“Have you heard that Senior Sister Ye led the righteous faction to destroy a branch of the Demonic Sect this time.”

“The Demonic Sect lost two Deputy Hall Masters and five hundred Devil Clan disciples in this battle. She made a great contribution.”

“That’s right, Senior Sister Ye is the pride of our Holy Maiden Sect. If only I had half of her strength!”

“By the way, I heard that Senior Sister Ye brought back an injured man this time. Do you know the relationship between that man and Senior Sister Ye?”

“I don’t know.”

“I have never seen Senior Sister Ye so flustered before. That man should have a close relationship with Senior Sister Ye.”

“No way, doesn’t Senior Sister Ye have an engagement with Senior Brother Xiao Yichen? And she’s so close to another man?”

“Is Senior Brother Xiao being cheated on?”

“Don’t talk nonsense. If Senior Brother Xiao heard what happened, it would be troublesome.”

Just as several disciples were discussing in a low voice, a figure suddenly appeared.

Seeing this figure, those female disciples who were discussing turned their gaze to the man and greeted him, “Greetings, Senior Brother Xiao.” He also greeted them back and asked, “What were you guys talking about just now?”

“Nothing, nothing,” they responded.

“Senior Brother Xiao, are you here to find Senior Sister Ye?”

“Well, I heard that Qingcheng destroyed a branch of the Demonic Sect, so I came to congratulate her. Where is she?”

“Senior Sister Ye is on Wuchen Peak.”“Okay, I’ll go find her.” Xiao Yichen stated, and he flew to Wuchen Peak on his sword. Seeing Xiao Yichen flying toward Wuchen Peak, a female disciple suddenly came back to her senses and said, “Oh, no, Senior Sister Ye and that man are still on Wuchen Peak. Senior Brother Xiao will see them!”

Thinking that Senior Brother Xiao liked Senior Sister Ye so much, if he saw Senior Sister Ye with another man on Wuchen Peak and that they had been together for three days, he might go crazy!

On Wuchen Peak, Qin Lu failed to catch up with Ye Qingcheng, so he had to walk back to his room. Although he failed to complete the task this time, the task was delayed for a year, so he still had time to complete the mission.

However, a year was neither long nor short. If Ye Qingcheng went into seclusion for a year, he wouldn’t be able to find her, even if he wanted to be killed by her. Therefore, he decided to stay here at the Holy Maiden Sect so that he would be close to her.

Since he had nothing to do, Qin Lu began to look around the room. It was obvious that this was a woman’s room. Although there weren’t many things inside, the room was filled with a faint fragrance.

This smell was the same as the fragrance on Ye Qingcheng’s body. It smelled very good. You do not even have to think too much or inspect it; this was definitely Ye Qingcheng’s room just from the fragrance.

Just as Qin Lu was sizing up the room, an aura suddenly caught his attention. He thought that Ye Qingcheng might have returned, so Qin Lu hurriedly walked out of the room. However, just as he walked out of the room, he happened to see a figure slowly landing on the peak.

Seeing this young man, Qin Lu’s face instantly changed. Xiao Yichen is the male protagonist of this book. He is the Child of Destiny! More importantly, he had liked the female lead since he was young.

It would be strange if the male lead’s vinegar jar didn’t flip over when he saw another man suddenly appear in the female lead’s room.

Before Qin Lu could speak, Xiao Yichen’s face instantly darkened. A powerful aura emanated from his body. “Who are you? Why did you come out of Junior Sister Qingcheng’s room?” he asked coldly, with killing intent in his tone.

F*ck, the male lead’s vinegar jar really flipped over. Before he could say anything, he had already suppressed him with his power.

Even though Qun Lu was already in the Core Formation stage. Xiao Yichen was in the Golden Core stage, so how can he fight him?

[F*ck, I might die here. I didn’t mean to anger the male lead. How will I complete the mission if I get killed by him.] Qin Lu was trying to think about how to get out of the situation.

Finally, he thought of a solution.

“I think you must be Xiao Yichen, Senior Brother Xiao. You are indeed a dragon among men!”“I am Ye Qingcheng’s distant cousin. My name is Qin Lu.”

“I also just came to find my cousin, but she is not on Wuchen Peak. Senior Brother Xiao, do you know where my cousin went?”

“Distant cousin?” Xiao Yichen was stunned.

He finally put out his aura, put a smile on his face, and said, “It turns out to be Cousin Qin Lu. Sorry, I misunderstood you just now. This is a small greeting gift to show my respect.”

With that, Xiao Yichen waved his hand, and a bottle suddenly flew toward Qin Lu.

Qin Lu stretched out his hand and caught it. When he opened it, he saw that it was a Level Four Breakthrough Pill. This pill was very helpful for breaking through from the Core Formation stage to the Gold Core stage. Presumably, Xiao Yichen speculated that he was in the Core Formation stage and might need it, so he gave it to him. Sure enough, this male lead is too generous.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao.”

“Since Junior Sister Ye is not here, then I won’t disturb you. Goodbye.” Xiao Yichen decisively left on his sword.

“Take care, Senior Brother Xiao.”

Seeing Xiao Yichen fly away. Qin Lu’s expression and tone changed. “What a stupid male lead.”

After sending off the male lead, Qin Lu walked back to Ye Qingcheng’s room. When he returned, he directly put a Gathering Qi Pill into his mouth and began to cultivate.

Although he was able to trick the male lead this time, it wouldn’t take long for him to know what was really going on.

When the male lead comes again to kill him, he won’t be able to withstand his attack with his current strength. If it was the female lead who wanted to kill him, he would definitely oblige without hesitation. But if it were the male lead, he would not agree.

Last time, he was almost stabbed to death by the branch hall master. This time, there should no longer be any accidents like that.

The medicinal power of the Gathering Qi Pill quickly took effect. Qin Lu fully refined the power of the Gathering Qi Pill and transformed it into his own power.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was evening.

After taking three Gathering Qi Pills in a row, Qin Lu’s strength had improved to a certain extent. Just as he was about to take the fourth Gathering Qi Pill, an aura caught his attention. When Qin Lu raised his head, he saw that a person wearing a white robe had appeared in front of him.

Ye Qingcheng has come back.
