A Peak Golden Core Expert This Humble?

Lu Yang was not at all surprised by Mo Xianyun's question.

After all, he is still inside the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, and it's impossible for no one from the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect to come over.

Such a huge change in Spiritual Qi concentration could not be hidden from others.

He didn't intend to hide it.

"I did it." Lu Yang nodded with a light laugh, his tone casual.

Mo Xianyun's pupils dilated sharply.

As expected of Young Master Lu...

Although Mo Xianyun had suspected it before, hearing Lu Yang's admission with her own ears still sent shockwaves through her heart.

Within two days, the Spiritual Qi concentration of a mountain peak increased tenfold out of thin air, without even needing Spirit Vein...

She had never even heard of such a method.

She swallowed hard, carefully choosing her words, and slowly asked, "Young Master Lu, will this change of yours have any impact on the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect...?"

She asked the question with great restraint, but Lu Yang could hear the real worry in her voice.

He smiled slightly, "Don't worry, this change will not have any impact on the sect's Spirit Veins."

Mo Xianyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She was initially worried that perhaps Young Master Lu Yang had directly extracted the spiritual Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Vein.

Such an event could result in the Spirit Veins being downgraded at best, or even collapsing at worst, shaking the very foundation of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect.

Since Lu Yang said there was no problem, Mo Xianyun naturally believed him.

After all, given Lu Yang's status, there was no reason for him to lie to her.

Mo Xianyun did not press the matter further, as asking any more questions might involve Young Master Lu's secrets.

For cultivators, the more they know, the more dangerous it may be.

After that, all she needed to do was inform the Sect True Lord.

As for how True Lord should handle it, that's beyond the control of an elder in the Affairs Hall.

Mo Xianyun gathered her thoughts, turned to Jiang Shiqing, and her expression had returned to its friendly state. "Miss Shiqing, let's go."

Jiang Shiqing nodded quickly. "Okay."

The two walked out of the cave abode one after the other.

The morning light had completely broken through the clouds in the east.

The mist grew even thicker under the sunlight, churning and swirling on the mountainside as if it were being boiled by the sun.

Mo Xianyun stopped at the entrance of the cave abode, glanced at Jiang Shiqing, and considering Jiang Shiqing Qi Refining Realm cultivation, she said softly, "Miss Shiqing, shall I take you there on my sword? If we use escape techniques, the distance is still a bit far."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiqing paused for a moment, but quickly understood what Mo Xianyun meant.

She was about to nod in agreement when she suddenly remembered something.

She called softly, "Senior Shiyi."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cluster of orange-red flames suddenly ignited beside Jiang Shiqing without warning.

The flames flashed for a moment before transforming into the form of a middle-aged female cultivator.

With plain features and a deep, composed aura, he stood motionless in the morning light.

After Wang Shiyi appeared, he bowed slightly to Jiang Shiqing and said respectfully, "Young Madam."

Upon hearing Wang Shiyi's address, Jiang Shiqing's pretty face flushed red, the blush spreading from her cheeks all the way to the roots of her neck.

Her heart was bubbling with sweetness, but she was also a little nervous. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "I... I'm not the young master's wife... I'm just his personal maid... Senior Shiyi, just call me Shiqing."

Wang Shiyi paused for a moment, then spoke with his usual respectful tone, "If you wish, then Shiyi may address you as such."

As a bodyguard puppet, Wang Shiyi knew that Jiang Shiqing was Lu Yang's woman, and in her eyes, she was naturally considered the young mistress.

However, Wang Shiyi's first master was Lu Yang, and his second master was Jiang Shiqing.

As long as Jiang Shiqing's orders do not disobey the orders of the primary master, Lu Yang, she must obey them.

Jiang Shiqing nodded quickly and said, "Yes! Senior Shiyi, just call me Shiqing."

The two went back and forth discussing how to address each other, Mo Xianyun, who was standing to the side, was completely numb.

She stood frozen in place, her gaze sweeping over Wang Shiyi again and again.

This guy is a top-tier expert at the peak of the Peak Golden Core!

Moreover, even the few Peak Golden Core Elders in the sect did not give her such a strong sense of danger!

It's like a sword blade pressed two inches from your throat; though it hasn't touched you yet, the chill has already penetrated to the bone.

This Shiyi's strength is probably on a completely different level from those Peak Golden Core elders in their sect!

Such True Person is actually so respectful to this Mid-stage Qi Refining maid?!

Even the way they address each other is dictated by her??

Is this fake??

Mo Xianyun blinked hard to make sure she wasn't dreaming.

If it were Young Master Lu, she could completely understand why Shiyi was so respectful.

The problem is, Jiang Shiqing is just Lu Yang's personal maid!

Even if she was Lu Yang's woman, she was still his personal maid!

The difference between these two is huge!

Mo Xianyun's lips twitched slightly, her voice trembling slightly as she softly asked, "Miss Shiqing... and who is this?"

Jiang Shiqing quickly explained, "Elder Mo, this is Senior Wang Shiyi, he is... he is the protector that Young Master arranged for me."

Mo Xianyun: "??????"

Her mind was overflowing with questions.

What the heck??

Assigning a protector to one's personal maid?

Or is it a protector standing at the pinnacle of the Golden Core Realm?

What kind of divine treatment is this?!

For a fleeting moment, she even wished she could run back and ask Young Master Lu if he needed a personal maid.

Seeing Mo Xianyun standing there in a daze, Jiang Shiqing asked, "Elder Mo, is it alright if I ask Senior Shiyi to take me there?"

"Of course, no problem!" Mo Xianyun snapped out of her daze, forced a smile, and nodded rapidly.

Jiang Shiqing smiled at Wang Shiyi and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you Senior Shiyi."

