I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 384 Martial Arts Tournament 2

"Are you looking at me?" Xie Xiyan turned his head to look at her, a faint smile on his lips. "Are you satisfied?"

Yun Qingyi simply blinked, showing no embarrassment at being caught, since she hadn't been secretly looking at it. "Yes, it's very beautiful."

It gave a very fair evaluation.

"Hahaha." Xie Xiyan couldn't help but laugh out loud. His clear and unrestrained laughter was filled with a hint of cheerfulness. He looked at Yun Qingyi seriously and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Qingyi. It's an honor."

A gentle evening breeze blew by as the two gazed at each other. Yun Qingyi didn't know how she felt, but the eye contact didn't make her feel awkward or uncomfortable. On the contrary, it gave her a relaxed and pleasant feeling.

Seeing her hair, which was slightly disheveled by the evening breeze, Xie Xiyan reached out to tidy it up for her. He paused halfway up his hand, looked into Yun Qingyi's eyes, and asked, "Is that alright?"

"Ah."

……

Nighttime, Xie Xiyan's room.

"Aaaaaah!" The figure on the bed rolled around in her blanket, crying out, "Master! Master! She promised to go to Chaoxia Mountain with me!"

Ling Xuzi: "I understand, I understand."

"She even looked at me and said I was pretty!"

Ling Xuzi: "I understand, I understand."

"She made me take my candy!"

Ling Xuzi: "I understand, I understand."

"She even let me fix her hair!!"

Ling Xuzi finally couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I already said I know! I know! Are you ever going to stop? You've been shouting and muttering to yourself for most of the night. No wonder you set up a barrier as soon as you got back. What? You want to relive this for days? Don't go to sleep, this old man wants to sleep too!"

Xie Xiyan: "What the hell? What do you mean you want to sleep?"

Ling Xuzi was taken aback, but retorted stubbornly, "Who says ghosts can't sleep? I'll sleep right now and show you!"

To his surprise, Xie Xiyan ignored him completely and continued to roll around in the blanket.

On the other side, Yun Qingyi was also not asleep, but unlike Xie Xiyan, she was trying hard to find the key points in the Cold Bound Wild Dream that day, but she still came up empty-handed.

When I opened my eyes, it would be a lie to say I wasn't frustrated. The Hundred Flowers Sect's affairs were still unresolved, Leng Fuhuang was eyeing me covetously from behind, and in between was Yun Yu'er, who knew what kind of demon she might be up to.

Yun Yu'er didn't encounter Ao Jin when she passed through Lancheng this time, so she must have guessed that it was her who took the phoenix egg. I wonder what her expression will be when they meet again.

The first three days of the martial arts tournament are for disciples of each sect to rest and recuperate; the tournament truly begins on the fourth day.

Yun Qingyi thought that most of the sects should have arrived by now, and the slower ones would arrive tomorrow, such as their Xuanmiao Sect.

The Purple Cloud Sect is neither far nor near the Mysterious Misty Sect. It would only take half a day to get there by flying boat, but Master had something come up and postponed it, so it took a little longer.

In addition to the martial arts tournament, there were also matters concerning Duan Leizhi and the Hundred Flowers Sect, and the matter of Ruan Qi's younger sister, Shang Yan, on this trip to Zixiao Sect.

Yun Qingyi pondered deeply. The entire Shang family had been wiped out, leaving only her alive. Shang Yan must have known who did it long ago.

It's not that I'm worried about what Shang Yan will do to the Xuanmiao Sect. After all, she's just a disciple of the Zixiao Sect. No matter how favored she is as the sect leader's closed-door disciple, she can't possibly go head-to-head with the Xuanmiao Sect.

Yun Qingyi's confidence in her abilities is beyond question.

However, although they might not be able to deal with her and her senior brothers, it's still very possible that they would target Ruan Qi, since, in reality, the massacre of the Shang family was indeed indelibly related to Ruan Qi.

Therefore, it is very likely that Shang Yan transferred all her hatred for the destruction of the Shang family onto Ruan Qi.

Yun Qingyi pondered a corresponding strategy, took stock of several spiritual treasures from her storage bracelet, and planned to hand them over to Ruan Qi tomorrow. These were all spiritual treasures that were good at both offense and defense. Although most of them had a limited number of uses, their effects were much better than spiritual weapons of the same grade.

Since they are consumables, we should prepare several.

After taking inventory, Yun Qingyi took out an empty storage ring, put all the spiritual treasures inside, and then put them back into her storage bracelet.

Next, we need to figure out how to deal with Duan Leizhi.

She had a plan for this matter a long time ago, but none of them were perfect, because Yun Qingyi remembered what Pang San had said—the Zixiao Sect Library.

She remembered that Pang San had said that the library was alive, which piqued her interest. So, she wanted to make good use of Duan Lei's situation and figure out how to find out about the library.

She thought about it all night. As dawn broke, Yun Qingyi hadn't slept all night. However, since she started cultivating, she rarely slept, and it was common for her to go for months without sleep.

With her current cultivation level, whether she sleeps or not makes little difference.

After tidying up a bit, I opened the door to my room and found that Yun Qingrou had also opened her door at the same time. "Sister..."

Yun Qingrou walked over naturally, seemingly no longer avoiding her as she had a few days ago. Sensing the change, Yun Qingyi smiled with relief: "Rub her head, how are you feeling?"

Yun Qingrou lowered her head to make it easier for Yun Qingyi to touch her, and her eyes flickered slightly. "Much better." She only said three words, clearly not wanting to talk more.

Yun Qingyi wasn't disappointed. She thought it was already amazing that Yun Qingrou had recovered to her current state in just a few days. "Arou is amazing! I knew Arou was the best!" That's what she thought, and that's what she said.

Hearing Yun Qingyi's encouragement, Yun Qingrou's eyes softened considerably.

She did expend a great deal of effort to suppress the negative forces within her body. Fortunately, the sect leader had given her the jade pendant that suppressed the voice; otherwise, the situation would have been even worse.

She felt that the more she resisted, the more rampant those things, which were different from spiritual power, became, frantically trying to wreak havoc inside her.

Those things seemed to originate from her own being; if she wasn't mistaken, then their other name was demonic energy.

Demonic energy...

Hehe... That's right, I am a demon, so it's perfectly normal to have demonic energy in my body.

Having figured this out, Yun Qingrou has begun to try to make the two powers, namely spiritual power and demonic energy, coexist.

Fortunately, her method worked, so this time it was easy to suppress the situation.
