First Battle, Cheng Cheng vs. Qing Jun

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Qin Yi ignored Chu Jiantian; he was still bracing against the waves. Once these giant waves, which were spiraling upwards and then swirling back down, crashed down, they would inevitably trigger even stronger waves. The ship, unable to get far enough away, would still be affected.

Qin Yi was not the only one who realized this; Li Qingjun was also there, and she was escorting the ship away.

A group of people knelt on the large ship, all shouting for the gods. Li Qingjun listened to the sounds of gratitude, but her thoughts were somewhat dazed.

I don't know why I'm thinking of Qin Yi at this moment...

Was it because the Daoist priest looked somewhat similar to Qin Yi?

Li Qingjun looked back and saw that the Daoist priest was still carrying the waves, but his gaze was also on her.

How strange, her gaze is just like Qin Yi's... exactly the same as when Qin Yi looked at her. Not the admiration or fanaticism of her Senior Brother, but a gentleness, tinged with an indescribable reminiscence.

He looks so much like him...

Moreover, this thoughtful act of carrying the waves showed that he truly cared about the people on that ship and considered their needs. To be honest, Li Qingjun had never seen any other cultivator behave like this in the past three years.

As for my Senior Brother, let's not even talk about them. It's hard to expect a bunch of sword fanatics to consider others.

Even Minghe couldn't do it. Although she wasn't as indifferent as she appeared and had a kind heart, she wasn't that attentive, or rather, she lacked empathy. She might have forgotten that ordinary people couldn't even withstand the aftershocks of a wave.

The only person she could think of was Qin Yi. As long as his original intentions remained unchanged, he would still be the man who would say, "I'll do your part for you."

But if Qin Yi were to come see me, why would I need to pretend? Could it be because... he brought a woman with him?

A murderous Sha Qi inexplicably appeared in Li Qingjun's beautiful eyes.

Qin Yi felt a shiver run through his body.

The Sha Qi quickly dissipated. Li Qingjun shook her head. She was really going crazy. She couldn't just mistake someone who looked somewhat similar for Qin Yi. What if she made a mistake and got into trouble?

Well, if Qin Yi wants to see me, I'll at least make a proper appearance.

Li Qingjun turned her head away and stopped looking at him.

Qin Yi watched helplessly as Li Qingjun disappeared into the horizon with the sail before finally calming the waves down again. This was a feat of braving the power of heaven and earth. Although the waves weren't particularly ferocious, their force was still quite strong, and he was exhausted.

"Boom!" The wave crashed down, splashing up even higher waves. Qin Yi thought that the understanding and cooperative Cheng Cheng would help him withstand it, but Cheng Cheng expressionlessly put a shield around herself and watched helplessly as Qin Yi was swept into the sky by the giant wave, without even paying attention to him.

"Go look at your beauty!" Cheng Cheng shouted, angrily turning to leave.

Chu Jiantian gave a thumbs up from the side. That's more like it. He brought his dao companion along, but what's with staring at my junior sister without blinking? If you weren't my benefactor, I would have stabbed you in the butt long ago. The waves are really gratifying!

Qin Yi stumbled back, soaked to the bone, and pitifully followed Cheng Cheng, asking, "Where are you going?"

Cheng Cheng glanced at him sideways. "Go look at the boat! Don't tell me you don't want to see your beauty?"

"Are you going to check out the boat or planning to follow Li Qingjun the whole way?" Qin Yi wiped his face, on the verge of tears. If Li Qingjun discovered these two Daoist priests had been following her without cause, wouldn't she turn around and shoot him?

But he admitted that he really wanted to talk to Qing Jun... He should have known better than to wear makeup, this is really awkward.

Chu Jiantian stared blankly as the couple, who had agreed to go drinking, abandoned him without a word and chased after Li Qingjun...

"Senior! Senior!" Chu Jiantian caught up with them. "Did you go out for drinks, or did you come specifically to see my junior sister?"

"Of course I'm looking for... oh, of course I'm looking for the place where that ship went. I'm a little curious and want to see where that is."

Chu Jiantian stared at the couple expressionlessly. They had completely lost their air of superiority, and all sense of awe and reverence had vanished.

Qin Yi casually made up an excuse, but after finishing it, he became genuinely interested and asked, "Is that a merchant ship? Where is it going?"

"If you travel southeast for about three thousand miles from here, there is a large island that stretches for a thousand miles, called Tianya Island. It was named by mortals in their early years because they mistakenly thought it was the end of the sky. Later, they naturally learned that it was just a small island." Chu Jiantian explained, "There are also Rogue Cultivator there... We go there occasionally. There is some culture on the island, and many Rogue Cultivator often meet on the island as Town Market for exchange."

