Chapter 20 [020] Let Her Do It

The moment the girl finished speaking, the snow-white bandage suddenly restrained Wang Yao's wrist, forcing the man to spread his hand open, revealing his palm.

Shi Qing put the white sword back into the scabbard and held the hilt like a stern teacher holding a ruler.

But this ruler is a bit thicker than ordinary ones.

"The first foot." Shi Qing hit down with force, and the sound of a cold and hard object hitting the palm of his hand suddenly rang out around him.

The Fiery Mountain is vast, but even so, you can hear the echo, which shows how hard Shi Qing hit.

In just one second, Wang Yao's eyes turned red. The burning pain made it almost impossible for the man to utter a complete sentence.

"You, you dare—" hit me.

Before he could finish the last two sentences, Shi Qing struck again, "Second foot."

Wang Yao's cries of pain instantly spread throughout the area, attracting disciples from other sects to cast curious glances in that direction.

The man glared at Shi Qing fiercely.

Facing that extremely ferocious look, Shi Qing remained indifferent and calm. He raised the long sword in his hand and said word by word: "The third foot."

The punishment is three feet, and the punishment is complete.

Shi Qing turned around and warned coldly: "If you violate this rule again, you will be punished by thirty feet."

After saying that, all the snow-white bandages wrapped around Wang Yao were retracted, and one of them even secretly rubbed Cangying.

Cangying understood, then raised her head slightly, raised her eyebrows and said to Wang Yao and the others, "The punishment is over, you can leave. We will not mention what happened today to the headmaster, and I hope you will not do it again."

Wang Yao's palm hurt so much that he almost lost consciousness, and all the features on his face were twisted together, but facing the rules and Sanqing Mountain, he could only endure the humiliation of today.

"I will never forget what happened today!" The man stared at the group of people in front of him, his eyes passing across their faces one by one.

Finally, he looked at Shen Xiang, who had been hiding behind the three people—the little beauty who attracted him at first sight.

With a fierce look and a cold smile.

"Let's go!" Wang Yao growled, and turned and left with the other four.

Chen Xiang felt uneasy when she was looked at by Wang Yao.

She pursed her lips slightly and shrank back unconsciously.

She was very familiar with that look.

In the real world, any man who is attracted to her, no matter who he is, likes to show her the kind of smile that a hunter finds his prey, which is morbid and terrifying, and he wants to possess her.

It's okay that Wang Yao is a handsome guy. The men who once loved her were either gloomy and yandere or evil and domineering. Although scary, at least they have good looks. They are handsome in their own ways, which doesn't make people too repulsive.

However, Wang Yao was an ordinary man with rat eyes. When he showed this expression, she felt like she was being stared at by the dirty things in the gutter. The thought of it made her feel nauseous.

*
The moment Wang Yao and the others left, Shi Qing whispered to the three of them, "Okay."

"Run."

Chen Xiang: "? Why are you running?"

Cangying said in a deep voice: "Stop talking nonsense, just go!"

Zhongli Jin: “…”

The four of them found a small stone cave and rested for a while. The cave was only six meters deep and could be seen at a glance, but it was a little cooler.

"Can you tell me now?" After getting away from where they were, and making sure that Wang Yao and the others couldn't catch up with them, Shen Xiang stared at Shi Qing and asked, "Why are we running?"

Cangying coughed lightly, "The punishment just now... is nonsense. We don't have that power at all."

Shen Xiang: “…” An egg could fit into her surprised mouth.

Zhongli Jin: “…”

When Shi Qing said to run quickly, the boy had actually guessed it vaguely, so he was not too shocked.

He took the pill and gave it to Cangying: "Thank you two senior sisters for what happened just now. This is Fiery Mountain, it's very hot, you will feel much better after taking this."

"Oh, it's okay, Junior Brother. We are relieved to see that you and Junior Sister are safe!" Cangying was extremely embarrassed and waved her hands pretentiously. She took the pills handed to her by the young man, ate one herself, and threw the other to Shi Qing.

"Jia Ziying." Shi Qing complained about her and took the pill.

"Lingbing Pill." Cangying kicked Shiqing. After taking the pill, she could accurately tell its name just by tasting it. "This is a high-level pill!"

Her eyes lit up: "Junior brother! When did you learn how to refine it?"

Having been with Zhongli Jin on Jinping Peak for so many days, she had no idea that the young man had already started refining this kind of top-grade high-level elixir!
Zhong Lijin smiled and said, "One month before the secret realm opens, I thought of preparing some elixirs, just in case they might be needed."

[I'm really optimistic about this girl. She's also very talented in alchemy. She seems to like you very much. Junior, would you consider it? ] The old man said with a smile.

Zhongli Jin: […Senior.]

"But! But! Isn't this a lie?! Although it feels good, but--" Chen Xiang looked at Shi Qing, "Where are your principles?!"

