Chapter 38: Heartbroken Qin Miaoyin's Wonderful Sound

"What kind of trash comprehension is this? I'm truly impressed! Do you have no brain?"

Jun Tianling exhausted her tongue explaining to Jiang Xun for an hour.

As a result, Jiang Xun simply didn't understand even the first layer.

It angered Jun Tianling so much she wanted to destroy her own soul.

"Try to understand, for these past thousand years I have used Dual Cultivation to practice; it's both happy and allows for cultivation, so I long ago stopped using my brain to study techniques."

Jiang Xun also felt a bit guilty.

If one can rely on Dual Cultivation to practice, who would still study techniques!

This was perhaps the drawback of the Lingerie-Sect.

"Come, get inside, I will teach you personally."

Jun Tianling gritted her teeth.

"If I go in and you possess me, what then? Unless you swear a Dao Oath to never take action against me."

Jiang Xun wouldn't go!

"I, I Jun Tianling..."

"Say Si Yuyan."

Just as Jun Tianling prepared to swear, Jiang Xun added.

Jun Tianling frowned upon hearing this: "Why?"

"Si Yuyan should be your real name; swearing as Jun Tianling won't be effective."

Jiang Xun still trusted the system more.

"I, Si Yuyan, swear that during the teaching period I will never take action against Jiang Xun, otherwise my soul shall be scattered."

To Jun Tianling, she wasn't any Si Yuyan at all, so it didn't matter if she swore using Si Yuyan.

But when she saw a flash around her body, she was a bit stunned.

This was the symbol of a Dao Oath forming!

'Am I really called Si Yuyan?'

Seeing this, Jun Tianling couldn't help but furrow her brows, feeling suspicious in her heart.

"Don't look for loopholes; I told you to swear that you would never take action against me, not just during the teaching period."

Jiang Xun caught the linguistic loophole of this woman, Jun Tianling.

"One day when I get out, I will definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces."

Jun Tianling lowered her hand upon hearing this and said with a cold face.

She would absolutely not take that oath!

"Then forget it, I don't need you to teach me."

Jiang Xun shrugged.

Actually, he hadn't completely failed to understand just now; it was just that he hadn't learned knowledge in a long time, so his mind was a bit cluttered.

If he carefully sorted it out, he should still be able to learn it.

Afterwards, Jiang Xun opened his eyes and only then saw that at some unknown time, Lin Qingwan had knelt on the ground and fallen asleep on his lap.

"She can even fall asleep like this?"

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly, then stood up, carried Lin Qingwan back into the room, placed her on the bed, and even helped her cover herself with the quilt.

After all, she was his woman.

After finishing this, Jiang Xun took a bath and changed his clothes.

Then he took out the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant, preparing to cultivate to the Golden Core Great Perfection.

The scene around him shifted, and Jiang Xun appeared cross-legged inside the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant, only to discover that Qin Miaoyin was already here.

They had previously agreed to meet every three days, and today happened to be the third day.

After seeing Jiang Xun, Qin Miaoyin squatted on the ground, looking at Jiang Xun with teary eyes; she was completely different from before.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Xun looked at Qin Miaoyin and asked.

"Senior, Senior Sister Pei died at Xuwang Mountain." Qin Miaoyin looked at Jiang Xun and said in a low tone.

"Hmm." Jiang Xun nodded, not saying much else; this matter had nothing to do with him.

"Senior..."

"Hmm?"

"You, lied to me..."

Qin Miaoyin looked at Jiang Xun, her eye sockets red.

Hearing this, Jiang Xun also knew that this must be because Zhuo Yang and the others had described Jiang Xun's appearance after returning.

Qin Miaoyin knew it was him as soon as she heard it.

"Did you tell them about our affairs?"

Jiang Xun asked.

Qin Miaoyin shook her head: "No, I originally wanted to say it, but I held back."

She was now not only sad that her Senior Sister Pei had died, but also sad that Jiang Xun had lied to her, had lied to her body—although it was only her soul, that act had indeed been done.

But she was also grateful that Jiang Xun had given her the Foundation Establishment Pill, allowing her to successfully reach Foundation Establishment, and had also taught her cultivation.

So in the end, she still held back and did not mention anything related to Jiang Xun.

"Senior, are you a person from Shanyu Tower?"

Qin Miaoyin asked next.

"Don't ask about anything more; Miaoyin, no matter what, I won't harm you."

Jiang Xun stood up and came to Qin Miaoyin's side, gently putting his arm around her shoulders: "Although our union is only of the soul, you are still my woman."

"But I don't even know who you really are, what your status is, or where you are. I can't even be sure if the name you told me is real or fake. How can this count as being your woman?"

Qin Miaoyin looked up at Jiang Xun with a grievance-filled face, tears welling up and spilling from her eyes.

"Why do you have the Wall Mirror Jade Pendant? Why did you appear here? Why lie to me that you were an immortal living inside the Jade Pendant? Why did you still go to Xuwang Mountain after promising me you wouldn't? Why do you refuse to tell me who you really are?"

"Ever since I learned that you are the mysterious senior from Shanyu Tower that my senior brother spoke of, these questions have been stuck in my mind. I can't make sense of them."

"I was just a female cultivator who was only at the Qi Refining Realm at the time. You, a senior who could even slay the soul of a Demon Venerable, why bother making up those lies to deceive me?"

"What benefit could I possibly give you, Senior?"

This barrage of questions left Jiang Xun stunned.

He had grown up in the Lingerie-Sect for a thousand years, practicing nothing but Dual Cultivation and pleasure; who had ever talked about love and affection?

Back then, tricking Qin Miaoyin into a soul-based Dual Cultivation with him was merely a matter of habit.

He had completely ignored the fact that there was not a shred of affection between him and this girl.

Yet this girl had been single-mindedly wanting to help him and repay him, which was why she was tricked into swearing an oath and offering herself.

Jiang Xun did not know that Qin Miaoyin had been trying to convince herself to fall in love with this old man all these days, which was very difficult for a young girl.

But she had still managed to do it.

Only to discover she had been deceived.

This feeling was no different from being killed.

"Girl, my name is Jiang Xun."

After thinking it through, Jiang Xun crouched down beside Qin Miaoyin and said softly.

"Jiang Xun..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Miaoyin even forgot to cry: "The Lingerie-Sect Great Elder, Hehuan Young Master Jiang Xun!?"

Hehuan Young Master was the title Jiang Xun held before he grew old.

Now, everyone called him: Old Lecher.

"It seems you have heard of me."

Jiang Xun nodded with a bitter smile.

"I heard you were a dashing and handsome man, with looks unrivaled in the world, even surpassing women. You... how..."

"You're lying to me again!"

Qin Miaoyin looked at Jiang Xun, her face full of disbelief.

"Sigh."

Jiang Xun sighed: "Then you haven't heard that I failed my breakthrough and was struck by the Heavenly Tribulation, losing my cultivation and lifespan?"

"Ah?" Qin Miaoyin shook her head in a daze; she truly had not heard of that.

"That happened not long ago. I am slowly recovering now; in time, I will become young again."

Jiang Xun stroked Qin Miaoyin's head: "Rest assured, although I was indeed attracted to your beauty, I have absolutely no intention of harming you. From that day on, you are my woman, and I will be responsible for you to the end."

"Fairy Qin, you wouldn't happen to despise these old bones of mine, would you?"

"No... that's not it." Looking into Jiang Xun's eyes, Qin Miaoyin blushed for no reason, feeling somewhat shy.
