Chapter 752: Chapter 59 Yuanci Seablock_2 Chapter 752: Chapter 59 Yuanci Seablock_2 Qin Lingxiao was standing beside Wang Ba, staring at his handsome profile, unable to articulate the sudden surge of emotion moving through her ââŹâ like a rush of hot blood.
âWangâŚ
Wang Ba, I heard that your Wanxiang Sect consists of more than ten thousand peaks.
Which one do you belong to?â
The two of them had never spoken to each other before, their conversation had strictly been limited to escaping the predicament they were in.
This was the first time she initiated a conversation with Wang Ba.
Wang Ba, without a second thought, scanned the calm sea.
He thought about his upcoming return to West Sea Country, to the Wanxiang Sect, to Wanfa Peak where Bu Chan and Wang Yiâan were waiting for him.
...
His heart instantly filled with joy.
He casually answered, âHmm, itâs a small, unknown peak, you probably havenât heard of it.â
Despite being ready for this response, Qin Lingxiao still felt startled.
How was she supposed to respond to that?
However, having already broached the subject, she wasnât ready to give up due to her determined nature.
In spite of the nervousness she felt, she pressed on, âSoâŚ

are there many people on your peak?â
Upon hearing this question, Wang Ba couldnât suppress a rare smile and said, âNot many, Iâm the only disciple on my peak.â
âYouâre the only disciple?â
Qin Lingxiao was surprised and puzzled, but her mind was spinning rapidly.
She quickly devised another question, pretending to ask casually: âThen you must frequently interact with other cultivators, right?
After all, we cultivators need to exchange cultivation experiences to progressâŚâ
Upon hearing that, Wang Ba immediately shook his head.
He didnât have many acquaintances in the Sect.
While he knew most members of the Spirit Food Department, after fulfilling his duties there, he often stayed on Wanfa Peak, focusing on his own cultivation and nurturing his Spirit Beast.
Qin Lingxiao was slightly disappointed with his reply since it wasnât what she was expecting.
However, she didnât get discouraged.
Her delicate eyes hinted at her rapid thoughts, but on her lips was a light-hearted jest: âThen, you donât have any friends you normally exchange cultivation experiences with?
Or, are there simply no female cultivators in the sect that you like?â
âFemale cultivators I like in the sect?â
Wang Ba wasnât suspicious.
He was about to escape danger and he was in high spirits.
He didnât feel the same consciousness to maintain distance as before.
Smiling with ease, he said,
âThere isnât any female cultivator in the sect who would even look my wayâŚâ
Upon hearing this, it felt to Qin Lingxiao as though sheâd just taken a cold drink on a hot summerâs day â it left her feeling refreshed.
However, maintaining her composure, she quietly brushed her hair, which had been tossed by the sea breeze, behind her ear.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she tried to console him:
âDonât say that about yourself.
Itâs not that they arenât interested, itâs simply that they donât understand your qualities.
If they really knew you, theyâd definitely be fighting over each other to get youâŚby the way, IâŚI have many sisters.
They all look pretty good, and their cultivation base and talents arenât bad either.
Do you have any specific preference?
Perhaps, I can introduce you to one of them?â
âIntroduce me to someone?
What kind of standards do I like?â
Wang Ba was slightly stunned, and then he couldnât help but laugh when he noticed that the other party didnât seem to be serious and seem to be joking.
Loosening some of his innate caution, considering the strong bond they had forged after going through so much together, he pretended to consider it and then replied with a smile, âWell then, how about someone similar to my cultivation partner!â
âSomeone similar to your cultivation partner would beâŚ
similar to your cultivation partner?!â
The smile that was on Qin Lingxiaoâs face the moment before instantly froze.
âWhatâs wrong?â asked Wang Ba.
âNo, nothingâŚSo you already have a cultivation partner, huh?
How oddâŚI donât recall you ever mentioning it beforeâŚâ
Although Qin Lingxiao managed to maintain a smile, her mind went blank as if sheâd been hit over the head and tossed into the ocean.
She didnât know what she was saying and felt as though she had suddenly been cut off from the world.
The fingers that were twirling her hair unconsciously lowered and retreated into her sleeve.
The fingertips dug into her palm.
In her ears, she could vaguely hear some words, like a distant echo:
ââŚTogetherâŚfrom the very beginningâŚHer name is Bu ChanâŚHe is a boy named Yi An, nicknamed LiuliangâŚNow itâs been seven months and five days.â
ââŚweirdâŚthat shouldnât be the case!â
Hearing the sound become clearer, Qin Lingxiao felt as though she was being hauled up from the depths of the sea and instinctively raised her head:
âWhaâŚWhat?â
The current Wang Ba wasnât as relaxed as before, he was staring at the sea with a serious look in his eye.
âWhy hasnât the strength of the elemental magnetism decreased here?
It seems to have increased instead.â
Qin Lingxiao was disoriented.
However, when she realized the elemental magnetism on the surface of the sea was growing denser, she immediately snapped out of her daze.
Her gaze instantly became focused and she quickly began thinking: âThe elemental magnetism has increased?
Could we have gone in the wrong direction?â
No, unless we turned back accidentally and ended up near the barrier again, based on the black spots marked on the map, we are going in the right direction.
There shouldnât be any more barriers in the way.
At most, we might end up landing in the south or southeast of the West Sea Country.
Logically speaking, as the distance between us and the barrier increases, the elemental magnetism should decrease.â
Wang Ba had a grave look on his face.
Confident in his memory of the map, he still decided to take out the original map as a precaution.
After carefully inspecting it, he pointed at a place to the upper right of the black spot.â
âHere, there is a group of islands.
If Da Fu follows the direction weâve set, we should arrive there within two days based on our current distance.â
Qin Lingxiao couldnât take her eyes off Wang Ba as he contemplated the map.
But a sharp pain in her heart made it impossible to concentrate.
