Boarding Life

Chapter 744

After speaking, Qin Qi turned his head and left without any intention of staying.

Leaving only Wenren Xiaoxian, standing alone in a daze.

Clearly, lost in thought.

Soon, Qin Qi had descended from the mountaintop to the base.

All eyes in the area were focused intently on him.

However, what Qin Qi cared most about was a middle-aged beautiful woman standing beside Xue Yun. This beautiful woman wore a robe and exuded an unparalleled aura.

She was the one Wan Hao and Ming Hu referred to as Yin Que.

Yin Que’s beautiful eyes glanced at Qin Qi, "I wonder, young friend Qin Qi, what treasure did you acquire in our Holy Maiden Association’s treasure pavilion? Could you share it with us?"

Qin Qi chuckled, "If I don’t say, isn’t that fine too?"

Yin Que’s delicate brows furrowed slightly.

Wan Hao laughed heartily from the side, "Why, sister Yin Que, it seems ever since you publicly opened the treasure pavilion of your Holy Maiden Association, there’s been no rule demanding people to reveal what treasures they obtained, right?"

Upon hearing Wan Hao’s support.

Yin Que’s expression wasn’t too pleasant, but she still said, "Indeed, there’s no such rule!"

Qin Qi continued, "So now, is my performance satisfactory to your Holy Maiden Association?"

"And can I see my apprentice now?"

Yin Que’s expression darkened even more.

Her heart screamed for a way to renege, but she knew that she had set the terms, and if she backed out now, the prestige of the Holy Maiden Association would be completely lost.

After contemplating for a while, Yin Que was very unwilling but said, "Disperse, everyone. Qin Qi, come with me!"

Just as Qin Qi was about to proceed.

Wan Huarou stepped forward, "Qin Qi..."

Qin Qi understood Wan Huarou’s concern and reassured, "Don’t worry!"

After all, the Holy Maiden Association had promised him this in front of so many people; they couldn’t go back on their word at this crucial moment or cause any trouble!

Thus, Qin Qi followed Yin Que and entered the vast estate of the Holy Maiden Association.

Upon entering the Holy Maiden Association, Qin Qi truly experienced the beautiful and solemn scenery within.

Yin Que led Qin Qi to a Taoist temple and then instructed, "Xue Yun, stay here and entertain the guest. Young friend Qin Qi, please wait a moment!"

At this point, Qin Qi had no reason to be impatient. He found a chair, sat down, and waited slowly.

During this wait, Xue Yun’s eyes never left Qin Qi. Clearly, her mind was full, pondering what was so special about this man.

He managed to solve the formidable Shi Chongfeng, who had been unbeatable in the entire Martial Arts District for so many years.

Qin Qi chuckled, "Miss Xue Yun, why are you staring at me like that? What, do you fancy me?"

Though Xue Yun’s cultivation wasn’t at his level of conquest, she was still quite beautiful.

Xue Yun’s face blushed slightly, and she scoffed, "Who likes you, lecher!"

Qin Qi grinned, "Then why do you keep staring at me? By the way, is it true that your Holy Maiden Association is composed entirely of women?"

Xue Yun sneered, "Not mostly, but entirely women. Our Holy Maiden Association doesn’t allow any men to join!"

"It’s not like we can’t live without you filthy men."

Qin Qi stroked his chin, "No wonder you keep staring at me!"

Xue Yun was stunned, "What do you mean!"

Qin Qi smiled, "Isn’t it obvious? You rarely encounter any men, so it’s only natural you’d want to take a few more looks when you see one!"

"You!"

Xue Yun was so angry she gritted her teeth, "You—you talk nonsense!"

Seeing Xue Yun so exasperated, Qin Qi was inwardly delighted.

Thinking of how confrontational she had been before, he felt quite satisfied.

He just wanted to tease her a bit more.

Suddenly, a voice called out, "Master, Master!"

Qin Qi turned around and saw a familiar figure appearing in his line of sight.

This young lady was about twenty years old, wearing a long white dress, her hair in a high bun, looking completely different from the little girl in Qin Qi’s memory.

"Shuangshuang!" Qin Qi almost couldn’t help but call out.

It had been almost a year since they last met, and this young lady seemed to have matured a lot.

Wu Shuangshuang, who hadn’t seen Qin Qi for a long time, felt equally nostalgic and ran over entirely.

Qin Qi glanced at Xue Yun, "Miss Xue Yun, my apprentice and I haven’t met for a long time. We have a lot to talk about, so there’s no need for you to stay here, right?"

Xue Yun said expressionlessly, "You two catch up. What does it have to do with me? Am I in your way?"

"Oh, Miss Xue Yun wants to take a good look at me, so that’s fine. Take your time!" Qin Qi said smilingly.

"You!"

Xue Yun was so angry she could explode.

I mean, how shameless could Qin Qi be.

Until Wu Shuangshuang said with a bright smile, "Sister Xue Yun, this is my master. He won’t harm me, so you don’t have to worry!"

Hearing this, Xue Yun glared at Qin Qi, not very pleased, then turned around and left.

After Xue Yun left, Qin Qi finally poured out his long-held words, "Shuangshuang, what’s going on with you? How did you end up joining the Holy Maiden Association?"

"And your cultivation has improved so much. It’s impressive!"

Wu Shuangshuang smiled sweetly, "Back then, I was terrified when those people took me away, but the Holy Maiden Association appeared and saved me. That’s how I smoothly joined the Holy Maiden Association!"

Qin Qi sighed, "Then why did you just disappear all of a sudden? Joining the Holy Maiden Association, you should have at least informed me and your grandfather!"

"Do you know how worried we were about you?"

Wu Shuangshuang pouted, "I wanted to, but the Holy Maiden Association has strict rules. Once you join, unless you reach a certain level of cultivation, you can’t have any contact with the outside world!"

"They required me to reach Tier Seven True Martial before I can. I’m only at Tier Three True Martial now!"

"At that time, I was unfamiliar with everything in the Martial Arts District and had no choice but to join the Holy Maiden Association. How could I dare to make any other requests?"

Qin Qi remarked with a mix of laughter and tears, "Tier Three True Martial? That’s quite good. It seems the Holy Maiden Association knows its stuff! But do you have any plans?"

"Although it’s a bit troublesome, if you want to leave, I can help you figure something out. Getting you out of the Holy Maiden Association shouldn’t be that big of a problem!"

If worst comes to worst, use the Qingyang Lamp as leverage!

Wu Shuangshuang smiled, "Master, that won’t be necessary. Though the Holy Maiden Association has its rules, they’re in place to ensure I focus entirely on my cultivation."

"Otherwise, how would I have cultivated so quickly? Since you’re here, could you pass on some reassurances to my family? I’ll contact them as soon as I reach Tier Six True Martial!"

Qin Qi seemed a bit hesitant, "Are you sure about this?"

"Oh, the people in the Holy Maiden Association treat me well!" Wu Shuangshuang smiled, "Aside from not being able to contact my family, the sisters here have been taking great care of me!"

Only then did Qin Qi feel relieved.

But at this moment, Wu Shuangshuang tiptoed to Qin Qi’s side, then affectionately linked arms with him, acting particularly intimate.

"But, the only downside is not being able to be with Master..."
