Ye Qinghan thought to herself, Master really doesn’t see her as a person at all… This Shangguan Rou clearly lacked awareness—just because she suffered a little, she couldn’t take the embarrassment and now wanted to fight with sword in hand. Did she not assess the situation? Sis, are you even on my level? Your Foundation Establishment Realm compared to my Qi Refining Realm—are they even in the same world? I’m using an Innate Treasure! And it’s the Enhanced Version! I practice the Frost Edge Sword Technique! Even Immortal-grade techniques are trash in front of me! I bathe in Immortal Jade Dew! What do you have to compare with me? That tiny frame of yours—I’m afraid I might break you just by swinging!
Ye Qinghan didn’t mind though. It was a good opportunity to try out the immortal swords in her sword case. “Wait a moment, let me find where I put it.” As she spoke, Ye Qinghan pulled her collar and turned around, reaching inside her chest…
[My big treasure, how are you hiding another big treasure inside your big treasure?!]
“Huh? Where did I put it?” Ye Qinghan looked adorably confused. She clearly remembered putting it in her chest—her jade pendant and immortal pills were there—so where did the sword case go?
She leaned into Su Cheng’s arms, right under his eyes, tugging her collar with one hand while rummaging with the other…
“Fox demon! You’re asking for death!”
Shangguan Rou shouted, leaping with her sword. In a flash, her sword reached Ye Qinghan’s back. Ye Qinghan was beyond annoyed—can’t she see I’m busy showing Master my treasure? Master was staring so hard, and now you interrupt?!
Without even looking, she twisted and kicked. She forgot to hold back. Shangguan Rou was sent flying, vomiting blood, and was only saved by Lu Cheng catching her midair.
“Hey! Don’t fake it, I didn’t even use force!” Ye Qinghan gave up searching and shouted, “Stupid sword case! Come out now!”
She only meant to try, but to her surprise, the sword case actually obeyed! With a whoosh, it flew out from her collar as a streak of light, expanded midair, and slammed onto the ground beside her, cracking the street.
Ye Qinghan felt like she didn’t even need to use an immortal sword—just swinging the sword case alone would be enough to smash Shangguan Rou to death!
“Since Master agreed, I’ll play with you, but not too long. I still need to go eat out with Master! Just treat it as a pre-meal performance for Master!”
Ye Qinghan stomped, spiritual Qi burst forth, and with her red lips slightly parted, she softly called, “Come, sword!”
[Huh?]
[Why does my chief disciple suddenly feel kind of cool outside the sect?]
[She wasn’t like this in Soaring Immortal Hall at all!]
With two clacks, as if locks inside the case had opened, the sword case unfolded, revealing more than ten different immortal swords inside. After all, they were immortal swords—Ye Qinghan could only control a limited number. Four immortal swords instantly flew out and aimed straight at Shangguan Rou!
Shangguan Rou was already losing it. She wanted to knock away the flying swords and take this madwoman’s life—but reality proved otherwise.
Try to deflect an immortal sword? The moment her own sword clashed with one, the sheer force of the immortal sword pushed her back… Just one second in, Shangguan Rou sobered up.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ye Qinghan calmly sitting on the sword case, fastening its clasps—this girl was a monster! She was only at 9th stage Qi Refining Realm, and she was Foundation Establishment Realm!
Yet she had to use all her strength just to defend!
No time to think—more swords came. Shangguan Rou could barely fend them off and yelled, “Second Elder! What are you waiting for? Kill her!”
“But…” Lu Cheng wasn’t stupid. This was the woman the sect master fancied—how could he kill her?
“What but! I’ll take full responsibility! Just make a move!” Shangguan Rou was getting desperate. She was still a heaven’s pride! The chief disciple of Heavenly Dao Pavilion! Did this Second Elder get hit in the head?
Was he really going to stand by and watch her get beaten?
Ye Qinghan glanced at Su Cheng. He just smiled and said nothing.
[Let Qinghan have some fun. Judging by that look in her eyes, she seems eager to fight the Second Elder…]
[Given how much Cheng Liang values her, this Second Elder likely won’t dare to kill. Qinghan shouldn’t be in danger.]
[As long as that guy’s target isn’t me, even if Lu Cheng tries something, I can instantly take him out.]
Su Cheng was confident in his damage output. As long as the enemy didn’t try to kill him outright, he could one-shot anyone below the Spirit Severing Realm. But if someone truly wanted to kill him, he was just a mortal body—he’d die instantly… Get faster updates on novelping.com.
It wasn’t hard to understand. Ye Qinghan felt she understood her master more and more. Strong but fragile—he needed protection from his chief disciple! Hehe~
Ye Qinghan wasn’t in a rush. Shangguan Rou could barely handle two swords already. If Master hadn’t told her not to kill, Shangguan Rou would be dead by now. So Ye Qinghan split off two swords toward Lu Cheng while casually chatting with Master—she alone suppressed both of them…
Lu Cheng was stunned after just one exchange. Sect master? You said she was 9th stage Qi Refining Realm?
If she ever reached Foundation Establishment Realm, ten of him wouldn’t be enough!
Now he understood why Cheng Liang wanted her so badly. With this level of power, she’d be a target for every sect.