Although she has only been here for more than a month, she can occasionally hear stories about the vicious female supporting characters from other senior brothers and sisters. The most recent classic story is that she stepped into the Giant Python Peak and actually rushed to ask for punishment, because rules and principles cannot be violated!

Shi Qing nodded and hummed softly, "Principles cannot be violated."

Chen Xiang was dumbfounded: "Then you——"

"In principle," Shi Qing added.

In principle, principles cannot be violated.

Shen Xiang: “…”

Zhongli Jin: “…”

"Seeing that group of disciples from Cang Yue Mountain deliberately bullied you and Zhong Lijin, we have to get revenge. Principles are not worth mentioning when it comes to helping fellow disciples to avenge themselves." Cangying shrugged and said, "Sanqing disciples cannot let others bully them for nothing. That's why we don't have the saying of taking a step back and the world will be brighter."

Shen Xiang: “…”

Zhong Lijin smiled in understanding: "So that's how it is."

Sanqing Mountain adheres to principles, but principles can be broken.

Therefore, although the head of Sanqing emphasizes rules, he also allows violations within the scope that does not touch the bottom line, such as giving special care to young people.

The head of the sect is like this, not to mention Shi Qing who has been influenced by him since childhood.

Seeing that the young man was chatting with the second female Cangying in a good atmosphere, Shen Xiang, who was ignored, began to feel unbalanced.

She is the heroine!
How could they leave the heroine aside? !

[System! Is there any way to get these two people away? ? How can I create an ambiguous space with the male protagonist if they are here? ! ]

[This...maybe the host has to figure it out himself. ]

Shi Qing: “…”

She heard what her junior sister was thinking.

The disciple of Cangyue Mountain named Wang Yao seemed to have dirty thoughts towards Junior Sister, and Junior Sister was very afraid of him now.

Shi Qing stretched out his hand and was about to check on the body of his junior sister.

But the other party opened his hand cautiously: "Don't touch me!"

Shen Xiang, who was brainwashed by spiritual power when they first met, did not like being forcibly examined by Shi Qing again.

She hates anyone or anything that forces herself on her.

The girl opened his hand with a palm, and the back of his hand suddenly turned red, but Shi Qing remained calm and said lightly: "Okay."

Junior sister is still angry now, so don’t let her get close to her. Then wait until she calms down before getting close to her.

Shi Qing also stepped back tactfully.

After avoiding Shi Qing, Chen Xiang immediately ran to Zhong Lijin, separated the boy from Cangying, held Zhong Lijin's arm, and said, "Since everything is fine, Junior Brother Zhongli and I will go first!" Zhong Lijin: "..."

He originally thought that Shi Qing and the others would be able to take Junior Sister away when they arrived, but looking at the girl's expression, did she still want to follow him?
Cangying looked at Shen Xiang disapprovingly: “Junior sister, you sneaked in. According to the rules, we have to send you out.”

Each sect can only send out five people, and no excess number is allowed.

Chen Xiang applied what he had learned: "Yes, in principle, there can be no more than five people, but if I am sent out now, won't other sects think that Sanqing Mountain's supervision is not strong enough? Moreover, the extra person is also a disciple of Sanqing. It is easy for people to suspect that the elders deliberately let him in, and then sent him back under the pretext of exceeding the number of people when the opportunity arises. By then, won't it damage the credibility of Sanqing Mountain?"

Cangying: “…” Headache.

——This naughty child!!

Master!!! Look at your own daughter!!!
I am thinking about losing your face and prestige all day long!!

Zhongli Jin pulled his hand out of Chen Xiang's arms, took two steps back, and tried to avoid getting too close to her. He said softly, "But little sister, you saw it just now. If I'm in danger, I can't protect you."

He spoke in a very soft voice, and to Cangying and Chen Xiang's ears, it sounded like the helpless sigh and self-denial of a person who had fallen from a mountain into the abyss at the bottom of the valley.

A slightly bitter smile also appeared on that handsome and fair face. His slightly drooped eyes allowed one to clearly see the boy's distinctly upturned and slightly curled eyelashes.

Cangying's heart seemed to be hit by a blow from the down-and-out innocent and beautiful boy, and her heart was beating "bang bang bang" as if someone was beating a drum inside.

Shen Xiang also feels a little guilty about being a hindrance, but if they don’t spend time together alone, she can’t create an ambiguous space, and it will be difficult for her to make the male protagonist fall in love with her.

"It's okay, I can protect you!" Shen Xiang said.

I just held hands intimately with the male protagonist, and the system rewarded me with some points, enough to exchange for props at the critical moment.

At this time, Shi Qing on the side suddenly spoke.

"Let's go."

"Leave? I won't leave!" Shen Xiang refused directly.

"It's not you." Shi Qing said. The bandage on her arm twisted like a little snake, slowly swam towards Cangying, wrapped around her wrist, and rubbed it, "Let's go."

Shi Qing wanted to go with her, Cangying frowned: "What about the little sister?"

"Let her be." Shi Qing said calmly, expressionless and indifferent.

