Chapter 400 - 59: When We Float a Big White Again
"A body cultivator who knows array formations?"
Liu Su also realized, slapping his thigh.
Array Masters are not uncommon among cultivators.
But while it’s easy to get started, mastering it is difficult.
Zhao Zhen’s mastery of array formations seems to be between the Third and Fourth Tier, which is not low.
Yet Ruo Mei saw through his Concealment Array at a glance, indicating her mastery is at least above the Fourth Tier.
"Such a powerful body cultivator, and also a Fourth Tier Array Master, that’s just too strong! Where did someone like this pop up from?"
Liu Su pinched his chin, finally starting to feel something was odd.
Mo Xiaolan transmitted sound to Qin Gengyun: "Taoist Friend Qiu is also an Array Master."
Qin Gengyun nodded, gaze fixed on Ruo Mei in the distance, transmitted back:
"As long as I can get close to her, I can determine if she’s my wife."
Mo Xiaolan nodded, suddenly smiled at him: "Taoist Friend He, it’s our turn."
Only then did Qin Gengyun remember that the next round would be between him and Mo Xiaolan.
The two exchanged smiles and leaped into the arena together.
Mo Xiaolan smiled: "Back then, we agreed to down a large drink on the day of Foundation Establishment, but never got to do it, didn’t expect we’d first have a duel today."
Qin Gengyun laughed heartily: "What’s so difficult about that?"
He took out a jar of wine from his Storage Bag, along with two cups, tossing one to Mo Xiaolan.
Mo Xiaolan caught it, surprised: "Taoist Friend He, you were hiding fine wine?"
It was the Star-Cutting Wine from Xingluo Town, renowned for its rich aroma and intense flavor.
Qin Gengyun laughed: "I bought a jar back in Xingluo Town, today we shall both get drunk!"
Mo Xiaolan held the cup with both hands and brought it before Qin Gengyun: "That won’t do, we still have to engage in Magical Combat."
Her voice was gentle, eyes like water, if not for the male disguise, one would almost think she was a girl flirting with her lover.
"This Lan Yin is too handsome, really looks like a woman!"
"Why do I feel Lan Yin and He Zhiqiu are more like a couple?"
The Outer Sect disciples were all waiting to watch a fight, not expecting the two to start drinking, feeling it was rather odd.
But watching the two was heartwarming.
More than friends, they seemed like harmonious dao partners.
Xia Qinglian looked coldly at the two clinking cups in the center, her little fists clenched tightly.
Then she silently thought, it’s okay, I asked Mo Xiaolan to take care of my husband.
No, wait!
Taking care is fine, but why drink in front of so many people?
And drink so sweetly?
As if I don’t exist?
If there’s drinking, it should be me drinking with my husband!
The sourness in Xia Qinglian’s stomach was almost spilling out of her mouth.
In the arena, Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan had finished three bowls of wine, exchanged a glance, tossed the bowls, and laughed heartily.
In that cold, snowy night, they protected and warmed each other.
In those almost lightless days, their encouragement was what kept them moving forward.
Now, they had finally walked out of that hopeless mire.
The promise made when drinking away sorrows, today was finally fulfilled.
On the day of Foundation Establishment, let’s down another big drink!
Their laughter was clear and resonant, echoing up to the clouds.
Mo Xiaolan cupped her hands: "Please!"
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands: "Please!"
Suddenly, a long sword appeared in Mo Xiaolan’s hand, spinning sword blooms, over a dozen Sword Qi like petals floated towards Qin Gengyun.
Qin Gengyun laughed, swinging his fists to dissipate the Sword Qi.
"Sure enough, you can’t defeat me."
Mo Xiaolan chuckled softly, and dozens more Sword Qi flew out, swirling and forming a massive flower, slowly pressing down on Qin Gengyun.
The flower was vibrant and beautiful, seemingly harmless, yet the surrounding disciples retreated in shock.
"Golden Core Third-Layer!"
"Lan Yin can even execute Golden Core Third-Layer moves!"
"And he looks so at ease doing it!"
"Besides me being useless, this batch of Outer Sect disciples are all monsters!"
As outer sect disciples lamented in despair, the flower descended over Qin Gengyun’s head.
Qin Gengyun raised his hands, palms supporting this Sword Qi-formed flower.
Suddenly, a violent wind erupted, nearly toppling those around.
"Hey, are you two serious?"
Liu Su shouted, while the nearby Wu Yiren looked worried:
"Brother Lan, be careful, he’s tough!"
Yet, Mo Xiaolan hadn’t reached her limit; her left hand formed a sword with her fingers, sending out several Sword Auras that struck Qin Gengyun, clinking as they landed.
The surrounding disciples were dumbfounded.
"To cast a Golden Core Third-Layer attack and still have energy for Sword Auras, that’s too strong!"
"Who dares call Lan Yin a gigolo now?"
"He Zhiqiu is a freak too, all those Sword Auras couldn’t cut him!"
"Wait, something’s off."
Finally, someone noticed something amiss; though Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan fought fiercely, they both had smiles on their faces, looking at each other warmly.
"Whoa! Could it be Lan Yin is body refining He Zhiqiu while He Zhiqiu helps Lan Yin practice moves?"
"Are they this affectionate?"
"Enough! You’re both men!"
"Can’t watch anymore!"
The outer sect disciples couldn’t take it, watching Lan Yin flirt with the princess was one thing, but flirting with the hard He Zhiqiu too?
Liu Su was entranced watching.
Goodness, it’s so delightful to ship, if not for the Saintess, I’d ship this pair!
Xia Qinglian’s face was as cold as an ancient glacier, her gaze icy enough to freeze.
Qin Gengyun, you and your confidante are truly in sync!
Have you forgotten about your wife?
This will be noted heavily, a debt to settle fiercely!
In the next incense stick’s time, the group watched numbly as the two trained affectionately in the arena.
Finally, Mo Xiaolan stopped, and the enormous flower slowly faded away.
She smiled and cupped her hands: "I’ve exhausted my Spiritual Power, Taoist Friend, you win."
Qin Gengyun smiled: "Taoist Friend Lan, you still had strength, thank you."
He knew Mo Xiaolan worried he’d lack Spiritual Power in the upcoming match against Ruo Mei and thus stopped proactively.
Qin Gengyun had to win the outer sect tournament to enter the Spirit Pill Pavilion and obtain the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill.
Mo Xiaolan walked off the arena, softly whispered to Qin Gengyun as she passed by:
"Qin Gengyun, today I’m very happy."
With that, she leapt out of the arena, followed closely by Wu Yiren, who asked concerned:
"Brother Lan, are you alright?"
Mo Xiaolan shook her head, looking towards the arena where that petite figure finally stepped out from the corner.
"Finally here!" Qin Gengyun stared at her, his heart welled with nervousness and anticipation.
Wife, is that you?
