Jiang Bingbing couldn’t cultivate—she couldn’t even manage Guiding Qi into the Body, let alone Sword Flight.
After getting ready, the two of them arrived at the small courtyard’s entrance.
There, the senior sister used her slender jade-like fingers to form a very complex hand gesture.
She also murmured something under her breath.
“Whoosh—”
A deep blue flying sword suddenly appeared in the courtyard, surrounded by a thin layer of white mist.
Probably the senior sister’s spiritual power.
“Let’s go, junior sister.”
As Liu Zheng spoke, she picked Jiang Bingbing up and placed her steadily at the front of the flying sword.
“Rise!”
The flying sword soared into the air.
The feeling of weightlessness made Jiang Bingbing panic for a moment.
It was like riding a roller coaster without safety measures.
The wind howled past her ears, blowing Jiang Bingbing’s straight bangs completely up to the top of her head.
Out of habit, she wanted to pull out a small mirror and comb from her pocket to fix her bangs.
She patted around but couldn’t find them.
Remembering she had transmigrated into an idiot, she didn’t need to worry about her bangs ruining her beauty anyway.
Fine.
Might as well completely let go.
But…
This wind was really strong, blowing her facial features into a mess.
“Se… senior sister…” she struggled to shout in the wind, “My—nose—is—running!”
Liu Zheng behind her took a sharp breath.
“Sorry, junior sister, I forgot to use the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl on you.”
Her tone was still meticulous, but Jiang Bingbing could tell she had something on her mind. Could it be that senior sister was thinking about someone she liked?
The Wind-Stabilizing Pearl hovered above her head, surrounding her with a transparent spherical protective barrier. The raging wind abruptly stopped.
Inside the protective barrier, she stood steadily.
Logically, all Sword Cultivators would use Sword Flight to reach the high platform square outside the Sword Tomb.
But they were going by Flying Ship.
Because Jiang Bingbing couldn’t cultivate.
If they flew for too long, she would get tired from standing.
After arriving at the main peak, Immortal Lord Qingxue, Wen Yuzhao, and Xie Yingnan were already waiting at the summit.
Liu Zheng helped her down, respectfully bowed to Immortal Lord Qingxue, and then said, “If we depart now, we can reach Kanlie Platform in the time it takes for one incense stick to burn.”
“Alright, senior sister.”
A gentle voice softly responded.
Jiang Bingbing looked up and saw second senior brother Wen Yuzhao, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, also looking at her.
He was completely different from Xie Yingnan’s wild and unrestrained appearance, exuding a gentle and refined aura all around.
Like a naturally carved piece of high-quality Hetian jade.
Completely non-threatening, appearing very harmless.
She really liked second senior brother like this!
Immortal Lord Qingxue: “Let’s depart!”
“Ah! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!”
Jiang Bingbing was lifted into the air by Xie Yingnan grabbing her collar.
She flailed her limbs and turned her head.
Seeing that guy’s face full of a mischievous grin.
Damn!
Must be a Scorpio, holding grudges like this!
She was carried onto the Flying Ship.
That guy, while Immortal Lord Qingxue and the others weren’t paying attention, let go of her before she even landed.
Jiang Bingbing, following the momentum, was about to fall.
Just as she thought she was going to fall flat on her face, a pair of pale hands reached out to support her arm.
Wen Yuzhao asked with concern, “Little junior sister looks very weak. Are you still not feeling well?”
Jiang Bingbing blinked but didn’t speak.
Wen Yuzhao, seeing she didn’t respond, was used to it. He led her to a small table where neatly arranged pastries were placed. “Junior sister, have something to eat.”
“Mmm-hmm~” she nodded.
Over there, Liu Zheng and Immortal Lord Qingxue were discussing important matters, both looking serious.
Xie Yingnan, seeing she didn’t react, felt it was no fun.
He scoffed and walked to the Flying Ship’s Formation Array, pouring a large number of Spirit Stones into the Formation Eye with a clattering sound.
