Chapter 467: Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Very Stressful

“Situ Qingqing!”

Yuan Kou Xuan was furious, glaring at her. She was truly angry. Last time, Xiao Qing didn't take good care of their master, causing him to lose all his cultivation. She didn't expect it to happen again today, making her so angry that she even called Xiao Qing by her full name.

Ji Hongluan didn't speak, but her eyes turned cold, clearly also angry.

The two walked quickly into the room, one after the other. Yuan Kou Xuan stared at Situ Qingqing, suppressing her anger, and asked:

“What exactly happened?”

Situ Qingqing lowered her head guiltily and said softly, “It's like this, Eldest Senior Sister…”

She didn't dare to hide anything and told them the whole story.

Ji Hongluan and Yuan Kou Xuan didn't know what to say after hearing it.

Yuan Kou Xuan didn't want to let Situ Qingqing off so easily. She reached out and poked Xiao Qing's forehead, saying in a disappointed tone:

“If you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Don't think about being a lone wolf next time. Team up with other senior and junior sisters!”

Ji Hongluan also said from the side, “Xiao Qing, I don't know what to say to you. It's not enough to just study some clever tricks. You need to be strong yourself. Don't even mention you, even I don't dare to fight alone. I've said all I need to say. Reflect on it!”

Situ Qingqing was scolded by the two and didn't dare to argue at all. She lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears, but she didn't dare to let the tears fall. She could only hold them back, biting her lip tightly, not even daring to make a whimpering sound.

Seeing Situ Qingqing's pitiful appearance, Yuan Kou Xuan and Ji Hongluan shook their heads together. Their hearts softened, and they didn't discipline her any further. Instead, they quickly walked to Xu Yang's side.

Yuan Kou Xuan leaned over and checked her master's condition, softly asking, “Master, are you still conscious?”

“Very conscious, no, Xuan'er, why do I see several of you!” Xu Yang said with a slightly puzzled tone.

“Master, you're still dizzy, but don't worry, your disciple will save you!” Yuan Kou Xuan quickly got into the zone and also got Xiao Hongluan into the zone.

Ji Hongluan glared at Xu Yang angrily and said, “Xuan'er, I don't need your help!”

“Alright, Senior Sister Hongluan, now is not the time to be reserved. Saving Master is the most important thing!” Yuan Kou Xuan had no time to argue with Ji Hongluan. In her eyes, nothing was more important than their master. Everything else had to be put behind their master.

“Who's being reserved!” Ji Hongluan said angrily. She glanced at Xu Yang and said hatefully, “Let you eat grass by the nest, now you've gotten into trouble!”

Although she said that, her actions were no slower than Yuan Kou Xuan's.

Yuan Kou Xuan directed efficiently, “Senior Sister Hongluan, you stand on that side, everyone else don't move. I'll stand here. We'll work together. It shouldn't take long for Master to recover!”

“Okay, Eldest Senior Sister.”

“Okay, Xuan'er.”

Everyone agreed together.

“Eldest Senior Sister, what can I do to help Master?”

Situ Qingqing wiped her eyes, her eyes red, and approached, asking expectantly.

“There's no place for you here. Just watch from the side and don't affect us.” Yuan Kou Xuan's voice was cold.

“……”

Situ Qingqing's expression froze. She wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything. She just moved her lips a few times, wanting to speak but stopping, and prepared to go to the side, not daring or willing to affect their rescue of their master.

Just when she was full of disappointment.

A hand grabbed her hand, not letting her leave.

Situ Qingqing looked over blankly and saw that it was her own master who had grabbed her. Although she didn't hear her master speak, she understood her master's intention. Her master didn't want her to leave, wanting her to stay by her side, even if she couldn't help.

Situ Qingqing was very touched by her master's actions. The disappointment and loneliness she had just accumulated disappeared in an instant, just like smoke dissipating, replaced by a clear sky.

Yuan Kou Xuan also saw her master's little actions, but didn't think much about it, because her master treated every disciple equally. This was normal. Since her master didn't want Xiao Qing to be sad, then let her stay here!

While she was trying her best to help her master, she also checked her master's condition. Seeing that her master had improved slightly, her tense mind relaxed a little, but she didn't dare to relax too much. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said:

“Little Koi, keep up the good work on your side. Sister Xinya, try that method from last time. Yu'er, if you're tired, switch people. As for Wan'er, Dongying, you're doing great now, keep it up. Senior Sister Hongluan, don't hold back, use any methods you have!”

