CH 3

"I heard Sister Ye led the righteous people to overthrow the demon sect this time."

"As a result of the battle, she destroyed a devil sect master, two demon masters, and more than 500 devil disciples. Surely, it was a great accomplishment."

"Sister Ye is the pride of our Saintess Sect. If only I had half of Sister Ye's strength!"

"I heard Sister Ye brought back an injured man. Do you know their relationship?"

"I don't know."

"I have never seen Sister Ye so nervous. That man should be close to her."

"No way, isn't senior sister Ye already engaged to senior brother Xiao Yichen? Why is she so close to another man?"

"Could senior brother Xiao be cuckolded?"

"Don't talk nonsense. If Senior Brother Xiao hears about it, it will be troublesome."

Just as these female disciples discussed in low voices, a human figure suddenly appeared.

"Senior brother Xiao!"

"What were you discussing just now?"

"N-nothing!"

"Senior Brother Xiao, you are here to look for Senior Sister Ye, right?"

"Yes, I heard that Qingcheng had destroyed a demon sect, so I came to congratulate her. Where is she?"

However, if Qin Lu moved away from Ye Qingcheng now, there was a high probability that he couldn't meet her again. As a result, this would significantly lower his chances of being killed.

Therefore, he decided to stay by Ye Qingcheng's side and think of a way to make her kill him.

As Qin Lu had nothing to do, he began to inspect the room.

This was a woman's room. There weren't many things in it, but a faint womanly scent filled the room.

This scent was the same as that of Ye Qingcheng's body. It smelled pleasant.

He didn't need to think much; this was Ye Qingcheng's room.

"I think you are Xiao Yichen. Senior brother Xiao is a dragon and a phoenix among men!"

"I'm Qin Lu, Ye Qingcheng's distant cousin.

"I also came to Wuchen Peak looking for my cousin, but she isn't there. Does Senior Brother Xiao know where she is?"

"A distant cousin?" Xiao Yichen froze for a moment.

Within seconds, he retrieved his killing intent, and a smile resurfaced.

"So it's cousin Qin Lu. Sorry, I misunderstood you."

"This is a small meeting gift. Accept it."

Xiao Yichen said that as he casually waved a bottle at Qin Lu.

Qin Lu reached out his hand to catch it and immediately opened it to take a look. It was a fourth-grade Qi refinement pill.

This realm-breaking pill benefitted the Golden Core realm's breakthrough into the Nascent Soul realm.

This realm-breaking pill enabled the Golden Core realm to breakthrough into the Nascent Soul realm.

Since Xiao Yichen sensed Qin Lu was in the Golden Core realm, he handed it over to him.

Sure enough, the protagonist acted generously.

"Thank you, senior brother Xiao."
