My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 964 - 555: You Think You Can Come at Me That Easily? (Double Length)

On the third level of the theater building, Zhao Tong and other Daoists from Dragon and Tiger Mountain were discussing with the Saint Heirs of the White Lotus Sect.

Coincidentally, Chen Yi was also in discussion on his side.

Her gaze remained very cold, even given the current situation, there was little fluctuation to be seen in her eyes, and certainly no sign of good humor.

Some strands of hair were sticking to her cheek, and as Chen Yi reached out to brush it away, she slapped his hand down.

Chen Yi frowned slightly but didn't get angry, and slowly asked, "Why are you here?"

"That's what I should be asking you." She replied.

Chen Yi lowered his gaze, understanding that the question she wanted to ask was far more than just this one, there were many more, so he smiled and said, "I don't intend to answer."

"Coincidentally, neither do I." She said.

Chen Yi's lips curled in amusement, ever since he entered the Third Rank, he no longer avoided Zhou Yitang's sharpness, the title of master had gradually become less burdensome, especially since now she was under the identity of an ordinary female cultivator from Yin Sword Mountain.

With a swift move, Qing Yuan was dragged over. She instinctively froze in place, only to find out that she was unable to do anything against Chen Yi's strength, and was pulled into his embrace.

"Are you crazy?"

"You're just a little maid, what's the harm in taking a bit of advantage?" She had transformed into Qing Yuan's current appearance, similar in height to Lu Ying, significantly shorter than her previous image, making her look quite demure.

Though this current appearance was quite ordinary, Chen Yi knew that she was originally of exceptional beauty, so even if her current look was unpleasant, it would still merge with the image in his memory, creating a kind of hazy beauty.

"Let go." She said coldly.

The rebellious disciple not only didn't loosen his grip but rather pressed against her from behind, saying quite roguishly, "I won't."

Qing Yuan's breathing was slightly rapid, angrily she shouted, "There's someone upstairs!"

"Just as well."

Chen Yi leaned back onto the chair, pulling her onto his lap.

Even if he couldn't see her face, he could still feel a coldness as if frost, and Chen Yi suddenly felt nostalgic, during times of tension in their past life, he would occasionally hold her like this, humiliating her as if she were a little girl, she was taller than him, still his master, so it looked especially awkward.

However, Chen Yi didn't care in the least.

Unconcerned as he was, Qing Yuan couldn't push him away despite wanting to, and said coldly, "You're poking me."

Chen Yi silently adjusted the position of his sword hilt.

Though Qing Yuan's whole body was stiff, it wasn't entirely; though it wasn't relaxed either, she simply couldn't struggle for the time being. Chen Yi guessed she'd actively suppressed her cultivation, constrained by the situation here and unable to easily release it.

The room suddenly fell silent, the couple awkwardly reunited after a long time of separation, neither knowing what to say.

After a long while, unusually, she spoke first, "Dragon and Tiger Mountain is here seeking a sword."

"...for that Sword Array?"

"Exactly, the Three Five Evil-Slaying Sword, they are seeking the Male Sword, which is right here. As for the Female Sword..."

"Seems like it's… the Tai Sha Sword," Chen Yi asked back, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

"Telling you these things is useless."

"Useless? Clearly you didn't want to tell me so early, even saying it now is just to reveal the tip of the iceberg, arousing further curiosity." Chen Yi laughed and said, "Do you think I can't see through you?"

"You indeed cannot see through," Qing Yuan paused, "because you are lustful."

"I am lustful but I do not trust you."

"Now you don't even trust your master anymore, I don't know who you trust," Just as Chen Yi was about to mockingly retort, she continued leisurely, "Yin Tingxue, Min Yuechi, Yin Weiyin?"

Chen Yi blinked.

"Zhu E, Min Ming, Qin Qingluo, Consort Dong, Lin Wanxiao, Donggong Ruoshu?"

Reeling off the names as if reading a list of valuable treasures.

Chen Yi felt quite embarrassed, and could only pretend not to hear clearly by coughing twice.

Come to think of it, she hadn't mentioned Lu Ying in her words, was it because of Lu Ying's current Selfless State of Mind, or because she thought nothing could develop between them under her watchful eye?

The thought flashed by in an instant and then returned to the topic at hand. Chen Yi scratched at the pendant cord at his neck and slowly said, "What exactly is Dragon and Tiger Mountain plotting? Surely you know their quest to reclaim the sword isn't solely to confront the White Lotus Sect, no matter how formidable the divine entities behind the White Lotus Sect may be."

Qing Yuan's face remained calm, "I am aware."

"And yet you assist them, Zhou Yitang... What are you plotting exactly?" Chen Yi tried to soften his tone, "You and I, master and disciple for two lives, you know me, and I know you, why not tell me about such important matters?"

"I had planned to tell you."

"Oh?" Chen Yi was very skeptical.

"Lu Ying traveled south, and I've nearly comprehended the true essence of Cangwu Peak's teachings, eliminating most of my worries. The reason for temporarily withholding the information was your propensity to impulsively intervene, leading to unexpected changes. And now that I've almost prepared everything, only the final push is needed..."

At this point, she suddenly fell silent for a moment, and after a while, asked in a calm voice:

"That night, why didn't you stay?"

"...Your behavior was too abrupt, first admitting faults, then boldly showing me the Sword Array, offering hugs and kisses, and finally saying you'd come find me that night. It was too clumsy, definitely with ill intentions," Chen Yi paused and chuckled, "If I had stayed, who knows whether I'd end up in the Northern Dynasty?"

She didn't respond.

Chen Yi was momentarily stunned and said, "Did you really mean to make a move against me?"

In the darkness, Qing Yuan suddenly turned her face to him, responding with a cold sneer.

Chen Yi was not intimidated in the slightest, and directly kissed her on the face.

She furiously glared at him, but found she was powerless against Chen Yi, snorted coldly, and intentionally sat deeper down.

Chen Yi suddenly felt a bit fluttery. The more he outgrew Zhou Yitang, the more she displayed human characteristics, it was the same in their past life and is the same now, just like when he first entered the sect, behaving shamelessly.
