Chapter 617: Chapter 277: Honesty and Devotion
Night fell.
Xiyue Peak.
Qiu Zhihe’s room.
"Husband, your heart is not pure, how can you cultivate?"
Qin Gengyun sat cross-legged on the bed, while Qiu Zhihe sat beside him, speaking coldly.
Qin Gengyun opened his eyes, sighed, and said, "Wife, do you think Senior Sister Suxin will really question her master?"
Qiu Zhihe sneered, "Even if Tantai Mingyue is indeed involved with Spirit Corpse Mountain like Chen Qingmo, Suxin is her disciple and definitely won’t be able to do anything. In the end, we will have to rely on ourselves."
Qin Gengyun nodded, "What you say is true, wife. What should we do next?"
Qiu Zhihe laughed coldly, "If I’m not wrong, Zhenyang Sect will soon be in chaos, and we will naturally have opportunities then."
Qin Gengyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up and grabbed Qiu Zhihe’s hand, pinning her onto the bed.
"Uh."
The Phoenix Bird Beast lay to the side, lazily glancing over, clearly accustomed to the scene.
Qiu Zhihe was startled, her cheeks slightly reddened. "Husband, what are you doing?"
Qin Gengyun chuckled, "Wife, only a few people in Zhenyang Sect know about the deaths of Wei Shouyuan and Shi Shuhong. How did the news suddenly spread across the world?"
"Husband, what are you talking about, I don’t understand."
Qiu Zhihe’s hands were pinned beside her head, her eyes unable to meet Qin Gengyun’s, whether from embarrassment or guilt.
Qin Gengyun leaned down, Qiu Zhihe instinctively closed her eyes, but after a moment, there was no soft kiss on her lips. Instead, her husband’s teasing voice came to her ear:
"Wife, you encountered fellow disciples on Cyan Lotus Mountain. If they spread the news using some means, it wouldn’t be difficult, would it?"
"In this way, with the news of the two elders’ deaths spreading in Zhenyang Sect, the balance among the Three Great Sects will surely be disrupted, making our actions much more convenient."
"Wife, you are wise and resourceful, planning without fail, but why must you hide it from me?"
Qin Gengyun’s intense masculine aura brushed against Qiu Zhihe’s ear, making her body go soft, leaving her without the strength to resist. Her voice became weak:
"Husband, I’ve got nothing to hide from you, really."
"Is that so?" Qin Gengyun’s body pressed down, and Qiu Zhihe let out a light exclamation, her neck turning pink.
Gugu.
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden shook her bird head in frustration, these two really treated her as just a bird, daring to do such things without considering her presence.
It truly is too much to bully a bird!
"Ah..."
Another prolonged sigh rang out, and the Celestial Phoenix Maiden covered her bird face with her wings, refusing to look.
Moments later, Qin Gengyun got up, and below him, Qiu Zhihe’s soft lips were even more red, her eyes hazy, like spring waters.
"Husband......"
She suddenly opened her eyes wide, seeing Qin Gengyun raise his palm high.
Pa!
Ouch!
The Celestial Phoenix Maiden wrapped her wings around her ears but couldn’t completely block out the embarrassing sounds, feeling a deep sorrow inside.
Can you consider my feelings as a bird?!
After a series of punishments, Qiu Zhihe was disheveled and weak, pleading for mercy:
"Husband, stop hitting, I know I was wrong..."
"What was wrong?" Qin Gengyun stood over her, like the head of a household.
Qiu Zhihe weakly replied, "Whatever Husband says was wrong, I was wrong."
"Really, still not admitting?" Qin Gengyun raised his hand again, "Today you must be well punished until you explain everything clearly!"
Suddenly, Qiu Zhihe’s eyes turned cold, and she jumped up from the bed:
"Someone’s coming!"
Qin Gengyun sensed it too and got off the bed. Before they could straighten themselves, a gentle voice called from outside the door:
"Ruo Mei, He Zhiqiu, are you inside?"
They exchanged a glance, and Qiu Zhihe’s expression returned to its usual coldness, moving to open the door.
A woman in a plain white dress, with an elegant demeanor, stood at the door. She smiled gently, yet there was a hint of mature womanly charm between her brows.
Qiu Zhihe calmly said, "Junior Martial Uncle Tantai."
Tantai Mingyue entered the room, noticing Qin Gengyun. Without surprise, she went straight to the tea table to sit, glancing around until her eyes landed on the Phoenix Bird Beast.
"Unexpectedly, besides the Feiyun Sect, there’s another Phoenix Bird Beast in the world. I wonder how did Junior He tame it?"
Qin Gengyun replied, "I encountered it by chance on the Celestial Phoenix Mountain. Perhaps this Phoenix Bird Beast is fated with me."
Tantai Mingyue maintained her smile, "I’ve heard about the incident on Celestial Phoenix Mountain. For Junior He to tame the ferocious Celestial Phoenix Maiden alone is no easy feat."
The Phoenix Maiden’s bird face was full of question marks. They nearly killed the bird couple, where was the ferocity?
"Sect Leader Uncle praises me too much."
Qin Gengyun replied calmly.
Tantai Mingyue said no more, scrutinizing the two. Only then did she notice Qin Gengyun’s somewhat disheveled clothes. Looking at Qiu Zhihe, her hair slightly messy, skirt awry, and a faint blush on her face.
Instinctively glancing at the bed, she found it a bit wrinkled, evidently it bore some activity earlier.
Tantai Mingyue immediately understood, her expression slightly awkward, she coughed lightly, and said slowly:
"It’s been only two years since you both joined our Zhenyang Sect, yet you have achieved many astonishing feats. Initially, I thought it was due to your natural brilliance, and I felt only gratification. But lately, too many things have happened in the sect, so I must think more."
"I heard that in the Joyful Union Sect, Junior Niece Ruo seems to have many enigmatic behaviors. Junior He on Cyan Lotus Mountain also has some entanglements with that eerie residual soul."
"What do you both have to say?"
Qiu Zhihe said flatly, "Is the Sect Leader Uncle suggesting that we shouldn’t have taken action to save our fellow disciples?"
Tantai Mingyue looked at her, smile still gentle, "Junior Sister was once timid and weak. I didn’t expect that you’ve become so fierce. Speaking of which, I was going to check your foundation last time but was interrupted. Shall we continue today?"
Saying this, she actually stood and reached for Qiu Zhihe’s wrist.
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes turned cold as she was about to take action. Suddenly, Suxin’s voice called from outside:
"Master, are you inside?"
Tantai Mingyue paused and sighed slightly, responding: "Xin’Er, how do you know I’m here?"
Suxin anxiously said outside, "Master, people from Thunder Sword Sect, Feiyun Sect, and Western Emperor Palace have arrived!"
Tantai Mingyue’s expression changed slightly. She glanced at Qiu Zhihe and Qin Gengyun, her figure flickered as she left the room.
Seeing her, Suxin immediately approached, "Master, people from Thunder Sword Sect, Feiyun Sect, and Western Emperor Palace are certainly here to test us. What should we do?"
Tantai Mingyue was gloomy, "You come with me to meet them!"
"Yes."
The master and disciple quickly flew out of Xiyue Peak towards the Peak Master Hall. Tantai Mingyue paused suddenly, and Suxin spoke:
"Xin’Er, you always remain calm in major events. Why are you so anxious today?"
Suxin lowered her head, silent.
Tantai Mingyue looked at her, "Did you intentionally come to stop me from probing He Zhiqiu and Ruo Mei?"
