The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

Chapter 1265 - 377: Hmph, You Heartless and Unfaithful Woman! (Part 3)

How could I be so foolish? They’re all from the same sect!...

A month later, with their combined efforts, part of the Array Disc for the "Nine Revolutions Spirit Condensing Array" was finally completed.

Shen Hanyi exhaled deeply, a glint of satisfaction flashing in her icy eyes.

As a fourth-level Array Master, being involved in creating such a rare Array made her feel an uncommon sense of accomplishment.

Zhou Qing was equally delighted.

If he were on his own, it would undoubtedly take half a year to complete, not to mention the risk of failure.

He subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyi, just as she raised her eyes to look at him.

In the instant their gazes met, they both turned their faces away.

Though they had interacted before, never had they been this... intimate.

But after that incident, there was a lingering sense of unspoken... awkwardness between them.

"That elder is not only knowledgeable but has reached the pinnacle of Array mastery," Shen Hanyi broke the silence first, her voice still cool.

"He once bestowed upon me the long-lost Four-Color Array ’Taiyin Soul Refining Array,’ helping me capture a Transforming Divine Medicine. Now, this Restriction that can increase the probability of Spirit Slash and resolve obsessions is extraordinary."

Zhou Qing smiled slightly: "Indeed, that elder loves worldly pleasures, and is the most remarkable figure I’ve ever seen."

The two stared at the fragments of the Array Disc suspended in mid-air, momentarily silent.

"If there’s anything about the Shen Family that I can help with..." Zhou Qing hesitated to speak.

"No need." Shen Hanyi shook her head decisively, "I’ll handle my own matters. Helping you this time is to repay past kindness, couldn’t possibly trouble you further."

"Actually, I don’t mind..."

"I said it’s not necessary!"

Zhou Qing stared at her, suddenly realizing something: "So... after you safeguard me, we’ll be even?"

"Yes." That brief word left Zhou Qing feeling empty inside.

Turns out... he was thinking too much.

Humph!

This heartless woman! Take advantage and run?

Just then, Shen Hanyi stood up, her sleeve lightly fluttering: "I have other matters. Once that person gathers the remaining materials, have Shen Yunzhou notify me."

Zhou Qing stood up and hesitated to speak, finally merely saying, "Alright."

Shen Hanyi’s gaze shifted slightly as she deeply looked at Zhou Qing, her slender hand lightly lifting to tear open space, vanishing instantly.

Staring at the gradually healing space rift, Zhou Qing sighed deeply.

[Today’s post is refreshing...]

[New post exists in Strange Records, please check promptly.]

At this moment, a long-lost notification sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

Zhou Qing’s dim eyes abruptly brightened.

Looking at the space before him, he suddenly smiled: "You always say I’m your Destined Person, little do you know, just like Lu, you are my lucky star."

Then, he hurriedly looked at the system panel.

But he didn’t notice that from the previously vanished space rift, a peculiar wave unexpectedly emerged.

...

At this moment, Zhou Qing quickly checked Strange Records.

Upon opening, a post, flowing with chaotic gray light throughout, came into view.

On the surface, two intertwined Yin and Yang fish patterns slowly swam, sometimes merging and sometimes separating, exuding a mysterious aura.

[50-50 Sticker: Can be integrated into oneself or gifted to others. Once in effect, any duel will become a 50-50 affair, making victory or defeat indistinguishable, effective for one day!]

Facing this newly appeared strange post, a glint flashed in Zhou Qing’s eyes.

"50-50? This post really is..."

Reading the introduction on the post, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

"This [Random Sticker] sure is random, even such extraordinary posts can be swiped out!"

Zhou Qing marveled.

He must keep this post well, being able to make any match even, he could stand undefeated even against those old monsters.

If you’re unbeatable, don’t expect to easily take me down.

"Zhou!"

"Zhou!"

Two calls interrupted his thoughts.

Looking up, he saw Shen Yunzhou and Lu Yaoyao poking their heads one above the other through the window.

Shen Yunzhou swiftly entered through the window, looking around: "Huh? The ice melted? My sister really left?"

He scratched his head, looking incredulous, "I even prepared the Imaging Stone, yet she didn’t hold me accountable?"

Lu Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled: "You two collaborated for a month, you must’ve gained a lot, right?"

Zhou Qing glanced at Shen Yunzhou—seems this guy is tight-lipped, he didn’t mention a word about that matter.

Indeed, it concerns his sister’s reputation; if it spreads, Shen Hanyi would tear him apart.

"Yeah." Zhou Qing changed the subject, "What’s with your dark circles?"

Lu Yaoyao happily shook her head: "Hehe, won a lot of money, will treat you to a meal someday!"

As she spoke, she winked at Shen Yunzhou.

Luo Lingling and Ghost Mastiff also came to the window: "They’ve been discussing Array techniques for quite a while, they’re probably tired, so don’t disturb them."

"Got it~" Lu Yaoyao stuck out her tongue, pushing Shen Yunzhou, who was still muttering, out.

Shen Yunzhou looked back with every step: "Zhou, did my sister mention me?"

"Rest assured, she didn’t say a word!" Zhou Qing replied with a smile.

As Shen Yunzhou walked away scratching his head: "Strange, causing such a big mess and nothing happened?"

He felt uneasy, "Could people truly change overnight?"

It’s somewhat unsettling?

Is my sister saving it for later?

Zhou Qing shook his head, sighed lightly, watching their departing figures, a feeling of melancholy washed over him.

...

In the quiet of the night, a shadowy figure again sneaked outside Zhou Qing’s door.

Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock, the door suddenly opened.

"What’s up?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrow.

Lu Yaoyao’s face blushed, nimbly slipping under his arm into the room.
