Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The mountain peaks swayed in the wind, and Qin Ranqiu, dressed in a pale yellow dress, looked elegant and graceful.

She stood ramrod straight, but she was all alone and looked somewhat lonely.

Yu Luoning immediately went over and took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Sister Ranqiu, the journey to Qin is long and arduous. Why didn't you bring any luggage? How about I share some clothes with you? We're similar in build, so they should fit."

Qin Ranqiu turned her head, her cold expression softening slightly.

She raised her fair wrist, revealing a simple and warm jade bracelet.

"Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yu. My husband knew that I could not use spiritual power, so he specially asked someone to find an ancient treasure to make this storage jade bracelet for me. It does not require spiritual power, but only needs to be bound to my blood. All my belongings are in it."

Mentioning his senior, Lin Ye, Shi Shangxu's eyes reddened slightly, and he turned his head away.

Yu Luoning, who is usually quick-witted and eloquent, was speechless at this moment.

I was annoyed that I had made conversation for no reason, and in front of everyone, I had to touch on someone's sore spot.

The atmosphere instantly became somewhat heavy. Just as Yu Luoning was awkwardly racking her brains to apologize, a slightly cool, soft hand gently covered the back of her hand.

"Miss Yu, Young Master Shi, you don't need to take it to heart. There's no need to hide anything from me. My husband died for righteousness; he was a truly upright cultivator, and I'm proud of him."

I mention him not out of sadness, but out of gratitude for having loved him in this life. Like the jade bracelet he crafted for me, he has never left me.

The slight redness in Shi Shangxu's eyes faded, replaced by respect.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Ranqiu and said, "The journey to Great Qin is long, but I will certainly ensure that Miss Qin returns home safely."

Qin Ranqiu looked at Shi Shangxu and Yu Luoning, who both had serious expressions, and burst out laughing.

The sound was like melting spring snow, refreshing and soothing.

She smiled and said, "Miss Yu, Young Master Shi, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to take care of me along the way. My husband always said that the rules of the immortal sect are strict and that living is not easy."

Now that we've returned to the mortal realm, why don't we all be happy? Let's consider it as a trip to the mortal world with you, a companionship on a journey. What do you all think?

Yu Luoning laughed and said, "Yes, yes, let's just treat it as traveling together."

The three waited at the mountain gate for almost half an hour before Su Man'er finally descended, cursing and swearing, riding her longsword.

At this moment, she was in an extremely bad mood.

I didn't want to take on this thankless and arduous task at all, but I had no choice but to follow the orders from above.

The thought that she wouldn't see her three gentle and considerate husbands for a full two weeks made Su Man'er feel extremely uncomfortable.

She stepped forward with a cold expression and perfunctorily counted the number of people.

When Su Man'er saw that three people were still missing, a vein throbbed on her forehead.

Damn it, there were even people who arrived later than her.

After waiting a while, the group of people slowly strolled over.

The group looked over and saw that it was Jiang Yuxing and two male disciples.

Shi Shangxu and Yu Luoning's expressions immediately darkened.

If it weren't for the sect's ironclad rule that inner disciples must not kill each other, Shi Shangxu would have loved to kill him.

But Yu Luoning was sounding the alarm in her mind.

This guy is definitely up to no good on the way; she needs to be careful.

Su Man'er's expression darkened completely. She patiently said in a cold voice, "We will be traveling together for the next half month. You'd better get to know each other now, so you don't end up not even knowing who your companion is."

She paused, then lifted the red string on the Enforcement Hall token and shook it gently: "I, the True Disciple, am here to lead the team. I do not wish to hear any dissenting voices in my ranks. If you have any objections, keep them to yourself. Follow my orders in all actions. If I say go east, no one is allowed to go west. Any unauthorized actions will be recorded on the sect's blacklist and severely punished."

"Of course, the demons and monsters killed along the way were not without their benefits. All the kills will be recorded as merit points. For the sake of easy statistics, they will all be classified according to the cultivation level of the demon beasts."

After saying that, Su Man'er impatiently pulled a stack of booklets out of her sleeve.

It fell into everyone's hands with a whoosh.

She then added, "If there's anything you don't understand, just look at the booklet yourselves and try to bother me as little as possible."

The group exchanged glances, none daring to offend this senior sister, and all bowed their heads in agreement.

Seeing their docile appearance, Su Man'er narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled softly.

"Now that we've finished discussing business, let's talk about personal matters."

The group was not familiar with Su Man'er, and they were taken aback when they heard her talk about her private matters.

Su Man'er's eyes narrowed, and a whip-shaped burst of spiritual energy shot out, striking Jiang Yuxing and the two late disciples hard.

Su Man'er looked down at them and said, "Who do you three think you are? Are you trying to kill us by making us wait?"

Jiang Yuxing's face stiffened. Knowing he was in the wrong, he didn't dare to talk back.

If he hadn't gone to Elder Chiyang's place, how could he have been late?

Before he left, Elder Chiyang instructed him not to confront Su Man'er.

Su Man'er's master is Qingming Zhenjun, the main peak of the Discipline Hall, who is at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.

This person is extremely protective of his own, probably because Su Man'er saved his life, and he spoils Su Man'er rotten.

The bottom line and sect rules can be broken at any time because of Su Man'er, and even the sect leader can't do anything about the two of them.

Jiang Yuxing suffered a silent loss and didn't dare to retaliate.

The two disciples were so frightened that they knelt down and repeatedly apologized.

Su Man'er warned coldly, "If there's a next time, you'll bear the consequences."

Yu Luoning stood in the crowd, looking at the fiery-tempered Su Man'er, and blinked.

The senior disciple leading the team has a bad temper and unfathomable strength. She absolutely cannot reveal anything about her before she has figured out her true strength.

She can just be a lucky charm along the way.

High-level secret techniques such as the Transcendental Technique should not be used in front of Su Man'er unless absolutely necessary.

Because there were two mortals with no spiritual power in the group who needed care, Su Man'er did not speed up, but led everyone to fly at low altitude in the void.

On the small Dharma boat, Su Man'er stood at the bow.

Qin Ranqiu and another mortal, Wang Hebo, sat at the stern of the boat.

Surprisingly, Su Man'er, who had a fiery temper, was very polite to Qin Ranqiu and Wang Hebo. "This is your first time traveling by airship. If you feel unwell, please let us know. We will take your health into consideration."

After speaking, Su Man'er turned her gaze to Yu Luoning's face, coughed lightly, and said, "...You too."

Yu Luoning was flattered.

Both times I saw this senior sister, she was either hitting someone or on her way to hit someone.

I thought they wouldn't be easy to get along with, but they were surprisingly kind and gentle to me.

After Su Man'er finished speaking, the others lowered their eyes and none of them raised any objections.

Only Jiang Yuxing's expression darkened, and his deep gaze fell on Yu Luoning.

Wang Hebo is a bit older, and he also relies on elixirs to stay alive. He is now a hundred years old, with gray hair and a hunched body, but he is still full of energy.

"Senior sister, just proceed as usual. Don't let the old man delay things," Wang Hebo said with a smile.

Su Man'er nodded slightly and said nothing more.

The airship sailed smoothly along the way.

However, as the group flew over a dark forest, the previously calm air currents suddenly surged, and a black mist rose up from the depths of the dense forest below.

In a few days, Choi Soo will officially appear, and they will have their first real scenes together.
