Chapter 266 The Witch of the Martial World 7
Qingyu smiled faintly, the dagger in her hand gleaming coldly, her eyes filled with indifference. "Who I am is not important. What's important is that you have what I want... If you give it to me, I will let you go, how about it?"
After saying that, Qingyu waved her hands, and the surrounding trees seemed to be summoned and swarmed towards the man.
Xue Lingyuan's expression changed, somewhat incredulous, "You can actually do that too?"
Qingyu sneered, "It's just a trivial skill. Hand over the technique!"
He then launched an attack.
In this life, Qingyu's character is both beautiful and powerful. When she makes a move, Xue Lingyuan, who is already injured, is powerless to fight back.
Xue Lingyuan knew that if he didn't hand over the martial arts manual today, he would probably not escape disaster. He gritted his teeth, took out a tattered booklet from his pocket, threw it at Qingyu, and then retreated in a sorry state, glaring at the other party warily.
Qingyu reached out and caught it, quickly checked it to make sure it was correct, and then hid it in her bosom. But the next second, Xue Lingyuan, unwilling to give up, struck her with his palm. Qingyu easily retreated, the wind from the palm blowing her veil, instantly revealing her stunningly beautiful face—
This is truly astounding.
Xue Lingyuan stood there in a daze, unable to believe what he was seeing. The woman in front of him had long, flowing black hair that cascaded down her fair shoulders.
Her face was like a piece of jade meticulously sculpted by the heavens. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were clear and bright, like a secluded lake hiding stars, shimmering and sparkling with every glance. Her delicate nose was perfectly positioned in the center of her face. Her lips were like cherries, naturally red without any makeup, with a natural luster, as if containing endless tenderness and shyness.
A gentle breeze stirred, her robes fluttering, making her appear like a fairy descended to earth. She exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura that instantly silenced the noisy world, and his gaze was captivated from that moment on.
The fact that the two were standing so close together was an even greater visual feast.
Having defeated Xue Lingyuan's resolve, he could no longer make a move. He stared blankly at Qingyu, his gaze gradually turning into infatuation, "You..."
Qingyu rolled her eyes at him, too lazy to pay him any attention, and flashed to Guo Xiao and the others.
At this moment, the latter were still wandering in the maze. Qingyu's sudden appearance startled them for a moment, and they were about to draw their swords to attack when they realized what was happening.
"Do you still want this cultivation technique?" Qingyu waved the booklet in her hand, smiling slyly.
Guo Xiao's eyes lit up, and she was about to speak when Lin Shinian interrupted, "Witch! What are you trying to do! You've been stealing our things time and time again!"
Qingyu raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Shinian with a half-smile, "Yours? Whoever gets it first owns it. Will it answer if you call it?"
After saying that, she put the booklet into her bosom and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Lin Shiwan cried out anxiously. She hadn't expected the cultivation technique to fall into someone else's hands. "What do you want? This technique isn't suitable for you. We can exchange it!"
As she spoke, she handed over a jade pendant, which looked to be of excellent quality.
Qingyu is the type of person who can't resist good things, and she thought the jade pendant was quite nice from afar. She could feel the warm and smooth aura emanating from it, but she didn't want to give it the cultivation technique!
But in the next instant, a large hand reached out and snatched the jade pendant, handing it to Qingyu.
Xue Lingyuan stared intently at the person in front of him, his eyes full of expectation. "Here you go."
Lin Shiwan: "...?"
"Those are mine!" Lin Shiwan's face flushed with anger, while Guo Xiao beside her shouted, "Are you all in cahoots?"
Xue Lingyuan didn't even glance at them; at this moment, his mind and eyes were only on Qingyu, and he only wanted to please her.
Qingyu hadn't expected things to turn out this way, but when good things come to your door, you might as well take them.
She smiled brightly, her eyes sparkling, "Then I'll accept it."
Then it vanished instantly.
Xue Lingyuan smiled contentedly, then the smile gradually disappeared, and his sinister gaze swept over the group. Guo Xiao gritted her teeth and looked at him: "Are you in cahoots with the Demonic Sect?! Today I will act on behalf of Heaven!"
"Ha, what a big mouth, a bunch of ignorant good-for-nothings!" Xue Lingyuan was in a great mood at the moment. He was no longer fixated on Lin Shiwan, because he had discovered a great treasure and he was going to chase after it!
He immediately ignored the group and used another illusion to leave.
The group stared in the direction where the two had disappeared, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Guo Xiao, in particular, felt a mixture of anger and unspeakable jealousy in his heart, which made him unable to break the formation in peace, and his expression changed from time to time.
It took the last three an hour to escape, and each of them was covered in wounds and looked quite disheveled.
When they returned to the inn, Lin Shiwan finally couldn't help but reveal the truth: "That mother and daughter were liars!"
She hadn't exposed it before in order to make things go smoothly, but now that everything had fallen apart, she couldn't hold back any longer and explained the situation.
Lin Shinian, who was standing next to him, did not refute, but nodded, "Perhaps he has some kind of relationship with Xue Lingyuan."
"So what? They've obviously run away. Where are we supposed to look for them?" Guo Xiao felt irritable and restless, her mind filled with Qingyu's relationship with Xue Lingyuan. She didn't want to care about the mother and daughter at all.
Moreover, as far as he was concerned, although the mother and daughter might not have pure intentions, they were delicate and weak, and must have had their own difficulties. Now that things had come to this, there was no need for them to hold a grudge.
He didn't say these words aloud, otherwise he might have angered the Lin siblings to death.
But what she had just said didn't make the Lin siblings feel any better. Lin Shiwan looked at Guo Xiao for the first time and said after a long while, "Brother Xiao, how did you become like this... Are we just supposed to endure it when we're bullied?"
She looked disappointed and ran towards her room, her back view appearing weak and forlorn.
This made Guo Xiao's heart skip a beat, and for the first time, she felt a little uneasy.
Lin Shinian's eyes darkened. He didn't chase after his sister. He had realized that Guo Xiao was not quite what they had planned. They had to bring him back to his senses. If Guo Xiao had no feelings for his sister, they would only be doing the work for someone else.
That won't work!
Putting aside his other thoughts, Lin Shinian sighed, "My sister is just... she has always admired you. No one could have predicted this failure. Don't worry, I will talk to her."
He paused, then added with a hint of relief, "Fortunately, the cultivation technique was divided into several volumes, and only one of them was stolen... That witch was really too much!"
Mentioning Qingyu, Guo Xiao remained silent. He lowered his gaze to his chest, where Qingyu's silk was still hidden...
The two exchanged a few more words and decided to regroup before continuing their journey the next day. However, this time, the joy brought by the cultivation technique was gone, and everyone felt much heavier. As for what kind of adventures might happen in the future, that remained to be seen.

Qingyu hadn't run far with the cultivation manual when Hua Wuyi came knocking on her door.
She seriously suspected that this guy might have a GPS tracking feature. Otherwise, how did he find her in such a vast world?
Clearly, Hua Wuyi was angry that Qingyu hadn't replied to her messages for several days; her face was ashen. "What have you been busy with lately? You've neglected the affairs of the Demonic Sect?"
