Chapter 299 The Aloof Senior Brother is Easily Flirted With (28)

Qing Shen didn't stay inside for long, or rather, not as long as Xie Qingyu had expected.

Basically, not long after those three people went in, Qing Shen had already come out.

Xie Qingyu looked at Qing Shen as he came out, and there seemed to be a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" The first thing Qing Shen did after coming out was to look Xie Qingyu up and down to make sure she was safe.

"It's nothing." Xie Qingyu looked at Qing Shen, a smile appearing in her eyes. "Congratulations, Senior Brother."

Qing Shen coughed, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes. As he reached forward, a sword appeared.

The sword is simple and sharp, with only a few blood grooves. It has no special embellishments in its design, but you can tell its difference at a glance.

The hilt is equally unassuming, with intricate patterns occupying only one side, exuding an ancient and rustic feel.

"An ancient artifact!" Xie Qingyu reached out but couldn't touch it.

The sword energy itself carries a barrier.

“It’s somewhat sharp,” Qing Shen explained.

"It seems that Senior Brother made the right choice in coming to this secret realm." Xie Qingyu's voice carried a hint of teasing.

Qing Shen, however, was unusually serious. "I have to thank my junior sister, otherwise I wouldn't have come all this way."

Only those who enter will know the true extent of this secret realm; it is nothing like the harmless place it appeared to be when it first appeared.

If Qing Shen hadn't come with Xie Qingyu, he really wouldn't have been interested in this little secret realm, let alone come in.

"I will repay you handsomely when we return," Qing Shen said.

Xie Qingyu had already put away the soft couch, and upon hearing this, she smiled and leaned closer.

Qing Shen smelled the approaching fragrance, which seemed to have enveloped him completely.

The owner of the fragrance seemed oblivious, and instead moved closer until only a finger's width of space remained between them. She then stopped, asking, "Senior Brother, how will you thank me?"

After asking the question, Xie Qingyu stepped back, but her gaze remained fixed on Qing Shen, as if waiting for his answer.

Seeing Xie Qingyu's gaze linger on his lips for a long time, Qing Shen felt extremely uncomfortable.

"We'll talk about that once we're out." He abruptly changed the subject. "Shall we go up now?"

Xie Qingyu crossed her arms and, seeing Qing Shen's somewhat evasive gaze, went along with him and stopped bringing up the previous topic.

"Let's not go up yet," Xie Qingyu said, pointing to the cave entrance where the two of them had first come out. "Let's wait for Qingtian."

"Are you sure they're behind us?" Qing Shen asked.

"The Hehuan Sect members are waiting for someone nearby..." Xie Qingyu's meaning was self-evident.

They were all very clear about Xiaoqing's identity.

“Then let’s wait for them to come out,” Qing Shen said immediately.

"Let's find another spot," Xie Qingyu pointed to a large tree on the side.

The current location of this platform isn't ideal. Aside from the fact that it's the entrance to Jian Ge, other people might come here.

Furthermore, Xie Qingyu suspected that the Hehuan Sect members had been here before, so they were likely to be seen here. It wouldn't be a good thing for either Qingyao, who came out from inside, or the Hehuan Sect members above to see them.

Qing Shen looked at the tree that Xie Qingyu had pointed to.

This tree grows halfway up the mountain, right below the cliff.

This also means that it cannot be seen from above.

He nodded and immediately moved to a different location.

This tree is incredibly old, with a very thick trunk. It could easily support two people sitting on it, but it would be a bit difficult to sit more comfortably.

The tree trunk is not straight, and it will lean a bit when you sit on it.

Qing Shen, sitting to Xie Qingyu's left, was able to keep both of them from falling.

After a while, Xie Qingyu's body involuntarily leaned towards Qing Shen.

Even through several layers of fabric, the two could feel the heat of each other's skin.

Qing Shen coughed lightly, feeling a little uncomfortable, but remained motionless.

He silently thought to himself that there was nothing he could do about it; it was difficult to move his body up in the tree, and he was also easy to be spotted.

Xie Qingyu didn't notice Qing Shen's state, or if she had, she might have been even more tilted.

Her gaze was now fixed on the cave entrance from which they had emerged.

On Lingyun Peak, Qingtian's cultivation level is considered very high.

Aside from not being able to catch up with Qing Shen, he's not much worse in other aspects. Even if Qing Yao deliberately drags him down, he should be able to get out of there soon.

Besides, they've already eliminated the monsters by the stream, so their escape should be easier.

Judging by the time, it should be ready around this time.

“It’s almost time,” Qing Shen suddenly said.

Both of them had a good understanding of Qingtian's strength and personality, and their estimated time was about the same.

However, Xie Qingyu said, "If they still haven't come out after a while, there might be another possibility."

"What's going on? Will they drift away with the current?" Qing Shen didn't react for a moment and asked subconsciously.

After all, if you go with the current, you might not end up anywhere.

Xie Qingyu shook her head and turned to look at Qing Shen, "What could be causing this delay if they're with people from the Hehuan Sect?"

Xie Qingyu's tone was flippant, and the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Qing Shen stared blankly at her lips as she spoke, and for some reason suddenly remembered Xie Qingyu's words praising his body when they were in the cave.

A blush gradually crept onto Qing Shen's earlobes, but he still said, "It shouldn't be. Qing Tian is resolute."

If it were any other disciple of the Lingyun Sect here, Qing Shen might have been more concerned out of a sense of responsibility.

However, he had almost no such worries about Qing Tian.

Although he is usually lively, active, and loves making friends, he spends most of his time focused on cultivation and is unlikely to come into contact with anything that would damage his cultivation.

Xie Qingyu probably sensed his thoughts and said softly, "He doesn't know that Xiaoqing is from the Hehuan Sect."

This is a bit tricky.

If Qingtian knew that Xiaoqing was from the Hehuan Sect, he would definitely have taken precautions against being exploited by the sect for yin-yang replenishment.

However, if one is unaware of this, normal dual cultivation is also a method of cultivation, and Lingyun Peak does not prohibit it.

After Xie Qingyu finished speaking, neither of them said anything.

No one knew the current situation inside, only saying, "If they don't come out after a while, I'll go in and look for them."

Qing Shen's ability to say such a thing already indicates his concern.

They have always adhered to the principle that each person has their own destiny in their cultivation. Unless it is a matter of life and death, they rarely interfere in other people's affairs, even if they are from the same school.

Fortunately, the commotion below made them realize that they didn't need to go in to rescue anyone.

Xiaoqing was carried out in Qingtian's arms.

Xie Qingyu and Qing Shen exchanged a glance upon seeing this scene, both seeing a hint of shock and doubt in each other's eyes.

Qingtian, who came out from below, did not notice them yet, but instead placed Xiaoqing on the ground.

Seeing his actions, the two men above breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that things weren't as they had thought.

They were close enough to hear the conversation between the two people below.
