CHAPTER 695: CHAPTER 695: WEAKNESS IS WRONG

"Senior Sister Lin Yan."

The three of Zi Yuan rushed over like mad.

"How did this happen? Senior Sister Lin Yan, who did this?" Qing Lan wailed, weeping bitterly.

Qin Yi sighed slightly and took a set of clothes out from the storage ring, tossing it over, "Dress her first."

"It must be those beasts from before, it must be them, there’s no one else here, I want to kill them, I want to kill them..." Qing Lan howled in grief and anger.

"Qing Lan, calm down, those three have already been killed by Mr. Qin."

"I don’t care, I want to avenge Senior Sister Lin Yan, it was those three from the Fang Family and the Lei Family, I want to kill them."

It’s clear that Qing Lan had a deep bond with the deceased Lin Yan.

"Qing Lan, calm down, let’s first give Senior Sister Lin Yan a proper burial, we can’t leave her exposed to the wild."

With the comforting of Zi Yuan and Hua Rui, the three women worked together to bury Lin Yan.

Although Qin Yi only glanced briefly, he could see that Lin Yan was tormented and humiliated before being killed.

Qing Lan eventually calmed down and walked over to Qin Yi, kneeling with a thud.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yi was startled.

"Mr. Qin, I beg you, help me kill those beasts from the Fang and Lei Families, I’m willing to serve you, just help avenge Senior Sister Lin Yan." Qing Lan pleaded tearfully.

"Stand up." Qin Yi raised his hand, an invisible force lifting Qing Lan up, "Even if you don’t ask me, I still have to kill those people. So, you don’t need to serve me."

"You two, take care of her, I’ll go check inside."

Qin Yi wasn’t one for comforting people, especially a sobbing woman, so he made a quick exit.

Half an hour later, Qin Yi returned, not in high spirits, having circled around inside only to find a dozen gemstones.

Qing Lan’s mood had stabilized significantly.

"From the moment you came here, you should have known that life and death are fated."

"You may not know, Mr. Qin, but Senior Sister Lin Yan and Qing Lan entered the sect at the same time, and Senior Sister Lin Yan always took great care of Qing Lan, like a sister, even though they’re not related by blood." Zi Yuan whispered.

Qin Yi sighed, "This world is just like that, weakness is a fault. As women, although your cultivation isn’t weak, you inevitably face inconveniences compared to men. While there are resources here that can help you advance by leaps and bounds, the dangers are formidable."

"From the moment you enter, no one can guarantee they will make it out alive. The deceased are gone, and the living must look forward."

"We may not be able to, but Mr. Qin can control his destiny."

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback, then smiled, "The world knows me as ruthless and brutal, but little do they know how often I’m helpless myself."

"Enough, we won’t talk about this anymore. Let’s leave here and find your Junior Sister Bai. I’m sure when she learns of this, she will avenge your Senior Sister Lin Yan."

Qin Yi took the three, soared into the sky, and pursued the direction where Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing had left.

...

...

"Junior Sister Bai, why are you with this waste?"

On the edge of the dense forest, Mo Tianhao and two Mo Family disciples ran into Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing.

Unbeknownst to them, Mo Wuji had specifically tracked them here. He knew the Mo Family’s special secret marks well.

"Young Mo."

Mo Wuji gave a fist salute, slightly bowing.

"It’s like this, I met Junior Sister Bai halfway, and for safety, we decided to travel together."

Bai Jingqing’s character was aloof, had it not been for Qin Yi’s constant teasing that made her lose her cool, she would have remained icy.

Upon hearing Mo Tianhao call Mo Wuji a waste, Bai Jingqing’s eyebrows imperceptibly furrowed, not because of anything else, but saying Mo Wuji was a waste was truly laughable.

The Mo Family’s Painting Sword, which no one had mastered for centuries, was mastered by Mo Wuji; how could such a person be a waste?

Mo Tianhao looked at Mo Wuji with disgust, then his gaze fell on Bai Jingqing, lightly chuckling, "Junior Sister Bai, I’ve been worried about your safety and have been looking for you everywhere. Seeing you safe and sound puts my mind at ease."

"I’ve always been with Qin Yi." Bai Jingqing replied indifferently.

Mo Tianhao was shocked because Bai Jingqing had not appeared when he fought with Qin Yi, so he didn’t know she had been with Qin Yi all along.

If Bai Jingqing had been with Qin Yi, wouldn’t she have seen his embarrassing defeat?

"Junior Sister Bai must be joking; I fought with Qin Yi and never saw you then."

Bai Jingqing coldly replied, "I don’t know about your fight with Qin Yi, perhaps I encountered Qin Yi after you fought."

Mo Tianhao breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Bai Jingqing hadn’t seen his embarrassing state then, it was fine.

"That vile Qin Yi, cunning and sly, he escaped because of my carelessness. Next time I meet him, I’ll make sure he’s drenched in blood."

A hint of undisguised mockery flashed in the eyes of Mo Wuji and Bai Jingqing simultaneously; did he think he could kill Qin Yi? What a fool’s dream. Especially Bai Jingqing, she was there on the scene, watching Mo Tianhao be defeated by Qin Yi in one move, scrambling away like a stray dog.

Mo Tianhao’s eyes narrowed, a gleam of light shining, "I’m curious how that vile Qin Yi entered the Secret Realm?"

"He is cunning and sly, he might have sneaked in or had someone help him. In any case, Qin Yi is not to be underestimated, we should be cautious." Mo Wuji said.

"Is it your place to speak?" Mo Tianhao glared at Mo Wuji with disgust, "A waste, what fear is there of Qin Yi? If I encounter him next time, I’ll personally take his head."

Mo Wuji’s eyes deepened, slightly bowing, "Young Mo is right."

Mo Tianhao let out a cold laugh, and when he looked at Bai Jingqing again, his face was full of smiles, "Junior Sister Bai, Qin Yi didn’t do anything to you, did he?"

"Just a lecherous scoundrel, dealing with him is a piece of cake. I followed him only for the fragment map." Bai Jingqing said in a cold tone.

Mo Tianhao was shocked, "Fragment map? How could Qin Yi have the fragment map?"

"According to him, he stole it. That scoundrel, wooing beauty to disclose everything to me."

"So, the fragment map is with Junior Sister Bai now?"

Bai Jingqing nodded slightly.

"That’s good; if it falls into Qin Yi’s hands, that would be terrible. I wonder which waste had the fragment map stolen by that vile Qin Yi."

Bai Jingqing coldly replied, "Qin Yi’s strength is not to be underestimated. If he can steal the fragment map, it shows his extraordinary cultivation."

"Since that’s the case, how did Junior Sister Bai get the fragment map from Qin Yi?" Mo Tianhao asked, narrowing his eyes. He was aware of Qin Yi’s inscrutable cultivation, and wondered if Bai Jingqing had sold herself out to get the map.

Thinking of this, Mo Tianhao’s face twisted slightly because, in his heart, Bai Jingqing was his. If Qin Yi had beaten him to it, he felt like someone had put a green hat on him.
