Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

"Sister, when did you come back?"

Bai Yaoyin hurriedly broke free from Qin Yu’s embrace.

Normally, wouldn’t Sister be studying remnants of arrays at this time?!

Why today...?

"I saw you daydreaming at the door, so I didn’t call you."

Bai Yaosha looked Qin Yu up and down.

Is this the person who makes my sister stand at the door like a little woman waiting?

Even without the intimate behavior just now, being brought to this small courtyard by my sister says a lot.

But wasn’t my sister in love with that old geezer?

Who is this man in front of me?

Could it be, my sister and that old geezer are just putting on a show? But that’s not like my sister’s style, and moreover, offending that Master Qin is not an option!

Seeing Bai Yaosha’s strange and complex expression, Bai Yaoyin knew her sister was surely overthinking, but in her flustered state, she didn’t know how to explain.

"Who are you?"

Seeing her sister’s guilty look, Bai Yaosha directly asked Qin Yu, her scrutinizing gaze seemingly peeling away at the man in front of her.

"Your sister?"

Qin Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Honestly, that kind of gaze is unsettling, but given her extraordinary appearance, he didn’t mind.

"Mm."

Bai Yaoyin’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, like a young girl caught having a crush by her parents.

"My name is Qin Yu."

Qin Yu looked at Bai Yaosha and said.

Only then did he see clearly; the woman in front of him had skin as luminous as jade, eyes bright like autumn stars, a delicate nose, and lips slightly pursed, exuding an indescribable charm.

Her graceful figure, with its exquisite curves, hinted at hidden strength within her slender frame.

"Qin Yu?"

Bai Yaosha’s eyebrows slightly furrowed; why does this name sound so familiar?

Wait, Qin Yu?

Isn’t that the name of the old geezer Guest Minister?!

Is it him?

For a moment, the questions Bai Yaosha was about to ask were swallowed back.

Isn’t Master Qin supposed to be an old geezer? How is he so young?

Although some powerful cultivators can maintain a youthful appearance, seeing those clear, spirited eyes, Bai Yaosha couldn’t associate the young man before her with a centuries-old man.

"Is he the Master Qin who repaired an array overnight?"

Bai Yaosha’s eyes questioned her sister, and upon seeing her nod silently, the doubts in her mind were instantly resolved.

No wonder my sister waited outside the Carefree Pavilion so early; she wasn’t being fickle at all.

Reflecting on her earlier rude behavior, Bai Yaosha suddenly felt a bit awkward.

Would Master Qin take offense at her sister because of her rudeness?

"Master Qin, I’m Bai Yaosha, Yaoyin’s sister."

Bai Yaoyin tried to maintain a calm demeanor, but her nervousness was evident.

"I heard Yaoyin mention you."

Qin Yu nodded, placing his hand once again on Bai Yaoyin’s slender waist.

This time, Bai Yaoyin didn’t refuse. Since her sister had already seen it, she decided to let it be.

Besides, for some reason, after not seeing him for so long, she found herself looking forward to this kind of contact.

Bai Yaosha’s face flushed with awkwardness; she never imagined she’d witness a man being so close with her sister right in front of her.

Isn’t such an intimate gesture reserved for married couples?

Is my sister doing this because of his status, or has she already given her heart to him?

"Oh, what did she say about me?"

Bai Yaosha glanced at Bai Yaoyin, surprised.

Initiating such a conversation about herself indicates that her sister likely belongs to the latter category regarding Qin Yu.

If it were because of his status alone, her sister surely wouldn’t reveal anything about herself.

"She said you’ve been hiding for years to avoid an arranged marriage, and even she couldn’t find you."

Qin Yu said with a smile.

Hearing this, Bai Yaosha’s face blushed crimson.

As the daughter of the Bai clan leader, such a capricious act was indeed a little embarrassing.

However, Bai Yaosha and her sister had been doted on by their father since childhood, making them quite different from ordinary women, with their own opinions and personality.

They were strongly opposed to familial arranged marriages in their hearts.

Because of this, their father Bai Lan had endured immense pressure.

After some lighthearted conversation.

Bai Yaosha quickly realized the man in front of her was not as she imagined; he had no airs about him, and the conversation was relaxed and pleasant.

He didn’t mock her for avoiding marriage, rather he understood well.

In fact, on many topics, Qin Yu seemed to share her views.

This exchange left Bai Yaosha more and more surprised; if her sister hadn’t told her personally, she wouldn’t have believed that the man before her was the same highly esteemed Master by her father and the entire Bai family.

"Sister, aren’t you going to study the Ancient Array tonight?"

Bai Yaoyin saw her sister getting along well with Qin Yu, and for some reason, a strong sense of urgency rose within her.

"Hmm?"

Bai Yaosha was stunned; what does my sister mean?

This is Master Qin, after all!

If I leave now, wouldn’t it be neglecting the Master?

Moreover, Master Qin is so approachable, and there are many Array-related questions I’d like to consult him on.

Studying the Ancient Array...

Honestly, Bai Yaosha was aware of her talent; repairing an Ancient Array was impossible, and even perfecting two Array Patterns was extremely challenging.
