During the day, Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, and Liu Su arrived early at the Moon Drinking Tower.
Qiu Zhihe set up the Wind Return Array in the copper mirror of the "Moon Charm" private room.
And taught Qin Gengyun how to connect spiritual power with the Wind Return Array, so that if Si Minglan used her charm technique tonight, Qin Gengyun could use the Wind Return Array to counter her.
The arrayās subtlety lies in the fact that if itās not activated, there wonāt be a hint of spiritual power fluctuation, making it completely undetectable.
Even if activated, it instantly seizes the targetās consciousness, and even upon awakening, it feels as if just a moment has passed, making it extremely hard for the target to notice any anomaly.
After teaching Qin Gengyun how to activate the Wind Return Array, Qiu Zhihe left the Moon Drinking Tower with Liu Su.
Leaving Qin Gengyun alone in the private room to wait for Si Minglanās arrival.
However, just a few steps out of the Moon Drinking Tower, Qiu Zhihe returned with Liu Su to book the upstairs room named "Moon Shadow."
Though everything had been arranged properly, given Si Minglanās cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Peak, Qiu Zhihe still felt uneasy.
If Si Minglan were to resort to direct action instead of using her charm technique, then Qiu Zhihe would expose Xia Qinglianās identity if necessary to save Qin Gengyun.
And Liu Suās Mist Spirit Eye is the best tool for surveillance.
At this moment, it was nearing 7 p.m., and Qiu Zhihe sat quietly, her round and cute face expressionless and cold.
She herself knew the charm technique well, and naturally knew what must be done to the target when casting it.
"How does that Si Minglan look?"
Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke.
During the battle where the Three Great Sects wiped out the Cyan Lotus Sect, Qiu Zhihe didnāt see Si Minglan and thus didnāt know the appearance and figure of this twentieth-ranked beauty.
Liu Su chuckled and suddenly leaned closer to Qiu Zhihe.
"What are you doing?" Qiu Zhihe frowned slightly.
Liu Su giggled and said, "I heard that Si Minglan looks like a fox spirit, very seductive!"
"Miss, havenāt you heard? Domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers. Si Minglan may not be as beautiful as you, but sheās so provocative!"
"If the young master has never seen such a fox spirit before, maybe he hasnāt fallen under the charm technique, but it might seem as if he has!"
Qiu Zhihe glared at her coldly: "If you speak any more nonsense, youāre not allowed to stay here."
Liu Su wasnāt afraid at all; she held onto Qiu Zhiheās arm: "Miss, you wouldnāt drive me away. Without my Mist Spirit Eye, how will you monitor if the young master is secretly rejoicing?"
Qiu Zhihe ignored her, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly said:
"He has already avoided the charm technique once, just replaying it is enough, no need to risk countering Si Minglan. Why would he listen to me? Could it be..."
Qiu Zhihe paused, then continued: "Hasnāt he suspected me at all?"
Being reminded, Liu Su jumped up: "Thatās right, young master is just a loose cultivator, he would naturally avoid Zhenyang Sect disciples if possible, so thereās no way he would actively provoke them, let alone risk countering them!"
Qiu Zhihe clutched her dress tightly, "He must have guessed that Iām not an ordinary cultivator, but why doesnāt he leave me?"
"Naturally because he likes you, Saintess." Liu Su shrugged:
"I think that guy might even dare to enter the Demon Sect for you!"
"Youāre not allowed to say such things!" Qiu Zhihe glared coldly at Liu Su:
"Iād rather him go to Zhenyang Sect than have him end up like master and senior sister."
"Saintess, if he really goes to Zhenyang Sect, heāll become your enemy!" Liu Su quickly said.
Qiu Zhihe pressed her lips, but said nothing more.
Alas!
Liu Su sighed, resting her chin on her hands, muttering to herself:
"Everyoneās got a romance brain, itās a headache!"
"Here she comes."
Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke, Liu Su felt a chill. Saintessās talent is extraordinary, and her spiritual sense is unparalleled. Even if her cultivation reduced significantly, this talent superpower would not weaken.
She immediately activated the Mist Spirit Eye, peering downstairs.
In the next moment, a light shadow appeared in front of her and Qiu Zhihe, like a projected image screen, showing the scene downstairs.
In the light shadow screen, the door opened, and Si Minglan walked in gracefully, her waist swaying seductively, looking like a fox spirit enchanting souls.
"Wow, this woman is so shameless!"
Qiu Zhiheās expression turned cold, Liu Su shouted alongside her.
This woman wore a strap dress with a low neckline. She approached Qin Gengyun, deliberately bending forward.
Though mentally prepared, Qiu Zhihe still felt tense, her fingers deeply sunk into the flesh atop her thighs.
"Alchemist Qin, when I heard you invited me, you donāt know how happy I was."
Si Minglan continued to be shameless, nearly leaning her body against Qin Gengyun, her voice seductive as if water would drip.
"Hiss~~"
Liu Su couldnāt stand it.
"This is way too shameless!"
Qiu Zhiheās face was gloomy, her eyes seemingly ablaze.
Fortunately, Qin Gengyun didnāt overstep, he took a step back and bowed:
"Senior Si, youāre too kind. You were so generous last night, as a courtesy, I must invite you to a feast."
"I really like a man as courteous as you, gegege!" Si Minglan suddenly advanced, pinning Qin Gengyun against the wall.
Their bodies tightly pressed together, Qin Gengyun was suddenly unable to evade.
"Oh my, this woman is a pro!"
Liu Su held her face in surprise, feeling alternately cold and hot around her, she quickly grabbed Qiu Zhihe:
"Saintess, stay calm, donāt act impulsively!"
Right then, Qin Gengyun forcefully broke free from Si Minglanās pressure, cupping his hands:
"Senior, please be respectful, how about we sit and chat over food?"
Si Minglan fanned herself, pouted her red lips:
"Ahh, suddenly I feel so hot, Alchemist Qin, donāt worry, let me take a bath first, alright?"
Qiu Zhihe said coldly, "Same old trick, wasted effort."
Si Minglan walked to the private roomās bathroom, suddenly stopped, turned to Qin Gengyun:
"Oh right, I wore something tonight, I forgot to show you."
After finishing speaking, she swiftly pulled off the outer dress, revealing the garment beneath.
"Wow?!"
Liu Su covered her mouth with both hands, her eyes wide open.
Qiu Zhiheās cheeks were flushed, gritting her teeth.
This garment, Qiu Zhihe was very familiar with.
"Isnāt this Shameful Clothes?!"
Liu Su stared in disbelief, couldnāt resist glancing at Qiu Zhihe.
This style of Shameful Clothes, Iāve seen in the Saintessās room before!
So now Si Minglan is using a trick that the Saintess has used to tempt the young master?
But surely Si Minglanās curvaceous allure gives off a completely different sensation than the Saintess in Shameful Clothes.
Can the young master withstand it?
In the light projection, Qin Gengyun seemed mesmerized, gazing at Si Minglan with infatuation.
Si Minglan sashayed like a cat towards Qin Gengyun, her laughter enchanting, the twoās distance shrinking.
The next moment, the light projection from the Mist Spirit Eye vanished.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly glared at Liu Su, her gaze as if ready to devour someone.
Liu Su spread her hands innocently: "Miss, my spiritual power is all exhausted."
