Invincible Uncle-Grandmaster

Chapter 409: I Definitely Won’t Go Back on My Words

Divine Realm, Heavenly Palace.

In the forest, milky-white steam floated in the air. Some faint spirit qi was also mixed in with the heat.

Thump.

Suddenly, a black figure fell and instantly broke the silence, creating layers of ripples that spread out.

Then, a walnut-sized head stretched out of the water and stuck out a tongue, revealing an extremely cute expression.

“Ah, so comfortable.”

Yun Xi stretched lazily and said happily.

In the distance, Qin Jue sat by the water, rather speechless.

This was already the third day since they had moved to the Heavenly Palace. Of course, at the moment, there were only Qin Jue, Yun Xi, and a few others. As for the other members of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect, besides Bai Ye and the other higher-ups, they were still being screened.

Although Qin Jue had decided to move to the Heavenly Palace, Bai Ye didn’t want to leave the original place of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect like this, so Qin Jue built a spatial passageway between the two that allowed them to travel freely. Moreover, all the disciples of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect had to pass through layers of tests to be qualified to come into contact with the Heavenly Palace.

After all, this fact was too shocking. Moreover, if they didn’t filter it out, what if the disciples they nurtured all defected after becoming stronger? Wouldn’t all their efforts be in vain?

“Eh? Master, you’re here too?”

Yun Xi looked up, her face full of surprise, as if she had just noticed Qin Jue.

Before he could finish his sentence, there was another light sound, raising a splash. This time, it was actually Su Yan.

After cultivating again, Su Yan had clearly become much gentler, giving off the feeling of a big sister next door.

At this moment, Su Yan stood up from the water. Even though she was wearing undergarments, one could still see her curvaceous figure. Her skin was as white as jade, as if it could be broken with a single blow. She was incomparably alluring.

“Ah, Senior!”

Seeing Qin Jue, Su Yan was stunned for a moment before screaming.

Qin Jue :”…”

“Sorry, I… I didn’t mean to disturb you.”

Su Yan hurriedly apologized, her charming face flushed red. If she weren’t worried that Qin Jue would be angry, she would have turned around and run away long ago.

“It’s okay.”

Qin Jue smiled bitterly. “There’s no need to be so afraid. I won’t eat you.”

“Yes.”

Even so, Su Yan was still exceptionally careful.

This “lowly” attitude made Qin Jue really not know what to say. In his impression, although Su Yan used to be very respectful to him, she absolutely wasn’t so careful. Could it be because she had lost her cultivation?

However, what Qin Jue didn’t know was that Su Yan was actually not “humble” but shy.

Su Yan had never thought that she would one day be in the same hot spring as Qin Jue. Although her goal was to cultivate, how could she still have the mood to cultivate now? She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

After soaking in the hot spring for another hour, Qin Jue stood up and put on his clothes. “I still have something to do. I’ll leave first.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly disappeared into the forest.

“Sister Su Yan, Sister Su Yan.”

Seeing that Su Yan was motionless for a long time, Yun Xi stepped forward and shook her.

“Ah, what’s wrong?”

Su Yan suddenly regained her senses.

“What are you thinking about, Sister Su Yan?”

Yun Xi was curious.

“No… nothing.”

Su Yan shook her head repeatedly and changed the topic. “Where’s Senior?”

Yun Xi had a rather strange expression when she heard this. “Master has already left. Didn’t you hear?”

“Hu.”

Su Yan heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest to comfort herself. “I can finally cultivate now.”

The reason why Su Yan came to the hot spring was to cultivate.

One should not underestimate these hot springs. They were condensed from ten thousand years of spirit qi. Whether it was a Yellow Stage cultivator or a Great Void Stage cultivator, they could both cultivate inside without any side effects.

To the current Su Yan, it was simply not inferior to a sacred cultivation ground.

“Wait, Sister Su Yan, I have something to ask you.”

Yun Xi interrupted Su Yan with a wave of her hand.

“What is it?”

Su Yan was indifferent.

“Do you like my master?” Yun Xi asked in a low voice.

Buzz!

In the next moment, Yun Xi saw a strand of white smoke shoot out from Su Yan’s head, and it was almost comparable to the steam in the hot spring.

“I… I don’t.”

Su Yan looked panicked and said incoherently, “I don’t.”

As if feeling that she was not firm enough, she repeated, “I don’t!”

“…”

Even if Yun Xi didn’t have any experience in this aspect, she could still tell that Su Yan was clearly lying.

“Hehe, don’t worry, Sister Su Yan. I won’t tell Master.”

“Really?”

Su Yan was overjoyed, but she quickly realized that something was wrong.

“I was right.” Yun Xi said slyly.

“…”

“If you dare to tell Senior, I’ll never cook for you again!”

Taking a deep breath, Su Yan threatened.

In fact, Su Yan was also very conflicted in her heart. She wanted Qin Jue to know, but she was also worried that Qin Jue would be disappointed when he found out, so she simply chose to avoid it like this.

“Hmph, who does Sister Su Yan think I am? Since I promised Sister Su Yan, I will definitely not go back on my word!”

Yun Xi immediately vowed when she heard Su Yan’s threat.

“Hahaha, I believe you.”

Su Yan rubbed Yun Xi’s head and smiled.

…

At night, the stars were dazzling and hung on the horizon like silk, causing others to be unable to help but yearn for it.

Moonlight shone down, covering the courtyard like a thin veil.

Qin Jue sat on the blue stone and drank spirit wine alone, thinking about something.

That’s right, Qin Jue had moved the blue stone over.

Hu.

A breeze blew past and Yun Xi landed on Qin Jue’s shoulder.

“Master.”

“Hmm?”

“I have something to tell you.”

Yun Xi acted mysterious.

“What is it?”

“First, a pot of spirit wine.”

Yun Xi stretched out her hand.

Qin Jue :”…”

How dare this disciple bargain with her master.

Qin Jue couldn’t be bothered to say anything, so he took out a pot of spirit wine and handed it to Yun Xi.

“Thank you, Master.”

Yun Xi opened the spirit wine and praised, “Smells good.”

“Speak, what is it?”

Qin Jue rolled his eyes.

Yun Xi first took a sip of spirit wine, then looked around. After confirming that there was no one nearby, she lowered her voice and said, “Sister Su Yan likes you!”

Qin Jue was stunned. “Are you sure?”

“Of course!” Yun Xi patted her chest and said firmly, “I heard it with my own ears from Sister Su Yan!”

“But… Master, you must not tell anyone that I told you.”

“Why?”

Qin Jue was stunned.

“Aiya, just don’t.”

Yun Xi hugged Qin Jue and acted coquettishly.

“Fine.”

Qin Jue nodded in agreement.

The next morning.

The dawn expelled the darkness and descended on the ground.

Su Yan woke up as usual. She tidied up herself in front of the bronze mirror and pushed open the door.

Because she had yet to step into the Earth Stage, Su Yan had to eat and sleep like an ordinary person every day to maintain her bodily functions.

Just as Su Yan was about to continue cultivating in the hot spring pool, Qin Jue suddenly walked over.

“Se—Senior.”

In an instant, Su Yan blushed and hurriedly lowered her head.

“Good morning.”

Qin Jue greeted.

“Good morning.”

Su Yan was very nervous, not understanding why Qin Jue would come to her at this time.

“Yun Xi told me everything.” Qin Jue said indifferently.

Su Yan: “???”
