142: Chapter 142 Can you even call that repairing?

"Zixing, did you..."

Liu Qingyan cast her gaze back onto Bai Ruotong's tiny body.

Standing before Mo Zixing, she displayed an intimate posture she had never shown before.

It was obvious.

The two of them had already crossed that line.

"Ahem."

Mo Zixing cleared his throat, turned his head away, and began admiring the sky over Qingdan Peak:

"You know, this is because my treatment method is rather unique. It couldn't be helped."

"That may be so, but Sect Master Bai is in this state now. Did you really..."

Liu Qingyan sighed, but she was interrupted before she could finish.

"What's wrong with the way I am?"

Bai Ruotong instantly bristled upon hearing this.

She broke free from Mo Zixing's hand, gestured in a circle over her chest, and glared defiantly at Liu Qingyan:

"Once I find a way to change back to my original form, I'll be much bigger than you are now!"

Jiang Yuwei stood to the side.

She stole a glance at Liu Qingyan's figure, then looked down at her own.

Holding Mo Zixing's hand, she couldn't help but squeeze it a little tighter.

"And what do you mean by 'it couldn't be helped'?"

Bai Ruotong said, turning to look at Mo Zixing, and gave his arm a playful punch:

"You said before that you would never ignore me. You weren't just trying to placate me, were you?"

Seeing her baring her fangs and claws like this, Mo Zixing sighed inwardly.

The [Wild Evil] trait was indeed worthy of its name.

Having just regained her Golden Core Ninth Level cultivation, her arrogant attitude immediately returned.

He reached out and grabbed Bai Ruotong by the scruff of her collar, lifting her to the side like a kitten:

"Of course I haven't forgotten you. This matter also requires your participation, but I have other arrangements."

Bai Ruotong had just been lifted by him.

She didn't resist.

She only swung her short legs in the air discontentedly.

Hearing him say he hadn't forgotten her but had other arrangements,

the dissatisfaction on her face instantly vanished:

"Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course."

Mo Zixing was indeed telling the truth on this point.

He planned to take Bai Ruotong with him this time.

Although the invitation from the Qingyun Sect invited one or two Elders,

Bai Ruotong wasn't an Elder.

Although Great Elder Qin Cangyue had plenty of experience, he was still only at the Earthly Dao Golden Core Second Level.

His strength might not even be as great as Mo Zixing's.

The Little Sect Master was different.

With his help, she had already recovered her cultivation to the Heavenly Dao Golden Core Ninth Level.

If they ran into any real danger, she would be much more helpful than Great Elder Qin Cangyue.

Besides,

if he left Bai Ruotong at home, there was no telling what kind of trouble she might stir up.

It was much more reassuring to keep her by his side.

"Go back and pack your things first, then wait for me at the entrance of the Sleeping Quarters for a bit."

Mo Zixing patted her small shoulder:

"I'll come find you then. I promise you won't be bored over the next few days."

"Alright, I'll wait for you there."

The Little Sect Master didn't throw a tantrum this time.

She merely cast a smug glance at Liu Qingyan and skipped away.

Watching her figure disappear into the distance,

Liu Qingyan walked up to Mo Zixing, her tone filled with a trace of helplessness:

"Zixing, don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

In fact, she had noticed some clues long ago.

The way Bai Ruotong looked at Mo Zixing had changed from how it was in the beginning.

She had simply thought that Mo Zixing wouldn't actually be interested in such a tiny Sect Master.

And Bai Ruotong's feelings had only been interpreted as gratitude for resolving her grudge.

She hadn't expected

that after not seeing each other for only about a day,

they would have already crossed that line.

"Ahem, circumstances forced my hand, circumstances forced my hand."

Mo Zixing gave a couple of dry laughs and gently pulled Liu Qingyan into his arms:

"If I say I didn't do it on purpose, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe you."

Liu Qingyan leaned against his chest, deliberately turning her head away to avoid looking at him.

She had originally wanted to hit him hard, but it ultimately turned into a gentle, reproachful scolding:

"If you keep this up, the entire Qingdan Peak will become your backyard sooner or later."

"Ahem, ahem, it won't go that far."

Mo Zixing choked on her words, unable to think of a retort for the moment.

"Senior Brother!"

Jiang Yuwei, who was on his other side, also leaned in and puffed out her cheeks to complain:

"Sect Master Bai used her cultivation to suppress me just now, deliberately releasing her pressure to scare me!"

As she spoke, she stole a glance up at Mo Zixing and added in a low voice:

"But... since she did it for Senior Brother's sake, I won't hold it against her."

Seeing his Junior Sister's duplicitous act, Mo Zixing couldn't help but laugh:

"What? She actually dared to scare you just because her cultivation is higher? She's so wicked."

He bent down and pinched Jiang Yuwei's cheek:

"When Senior Brother returns from finishing this business, I will definitely discipline her thoroughly to vent your anger."

Liu Qingyan instantly guessed what he was thinking and couldn't help but roll her eyes:

"Can you even call that 'disciplining'?"

"Why wouldn't it count?"

Mo Zixing cleared his throat.

He quickly took the Cultivation Techniques that Liu Qingyan and Jiang Yuwei were holding, changing the subject:

"Anyway, thank you both for your hard work, searching for so long just for me."

"But time is tight, so I need to quickly prepare for my departure."

"I'll make sure to thank you both properly when I return."

"Senior Brother, you're going out again?"

Jiang Yuwei looked up, her eyes filled with reluctance to let him go:

"How long will you be gone this time?"

"Very soon. I'll be back in three to five days at most."

Mo Zixing patted her head:

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

"You must remember to be careful."

Liu Qingyan also urged:

"The people of the Qingyun Sect are insidious. Do not underestimate your enemies."

"If you encounter danger, don't try to be a hero. Prioritize your own safety above all else."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Mo Zixing smiled and nodded. Stashing the Cultivation Techniques away, he gave each of them a kiss.

Then, he leaped into the air.

Turning into an afterimage,

he flew toward the Sleeping Quarters of Qingdan Peak.

He was extremely fast,

arriving back at the Sleeping Quarters in an instant.

Sure enough,

he spotted Bai Ruotong at a glance.

The Little Sect Master stood outside waiting for him, her hands clasped behind her back.

She had changed into a more practical outfit, and her moderately long black hair was tied up high with a ribbon.

Seeing Mo Zixing approach,

she immediately went to meet him, eager to get started:

"I'm all packed. Are we leaving now?"

"Yes, we can set off now."

Mo Zixing nodded in agreement.

"But you still haven't told me where we're going."

Bai Ruotong tilted her head:

"Also, aren't you going to study those Cultivation Techniques they found for you first?"

"Time is tight. For a man as talented as me, there'll be plenty of time to learn them on the way."

Mo Zixing waved his hand and said casually:

"As for where we're going..."

He paused, looked into Bai Ruotong's eyes, and said word for word:

"We are going to the Qingyun Sect."

The expression on Bai Ruotong's face instantly turned peculiar, and she knit her small brows.
