"Honestly, none of them are honest."
After resolving the dispute, Xu Qi returned to the outside of the courtyard.
After this incident, everyone else finally behaved themselves and dared not cause any more trouble.
Let him have some peace and quiet.
No further disputes occurred until dusk fell and the Arena closed.
After closing the Arena, Xu Qi finally went home.
He has free time in the evenings and can do whatever he wants.
After leaving the Fighting Skills Pavilion, he planned to go to the back mountain to practice his fighting skills.
After all, no matter how many combat techniques one has, without actual practice, they are ultimately just theoretical and impractical.
...
The back mountain.
This place is usually rarely visited.
Because the back mountain of Yunlan Sect connects to the forbidden area of Yunlan Sect, only Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran can freely enter and exit normally.
Elders can come, but they generally won't come unless there's a specific reason.
As for disciples, whether they are outer or inner disciples, they are all prohibited from entering the back mountain without permission.
But Xu Qi is different.
His status was somewhat special; although he wasn't an elder, he wasn't an ordinary disciple either.
So he could enter the back mountain—or at least he thought he could.
Anyway, no one told him he couldn't come in.
The back mountain is the best place for him to quietly repair his chains.
The surrounding environment is very quiet, with mountains and water, birds singing and flowers blooming, and shady trees.
The scenery of Yunlan Sect is beautiful overall, and the back mountain is even more beautiful.
"This place is the most suitable place for me to practice chain combat techniques."
Xu Qi took a deep breath, preparing to find an open space to practice his fighting skills.
Passing through the dense forest, ahead lies a waterfall cascading down from the high mountain. The torrents crash against the rocks, splashing up large sprays of water, creating a white expanse.
The mist brings a refreshing coolness, driving away the lingering heat of summer.
"This place is really comfortable, much cooler than the Martial Arts Pavilion." Xu Qi pouted, preparing to test the power of his martial arts here.
"Splash!"
Suddenly, a beautiful figure emerged from the pool below the waterfall.
Her smooth, wet hair was tossed around with a gentle flick, sending it flying everywhere. Countless water droplets scattered across the water's surface like a fairy scattering flowers, dripping and pattering.
Beneath her flowing hair, her elegant and perfect face, having just emerged from the water, had lost some of its nobility and gained a touch of allure, making her incredibly beautiful.
Water trickled down her cheeks and fair neck, then down her collarbone and onto her alluring breasts that were barely visible.
A beauty emerges from her bath!
Xu Qi's location was also a cliff, with a height difference of more than ten meters from the surface of the pool.
A normal person can see it from this distance, but not very clearly. In addition, the waterfall cascades down and is surrounded by water vapor, making it even more enchanting.
But Xu Qi is different.
He possesses the [Eye of Gods], which increases his insight by 1000%, his field of vision by 1000%, and also grants him the ability to see through objects within a 500-meter radius.
To him, a mere ten meters or so in height made no difference.
Even the woman beneath the pool appeared to him as clearly and transparently as if viewed through a telescope.
Not to mention the spring scenery visible only on the surface of the water, even what's underwater can be seen clearly!
Xu Qi swore he really didn't know there were people down there.
He glanced at it casually, but was immediately captivated by the alluring spring scenery below.
When had he, in his youthful exuberance, ever witnessed such a scene?
Just then, the woman below seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up and saw Xu Qi.
The next moment,
"Bang!"
The woman took off, her wings of battle qi flapping behind her as she soared into the sky. As she took off, her clothes flew out of her storage ring and quickly put on her.
Who is it?
A long sword appeared in front of Xu Qi in an instant.
"Sect Master, it's me!"
Xu Qi was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands.
Yun Yun's speed was too fast; as a powerful Dou Huang, she could easily toy with him.
"Xu Qi? What are you doing here??"
Upon seeing the boy's face clearly, Yun Yun was somewhat surprised, but she showed no intention of lowering her sword and continued to coldly press him for answers.
"This is the back mountain; no disciple is allowed to enter without permission. How did you get in?"
"I...I...I just wanted to find a place to practice chain combat techniques. Also, the sect's rules previously stated that outer and inner disciples were not allowed to enter the back mountain, but I don't think I belong to either the outer or inner sect..."
Xu Qi quickly explained, his face full of sincerity, without a single lie.
Yun Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly considering the credibility of Xu Qi's words.
"really?"
"Absolutely true!"
Xu Qi truly didn't utter a single lie.
He really just wanted to come here to practice his fighting skills, who knew he would run into Yun Yun bathing here by such a coincidence...
Although I had just had a feast for the eyes, the longsword pressed against my face now felt equally cold.
Yun Yun looked at him without saying a word for a long time, seemingly trying to determine whether Xu Qi's words were true or false.
Then, she glanced back at the pool below, assessed the distance, and asked, "What did you see just now?"
When she asked that question, there was a dangerous glint in her eyes.
Xu Qi felt that if his answer did not satisfy her, Yun Yun would definitely not let him off the hook.
After much deliberation, he finally spoke, "I saw it... but only a little bit."
From a normal vantage point, at this height, you can indeed only see people taking a shower below, but it's not very clear.
Of course, Xu Qi could see it all clearly.
But can you really say something like that?
cannot!
But if I say I didn't see anything, Yunyun definitely won't believe me.
Sure enough, upon hearing his reply, Yun Yun narrowed her eyes slightly but nodded: "You're quite honest."
She had just taken a look as well; looking down from the cliff, the height difference and the swirling mist made it difficult to see clearly what was below the pool.
So she thought she hadn't been seen naked just now... That was her own opinion.
If he's seen naked... she'll castrate him!
"You can't come here anymore, understand?"
After a moment, Yun Yun finally put down the long sword in her hand.
"Understood." Xu Qi nodded repeatedly.
"If there's nothing else, this disciple will head back now."
He had just turned to leave when Yunyun called him back.
"Wait a minute."
"Is there anything else, Sect Master?"
Yun Yun looked the guy up and down.
She suddenly realized that in just over a month, this guy had already broken through from a three-star Dou Zhe to a five-star Dou Shi?!
That's incredibly fast!
How come she doesn't remember Xu Qi having such high talent?
Moreover, Nalan Yanran's recent insistence on annulling the engagement seems to have some element of this.
"Didn't you just say you wanted to find a place to practice your fighting skills? Perfect, then I'll test you myself and see how much your strength has improved," Yun Yun said.
