63: As a junior brother, it is my duty to check my senior sister's injuries!
"His name is Chen Ye. He just joined Qingxin Palace not long ago."
Gu Qingyi stepped forward and explained for Chen Ye.
Chen Ye also immediately adjusted his state of mind, took two steps back, and lowered his head slightly as he called out, "Greetings, Senior Brother Wang Ming."
He had long since changed his appearance; let alone Wang Ming, even if his own father came back to life, he wouldn't be able to recognize him.
Therefore, since the enemy was in the open while he was in the shadows, there was no need to panic; the advantage was his!
"Chen Ye?"
Wang Ming repeated the name, feeling that it was inexplicably familiar.
But as for where exactly the familiarity came from, he couldn't say for the moment.
At that moment, Chen Ye suddenly cupped his fists toward the two of them and said, "Senior Sister Gu, Senior Brother Wang, this is a rare Opportunity. I would like to seek out some of my own opportunities, so I won't disturb you any longer. Farewell."
After saying that, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Although he was confident that Wang Ming wouldn't recognize him now.
His past experiences told him that as long as he stayed with Wang Ming, nothing good would happen!
Therefore, it was better to stay away.
Additionally, Elder Ming was about to take him to find an Opportunity next; with outsiders around, it would be inconvenient for him to act.
As for winning over Gu Qingyi... there was still plenty of time. He would take it one step at a time!
"This Junior Brother is quite an interesting person."
Wang Ming stared at Chen Ye's departing back and chuckled.
Gu Qingyi didn't look at Chen Ye, but instead stared intently at Wang Ming. "Compared to him, Second Junior Brother, I'm actually more interested in you."
"'Sexual' interest?"
Wang Ming was slightly taken aback, indicating that he wasn't such a casual person.
The wild was certainly stimulating.
But the ground was too hard; it would be uncomfortable.
Gu Qingyi didn't delve deeper into the topic and walked toward the cave entrance. "Just as Junior Brother Chen said, the Opportunity to enter the Secret Realm is rare. You might as well go look for some opportunities too, Junior Brother."
After saying that, she prepared to leave.
Just then, a light screen appeared in front of Wang Ming.
[Selection Triggered!]
[Option 1: Better to destroy ten temples than break up a marriage! The host has interrupted the encounter between the Child of Destiny and the Female Lead and should make amends! Persuade Gu Qingyi to team up with Chen Ye to create an Opportunity for them to build a romantic foundation! Reward: Hot Pot Card! Using this card allows you to forcibly continue a battle after others have finished fighting!]
[Option 2: Gu Qingyi fled in a sorry state just now and must be seriously injured. As a Junior Brother, you have an obligation to check her injuries! Reward: Heaven-Tier Top-Grade technique, Cloud-Turning Rain-Making Hands!]
[Option 3: Since she's injured, what's the use of just checking? Shouldn't you help treat her? Take advantage of her under the guise of healing! Reward: One Step to the Horizon Minor Achievement!]
The moment the options appeared, Wang Ming took a step forward and blocked Gu Qingyi's path.
Gu Qingyi looked up, her brow furrowing slightly. "Is there something else?"
Wang Ming said, "Are you injured?"
Gu Qingyi shook her head slightly. "Just a few superficial wounds, it's not a big deal."
Wang Ming pointed to a rock. "Sit there. I'm an Alchemist; I can take a look for you."
Gu Qingyi raised an eyebrow. "You know alchemy too?"
Wang Ming directly threw her a qi gathering pill. "In the Jianghu, having an extra skill is like having an extra means of survival."
Gu Qingyi looked at the qi gathering pill and couldn't help but praise, "You've got some skill!"
A qi gathering pill was only a first-grade Medicinal Pill.
But the quality of this one was comparable to a third-grade Medicinal Pill!
At Wang Ming's age, being able to achieve this level was already enough to be called a Genius!
She returned the qi gathering pill to Wang Ming and shook her head. "There's no need. I'm not that fragile."
Saying that, she lifted her foot to step past Wang Ming.
At that moment, Wang Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed Gu Qingyi's wrist.
Wang Ming was not Chen Ye.
Gu Qingyi didn't even have time to react before she was pulled back by Wang Ming.
"I said there's no need. Let go of me."
Gu Qingyi's willow-like brows furrowed.
She didn't like having overly close contact with the opposite sex.
Furthermore, Wang Ming was Ouyang Yaoxi's man, and she and Ouyang Yaoxi considered each other sisters.
One shouldn't covet a friend's wife; by the same token, one should keep their distance from a sister's man.
"I don't care what you think; I care what I think!"
Wang Ming pulled Gu Qingyi and forcibly pressed her down onto the rock. "Revered Master has instructed that I am responsible for everyone's safety during this Secret Realm trip, and of course, you are no exception, Senior Sister."
He said seriously, "Everyone came in whole, so everyone must go out whole. Not even a single scratch is allowed!"
Gu Qingyi didn't care what he said at all, her face turning cold. "I'll say it one last time: there's no need!"
Wang Ming remained unmoved, his hand already reaching toward her skirt.
"It seems I need to teach you the meaning of seniority and respect!!"
Gu Qingyi snorted coldly, releasing her Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer spiritual power without reservation, pressing it toward Wang Ming to force him back.
Boom!
The ground inside the cave was shaken until it cracked!
Yet Wang Ming still stood in place, motionless.
Gu Qingyi was shocked!
From Revered Master's attitude, she had considered that she might no longer be Wang Ming's match.
But she had never imagined that she wouldn't even be able to budge him?!
"I don't believe this!"
Gu Qingyi's competitive spirit was ignited. No longer just using her Aura to pressure him, she clenched her hand into a fist and threw a sudden, fierce punch toward Wang Ming's head!
She went all out from the very beginning!
With this punch, she was confident she could kill even someone at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer in one hit!
However, Wang Ming didn't even spare her a glance, nor did he have any intention of defending.
Seeing this, Gu Qingyi quickly pulled back some of her strength.
She simply wanted to force Wang Ming to act and see how big the gap between her and Wang Ming truly was.
She didn't actually want to hurt him.
Boom!
Gu Qingyi's fist landed!
But it didn't land on Wang Ming's body. Instead, ten inches in front of him, there seemed to be an invisible membrane blocking the punch.
Gu Qingyi's pupils constricted. "Divine Sense power!!"
She remembered what Chen Ye had said just now: Wang Ming's Divine Sense might have already reached the level of a Nascent Soul old monster!
Was that possible?
He was only in his twenties!
If it really was that exaggerated, wouldn't those so-called Prodigies of the Central Continent become jokes?
At this moment, Wang Ming suddenly said, "While I'm checking your injuries, I'll have to trouble you to bear with it for a bit."
As soon as he finished speaking!
An invisible force instantly enveloped Gu Qingyi entirely!
She tried to struggle, but in the face of that power, she was like an ant; no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.
At this moment, she somewhat believed Chen Ye's words.
But not entirely.
Nascent Soul was a bit too exaggerated, but with the strength of this Divine Sense power, it was at least at the Core Formation level!
While she was thinking about this.
Wang Ming had already taken action, lifting her skirt and grabbing her fair calf.
Gu Qingyi trembled uncontrollably.
She felt as if an electric current had emanated from Wang Ming's hand, instantly sweeping through her entire body.
It made her very uncomfortable.
