Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1754

Number 327, who said that she was full after eating three sticks, was lying. All the sticks of candied haw that Qin Yu purchased afterwards went in her tummy as well.

Though Qin Yu did not express any emotions at this, Number 327 still felt annoyed as she walked behind him. She thought to herself, what is wrong with me?

She actually behaved like this in front of Qin Yu. 

As she stared at Qin Yu’s back, she subconsciously bit on her lips and was in a daze for a while. 

Bom –

She knocked into his back. 

“Ah, Sect Master Qin, sorry, I…did not notice…” Number 327 waved her hands as her face flushed. 

Qin Yu turned and smiled, “It is just a small knock. It is fine.” He patted his tummy, “I am slightly hungry, let’s go and eat.”

Choosing a good seat, he let the waiter choose a few good dishes for them. Qin Yu then gestured, “Why are you standing, sit.”

Number 327 hesitated before sitting across from him. 

The speed at which the dishes were served were very fast. Not long after they sat down, a few cold and hot dishes were delivered. According to the waiter’s recommendations, he also bought a special wine brewed in East Sword City. The taste was so-so.

Qin Yu casually drank two sips before picking up his chopsticks, “Eat.”

Number 327 could not understand what Qin Yu was thinking. She was already feeling slightly uneasy and the feeling grew even more. 

It was because Qin Yu’s behavior today was too strange. 

He had dragged her out to walk around and even ate at a restaurant. Was he just enjoying the feeling of pretending to be someone unimportant, or did he have another motive?

Looking at how Qin Yu was comfortably eating and drinking, Number 327 felt that it was not the first reason. 

All of a sudden, her heart fell and she panicked…before she left Long Mountain Area, her elder had looked for her to tell her some things. 

Initially, she had thought that the elder was thinking too much. After all, how could a King realm swordsman, a peak existence, have any mood to think about romantic relationships? 

But it was too hard to explain what had happened today. Could it be like what her elder said? As she thought of this, she felt even more uneasy. 

Qin Yu noticed that she looked uncomfortable. He placed his chopsticks down, “Today, I brought you out purely because I have many thoughts and wanted to walk around. Don’t read too much into it.”

Number 327’s anxiety reduced slightly, but she still shook her head. 

She could not admit that she had already viewed Qin Yu as a pervert. 

Qin Yu spoke, “Number 327, you will be following me for a while. Do you mind if I give you a name? I feel weird calling you this.”

Number 327 hesitated, “Okay.”

“I will call you Little Seven then.” Qin Yu smiled, “I am from the West Desolate and don’t know much about the inner workings of the Central Desolate. For example, that clan. Little Seven, can you tell me more about your clan? Of course, you can just give me the basic details. You can omit anything confidential.”

Number 327 looked at Qin Yu. 

He looked calm as he knocked on the table, “I am currently your clan’s Exalted One. It should be okay for me to understand you all better right? Little Seven, even if your clan leader was here, I would still ask the same question.”

“Sect Master Qin, you are right.” Number 327 thought about it, “But I don’t know what you wish to know…”

Qin Yu replied, “Simple. Little Seven, you can start from your own life story. Just tell me anything.”

He smiled, “I am curious what your parents are like to be able to give birth to a beautiful lady like yourself.”

Number 327’s eyes grew bleak and she was silent for a while before she spoke slowly, “My parents died early and did not manage to live till the day that our clan gained immortality.”

Qin Yu replied, “Sorry for bringing up something unhappy.”

Number 327 shook her head, “Sect Master Qin, you know my clan’s situation. Even if my parents were around, they might not remember me.” She had a lost look, “I have very vague memories of my past and only can remember some parts.”

The people from that clan did not have names or surnames. They were not in the world’s reincarnation cycle. They did not die or vanish. 

But once they were severely injured, they would revive, keeping their physical body and blood, but not their memories. 

This was equivalent to having a new conscience born within the physical body. 

They seemed to be alive but they have actually died!

Without a doubt, Number 327 had gone through this before. 

Qin Yu said, “Other than your parents, do you have any other family members?”

Number 327 shook her head, “I am an only child.” She subconsciously frowned. 

Qin Yu then changed the topic, asking her things about that clan. 

