73: punish?

“No, I’m fine! Revered Master, you don’t need to worry!”

“Hmm, it’s good that you’re fine, but you really are a bit strange today,” Lin Yunhan said.

Zhou Jingqi remained silent. It was better not to explain such things; the more she explained, the more chaotic it would become.

Seeing her silent Disciple, Lin Yunhan didn’t ask further and pulled Han Wanqing to another side to relax.

But not long after, a strange sound came.

“Ying Ning!”

“?”

“??”

Zhou Jingyi’s face grew redder and redder, and she didn’t know what was happening.

“W-What’s wrong, Jingyi?”

“Woo, no, I’m fine, Sister, I just…” Zhou Jingyi spoke evasively.

“Chen Xuan!” Zhou Jingqi transmitted her voice through gritted teeth.

She knew it was Chen Xuan’s doing even with her eyes closed.

“Cough cough, I just wanted to say that Jingyi stepped on me just now!” Chen Xuan transmitted his voice.

“And then?” Zhou Jingqi’s face was gloomy.

“Then I plan to have little Jingyi change positions, otherwise, she might accidentally hurt me!” Chen Xuan said with a matter-of-fact expression.

“How much does Jingyi weigh? You’ll be fine?” Zhou Jingqi was furious and directly extended her jade foot to kick him.

However, since Lin Yunhan and the others were present, she didn’t dare to make too much noise. The force of her kick became very small, naturally unable to cause any harm to Chen Xuan.

“Jingqi, what’s going on? What’s wrong with Jingyi?” Lin Yunhan and Han Wanqing looked over after hearing the sound.

“Nothing, I just felt the weather was a bit hot and wanted to come up for some air. I accidentally twisted myself!” Zhou Jingyi explained, while frantically giving Chen Xuan a look with her body language, signaling him not to move.

“Oh, so that’s it!” Lin Yunhan didn’t think much of it and nodded.

“But Jingyi, why is your face so red?”

“Uh, it might be because I used too much force just now, that’s why it’s red!” Zhou Jingyi explained.

“…”

Lin Yunhan and Fairy Han were speechless; they could see through such a clumsy lie!

“In that case, pay more attention. If it’s really too much, just go ashore and rest for a while!”

“Mm-hmm, I’ll pay attention!”

…

“Yunhan, why do I feel like these two sisters are acting strange today?” The two women returned to their original spots, Han Wanqing whispered.

“They are indeed a bit strange, but there’s no need to worry. With the two of us here, what could happen? Let’s continue talking about your matter!” Lin Yunhan said with a smile.

“You’re right, nothing can happen to them. It’s my side, I don’t dare to go…”

“Ying Ning!”

This time it was Zhou Jingqi’s voice.

“?”

“??”

“Jingqi, what exactly is going on with you two today?” Lin Yunhan shouted directly, then went straight to the Zhou Jingqi sisters. Han Wanqing also followed with interest.

From Chen Xuan’s perspective, two more pairs of jade feet immediately appeared.

However, one of them had a red string, which made him freeze on the spot. He even forgot to punish Zhou Jingqi and directly let her go.

He was too familiar with this foot; he had maintained it for more than ten years, he did her nail art, and the red string on her ankle was also a special gift from him. He absolutely couldn’t be mistaken!

‘This, this can’t be, right? How could Han Wanqing be here?!’

“You two sisters, are you not feeling well? Why are both your faces red?”

“Ah?! No, no, Revered Master, it, it might be too hot!” Zhou Jingqi quickly explained.

“Is it really hot?” Lin Yunhan looked up at the sky. A few white clouds floated in the sky, and a gentle breeze blew; it was a good day for relaxation.

“Mm, yes, it’s a bit hot!” Zhou Jingyi also nodded.

“You two really have a problem!” Lin Yunhan said with a stern face, moving closer.

“Chen Xuan, you, you bastard! You’ve ruined me! When this is over, I’m not done with you!” Zhou Jingqi transmitted her voice indignantly.

“What, not talking now? It’s no use not talking, you’re dead!” She kicked Chen Xuan again.

“Why aren’t you talking? What exactly is going on with you two??” Seeing her Disciple’s indignant expression, Lin Yunhan couldn’t help but want to go over and see.

“No, I’m fine, Revered Master, you don’t need to come over!”

“You child, if you’re uncomfortable anywhere, just tell your Revered Master directly, why be so distant!” Lin Yunhan didn’t listen at all and approached step by step.

However, how could Zhou Jingqi really let her come over? She directly got up and went to meet Lin Yunhan, and in doing so, she stepped on Chen Xuan again.

“Oh, I’m really fine, Revered Master, if you don’t believe me, take a look!”

“Han Wanqing, you come and check on this girl. You’ve studied Pill Formulas with Chen Xuan, so you know a bit about this. I don’t understand any medical skills and can’t tell anything.”

“Alright, you two really are something, still not letting Yunhan rest easy at this age!” Han Wanqing also approached step by step and grabbed Zhou Jingqi’s wrist.

“Hmm?” She frowned instantly.

“W-What’s wrong?”

“Arrhythmia, this shouldn’t appear in a Cultivator with Golden Core cultivation!”

“What is arrhythmia?”

“It’s… Oh, anyway, you wouldn’t understand if I told you, Chen Xuan told me all this! The last time he said this term, it was when he was giving me…”

Han Wanqing immediately shut up, then looked at Zhou Jingqi in surprise.

“Little girl, you’re not simple!” She said with a half-smile.

“W-What’s wrong?” Zhou Jingqi was extremely nervous.

“That’s right, what’s wrong with my Disciple?!” Lin Yunhan asked anxiously.

“It’s nothing much. If a Cultivator with Golden Core cultivation experiences this kind of arrhythmia, it means there’s someone she fancies in front of her…”

“What?!” Lin Yunhan instantly lost her composure.

One must know, Zhou Jingqi was her most treasured Disciple, the Cultivator with the most hope of Breaking Through to Soul Transformation in nearly a hundred years! And it wasn’t that she didn’t allow her to find a partner, but at this stage, Cultivation was the most important thing!

“Who is it? I need to have a good talk with that boy!”

“No, there isn’t!” Zhou Jingyi quickly waved her hands.

Lin Yunhan had a stern face, and Han Wanqing was watching the show.

“There really isn’t!” Zhou Jingqi was anxious. This Fairy Han was completely talking nonsense; how could she have such feelings for that Chen Xuan?

The reason her heart was racing was simply because that hateful scoundrel Chen Xuan had attacked her in the water, and she didn’t dare to expose him!

“That’s right, how, how is that possible? My sister has always been single-minded and couldn’t possibly have someone she likes!”

“I almost forgot about you, little girl. Han Wanqing, you go and check on her too, to see what’s going on!” Lin Yunhan’s expression was serious.

“No problem!”

“Wait, wait for me…” Before Zhou Jingyi could finish her sentence, Han Wanqing had already appeared in front of her.

“Plop!”

She fell into the water at once.

“Give me your hand… Hmm? This aura is…?!”
