Chapter 140

Volume 1_Chapter 140: Jiuyuan Told a Lie

Hearing Jiuyuan's affirmative answer, Yun Qiyue looked at Jiuyuan.

Through the moonlight, Jiuyuan's expression was fully captured by Yun Qiyue.

At this moment, Jiuyuan was very calm, and no trace of lying could be seen on his face.

Looking at the bottomless cliff again, Yun Qiyue felt uneasy.

At this time, Jiuyuan spoke, "You've been reading in the Library Pavilion for so long, did you see any lightness skill techniques?"

Yun Qiyue nodded upon hearing this.

During those days in the Library Pavilion, she had specifically looked for such books.

"When you jump down, follow what is in the technique."

Yun Qiyue was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

That's all?

Shouldn't she practice the basics first?

Seeming to see what Yun Qiyue was thinking, Ye Lanjue said coldly: "Do you really think that array was practiced in vain, and the spring water soaked in for nothing?"

As he spoke, Ye Lanjue raised his hand and grabbed Yun Qiyue's wrist.

Then, Yun Qiyue subconsciously checked the growth of her Life Value.

There was no increase.

Yun Qiyue thought, it must be because this scenario was not about flirting.

At this time, Yun Qiyue felt a heat, from her wrist, traveling all the way to her whole body, and finally landing on her dantian; suddenly, she had a feeling that her body had become lighter.

After letting go, Ye Lanjue put his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Whether you jump or not is up to you, I will only give you half a cup of tea's time."

Yun Qiyue: "..."

This—

Her hands clenched slightly, and Yun Qiyue fell into a struggle.

It wasn't that she lacked courage.

It was just that any normal modern person couldn't possibly jump off a cliff.

However, while she was hesitating, Yun Qiyue suddenly leaped up, and her whole body was suspended in the air.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

Before she could react, her whole body began a free-fall movement.

The wind whistled past, stinging her face, and because of the rapid descent, the muscles on Yun Qiyue's face even began to tremble.

As for that veil, it was long gone, blown away by the wind.

At this moment, Yun Qiyue only felt her mind go blank, her body stiffened, and she couldn't make any other reaction at all.

"Follow the internal energy mental method, are you just waiting to die by doing nothing like this?"

Just then, a cold voice came to Yun Qiyue's ear.

Yun Qiyue: "..."

She turned her head abruptly, only to see Jiuyuan beside her, arms crossed, falling along with her.

Compared to her own disheveled state, Jiuyuan was... extremely leisurely.

At this moment, he seemed to be enjoying the speed of the fall.

At this moment, Yun Qiyue's heart suddenly settled.

The fear of heights from before was nothing but floating clouds in Yun Qiyue's eyes now.

She knew that the moment Jiuyuan arrived, she had overcome her fear.

If Jiuyuan wanted her dead, he would never go to such trouble, and he certainly wouldn't have appeared by her side.

Yun Qiyue closed her eyes and began to recall what was written in the book, then tried to follow the steps of the technique: sink the Qi into the dantian...

At this moment, Yun Qiyue was incredibly focused.

However, the overly focused Yun Qiyue did not notice that Jiuyuan, who had been leisurely and calm beside her, was now full of astonishment on his face.

Ye Lanjue's night vision was not affected by the darkness, so the moment Yun Qiyue turned her head just now, he clearly saw the face she had originally covered with a veil.

Her—face had actually recovered.

After the astonishment, Ye Lanjue felt no surprise, only slightly frowning.

And at this time, Yun Qiyue was recalling and performing the movements, seeming to want to grasp the essentials, but she was always missing that final step, unable to get the hang of it.

Just then, she felt her waist being held.

Yun Qiyue was startled and opened her eyes.

Before she could react, she heard Jiuyuan say: "Recite the mental method silently, and follow me."

Calm, cold words, without emotion.

Yet, at this moment, Yun Qiyue saw the Life Value in the system increasing.

What's going on?

It was the same touch, why was there no increase just now, but there was an increase now?

"Don't get distracted, try sinking the Qi from your dantian to the soles of your feet—"

Jiuyuan's voice interrupted Yun Qiyue's chaotic thoughts, "We are now less than twenty zhang from the ground."

After saying this, Ye Lanjue let go of Yun Qiyue.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue dared not be distracted anymore and immediately followed Jiuyuan's words.

Just kidding, if she didn't do it, she would be dead.

Facts proved that the system's statement that Yun Qiyue would become a martial arts genius after taking the Body Tempering Pill was not false.

Following Jiuyuan's instructions, Yun Qiyue tried to concentrate the power of her dantian into the soles of her feet.

However, Yun Qiyue discovered that although the soles of her feet felt lighter, the power was actually still in her dantian.

At the same time, Yun Qiyue discovered that she could see the bottom of the cliff, and the bottom of the cliff was solid ground, not water.

At this moment, how could Yun Qiyue not understand?

Jiuyuan had told a lie.

The moment she fell to the bottom of the cliff, Yun Qiyue stepped on the cliff wall with the soles of her feet, used the force to leap, and then stood firmly on the ground.

She succeeded!

"Don't be happy too soon, where do you think you are?"

Just as Yun Qiyue was pleasantly surprised, Jiuyuan's voice came again.

"... Again!" Yun Qiyue gritted her teeth.

Jiuyuan was right, it was too early for her to be happy, this was just the beginning.

To practice lightness skill, one must practice it to perfection.

Even if she couldn't surpass Ye Lanjue or Jiuyuan, she must surpass others.

Lightness skill is another protective talisman when encountering strong opponents.

Looking at the determination and refusal to admit defeat in Yun Qiyue's eyes, Ye Lanjue's lips curled slightly, very satisfied.

Then, without a word, he picked up Yun Qiyue and flew all the way from the bottom of the cliff to the top.

Along the way, Yun Qiyue finally knew how powerful Jiuyuan's lightness skill was.

Otherwise, how could anyone go from the bottom of such a high cliff all the way to the top?

However, this also gave Yun Qiyue a goal and motivation.

This time, Yun Qiyue jumped off the cliff very decisively.

From the moment she jumped, she began to recite the technique silently in her heart.

Because of the success of the first jump, this time Yun Qiyue clearly had some knack for it.

However, reaching the bottom of the cliff safely was not her goal.

Therefore, in the air, Yun Qiyue tried to push her body upwards, moving against the wind.

Yun Qiyue couldn't even count how many times she performed the movement of using force to go up before she finally landed at the bottom of the cliff.

This time, it was clearly much better than the last.

"Barely passable."

Just as Yun Qiyue was feeling smug about her progress, Jiuyuan's voice sounded from the side.

Yun Qiyue: "..." Alright, that bit of smugness was all for nothing.

"Continue!" Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue.

Being brave despite setbacks was her fine character.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue's eyes, which were still full of fighting spirit, his gaze deepening slightly.

Although he said it was barely passable, Yun Qiyue's speed of progress made even him feel somewhat incredible.

Starting from the array.

If others achieved half the result with twice the effort, then she achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Putting away his thoughts, Ye Lanjue picked up Yun Qiyue and went up again.

This time, for every landing, Ye Lanjue would explain it to Yun Qiyue, and Yun Qiyue would also listen carefully; both were incredibly focused, not noticing at all how intimate their movements were...