Wang Shiyi's expression remained calm as he said earnestly, "Your orders are the meaning of my existence; there's no need to find them troublesome."

Mo Xianyun: "..."

She was internally cursing.

No way... How could a top expert at the Peak Golden Core stage be so humble?!

Is my sole purpose in existence to carry out Jiang Shiqing's orders?!

If even a big shot like that has this as their reason for existence, then what is her reason for existence?

Consuming Spiritual Qi to create garbage?!

Overwhelmed with grief, Mo Xianyun felt as if her Dao heart was about to shatter.

Jiang Shiqing was taken aback by Wang Shiyi's response and was momentarily at a loss for words.

But she felt even sweeter inside.

The fact that this senior treated her with such respect must be because of the young master.

The young master is so good to her.

Hmm... I must thank you properly, young master, after I recover!

However... I'm afraid it'll be difficult for me to keep the young master entertained by myself... I wonder if Madam would be willing to join her?

It would be acceptable for her to give the lady a push...

Cough... It's definitely not because she wanted to play!

As Jiang Shiqing thought about it, her pretty face turned bright red.

She shook her head violently, banishing all the jumbled thoughts from her mind.

"Then... let's go!"

Mo Xianyun glanced at Jiang Shiqing with some confusion.

Why are you blushing all of a sudden?

I don't quite understand.

However, she dared not underestimate this young maidservant in the Mid-stage Qi Refining even more now, and quickly put on an extremely enthusiastic smile, "Okay, Miss Shiqing, please follow me."

She made a sword gesture, and a streak of cyan sword light flew out from her sleeve, hovering steadily at her feet.

She stepped onto the sword, her robes fluttering in the morning breeze.

Wang Shiyi simply raised one hand, and a ball of orange-red flame surged from her palm, enveloping her and Jiang Shiqing together.

The flames looked scorching hot, but standing inside them felt only warm and cozy, not hot at all.

Two streaks of light streaked across the sky one after the other, flying towards the direction of the sect's Affairs Hall.

The morning light stretched their shadows into two thin lines, which quickly disappeared on the eastern horizon.

Just as two streaks of light swept across the sky, Lin Ying and Qin Nanyue walked side by side on the mountain path below.

The dew on the bluestone path had not completely evaporated, and it glistened in the morning light, making it slightly slippery underfoot.

Dewdrops from the previous night clung to the pine branches by the roadside; occasionally, one, unable to bear the weight, would roll down and shatter on the stone slab.

Qin Nanyue complained as she walked, "Yingying! You could have just gone back by yourself, why did you have to drag me along? I still need to cultivate!"

She's now seriously planning to prepare for her sparring match with Lu Yang.

Last night, while the two best friends were sharing a bed and talking late into the night by candlelight, Qin Nanyue, with a hint of probing, told Lin Ying about her plan to spar with Lu Yang.

She actually wanted to see if Lin Ying would get jealous.

If Lin Ying gets jealous, she will refuse Lu Yang's challenge, even though she will be reluctant.

But Lin Ying's reaction left her somewhat puzzled.

Lin Ying readily agreed, and even asked her to hold back and not hurt Lu Yang.

Qin Nanyue naturally had no intention of hurting Lu Yang.

She wanted to show that lecherous man like him that she and Lin Ying weren't easy to bully.

As a result, she always felt that Lin Ying was hiding something from her, because Lin Ying's eyes looked a little strange at the time.

It was the kind of look you get when you're watching a good show.

Qin Nanyue and Lin Ying have known each other for many years, and have been inseparable since the year they entered the school.

She knew exactly where every mole was on Lin Ying's body.

For this reason, she was almost certain that Yingying was hiding something from her.

Perhaps Lu Yang, that lecherous wolf, is stronger than she imagined?

That's not impossible.

After all, that guy's identity is mysterious, and the Cultivation Method he practices must be extraordinary.

However, she still has confidence in herself.

After all, she was at the Peak Qi Refinement, just one step away from Foundation Establishment.

Lu Yang had only broken through to the Mid-stage Qi Refining less than two months ago.

How could I possibly lose to him?

It just requires a little more effort.

However, just in case, she plans to hone her skills further in the next few days to see if she can improve them a bit more before the sparring match.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, Lin Ying dragged her out of bed and pulled her directly towards Lu Yang's mountain peak.

What are you doing here?

Are you watching Lin Ying and that lecherous man being all lovey-dovey?

Lin Ying smiled gently, her voice soft and gentle. "Junior Brother Lu asked me to bring you along."

Upon hearing that it was Lu Yang who said it, Qin Nanyue opened her mouth, crossed her arms, and gave a soft snort, "He said it... Oh well, I'll just give him face then."

Lin Ying: "?"

A half-smile appeared on her gentle face as she said, "My reputation isn't as important as Junior Brother Lu's? Nanyue, you're not even married yet, and your heart is already biased?"

Qin Nanyue: "!!"

Qin Nanyue's heart skipped a beat, but she forced a smile and quickly explained, "How could that be?! We're so close, of course there's no need for any formalities. That guy is of high status, I have to be careful, right?"

Lin Ying narrowed her eyes, her gaze slowly sweeping over Qin Nanyue's face. "Is that so?"

Qin Nanyue nodded vigorously, forcing herself to say, "Yes!"

Lin Ying looked at her guilty yet stubborn appearance, and a smile flashed in her eyes.

It seems Nanyue has already fallen?

That's great! Before long, I'll have another helper!

Lin Ying smiled and quickened her pace, her skirt brushing against the dew-covered grass by the roadside, making a soft rustling sound.

"Let's go!" Her voice carried a hint of lightness.

Qin Nanyue watched Lin Ying's retreating figure, she felt that her gentle and kind best friend was hiding something from her.

But she felt a little guilty and didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she quickened her pace to catch up.

"Yingying, wait for me!"
