I don't talk about love with my Martial Sister

Chapter 17

Shang Can's voice was slightly hoarse, different from its usual clarity.

This abnormality was easily noticeable, and Yun Duan lowered her shoulders slightly, shaking her head slowly.

"You still won't say it."

Even though Yun Duan's expression remained calm, Shang Can seemed to sense a hint of despondency in her.

Her gaze fell vacantly on the horizon, and after a moment, she suddenly walked over to Yun Duan.

"I've said it; it's just that the Cloud Sovereign doesn't believe me."

As she spoke, Shang Can continued walking forward under Yun Duan's unwavering gaze until she stood right in front of her. Suddenly, she reached out, carelessly giving Yun Duan's shoulder a gentle push.

"Don't move, Cloud Sovereign." Feeling the smoothness of Yun Duan's shoulder more easily than expected, Shang Can suppressed her inner frustration and said softly, "I don't want to make a move against you."

Yun Duan's eyes held confusion, but she obediently took two steps back as if yielding to Shang Can's strength. Seeing this, Shang Can silently jumped back, retreating to the entrance of the Bi Luo Huang Quan, her palm touching the barrier at the entrance, causing the spiritual energy to gather into a faint golden light.

She didn't turn back, but lifted her gaze again towards the horizon. At this moment, Yun Duan seemed to feel something too, looking in the same direction as her.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Shang Can asked softly, her tone tinged with guilt.

"The Night Ravens must have watched you for a long time before confirming that you know this place is the entrance to Bi Luo Huang Quan. If only I had come here sooner."

Gradually, a series of sword sounds, sharp and piercing, came from the horizon. Yun Duan's expression changed, and she turned to Shang Can, intending to take a step forward, but found her feet ensnared by delicate fire dragons, only preventing her from approaching Shang Can. It didn't feel hot at all; to an untrained eye, it looked like the pattern on her white boots covered in snow.

"...Shang Can, you—"

"I should take you to eat something first."

Shang Can's low voice was drowned out by the increasingly loud sounds of flying swords. She looked at the small black dots in the sky that were gradually approaching, revealing clear human forms, and arched her brows leisurely.

As the first cultivator landed on his sword, Shang Can had just completed reinforcing the barrier at Bi Luo Huang Quan, preventing outsiders from entering while also stopping any demons inside from breaking out.

"So many people have come."

In front of her stood cultivators from various sects, at least over a hundred of them.

Truly, the call of Tian Wai Tian commanded great respect across the entire realm of cultivation.

After all, Tian Wai Tian was not only the most renowned but also possessed formidable power. Rumor had it that the sect leader, who had been in seclusion for thirty years, was the closest person to ascension in the current cultivation world. What's more, Tian Wai Tian was generous to all sects, welcoming their disciples every year for study tours and crafting spiritual artifacts for the outstanding individuals among them. Tian Wai Tian was particularly skilled in crafting tools, producing items of exceptional quality.

The Wuyou that Yun Duan was currently using also originated from Tian Wai Tian, and Qing Yu owed Tian Wai Tian quite a few favors, making it difficult for her to decline their invitation.
