Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 509 World Nine 19

As it turns out, you can't use your own thoughts to guess what other people's intentions are.

You have no way of knowing what someone's brain is like.

Xu Ning had just made his statement during the day, and that very evening, Yin Yin and the others' house welcomed another uninvited guest.

Yinyin peeked through the crack in the door at the woman who looked strangely familiar outside. She didn't know whether to open the door or not, since the woman hadn't come looking for her.

Yinyin thought for a moment, then ran to find her master.

"Master, Fairy Ling Su is at the door. She says she has something to say to Junior Brother Tian Yuan."

Ruoshui lightly flicked Yinyin's forehead, then turned and called Qi Tianyuan over to handle it herself.

Qi Tianyuan thought for a moment, then took Yinyin with him and went to Jingyue.

“Fellow Daoist Xu Ning said those things during the day, and now Fairy Ling Su, who is from the same sect as him, has arrived. It’s really strange.”

"We're still on the First Sect's territory, and it doesn't seem right to turn away the sect leader's daughter. But if I were to go see her myself..."

Qi Tianyuan glanced at Jingyue: "Second Senior Brother, could you help me refuse?"

When his junior brother came knocking on his door like this, Jingyue naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Go back to your room and rest well. I'll tell you you're conserving your energy for tomorrow's competition."

Yinyin originally wanted to go with them, but Jingyue kept her behind.

Yinyin didn't go back to her room either, but followed Qi Tianyuan into his room, quietly watching the movements at the door.

Qi Tianyuan glanced at her a few times, then sat down and casually began wiping his sword.

A short while later, Jingyue returned, hands behind her back, shaking her head and sighing.

“Senior Brother Jingyue, what do you mean by this?” Yinyin felt he was acting strangely. “Can’t you just say what’s on your mind?”

"Can't I even sigh?" Jingyue said with some dissatisfaction. "Fairy Lingsu came here to tell Tianyuan Ming'er to be more careful during the competition."

"She said that Xu Ning has some tricks up his sleeve. If he feels that he is at a disadvantage, he sometimes doesn't care about anything and is prone to using some underhanded means to win."

After saying that, Jingyue winked at Xu Ning teasingly: "Where is Fairy Lingsu? She came all the way here to find you, and you didn't even see her. Aren't you disappointed?"

“What’s there to regret?” Qi Tianyuan said. “Didn’t we see enough in the ring today?”

Jingyue stared at him for a moment, then laughed: "Alright, you haven't fully grown up yet, how could you possibly appreciate Fairy Lingsu's beauty?"

"Is she beautiful?" Qi Tianyuan said calmly. "I think Master is much more beautiful than her. Even when Junior Sister grows up, she will definitely surpass her."

Qi Tianyuan reasoned with Jingyue: "Ling Su Fairy is indeed beautiful, but she is not so beautiful that she surpasses others by a large margin."

"The reason she has such a great reputation and is even called the number one beauty is mostly because of her status. The daughter of the number one sect leader must be the best."

Jingyue listened, stroked her chin and looked at him for a while: "Alright, I'll go back and rest, you should get some rest too."

Before Yin Yin could speak, Jing Yue gently pushed her out the door. Yin Yin only had time to greet Jing Yue.

Once they had walked a distance, Jingyue said to Yinyin, "Yinyin, I think Junior Brother Tianyuan is a problem."

Yinyin sensed he wasn't up to anything nice, but still cooperated and asked, "What's the problem?"

“I think Junior Brother Tianyuan is likely to be alone for the rest of his life,” Jingyue said, presenting evidence with an air of authority. “Look, he’s not even interested in beauties like Fairy Lingsu. What kind of woman will catch his eye in the future?”

Yinyin rolled her eyes, feeling that she had asked the wrong question.

"Senior Brother Jingyue, save your trouble. Junior Brother just hasn't met anyone he likes yet."

"Fairy Lingsu is beautiful, but she's not a top-grade spirit stone that everyone likes."

"Besides, we've already started cultivating immortality, this is nothing compared to what we've accomplished. Isn't it a bit premature for you to talk about your junior brother like this?"

“You don’t understand, this is a kind of intuition,” Jingyue looked at the moon in the sky and sighed. “A cultivator’s premonition doesn’t come out of thin air.”

"Oh," Yin Yin responded, but then suddenly thought of something.

If Qi Tianyuan does indeed end up separated from his family and friends, then what Jingyue said might not be wrong.

But, given how far things have come, will Qi Tianyuan still meet the same fate?

Yinyin went back to her room. She thought she would be thinking about this for a long time and wouldn't be able to sleep, but she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.

The next day, the contest between Qi Tianyuan and Xu Ning began on time.

Although Xu Ning's thought process is unusual, he is still capable, but he is still a bit inferior to Qi Tianyuan.

To save face for the First Sect, Qi Tianyuan defeated Xu Ning in no time, but his acting was mediocre, and Xu Ning saw through it.

Xu Ning was furious and started taking out talismans that shouldn't belong to Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Qi Tianyuan dodged awkwardly, but he was also provoked.

Just as Qi Tianyuan was about to knock Xu Ning off the stage with a single sword strike, Xu Ning took out a box filled with black energy, opened it, and threw the contents at Qi Tianyuan.

They were too close together, and although Qi Tianyuan tried his best to avoid them, he still couldn't completely escape.

A speck of black substance touched Qi Tianyuan's body, and almost instantly, his entire body was enveloped in a black mist resembling demonic energy.

"What happened? What did Xu Ning throw away?"

The onlookers discussed amongst themselves, retreating further and further as they looked at the black substance that had fallen to the side of the field.

Xu Ning was quite pleased, without the slightest hint of guilt, and even had the mind to remind the elder watching from the side: "Can we light the incense now?"

The rules of the competition state that if one side is trapped in the illusion created by the other side and cannot escape, the time limit is one incense stick's time.

If you haven't escaped by the time the incense has burned out, you're a loser.

Xu Ning was ready to enjoy the fruits of victory and regarded everyone who pointed fingers at him as jealous. He also failed to notice the ugly expression on the face of the First Sect Master at the head of the table.

Yinyin and Jingyue clenched their fists, and even Xuanguang stared intently at the figure in the black mist.

As the incense burned out and fell, just a finger's width away, a sword pierced through the black mist and struck Xu Ning directly.

Caught off guard, Xu Ning was knocked off the stage.

Just as he was still in disbelief, Qi Tianyuan, who was standing on the stage and still had black aura around him, suddenly knelt down on the stage and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yin Yin reacted the fastest, tugging at her two senior brothers and rushing forward to help Qi Tianyuan.

Yinyin was small, and the hand that supported Qi Tianyuan happened to touch his pulse point.

Oh no, Xu Ning somehow got hold of something made of true demonic energy.

Now that the seal on Qi Tianyuan's body has cracked due to the stimulation of demonic energy, his hybrid immortal-demon physique can no longer be hidden!
