Chapter 228: The Formal Disciple Grand Competition
The wooden window creaked open, letting a cool breeze sweep through the room and dissipate the lingering, humid heat of the night.
Jiang Chen lay back on the bed, his arms behind his head, looking at the woman beside him.
“Senior Sister,” he asked lazily, “the Formal Disciple Grand Competition starts today. Considering how late you kept me up last night… are you not planning to participate?”
Yu Caiqing shook her head while adjusting her robes. “If I participated, it wouldn’t be a competition. It would be bullying.”
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow. “Are you really that confident?”
The corner of Yu Caiqing’s lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile. “Over these years, I have roamed the outside world searching for rare medicinal herbs. I have walked through fire and blood.”
Although the title of a Cloud Sea Sect formal disciple deterred most trouble, the world was vast and dangerous. Loose cultivators desperate for resources would block roads to rob and kill. Monsters would ambush from the shadows.
Most of the time, she had traveled alone.
Without true, tempered skill, she would have died long ago.
