Senior Sister Lu, You Smell So Good

Senior Sister Lu~ You Smell So Good~

The Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament had officially come to an end.

After Ji Changfeng claimed first place, Cangsong Daoist stepped forward in place of the Sect Master and delivered a whole lot of grandiose principles.

In the end, the Sect Master came out to wrap things up.

It was just like school assemblies in his previous life.

First the grade director gave a speech, then the principal spoke at the end...

"Nephew Changfeng, stay behind for now."

True Master Daoxuan said with a genial smile.

At the sight of this, the surrounding Peak Masters exchanged looks.

In truth, they wanted to stay as well.

Master Shuiyue, Su Ru, and Tian Buyi, for instance.

They had many questions they wanted to ask Ji Changfeng, but since True Master Daoxuan had already spoken and sent everyone away, they could only leave first...

Master Shuiyue looked back every few steps.

She looked at Ji Changfeng as though she wanted to say something, then stopped herself—only to seem as though she wanted to speak again.

In the end, she left anyway.

Ji Changfeng did not notice that anything was amiss with Master Shuiyue. He followed True Master Daoxuan into Yuqing Hall. At this moment...

Only the two of them remained inside Yuqing Hall.

"Nephew Changfeng, do you still remember what I promised you before?" True Master Daoxuan asked with a smile.

Ji Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Of course I remember. Sect Master Uncle said that as long as I won the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament, you would give me a gift, right?"

As for this so-called gift...

Ji Changfeng had long since made a guess.

It was probably the Six Harmonies Mirror, right?

This item had originally been the prize for the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament in the original story.

But...

This time, True Master Daoxuan had not brought it out as a prize.

Instead, he had privately promised it to Ji Changfeng.

Though the final reward was still the Six Harmonies Mirror...

The significance was different.

A prize Qingyun Sect offered to the champion of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament and a gift True Master Daoxuan privately promised Ji Changfeng were two entirely different matters...

One was a sect reward.

The other was a personal gift from the Sect Master.

How could they possibly be the same?

Of course they could not.

True Master Daoxuan smiled as he took out a mirror.

The mirror had an ancient, simple shape, with bronze filigree along its edges. A dragon was carved above and a tiger below, while the Eight Trigrams were inscribed across its surface. It was the Artifact passed down by True Master Wufangzi, the tenth patriarch of Qingyun Sect—

The Six Harmonies Mirror!

"Take it." True Master Daoxuan said with a faint smile.

Ji Changfeng respectfully reached out and accepted the Six Harmonies Mirror, then said:

"Thank you, Sect Master Uncle, for bestowing this Artifact!"

True Master Daoxuan smiled and nodded. He continued, "Nephew Changfeng, I have another task to entrust to you."

"Please give your instructions, Sect Master Uncle," Ji Changfeng said softly.

True Master Daoxuan nodded. "Recently, the Demonic Sect has been growing increasingly restless. My eldest disciple, Xiao Yicai, found an opportunity to infiltrate the Blood Refining Hall and discovered that the remnants of the Blood Refining Hall had reestablished their base at the Mount Kongsang Myriad Bat Ancient Cave..."

"I intend to have you lead the four finalists of this Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament down the mountain and head to the Mount Kongsang Myriad Bat Ancient Cave to eliminate those remnants of the Blood Refining Hall."

"Oh, and disciples from Tianyin Temple and Incense Valley will also be sent along for this training expedition..."

At this point...

True Master Daoxuan paused slightly before continuing, "Additionally, regarding the matter of Caomiao Village, I have already contacted Abbot Puhong. Nephew Changfeng, do not overthink it..."

"Qingyun Sect will stand up for you."

"Yes, Sect Master Uncle." Ji Changfeng lowered his head slightly.

In truth, Zhang Xiaofan's Dual Cultivation of Buddhist and Daoist arts was easy enough to handle. They only needed to explain the situation to True Master Daoxuan and let him know that Zhang Xiaofan was a victim; after that, there would basically be no further trouble...

As for the slaughter of Caomiao Village and Zhang Xiaofan being taught the Great Brahma Prajna, Qingyun Sect would naturally negotiate with Tianyin Temple over the matter.

Moreover, as long as Ji Changfeng remained in the Qingyun Sect for even one day, there was no way this matter could be brushed aside as something minor.