She turned and left the cave, her back determined, as if she really would not say a word to persuade her junior sister anymore.

Cangying's wrist was held by Shiqing's bandage, and the small strips of bandages gently scraped against her skin. Cangying sighed helplessly: "Okay."

"Then Shi Qing and I will go somewhere else. Junior Brother Zhongli, Junior Sister, please be careful." After saying that, she also left the cave.

When Chen Xiang heard Shi Qing's somewhat resolute words "let her be", she was slightly stunned.

She thought that the vicious female supporting character Shi Qing would be the most difficult one to deal with, and she was ready for a protracted battle. However, before she could say a few words, it was Shi Qing who was the first to give in and leave her alone.

Let her be.

Having chewed the hardest bone to chew, she should be happy because she can be alone with the male protagonist.

But watching Shi Qing turn and leave, Shen Xiang's heart suddenly felt like it was pricked by a needle, and it hurt for a moment.

Although the pain disappears quickly, the aftereffect is so strong that I feel sad whenever I think about it.

...Wait! Why is she sad? !

She shouldn't be sad!

Isn't it the female supporting role who fully demonstrates the indifference of her character at this time? !

That's right!

Chen Xiang suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and turned his gaze back to Zhongli Jin. Unexpectedly, he found that the boy was also looking at Shi Qing's back.

【senior.】

【What's wrong? 】

The young man sighed softly in his heart: [I always have a bad feeling. ]

【…】

really.

The moment Zhongli Jin and Chen Xiang left the cave, the young man noticed two pairs of eyes following him and his junior sister.

"..."

——I knew that those two wouldn’t really keep Junior Sister here.

*
"I thought you really wouldn't care," Cangying complained in a low voice, "We are just like thieves."

On a cliff more than thirty meters above the ground, Shi Qing was standing in the air with a sword, and Cangying was sitting sideways on the sword. The two of them were staring at the two people walking on the ground and protecting them secretly.

"I can't help it," Shi Qing said in a cold voice, "Junior sister, you are so willful."

Cangying nodded, thinking that the junior sister was indeed too willful.

"The troubles and messes she made in the past, either you have to deal with them, or the headmaster has to help clean them up." She rubbed her temples with a headache: "When will she grow up?"

Then he changed the subject, "You and the Sect Leader should bear the main responsibility for her current condition!"

Shi Qing: “……?”

"She is so unscrupulous just because she thinks she won't suffer any punishment! You should reflect on yourself!"

Shi Qing: “…”

Um...I'm sorry.

*
There were not many disciples wandering outside the Fiery Mountain. The air was too hot, forcing them to find caves to cool down before continuing on their journey.

Seeing Zhongli Jin and a beautiful female disciple from Sanqing Mountain walking on the Fiery Mountain with normal expressions, someone couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Daoyou Zhongli, aren't you afraid of the heat?"

"Of course I'm afraid," the young man smiled and said in a gentle voice, "It's just that I took the elixir."

"Elixir? What elixir?"

Zhong Lijin said: "Lingbing Pills can lower body temperature to the most suitable state. They are usually used to relieve the internal heat generated during training. I didn't expect that they would be useful here."

After hearing his words, the disciple said shyly: "Then, can you please give me one, Brother Zhongli? I don't want it for nothing! Here are a few fire talismans for you to exchange!"

"Sure, but you don't need the fire talisman." Zhongli Jin smiled: "Take it."

The boy is handsome and has a gentle temperament. Even when he fell to the bottom, he seemed to have never forgotten his innocent heart and was kind to others.

The sect disciples had also secretly talked about Zhongli Jin behind his back before. After all, when such an outstanding genius passed away, some people would feel pity and pity, some would sigh that the talent was envied by the gods, and some would gloat over his misfortune and feel happy and balanced, as if they were proud.

This disciple felt more like envy than jealousy, a little regretful, but mostly relieved.

Unexpectedly, when he spoke to Zhongli Jin for the first time, he was slightly touched by the boy's easy-going and gentle nature.

Zhongli Jin is like a pure snow lotus that grows and blooms between the chaotic heaven and earth.

Leave a touch of soothing coolness in this hot world.

At this moment, the disciple suddenly hated himself for being narrow-minded.

"Thank you, thank you." His face slightly reddened as he thanked the young man.

"You're welcome. See you again if we're lucky." Zhongli Jin's eyebrows were as beautiful as a painting, and his eyes were slightly curved as he continued to move forward.

When Shen Xiang saw the admiration and amazement in the disciple's eyes, alarm bells immediately rang in her heart - [Damn it, system! I won't still have to compete with men? ? ! ]

system:【……】

It was too careless. This world is simply hell-level difficult to conquer.

System: You are too careless. The gentler a man is, the more he will unconsciously show affection everywhere, and the harder it will be for him to be attracted to others.

Here I come!!! I was a bit busy today!!! So I'm late!!! Private Marseille!!! Still asking for some collections, comments and votes!!!
