Chapter 116: Ruo Lan and Zhong Lingqing Come to Blows

"The flying ship transporting people usually has one person protecting it, at most two, whose cultivation should be around the Spirit Transformation Stage. If these two people step in to block you, kill them. As a reputable sect, the Baiyun Sect surely won't just sit by and watch."

Jiang Xun looked at the two and said.

"At that moment, the people from the Baiyun Sect will definitely step out to help, and you can just finish them off, feign injury, and leave as if you were no match for the others."

"Remember to suppress your cultivation. You just exerted the pressure of a Void Refining Great Perfection on them; if an accident happens and they manage to run away, the Lingerie-Sect will become their primary target."

Jiang Xun looked at Zhong Lingqing and said.

"Rest assured, I know that much."

Zhong Lingqing nodded and said.

"You must hide your identities. It's best to dress as men, take off the sachets you are wearing, and then work up a sweat—don't bathe."

"I think... dressing as people from the Tianwu Sect would be just right."

Jiang Xun looked at the two and smiled.

"Dress as people from the Tianwu Sect?" Zhong Lingqing was stunned: "Wouldn't that make it look like the Lingerie-Sect notified the Tianwu Sect to come and make arrests?"

"Yes, wouldn't that be too obvious?" Yin Ningyu also said with concern.

"The other side will have the same thought as you, so even if they suspect us, there's nothing they can do." Jiang Xun smiled.

"Then, it's settled." Zhong Lingqing thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I'll have someone get you Tianwu Sect disciple robes; there should be a few sets left over from before." Jiang Xun nodded, then took out a Transmission Talisman to message Gu Qing, asking her to find two suitable sets of Tianwu Sect disciple robes.

Jiang Xun wouldn't go along to add to the chaos; after all, with his current appearance, he would be too conspicuous no matter how he dressed.

"So, shall we go work up a sweat now?" After sending the message, Jiang Xun looked at Yin Ningyu with a lecherous grin.

Seeing this expression, Yin Ningyu immediately thought of what Jiang Xun wanted to do.

Her face turned red instantly.

"Let's go." Zhong Lingqing didn't notice the two's little interaction and said to Yin Ningyu.

"Master... I..." Yin Ningyu looked at Zhong Lingqing with a flushed face.

Before she could say anything else, Jiang Xun scooped her up and walked straight into the room.

"Hey!" Zhong Lingqing widened her eyes at the sight: "Are you not even going to be discreet?... Then what am I supposed to do?"

"Do you want to join us?" Jiang Xun looked back at Zhong Lingqing and smiled.

"Ah..." Yin Ningyu hurriedly reached out to cover Jiang Xun's mouth.

She was already shy enough; how could he say such things?

"Go to hell!" Zhong Lingqing also glared fiercely at Jiang Xun, then ran away as if fleeing.

Jiang Xun, however, carried Yin Ningyu into the room with a grin.

Lin Qingwan had been standing in the courtyard waiting for Jiang Xun to return, and seeing this scene, she tactfully did not go in.

Before long, sounds that made Lin Qingwan's heart race and face flush came from inside the room.

If it weren't for the chasm between Sect Master and disciple that existed with Yin Ningyu, and the fact that Lin Qingwan always felt her status was worlds apart from Yin Ningyu's, she would have been dying to join in right then.

"How should I work up a sweat..."

Zhong Lingqing flew in the sky, her face full of worry.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through her mind—a flash of inspiration!

"I'll go have a fight with Ruo Lan!"

No sooner said than done, Zhong Lingqing immediately went to find Tu Qing to inquire about Ruo Lan's whereabouts.

About the time it takes to brew a cup of tea later, Gu Qing arrived at Jiang Xun's small house with two sets of Tianwu Sect disciple robes, and before she even landed, she heard the whimpering inside.

"Master is really something; is he not even setting up a Soundproof Barrier now?"

Hearing the sounds, Gu Qing had no choice but to sit helplessly on a recliner in the courtyard to wait.

"Master, have some tea." Lin Qingwan quickly poured tea for Gu Qing.

"You still remember I'm your master?" Gu Qing glanced at Lin Qingwan.

"... I do." Lin Qingwan nodded.

"I personally planted you, a little spy, by Master's side. It's fortunate that Master didn't blame me; otherwise, let alone you being tossed about for eight hours, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to escape either."

Gu Qing snorted coldly.

"Ah... Master, how did you know..."

Lin Qingwan was very surprised to hear that even Gu Qing knew about her eight-hour record.

"The day you were dragged back, of course I had to follow along. You were in the room with Grandmaster, and I was crouching on the roof. It's a good thing Master didn't call for me."

Gu Qing felt a lingering fear just thinking about it.

Fortunately, after Jiang Xun finished dealing with Lin Qingwan, Zhang Yuan ran off, Ruo Lan came out of seclusion, and the Tianwu Sect had an incident; Jiang Xun was so busy he was dizzy and couldn't spare any attention for her.

"Sorry..." Lin Qingwan also touched her head in embarrassment.

"Each serves their own master. Since you made a Dao Oath, you couldn't control yourself anyway. Let this matter pass; don't mention it again. From now on, I am no longer your master."

Gu Qing waved her hand.

"Ah..."

Lin Qingwan felt a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

As a master, Gu Qing had been very good to her.

"From now on, you'll be following your Grandmaster, won't you? In other words, you will be his disciple from now on. You could say that from here on out, we are in a relationship of senior sister and junior sister."

Gu Qing nodded and said.

"Is, is that so?" Only after Gu Qing said this did Lin Qingwan realize.

"Boom!"

Just as Gu Qing was about to say something, a loud explosion suddenly rang out in the sky.

The two of them hurriedly looked up.

They saw a Tree Spirit Dharma Image and a Goddess Dharma Image battling in the air, emitting bursts of rumbling sounds.

Zhong Lingqing had also gotten her wish to see Ruo Lan, and was working up a sweat by sparring with Ruo Lan.

Ruo Lan had just advanced to the Integration Realm and also wanted to test her current skills, so the two hit it off immediately and began to fight.

At first, the two were only sparring with swords in Ruo Lan's courtyard, but later Zhong Lingqing realized she was no match at all, so she grew anxious and used her Dharma Image.

Seeing this, Ruo Lan followed suit and used her Dharma Image as well.

Integration Realm cultivators can refine their own Domain, but Ruo Lan had not yet begun to study it, so for the moment, the two were evenly matched.

Zhong Lingqing's Tree Spirit extended countless vines, surging toward Ruo Lan.

Ruo Lan was unhurried; she controlled her Dharma Image and slashed out with a Wind Blade, covering the sky and earth, and all the vines were severed completely.

The Wind Blade also vanished into the air.

The two attacked again; the Tree Spirit Dharma Image clenched its wooden fist and smashed it down toward the Goddess Dharma Image, the speed of the fist appearing very slow.

Yet in reality, it only looked slow because the Dharma Image was so enormous; its actual speed was very fast.

Ruo Lan immediately dodged backward, flashing to a high cliff, and then a Light Sword flickering with white radiance appeared in the Goddess Dharma Image's hand.

Waving the Light Sword, another eight Wind Blades slashed toward Zhong Lingqing.

The Tree Spirit could not dodge in time and could only use its trunk as a shield to block in front of itself; five consecutive wooden shields were all shattered, and a crack was also slashed into the Tree Spirit Dharma Image.

"Good heavens..."

Gu Qing and Lin Qingwan were both stunned.
