Chapter 6: Cangjian Peak Senior Sister
Shen Kaiyang was truly caught off guard.
The healer wiped his face, still in a daze, and stared at Lin Qinghe.
“I swear, this has nothing to do with me. Do you believe me?”
Lin Qinghe also wiped the red and white substance off his own face.
His expression was a mix of discomfort and uncertainty.
“Really, you had nothing to do with it?”
The healer grinned ruefully.
“I sincerely had nothing to do with it! I just took a look and boom—he exploded! I’m starting to suspect you set me up for a scam!”
Lin Qinghe was speechless.
“Am I supposed to risk my cousin’s life just to scam you? Are you overly confident or am I the crazy one here?”
The two shared a moment of silence, exchanging glances that conveyed confusion.
After an indeterminate amount of time…
The healer tentatively asked, “So what do we do now?”
Lin Qinghe rubbed his temples, “This is complicated. My cousin may not be cherished at home, but if he dies, my uncle will definitely investigate this!”
“Let me think!”
And then…
They fell into a drawn-out silence.
Shen Kaiyang’s headless body lay quietly nearby.
……
……
When Liu Shunyi arrived at the artifact refining room,
the supervisor was already waiting.
Several other servant disciples were also there.
The Qinglian Sect was vast.
There were plenty of servant quarters.
So, Liu Shunyi didn’t know these other servant disciples.
The supervisor greeted Liu Shunyi with a smile.
“You’re here! But hold on, the ore hasn’t arrived yet!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
The supervisor didn’t ask why Liu Shunyi was late.
That spared Liu Shunyi from explaining.
As the ore had not yet arrived,
Liu Shunyi and the other servant disciples sat aside to rest.
Not knowing each other, they didn’t engage in conversation.
However, instead of the ore, they ended up waiting for a celestial being.
And that celestial being was someone Liu Shunyi recognized.
It was the stunning beauty who had just saved him earlier.
Spotting her, the supervisor and other servant disciples rushed to greet her.
“Greetings, Senior Sister Ji!”
Everyone saluted.
Liu Shunyi scrambled to join the salute, feeling a bit awkward.
He was unfamiliar, so his bow was a bit hasty and came out mute.
This prompted a curious glance from the so-called Senior Sister Ji.
The other servant disciples turned to Liu Shunyi.
Senior Sister Ji’s icy gaze fixed on Liu Shunyi.
“What’s your name?”
Liu Shunyi quickly lowered his head to respond.
“Disciple Liu Shunyi, greetings, Senior Sister!”
Senior Sister Ji nodded.
“You survived a punch from a Qi Refinement Seventh Stage cultivator without injury!”
At this, the other servant disciples were stunned, staring in shock at Liu Shunyi.
Inside, Liu Shunyi thought, oh no, this is bad!
But he quickly clarified.
“Previously, Zhang Erhu asked me to buy a healing pill for him. When I hadn’t delivered it yet, he took it out on me! After the hit, I hurriedly swallowed that healing pill!”
Senior Sister Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
She turned and walked into the artifact refining room.
Liu Shunyi let out a breath of relief.
But he felt like his story had some gaps.
If he thought about it closely, there were still plenty of questions.
For example,
how could he, currently a Qi Refinement Second Stage cultivator, possibly survive an attack from a Qi Refinement Seventh Stage cultivator?
No, from now on, he must not let anyone witness his odd survival!
Anyone who saw it needed to die!
Liu Shunyi made a firm decision in his mind.
But ultimately, it came down to his low cultivation level.
That thought left him feeling a bit melancholic.
Ah, being broke.
Liu Shunyi felt frustrated.
Before crossing over, he was a miser; now, it’s like he’s even poorer.
“But there’s no rush—I’ve got my cheat! As long as I work hard and move those bricks, one day I’ll be able to buy techniques and spells!”
With that thought, Liu Shunyi took a deep breath.
Time to hustle!
At that moment, the supervisor looked at Liu Shunyi with slight skepticism.
“Do you know the Senior Sister of Cangjian Peak?”
Saying this, the supervisor glanced in the direction where Senior Sister Ji had left.
Liu Shunyi followed suit and recounted the events that had unfolded that morning.
After hearing it, the supervisor exclaimed in anger,
“That kind of person really deserves death! But you, kid, are lucky. You just happened to run into Senior Sister Ji on patrol; otherwise, you would’ve ended up dead or at least skinned alive!”
Liu Shunyi nodded.
The two chatted for quite a while.
Finally, the mine carts from Qinglian Mine arrived.
The other servant disciples sprang into action.
Liu Shunyi got up to work as well.
However, this time Liu Shunyi didn’t try to stand out too much.
Senior Sister Ji’s warning had given him pause.
So, he just did what everyone else did, working when they worked and resting when they rested.
Whenever they drank water, he’d drink too—
everything looked perfectly normal.
Of course, Liu Shunyi couldn’t hide his capabilities indefinitely.
At the minimum, he still needed to work hard.
Thus, when it came time for labor, aside from a hulking figure towering at 1.9 meters, he was clearly the second most competent worker.

The artifact refining room supervisor was quite satisfied with Liu Shunyi.
But maybe it was because every time they passed by the artifact refining room, they would see Senior Sister Ji.
The other servant disciples also worked exceptionally hard.
Mainly because Senior Sister Ji was watching them.
That made them even more excited to show off.
Some even went shirtless to work,
clearly trying to impress.
Only Liu Shunyi made himself scarce.
He didn’t want to have any association with Cangjian Peak’s Senior Sister.
But, also—was it just a hunch?
Liu Shunyi noticed that Senior Sister Ji seemed to keep an eye on him.
He mentally reminded himself over and over.
“Don’t overthink it, don’t be full of yourself. She’s an inner sect disciple, and you’re just a servant disciple. What could she possibly want with you?”
At the same time, Liu Shunyi prayed,
“Please don’t pay attention to me, don’t pay attention to me, don’t pay attention to me!”
Then he earnestly went back to work.
Luckily, those oblivious servant disciples, after a flurry of productivity, completed what would’ve normally taken a full day in half the time.
But Liu Shunyi couldn’t tolerate Senior Sister Ji’s staring any longer.
He hurried to settle his tally with the supervisor.
“You did pretty well.”
The supervisor credited Liu Shunyi’s token with a whopping one hundred and thirty points.
Liu Shunyi accepted without hesitation.
At the same time he said, “Senior Brother, in the future, if there are any menial tasks, feel free to call on me! I’ll do anything as long as I can score points!”
The supervisor nodded, “Sure!”
Gaining what he wanted, Liu Shunyi turned to leave.
Without a moment’s pause.
But what he didn’t know was,
after he left, Senior Sister Ji approached the supervisor and calmly ordered,
“Make sure he delivers swords to me tomorrow!”
The supervisor was taken aback for a moment, then quickly bowed.
“Understood, Senior Sister!”
Senior Sister Ji nodded, then leapt onto her flying sword and soared into the sky.
