3061 Entering the city
Feng Jiu’s words left Qin Xin stunned. Despite finding it odd, she agreed, moved to the side, and sat down to practise with the guqin in her arms.
These several disciples were core disciples of the Immortal Sect, and they were all children from the first wife of influential families. However, they didn’t dare show off in front of Feng Jiu and could only work diligently.
Feng Jiu was in charge of roasting the meat, while the others helped. The smell of the meat spread after a short while, making the sect’s disciples salivate.
“I could smell it from a good distance away.” Wanyan Shisan approached, laughing heartily. “I caught some fish downstream and cleaned them. Let’s grill them all together!”
!!
“Use the branch to skewer the fish.” Feng Jiu handed him the branch while adding wine and spices to the grilled meat. She then cut off a piece to try it and told them, “The meat is now ready. Get a slice yourself.” With this, she called Qin Xin over to eat.
Several of them started eating as soon as she finished speaking. They had roasted meat when they were outside, but it wasn’t as tasty as hers. At this point, the exhaustion of the day and the thrill of being ambushed had all melted away.
After the meal, Feng Jiu returned to the airship to cultivate cross-legged, while others were chatting with Wanyan Shisan and warming themselves by the fire. “Senior Wanyan, so she is the Master of Venerable Si Que and Venerable Mu Xin!”
Wanyan Shisan gave them a sidelong glance. “You only just found out about this?”
“We had no idea until you called her name. Who would believe she is a woman if you didn’t say it? She is also the master of two Strong Exponents with the cultivation level of Celestial Peak.”
Qin Xin was taken aback when she heard their conversation. “Master is a woman?” She asked Wanyan Shisan hesitantly. She had always assumed she was a man.
“She’s a woman.” Wanyan Shisan replied after taking a bite of the meat. “She’s also a very beautiful one.”
Qin Xin was slightly surprised, but she eventually nodded. So, she was actually a woman. Her face didn’t show it, but she felt a sense of loss in her heart. Since she always assumed her master was a man, she never considered the possibility that she was a woman.
A woman was bound to have ideas after a man came to her aid and treated her with such favour. Even though she did not dare to think about her master, the elegant young master in azure was already etched in her heart.
Wanyan Shisan couldn’t help but chuckle when he saw her in a daze. “Deep down inside, you like her, do you? Does the fact that she is a woman surprise you?”
“No, I don’t. ” Qin Xin said hurriedly.
“Heh, a guilty person gives herself away by consciously protesting her innocence.”
His eyes swept over her and he said, “The truth is, that’s normal. Like butterflies and flowers, your master draws bees and butterflies to her. It’s understandable to have a crush on her. After all, when the hero saves a damsel in distress, the beauty’s heart is always won.”
Some of the people sitting next to him smirked. They talked around the fire until it got dark, then returned to the airship for the night. The group resumed their journey towards Cardinal Point City when morning arrived…
When Feng Jiu noticed she was about to arrive in Cardinal Point City, she slowed the speed of the airship and headed in the direction of the Immortal Sect. She smiled as she talked to the disciples. “I’ll take you to the Immortal Sect’s gate. Remember to return whatever you owe me to Si Que or Mu Xin, and they will give it to me.”
