96: Her physique

Lin Qingxi nervously looked up at Jun Lingxiao, didn't refuse, and walked over to sit beside Jun Lingxiao with her head bowed.

She glanced at the distance between them, then secretly edged a little closer to Jun Lingxiao.

Good, he didn't notice.

She moved a little closer again.

She looked up and saw Jun Lingxiao staring fixedly at her.

“Caught in the act…”

She whimpered inwardly, but Jun Lingxiao showed no particular expression.

“Finally looking up.”

“What did I tell you last time, Lin Qingxi? When you look at me, you must look up.”

“Look up at me.”

“Okay.”

Lin Qingxi realized that she couldn't refuse any of Jun Lingxiao's requests or words.

She nervously looked around, feeling very strange.

She shouldn't feel this way when sitting with others, but at this moment, she felt a bit restless, looking left and right, desperately wanting to find a topic.

However, when she turned to look at Jun Lingxiao's profile, she inexplicably quieted down.

A gentle breeze blew, and the young man's profile glowed under the moonlight, as if sprinkled with a layer of gold dust, dazzlingly bright.

He was still as calm and indifferent, his eyes always like still lake water, unperturbed, gazing into the distance, as if an endless secret was hidden in his heart.

Watching him like this, Lin Qingxi gradually calmed down. She was no longer so nervous and openly looked at Jun Lingxiao's profile.

Then, she let out a soft sigh:

“Your Highness, you really are… different from others.”

“Oh? How so?”

Lin Qingxi listened to Jun Lingxiao's question, touched the stone steps beneath her, and looked at the few other Jun Family Disciples scattered around, sitting on the ground.

“I have never seen someone of your status sit in a place like this.”

Lin Qingxi had always harbored resentment towards those in the upper echelons, as her life had been one of constant upheaval.

After being expelled by the Lin Family's main branch, she came to the Jun Family, stood out among thousands of her own people, and finally managed to enter the Jun Family to Cultivate.

But what awaited her was the disdain of the main branch members.

Her entire life seemed like a plaything for those in the upper class, so she always viewed such people with the worst possible opinion.

But Jun Lingxiao's appearance shattered this notion.

Jun Lingxiao, as the Divine Son, worked even harder than she did, and he sat with her on the stone steps, just like the scene when he hosted a banquet and ate with everyone.

He held a high position, yet unexpectedly, he did not consider himself superior, as if in his eyes, he was no different from others.

“My status?”

Jun Lingxiao chuckled softly, then tilted his head slightly to look at the sky.

“Status isn't something I can choose, but I can choose how I live.”

“I also can't oppress my own Disciples within my Family. If you go outside later, you might see me flaunting my power and trampling others underfoot.”

“Lin Qingxi, don't deify me.”

“Every Jun Family member is for me, and I am for everyone. That is all.”

Jun Lingxiao was quite clear-headed. Even with everyone complimenting him, he maintained his true nature. As a Transmigrator, his previous life was more profound than his current one in this world, which shaped his personality.

Towards his own people, he treated them with ease; this was his true nature from his previous life. Towards enemies, he was as domineering as possible; this was the teaching from this life.

“Deify…”

When Lin Qingxi heard these two words, she had a momentary lapse, as if returning to that afternoon.

The main branch and the collateral branches belonged to two different factions, and the affiliated families were excluded. That day, the day Jun Lingxiao went to the God Tablet Platform, he happened upon a martial arts competition held by their affiliated Family. It was because the affiliated families were not well-regarded that they chose the afternoon, after everyone else had dispersed.

But unexpectedly, they met Jun Lingxiao.

So they could only wait.

As they waited, they didn't get an empty arena. Instead, Jun Lingxiao walked over and sat down with them to talk.

At that moment, Lin Qingxi felt as if the high and mighty god had suddenly… descended before her.

“Let's not talk about that anymore. Tell me about yourself.”

“What level is your Cultivation at?”

Jun Lingxiao said, shifting the topic to Lin Qingxi.

When it came to her Cultivation, she became confident and immediately began to enthusiastically show Jun Lingxiao her achievements.

“Your Highness, during the time you were away, I've already reached the Eighth Divine Realm! Maybe I can reach the Spirit Sea Realm before I'm twenty!”

“And, and I also received a Mind-Cultivation Technique and a set of sword techniques from the Cultivation Technique Hall!”

“Look!”

Lin Qingxi said, eagerly demonstrating with empty hands, which actually looked quite decent.

The two were the same age this year. Although she was far behind Jun Lingxiao, if she could Breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm before the age of twenty, she would be considered an absolute Genius. To reach this stage without any special Physique or Sacred Physique was truly impressive.

“Very impressive.”

Jun Lingxiao nodded occasionally as he watched, and he didn't point out that the Cultivation Technique she received was actually arranged by him.

He had someone find a few suitable Cultivation Techniques for her among those she could Cultivate. While being fair to others, it was a small favor to her, a matter of a single sentence.

However… among the affiliated families, Lin Qingxi seemed to be the only one far ahead. Did she really not have any special Physique?

Thinking of this, Jun Lingxiao fell into contemplation again.

“Lin Qingxi, has anyone tested your Physique?”

Jun Lingxiao said, activating his Dao Heart Enlightenment to observe her. He carefully checked, and her spiritual platform, Dao embryo, and Meridians all seemed normal, but… why was it a reverse flow?

Normally, the spiritual platform gathers spiritual power to the Dao embryo, but how was it that Lin Qingxi's Dao embryo converted Dao power and sent it to the spiritual platform?

He had actually noticed this at the beginning, but he hadn't really paid much attention to it.

“Physique? No, why? Your Highness, does my Physique have any benefits for Cultivation?”

Lin Qingxi said, a hint of joy appearing on her face. If her Physique was special, would she be stronger?

Would she be closer to Jun Lingxiao?

“...Hard to say. Tomorrow, I happen to be going to see the Old Ancestor. I'll ask him for you then.”

Her Physique was indeed special, but no matter how Jun Lingxiao looked at it, it seemed like a Waste body (waste Physique).

As dusk fell, he bid farewell to Lin Qingxi.

The next day, Jun Lingxiao took Bai Yu to find the Old Ancestor.

He had thought the Old Ancestor would know what this thing was called, but to his surprise, the Old Ancestor was also very confused upon seeing it.