Jiang Bingbing nibbled on a pastry while quietly observing.
All those Spirit Stones just now had been poured out from Xie Yingnan’s ring.
That meant this ring contained space inside.
In this regard, the novel hadn’t lied to her.
Xie Yingnan seemed to sense her gaze and turned to look over. Jiang Bingbing opened her little mouth and grinned foolishly.
Pastry crumbs were scattered all over her clothes.
“…”
Xie Yingnan frowned in disdain, thinking to himself: This little disciple of Immortal Lord Qingxue from Jade Immortal Peak really is an idiot.
Could it be that he was overthinking things?
He withdrew his gaze and went to meditate and cultivate nearby.
Jiang Bingbing also stopped looking at Xie Yingnan and began examining the Flying Ship, taking the opportunity to expand her knowledge.
The Flying Ship was engraved with ten small Formation Arrays.
And one large Formation Array.
Judging by the amount of Spirit Stones Xie Yingnan had just poured in, this was not something an ordinary family could afford—even within the Sword Sect, not everyone could afford such a thing.
The Cultivators they had passed earlier were all using Sword Flight.
Probably each peak could have one such Flying Ship if their financial situation was decent.
Just as Liu Zheng had said, as soon as an incense stick’s time had passed, they arrived above the Kanlie Platform.
A dense crowd of Sword Sect disciples flew past them. Just moments ago, Jiang Bingbing had thought the scenery was as beautiful as a painting, but now she felt it was like dumplings being dropped into a swimming pool.
She pulled her head back inside.
No longer in the mood to look outside.
In the sky, only this one exquisite and magnificent Flying Ship from Jade Immortal Peak stood out, naturally drawing attention.
Seeing this highly respected peak master within the sect, the many disciples consciously made way on both sides.
The Flying Ship descended leisurely onto the Kanlie Platform.
Liu Zheng came over to take Jiang Bingbing’s hand, and the group followed behind Immortal Lord Qingxue.
Below the platform were the admiring gazes of the disciples.
Jiang Bingbing faintly heard.
“This is Immortal Lord Qingxue, truly transcendent like an immortal descended to earth. With such looks, it’s hard to imagine anyone else in the Sword Sect who could compare—truly like an immortal~”
So her master was the sect’s idol.
“Actually, the peak master of Heavenly Secrets Peak is no less handsome than Immortal Lord Qingxue. He just rarely appears in public. I was fortunate enough to see him once when my master sent me to Heavenly Secrets Peak on business. Or rather, Taixuan Zhenren’s appearance is even more exceptional!”
“Wow! Really?”
Jiang Bingbing mentally echoed the disciples’ “wow,” her eyes darting toward her own master.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but the corners of her master’s raised mouth clearly drooped.
Was this—
Anger?
Jiang Bingbing shook her head.
She quickly dismissed the thought.
Her master was aloof and indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about anything. How could he care about who was more beautiful?
The group stepped off the Flying Ship.
Xie Yingnan performed a minor spell, shrinking the Flying Ship several times and storing it in his storage ring.
To outsiders, Jiang Bingbing appeared cute and obedient standing beside Immortal Lord Qingxue, but inside, she was already jumping around like a monkey. A country bumpkin who had never seen the world, she found everything in the cultivation world fascinating and novel!
“Junior Brother, you’ve arrived.”
An elder stood at the center of the Kanlie Platform. Judging by his central position, this old man was likely the sect master.
“Senior Brother.”
Immortal Lord Qingxue gave a slight nod as a greeting.
Wuya knew his junior brother had always been a man of few words. After exchanging greetings, he chatted briefly with Liu Zheng and the other two.
Finally, he lowered his head to look at Jiang Bingbing. Just as Jiang Bingbing was about to act cute for the highest-ranking person in the Sword Sect, the kind-faced sect leader chuckled and said, “I heard that a few days ago, Bingbing fell into the manure pit on Black Chicken Peak?”
“…”
You old geezer, you really know how to twist the knife.
