Mo Qingyue opened with a smile, "It's almost unheard for a disciple to visit Tianlan Peak over the years. Unexpectedly today, Junior Sister Gu has arrived, which is a bit hard to believe."
When she heard this, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes flickered a few times. She didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt a hint of hostility in those words!
She tried to reassure herself, "Maybe it's just an illusion! Perhaps it's the recent incident with Mo Li that has left me on edge."
Then, she calmly looked at Mo Qingyue and said, "If my visit has caused any disturbance, I hope Elder Sister Mo will not take offense!"
Mo Qingyue replied with a still smiling face, "Of course, how could I possibly take offense at having Junior Sister Gu, a direct disciple, visit Tianlan Peak?"
Her tone then shifted, "But may I ask what brings Junior Sister Gu here this time?"
Gu Linruo seemed no less than her own in any aspect, especially in those softer areas that were slightly more developed than her own!
No wonder she could attract Junior Brother Xu! So that was the reason!
Gu Linruo's brows furrowed slightly. She now felt certain that Elder Sister Mo in front of her indeed bore hostility towards her!
But she had never provoked the other party, and for a moment she couldn't guess the reason...
Suppressing the doubt in her heart, Gu Linruo tried to make her words sound as sincere as possible, "Elder Sister Mo, I'm here to find Xu Sheng and to thank him."
Mo Qingyue's composure turned cold as she responded without a change in expression, "Junior Brother Xu? He should be drunk by now, resting in my room!"
Even if you've come, what does it matter? Junior Brother Xu is in my room right now, and upon hearing this, Gu Linruo should sense the hint and leave of her own accord...
Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes grew increasingly solemn, "Elder Sister Mo, Junior Brother Xu is... resting in your room?"
Why would Junior Brother Xu be resting in Mo Qingyue's room?
And for him, a powerhouse at the Void Refining Stage, to get drunk?
Who would believe such a story? There must be more to it!
Mo Qingyue spread her hands in feigned helplessness, "That's right! Maybe he walked into the wrong room after getting drunk, but who am I to turn him away as his senior sister."
Sensing Mo Qingyue's hostility towards her intensifying, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes also grew colder...
She spoke with a detached tone, "Is that so?! Fortunately, I have just the antidote here, capable of handling either poisoning or drunkenness."
This Mo Qingyue must be hiding something, every move she makes seems to be rebuffing me!
Mo Qingyue's face darkened, and between gritted teeth she thought, "Is Gu Linruo challenging me? It's clear I'm giving her the signal to leave!"
With a forced smile and suppressing the anger within, she said, "Junior Brother Xu is already sound asleep, so there's no need for Junior Sister Gu's trouble!"
Narrowing her eyes, Gu Linruo challenged, "Elder Sister Mo, why do you insist on obstructing me so much? Could it be you're hiding something shameful?"
Seeing that Gu Linruo continued to be insistently unreasonable, Mo Qingyue said coldly, "Junior Sister Gu, you can eat more, but you can't just say whatever you like!"
After these words, her imposing aura spread out in an instant—her Cultivation Level was at the Golden Core Stage Seventh Level!
Suddenly, a cherry-pink umbrella-like weapon flew out from the courtyard, landing in her hand...
It looked quite charming at first glance!
Gu Linruo, who had just advanced to the Golden Core Stage Fourth Layer, stumbled back a few steps under this shock, thinking to herself, "How strong! Is this the strength of a Tianlan Peak disciple?"
It was said that the chief disciple of Tianlan Peak had stepped into the Nascent Soul Stage, and now it seemed not impossible!
Although surprised by Mo Qingyue's Cultivation Level, there wasn't a trace of fear on her face as she took out another purple personal sword from her Storage Cosmos Bag!
When she gripped her purple personal sword tightly, she cautiously eyed Mo Qingyue ahead...
Mo Qingyue said in a cold voice, "Since junior sister insists on being so unreasonable, let me give you some guidance!"
After her words fell, she attacked Gu Linruo with the Cherry Blossom Umbrella...
"Bang!" The personal sword collided with the tip of the umbrella, sparking bright flames; the tremendous force from Mo Qingyue made Gu Linruo take several steps back...
She barely managed to stabilize her form and inwardly exclaimed, "So strong!"
Immediately after, she resolutely let her mind resonate with her personal sword...
Earth-tier Martial Technique, Body and Sword as One!
In an instant, her strength surged dramatically, reaching the might comparable to the Golden Core Stage Sixth Layer!
Seeing this, Mo Qingyue squinted and said, "A Martial Technique that briefly enhances strength? Hmph, overestimating yourself!"
The next moment, she said coldly, "Profound Grade Top-Tier Martial Technique, Cherry Blossom Fall!"
Her Martial Techniques were certainly not learned within the Xuantian Sect!
She unleashed a burst of spiritual power, sending the Cherry Blossom Umbrella soaring into mid-air, where it began to spin rapidly...
Following that, an array of fresh and delicate cherry blossoms slowly fluttered down from above. As some petals precisely obscured Gu Linruo's vision, Mo Qingyue's figure had already vanished...
When the blossoms blocking her view fell, all was empty ahead...
Gu Linruo's spirit became alert, "What Martial Technique is this? I've never seen it in the Xuantian Sect!"
While pondering, a sharp pain suddenly emanated from her back. Enduring the pain, she turned her head, only to see the fleeting, sinister smile of Mo Qingyue's illusion—next moment, hidden from sight again...
Gu Linruo said coldly, "Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"
She released her spiritual power swiftly, transforming it into hundreds of spirit swords emanating cold light and rapidly orbiting around her...
The sharp spirit swords continued to slice the air, yet no anomaly appeared, clearly missing Mo Qingyue!
Suddenly, a cold voice came from above, "Junior Sister Gu, are you attacking the air?"
Gu Linruo exclaimed, "What? Up there?!"
She instinctively tightened her grip on her personal sword and slashed at Mo Qingyue appearing above—however, as expected, she went right through her soft body...
The illusion faintly revealed a smile...
In an instant, another wave of intense pain struck Gu Linruo's back, causing her blood to churn, and she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood with a "puh"...
From the empty scenery came Mo Qingyue's cold voice, "Junior Sister Gu, you should go back. If the disciples from Miao Miao Peak find out I've injured you, it will be troublesome!"
Gu Linruo, enduring the pain without crouching, suddenly had a bright idea, "That's right! Just attack that umbrella in the air!"
Without those cherry blossoms, she surely couldn't conceal herself!
And if she could just get close to Mo Qingyue, she would have a threefold certainty of defeating her!
The next moment, she took a deep breath and said calmly to the surroundings, "Elder Sister Mo, I won't give up!"