It seems to be a transit island for independent Rogue Cultivator in the near sea, with both mortals trading by sea and mortals living there, trading products that are not available in the Central Lands.

Qin Yi silently calculated that this place was about three or four thousand miles from the coastline of the Great Qian Dynasty, which was considered the middle. For mortals, it was already a remote sea, so the Penglai Sword Pavilion's indiscriminate bombing here wouldn't normally hit mortals. It could only be said that the seagoing ships were just lucky...

But no matter how she tries to wash it, it's still a mess. Qing Jun must be speechless at the idiots in her sect...

Add another three thousand li or so, and the entire journey from a port in the Great Qian Dynasty to Tianya Island would be about seven thousand li? It seems that mortals in this world have some skill in ocean navigation. If we put it on Earth, adding a little more, we'd almost reach Australia.

As she was pondering, she saw Li Qingjun and the merchant ship ahead again, and Li Qingjun seemed to be planning to fly back. Looking up and seeing Qin Yi and the other two flying towards her, Li Qingjun was slightly taken aback and stopped.

Chu Jiantian waved happily, "Junior Sister, Junior Sister!"

Li Qingjun completely ignored him, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Yi. She pursed her lips and waited for him to fly closer before slowly saying, "This senior is kind-hearted and has profound cultivation. I wonder..."

Cheng Cheng, holding Qin Yi's arm, immediately answered, "His name is Xie Cheng Layman, and mine is Lanyi Wanderer. We are dao companion."

Qin Yi covered his face.

Li Qingjun's gaze fell on the two's intertwined arms, and then looked at Qin Yi's face-covering expression. She felt that his expression and actions looked more and more like Qin Yi.

In this world, people who are too ashamed to show their faces usually cover their faces with their sleeves, but Qin Yi does know how to cover his face.

The movements and postures are very similar...

Unfortunately, this still doesn't confirm whether it's Qin Yi or not, mainly because the difference in aura is quite significant. At closer distance, one can sense his aura, which is different from Qin Yi's —not only much stronger, but also possessing a very faint Yao Qi, the source of which is unknown. Furthermore, there seems to be... Dragon Might? Uncertain. In any case, he's different from Qin Yi.

Regardless, Li Qingjun found this "Lanyi Wanderer" extremely displeasing. How could a Daoist Nun dress up like a vixen? Couldn't she learn from Minghe's dignified demeanor?

She finally couldn't help but say with a slight sarcasm, "I am not a member of the Imperial Household Department... I did not inquire about your relationship."

Cheng Cheng's eyes widened for a moment, but before she could speak, Qin Yi immediately interrupted, "Um... is Miss Li returning to her camp to cultivate at this time?"

Are you kidding me? We don't even know each other and we're already fighting... That's terrifying...

Li Qingjun slowly asked, "How did you know my surname is Li, senior?"

"I said it, I said it!" Chu Jiantian waved his hand from the side.

Qin Yi pointed over and said, "Yes, that's what he said."

Li Qingjun said "Oh," and then asked, "So, where is this... what senior are you taking with you?"

"Ctrip!" Cheng Cheng shouted angrily, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." Li Qingjun bowed apologetically and asked directly, "Senior, do you wish to go to Tianya Island?"

Qin Yi couldn't answer that he was going to see her, so he could only say, "Yes, I want to go to Tianya Island."

Li Qingjun calmly said, "Then I will take you there, senior."

"Huh?" Chu Jiantian was dumbfounded. What's wrong with his junior sister today? When did she become so enthusiastic towards outsiders?

How long has your Senior Brother been calling you? Why can't you see him...?

Li Qingjun turned around, secretly clenching her fist. She had to find out for sure whether this person was Qin Yi!

Cheng Cheng narrowed her eyes. This Princess was actually very clever; every word she spoke was meaningful and her purpose was extremely clear. She absolutely could not be treated like the reckless girl Ye Ling had described.

This is clearly a formidable rival! That stinky snake provided false information and tricked my master! I told you, she's a woman who was once a regent, how could she be the brainless, chestless fool that that stupid snake described?

Hmm, it seems that I don't have much of a chest. Cheng Cheng looked down at herself, and her expression improved a lot.

We must adjust our strategy; underestimating the enemy will lead to defeat!

Liusu conjured a white mist melon from the stick and silently took a bite.
