14: Why am I being bothered by her disciple again?

"No, I'm fine. Did you just save me? Um... thank you..."

Yun Qingci was still a bit dazed; hearing the other person's words, she just stared blankly at the man in front of her.

With sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, those deep pupils seemed as if they could see right through her.

The gentle smile at the corners of his mouth gave off a soft feeling, like a spring breeze.

This man is really good-looking... Gu Yuan was also sizing up the Disciple of the sword sect in front of him.

Looking at her up close, Gu Yuan realized this woman's face was extremely beautiful.

She looked quite delicate and moving, a world of difference from her appearance just now when she was fighting the monsters with her sword.

Of course, Gu Yuan's focus was still involuntarily drawn to the tuft of Ahoge on top of her head.

It couldn't be helped; that Ahoge was swaying back and forth, making it hard not to notice.

But seeing this girl staring at him blankly, why did she feel a bit cute?

Gu Yuan said with a smile:

"I am Gu Yuan. You're a Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect, right?"

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Yun Qingci finally snapped out of it and looked away, her face flushing slightly.

How could she keep staring at someone like that? It was too offensive.

"Yes, I am a Disciple of the Liyue Sword Sect, Yun Qingci. You..."

Before she could finish, Gu Yuan interrupted her with a strange expression.

"Wait, Yun Qingci!? You—you are the Disciple of the contemporary Sword Immortal!?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan felt a sense of world-weariness.

He had clearly been trying his best to avoid contact with her before.

How could he still run into her Disciple now?

Yun Qingci nodded upon hearing this; she had thought the person in front of her already knew her identity.

Looking at it now, this person didn't know before saving her?

"Cough, well, since you're fine now, I'll be going first. We'll meet again if fate allows!"

After saying that, Gu Yuan prepared to make a run for it.

He now seriously suspected that the Sword Immortal might be nearby.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, Yun Qingci grabbed his sleeve.

Uh... when Gu Yuan looked at Yun Qingci in confusion, the latter said solemnly:

"My Liyue Sword Sect has always been clear about debts of gratitude and grudges. You saved me today; how can I not repay you?"

Dizzy... Gu Yuan spread his hands quite helplessly.

No, why does this girl have the same personality as her Revered Master?

Or rather, are all the people of the Liyue Sword Sect like this?

"Miss Yun, there's really no need for this. I was just passing by; it was just a small favor..."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan prepared to pull his sleeve from her hand.

After trying a few times, he found it didn't budge at all.

When he looked up at Yun Qingci, he found the girl staring at him with a determined gaze.

"No, this is the long-standing philosophy of my Liyue Sword Sect. How can I abandon it?"

Heh... Gu Yuan felt a bit of a strange sensation in his heart upon hearing this.

No, am I being pestered by her Disciple again?

"Then what does Miss Yun plan to do? You're not going to offer yourself to me in marriage, are you?"

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow and spoke with a deliberately frivolous tone.

Yun Qingci's brow furrowed slightly upon hearing this. She took a small step back and said:

"I'm sorry, you're a good person, but Qing Ci doesn't have those kinds of thoughts for the time being, so I apologize."

I... Gu Yuan felt exceptionally speechless at this moment.

I was just talking off the top of my head, and I ended up getting a 'good person' card from her?

"That's why I said don't take it to heart. You won't marry me, so, yeah, just like that. Stay safe yourself."

Hearing Gu Yuan's words, Yun Qingci muttered a few words, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it for a moment.

This person's strength is so formidable; he surely wouldn't care for her reward.

Could it be... he really wants her to marry him!?

This, how can this be? I don't even know him.

Gu Yuan looked at the beautiful face of the woman in front of him, having no idea what was going through her mind.

And Dongfang Yingxue, watching this from a distance, couldn't help but snort softly.

This Rebellious Disciple, clearly saying he liked me the most.

And then he turns around and goes to pick up a young girl, right!

Truly a hateful Rebellious Disciple... A flash of coldness once again passed through Dongfang Yingxue's beautiful eyes.

As expected, not a single word from this Rebellious Disciple can be trusted!

When she saw Gu Yuan rush up to save her just now, Dongfang Yingxue almost made a move.

However, after seeing Gu Yuan's earth-shattering strike, Dongfang Yingxue also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she was very confused as to why Gu Yuan could suddenly burst out with such a terrifying blow, it was good that he was okay.

This guy really went all out just to save a young girl.

Dongfang Yingxue naturally recognized the woman's identity as well.

The Disciple of the Sword Immortal... Dongfang Yingxue was naturally familiar with that peerless Sword Immortal.

Although for some reason the other party had suddenly stopped appearing in the world during this period.

But she hadn't expected her Disciple to come to the Immortal Burial Cave as well.

And... to be saved by Gu Yuan, it was quite a coincidence.

Just as Dongfang Yingxue was thinking, a terrifying Devilish Qi suddenly swept over.

In the next moment, the entire valley was shrouded by this overwhelming Devilish Qi.

And within this Devilish Qi, a giant Bone Dragon actually appeared in the sky.

The Bone Dragon was massive, its white bones crystal clear, emitting a powerful malevolent aura.

On its massive head, a familiar figure was actually standing.

Hmm!?

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yingxue's expression immediately changed.

Nether Moon...!

In the next moment, she no longer hid her aura and rushed directly toward Gu Yuan.

And Gu Yuan, who was still thinking about how to deal with Yun Qingci.

Suddenly the world changed color, and the pressure brought by that giant Bone Dragon made both of them feel alarmed.

Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking at the woman standing on the head of the Bone Dragon, feeling somewhat helpless in his heart.

Why did she come too?

"Gu Yuan, you go first. This Bone Dragon is definitely not something we can contend with!"

Yun Qingci's small face instantly tensed up. Holding her long sword, she stood in front of Gu Yuan and spoke firmly.

Uh... Gu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry; why was this girl so stubborn?

But just as he was about to say something, a graceful figure appeared by his side.

"Ma—Revered Master!? You... ah...?"

Gu Yuan rubbed his eyes and said in disbelief.

Because his Revered Master, Empress Qiongyue Dongfang Yingxue, had suddenly appeared here.

Dongfang Yingxue shook her head gently. Looking up at Nether Moon, she said softly:

"We'll talk about it later. Right now, I don't know what this woman wants to do either."

As for Yun Qingci, she was also completely dumbfounded at this moment.

How—how did Empress Qiongyue come here too?

And... if she wasn't mistaken, the one standing on the Bone Dragon was the legendary Demon Venerable, right?

This... Yun Qingci only felt that everything was happening too suddenly.
