In the Dou Qi Continent, One Talent Trait a Day

Xu Qi swore he truly had no idea anyone was down there.

He had only casually glanced down, but the enchanting sight below had left him unable to look away.

Young and hot-blooded as he was, when had he ever witnessed such a scene with his own eyes?

Just then, the woman below seemed to sense something. She suddenly looked up and saw Xu Qi.

The next moment,

"Bang!"

The woman shot into the air, Dou Qi Wings spreading behind her as she soared upward. At the same time, clothes flew out of her Storage Ring and quickly draped themselves over her body.

"Who are you?"

A longsword instantly appeared before Xu Qi.

"S-Sect Master, it's me!"

Frightened, Xu Qi hurriedly raised both hands.

Yun Yun was simply too fast. As a mighty Dou Huang, she could easily toy with him.

"Xu Qi? Why are you here?"

Recognizing the boy's face, Yun Yun looked somewhat surprised. Yet she showed no intention of lowering her sword as she coldly demanded, "This is the back mountain. No disciple is allowed to enter without permission. How did you get in?"

"I-I-I... I just wanted to find a place to practice my Dou Skills. Besides, the sect rules only said outer disciples and inner disciples weren't allowed into the back mountain. But I don't seem to belong to either the outer disciples or the inner disciples..."

Xu Qi hurriedly explained, his face full of sincerity without a single lie.

Yun Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly weighing the credibility of his words.

"Is that true?"

"Absolutely true!"

Xu Qi truly had not told a single lie.

He really had only come here to practice his Dou Skills. Who would have thought he would happen to run into Yun Yun bathing here...

Although he had just feasted his eyes, the longsword pointed at him now was equally chilling.

Yun Yun stared at him in silence for quite a while, seemingly judging whether he was telling the truth.

Then, she glanced back at the pool below, gauged the distance, and asked, "What did you see just now?"

There was a dangerous glint in her eyes when she asked that question.

Xu Qi felt that if his answer displeased her, Yun Yun would definitely not let him off.

After thinking it over and over, he finally said, "I saw... but only a little."

From a normal viewpoint, at this height, one could indeed only tell that someone was bathing below, but not see clearly.

Of course, Xu Qi had seen everything perfectly clearly.

But could he say that?

No!

But if he said he had seen nothing, Yun Yun definitely would not believe him either.

Sure enough, upon hearing his answer, Yun Yun narrowed her eyes slightly but nodded. "At least you're honest."

She had also looked just now. From the cliff, with the height difference and mist drifting over the water, it was impossible to see the situation in the pool clearly.

So she probably had not been seen completely... at least, that was what she believed.

If he had seen everything... she would castrate this guy!

"You are not allowed to come here again in the future. Understand?"

After a moment, Yun Yun finally lowered the longsword in her hand.

"I understand." Xu Qi nodded repeatedly. "Then, if there's nothing else, this disciple will take his leave."

He had only just turned to leave when Yun Yun called out to him again.

"Wait."

"Does the Sect Master have anything else?"

Yun Yun looked him up and down.

Only then did she suddenly realize that after just over a month without seeing him, this fellow had already broken through from a Three-star Dou Zhe to a Five-star Dou Shi?

That speed was far too fast!

Why did she not remember Xu Qi having such high talent?

Moreover, Nalan Yanran had recently been making a fuss about breaking off her engagement. This fellow seemed to have something to do with that as well.

"Didn't you say just now that you wanted to find a place to practice your Dou Skills? Perfect. I'll personally test you and see how much your strength has improved," Yun Yun said.
