Chapter 992: Chapter 462: Acquiring the Earth Gourd; Domineering Master (Part 3)

Chen Ye nonchalantly withdrew his hand. Not bad, after flicking Qing Jun for so long, flicking Zhiwei gave him a different kind of freshness.

“Uh…” Zhiwei felt some pain and looked at her Master in confusion, then suddenly said softly, “Zhiwei is not Qing Jun…”

This fell on her Master’s ears,

and he felt it carried a hint of childishness.

Chen Ye unceremoniously said:

“In front of Master, you are all the same. Even if you become a great power admired by everyone in the Lingxu Realm, Master’s flick will still come whenever needed.”

Hearing this, Zhiwei was slightly startled, her tense face thawed like spring snow, revealing a gentle smile she hadn’t even realized:

“Master… truly, too domineering.”

Oh?

The girl actually dared to talk back.

Chen Ye glanced at her and snorted:

“Domineering is as domineering does. Since you know, why not start refining it? Or do you want to wait here for it to acknowledge you by itself?”

Zhiwei’s expression grew serious, and she stopped hesitating.

“Disciple obeys.”

The young girl sat cross-legged, holding the bright yellow Earth Gourd Sword in her palms,

“Great Evolution Wind Thunder, Supported by Earth… Rise!”

In an instant, dazzling bright yellow divine light burst forth, illuminating the small courtyard like flawless yellow jade.

The three small gourds floating around Zhiwei simultaneously erupted in three-colored hues of blue, red, and blue, swirling around her.

The four colors of flowing light connected end to end, evolving into earth, water, wood, fire… then wind and thunder roared, yet were all subdued by the heavy khaki divine light.

The previously mentioned feeling of “emptiness” Zhiwei talked about vanished instantly.

Wind and thunder roared on the ground but could no longer escape the support of the earth.

“Good understanding.”

Seeing this, Chen Ye, sitting beside her, flashed a genuine look of admiration in his eyes.

Four swords together, integrating offense and defense.

Although Zhiwei’s current cultivation is still shallow, once this Great Evolution Wind Thunder Sword Array is laid out, even an ordinary late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator might meet their end if trapped inside.

“Tch, just four Gourd Swords are already this terrifying. If she obtains the Golden Gourd… not to mention the strongest Wind Thunder Gourd, she could be invincible within the Golden Core Realm.”

Chen Ye internally mused.

Currently, the wind and thunder in Zhiwei’s sword array are only simulated through her spiritual power.

If she obtains the Wind Thunder Gourd Sword, she would truly possess the power of the heavens’ wind and thunder.

…

A night of cultivation.

Next day.

“Hoo…”

The black-haired girl opened her eyes and exhaled a long, clear breath from her mouth.

She extended her hand, and the four small gourds obediently danced around her fingertips.

“Thank you, Master, for bestowing the sword.”

Zhiwei stepped forward to the chair, only to find that Chen Ye was already gone, leaving only a note on the table and a bottle of still warm and fragrant Nourishing Yuan Pill.

On the note were just a few words written with iron brush and silver hook:

“Once finished refining, come downstairs. Qing Jun is fussing about wanting breakfast.”

Zhiwei looked at the note and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a beautiful arc.

She paused, somewhat nervously glancing around, before daring to tuck the note into a jade box and carefully store it in her Storage Bag.

“A bit… hard to contain.”

Her heart was palpitating.

The girl’s palm caressed her chest, planning to take a good look at the Memory Stone Qin Jiaming had sent again tonight.

Because… because she wanted to repay the kindness!

Yes, repay the kindness!

Once she saw that Memory Stone, she would be filled with boundless motivation for cultivation.

If she wasn’t strong enough,

in the future, when Master is humiliated, she would just have to watch helplessly…

She must strive diligently to cultivate!

If in the future, Master is humiliated again, even if she can’t turn the tide successfully, she must at least be by Master’s side!

Meanwhile, at the foot of the bamboo building.

“Darn Master! Qing Jun is almost starving!”

The little girl was rubbing her belly with a pitiful expression, humming discontentedly.

“Last night, I saw you gobbling down three bowls of Spirit Rhinoceros Brewed Meat, and yet just a few hours later, you’re starving?”

Chen Ye was leisurely sitting on a wicker chair, holding an ancient book, not even looking up while retorting lightly.

And Jin’er was sitting beside her Master, propping her chin, watching the ancient book in her Master’s hands, and then added softly: “Senior Sister Qingjun, better to be starving than overstuffed…”

“That’s not the same!”

Qing Jun righteously stood up, puffing out her small chest, glaring at Jin’er, and loudly explained,

“Yesterday was yesterday’s stomach, and today is today’s stomach! Besides, last night in my dreams, I diligently practiced the Bite Master Divine Skill, which consumed a lot of Qi-blood!”

“Oh? Bite Master Divine Skill?”

Chen Ye put down the ancient book, looking at this little rascal with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, squinting his eyes dangerously, tapping his knuckles lightly on the table.

Qing Jun stiffened at the familiar sound of knuckles, the courage she had painstakingly gathered last night shrinking instantly.

Her eyes darted, and she immediately pounced, hugging Zhiwei, who had just come down the stairs,

“Wow! Senior Sister save me! Master is bullying us bright and early!”

Zhiwei helplessly looked at the little one clinging to her leg, then looked up to meet Chen Ye’s eyes, thinking of the tragic image of her Master in the Memory Stone and comparing it to his current serene demeanor.

The girl’s heart thumped from the provocation… and from her indignation.

She couldn’t help but avert her gaze, reaching out to ruffle the little girl’s head:

“Qing Jun, do not slander Master.”

“Master, good morning. Let this disciple prepare breakfast with Qing Jun today.”

Chen Ye noticed the evasive look of the black-haired girl, feeling a bit puzzled.

Why did this girl look somewhat guilty?

Oh… she likely realized that yesterday’s words were too sentimental, so she felt embarrassed today?

He picked up the ancient book again, casually saying:

“Alright then, go ahead. Since your Senior Sister is here, you can start. By the way, Qing Jun, if today’s breakfast isn’t tasty, Master might indeed use the Violent Flick Divine Skill.”

“Hmph, Qing Jun is like a worm in Master’s belly!”

The little girl was brimming with confidence, pulling her sister’s hand as they dashed towards the kitchen.

And outside the Divine Mist Valley, the dense fog that had lingered for years finally dispersed on this day.

The establishments were about to be reorganized, and the sword array had obtained its fourth part.

The vast Lingyin Sect was destined not to contain the brilliance of Cangli Courtyard!
