Fairy, please have some self-respect. I am not the reincarnation of your deceased husband.

Chapter 142 A Tale of Wandering the Martial World

Xiao Qingyao slumped on a large rock by the lotus pond, her cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, her hands supporting her chin, staring at the koi in the water with utter despair.

The thought of having to wait many more days before she could leave made her furious.

"Damn it! Master has gone too far."

"Why are they going to lock me up for so long?"

Although she could pass the time by practicing swordsmanship, her progress in swordsmanship was never achieved through solitary, closed-door training.

Only through the tempering of real combat and the refinement of fighting against others can one break through the constraints.

If one practices swordsmanship alone, it is easy to get stuck in a bottleneck and stagnate.

After sitting there sullenly for a while, the girl reluctantly got up and dawdled as she prepared to go back to her room.

Even on the way back to the house, he was still muttering angrily, occasionally kicking small stones on the ground with his toes, venting all his resentment on the stones.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

"No!"

"I'm going to confront my master!"

After saying that, Xiao Qingyao was about to leave the courtyard to confront her master.

But as soon as she approached the courtyard gate, she was stopped by a transparent barrier.

This is a formation set up by her master to help her focus her mind.

Clearly, she can't reason with her master now.

"Tsk."

Xiao Qingyao clicked her tongue.

Stopped by this barrier, she suddenly calmed down.

If I were to actually confront my master, I fear that not only would I not be released early, but I would also be punished more severely for "not repenting".

Being forced to learn needlework as punishment would be far worse than being locked up in solitary confinement.

At that time, we will lose both our wife and our army, which will be a great loss.

It's better to accept the punishment properly and then show your skills when you can get out.

"Alright, alright, I'll just have to endure it for a few more days. Once the various sects arrive, I'll be able to leave."

The girl gradually regained her composure and turned back to the lotus pond.

"A man can bend and stretch."

"After all, even chivalrous heroes sometimes have to obey the orders of the martial arts alliance leader."

Clearly, the young girl was comparing the sect to the martial arts world and her master to the leader of the martial arts alliance.

However, even though we can't go out or practice swordsmanship, we can't neglect our cultivation.

Xiao Qingyao then sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to cultivate her spiritual energy.

But before she could cultivate for even a short while, she sensed something.

"?"

I opened my eyes and looked around. A figure was walking towards me from outside the courtyard.

"Senior sister~!"

The figure called out sweetly.

Another girl walked over, but she looked even younger than Xiao Qingyao, about thirteen or fourteen years old.

Appearance.

The little girl was pretty with delicate features, fair skin, bright eyes and white teeth, and a lively and cheerful personality.

Wearing a custom-made light pink taekwondo uniform and a pom-pom hair accessory, she looked even more charming and lovely.

"Junior Sister!"

Xiao Qingyao was overjoyed and went to greet her, but stopped only ten steps away from the courtyard gate.

"Why are you here?"

I missed you, so I came to see you.

This junior sister's name is "Lin Miaohan". She has a very good relationship with Xiao Qingyao and can be considered her half-sister.

As he spoke, the other person was about to come in.

"Don't--!"

Xiao Qingyao was about to offer a reminder, but to her surprise, the other party actually walked in smoothly.

You should know that even sect elders cannot enter without their master's permission, let alone Lin Miaohan, who has only been cultivating for a short time.

"what?"

The young girl let out a soft "hmm," puzzled as to why her senior sister had said "no": "What's wrong?"

Is there a problem with me coming in?

Lin Miaohan blinked her almond-shaped eyes and tilted her head to look at her.

Xiao Qingyao stared in disbelief, took two steps forward, and raised her hand toward the courtyard gate.

Sure enough, his hand was blocked by an invisible barrier.

After a long pause, she finally asked, "You—have you received Master's permission?"

This master is not Lin Miaohan's master, but her master.

"Um."

The other person nodded: "I came with the sect leader's permission."

As she spoke, Lin Miaohan summoned a basket and waved it at her senior sister: "I specially brought you some good things."

"What is it?"

Xiao Qingyao curiously leaned closer and saw that the basket contained her favorite osmanthus cake, and there was something underneath the osmanthus cake.

As they talked, the two walked to the stone table and chairs in the courtyard.

Lin Miaohan placed the osmanthus cakes from the basket on the table and handed one to Xiao Qingyao.

Xiao Qingyao didn't stand on ceremony, took the food, and took a bite.

The sweet aroma immediately melted in my mouth, and my previously depressed mood dissipated considerably.

"Thank you, Miaohan."

"Hehe~"

The little girl gave a charming laugh.

Her hands didn't stop moving; under Xiao Qingyao's gaze, she carefully took out a book scroll.

"The sect leader was worried that you would be bored here, so he specially sent me to keep you company."

"Look what this is!"

"!!!"

Looking at the ink-wash style portrait of a dashing swordsman on the book cover, and the five powerful characters "The Legend of Wandering the Jianghu" inscribed on it.

Pay special attention to the special design with sword patterns embroidered on the corners.

Xiao Qingyao's eyes lit up immediately, and she even forgot to chew the osmanthus cake in her mouth.

She snatched the book, touching the sword pattern on the cover, her face filled with surprise and excitement: "This is a collector's edition of 'The Legend of the Wandering Swordsman'?!"

"That's right, that's right."

Lin Miaohan nodded vigorously, with a "praise me" expression: "And it's a complete set!"

"The latest volume is also included."

As she spoke, she took out all ten copies of "The Legend of the Wandering Swordsman" from the basket, all of which were collector's editions.

"Wow! Thank you, Miaohan!"

"You're so kind!"

Overwhelmed with emotion, Xiao Qingyao hugged the other person tightly and thanked them repeatedly.

"Since you want to thank me, why don't you tell me about what happened in the secret realm?"

Because of her cultivation level, Lin Miaohan was unable to leave the sect to experience and explore, so she longed for the outside world.

It can be said that the reason why Xiao Qingyao and she had such a good relationship was because they both met each other's needs.

One was willing to listen, and the other was willing to speak.

The two truly treated each other like sisters.

"sure!"

Xiao Qingyao nodded in agreement.

However, she did not rush to speak, but carefully treasured the set of novels that the other party had brought.

Seeing this, Lin Miaohan shook her head, utterly puzzled: "I really don't know why you like watching these things so much, Senior Sister?"

"It's all fake, it's not real at all."

"Weren't your experiences of going out and gaining experience far more exciting than this?"

Xiao Qingyao only replied with "You don't understand".

After getting everything ready, she asked the other person about the recent situation of their sect.

After all, she had just returned from the secret realm and was immediately placed in confinement by her master, so she hadn't had time to find out what was going on.

I wonder what major events have happened in the sect during this time in the secret realm?

"Speaking of which, Miaohan, during my time in the secret realm, has anything happened in the sect?"

Lin Miaohan pondered for a moment, then suppressed her smile and said seriously, "There really is."

"And it's a major matter concerning the sect's reputation."
