The Cool and Aloof Senior Sister Always Flirts with Me

Chapter 28: Climbing the Mountain

For some unknown reason, Qi Xianqing had just felt a hint of... familiarity from Yan Jue.

Yan Jue, crawling by her legs, looked just like a little fox baby.

Even those clear amber-colored eyes were identical.

After hesitating for a moment, Qi Xianqing tossed her two sandbags: "Tie these to your legs and climb to the top of Qihu Peak."

Yan Jue held the two sandbags and was slightly taken aback: "What about you?"

Qi Xianqing, hands clasped behind her back, leisurely followed behind her: "It's your first time climbing a mountain today, so naturally, I'll follow."

"Let me say this first: although you've become my disciple, if you don't abide by the rules of the Five Dragon Sect, I can still withdraw at any time."

Yan Jue was so excited she didn't know what to say.

God knows how long she had been craving Qi Xianqing's martial arts skills.

Yan Jue replied, "Senior Sister, what are you talking about? Now that I'm learning from you, I naturally won't break the rules of the Five Dragon Sect, so don't worry!"

At first, Yan Jue thought Qi Xianqing was making a big deal out of nothing.

It was just climbing a mountain; why did she need to follow her?

In the end, Yan Jue deeply recognized her mistake.

The sun blazed down.

Yan Jue slowly climbed the mountain.

The two sandbags that Qi Xianqing had given her were tightly bound to her legs, feeling as if they weighed a ton, making it hard to lift her legs.

Moreover, Yan Jue suspected that the bags didn't contain sand at all but were filled with dense spiritual energy.

It seemed that every time she went uphill, the bags felt heavier.

When going downhill, they felt lighter.

"..."

Yan Jue gritted her teeth, soon drenched in sweat, her legs trembling uncontrollably.

So tired...

I can't move anymore...

Qi Xianqing, holding her long sword, casually followed behind her. With a "thwack," she struck Yan Jue's leg with her sword: "You're moving too slowly; speed up."

Yan Jue let out a small sound and looked up at her resentfully: "I'm too tired... Can we take a break?"

Qi Xianqing's cold face showed no sign of emotion: "If you rest once, we'll have to descend and start over."

"..."

Yan Jue could only grit her teeth and take another step.

What used to feel like an easy mountain path suddenly turned into a mountain of knives and a sea of flames.

The sun beat down on her, feeling as if she were being scorched.

After about an incense stick's worth of time, they finally reached the suspension bridge.

Yan Jue gradually felt that she had found the rhythm of the lightness skill Qi Xianqing had taught her, moving faster and faster.

First step... then push off...

Yan Jue recounted the steps in her mind, feeling quite pleased with herself.

Suddenly, something hard jabbed into her lower back.
