Boarding Life
Chapter 857: Fulfillment of the Vow
Bai Qingju couldn’t understand the meaning behind the two’s words, his heart was anxious.
Just hoping to hear his master say that there’s no time to see Qin Qi.
"Master, why are you bothering with this kid? Just kick him out directly!"
Qin Qi crossed his arms, "Holy Maiden, drive me out? Sure, best to kick me out of Tianqing City."
"I, Qin Qi, can’t survive outside Tianqing City."
Bai Qingju laughed heartily, "Kid, you’re just a wildling from the Martial Arts District, outside Tianqing City, you’re nothing!"
"What, you really think Tianqing City can’t function without you?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Qingrou angrily reprimanded, "Shut your mouth!"
Bai Qingju jolted.
His own master actually telling him to shut up?
His master always loved him, and this was the first time he was being so harshly scolded to stay quiet!
Bai Qingrou took a deep breath, "Qin Qi, I am certainly aware of the promise. However, why rush now?"
Qin Qi replied coldly, "Not in a rush? Holy Maiden, are you planning to drag this out three to five years until you can fully control me, right?"
Bai Qingrou’s eyes trembled.
This Qin Qi was so savvy, he even guessed her thoughts?
Her disciple was really too naive compared to him.
Qin Qi sneered, "Holy Maiden, I advise you to stop these thoughts."
"You want to drag this, but I don’t have the time. In short, today!"
"If today the Holy Maiden does not fulfill the promise, I’ll turn and leave. Then, the Holy Maiden will have to see if I, Qin Qi, am willing to agree to you!"
"By then, I’d be curious to see if the Heart Demon pledge will come true on you, Holy Maiden."
Bai Qingrou bit down on her teeth, her anger reaching the extreme.
This Qin Qi was threatening her!
She, the dignified Holy Maiden of the Tianlan Sect, a mighty figure at the Core Formation Stage, was actually being threatened by this Foundation Establishment Stage junior?
Her face turned exceptionally unsightly, yet she knew Qin Qi spoke quite reasonably.
She could only say coldly, "Qin Qi, I’ve never said I wouldn’t fulfill the promise. You are just anxious. But I’m actually quite busy at the moment, how about we talk about this tomorrow?"
"I promise, no later than tomorrow!"
Qin Qi spoke solemnly, "Saintess Bai isn’t willing to keep me here, but I believe City Lord Feng wouldn’t mind, right!"
Trying to preserve Bai Qingju while not breaking promises to me?
No way!
Bai Qingrou clenched her fists.
This Qin Qi insists on destroying her disciple!
She realized clearly that Qin Qi was not someone she could easily manipulate.
Currently, he even had City Lord Feng behind him; if truly pressed, this Qin Qi might seek refuge in Holy Wood City, leaving her nowhere to cry.
However, she also recalled her disciple had placed a bet with Qin Qi.
She was exceedingly conflicted for a moment.
After a long time, Bai Qingrou reluctantly changed her tune, practically squeezing words out through her teeth, "Fine... Today, it is. I actually have a bit of time now, Young Qin Qi, come with me!"
Bai Qingju opened his eyes wide, "Master, what do you mean?"
"I’ve just sworn the Heart Demon oath in a bet with this kid, you could totally say you don’t have time."
At this moment, Bai Qingju was completely despairing.
Because, losing to Qin Qi was less painful compared to the betrayal of his own master!
His master was always so affectionate to him.
He was always so compliant with his conditions.
Why today, would it be for a Qin Qi, willingly making himself kneel?
Was it that he had already lost the love of his master?
Bai Qingrou was both loving and angry toward Bai Qingju, she could only transmit her voice, "Qingju, today your master is indeed left with no choice. I really have some circumstances constrained by this kid!"
"Thus, fulfill your promise today. In the future, your master will definitely help you regain face."
"A real man can bend and stretch, and I hope you understand your master’s difficulties!"
After finishing speaking, Bai Qingrou turned aside without looking at the embarrassing scene of Bai Qingju kneeling later.
Qin Qi watched with an amused grin, "Brother Bai, apologies, it seems you lost again. And now, quite a few people are watching over here."
"I suppose maybe you sent them that sound transmission? What’s this, you have a penchant for letting others watch you kneel?"
Bai Qingju heard this, already enraged!
Now, he was so furious that blood sprayed from his mouth.
He forcefully suppressed the urge to fight Qin Qi, kneeled again before Qin Qi.
Bang bang bang!
Incredibly, he knocked his head three times!
Many disciples of Tianlan Sect who saw such a scene were greatly amazed.
"What is going on?"
"Bai Qingju, a candidate for the next Holy Son of our Tianlan Sect and one of the most outstanding talents."
"Why is he kneeling to this kid!"
"Who exactly is this kid!"
Bai Qingju certainly heard these discussions clearly, remembering these were the people he specifically summoned to watch.
He wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
The three kowtows had exhausted Bai Qingju’s spirit, breaking his mental defense on the spot, causing him to faint directly.
Qin Qi leisurely said, "Fainted again? Tsk tsk!"
Bai Qingrou saw this scene, feeling a pang of heartache, suppressing her anger deep within.
"Alright, alright, Qin Qi, you just wait!"
Saintess Bai squeezed her fists tightly, "When the conflict ends and you have no more usefulness, then let’s see how you can be unruly!"
"Really think a single City Lord Feng can safeguard you?"
Face worn with forced calmness, "Someone, take Qingju away!"
Qin Qi naturally saw the hatred Bai Qingrou bore toward him.
Yet outwardly, he still wore a serene smile and said, "Holy Maiden, isn’t it time for you to fulfill the promise now!"
"I think, if Brother Bai knows you gave up on him today to engage in dual cultivation with me, I wonder what he would feel!"
Bai Qingrou transmitted coldly, "Qin Qi, dare to tell Qingju, and I won’t let this go!"
Qin Qi showed no external reaction.
But inwardly, his eyebrows raised, a new plan gradually emerged.
This Bai Qingju evidently was Bai Qingrou’s soft spot!
Bai Qingrou coldly brushed her sleeves, "Follow me!"
Upon saying that, she stepped forward, leading the way, Qin Qi following closely behind.
Soon, the two left the martial arts field, arriving at Bai Qingrou’s residence in Tianqing City.
Bai Qingrou’s residence was an exquisite pavilion.
The pavilion wasn’t large, but it was perfectly sufficient for solitary cultivation. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Bai Qingju was worried about being discovered, once arriving, he looked around and expanded his spiritual consciousness.
Then, he set up an array, finally daring to say, "Follow me inside."
