Chapter 168 Follower
Liu Xing discovered that he now had a follower, and this follower was a beautiful woman. This was truly a happy trouble. Su Yingying decided to follow Liu Xing because, apart from attending classes, Liu Xing basically spent his time in the Sutra Library. Su Yingying followed Liu Xing and kept up the same pace, sitting silently across from him and reading diligently. She would ask Liu Xing some questions whenever she had time, and he would always answer them patiently. With a beautiful woman by his side, Liu Xing would not feel bored. But he didn't care, as he was completely focused on the way of prohibition.
"Senior Brother Liu, why don't you pay any attention to me? Is your book more interesting than mine?" Su Yingying was now familiar with Liu Xing. She knew that he was easy-going and would not get angry easily, so she joked with him during the break.
"Hahaha, Junior Sister Su is really good at joking. Although there is a beautiful girl like Yan Ruyu in the book, she can't compare to Junior Sister's beauty." Liu Xing laughed loudly, feeling that he might have neglected beautiful women, which made her unhappy.
"That senior brother stares at the book every day and never looks at me much?" Su Yingying kept harping on this point, implying that Liu Xing disliked her.
"Junior sister, you have wronged me. I often steal glances at you when my eyes are dry from reading. You know what, beautiful women are pleasing to the eyes. My eyes are no longer dry after a few glances and I can continue reading. Having you by my side has greatly improved my study efficiency." Liu Xing was caught in a trap and he was quick-witted and acted unreasonably in an attempt to get away with it.
"Hehehe." Su Yingying laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She also noticed Liu Xing's embarrassment, so she let him go.
"Brother Liu, can you please stop calling me Junior Sister and call me Yingying?" Su Yingying said shyly. She had a secret crush on Liu Xing and wanted to be closer to him.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Then I will call you Yingying from now on." Liu Xing was secretly frightened. It doesn't matter what you call her, but this little girl won't have feelings for him anymore. Oh, this damn charm, he looks like he deserves a beating.
Su Yingying only had three spiritual roots. Her spiritual aptitude was better than his, but she wasn't a prodigy. Without a significant opportunity, her cultivation would be difficult to advance, and her chances of breaking through to the Jindan stage would be slim. While his spiritual aptitude was extremely poor, his chances of breaking through to the Jindan stage were still very high. He had strong confidence, so he didn't dare to fall in love easily. His relationship with Dongfang Qing had already been deeply painful, and he didn't want this separation to hurt them again. He hadn't accepted Nie Xiaoqian in Haibin City, and he treated Su Yingying here as a younger sister.
"Brother Liu, you've been reading every day for years. Don't you feel bored?" Su Yingying was very happy that Liu Xing listened to her and was willing to be close to her. However, if she knew Liu Xing's true thoughts, she would probably be depressed.
"The road to immortality is a matter of urgency. I have a strong sense of urgency in my heart and dare not waste time easily." Liu Xing said frankly.
"Yingying, we have average qualifications and no strong background. It is a great opportunity for us to be able to enter Qianji Sect. We must work hard and practice hard to strive for further progress!" Liu Xing saw that Su Yingying was tempted by worldly desires, so he took the opportunity to persuade her.
"Brother Liu is so determined in seeking the Tao that Yingying is even more determined than him. Thank you for your guidance. I will follow your example and practice hard in the future." Su Yingying was very talented and was secretly shocked. She wondered what had happened to her recently that caused her Tao heart to be unstable. Fortunately, Brother Liu reminded her in time.
Liu Xing and Su Yingying talked and laughed, reading, chatting, and attending classes together. Good times always pass quickly. That day, Liu Xing received a message from Yue Qianjun, saying that he had broken through to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment and was now consolidating his cultivation. Liu Xing was very happy for him and made an appointment to celebrate together when he came out of seclusion. It was the end of the month and class time again, and this time a familiar face, Huang Shan, came to the class.
"Senior Brother Huang, how come you have time to come here? Wow, you have broken through to the late stage of foundation building! Congratulations!" Liu Xing was very surprised to see Huang Shan, and soon discovered that Huang Shan had actually broken through to the late stage of foundation building. Although he knew that Huang Shan was on the verge of a breakthrough when he first met him, he did not expect that he would really break through in just a few years. Senior Brother Huang's qualifications are extraordinary.
"Junior Brother Liu, my breakthrough is nothing. Junior Brother, you are a famous person. As soon as I came out of seclusion, my ears were full of your name. Not bad, you are doing well!" Huang Shan patted Liu Xing's shoulder and was very happy for him.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Brother. I just have some talent in the art of prohibition." Liu Xing replied modestly.
"Junior Brother Liu, there's no need to be so modest... Wow, Junior Brother Liu, you have also broken through to the late stage of foundation building?" Suddenly, Huang Shan inadvertently checked Liu Xing's cultivation level, and shouted as if he had seen a ghost, with an incredible look on his face.
"Junior Brother Liu had a breakthrough a year ago. What's the big deal?" Senior Brother Qian was standing nearby. Seeing Huang Shan shouting, he said dissatisfiedly.
"A year ago?" Huang Shan looked at Liu Xing repeatedly. Liu Xing only had mixed spiritual roots, so how could he have achieved such a breakthrough so quickly? He was stunned and couldn't believe it. He had only achieved a breakthrough after years of seclusion and countless hardships with the help of the elixir given by his master. How could Liu Xing achieve such a breakthrough so easily?
"Oh, Senior Brother Huang, I just got a piece of Oolong Grass by chance. I was pushed forward by the spiritual medicine and luckily broke through. I can't compare with your strength." Liu Xing explained when he saw Huang Shan looked as if he had seen a ghost. Anyway, everyone knew that he offered a reward for the Oolong Grass, so there was no need to conceal it.
"Junior brother Liu is truly impressive. I was obsessed with appearances. In cultivation, everyone has his own opportunity. It's not surprising that junior brother can get his own opportunity." Huang Shan finally came to his senses and stopped worrying about it. At the same time, he was happy for Liu Xing.
"Brother Huang, it's time for class. I'll go to class first and we'll talk in detail after class." The class time was about to arrive. After exchanging a few words with Huang Shan, he hurried to the podium.
Huang Shan also composed himself and took a seat. Although an inner disciple, Huang Shan normally had better learning resources than outer disciples, he had come to attend Liu Xing's class today specifically to witness the prowess of the foremost master of forbidden techniques. The class didn't disappoint him; he was mesmerized and benefited immensely. Liu Xing's forbidden technique was indeed several levels higher than his own, and he was filled with admiration, believing that no one of his inner disciples could match him. So, during the Q&A session, Huang Shan asked a few questions. Liu Xing patiently answered them and sent him a message, suggesting that they would take some time later to celebrate his advancement. Huang Shan readily agreed, saying they would celebrate together and wait for Liu Xing's notification of a time.
