Chapter 438: Chapter 71 Junior Sister, You Actually Hid This from Me Chapter 438: Chapter 71 Junior Sister, You Actually Hid This from Me Shi Liuli left in a huff.
An Zhisu’s delicate face was frosted with cold, clearly displeased as well.
Lin Duanshan and the others were also tactful enough to quickly take their leave and return to their quarters.
Feeling anxious, Ling Yunpo thought that he couldn’t just sit by and watch Luo Yan suffer-after all, no matter how tragic Luo Yan’s situation would be tomorrow, in the end, it would still fall on his own head.
“Senior Sister An,” Ling Yunpo then tried to persuade her, “you shouldn’t be cross with that Shi Liuli.”
“Why shouldn’t I be cross with her?” An Zhisu retorted angrily, “You obviously told her not to lose too badly, and not only did she not appreciate it, but she also turned around and accused you of being frivolous and disrespectful.
Where is the logic in that?”
“Oh dear.” Ling Yunpo also felt a headache coming on, mainly because Miss Shi really was misjudging others by her petty standards-“Shi Liuli is notoriously unruly…”
He only got halfway through his sentence when he saw An Zhisu staring at him directly, her tone odd as she said:
“Junior Brother, why do you say ‘her temperament is just like that’?
And from your tone, it seems like you’re quite familiar with her?”
Ling Yunpo: ???!!!
This is bad, speak too much and you’ll slip up!
His face showed a hint of surprise, but then he smiled and said:

“Senior Sister, do you remember the dazzling purple starry sands Shi Liuli unleashed during today’s competition?”“Of course, I remember.” An Zhisu looked at him deeply, as if to say “keep talking.”
“It’s like this,” Ling Yunpo said soothingly, “I think although Senior Sister’s swordsmanship is outstanding, if you were to face Qiu Changtian’s Five Thunder True Law, or Xu Yinglian’s Great Bright Fire, relying solely on the Flying Sword would still be a weak strategy.”
“Seeing Shi Liuli’s starry sand Magical Treasure today, I took quite a liking to it and thought of getting a similar large-scale Magical Treasure for Senior Sister, to help you defend yourself.”
“Hmm, I specially inquired about it and found out Shi Liuli’s father is an elder of the Penglai Jade Pure Heavenly Craft Workshop, and since the Workshop is renowned for making artefacts, if we could forge a good relationship, perhaps we could get a suitable Magical Treasure for Senior Sister…”
Seeing An Zhisu’s expression change, Ling Yunpo hastily added:
“Of course, not by getting close to Shi Liuli, but Luo Yan.”
“Luo Yan?” An Zhisu asked, puzzled.
“Exactly, Luo Yan.” Ling Yunpo continued earnestly, “Senior Sister, do you realize what it means for Luo Yan to have the ‘Heavenly Craft Hundred Treasures Bag’?”
“What does it mean?” An Zhisu had been completely led by his line of thinking and couldn’t help but ask curiously.
“It means that he is the future heir of the Heavenly Craft Workshop.” Ling Yunpo explained matter-of-factly, “As long as we get on good terms with Luo Yan, obtaining a Magical Treasure would be a piece of cake, right?”
“Junior Brother, that’s very considerate of you.” An Zhisu was somewhat moved, “Senior Sister doesn’t really need any Magical Treasure…”
“Senior Sister,” Ling Yunpo saw he had finally resolved the matter and immediately seized the moment to urge, “Exactly for that reason, I showed mercy in today’s match because Shi Liuli is Luo Yan’s Senior Sister, and if I had beaten Shi Liuli too badly, it would have been a loss of face for Luo Yan, which would have been of no benefit to us, right?”
“As long as we can win the grand competition, it’s fine to give up a few points in the matches.
Don’t you agree, Senior Sister?”
“Um, indeed.” An Zhisu was slightly delighted.
So, Junior Brother wasn’t trying to get close to Shi Liuli, he was doing it for me…
“Senior Sister, you should rest early too, I’m going to practice my breathing,” Ling Yunpo didn’t pursue the matter any further, to avoid overdoing it, and climbed into bed to begin his Qi Refinement practice.
An Zhisu stared at Ling Yunpo’s profile with a dazed look for a moment.
Ah, Junior Brother still cares about me after all.
She sighed in her heart and also climbed into bed, settling down next to Ling Yunpo to begin her meditative concentration.
The next day.
