Chapter 37: Extraordinary

The grand competition of the sect is held every five years, and all the direct disciples of each peak must participate.

But Shen Wangchen didn’t know how he told the headmaster, but Su Jiu and Mo Lin were not on the list of participants this time.

Mo Lin was fine, his expression didn’t reveal anything, he still went about his own business every day, and no one knew what he was doing.

But Su Jiu was a little disappointed.

She had been practicing swordsmanship diligently for so many years, although she didn’t want to leave a famous name, but who wouldn’t want to show off their swordsmanship on stage?

Su Jiu wanted to participate in the grand competition five years ago, but at that time, Shen Wangchen didn’t allow her to participate because she was too young. This year, she finally came of age, but she still couldn’t participate. She was quite frustrated.

Even so, she still went to the sword practice platform every morning to practice the Nine Forms of Swordsmanship before going back.

It was the people who were actually going to participate in the competition who slept until noon every day. Although she knew that Qi Chaoye was hiding his true cultivation, and besides, he didn’t care about making a splash in the sect competition, but Su Jiu still couldn’t help but complain about him in her heart.

[Sure enough, this is the fate of the protagonist, even if he doesn’t cultivate or study, he will still become famous in the end. I don’t know who he’s fighting against, I’ll offer my condolences in advance.]

[If I remember correctly, in this grand competition, Qi Chaoye kept conceding at the beginning, which made the people of Mingwu Peak very proud. That second senior brother, because his junior sister liked Qi Chaoye, ran out and insisted on fighting Qi Chaoye, but he was defeated in one move. Even so, he pretended to be modest and said it was just good luck.]

[Later, his junior sister went to his bed in the middle of the night… Sss, why am I a little excited?]

Su Jiu secretly cast her gaze towards Qi Chaoye.

The people who can be the male lead’s attack, from their looks to their figures, are all perfect.

Today was the first match between Qi Chaoye and Mu Yunqing. Compared to his usual wide-sleeved robes, which were flamboyant and flashy, Qi Chaoye was only wearing a simple, dark blue short-sleeved outfit today. The sash around his waist was tightly tied, outlining his lean and powerful waist. The fabric was close-fitting, revealing his chest and abdominal muscles, a perfect inverted triangle figure. Any more would be too bulky, any less would be too thin.

Although she kept silent about Qi Chaoye’s character, seeing his figure, Su Jiu couldn’t help but indulge her old lecherous nature and whistle in her heart.

[I can’t imagine how happy it would be to touch it…]

Qi Chaoye stood with his arms crossed, hearing her words, his eyes flicked slightly, and he suddenly said, “Junior Sister, be careful.”

Before Su Jiu could react, he hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her towards him. Su Jiu was caught off guard and was pulled into his arms, her hand landing right on his chest.

Qi Chaoye’s lips curled slightly, and he lowered his head to look at her.

Su Jiu’s mind went blank.

[This feel, this – Duangduang duang! What virtue do I have to experience the feel of a male lead… I want to rub it a few times…]

Su Jiu’s face was serious, as if she was making a particularly difficult decision. After a long while, she slowly let go of her hand, coughed lightly, and put on a serious look.

“What’s wrong, Senior Brother?”

[Wuwuwu, no, I’m a decent person, things that don’t belong to me, I… will resolutely, not touch… but I want to touch.]

Qi Chaoye looked at her thoughts, which were serious on the surface but conflicted deep down, and finally couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Su Jiu widened her eyes and looked at him in confusion.

[What’s wrong? Why is he laughing? Is he sick?]

Qi Chaoye couldn’t help himself.

He suddenly felt that his junior sister, who was saying one thing but thinking another, was very cute.

“Nothing,” he suppressed his smile and returned to his usual calm demeanor. He gently fanned his fan and said, “My match will start soon, do you want to watch?”

Qi Chaoye asked this, so Su Jiu had to be polite.

“Of course I’ll watch Senior Brother’s match.”

[Damn it, I don’t want to watch! I’d rather go find Senior Brother with this time.]

Qi Chaoye smiled slightly, pretending not to hear Su Jiu’s thoughts, and gently tapped her forehead with his fan.

“Okay, after my match is over, I’ll take you to eat something delicious. If I don’t see you later…” Qi Chaoye blinked, still smiling, but Su Jiu suddenly shivered.

She gave a wry smile, “How could that be, I’ll watch, I’ll watch.”

She had originally wanted to sneak away, but after being threatened by Qi Chaoye like this, Su Jiu had no choice but to wait until he finished his match.

Mu Yunqing finished his match quickly and soon found them. Hearing that Qi Chaoye was going to treat Su Jiu to dinner, he simply stayed.

Su Jiu’s heart was filled with tears.

[I declare that Senior Brother is the most considerate Senior Brother in the world, I love him.]

Mu Yunqing was already used to Su Jiu saying “like” and “love” from time to time, and his expression didn’t change much, only his ears turned slightly red.

Qi Chaoye on the stage, however, heard it all clearly.

He was displeased, the smile on his face disappeared, and he almost used his fan to suppress his opponent, ending the match in five moves.

Su Jiu was very surprised.

[Although I know Qi Chaoye is hiding his cultivation, but that move just now…]

Qi Chaoye’s steps paused slightly as he walked off the stage, his gaze swept over the crowd and landed on her. Finally, he saw that glimmer of light in Su Jiu’s eyes.

[So cool!]

Qi Chaoye’s lips curled up, his eyes flicked slightly, and then landed on Mu Yunqing beside Su Jiu.

But he saw that he looked as usual, as if he hadn’t heard anything.

It was already the time of Hai Zheng when they returned to the Undao Hall. Su Jiu deliberately lowered her voice, but as soon as she rounded the front hall and reached the back corridor, she saw a snow-white figure in the darkness.

She was startled.

The figure gently waved his sleeve, and the candles in the corridor lit up one after another. When she saw his face, Su Jiu was slightly stunned.

“Master!”

She quickly walked over and saluted him, feeling a little guilty, “Did I disturb Master?”

Shen Wangchen lowered his eyes and glanced at her, smelling the faint scent of alcohol on Su Jiu.

“No.” He replied calmly, and didn’t turn around to go back to his room, but walked down the steps and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard.

Su Jiu followed, Shen Wangchen didn’t say anything, so she naturally didn’t dare to sit down. She just put her hands in front of her abdomen, lowered her head, and looked very obedient.

But in her heart, she was muttering: [It’s this late, logically speaking, Mo Lin should have acted against Master by now? Even if there wasn’t the Three-Day Red Face this time, I remember that old demon from his side had several other medicines… ]

[And, at this point in the plot, Master should have discovered that he likes men… Could it be that Master is waiting for me specifically this time because he discovered that he likes men, and he’s feeling depressed and wants to find someone to talk to?]

[That must be it, in the original plot, at this point, Master has already slept with Mo Lin… Wait, the book seems to say that Mo Lin… is not ordinary, he’s very… I’m a little curious.]

“Su Jiu!”

Hearing Su Jiu’s previous thoughts about him, Shen Wangchen could still sit there calmly, after all, he knew best whether he liked men or not.

However, when he heard the last sentence, his face turned ugly, and he immediately shouted angrily.