Ji Hongluan couldn't help but retort after hearing Yuan Kou Xuan's words:

“Xuan'er, are you targeting me? Look at the sweat on my forehead, it's no less than yours, and you still say I'm holding back? Do you have a conscience?”

Situ Qingqing was particularly observant in order to atone for her sins. She took a handkerchief and very proactively came to Ji Hongluan to wipe her sweat, without any other unnecessary actions. She would proactively run over to wipe the sweat off anyone's face, trying not to be annoying.

“Senior Sister Hongluan, I don't mean that. I mean, don't hide the things you learned from Xiao Qing's books. Use them when you need to. When else are you going to use them!”

Ji Hongluan had a hard time saying. She had used them all not long ago, and now they were all in a cooldown state. If she used them again, it was likely that she would lose her health bar. She thought about it and asked:

“Xuan'er, aren't you the same? Why aren't you using them?”

“Senior Sister Hongluan, I've already been using them. Otherwise, why do you think Master is getting better? Forget it, if you don't want to use them, then don't. It's good to keep it like this!”

Yuan Kou Xuan also saw something. She guessed that the Sect Leader skill had just been used, so she didn't force it.

The others pretended not to hear this conversation, because Ji Hongluan and Yuan Kou Xuan's combat power were among the top in their ranks. They were qualified to learn Xiao Qing's collection of books to enrich themselves, and what they needed to do now was to first improve their combat power and then talk about other things.

After an incense stick of time.

Yuan Kou Xuan said, “Who will block Master's mouth? I'm afraid he'll bite his tongue.”

Xue Jinli frowned and leaned back.

The others were also doing their jobs and couldn't spare a hand.

Situ Qingqing had been wiping sweat on the side for a long time, waiting for such an opportunity to make amends, so as soon as Yuan Kou Xuan finished speaking, she jumped out and volunteered:

“Eldest Senior Sister, I'll do it!”

“Okay, Xiao Qing, don't mess it up this time.”

Yuan Kou Xuan instructed.

Situ Qingqing nodded firmly: “Don't worry, Eldest Senior Sister.”

……

……

Two hours later.

Xu Yang's breathing gradually stabilized. He closed his eyes and slept very peacefully.

And around him, there was a circle of people lying down, all exhausted, their clothes soaked with sweat, and pieces of clothing scattered everywhere.

“Master is finally alright.” Yuan Kou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. She sat up with difficulty and said to the others seriously:

“This time, thanks to the joint efforts of our sisters, we were able to pull Master back from the gates of hell!”

Losing control of one's Qi and blood was never a small matter. At best, one would become a fool, and at worst, one would become a mindless walking corpse. None of them could accept either outcome.

“It's all we should do.”

The crowd responded softly.

They were afraid of disturbing their master's rest. In reality, they didn't even have the strength to speak. If they weren't afraid that their master would still need them, they might have fainted by now.

“Alright, Xuan'er, you put in the most effort just now and are also the most tired, so don't force yourself. Lie down when you need to!”

Although Ji Hongluan often argued with Yuan Kou Xuan, Ji Hongluan was often the one who felt the most sorry for Yuan Kou Xuan at times like this. Perhaps this was what was meant by mutual appreciation!

“Okay.” Yuan Kou Xuan didn't reject Ji Hongluan's kindness, because she was indeed relying on her willpower to sit up now. She slowly lay down and exhaled very softly:

“Master has given us a warning this time. Xiao Qing is an exception. She was the main culprit, so I won't blame her too much. Others, please pay attention next time. Don't be reckless just to satisfy your momentary cravings. You must think twice and consider whether your own combat power can support your ideas. If you can't support them, then team up directly without any hesitation.”

“Understood, Eldest Senior Sister.”

“Okay, Xuan'er, I'll look for you next time!” Ji Hongluan decided not to be so stubborn. Next time, she would let Xuan'er go first and let her welcome the baptism of the storm.

“Xuan'er, count me in too!” Tu Shan Xinya had teamed up with the two of them two or three times and was very skilled at cooperating, so she naturally didn't want to find a new partner.

Situ Qingqing looked expectantly at Ruan Yu'er, but Ruan Yu'er deliberately looked elsewhere, not wanting to meet her eyes. She then turned her gaze to the others, but the others were the same, which made her feel a little sad, but she couldn't say anything, because this time she had wanted to eat alone first.

“Eldest Senior Sister, Sect Leader, I was wrong. I won't eat alone again next time. I apologize. I hope you can forgive me this time because it's my first offense!”

