168: Chapter 168 Phoenix Essence Blood

"Where did you all go?"

After Su Muyan saw her three troublesome Junior Sisters return with Qin Yun, she immediately stepped forward to ask, while Leng Youxue became completely agitated.

"Senior Sister, you don't know, but I can clearly see now that martial artists like us can't beat those who Cultivate Immortality. From now on, I want to Cultivate Immortality!"

"What nonsense are you spouting now?"

"It's true, Senior Sister! You wouldn't believe it—that person called the... Tang Family Old Ancestor, someone even stronger than our Master, was actually defeated directly by Mr. Qin's big finger! It was simply unbelievable!"

Leng Youxue was wearing a Daoist nun's robe, but her wild gesticulations made Su Muyan's gaze fall onto Qin Yun.

She knew what her Fourth Junior Sister was like: she loved the Jianghu world, enjoyed acting as a hero every day, robbing the rich to help the poor, and in a sense, suffered from chuunibyou.

But one thing she was certain of was that her Junior Sister never lied. This meant that this young man, who had just Broken Through to the Mid-stage Huajin Realm, really beat a centenarian elder so badly that he was looking for his teeth everywhere, and it was a complete crushing defeat!

Su Muyan had never been clear about Qin Yun's true strength before, only knowing he was the youngest Huajin Realm expert she had ever met. But she never dreamed his strength could be Heaven-Defying to this extent.

"Alright, the matter is resolved. Let's just enjoy a comfortable vacation for the next couple of days! Miss Su, speaking of which, after seeing you, I just remembered something that might be very suitable for you. Could we speak privately for a moment?"

Hearing that Qin Yun wanted to speak with Su Muyan privately, Qin Yushang immediately jumped out and said righteously.

"Qin Yun, what are you trying to do? You already have my Third Senior Sister; don't even think about pursuing anyone else."

Qin Yun chuckled and knocked her on the head. "What are you thinking? I just want to say a few words."

Qin Yushang covered her head, looking disgruntled, while Meng Ruxin narrowed her eyes, seemingly calculating something.

Su Muyan sighed softly, then followed Qin Yun to the balcony. Looking at the city view, she couldn't help but speak.

"Mr. Qin, is there something you wanted to talk about with me alone?"

Qin Yun glanced at her, then took something out of his System space. "I learned some methods of Reading Faces, and I feel that your fate is related to the Phoenix."

"Phoenix?"

Su Muyan was stunned. She remembered her Master mentioning that she had a phoenix fate, and she had initially thought her Master was just trying to trick her. She never expected Qin Yun to say the same thing.

Then, Qin Yun directly took out a bottle of blood and immediately said, "This is something I obtained by chance. It's called phoenix essence blood, and it might be able to help you with your Cultivation."

Su Muyan looked at the bottle of blood, and a sudden urge rose in her heart. Her body instinctively anticipated this blood; it was as if something inside her was eager to try it out.

"She then said, "This item must be very precious, right? Are you really willing to give it to me?"

"To me, this thing is just an ingredient for Alchemy—one more or one less doesn't make a difference. But I have a premonition that perhaps... you need this thing more than I do."

Saying this, Qin Yun gently patted Su Muyan's shoulder. What was surprising was that Su Muyan did not feel repulsed by Qin Yun's touch.

Just as Qin Yun was about to walk back, Su Muyan's voice came from behind him. "Mr... Mr. Qin, thank you."

Qin Yun smiled slightly. Did this count as him having pried open her heart, even if only slightly?

That night, Su Muyan immediately locked herself in her room for Secluded Cultivation. The fluctuations coming from inside surprised everyone, especially Meng Ruxin, who practically broke down and knelt on the ground.

"No, no! How is she Breaking Through again! I only just managed to catch up! Muyan, wait for me, wait for me!"

Compared to Meng Ruxin's reaction, the others were pleasantly surprised. "Is Senior Sister about to Break Through to the Huajin Realm? I'm looking forward to it, hoping Senior Sister succeeds."

"Mhm, mhm. If Senior Sister successfully Breaks Through, we'll have one more backer in the future. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

"But have you considered this? We seem to only have two days. If Senior Sister's Breakthrough takes too long, what about the business of their Su Family company..."

Qin Yushang raised a blind spot, but the others said in unison, "Senior Sister is so rich already, skipping a few days of work won't hurt."

Qin Yushang's mouth twitched. She then looked at Qin Yun, who shrugged. "Everyone, the vacation is extended. We will only return once Miss Su wakes up."

"Mr. Qin, President Qin, what about us?"

Yang Ruobing, Ye Qingge, and Yun Yan asked, as in a sense, all three of them worked for Qin Yun. Qin Yun waved his hand and said.

"The vacation continues to be extended. By the way, Shiyu, your school..."

Jiang Shiyu pouted. "I directly asked my Counselor for sick leave. When I'll be discharged is still unknown."

Qin Yun: ...Good grief. Even the obedient Campus Belle has been led astray by him. In a sense, he truly is a sinner!

"In that case, I'm going to take a nap first. You all continue to enjoy yourselves! Make the most of this vacation!"

However, just after Qin Yun entered the room, a peculiar look flickered in Meng Ruxin's eyes...