But she had chosen a trash—and treated him like a priceless treasure, calling him ‘Master’ with such devotion…
Lu Cheng held a bamboo stick, a low-grade Heaven-tier magical treasure. With his Nascent Soul Realm strength, he could barely hold his ground.
But Shangguan Rou was clearly at her limit! Her arms and thighs were slashed multiple times! Her clothes were shredded—she looked like she walked out of a modern fashion show full of ripped fabric.
Seeing that this wouldn’t do, Lu Cheng finally went all out. Ye Qinghan paused—seriously?
Master is watching! You want to embarrass me?
“You want to fight me, Ye Qinghan? Do you have the strength?” she shouted, stomping again. Oh, so you want to keep going? You don’t know when to quit?
With a flash, two more immortal swords flew toward Lu Cheng. Ye Qinghan got serious. Controlling six swords at once was already her limit. Any more, and she wouldn’t be able to control them accurately…
Lu Cheng was stunned—what kind of monster was this girl!?
Ye Qinghan glanced around, expecting nearby vendors to have fled, but they had simply kept a safe distance and were quietly watching this ‘immortal battle’ from afar…
“Qinghan, stop.”
“Master, are you hungry?” Ye Qinghan had actually wanted to try the Frost Edge Sword Technique on the Second Elder, but Master had spoken.
“If I hadn’t called you, you were probably about to go for the kill, weren’t you?” Su Cheng rubbed her little head with a pampering smile—no trace of blame.
Ye Qinghan didn’t speak. She just silently recalled her swords and squinted at Shangguan Rou. She put the sword case away and obediently stood behind Su Cheng.
“Miss Shangguan is indeed a young hero, worthy of being called a prodigy. I, Su Cheng, am impressed.”
“On behalf of my disciple, I thank Miss Shangguan for showing mercy. I failed to teach her properly. For her offense, I’ll make sure to discipline her when we return.”
“Elder Lu, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take Qinghan to eat.”
Lu Cheng and Shangguan Rou were both stunned. But compared to the hot-headed Shangguan Rou, Lu Cheng was more experienced.
“Sect Master Su is too polite. Miss Qinghan is gifted beyond measure. In time, she will surely become a dragon among men.”
“Sect Master Su, I won’t delay you further. Please go ahead.”
Su Cheng smiled and led Ye Qinghan to a nearby restaurant.
“Qinghan, order whatever you want! You performed really well today. I’m very proud!”
“Wow! Thank you, Master!”
What did Ye Qinghan care about food? All she wanted was her master’s praise and head pats! With Master’s praise, she could thrive on photosynthesis alone!
Still, unsure whether Master had enough money, she didn’t try everything on the menu. She just picked two dishes she liked, and then ordered Master’s favorites. This chapter is updated first at novelping.com.
[My Qinghan is so cool! Hehe, truly worthy of being my disciple! All my teachings weren’t in vain!]
[But this incident is a warning—I need to give Qinghan more magical treasures!]
[These two were still manageable, but what about next time? What if the enemy is stronger or comes in numbers?]
[I don’t mind dying—my life’s cheap—but Qinghan is my personal disciple. I must take responsibility.]
Ye Qinghan quietly listened. Was this Master’s upgrade plan? He was really planning to bombard her with heavenly treasures and magical weapons?
[It’s decided. Since I can’t win in combat, I’ll win with gear!]
[If nothing else, Master has lots of magical treasures and equipment!]
[If you push me too far, I’ll get Qinghan a Pangu Axe and chop down anyone who dares touch my disciple!]
Ye Qinghan was stunned. So Innate Treasures aren’t even the most insane thing yet?
“Qinghan, Master has a treasure—do you want it?”
Ye Qinghan blinked. She wasn’t in a rush. From Master’s tone, it sounded like these treasures would all be hers eventually. Why rush?
If she needed something, Master would definitely give it—no need to even ask.
“Master has already given me enough. I ask for nothing more. I only wish to stay by your side and serve you.”
[Uh… is she in obedient mode now?]
“Say you want it.”
“Alright, disciple wants it.” Ye Qinghan smiled, showing a helpless look like, ‘what can I do with this master of mine?’
“This is my Galaxy Ruler. If you can reach Foundation Establishment Realm before the secret realm opens, I’ll give it to you. Deal?”
[Hehe, with Qinghan’s personality, she definitely won’t refuse!]
“I don’t want it.” Oh? Master, you thought you knew her?
Ye Qinghan really wasn’t interested. She hadn’t even figured out the Six Ritual Gifts yet! With so many magical treasures, she didn’t even know how to use them! What’s the point of collecting them?
Besides, what’s Master’s is hers. If she really wanted it, she could get it with a little coaxing—why make a deal?
[That’s weird? Doesn’t this girl like magical treasures anymore?]
“You don’t like it? I’ve got others. Banana Fan? For girls? How about the Falling Immortal Zither?”
“I don’t like them.”
Tsk…
[Something’s wrong! Very wrong! Was the food poisoned?]
“If Qinghan succeeds, can Master agree to one small request?”
“As long as it’s your request… Master… will agree to all…”
[Could it be… Qinghan wants to leave Soaring Immortal Hall?!]
“Not everything!” Su Cheng quickly added.
