Chapter 74: Senior Sister Shen Jing

ce: "Isn't the auction today"The guard coughed lightly and explained, "The auction is indeed taking place today... To let you know, Master has decreed that guests attending the auction must undergo a...Who is it! Come out!

On the bank of a mountain stream, a man and a woman faced each other across the chasm.

The man's attire resembled that of a wandering swordsman, complete with a wide-brimmed hat. Yet, the sword in his hand was clearly a magical artifact, imbued with a brilliant azure hue that rippled like tranquil waters.

The woman was beautiful, with a graceful figure. She held a small copper mirror in her hand and looked warily at the opposite bank, appearing somewhat pitiable.

Both of them almost simultaneously looked up, their gazes fixed on the same spot upstream. The woman exclaimed in surprise.

Along the bank of a mountain stream, rustling in the grass, Qin Sang emerged after a moment. There wasn't a hint of embarrassment on his face from being watched, as he calmly nodded towards the woman.

This woman was actually a fellow disciple of the Gui Yin Sect, named Shen Jing, a senior sister. Like Qin Sang, she was at the sixth level of Qi Refining. Although the two had never spoken, they had met once when Yue Shishu was giving a lecture.

However, Qin Sang's appearance was not because of Shen Jing's identity.

Qin Sang was actually quite helpless. Luoyun Wings were indeed a top-grade magic weapon, but they consumed a lot of spiritual power and couldn't be maintained indefinitely. Otherwise, with his cultivation level, he absolutely couldn't support it for long.

He was cautious enough, stopping at every stretch of distance to look out from a mountain peak before using the Cloud Escape Technique to rush on his way. He never expected that there would be two people hiding in this unassuming mountain ravine.

On both sides of the mountain stream, ancient trees reached for the sky, completely blocking out the inside. After Qin Sang discovered them, he was both surprised and delighted, and immediately wanted to activate his Luoyun Wings to hide, naturally intending to take advantage of the situation.

It was too late, unfortunately. Shen Jing and the other were about to face a life-or-death battle. Their minds were incredibly tense. They couldn't miss any sound or movement around them. The Yun Dun technique was just an ordinary escape technique, still rather shallow. It was fine when they were far away, but at such close proximity, it could be easily seen through.

Qin Sang openly walked out, no longer trying to hide.

To her surprise, it was Qin Sang. Shen Jing's eyes lit up, the caution on her face instantly turning into surprise as she exclaimed, "Qin Shixiong!"

"Senior Sister Shen."

Qin Sang responded with a sound, then stared at the man in the hat on the opposite bank of the stream.

Yue Wu didn't deliberately restrict their words and deeds, so the Yuanzhao Sect should be unable to monitor the gossip forbidden area.

Hearing the address between Qin Sang and Shen Jing, the man in the hat's originally gloomy face became even gloomier, his hand gripping the sword tighter, his eyes flickering uncertainly as if watching which direction to escape.

"Qin, little brother, this is great! We actually ended up in the same area." Shen Jing was filled with surprise and excitement, her eyes sparkling like water, making her even more alluring.

"Senior Sister Shen, let's deal with the immediate problem first and catch up later."

Before his words even left his mouth, Qin Sang vanished like a wisp of smoke and blocked the hooded man's path.

> If it were him, he would probably run away first in this situation.

The jade pendant right in front of us, there's no reason to leave it behind. As for how to distribute it, we can talk about that once we have it in our hands.

Shen Jing only then suddenly understood, and exclaimed, "Right, right, right... luckily Junior Brother Qin came. Otherwise, Senior Sister would have been in grave danger this time. Junior Brother Qin, be careful, this person's swordsmanship is very strange."

Saying that, Shen Jing raised the copper mirror in her hand and pointed it at the man with the hat.

At this time, the man in the straw hat suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice: “I’ll give you the jade pendant. Can you let me go”

Qin Sang did not answer. If this person was sensible, they might be able to negotiate. But as soon as Qin Sang appeared, Shen Jing cried out like an idiot, exposing the relationship between the two of them. Under no circumstances could this person be let go.

