Ding! Child of Destiny Ye Qingtian's heart was struck, and he felt very frustrated. The host is rewarded with 2000 points.
Ye Qingtian awkwardly took the grilled fish. He felt very disappointed. He had originally wanted to use this grilled fish to apologize to his Senior Sister, but he didn't expect Senior Sister Chu Yan to dislike it.
Seeing Ye Qingtian's downcast expression, Chu Yan remained silent.
However, after Ye Qingtian finished eating the fish, Chu Yan took out the fifth-grade treasured sword and handed it to Ye Qingtian.
She had already inspected this treasured sword; there were no remnant souls or artifact spirits, it was just a relatively sharp weapon.
"Ye Qingtian, this is for you. In the future, don't run around recklessly. Because it won't be every time that I'll be there to save you."
Ding! Ye Qingtian felt shocked in his heart. The host is rewarded with 2000 points.
Ding! Ye Qingtian felt guilty in his heart. The host is rewarded with 2000 points.
"I caused Senior Sister to become like this, yet Senior Sister still gave me a treasured sword. Senior Sister must like me."
Hearing this inner voice, Chu Yan's mouth twitched, and she said nothing.
"Senior Sister Chu Yan, I also have a gift for you."
Ye Qingtian took out a jade bottle from his spatial ring. After opening it, a fragrance emanated from within.
"Senior Sister, it was after consuming this golden liquid that I became very strong."
Ye Qingtian handed over the bottle.
"Hehe, after consuming this golden liquid, one's entire body will emit strong ice-cold Qi and fiery Qi. The first time I took it, the fiery Qi burned off all my clothes. This time, I can see Senior Sister without clothes."
Chu Yan raised her eyelids, took the jade bottle, and then smiled, "Such a precious thing, are you willing to part with it?"
"I caused trouble, yet Senior Sister still put aside past grievances to save me. Moreover, you even gave me a treasured sword. My small gift is truly nothing in comparison."
Ye Qingtian looked at Chu Yan with deep affection.
In his heart, he had already considered Chu Yan his future wife.
Ding! The System detected the Blood of the Ancestral Dragon.
Attribute: Dual attributes of Water and Fire.
After consumption, it can allow the host to awaken dual attributes. However, after consumption, clothes will burst. Does the host wish to spend 1000 points to offset the side effect?
"Yes."
Chu Yan smiled as she looked at Ye Qingtian, a cold sneer already in her heart. "Kid, still want to see me exposed? Dream on."
However, this Blood of the Ancestral Dragon was a good thing; it could allow her to awaken dual attributes. With the fire attribute, she could also Cultivate Alchemy and Artifact Refining skills in the future.
In addition, that Cultivation Technique for dual cultivation of water and fire could also be put to use.
Chu Yan poured the drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood from the jade bottle into her mouth, then sat down to Cultivate.
Ye Qingtian was extremely excited. "Senior Sister Chu Yan actually consumed it right in front of me, hahahaha, I'll watch my fill in a moment."
As the Blood of the Ancestral Dragon entered her lower abdomen, Chu Yan felt two energies, one cold and one hot, spreading through her Dantian, transforming her body.
From Ye Qingtian's perspective, a layer of frost first appeared on Chu Yan's body. Immediately after, the frost rapidly melted. Her skin turned crimson, like a burning charcoal.
Ye Qingtian clenched his fists and widened his eyes. "It's coming, it's about to happen!"
However, at this moment, the crimson on Chu Yan's skin slowly receded, then transformed into a normal rosy color.
"This, how could this be?"
Ye Qingtian was very disappointed. Why didn't Senior Sister Chu Yan's clothes burst?
Chu Yan opened her eyes at this moment, then smiled as she looked at Ye Qingtian, "Thank you, Junior Brother Qingtian, I feel my strength has greatly increased. However, why do you look unhappy?"
"Hehe, it's nothing, Senior Sister. It's good as long as you find it useful."
Ye Qingtian forced a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Mm, good. Let's head back tomorrow."
The next day, the two walked back.
When they were still a mile from the Qingmu Sect entrance, Chu Yan instructed Ye Qingtian, "Because of you, we submitted the mission late this time. If the Elders knew the truth, you would definitely be expelled. So, we must unify our story and say that we encountered a Red-tailed Snake during the mission, and we couldn't avoid it and were chased by the Red-tailed Snake... It took a long time to shake it off. Understand?"
"Understood."
Ye Qingtian nodded.
He had originally thought that by giving Chu Yan this drop of golden liquid, he had done her a favor. But now that Chu Yan said this, his fate was still in Chu Yan's hands.
If Chu Yan said that Ye Qingtian himself provoked the Red-tailed Snake, leading to both of them encountering danger, then the Law Enforcement Elder would definitely expel him from the Qingmu Sect.
Sure enough, after the two registered at the Qingmu Sect mountain gate, they were led by the guarding Disciple to the Law Enforcement Hall.
The two were interrogated separately.
"Chu Yan, Ye Qingtian. You two submitted your mission one day late. Moreover, you returned together. What exactly happened during this mission? Explain in detail."
The Law Enforcement Elder looked at the two sternly, holding a brush and parchment, ready to record.
"Reporting to Elder, it was like this."
...Chu Yan and Ye Qingtian each provided their statements.
After reading them, the Law Enforcement Elder found no problems. He then said, "Alright, since you encountered a Red-tailed Snake group, there's nothing that could be done. In the future, be more careful when performing missions."
"Yes."
Leaving the mission hall, Ye Qingtian nervously said to Chu Yan, "Senior Sister Chu Yan, you must keep it a secret for me."
"Hehe, don't worry."
Chu Yan smiled sweetly, then turned and left.
"Senior Sister Chu Yan, so beautiful!"
Chu Yan's smile as she left captivated Ye Qingtian.
He suddenly thought, now that he and Senior Sister Chu Yan shared a secret, did it mean that their relationship was even closer?
Ye Qingtian didn't know that the matter between him and Chu Yan quickly reached Luo Xing's ears.
"What, the two of them went on a mission together, encountered a Red-tailed Snake, and fell off a cliff?"
Luo Xing's eyes instantly turned red. A man and a woman, alone in an isolated place for about half a day. Would something happen between them?
Luo Xing dared not think further; he felt his head had turned green.
"No, I'm going to find Chu Yan and ask her clearly."
Chu Yan was at her room door, about to open it, when she saw Luo Xing walking over furiously.
Hehe, the show begins.
"Chu Yan, what happened between you and Ye Qingtian?"
Luo Xing's first words were an accusation. His tone of voice was as if he were Chu Yan's husband.
"What does it have to do with you? The Law Enforcement Elder has already finished his investigation, what else do you want to do?"
"You, don't you know the proper distance between men and women? Show me your cinnabar mark."
Luo Xing reached out to grab Chu Yan's wrist.
