Chapter 2244: You Came
The Sacred Demonic Cult only ignored the taunting that the renowned righteous sects directed toward them.
Ning Shu navigated through the place and after numerous twists and turns, she arrived at a lotus pond. It was currently summer. There were lotus flowers in the pond, gently swaying while water flowed out of a bamboo pipe and into the pond.
When Ning Shu saw the lotus flowers, she immediately said to 2333 in her heart, “Look and see if there’s any world origin power.”
2333: …
A slender man in brocade clothes was standing next to the lotus pond. His back faced Ning Shu as he looked at the lotus flowers in the pond.
Ning Shu walked over and saw that there were even carp in the pond.
Qi Yi, the man, turned his head. He smiled at Ning Shu. “You came.”
Qi Yi had sharp eyebrows, clear eyes, and a straight back. He had the look that would make people feel secure around him.
His temperament also felt incompatible with a demonic sect. He always carried with him a faint aura of righteousness.
Maybe this was what had made him attractive to Hong Ye.
Like ah, this person was different. He was completely different from the other coquettish bitches from the Sacred Demonic Cult.
“Why did you call me here?” Ning Shu asked Qi Yi.
Qi Yi stared at Ning Shu with a scorching gaze. Meanwhile, Ning Shu’s face remained unchanged and she met Qi Yi’s gaze straight on.
Let’s see who’d go cross-eyed first.
“Hong Ye, have you heard of a book?” Qi Yi asked Ning Shu.
Ning Shu quickly shook her head. “I haven’t.”
Qi Yi: …
“It’s rumored that there exists a secret manual called ‘Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts’. It’s said that if you train using its teachings, you’d be able to understand Yin and Yang, and even surpass heaven and earth.” Ning Shu didn’t say anything in reply, so Qi Yi could only continue his monologue.
While Qi Yi was talking about the “Guiyuan Sacred Martial Arts” book, Mei Wu, who was standing not far away from them, frowned and sent him a glance. He then glanced at Ning Shu, before lowering his head.
“If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is. You shouldn’t listen to these kinds of unscrupulous rumors. It’s obviously the kind of lie you’d tell children. How can you fall for it?” said Ning Shu disapprovingly after rolling her eyes.
Qi Yi: …
“But they say that if you find the secret manual and cultivate using its teachings, you’ll gain miraculous powers. You’ll even be able to live with the people you want to be with forever.” Qi Yi stared at Ning Shu with a burning gaze.
Qi Yi’s eyes were very bright. His gaze could make people feel hot all over.
Ning Shu: →_→
This was a lecherous stare, ah.
“Gain miraculous powers?”
“Yes. And after you cultivate this divine power, you can become immortal. You can be with the person that your heart belongs to and live an idle life, separated from mortal matters,” Qi Yi said with a look of yearning. He looked at Ning Shu with ambiguous emotions in his eyes.
His method was both passionately warm and heartlessly cold at the same time.
Ning Shu: Miraculous powers…
Once he cultivated these amazing skills, he’d be very popular with the ladies. Not only would he be able to kiss women all day long, but he’d also be able to pa-pa-pa when night came.
Qi Yi was probably talking about this kind of miraculous power.
It would be better if he simply took ‘male enhancement’ pills instead.
“You are the younger sister of the sect leader. Can you help me find the secret manual? The two of us can train with it together,” Qi Yi said.
The original owner was really too naive. She hadn’t even noticed any problems with these kinds of words.
Those who were naturally pure really would still be pure despite being exposed to impurities.
They would still be so oblivious to this sort of thing →_→
The corners of Ning Shu’s lips hooked up. She nodded happily and said with a smile, “Okay, but let’s play a little game first. I want to see if I’ve made any improvement in terms of my martial arts skill. Let’s exchange some blows, although you’ll have to go easy on me a little bit.”
“Okay.”
Ning Shu and Qi Yi had exchanged only a few blows when she said, “Go easy on me! Can you at least pretend to be caught by me?”
Qi Yi looked helpless. They had barely fought at all when Ning Shu suddenly clasped his wrists. She quickly took out a rope and tied him up.
Qi Yi was a little surprised and struggled. “What are you doing?”
“Playing a game. I will ask a question, and you’ll have to answer.
“I like you. Do you like me too?” asked Ning Shu.
Qi Yi frowned. “Release me first, then I’ll answer you.”
“You don’t like me?” Ning Shu thwacked Qi Yi in the face.