At the same time, he indirectly tried to ask things about her. At least, he asked according to what he sort of knew in order to help with his investigation later on. 

Most of the food and wine was finished by Qin Yu. 

“Are you done? Let’s go look around some more. There are many more fun places in East Sword City.”

He was about to pay when he heard a commotion from above. 

Bam –

A window smashed open and a young swordsman fell to the ground, vomiting blood. 

“Qiong Qing!”

Shrieking, a female cultivator flew in and landed beside the man. 

“What happened?”

The young man named Qiong Qing forced out a smile, “Jiang Rong, why are you here? I am fine…”

As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited more blood. 

“Stop talking. Eat this medicine and hurry up and heal!”

A group of young men were standing in front of the broken window. One of them sneered, “Wait! Jiang Rong, the pill you are holding is what the East Sword Sect gives to our disciples to heal. How can you give it to outsiders?”

Qiong Qing wiped the corner of his mouth and shook his head, “I am fine. Really. Jiang Rong, keep your medicine.”

Jiang Rong gritted her teeth, “It is okay. I will deal with it since I’m asking you to eat.”

“Hmph! Jiang Rong, do you still think your dad is an elder? Let me tell you, the skies of Swallow Mountain have changed!

“You can give the medicine to him, but if Qiong Qing dares to eat it, I will beat him up until he vomits it out. If you don’t believe me, we can try!”

The group of young men by the window laughed out loud. 

Qin Yu frowned slightly. 

Across from him, Number 327 asked, “Sect Master Qin, do you know this girl?”

Qin Yu nodded, “We met once but are not close.”

When he first came to Swallow Mountain, he had once helped a haggard old swordsman fulfil his wish of entering Sky Falling Mountain. 

Jiang Rong was the female cultivator responsible for collecting immortal money outside the mountain. Though they only met once, she had a good personality. 

Moreover…

Why did it sound like this incident today was related to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect? If not, why would they mention that Swallow Mountain’s skies had changed. 

Because he was now the sky of Swallow Mountain!

At this moment, a lazy and alluring voice appeared in his head, “Little Qin, you are quite lucky. There is a good thing in East Sword City. As long as you get it for me, I will accompany you for a day, how about that?”

It was the Great White Goose!

“Tsk tsk, Little Qin you are getting bold. Rourou is gone and you dare to call me by my nickname. Or are you getting impatient; you are so naughty! As long as you help me get the thing that is hidden in East Sword City, I will let you know how my name ‘Great White Goose’ came about.”

Qin Yu did not react. However, with a thought, the Blue Sun and Purple Moon started spinning faster in his soul space, opening the Sunmoon Force Field.

“Cough, Sister Feifei ah. Before Rourou left, she told me that you will be taking care of me while she is not around. She said that she had some things to do back home. When she comes back, she will thank you.”

White Feifei sneered, “Brat, don’t try to scare me. Rourou does not even know that I am awake! Hehe, a no longer perfect Longevity Species will have a huge reduction in power. Although I am still sealed, my vitality is still perfect.

“So you had better work with me properly. If I am not satisfied, you are going to suffer!”

Qin Yu’s heart fell. Alas, this beautiful and sweet voice belonged to a strange monster that had lived for an unknown number of years. 

They were not easy to scare!

What could he do?

With White Feifei’s threat, Qin Yu would not be in a good position. He might even be controlled by her and become a puppet that had to obey her. 

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu gritted his teeth, “White Feifei, you dare to touch me?”

“Little brat, you are asking for it!”

The blood pressure in Qin Yu’s left hand surged like a long worm was about to burst out of his skin. 

Number 327 immediately sensed this as she frowned, “Sect Master Qin?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “It is nothing!” He lowered his head and looked at his left hand. His eyes were icy, “White Feifei, if you really had a way to control me, you would not have chosen to discuss with me. The first thing you would have done is to directly swallow me.

“So don’t bluff. Otherwise, I promise to tell Rourou everything that happened today. When she comes back, you will suffer.”

His left hand still looked ‘fierce’. It was trembling and gathering momentum like a wild beast, ready to attack at any moment. 

Qin Yu could clearly sense that White Feifei was suppressing her rage. 

