Chapter 612: Chapter 272: Ming Hu and Su Xin
"Why hasnât Junior Sister Su come out yet?"
The first rays of morning sunlight pierced through the thick fog, gradually becoming dazzling, transforming into a beautiful sunrise.
Outside a house in Wind Bell Village, Ming Hu looked back at the door with concern and said.
Su Hongling said impatiently, "Youâve repeated this hundreds of times, isnât it annoying?"
Ming Hu shrank his neck, muttering, "Not that many times."
The burly man looked like a pitiful child in front of his pretty little junior sister.
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr seemed accustomed to these interactions between the senior and junior siblings, covering their mouths giggling.
Zhou LingâEr whispered, "Caihe, I feel like this Ming Hu is particularly concerned about Senior Sister Suxin!"
Xu Caihe tapped her forehead, "Donât talk nonsense, Senior Brother Ming is only feeling guilty for accidentally injuring Senior Sister Suxin."
Zhou LingâEr nodded, "Indeed, I think Senior Brother Ming likes Fairy Su, donât you think, Junior Brother Lan?"
Zhou LingâEr turned around, only to see Mo Xiaolan sitting cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation, she shook her head:
"Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo are the same, training all day, too boring."
Over there, Ming Hu was scolded by Su Hongling and dared not speak, but he still occasionally looked back at the house.
Finally, the door opened, and a figure clad in white slowly stepped out.
"Senior Sister Suxin!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were overjoyed and got up to run towards her, but were bumped aside by Ming Hu, who instantly stood in front of Suxin, nervously examining her, awkwardly asking:
"Junior Sister Suxin, h-how is your injury?"
Suxin smiled warmly at Ming Hu, gently bowed: "Thank you, Senior Brother Ming, for standing guard; Iâm alright now."
Ming Hu was overjoyed: "Great, great!"
Looking at Suxinâs dignified and gentle face, Ming Hu scratched his head, suddenly bent deeply, his forehead almost touching the ground, loudly said:
"It was my recklessness that day, accidentally injuring Junior Sister Su, p-please hit me!"
Suxin smiled: "Senior Brother Ming, youâre too harsh on yourself. That day my Tao Heart was unstable. Indeed, I should thank you for helping cleanse my Tao Heart; I should be the one apologizing to you."
"Ah?"
Ming Hu raised his head, only to see Suxin smiling gently, her eyes like water, possessing a softness that went straight to the heart, making Ming Hu momentarily dumbfounded.
Then he was kicked aside by Su Hongling, who said to Suxin:
"Hey, are you really alright? Will it impact your future training?"
Suxin smiled and shook her head: "Thank you, Fairy Su, for your concern. Junior Brother Heâs Healing Holy Technique was miraculous; Iâm fully recovered."
Su Hongling laughed loudly, patting Suxin on the shoulder: "Thatâs good, oh right, did you take your clothes off too?"
Suxin nodded, Su Hongling looked at Qiu Zhihe with a strange expression:
"Hey, youâre okay with letting your man soak naked with another woman?"
Qiu Zhiheâs expression turned cold, but Suxin already spoke:
"Junior Brother He was urgently trying to save me; it was an emergency decision. I only have a fellow discipleship relationship with Junior Brother He, Junior Sister Ruo understands well and wouldnât blame him."
Su Hongling tutted, thinking that she got beaten up just for interrupting them doing a good thing, and wondering if Xia Qinglian wasnât jealous?
Beside them, Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were dumbfounded.
Senior Brother He and Senior Sister Suxin were naked together?
There were also Junior Sister Ruo and Junior Sister He?
What does this mean?
At this moment, Qiu Zhihe looked at the two of them, her voice flat, lacking emotion:
"Ladies, what happens here should stay here, alright?"
Xu Caihe and Zhou LingâEr were frightened by her cold gaze, repeatedly agreeing:
"Yes, yes, weâll forget everything!"
"Hey, Qiu Zhihe, this time you win. When I return to train for half a year, weâll compete again at the Immortal Ascension Ceremony!"
Su Hongling said loudly to Qiu Zhihe, holding a large hammer, before tossing the hammer into the air and flying onto it herself.
"Everyone, farewell for now, until we meet again!"
Su Hongling gracefully cupped her hands to the crowd, about to fly off on the hammer, then looked back to find her senior brotherâs silhouette missing, looking down she almost fell off the hammer.
Only to see Ming Hu still standing there dumbly, smiling foolishly at Suxin.
Ouch!
Su Hongling knocked him on the head with a hammer, grabbing his ear to fly away.
"Idiot, letâs go!"
"Junior sister, take it easy, well, Junior Sister Su, take care and next time Iâll bring more Spirit Pills for you!"
Amidst a noisy departure, the pair of senior and junior siblings finally faded into the distance.
Xu Caihe ran to Suxin, laughing, "Senior Sister Suxin, you and Senior Brother Ming really hit it off well, hehe."
Suxin corrected, "Junior Sister Xu, Senior Brother Ming and I have known each other for a while."
Zhou LingâEr also ran over, with a teasing smile, "That night Senior Brother Ming was fierce, claiming the Zhenyang Sect was full of hypocrites, yet today heâs not fierce at all in front of Senior Sister Suxin, haha, thatâs overcoming hardness with softness, right?"
Suxin looked at her puzzled, not understanding what she was saying.
"Alright, we should return to the Zhenyang Sect as well."
Qiu Zhihe spoke plainly, hinting:
"Many things should be revealed now."
Suxinâs expression halted, remaining silent.
Sitting far away, Wei Wan stood up, her expression equally solemn.
She hadnât sat with Su Hongling and others in recent days but had quietly stood guard at the village entrance, Suxin understood, looking at Wei Wan, nodding with a smile.
Wei Wan did not respond, her Qingbo Sword flew, she leaped onto it.
At this moment, a cry sounded from the sky, a large bird with red feathers and golden wings flew crookedly, rapidly descending before Qin Gengyun, raising its head and cooing.
"Oh, Phoenix? Where have you been these days?"
Zhou LingâEr realized that she hadnât seen the Phoenix in the past few days.
Unbeknownst to her, the Celestial Phoenix Maiden had taken the girls from Wind Bell Village to Celestial Phoenix Mountain, where settling them took some time. Upon her return, the Phoenix Blood imbued with Qin Gengyunâs Spiritual Power was boiling, urgently needing Qin Gengyunâs Essence for cleansing.
She finally flew back, unable to hold on, collapsing before Qin Gengyun, cooing in plea.
"Huang, you went so long, forgot the time?"
Qin Gengyun quickly squatted down, pressing his palm against the phoenixâs head.
His Essence flowed into the Celestial Phoenix Maidenâs body, washing through her meridians, eventually entering the Celestial Phoenix Maidenâs Spirit Field.
Finally suppressing the boiling Phoenix Blood.
The Phoenixâs pain faded away, swiftly standing, flapping its wings, cooing.
As if a bit aggrieved.
Qin Gengyun gently patted her head, "Alright, I understand, you worried about those girls, so stayed at Celestial Phoenix Mountain to carefully settle them, consider this a merit for you."
"Coo!"
With matters settled, everyone prepared to leave.
Just then, a girl ran out from a house, kneeling before Qiu Zhihe:
"Fairy, please take me with you!"