Situ Qingqing apologized sincerely.

“What's the use of just saying it.”

Ruan Yu'er moved her lips. She was the least tired of everyone, because she had left all the dirty work to her 'sister'. She was only responsible for the finishing work. Of course, her body was still extremely exhausted, but her spirit was okay.

“Then Senior Sister Yu'er, what do you want me to do?” Situ Qingqing lowered her posture. She had had a very stiff relationship with Ruan Yu'er because of some things before, and they had even blacklisted each other. Now she wanted to repair this relationship.

“What else can you do? Let's write a letter of guarantee!”

At this time, Xue Jinli, who was on the side, also spoke.

She knew Xiao Qing's personality very well. She was always fond of eating alone. Before, when exploring the Qiyuan Secret Treasure, if she hadn't taken Xiao Qing's measure and threatened to report her to the Eldest Senior Sister, Xiao Qing might not have agreed to help her. As for why she helped her later, it was because Xiao Qing couldn't handle it alone.

“Okay, then let's write a letter of guarantee.”

Situ Qingqing agreed very readily.

She took out paper and pen from her Qiankun bag, lay on the ground, and wrote very carefully. Soon, she wrote the letter of guarantee, and in order to show fairness, she specially handed the letter of guarantee to Yuan Kou Xuan.

Yuan Kou Xuan took the letter of guarantee, looked at the contents above, and read it out:

“I, Situ Qingqing, guarantee in the name of my master that I will never hide from my sisters and eat alone next time. If I commit the offense again, I will be punished to be alone for the rest of my life and never see my master again.

——Situ Qingqing.”

“Alright, this punishment is quite heavy, never being able to see Master for the rest of your life, tsk tsk.” Xue Jinli said.

“Hey, Xiao Qing, why are you writing a letter of guarantee? Do you think I can't believe what you say?” Ruan Yu'er teased deliberately.

Situ Qingqing knew that Senior Sister Yu'er had forgiven her and was going to reconcile with her, so she immediately responded:

“Whether you believe it or not, I'll call on Senior Sister Yu'er next time!”

Ruan Yu'er quickly waved her hand and refused: “Don't, what's the use of just calling me? Aren't we both very weak?”

“I didn't say I was only calling you, there's also Wan'er and Dongying!” Situ Qingqing blinked her eyes.

“Senior Sister Qing'er, don't count on me, I'm also very weak!” Qin Kewan said weakly.

“I can't either.” Xu Dongying said with a red face.

“Then……” Situ Qingqing paused and placed her gaze on Xue Jinli, asking nervously:

“Third Senior Sister, what about you?”

“Not sincere, you called me last, I don't want to be with you!” Xue Jinli curled her lips and said unwillingly.

“Oh, Third Senior Sister, my good senior sister, Senior Sister Jinli, please, please join us!” Situ Qingqing snuggled up to Xue Jinli and kept acting coquettishly.

“You know to call me senior sister at this time.” Xue Jinli still didn't let go.

Seeing this, Ruan Yu'er also put on a smile and leaned on Xue Jinli, saying warmly: “Junior Sister Jinli, we used to have the best relationship, so it's most appropriate for you to join us.”

“Now you know I'm the best, why didn't you say so earlier, and you even called me Old Eighth in front of everyone before, I don't want to be with you!” Xue Jinli deliberately sulked.

“Senior sister was wrong, why don't you hit me?” Ruan Yu'er apologized.

“Okay, I've wanted to hit you for a long time!” Xue Jinli said fiercely. She raised her hand and slapped Ruan Yu'er's back hard.

Pa!

The sound was very crisp, like setting off firecrackers.

Ruan Yu'er's cheeks flushed red all of a sudden. She said in shame and anger:

“Little Koi, why did you really hit me!”

“What? Didn't you say so? If you're unwilling, I'll let you hit me back.” Xue Jinli said casually.

Hearing this, Ruan Yu'er couldn't help but say awkwardly: “Look at what you're saying, words spoken are like water thrown out, how could I be unwilling, I was just joking with you just now!”

“But then again, now that you've hit me, shouldn't you agree to us?”

Situ Qingqing also looked at Xue Jinli: “That's right, Senior Sister Jinli, you should agree to us!”

Xue Jinli shook her head and said: “No, did you guys get it wrong, I didn't say that after hitting Senior Sister Yu'er, I would agree to you, I still have to consider carefully, deliberate, and you are all weaklings, if I were to join you, I would be under a lot of pressure……”
