Don't worry, Teacher. I will certainly not slack off on my cultivation. I'm just going to other places to experience the world and deepen my comprehension of cultivation.
I surely can't just stay cooped up in the Wind and Lightning Pavilion forever without going out, especially since that "big shot" known as the Pill King exists over there.
Qin Yun smiled slightly, but his inner thoughts were a completely different scene. He definitely couldn't tell him that this was to prevent him from being treated like a stray dog by Xiao Yan in the future and instantly swatted to death.
Mm, what you say makes sense. Then I'll give you about three months. Thunder Venerable lightly tapped the tabletop in front of him with his rough fingers, evidently persuaded by this reason.
However, for the sake of safety, I'll have the Northern Pavilion Master, Fei Tian, go along with you. That fellow has nothing to do all day anyway, so it's just the right time to find him something to do.
Under normal circumstances he will only protect you in secret and won't show his face often. He will only step in to help you when you face an enemy you cannot resolve.
Thunder Venerable wasn't the kind of brainless, muscle-bound idiot either. In his view, the Northern Pavilion Master, Fei Tian, was already a Five-Star Dou Zong, which was more than enough to protect Qin Yun, to say nothing of going to a mere remote place.
Many thanks, Teacher. Qin Yun was extremely satisfied with his teacher's arrangement. After expressing his thanks, he went off to pack his things.
They would set off early tomorrow morning. The journey to the Jia Ma Empire was by no means short, and a single trip would take at least ten-odd days.
After getting his application approved by his teacher, Qin Ming was in a pretty good mood at the moment, yet he had not gone far before a graceful figure blocked his path.
"Hey, are you going to leave for a period of time coming up?" Feng Qing'er asked coldly with her arms crossed. Her tone was icy, as if she weren't asking a question, but rather carrying out an interrogation.
"Yes, I'll be going out for a few months, but this doesn't seem to have much to do with you, does it?" Qin Yun answered with equal indifference.
In his view, this girl was pretty enough, but she was an absolute masochist. Every time she came looking for him, nothing good ever came of it.
"Hmph, how does it not? Who am I supposed to challenge after you leave? Don't tell me you were thinking of freeloading off me as your mount for another three months?"
Feng Qing'er let out a cold huff, her tone filled with dissatisfaction. In her opinion, until she defeated Qin Yun, he wasn't allowed to go anywhere.
"So what do you mean? Still want to fight?" Qin Yun was getting somewhat annoyed at this point, and the aura of the Threefold Reversal also slowly began to erupt around him.
"I, Feng Qing'er, mean what I say. A loss is a loss, and I won't back out of it, but this time no matter where you go, I'm going with you, until I defeat you."
Feng Qing'er's expression looked somewhat unpleasant. Although the other party had never pushed her too hard, in name she was still the other party's mount.
"What on earth? You're coming too?!" Qin Yun was slightly stunned before feeling a headache coming on. Are you kidding me?
If he let Stubborn Sis and Lucky Bro meet right now, would they really not start fighting?
In the unlikely event that some sparks really did fly between the two of them, let alone the Wind and Lightning Pavilion becoming a speed bump, the entire Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would be treated as super-grade fodder.
"No, I disagree. You need to stay right here and behave yourself."
Qin Yun directly refused. Are you kidding? If you go, you'll definitely just be a hindrance; it'll be a miracle if you two don't start a war.
"You... so annoying!!" Feng Qing'er took a deep breath, looking as though she had made some huge compromise, and gritted her teeth.
"Fine. Although I'm going with you, I'll listen to you. Things you tell me not to do, I absolutely won't do. Is that acceptable?"
Faced with the other party backing down, Qin Yun was also slightly taken aback, seeing as this girl was usually extremely arrogant.
Feng Qing'er as a person, despite being stubborn, tsundere, and hot-tempered, had one good trait: she honored her debts and never welled on them.
She had served as his "nominal mount" for a year, and he had never actually made her do a mount's work.
Yet on ordinary days when he occasionally asked her to run an errand or hand him something, she would curse up a storm while doing it anyway.
More importantly, judging by the current situation, it was impossible for these two never to meet.
With him around her side right now, he could still suppress her, but if they were ever left to meet alone by accident in the future, it would be thoroughly GG.
With her level of stubbornness, she would definitely waste all his previous efforts and even implicate the entire clan behind him.
"All right, but you must remember what you said. Without my permission, you are not allowed to do any extra things."
Qin Yun ultimately agreed, though he couldn't help speaking up to remind her once more.
"Understood. I always mean what I say." Feng Qing'er still maintained her arrogant appearance, but judged by her present attitude, she could be considered to have grudgingly nodded.
After a night of packing, once all supplies were ready on the second day, Qin Yun and Feng Qing'er embarked on the journey to the Jia Ma Empire.
This departure currently involved only three people. Although Fei Tian followed them the entire way, he was solely responsible for security and ignored everything else.
"Hey, how are we getting there? Could it be that we're just going to fly straight across like this? At our speed, I'm afraid just a round trip would take three months." Feng Qing'er asked out of curiosity.
After all, when she traveled long distances within the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, she was generally escorted by elders at the Dou Sheng level.
To a Dou Sheng Expert, spatial distortion allowed them to reach any corner of the Continent within a few days.
"Of course we're going to find a Space Wormhole. We'll have to transfer a few stations in the middle, and coupled with the scattered traveling, if we're fast it'll be ten days."
Qin Yun had made preparations long before coming out, spending several hours just studying the route.
Moreover, he had specially borrowed an exclusive Space Shuttle from his teacher. This kind of craft was specifically designed for traveling through the void, and its speed was much faster than flying.
"That's more like it. Thought pretty thoroughly, haven't you?" Feng Qing'er nodded in rare agreement.
To tell the truth, last night she had still been wondering if the guy was going to treat her as a mount and ride her all the way there. Of course, if he actually dared to do that, she would definitely self-detonate on the spot.
The journey went quite smoothly, with no blind factions coming over to cause trouble. Besides, Qin Yun wasn't someone who liked stirring up trouble; he was usually courteous to people and affairs alike, and all the procedures were handled very quickly.
"Hey, I remember your Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan seems to have a Supreme Elder named Fenghuang. Is she a relative of yours?"
Qin Yun figured he would have to spend the next period of time getting along with this arrogant sister, so he wanted to probe and see if he could extract some useful intelligence.
To be honest, the original text gave very little background introduction for Feng Qing'er. Clearly her talent was top-tier throughout the entire clan,
yet she ended up taking a Dou Zun as a teacher. It was hard not to imagine whether she had offended someone within the clan and been exiled to the outside world.
