Chapter 10: Obtaining the Soul Technique, Su Ye is a Show-off
After Lin Yue and the other disciples of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect fled in embarrassment from the eighth floor, the terrifying aura surrounding the young girl gradually dissipated.
At this moment, Luo Qinghuan's face was flushed red, making her look incredibly adorable. Her heart pounded nervously, filled with both tension and apprehension, much like a well-behaved girl committing her first misdeed.
"Luo girl, how does it feel?"
In her mind,
Su Ye chuckled lightly as he asked.
"I... I don't know..."
Luo Qinghuan shook her head slightly, her delicate face full of seriousness as she clenched her small fists.
"But this feeling... it's very strange."
"Even though it's my first time doing this, it feels like... like I've been longing to do this deep down inside."
When the guilt and nervousness of a well-behaved girl committing her first misdeed faded, what awaited her was the style of a demoness.
It seemed that
Luo Qinghuan truly had great potential to become a demoness.
Su Ye nodded approvingly in his mind.
"Good."
Su Ye softly spoke to Luo Qinghuan.
"Let's leave too."
"Mm~" Luo Qinghuan nodded gently, turning to walk toward the exit of the eighth floor.
As she stepped out of the Cultivation Tower, Elder Yan's gaze immediately fell upon her, and he asked curiously, "Hmm? Qinghuan, did something happen on the eighth floor? Lin Yue and those guys have already left the eighth floor, and now even you're coming out."
Hearing this,
Luo Qinghuan blushed slightly, as if feeling guilty.
After a while, she finally whispered, "I... I absorbed all the spiritual energy on the eighth floor. There's no more spiritual energy left, so I came down from the eighth floor."
"..."
Upon hearing this,
Not only Elder Yan froze, but even the passing disciples of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect were stunned.
Their eyes widened in shock and astonishment as they looked at Luo Qinghuan.
"What... what... WHAT?"
Elder Yan's mouth twitched uncontrollably as he stared at the girl in disbelief.
"Lo... Luo girl, you... you absorbed all the spiritual energy on the eighth floor?"
"Mhm."
The girl nodded brightly.
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing this,
A wave of gasps erupted around them.
"Is Senior Sister Luo really this formidable?"
"The higher the floor in the Cultivation Tower, the denser the spiritual energy—it's enough for dozens of talented disciples to cultivate together. Yet Senior Sister Luo alone absorbed all the spiritual energy on the eighth floor?"
"Hiss..."
"This is unprecedented among the talented disciples of our Xuan Yin Holy Sect!"
"Senior Sister Luo is so strong!"
The disciples of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Do these people really need to be so shocked?"
"With your big brother here, absorbing the spiritual energy of one floor is child's play!"
"Come, Luo girl."
"Let your big brother tell you about his glorious achievements and give this old man a little surprise."
In her mind,
Su Ye continued to rant endlessly.
Just one floor's worth of spiritual energy? If it were him, the Bandit Emperor, not only would he absorb the eighth floor of the Cultivation Tower, but he'd even borrow a bit of spiritual energy from the entire Xuan Yin Holy Sect.
"That... Elder Yan, I... I'll take my leave now."
Hearing Su Ye's words, Luo Qinghuan's face flushed red as she quickly bid farewell to Elder Yan. She feared that Su Ye, the show-off, might take control of her body and brag to Elder Yan for three days and nights.
"This girl..."
"To think she could absorb all the spiritual energy on the eighth floor in one go."
Watching Luo Qinghuan's retreating figure, Elder Yan couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she's someone the sect leader favors... In the future, she might become a saintess prodigy, or even... an empress-like existence!"
...
On the way back, Su Ye continued to talk nonstop about his grand achievements as the Bandit Emperor. Listening to him made Luo Qinghuan's head ache, and she began to regret leaving.
She wished Elder Yan had stayed behind to endure this torment instead.
"Oh?"
"Luo girl, we have a rare guest visiting today."
At this moment,
Su Ye suddenly stopped his endless chatter and chuckled meaningfully.
"A rare guest?"
Hearing this, Luo Qinghuan was momentarily confused. She stood on her tiptoes and looked up.
There, at the entrance of the courtyard, stood two familiar figures—Taiyin Zhenren and the green-skirted girl Meng'er.
Upon seeing Luo Qinghuan return, their eyes lit up. The former immediately forced a smile and hurried over.
"Qinghuan..."
"You've been gone for so long—I've been waiting for you."
Seeing this scene,
Su Ye frowned slightly, worried that this girl might fall for the deception and choose to forgive this old man.
"Mas..."
Seeing Taiyin Zhenren's smiling face, Luo Qinghuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She instinctively wanted to call him "Master," but recalling Su Ye's words, she quickly corrected herself, forcing her voice to sound colder.
Her delicate face grew distant.
"Elder Taiyin, may I ask why you've come to my courtyard?"
"..."
Hearing Luo Qinghuan's address, the forced smile on Taiyin Zhenren's face visibly stiffened. He then forced a bitter laugh, "Qinghuan, are you still upset with me? It was my mistake earlier—I shouldn't have ignored you. Your things should be decided by you."
"Hmph."
"After doing everything wrong, now you want to repent?"
Hearing Taiyin Zhenren's words, Su Ye couldn't help but sneer. This old man was truly hypocritical.
However,
He didn't say anything further.
He wanted to see how Luo Qinghuan would respond.
"Elder Taiyin, you are no longer my master—that was your decision. There's no need to address me as such anymore."
Luo Qinghuan shook her head, her delicate face full of seriousness.
Upon hearing this,
Taiyin Zhenren's expression grew even stiffer. Suppressing the coldness in his eyes, he forced another smile, "Qinghuan, don't say such hurtful words."
"Today, I've brought Meng'er to apologize to you."
After saying this,
He immediately signaled Meng'er beside him.
The latter immediately pouted, feigning a pitiful expression, and said in a small voice, "Senior Sister Luo, I know I was wrong—it's my fault. Please forgive me."
"Yes."
"Coincidentally, Elder Tianyin has just emerged from seclusion and learned of this matter. She scolded this girl."
"She even specifically instructed me to bring you, Qinghuan, to meet her. She wants to personally apologize to you on behalf of Meng'er."
Beside them,
Taiyin Zhenren eagerly chimed in.
"Tianyin?"
Su Ye frowned slightly.
"Elder Tianyin is one of the inner sect elders of the Xuan Yin Holy Sect. It's said that Junior Sister Meng'er is the great-granddaughter of Elder Tianyin." Upon hearing Su Ye's question, Luo Qinghuan quietly explained in her mind.
Oh?
So it's a trap?
Su Ye raised an eyebrow and asked Luo Qinghuan, "So, do you plan to go or not?"
