Boarding Life

Chapter 782 782

Qin Qi listened to Wenren Xiaoxian's almost defensive words, and secretly laughed to himself.

So far, it seemed his mentoring was beginning to show results.

Qin Qi said with a half-smile, "Oh? Really?"

Wenren Xiaoxian blushed, "What is or isn't, it is, Qin Qi, you're just too full of yourself!"

Just then, Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming also arrived, having heard the commotion.

"Uncle Bai Ling, Uncle Huiming!"

Wenren Xiaoxian quickly changed the topic.

Master Bai Ling nodded at Wenren Xiaoxian, then looked at Qin Qi, "Qin Qi, my young friend, how was your stay at the Dao Inference Department last night?"

Qin Qi replied with a smile, "The spiritual energy within the Dao Inference Department is abundant and greatly beneficial for cultivation!"

Master Bai Ling said with a sense of nostalgia, "That's true indeed. If Qin Qi had been training at the Dao Inference Department from the start, given your talent, your future prospects would be immeasurable!"

"If only we had discovered Qin Qi's talents sooner!"

The regret in his words was obvious.

No one refuted these words.

It was a fact!

If there were doubts about Qin Qi's talent before reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage,

now, no one questioned it.

After all, reaching the Foundation Establishment Stage from the beginning in just twenty steps, that kind of talent is practically unprecedented.

It's hard to imagine what heights Qin Qi might have achieved if he had truly trained at the Dao Inference Department from a young age.

Master Bai Ling continued, "Qin Qi, if you like the Dao Inference Department, there's no problem with staying here permanently!"

Monk Huiming laughed heartily from the side, "Haha, if you want to stay at our Leihu Mountain, that's also fine. In terms of spiritual energy density, Leihu Mountain is not much inferior to the Dao Inference Department."

For them, as long as Qin Qi stayed, the matter of the Evil Demon would have a chance.

But Qin Qi immediately said, "I appreciate the kind offers from both seniors, but I still need to make a trip back!"

Master Bai Ling was slightly surprised, "Is there something that we have not properly considered? If there is, Qin Qi, feel free to tell us!"

Qin Qi smiled, "That's not it. It's just that if I am away for too long, everyone at the company will get worried!"

"I should head back to inform them first. Besides, if I really plan to head to the Demon Slaying Area, I also have to discuss it with my family and the company!"

After all, he had already intended to go to the Demon Slaying Area.

His trip down the mountain was to plan everything properly before setting out.

However, Master Bai Ling clearly didn't think so. Hearing that Qin Qi was leaving, they were very unwilling in their hearts.

On the surface, they could only say, "Qin Qi, you're right. It was our oversight. In that case, please prepare yourself, and we'll have Nephew Wenren personally escort you down the mountain!"

"Hmm, alright!" Qin Qi nodded in agreement.

Watching Qin Qi enter his room,

Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming exchanged glances.

Monk Huiming sighed helplessly, "What should we do now that this kid wants to leave?"

Master Bai Ling shook his head, "How should I know what to do? Yesterday, even Mu Ning specifically asked me about it, and I had my subordinates stall her. If the kid really wants to leave, can we stop him forever?"

Monk Huiming sighed, "If indeed we could keep him at the Dao Inference Department, we'd have a chance with soft persuasion, but once he goes back, who knows when we'd have another opportunity in the Demon Slaying Area."

"After all, we can't always chase after him, can we?"

Seeing this, the two were somewhat troubled.

Soon, Master Bai Ling turned to Wenren Xiaoxian, "Nephew Wenren, how did it go when you tried to persuade him yesterday? Is there a sign that his stance is changing?"

Wenren Xiaoxian's cheeks flushed with embarrassment for a moment.

How could she explain?

After all, she couldn't possibly tell the two seniors that she had to indulge Qin Qi to get him to agree.

For a moment, she could only say, "He didn't completely reject me. I intended to persuade him further during his stay at the Dao Inference Department for the next few days!"

Upon hearing this, Master Bai Ling seemed to see hope, "Nephew Wenren, since he hasn't completely rejected you, that means there's a chance."

"In that case, since you're already part of the Holy Maiden Association, accompany him down the mountain. Whenever there's an opportunity, try persuading him. With some soft persuasion, he's bound to agree!"

Hearing this, Wenren Xiaoxian also thought of her agreement with Qin Qi.

To her, it was not just persuasion.

She was using her body to satisfy Qin Qi.

However, considering the importance of the Demon Slaying matter, she could only let out a long sigh.

Never mind, as long as she could get Qin Qi on board with their plan, there was no turning back for her.

With that, Qin Qi simply packed up a little and exited the room.

Seeing Qin Qi come out, Master Bai Ling said with a smile, "Qin Qi, let Nephew Wenren escort you down the mountain personally."

"Uh, fine!" Qin Qi gave Wenren Xiaoxian a playful glance.

Wenren Xiaoxian, afraid that Master Bai Ling and Monk Huiming might notice her relationship with Qin Qi, immediately assumed a cold attitude towards him.

She said frostily, "Qin Qi, follow me then!"

Naturally, Qin Qi followed behind Wenren Xiaoxian.

Just like that, led by Wenren Xiaoxian, the two of them reached the peak of a mountain.

With a graceful wave of Wenren Xiaoxian's hand, a boat identical to the one previously controlled by Master Bai Ling appeared from her sleeve.

"You can control this boat too?" Qin Qi asked with interest.

Wenren Xiaoxian replied, slightly annoyed, "Not just me, anyone at the Foundation Establishment Stage can operate it. It's just a difference in the consumption of True Qi from the body."

"Going down the mountain, I can manage it; after all, it doesn't consume much mana or True Qi, but going up the mountain is another story."

Qin Qi didn't say much more and boarded the boat with Wenren Xiaoxian.

The boat took flight, swiftly descending from the mountain of the Dao Inference Department.

Wenren Xiaoxian sat cross-legged on the boat, mana swirling around her as she concentrated on steering.

The boat's area was not large, accommodating only six or seven people.

Watching Wenren Xiaoxian's serious demeanor, coupled with being high up in the air, with no one else around, an audacious thought crossed his mind.

Sitting beside Wenren Xiaoxian, he suddenly wrapped his arm around her slender waist.

This made Wenren Xiaoxian's body tremble, "W-what are you doing?!"

Qin Qi grinned, "The boat is only so big, holding you gives me a sense of security. Don't want you accidentally tossing me out!"

"At this altitude, even if I'm at the Foundation Establishment Stage, falling would make me a goner!"

Wenren Xiaoxian snorted lightly, "Look at you acting all scared. There's a True Qi barrier around the boat; unless you want to jump off, you can't possibly get tossed out!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi activated the Profound Pure Spirit Eye to check his surroundings.

Indeed, a layer of True Qi shielding was clearly visible.

Realizing this, Qin Qi happily said, "Oh, I won't get tossed out, huh? Then I can relax..."

With that, his hand, without anyone noticing, had already reached under Wenren Xiaoxian's skirt.
