Chapter 28: Little Junior Sister Wants to Become Strong
Hearing Qin Yimeng say this, Su Yan of course wouldn’t refuse her goodwill. He immediately carried his junior sister and ran all the way back to Heavenly Water Peak.
“Silly disciple, they’re already long gone,” Immortal Qingxuan said, feeling like she was trying to forge iron from useless scrap.
She had already tied the person up and brought him here, yet her own disciple had taken the initiative to refuse him and let him leave.
“Master, you don’t understand.”
Qin Yimeng shook her head. How could her Master, a ten-thousand-year-old single dog, possibly understand what it felt like to fall in love with someone?
“As if you know so much,” Immortal Qingxuan said irritably.
If you like someone, just go for it. Feelings can be cultivated slowly. Why care so much?
“If you let him go back this time, who knows if you’ll have another chance in the future.”
Qin Yimeng fell silent. Of course, she knew that many people were eyeing Su Yan, and she was just one of them. But she didn’t regret it.
“I’ll work hard.”
Qin Yimeng clenched her fists. The failed confession had hurt her, but under the circumstances, the probability of him accepting was low to begin with.
That’s why she had to work even harder to improve herself. One day, she would express her feelings again.
…
After leaving Heavenly Bamboo Peak, Su Yan ran all the way back to his room. Only when he saw the familiar place did he let out a deep sigh of relief.
“That scared me to death.”
Su Yan patted his chest. He had thought it would be a peaceful night, but so many things had happened, and he had almost lost his virginity. It was too thrilling.
Just then, Lin Qingyue, who had been placed to the side, regained some of her strength. The effect of the weakening spell seemed to have worn off.
She looked up and said, “It’s a good thing that woman had a conscience and you’re alright, Senior Brother. But you were in there for so long. Did she take advantage of you?”
Su Yan had escaped the sea of suffering and hadn’t been violated by the lewd woman. Logically, she should be happy.
But the thought of the two of them being alone for so long made it impossible for her to be happy. She just felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Just as Su Yan was about to speak, a new mission option popped up before his eyes.
[Option 1: Tell the truth: “I did many shameful things with her. You must keep it a secret for me, Junior Sister.” (Reward for completion: High-grade magic tool, the Flowing Cloud Sword)]
[Option 2: Lie to your junior sister: “You’re overthinking it. Senior Sister Qin is a person of integrity. It was all her Master’s fault. Nothing happened between us.” (Reward for completion: Spiritual Power +2)]
Su Yan only glanced at them before choosing the second option.
He turned to Lin Qingyue and said, “Junior Sister, you’re overthinking it. Nothing happened between us.”
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Lin Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Yan was slightly taken aback. “You seem very happy?”
“Yes.”
Lin Qingyue said, “Knowing that Senior Brother didn’t suffer any misfortune, I’m so happy I don’t know what to say. The heavens have truly blessed us.”
Seeing how much she cared about him, Su Yan couldn’t help but pat her head.
Lin Qingyue’s eyes narrowed slightly. She really enjoyed the feeling of her Senior Brother stroking her hair.
Su Yan said, “So much has happened tonight. You must be tired too. Go back and get some sleep. But remember, don’t tell anyone about this.”
“Why?”
Lin Qingyue looked at Su Yan, puzzled. After encountering such a terrible thing, they should report her and make sure she was punished.
Su Yan patted his little junior sister’s head again and said, “You think I don’t want to? But Senior Aunt is powerful and influential. Even if I report it, she won’t be punished. You should be able to understand my difficulties.”
Lin Qingyue fell silent. If she reported it, the other party wouldn’t be punished, and it would only damage her Senior Brother’s reputation.
Why was it like this? Just because she was a Senior Aunt? With power, you could bully people like this!
Lin Qingyue felt very unwilling, but she still nodded forcefully, because there was nothing she could do.
“If I had power, I wouldn’t have to swallow my anger, right?”
Tears welled up in Lin Qingyue’s eyes. After encountering something like this, the one who was most unwilling was probably her Senior Brother.
He had almost been defiled by a woman. There wasn’t a man who wouldn’t be afraid.
But because the other party’s power was too great, he could only silently suppress it in his heart. Her Senior Brother was truly pitiful.
“No, I must protect Senior Brother!”
Lin Qingyue clenched her fists tightly. The young girl began to crave power.
…
After sending Lin Qingyue off, Su Yan finally had time to deal with his own affairs. He opened the system panel.
[Name: Su Yan
Sex: Male
Age: Eighteen
Physique: Pure Yang Body +1
Cultivation: Mid-Foundation Establishment
Skills: Culinary Arts (Beginner)
Techniques: Rain Calling, Nourishing Dew +1, Dragon King’s Waterspout +1]
Although most of his skills had been enhanced, their effects were still just as lame. Su Yan shook his head as he looked at them and opened the attribute panel.
[Aptitude: 80
Comprehension: 32
Spiritual Power: 53]
Each stat had improved considerably compared to the beginning, which gave him a sense of progression, but he wasn’t satisfied with it.
“I’m still too weak.”
The average stats for an ordinary cultivator were 50. His aptitude and spiritual power had reached the standard, but his comprehension was lacking, which was a major weakness.
“How can an idiot cultivate!”
Cultivation was all about comprehension. The protagonists in cultivation novels would all have moments of enlightenment, which was a very crucial skill.
Su Yan was very worried about this. How could he get stronger quickly?
Although he had wanted to get stronger for a long time, due to his laziness, he had always been in a slacker state. Tonight’s experience was a lesson.
Others couldn’t protect him all the time. If something like this happened again, would he be able to escape smoothly?
“At the very least, I need the power to protect myself.”
Su Yan calculated his combat power.
Although he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he didn’t know many techniques. It would be difficult to beat a cultivator of the same level. If he encountered a Qi Refinement genius, there was even a possibility of being overturned.
“What should I do?”
Su Yan felt very troubled.
Just then, he suddenly remembered that he still had a system reward he hadn’t claimed.
“Flying Cloud Needle?”
Su Yan looked at the treasure in his hand with curiosity. Was this the legendary spiritual weapon?
He communicated with it using his divine sense, and after a simple test of its power, he nodded in satisfaction.
“This is much more powerful than Dragon King’s Waterspout.”
With the help of a spiritual weapon, Su Yan instantly felt like he was on top of the world again. An ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator would be no match for him.
“Although the spiritual weapon is powerful, it also consumes a lot of divine sense. I must learn a few more techniques.”
Su Yan thought to himself and decided to go to the Technique Pavilion to look for some tomorrow. He wouldn’t bother with it today.
“It’s already very late. If I don’t sleep now, it’ll be dawn.”
Looking at the deep night outside the window, Su Yan yawned, washed up simply, and lay down on the bed to sleep.
…
The next day, Su Yan acted as if nothing had happened. He greeted his senior sister and then went to the Technique Pavilion to choose a cultivation method.
“I have to work hard too.”
Because of what happened last night, Su Yan finally had the desire to become stronger.
