NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16. So Excited
At Celestial Sword Peak.
Si Wanning stared at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin gazed back innocently!
After a long while, Si Wanning sighed in exasperation, “Little Junior Sister! You’re being foolish!”
Although Yun Jin’s cultivation method was unscientific and her power growth was alarmingly fast, she had only been cultivating for three days. No matter how quickly she progressed, she was still only at the eighth level of Qi Condensation.
Meanwhile, that Senior Brother Chen was already at the peak of the tenth level of Qi Condensation, on the verge of breaking through to Foundation Establishment.
He had been delaying his breakthrough, wanting to accumulate more Foundation Establishment Pills to break through in one go.
The eighth level facing the peak of the tenth level… there was no chance of victory!
Yun Jin blinked, “Senior Sister, has Senior Brother Chen mastered any Mystic-grade secret techniques?”
Si Wanning was taken aback, then shook her head, “Forget about Qi Condensation, even Foundation Establishment disciples rarely touch Mystic-grade techniques, and that’s only for the exceptionally gifted. Usually, one needs to reach Golden Core to access such techniques. At Qi Condensation, the main competition is the abundance of spiritual power. Little Junior Sister, in this aspect, you’re definitely at a disadvantage compared to Senior Brother Chen.”
Yun Jin smiled, “It’s fine as long as he doesn’t have any.”
With two proficient-level Mystic-grade sword techniques at her disposal, even if her spiritual power couldn’t match Senior Brother Chen’s, one sword strike would be enough for a killing blow.
Si Wanning looked bewildered and couldn’t help asking, “He doesn’t, but you do?”
Yun Jin nodded solemnly, “I know a little. Second Senior Sister, could you lend me a sword for the duel?”
Si Wanning grew more exasperated, “Lending a sword is no problem. But Little Junior Sister, you don’t think you’ve mastered swordsmanship just by watching me and your Eldest Senior Brother practice for a few days, do you?”
Si Wanning’s words were meant to be humorous, but Yun Jin responded very seriously, “I feel like I’ve learned a bit.”
Seeing Yun Jin’s expression, Si Wanning was momentarily speechless!
This was Mystic-grade, Mystic-grade sword techniques!
If one could learn just by watching…
What would be the point of secret manuals?
But seeing Yun Jin’s confident demeanor, Si Wanning didn’t want to question her openly. She just thought to herself that fortunately, the stake was only a ring. If Little Junior Sister was reluctant to part with it later, she could spend some spirit stones to buy it back.
“Second Junior Sister, Little Junior Sister!” Yue Zhao entered with a grim face, “I just encountered some people at the Enforcement Hall notarizing a contract. Guess what the content was?”
Si Wanning often clashed with Yue Zhao, but seeing his grave expression, she felt a bit timid. She could only force herself to say, “Eldest Senior Brother… those people were too overbearing. Little Junior Sister signed the contract in a moment of anger.”
Yue Zhao glanced at Yun Jin.
Yun Jin coughed lightly, “Eldest Senior Brother, I actually have some confidence?”
Yue Zhao narrowed his eyes, “Contracts aside, what’s done is done. What I want to ask is, mere Qi Condensation disciples came to bully us so recklessly, and you let them leave unscathed?”
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Yue Zhao’s eyes.
He had been working so hard in the sect all these years, wasn’t it all to make life better for his junior brothers and sisters?
Now.
Little Junior Sister had just joined and was already being bullied at their doorstep!
What face did he, Yue Zhao, have left as the eldest senior brother!
Yu Songnian suddenly appeared silently in the room, whispering a few words to Yue Zhao.
Yue Zhao’s expression finally improved slightly. He said coldly, “Letting them suffer for a whole night is barely acceptable.”
He looked at Si Wanning with disappointment, “Second Junior Sister! Reflect on this! You act fearless all the time, but in the end, you let Little Junior Sister be bullied right in front of you! If not for Third Junior Brother, wouldn’t we have been bullied for nothing?”
Si Wanning responded meekly.
But in her heart, she thought.
The key is…
Little Junior Sister didn’t actually suffer any loss!
Eldest Senior Brother and the others didn’t see how Little Junior Sister’s words nearly killed those people with anger.
Ye Danxia’s face had turned green!
Yue Zhao turned to Yun Jin, instantly putting on a gentle smile, “Little Junior Sister, this duel is unfair to you! Although a contract has been made, don’t worry. I have ways to make him cancel it voluntarily.”
Yun Jin watched in amazement.
This Eldest Senior Brother… seemed quite extraordinary.
She remembered in her previous life, Master Lin Ya’s eldest disciple was known for being weak and easily bullied. His death was due to constant bullying that he couldn’t resist, eventually dying of depression.
The Eldest Senior Brother before her was completely different from those rumors of the past life.
Either.
The previous life’s rumors were baseless.
Or.
This life’s Yue Zhao was a completely different person.
Thinking back on Yue Zhao’s words and actions these past few days.
Yun Jin had a vague idea.
Could this life’s Yue Zhao be a transmigrator?
During her quick transmigrations, she had been to countless small worlds, including modernized ones. Yue Zhao’s behavior was very similar to people from those worlds.
If he truly was a transmigrator.
It would perfectly explain Yue Zhao’s drastically different personality from the previous life.
Moreover, with such an Eldest Senior Brother around, Celestial Sword Peak might not be as easy to bully as outsiders thought.
Thinking this, Yun Jin’s face broke into a sweet smile, “Eldest Senior Brother, I actively wanted to sign this contract. I believe I can win.”
Yun Jin spoke with unwavering certainty.
Yue Zhao stared at her for a while. Seeing her extremely determined expression, although he didn’t know why Yun Jin thought she could win, after some thought, he said, “If Little Junior Sister is confident, then so be it.”
“But there’s one thing I’d like to ask Senior Brothers and Sisters for help with,” Yun Jin said.
“Just say it, Little Junior Sister,” Si Wanning quickly inquired.
Yun Jin immediately put on a shy smile, “It’s like this. I’m the type who likes crowds. The more people there are, the stronger my fighting spirit. So… could you help promote this duel well? It’d be best to find more people to watch.”
This way, it would be convenient for her to show off and harvest a large amount of emotional value.
With this request.
The Celestial Sword Peak members fell silent.
How to put it…
Their Little Junior Sister’s personality…
Seemed a bit showy?
No, no, no, no.
They shouldn’t think of their pure and adorable Little Junior Sister like that.
Little Junior Sister was still a child.
Children naturally love lively atmospheres.
After a long while, Yue Zhao nodded with some difficulty, “Alright, I’ll help you promote it.”
Over the years, he had done a lot of work within Tianxing Sect. Although most of it was underground, helping promote something quietly was still quite simple.
“Thank you, Senior Brothers and Sisters,” Yun Jin flashed a sweet smile, “I’m so excited thinking about all the people coming to watch tomorrow’s duel.”
Celestial Sword Peak members: “…”
They felt something was off about their Little Junior Sister.
But surely that was just their imagination.
Right?
