The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 109: Changing Tastes

Yan Jue was taken aback.

Qi Xianqing handed her the piece of jade. Yan Jue cradled it in her palm, faintly feeling the warmth radiating from it.

The jade was warm and smooth, with intricate patterns, suggesting it was quite valuable.

Qi Xianqing hung the other half back on her waist. Yan Jue asked, "Why do you wear it on your waist?"

It looked bad, being cut in half.

Qi Xianqing smiled lightly, "Junior Sister Yan should know, I have many admirers in the sect."

"If someone else pursues me in the future and sees this, they will know I have a partner."

The atmosphere in the cave became too quiet.

Yan Jue felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly changed the subject, "How did you know that the City Lord Liang was fake?"

At that time, Qi Xianqing had directly struck down that maid on Fuxian Mountain; everything had happened too suddenly for Yan Jue to ask.

Qi Xianqing sat down beside Yan Jue again, "Actually, this matter has been in preparation with my master for a month."

Qi Xianqing continued, "Since the assassin at Chopping Sabre Cliff could accurately follow me, it meant my movements had long been leaked."

"In this operation, I informed the managing pavilion about where I would be going. If this news spread secretly, then as the tiger demon territory in the western region, they would certainly take aim at me if they learned of my journey there."

What Qi Xianqing said did not surprise Yan Jue.

In this world, there were too many people and demons who valued cultivation more than their own lives. Even though Qi Xianqing belonged to the righteous sect now, with cultivation that surpassed countless demons, there would still be demons willing to take risks against her.

"The City Lord Liang turned out to be a female tiger demon, which was unexpected for me as well." Qi Xianqing paused, "I can smell their scent."

"When I was young, my whole family was killed by those two tiger demons, male and female. I distinctly remember that the female tiger demon carried the scent of suhexiang."

Yan Jue couldn't help but mutter, "You never told me."

Qi Xianqing's expression softened as she gently placed her hand on Yan Jue's shoulder, "My initial thought was to keep you out of danger and not let you get involved in this matter."

"But now I promise you, in the future, I will not hide anything from you, and you will do the same for me, okay?"

Qi Xianqing was perceptive, with thoughts as clear as a mirror.

She was acutely aware of her shortcomings in eliminating demons.

There were many times when it was not for Yan Jue, she would have long perished without a grave.

Yan Jue furrowed her brow, contemplating the matter.

She wasn't angry that Qi Xianqing hadn't informed her about the tiger demon incident.

Qi Xianqing had no obligation to tell her, given the situation.

What truly angered Yan Jue was that Qi Xianqing's actions were too reckless.

In previous instances, she had managed to escape unscathed because Yan Jue had been there, but what if she wasn't?

If Qi Xianqing acted this way while on a mission alone, how many lives could she risk losing?
