How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ye Yueyue looked up in surprise, her gaze filled with curiosity as she examined him.

The boy in front of her showed no dissatisfaction; his expression remained indifferent, unlike his usual playful teasing.

He had his head down, his eyelashes slightly lowered, and there was an expression in his deep eyes that she couldn't understand. The strong afternoon light shone down, gilding his profile and undoubtedly adding to the superiority of his almost perfect face.

Ye Yueyue didn't pay much attention to what he was thinking; she was just wondering why Ming Qiuyang wasn't arguing with her today.

However, he is still very handsome when he is not talking.

Seeing her unabashed gaze, so direct and naked, Ming Qiuyang couldn't help but recall a scene from a few days ago.

Meeting Ye Yueyue's bright and clear eyes, which held a hint of curiosity, his eyelids trembled slightly, and he lowered his gaze to hide the flutter in his heart.

Ye Yueyue glanced at him and tentatively said, "You're not allowed to call me 'shorty' anymore."

"Ah."

"Don't bully me."

Ming Qiuyang paused, wanting to retort that he had never bullied her, but glancing at the girl's pouting lips out of the corner of his eye, he felt a slight stirring in his heart, "Okay."

???

What's going on? Is this still the Ming Qiuyang she knows, the one who always argues and contradicts her?

Could it have been worn too?

Ye Yueyue's gaze swept across his face, carefully examining his entire body, before finally settling on his slightly red earlobes, where she suddenly realized something.

People with such a sharp tongue deserve a kiss; a kiss will make them behave.

As her gaze swept over his slightly pursed lips, Ye Yueyue's heart stirred, but she managed to suppress her restless desire.

The two of them were relatively speechless for a moment.

Finally, Ye Yueyue couldn't help but speak up, "Then I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Ming Qiuyang's gaze fell on the girl's bright face.

Her red dress was as eye-catching as when they first met, making him notice her immediately in the crowd. Even though she was small and short, she still attracted his attention.

"See you next time!"

Ye Yueyue waved to him and turned to leave.

Ming Qiuyang looked away, his heart pounding even harder at that moment, and he frowned as he pressed his hand to his chest.

Is he sick?

……

Ye Yueyue returned to Wangyue Garden and went into seclusion for a whole month to prepare for the upcoming sect competition. During this month, she studied swordsmanship and alchemy every day.

Even at night, he didn't forget to practice diligently.

Although she didn't go to the Pill Alliance assessment, Ye Yueyue felt that she should at least have the skills of a first-grade alchemist.

This month, she successfully refined all the first-grade pills. Although she failed quite a few times and the final quality was only low-grade, she tried again and again and increased the success rate to 10 pills.

If the quality is not good, then the quantity must keep up, right?

Having spent the past six months refining pills and going to the Pill Peak every day, Ye Yueyue also realized her special abilities. Compared to others, her pill-making success rate was extremely high.

That's ridiculously high. Ye Yueyue asked Si Keke out of curiosity, but she subconsciously didn't say that she was 100%, but told her that she was 80%.

The other party was surprised but also happy for her, and praised her for being very talented. However, Si Keke didn't know why, so she could only let it go.

It wasn't that Ye Yueyue didn't trust the other party, but rather that without legal constraints, she wouldn't reveal everything.

In the Nine Provinces Continent, the only person she could ever completely trust was herself.

This was a trump card Ye Yueyue kept for herself; even among friends, not everything needs to be known.

Not only has Ye Yueyue made great progress in alchemy, but she has also improved her understanding of the Heaven-Shaking Divine Sword Technique. Although she doesn't have high hopes of entering the top 100 of Sword Peak, she has still practiced diligently this month.

Rankings are just one way to measure results. Even if she doesn't rank high, it doesn't mean anything, after all, she has only been cultivating for less than a year.

Only she knows what she gained from it.

Ye Yueyue was no longer as anxious as she had been at the beginning. Today was the last day of the outer sect competition, and she made breakfast with great interest before opening the spiritual scroll and starting to browse.

If you don't play for a month, and then inject spiritual energy, the messages will ring out rhythmically.

She glanced at it briefly and replied.

Finally, as a matter of routine, I sent a message to Yu Wan.

Good morning, Senior Brother Yu! I've emerged from seclusion!

Have you eaten? [Photo]

Ye Yueyue also took a picture of her breakfast with the spiritual tablet and sent it to the camera. The picture showed her face and her slender fingers making a peace sign at the camera.

The people in the photo take up most of the space.

A bowl of seafood porridge was placed on a stone table to the side, topped with bright red shrimp and garnished with chopped green onions, which looked very appetizing.

However, Yu Wan only glanced at it, and then his attention was completely focused on the girl's bright face, and... that fair hand.

Even through the screen, he could almost feel the soft touch of that fleeting moment from last time.

He saved the photo, tapped it a few times with his slender fingertips, and a faint smile played on his lips.

【No. 】

Ye Yueyue pursed her lips when she saw his reply.

No fun. This man is only interesting when you meet him.

……

After the meal, Ye Yueyue pulled Jian Youqing along and they came to the outer gate after a long time. She had never been to the outer gate before, except for the time she remembered. Although she passed by it every time she came in and out, she had never stopped to take a good look at it.

This time, she wanted to see the outer sect competition, which was why Ye Yueyue came out of seclusion a day early. Although the inner and outer sect competitions might not be the same, it would still be good to broaden her horizons.

Upon arriving at the square, one sees a bustling crowd, with a group of outer disciples cheering excitedly.

But there were too many people, and she was too short to see anything. Ye Yueyue once again missed her 1.7-meter height from her previous life.

She quickened her pace and pulled Jian Youqing into the crowd, where the scene of the competition on the stage finally came into view.

On the fighting platform, two people, one tall and one short, were locked in a fierce battle. The tall man was showing signs of weakness, while the short man was becoming increasingly courageous, and the fight had now reached a fever pitch.

Ye Yueyue used her divine sense to sense that both of them were at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

With a vicious move by the shorter man, the tall man fell to the ground.

The man slumped to the edge of the dueling platform, panting heavily. The man in front of him wore a triumphant smile, scoffing contemptuously as he glanced at the fallen man with disdain.

"Get out of here."

After saying this, he glared at him and raised his foot to kick the person off the stage.

"Go, Senior Brother Qu!"

"Come on, get back up!"

"Senior Brother Qu, you can definitely do it."

The surrounding disciples were all cheering him on. Ye Yueyue glanced at everyone curiously, then poked the nearest disciple and asked, "Why are you all cheering him on?"

Upon hearing this, the outer disciple glanced at Ye Yueyue and explained, "Because if Senior Brother Qu doesn't enter the inner sect this year, he will have to leave the Xuanling Sect."
