The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"No, I'm fine! Master, you don't need to worry!"

"Well, it's good that you're alright, but you were acting a bit strange today," Lin Yunhan said.

Zhou Jingqi remained silent. It's better not to explain these things; the more you explain, the more complicated it becomes.

Seeing her silent disciple, Lin Yunhan didn't ask any more questions and pulled Han Wanqing to the other side to relax.

But not long after, strange noises were heard.

"嘤咛!"

"?"

"??"

Zhou Jingyi's face became increasingly flushed, and it was unclear what had happened.

"W-what's wrong, Jingyi?"

"Ugh, no, it's nothing, sister, I just..." Zhou Jingyi said evasively.

"Chen Xuan!" Zhou Jingqi transmitted through gritted teeth.

She knew it was Chen Xuan who was behind it, even with her eyes closed.

"Ahem, I just wanted to say that Jingyi stepped on me just now!" Chen Xuan transmitted his voice.

"And then?" Zhou Jingqi asked, her face darkening.

"Then I'm thinking of having Xiao Jingyi change her seat, otherwise she might step on me and cause an accident!" Chen Xuan said matter-of-factly.

"How much does Jingyi weigh? You'll have a problem?" Zhou Jingqi was furious and kicked him with her delicate foot.

However, Lin Yunhan and the others were also present, so she dared not make too much noise and her kicks became very weak, naturally unable to cause any harm to Chen Xuan.

"Jingqi, what's going on? What's wrong with Jingyi?" Lin Yunhan and Han Wanqing looked over after hearing the voice.

"It's nothing, I just felt a bit hot and wanted to come up for some fresh air, but I accidentally twisted my ankle!" Zhou Jingyi explained, while frantically using her hands to signal Chen Xuan not to move.

"Oh, I see!" Lin Yunhan nodded without giving it much thought.

"But Jingyi, why is your face so red?"

"Uh, maybe I used too much force just now, that's why it turned red!" Zhou Jingyi explained.

"..."

Lin Yunhan and Han Wanqing were speechless. They could still see through such a clumsy lie!

"In that case, be careful. If you really can't take it, go ashore and rest for a while!"

"Yes, yes, I'll be careful!"

……

"Yunhan, I feel like these two sisters are acting strange today?" Han Wanqing whispered as the two women returned to their seats.

“It is indeed a bit strange, but don’t worry, with the two of us here, what could possibly happen? Let’s continue talking about your matter!” Lin Yunhan said with a smile.

"That's true, nothing will happen to them, but I don't dare to go to my side..."

"嘤咛!"

This time it's Zhou Jingqi's voice.

"?"

"??"

"Jingqi, what's going on with you two today?" Lin Yunhan shouted, then went directly to Zhou Jingqi and her sister. Han Wanqing followed with great interest.

From Chen Xuan's perspective, two more pairs of jade feet immediately appeared.

However, one pair of shoes with a red string tied around her neck stunned him. He even forgot to punish Zhou Jingqi and immediately let go of her.

He knew these feet too well; he'd been taking care of them for over ten years, even getting his manicures done by them. The red string on his ankle was a gift from them too. There was absolutely no way he could mistake them!

'This...this can't be! How could Han Wanqing be here?!'

"You two sisters, is something wrong? Why are you both blushing?"

"Ah?! No, no, Master, but, maybe it's just too hot!" Zhou Jingqi quickly explained.

"Is it really hot?" Lin Yunhan looked up at the sky. A few white clouds floated in the sky, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was a relaxing day.

"Yes, it is a bit hot!" Zhou Jingyi nodded in agreement.

"You guys really have a problem!" Lin Yunhan said sternly, moving even closer.

"Chen Xuan, you bastard! You've made me suffer! Once this is over, I'll never forgive you!" Zhou Jingqi transmitted her voice in grief and indignation.

"What, not going to say anything now? Yeah, not saying anything won't help, you're dead!" She kicked Chen Xuan again.

"Why aren't you saying anything? What's going on with you guys??" Seeing her apprentice's grief-stricken expression, Lin Yunhan couldn't help but want to go over and take a look.

"No, I'm fine, Master. You don't need to come over!"

"You silly child, if you're not feeling well, just tell your teacher. Why are you being so distant!" Lin Yunhan ignored her and walked closer step by step.

However, Zhou Jingqi had no chance of letting her actually come over. She got up and went to greet Lin Yunhan, in which she also stepped on Chen Xuan's foot.

"Oh dear, I'm really fine, Master! You can see for yourself!"

"Wanqing, come here and take a look at this girl. You've studied pill formulas with Chen Xuan, so you know a bit about this. I don't know anything about medicine, so I can't tell anything."

"Alright, you two are really something, you're so old and you still can't make Yunhan's life easier!" Han Wanqing walked closer step by step and grabbed Zhou Jingqi's wrist.

"Hmm?" She frowned instantly.

"What, what's wrong?"

"An irregular heartbeat is impossible for a cultivator at the Golden Core stage!"

What is arrhythmia?

"Well... well, you wouldn't understand anyway, Chen Xuan told me all this! The last time he used this word was when he was giving it to me..."

Han Wanqing immediately shut up, then looked at Zhou Jingqi in surprise.

"Little girl, you're quite something!" she said with a half-smile.

"W-what's wrong?" Zhou Jingqi asked anxiously.

"Yes, what's wrong with my apprentice?!" Lin Yunhan asked hurriedly.

"It's nothing serious. If a Golden Core cultivator experiences this kind of irregular heartbeat, it's because someone they like is in front of them..."

"What?!" Lin Yunhan was instantly flustered.

You have to understand, Zhou Jingqi is her most precious disciple, the most promising cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in nearly a hundred years! And it's not that she doesn't allow her to find a partner, but at this stage, cultivation is the most important thing!

"Who is it? I need to have a serious talk with that kid!"

"No, no!" Zhou Jingyi quickly waved her hand.

Lin Yunhan kept a straight face, while Han Wanqing watched the show.

"No, I really don't!" Zhou Jingqi exclaimed anxiously. This Fairy Han was talking complete nonsense. How could she possibly have those kinds of feelings for Chen Xuan?

The reason her heart was racing was simply because that despicable bastard Chen Xuan had attacked her in the water, and she dared not reveal herself!

"Yes, how could that be? My sister has always been single-minded; there's no way she could have someone she likes!"

"I almost forgot about you, little girl. Wanqing, go and take a look at her and see what's going on!" Lin Yunhan said with a serious expression.

"no problem!"

"Wait, wait for me..." Before Zhou Jingyi could finish speaking, Han Wanqing had already appeared in front of her.

"Pfft!"

She fell into the water.

"Give me your hand... Hmm? This aura is...?!"
