Cultivation: Starting from a Mortal Bone

Although the Sect Leader had already mentally prepared herself,

when actually faced with the situation, Fang Jue found herself terribly uncomfortable, every second feeling like a year.

It was as if thousands of ants were crawling under her skin, making it difficult for her to stand at ease, and a nameless impulse surged within her, making her wish she could immediately flee.

By comparison, she would rather face those ferocious Ruins Beasts than confront her own sister.

Buzz!

At this moment, a faint and urgent buzzing broke the frozen atmosphere.

It was the Great Elders of the Cyan Mountain Sect, who were growing anxious as the Sect Leader had yet to arrive, thus reminding her in this way.

"Sect Leader, you should head to the Main Hall first."

At this moment, Liu Zixiao, who could hardly suppress her laughter, stepped in to help.

"Yes, yes, let’s go out first."

The Sect Leader, somewhat flustered, glanced at her sister and hurriedly urged Qin Yu to send her out.

Qin Yu didn’t provoke her further.

As soon as they exited the Lifebound Space, the Sect Leader dashed towards the Main Hall without looking back.

As if she wasn’t planning to go back in.

Liu Zixiao merely winked at Qin Yu and followed along.

Qin Yu sighed internally.

If the Sect Leader refused to face her, he certainly couldn’t force her, could he?

Upon learning that all cultivators with a Golden Core and above were gathering, he brought Su Xiyue and Leng Ruyu out of the Lifebound Space.

Of course, Guardian Yan Yu faithfully remained by his side.

Inside the Main Hall.

Sect Leader Su Xihe read out the decree of the Hall Master, and the elders dared not disobey.

Moreover, the Hall Master would personally attend.

This was a rare opportunity to showcase oneself in front of the Hall Master.

"Whizz!"

The Golden Core Elders turned into streams of light and disappeared into the sky.

"Let’s go."

Although Su Xihe wished to leave first, since she was unsure how to face her sister, she realized that being the strongest cultivator at the moment, it was best to stay with Qin Yu and the others to prevent any accidents.

Qin Yu wore a serious expression.

He had confidence in himself, but Su Xiyue and Leng Ruyu were still in the early-stage Golden Core.

"Yan Yu, if there’s any danger, I hope you can lend some help."

Qin Yu knew Yan Yu was his guardian, not Su Xiyue’s or the others, so he was unsure if Yan Yu would intervene.

"Hmm."

Yan Yu did not refuse; she had already received the Empress’s order to clear out the entire Ruins Rift if necessary to prevent a larger disaster.

Perhaps recent events had given the Empress a headache, and this time, the Empress’s decree carried a hint of menace, showing that the Ruins Rift had chosen the worst time to act up.

Still, Qin Yu instructed the women to stay close to him just in case.

"Whoosh!"

Liu Zixiao took out a slightly larger Cloud Ship, just enough to accommodate seven to eight people.

The Sect Leader hesitated for a moment.

In that brief pause, her good sister had already pulled her onto the ship.

Seeing this, Qin Yu brought his little fairy wife and the small demoness aboard as well.

Ah, Master Liu is the best!

In this way, the Sect Leader had no choice but to face it now.

Hehe...

Aboard the Cloud Ship, Su Xihe sat poised, her eyelids lightly closed, appearing to meditate. Qin Yu said nothing and quietly sat down beside her with Su Xiyue.

Feeling someone sit beside her, the Sect Leader opened her eyes to find the insubordinate disciple looking at her with ill intent.

On his other side, her sister Su Xiyue had her head lowered, her cheeks flushed with a bashful pink, exuding shyness.

She initially wanted to escape, but the insubordinate disciple held her by the waist.

"You!"

The Sect Leader glared angrily.

Wearing her formal attire, how dare this disciple hold her?!

This was not only an act of defiance but also... outright rebellion!

Yet Qin Yu didn’t care, holding the Sect Leader with one arm and his little fairy wife with the other, feeling utterly content.

Even becoming an immortal couldn’t make him happier than this!

"Outrageous!"

Over there, her good sister Liu Zixiao and the little demoness from the Demon Sect were both watching!

The Sect Leader, torn between anger and embarrassment, clenched her teeth.

This insubordinate disciple, did he mean to embarrass her on purpose?!

She really wanted to throw this disciple off the Flying Ship.

And that good sister of hers!

When she asked for a Flying Ship, she hadn’t thought much of it, but it turned out this was the reason?!

Fine, fine.

Just have to get back at her.

In the future.

She would no longer help this bad woman bear any burdens!

Let this bad woman be thoroughly... tormented by the insubordinate disciple!

She glared fiercely at Liu Zixiao, who was watching the spectacle, yet Liu Zixiao showed no fear, instead asking knowingly, "Sect Leader, why are you looking at me like that?"

The Sect Leader’s expression froze.

Before she could react, Liu Zixiao nudged her over toward Qin Yu, making her almost lean completely against him.

Qin Yu didn’t resist; on the contrary, he bent down and kissed the Sect Leader’s small lips.

She was stunned!

Her eyes widened, and she wanted to break free, only to see her sister looking at her.

The two sisters exchanged glances again.

Though no words were spoken, the Sect Leader understood her sister’s feelings.

Her sister didn’t blame her.

That heavy sense of guilt eased significantly, and her tense body slowly relaxed.

At some point, she closed her eyes.

"Whew... whew..."

As she finally broke free and pushed the insubordinate disciple away, she breathed a little sigh of relief, only to see Qin Yu pushing her sister down directly.

"No..."

Su Xiyue’s voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. With her sister right next to her, her embarrassment and panic were palpable, her cool face like a newly blossomed plum, now tinted with a flush, as if petals moistened by morning dew, vivid and alluring.

This insubordinate disciple dared to bully her sister right under her nose!

Whatever she saw made her pupils contract sharply, and as expected, her sister cried.

Tears streamed down.

"Insubordinate disciple!"

The Sect Leader gritted her teeth. How could she just stand by and watch Qin Yu bully her sister? She immediately stepped forward to intervene.

As for how she cried...

This part omits two hundred and thirty-one characters.

After all, a sister should protect her sibling.

From the head of the ship, Yan Yu was stunned.

So, she noted yet another transgression of Qin Yu’s in her little book.

Afterward, she stood at the bow, gazing toward the horizon.

That was the location of the Ruins Rift, and it seemed in her sight she could see that crack exist.

As an Empress’s Personal Guard, Yan Yu was well aware of how harmful the creatures in the Ruins Rift were, and even knew their characteristics and what kind of opportunities existed inside.