Ling Yunpo and An Zhisu left the thatched cottage, following the crowd into the White Jade Capital Secret Realm.
Apart from a few Cultivators practicing in the nearby pavilions, most people had already gathered in the plaza of the White Jade Capital, waiting to watch the first fight, which would be Qiu Changtian versus Guan Shanyue.
Although for different reasons, both brother and sister didn’t want to watch Qiu Changtian’s battle, so they went off to a nearby place to practice.
Since Senior Sister An was in a good mood, the two didn’t exchange blows as they had the day before, but simply honed their swordsmanship to warm up.
Qiu Changtian seemed to be as fierce as ever, and it didn’t take long before Senior Sister An’s flying sword flew from her hand.
“It’s my turn,” An Zhisu said, standing to leave.
Ling Yunpo immediately followed.
After Senior Sister An and Luo Yan had both left the stage, he pondered for a moment but decided not to watch this match.
Lest he observe how Luo Yan fought his enemies and, when it came time to impersonate Luo Yan in the future, had to rehearse the script all over again!
He leaned over and asked Guan Shanyue:
“Senior Sister Guan, how did the last match turn out?”
“Qiu Changtian is really not easy to deal with,” Guan Shanyue sighed, “Your senior sister might not be his match…
Hmm, don’t tell her I said that.”
Oh, Guan Shanyue lost.
This was within Ling Yunpo’s expectations, so he sighed and said to Lin Duanshan and the others:
“That Luo Yan would be no match for Senior Sister An…
I won’t watch.
I need to adjust my state and get ready for the next match against Xu Yinglian.”
After speaking, he directly controlled his sword to leave.
Arriving at the first pavilion, there were already groups of cultivators practicing and sparring, which showed the White Jade Capital competition indeed bolstered the “martial spirit” of the Three Pure Orthodox Sect.
Ling Yunpo paid no attention to them but found a corner of the stands to zone out in, his mind reviewing Junior Sister Xu’s fighting style.
Logically, what the Shushan Sword Immortals most dreaded was Daoist magic like the Great Bright Fire, with its sweeping area of effect.
You wouldn’t even know where to direct your Flying Sword.
However, Ling Yunpo didn’t know how many times he had crossed swords with Xu Yinglian, and naturally, he was intimately familiar with the weaknesses and counters to the Great Bright Fire.
The only thing to be cautious about was whether Junior Sister Xu might have a hidden ace that even her brother didn’t know about, waiting to play it at the competition to seal the victory.
Ling Yunpo thought for a long time until the sword in his hand began to shine brightly, snapping him back to reality.
Forget about secretly hiding aces…
I believe Junior Sister Xu certainly wouldn’t do something so false.
Ling Yunpo controlled his Flying Sword and swiftly headed toward the White Jade Capital square, only to see that Xu Yinglian had not yet arrived.
Lin Duanshan and others were all smiles, chatting with An Zhisu outside the arena.
Senior Sister An, her attention elsewhere, nodded wearily toward him, seemingly having secured a hard-fought victory.
Tch, after all, Luo Yan only has one-fifth of my strength; it’s normal that he couldn’t beat Senior Sister An.
So, Ling Yunpo descended and closed his eyes to rest.
About several dozen breaths later, a fairy in white gracefully arrived from afar and landed gently on the ground.
It must be said, as strong as Senior Sister is, Xu Yinglian definitely had a more impressive entrance.
Dressed in a white robe, like a celestial maiden flying from beyond, whose showy entrance did she learn from…?
Ling Yunpo’s mind whirred as he gave a clasped-hands salute.
Xu Yinglian did not speak, only bowing in return.
Such aloofness was also within Ling Yunpo’s expectations.
So after saluting, he launched the Green Duckweed Sword straight away.
Man-Sword Unity!
The Green Duckweed Sword’s light surged by several feet, shooting towards Xu Yinglian like a meteor.
?????.??
It pierced through her chest before she could react!
Hold on, that’s not right?
Ling Yunpo suddenly realized the feeling of impact was off; how could his Junior Sister be so lacking in size?
Well done, Junior Sister Xu, you really did have a hidden card up your sleeve!
As the thought arose, he saw Xu Yinglian’s figure collapse, turning into a large cluster of scattered flames.
In the distance behind him, Xu Yinglian reappeared in the midst of the flames, already preparing a Daoist formula:
“Floating Morning Light, shine forth ten thousand zhang!”
The Great Bright Fire, bearing a sweeping momentum, pressed down with overwhelming force!
