Chapter 1117

After speaking, Qin Qi’s gaze turned to Luo Mengyi.

Yet at this very moment, Luo Mengyi’s eyes showed a trace of reluctance.

But soon, that reluctance was quickly hidden away.

She forced herself to appear strong and gradually stood up!

She made her way back to her master’s side.

Wang Baihe glanced at Luo Mengyi indifferently, offering neither comfort nor words, just saying lightly: “Let’s go!”

With that, he turned and left without another word.

Luo Mengyi followed behind, thoughts swirling.

Her master, after her defeat, only had so little to say?

She pondered for a while before finally asking: “Master, I lost. Aren’t you going to blame your disciple?”

Wang Baihe snorted coldly, “What’s the point in blaming you? Our plan was for the Tianwu Tournament, to wait until your senior brother returned!”

“Lost is lost. Though it does embarrass me, there’s nothing more to say now!”

“But I’m curious—given your abilities and your suppressed cultivation, even if victory wouldn’t have come easily, how could you have ended up losing so badly?”

Luo Mengyi had no other option but to explain how Qin Qi summoned the Spirit Evil Woman.

Upon hearing about the Spirit Evil Woman, Wang Baihe was indeed startled, then said, “That Ghost Servant recovered so quickly? No wonder that brat was so confident. We were too careless!”

“Looks like only your senior brother revealing himself can defeat that kid!”

Listening to her master’s words, Luo Mengyi remained silent for a long time, finally seeing the truth behind many things.

If her master had blamed her, scolded her, she would have felt at least her master cared.

But her master didn’t.

Even when she brought up the Spirit Evil Woman, he showed no intention of consoling her.

In her master’s eyes, what mattered from start to finish was only victory and defeat. He never cared about her thoughts, her feelings.

On the contrary, Qin Qi.

Compared to her master, Qin Qi was more considerate, more thorough!

…

As Wang Baihe led Luo Mengyi away,

the Divine Firmament Platform’s match undoubtedly announced Qin Qi’s complete victory!

Elder Lei Qianpeng, the overseer of Divine Firmament Platform, approached with hands behind his back, “Little friend Qin Qi, congratulations on your victory.”

Qin Qi responded politely, “Thank you, Elder Lei, for your trouble!”

Lei Qianpeng’s mind was full of thoughts.

Actually, he’d heard a bit about Qin Qi earlier, but for face’s sake, he hadn’t tried to recruit him.

Now that Qin Qi had defeated Luo Mengyi, he felt regret rising in his heart.

Xuan Yi Sect isn’t just any ordinary force; geniuses cultivated by such a sect couldn’t possibly be mediocre!

Even so, Qin Qi at Core Formation Stage First Layer has defeated Xuan Yi Sect’s genius at Fourth Layer—this shows how extraordinary his talent is.

“Looking at it now, this kid’s talent truly can’t be compared to ordinary people!”

Lei Qianpeng muttered, “If I’d known, I’d have tried to recruit him sooner—maybe there’d still be hope to bring him under my wing!”

But regretting now is too late; the time has already passed.

Housekeeper Wu and the Four Demons of Yuanxin had already stepped forward.

“Congratulations, Young Master!”

Housekeeper Wu grinned broadly, “Really didn’t expect Young Master could defeat Luo Mengyi!”

Qin Qi said irritably, “What, you guys find it so hard to trust me? If I agreed, how could I not have had some confidence?”

Housekeeper Wu finally relaxed, “We didn’t trust you enough, Young Master!”

Qin Qi didn’t say much, “Alright, since I’ve won, you guys should escort me back to Yellow Heaven City!”

“Yes!”

The group answered together.

And so, on the way back,

Housekeeper Wu couldn’t help but nag, “Young Master, although you beat Luo Mengyi, you shouldn’t have provoked Wang Baihe like that. Nascent Soul Stage experts care most about face. Today, you humiliated him openly; isn’t that slapping him in the face?”

“Wang Baihe will definitely bear a grudge against you!”

Qin Qi laughed mockingly, “What? You think even if I didn’t provoke Wang Baihe today, he’d let me off?”

“Not really.” Housekeeper Wu thought for a moment and admitted.

“Since he won’t let me off, why be polite with him?” Qin Qi sneered, “If someone’s out to get me, why should I act all courteous?”

“I even think my insults and extortion weren’t harsh enough!”

Hearing this, Housekeeper Wu paused, then understood.

“Young Master is right. We were being too naive!”

That’s true.

If the grudge can’t be resolved, why bother being polite?

Qin Qi’s thinking is spot on!

Anyway, with Yan Shuiming backing the other side, why bother being courteous?

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, before they realized it, Qin Qi had already returned to Yellow Heaven City.

Once they were back in Yellow Heaven City,

Qin Qi headed straight to his own mansion.

But upon arriving, Qin Qi saw Ji Hongzhuang waiting, her face full of worry and anxiousness!

“Qin Qi, you—you’re finally back!” Ji Hongzhuang bit her silver teeth, calling out anxiously.

Qin Qi, seeing her expression, couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”

Ji Hongzhuang’s tone was on the verge of tears, “My sister, my sister she…”

“Hm?”

Qin Qi quickly guessed, “Could it be the poison invaded again?”

Ji Hongzhuang nodded lightly, “Yeah, yesterday my sister was attacked by the poison, I—I can’t do anything. Qin Qi, thank goodness you’re back!”

Qin Qi shook his head, “Didn’t expect it to relapse so soon!”

“Qin Qi, I know my sister usually won’t bow her head to you, but the poison is really tormenting her badly. Please, please, can you clear her body of it completely this time!” Ji Hongzhuang parted her lips, pleading.

Qin Qi replied lazily, “Relax, your sister’s poison—most of it has already been cleared by me. Even if it attacks again, it won’t be as bad as before.”

“But, you’re telling me this now—means you know about your sister and me, huh?”

Ji Hongzhuang’s pretty face flushed red.

Though she wasn’t sure about the details between her sister and Qin Qi,

the look on her sister’s face gave her a pretty good guess.

Her lips parted slightly; she secretly moved closer to Qin Qi, then shyly whispered, “Master, if you really can’t help, why not take this chance and just make my sister…”

“Make her what?” Qin Qi teased, half-smiling.

Ji Hongzhuang pouted, replying with annoyance, “Just fuck her. My sister’s mouth pretends not to care, but she actually likes you quite a bit!”

“She’s just stubborn, that’s all. If you can really conquer her, she’ll definitely be just like me…”

Qin Qi narrowed his eyes, “Just like you in what way?”