Shen Jing glared at the man under the straw hat, obviously unwilling to agree.

The man with the hat said coldly, “But I wonder how you two plan to divide this jade pendant in my hand”

"I don't want it!"

Before Qin Sang could speak, Shen Jing suddenly shouted, "Brother Qin, if it weren't for you, I would have lost my life today. Take everything, I don't want anything."

This answer also greatly surprised Qin Sang, who glanced at Shen Jing with a strange look in his eyes, wondering if he had overthought things before. After all, among cultivators, there were those like Han Xian Shi who were grateful and kept their promises, as well as those like the Tan brothers who hated evil.

Shen Jing willingly gave up the spoils of war, and Qin Sang naturally had no objection.

Two people worked together against one, and with little effort, the man in the straw hat was severely injured by Qin Sang's Gui Shui Yin Lei curse and beheaded with a single strike.

Even Qin Sang didn't even use Zi Hun Ling.

Qin Sang used the tip of his blade to lift the mustard seed pouch and long sword from the man under the hat. He looked up at Shen Jing, admiringly saying, "Senior Sister Shen, your magic mirror is truly extraordinary."

When they first clashed, the man in the hat didn't know Qin Sang's abilities. When he attempted to break out, he chose Shen Jing but was firmly restrained by her bronze mirror.

Every time the man in the hat thrust his sword, Shen Jing's bronze mirror would flash a golden ring, stopping it dead. This allowed Qin Sang to calmly prepare his incantations. By the time the man in the hat realized and attacked Qin Sang back, it was too late.

Qin Sang remembered that this bronze mirror was the reward Shen Jing got from the headmaster's cave. As expected of a top-grade magic artifact.

"Qin's younger brother flattered him."

A hint of shyness flashed across Shen Jing's eyes.

As if the earlier fight with the man in the straw hat had taken too much out of her, Shen Jing's breath was a little ragged. Her cheeks were flushed, and sweat from her forehead had dampened her bangs. She curved a finger like spring onion jade and lifted it to her lips, her danli slightly parted, she softly said: "If it weren't for Junior Brother Qin's help, even if this mirror was stronger, he would have eventually worn me down. Junior Brother's Gui Shui Yin Lei Curse is more formidable after all."

As she spoke, Shen Jing naturally walked towards Qin Sang.

"Hold on, Senior Sister Shen!"

Qin Sang's figure suddenly retreated, pulling a distance away before faintly saying, "It's best we keep some distance between us."

Shen Jing was utterly astonished, her face etched with sorrow as she pleaded, "Qin shidi, what do you mean I haven't taken anything that belongs to him. Surely my actions show enough sincerity Why don't you trust me"

Qin Sang bowed, "It's not that I don't believe in Senior Sister Shen, it's just that the Ascension Conference is too cruel. I was forced to do this. Please forgive me, Senior Sister."

"Qin Shidi, you mean... you don't plan to team up with me"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Shen Jing was incredulous, "You've forgotten Yue Shishu's orders Don't you fear punishment from the sect"

Qin Sang smiled faintly, "As long as I can enter Yuànzhào Gate and complete the sect's mission, how could Uncle Shi punish me for this trivial matter."

“Qin Shidi’s words also make sense.”

Shen Jing fell silent, still unwilling to accept it. She muttered in a mournful tone: "But... Junior Brother Qin, don't you realize how difficult it is to seize a jade token I've been here for so long and I've only managed to grab one. I've spent all the talismans I accumulated during my time as a lone cultivator. If not for the Mirror of Treasures still in hand, Junior Brother, what you'd see now would be my corpse. There are five of our fellow sect members who have broken through to the seventh layer of Qi Refining Stage, and there are also seventh-layer masters among those loose cultivators. With just the two of us, how could we possibly compete with them" Immortal Platform.”The Cloud Traveler sighed, "Forget it, this is the old Dao's destiny, no fate with the Three Lights Jade Liquid. Qin younger brother, you can collect some ancient books taken out o...