Why?

Because of Ji Changfeng's talent.

In the terms of fantasy novels, Ji Changfeng was basically the Qingyun Sect's Holy Son now. Could the slaughter of the Holy Son's entire family be considered a minor matter?!

Of course not!

Not only could it not be treated as minor, but the Qingyun Sect also had to make a grand show of seeking trouble with Tianyin Temple. Why?!

Because this was a matter of attitude.

The sect had to make its stance clear to the Holy Son: we are your strongest support, so do not fear anything!!

Only then would the Holy Son feel a sufficient sense of belonging toward the sect and contribute to it in the future.

Besides, if a sect could not even protect its own Holy Son, what use was it?!

It might as well disband early.

True Master Daoxuan gently stroked his beard and waved his hand. "Go. Return to Dazhu Peak and rest for the night first. I will notify the others and have them gather at Tongtian Peak early tomorrow morning."

"Come over tomorrow morning and take them down the mountain with you."

"Yes, Sect Leader Uncle-Master!" Ji Changfeng nodded slightly.

He turned and left Yuqing Hall.

Then, he flew his sword all the way back to Dazhu Peak.

The moment he returned to Dazhu Peak, Ji Changfeng was met with questions from Tian Buyi and Su Ru.

They knew about Mount Kongsang Myriad Bat Ancient Cave, and they also knew that the top four of the Seven Meridians Martial Arts Tournament had gone down the mountain for training...

What they really wanted to ask about was the True Art of Slaying Ghosts and Gods.

But that was easy enough to gloss over.

He merely had to follow True Master Daoxuan's lie and smooth things over.

Thus, Tian Buyi and Su Ru ultimately did not press the matter further.

"Changfeng, Xiaofan, the two of you should go back and get some proper rest. You still have to head out for training tomorrow," Su Ru said gently.

Hearing this, Ji Changfeng and Zhang Xiaofan nodded. After answering, they left Shoujing Hall and returned to their own courtyards to rest...

The next day, Tongtian Peak.

Ji Changfeng had just arrived at Yuqing Hall with Zhang Xiaofan when he discovered that Lu Xueqi had already arrived ahead of them.

"Senior Sister Lu." Ji Changfeng greeted her with a smile.

"S-Senior Sister Lu." Zhang Xiaofan hurriedly greeted her as well.

"Mm." Lu Xueqi nodded slightly.

She cast Ji Changfeng an imperceptible glance, then carried Tianya Sword over to the side... to a spot somewhat closer to him.

After the three waited for a short while, Qi Hao arrived at Tongtian Peak not long afterward.

"Go on, then..."

True Master Daoxuan stood within Yuqing Hall and waved them off.

Seeing this, the four exchanged glances.

Then, they headed down the mountain at the same time.

They passed the Sea of Clouds.

They crossed Rainbow Bridge.

The four were just about to fly on their swords, when Ji Changfeng suddenly said, "Senior Sister Lu, how about you carry me on your sword?"

Honestly, he truly did not want to ride a skateboard through the sky.

But if he used the Sword Manipulation Technique...

It would be too fast.

Lu Xueqi and the others would never be able to keep up.

So Ji Changfeng figured he might as well have someone carry him.

As for who would carry him?

Did that even need asking?!

Of course, Nai Qi!

Qi Hao and Zhang Xiaofan both looked at Lu Xueqi at the same time. They had thought this Cold Girl would refuse, but who would have expected...

Lu Xueqi silently summoned the Tianya Sword, then stepped forward a little, leaving a large space behind her.

Ji Changfeng smiled faintly.

Without hesitation, he stepped onto it.

"Whoosh—"

Feeling the presence behind her, Lu Xueqi's pretty face could not help flushing slightly. She silently controlled her sword and accelerated forward, with no intention whatsoever of waiting for Qi Hao and Zhang Xiaofan behind them...

"Senior Sister Lu, you smell so nice~"

The person behind her drew closer and closer. A soft chuckle sounded beside Lu Xueqi's ear, instantly dyeing her entire pretty face crimson.

Lu Xueqi only felt her heart pounding wildly.

Even her crystal-clear earlobes slowly took on a rosy tint.

She looked very calm.

But in truth, she was anything but calm.