“Hmph! Stinky brat, you are brave!” White Feifei snorted. She changed her tone, “Then now, let’s make a deal.

“If you help me get the thing hidden in East Sword City, I promise to sleep and not create trouble for you.”Qin Yu looked uncertain. He gritted his teeth, “Swear.”

White Feifei growled angrily, “Qin Yu, don’t go overboard…fine, I swear. If I go against my words, my Great Dao will be destroyed!”

Qin Yu replied, “Okay.”

Woosh –

The strange phenomenon that happened to his hand instantly disappeared. 

“Little Qin, I will be waiting for good news!” Giving him a flying kiss, her voice faded away. 

Ha, women!

Qin Yu rubbed his hands as he looked up and saw Number 327, “A small problem, but it is fine now.”

Number 327 hesitated before nodding wordlessly.

During the disruption from White Feifei, the commotion on the street had changed. 

The young man from the window stood in front of Jiang Rong. He sneered, “I said before that Qiong Qing is not going anywhere. Since we were invited to drink, how can you stop us from drinking till we get drunk?”

“That’s right, that makes sense!”

“Qiong Qing, you are the one who offended Brother Jiang De with your words. Hurry and kneel to apologize!”

“What kind of man are you to hide behind a woman? Are you sure that Jiang Rong can protect you? Don’t create trouble for her.”

Qiong Qing struggled to stand, “Jiang Rong, go. I am fine.”

He gritted his teeth, “Jiang De, I was in the wrong and offended you with my words. I have already paid the price. Let her go!”

Jiang De replied, “Jiang Rong, you gave our sect’s medicinal pill to an outsider and broke the sect’s rule…even if you are my cousin, I cannot just let this go. Even if you want to leave now, it is too late.”

He took a step back, “Men, take Jiang Rong down. Bring her back to the sect to be punished!”

Woosh – 

Woosh –

There was the sound of something flying through the air as several black-robed swordsmen appeared on the street.

The one leading them was expressionless and his eyes were icy, “Jiang Rong, do not resist and follow us back.”

Qiong Qing’s expression changed as he rushed to lift his hand, “The pill is here, I will return it immediately.”

The black-robed swordsman frowned. 

Jiang De sneered, “What are you waiting for?”

The leader waved his hand, “Take him down!”

“Little Qin, this woman has a lead. Hurry and get her!” White Feifei’s excited voice could be heard. 

Qin Yu stared. 

He stood up and said to Number 327, “Little Seven, wait here.”

Woosh –

Qin Yu appeared in front of Jiang Rong, shielding her. 

The black swordsman who was rushing over looked at him icily, “Do not interfere with our East Sword Sect!”

Qin Yu waved his sleeve. ‘Bom bom bom’, the people that rushed over were thrown off. 

They fell to the ground!

Wah –

Everyone on the street let out a breath. 

There was actually someone who dared to go against the cultivators from the East Sword Sect in East Sword City. Though the ancestor of the East Sword Sect was no longer as powerful as in the past. 

But as one of the ten major sects on Swallow Mountain, they were not to be underestimated. After all, a skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. 

Moreover, everyone knew that the East Sword Sect was a surbordinate to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect. 

Even though back then, their relationship had been severed when the Opening Heavens Sword Sect was destroyed, recently the East Sword Sect had managed to patch things up using some unknown method. 

There was no need to emphasize the status of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect on Swallow Mountain. 

Looking at Qin Yu, everyone immediately thought the same thing – this person was going to be in huge trouble!

Jiang De took a step back and growled, “Who are you? Why are you interfering with the internal affairs of the East Sword Sect?” As he spoke, he threw a glance at his companions. Seeing that they had already sent a message, he was determined. 

Qin Yu ignored him and turned to put his hands together, “Miss Jiang Rong, do you remember me?”

Jiang Rong looked confused as she tried to recall, “It is you!” She bit her lip, “Fellow companion, I understand your good intentions, but you should hurry and leave!”

“Hmph! Who dares to leave after hurting my people from the East Sword Sect?”

Woosh –

There was a sound and a middle-aged swordsman appeared above everyone. An immense sword aura surrounded him!
