CHAPTER 667: CHAPTER 667: TRAVELING TOGETHER

"Fits my criteria for a partner? Do you know what my criteria are?" Bai Jingqing sneered.

Qin Yi laughed, "Whatever your criteria are, this person definitely meets them. And to tell you secretly, he has had a crush on you for over ten years."

Bai Jingqing was stunned, looking at Qin Yi suspiciously, clearly not believing.

"This person is proficient in all arts, looks good, has high cultivation, and a gentle personality like jade, just a bit pedantic. By the way, you met him when you were a child and even helped him."

Bai Jingqing thought for a long time, obviously unable to recall, looked at Qin Yi, and asked, "Who exactly are you talking about?"

"Mo Wuji."

"Someone from the Mo Family? I know Mo Wuji, but I don’t know him personally." Bai Jingqing said, bewildered.

Qin Yi smiled bitterly, "Poor Mo Wuji, unloved by his family and overlooked."

"He told me you saved him when you were young."

"Really?" Bai Jingqing thought for a long time and shook her head, "I have no impression at all. Did he mistake me for someone else?"

Qin Yi: "..."

Mo Wuji was so earnest when he mentioned it, he couldn’t have remembered it wrong.

Bai Jingqing couldn’t remember, maybe because it was so long ago or because helping Mo Wuji was just an act of convenience.

"Forget it, let’s talk when we find him. I now realize I can’t do without this guy."

"Hmm?" Bai Jingqing looked at Qin Yi strangely.

"Don’t overthink it. You don’t know, Mo Wuji’s culinary skills are amazing. Recently, he’s spoiled my taste buds. Except for his cooking, everything else tastes bland to me."

Bai Jingqing stared at Qin Yi, "You killed Mo Buwen from the Mo Family, yet Mo Wuji teamed up with you? If he’s not harboring ulterior motives, then he must be very shrewd. I always keep a distance from those who cooperate with enemies."

"Aren’t you also talking to me calmly face-to-face now?"

"That’s because I can’t beat you."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Thanks for your honesty."

Bai Jingqing said, "But I won’t travel with you. Thank you for saving me and my senior and junior sisters, but goodbye."

"Wait."

Bai Jingqing looked at Qin Yi indifferently, "Anything else?"

"You can’t leave." Qin Yi laughed.

"Why? Aren’t you afraid I’ll secretly attack you?"

"Afraid. I’m always very cautious about my life," Qin Yi laughed, "But I’ve always been someone who’d do anything for a friend. For Mo Wuji’s happiness, you must come with me. Of course, there are benefits in following me; I can ensure your safety."

"Two hundred people entered this place, only your Baihua Pavilion has forty female disciples. With no contact with the outside world, you’re like lambs in a wolf pack. To avoid being completely destroyed, following me is your best option."

Bai Jingqing stared at Qin Yi, suddenly sneering, "Though you speak righteously, I’m not a fool. You’re asking me to go with you not for Mo Wuji’s happiness or my safety, but for the fragment in my hand and the treasure on the map."

Qin Yi touched his nose, damn, this woman is smart.

Of course, he was not going to admit it, Qin Yi laughed, "Your words make me feel like Lv Dongbin. If I were after your fragment, I could just grab it. Do you think I can’t?"

"Of course, you can, but you won’t. Because you want to keep me intact to give to Mo Wuji, for which he’ll be grateful. Qin Yi, though we’ve never met, I’ve heard so much about you that my ears are calloused. You would never do a losing deal just for fame."

Qin Yi felt awkward, this woman is really insightful.

"Qin Yi, you’re someone who doesn’t act rashly, yet you’re eagerly matchmaking me with Mo Wuji. I bet you want something from Mo Wuji in return. Am I right?"

"Wrong, you think you’re so smart, but you’re quite naive. Your understanding of me is just hearsay. Don’t you know that after being passed around three people, a story becomes a new version? I admit I’m not some saint, but I’ve always been good to my friends."

"May all lovers in the world end up together, as pre-written destiny won’t miss any fate. I genuinely think you and Mo Wuji are very compatible."

Bai Jingqing sneered, "After all your words, you’re definitely not letting me go, right?"

"Uh..." Qin Yi touched his nose, "I’m doing it for your good. If you leave now, you might miss your destined partner."

Bai Jingqing laughed coldly.

"I can go with you, but we’re enemies. If I stab you in the back, don’t blame me for repaying your life-saving grace with enmity."

"Suit yourself. If you succeed, I’ll admit defeat," Qin Yi said confidently, "But let me remind you, better kill me with one blow. Otherwise, you can’t imagine my means against enemies. You haven’t attacked me yet, so I can see you as a friend. But if you do, you’ll be my enemy. So, think thrice before drawing your sword."

"I know your means, isn’t Xue Wuya your proudest work?" Bai Jingqing sneered, "Don’t worry, if I strike, it’s do or die. I won’t give you a chance to torment me."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "Stubborn. Let’s go quickly; Nancheng Fei will wake up soon, and then I’ll have to kill him."

"What exactly are you planning?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Don’t you know the more you know, the more dangerous it is?"

Bai Jingqing snorted coldly, remaining silent, walking behind Qin Yi into the distance.

"Pretty lady, I killed the Flower Demon from your Baihua Pavilion, what’s your plan to deal with me?"

As they walked, Qin Yi suddenly asked.

Bai Jingqing froze for a moment, then said indifferently, "I don’t know."

"Come on, let’s talk. After all, your Baihua Pavilion is rich and powerful. If you’re determined to deal with me, I can’t escape death. So telling me wouldn’t matter, right?"

Bai Jingqing sneered, "Qin Yi, don’t try to get information from me. If you were that easy to handle, why do those opposing you keep dying at your hands? Mo Wuji went to kill you, but ended up as your partner. I guess he helped you get in here, didn’t he?"

"My enemies dying repeatedly, I can only say that’s my good luck. As for Mo Wuji partnering with me, it’s because he has great insight and found my shining points, overwhelmed by my excellence."

Bai Jingqing mocked, "Are you sure he wasn’t overwhelmed by your shamelessness?"

"Forget it, you’re such a killjoy, what does Mo Wuji even see in you? So cold, without any fun."

"You and I are enemies, I’m only forced to accompany you. As for Mo Wuji liking me, that’s his concern, not mine. I’m naturally like this, isn’t not liking to laugh also a fault? I don’t know what you mean by fun. Do I have to play dress-up games with you to be considered fun? Sorry, I can’t satisfy your weird tastes."

Qin Yi: "..."
