gulp—!
Walking meekly behind the strange woman, Bai Qing could not help but gulp nervously.
Previously, she and her junior martial sister went out to complete a task from her sect and luckily found a Foundation Establishment Pill. On the way back, though, they were ambushed by the people of the Lightning Tiger Sect.
They were tailing them all along!
When all hope was lost, somehow this woman appeared and easily took care of those people, including an elder of that sect. She even healed the two.
Too strong!
'So this is the composure of a Fusion Stage cultivator...'
Bai Qing and the little martial sister looked at the woman's back in admiration. In reality, Kierra didn't even know what a cultivator was, she'd barely calmed the girls down after chasing that man away.
Kierra was thanked repeatedly, then got an offer to follow them so they could 'repay this debt'. Needless to say, Kierra agreed. She had nowhere to go anyway.
''So, what did that man do?''
Suddenly, Kierra spoke, her step never stopped.
''You mean...?'' Bai Qing asked.
''Literally, what spell did that man cast? I've never seen it before.''
''Eh? Erm...'' Bai Qing pondered. ''I think he just made a dragon out of his qi...?''
The three fell into a brief silence as Kierra was processing what in the hell was 'qi'.
''...Firstly.'' Kierra said. ''Calling that thing a dragon is an insult to real dragons. Got it?''
''Y-Yes...!''
''Secondly, explain to me what 'qi' is.''
(꒪⌓꒪) (꒪⌓꒪)
'Huh?'
The two girls were confused as hell. Was she trolling?
''So... qi is essentially the life force that exists in all things. It can be cultivated by people who are qualified and be used for many things...'' Bai Qing explained anyway.
''The energy inside your body right now is also qi?''
Kierra turned back and stared at them expressionlessly.
''Y-Yes. Um... are you testing us...?''
''Yes, so what happened was—'
Bai Qing told the whole story to Yu Chen, who quietly listened, only frowning when the ambush was mentioned.
''...I see. So that was what happened...'' Yu Chen said quietly; glimpses of cold murderous intent could be seen in her eyes. ''Don't worry, Bai Qing; I will not tolerate this kind of behavior from them.''
''M-Master...!''
''I will make them pay the price. Let me use [Divine Sight] to look for them.''
Bai Qing watched intently, and admiration filled her eyes. [Divine Sight] was a skill almost exclusive to her master, allowing her to peer into far distances—an omniscient eye!
Yu Chen's eyes began to glow intensely.
''Hm... it seems as though they are back at their sect.'' Yu Chen said.
''They seem quite angry.''
''Exactly. And... Hm?''
The two people of Qinling looked blankly at Kierra, whose left eye now had a brilliant golden color.
(꒪⌓꒪) (꒪⌓꒪)
''What?'' Yu Chen tilted her head in confusion.
''What?'' Kierra asked back.
⌈Clairvoyance—7★⌋—a spell that Kierra frequently used. It allowed her to peer into far distances, which... was basically the same as Yu Chen's skill.
'''' ... ''''
'''' ... ''''
Silence filled the room.
Bai Qing was seriously thinking about the possibility of the woman in front of her being an Immortal! What bullshit is this?!
Yu Chen was equally stunned. She didn't at all imagine that there would be a day in her life when her skill would be used by somebody else.
The silence didn't last for much longer, though, as Yu Chen had finished looking for her enemies' positions.
''In any case, allow me to say thank you, Kierra.'' Yu Chen bows her head lightly toward the woman in the chair. ''My disciples are very precious to me; I don't know how to repay you enough...''
Bai Qing gasped. She had never seen her master bow her head before, not even to the sect leader! Who was Yu Chen? The genius of the millennia, the Phantom Sword of Yunluo, and the hope of the White Lotus Sect!
''If so.'' Kierra replied calmly. ''I need you to answer me a few questions.''
'Let the fun begin.'
Kierra was ready to learn everything about these 'cultivators'.
