Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: The Legendary Genius Junior Ancestor VS White Lotus Outer Sect Junior Sister (Part 16)

“What happened just now?” Elder Xing Shi asked with a grave expression as he looked at Bai Xinya. Feeling the intense gaze of a Sword Sovereign upon her made her shiver involuntarily.

She spoke timidly, “Disciple… Disciple merely admires the demeanor of the two Venerable Uncles and wished to pay respects, that’s all.”

Elder Xing Shi turned to the other two disciples, “You tell me. Recount everything exactly as it happened, without missing a single word.”

The two disciples dared not conceal anything.

Elder Xing Shi waved them away, then fixed his gaze on Bai Xinya. Having managed the outer sect for so many years, he had seen all kinds of people. The unworldly Venerable Uncles might not see through her, but she could not fool him.

“I’ve lived for so many years, and I’ve seen plenty with ambition, but one as bold as you, this is indeed my first time encountering.”

His face was stern, “A Sword Cultivator’s foremost duty is to cultivate their mind. You’re not striving for improvement, but instead your mind is filled with these wicked and Evil Path thoughts. With such a mindset, how can you make any progress in the Sword Dao!”

“You should be thankful that the Venerable Uncles have decided not to pursue this matter, or else no one could save you. You will stay on Peak of Reflection and reflect until your thoughts are proper again. You may come down only when you’ve corrected your mindset.”

Bai Xinya suddenly felt dejected. As the name suggests, Peak of Reflection was where disciples of the Astrolabe Sword Sect who had erred were sent to reflect upon their mistakes.

It was constantly bitterly cold and desolate there. How could one endure such days?

However, the decision made by Elder Xing Shi could not be changed by anyone in the outer sect.

At that time, Gu Shengyin had already returned to Lingyun Peak with Xuan Ke.

Ever since she was injured, she had been living on Lingyun Peak, where Xuan Ke resided. Now that her injuries had significantly healed, neither of them had mentioned the idea of Gu Shengyin returning to Lingxiao Peak.

Besides, Venerable Ling Xiao was in closed-door cultivation, so it was good not to disturb him.

“Junior Sister, why do you keep looking at me?” Xuan Ke was somewhat puzzled.

Ever since they left the Sword Debate Hall, his Junior Sister had been looking at him with a strange gaze.

Gu Shengyin suddenly had a mischievous thought, “I’m admiring how my Senior Brother’s face is like fine jade, his bearing like the noble orchid, and his movements as graceful as an immortal. No wonder that female disciple took a liking to you just now.”

Never having been teased before, Xuan Ke blushed at her words, “Junior Sister, don’t speak nonsense.”

The system was also curiously observing Gu Shengyin. It seemed as if with the completion of each task, the host’s personality became more lively?

Gu Shengyin suddenly revealed a smile.

When Xuan Ke looked up, he saw this smile. He had always known his Junior Sister was beautiful, but it never occurred to him that her smile could be this captivating.

It was like a burst of radiance had suddenly cut through the darkness, stunning and dazzling.

He inexplicably felt his heartbeat speed up at the sight of this smile.

“Senior Brother has such good looks; it’s normal for a lady to admire you. You shouldn’t be shy, Senior Brother.”

Xuan Ke did not respond to Gu Shengyin’s teasing.

Gazing at his Junior Sister’s open, joyous smile, he suddenly asked an utterly inexplicable question, “Then, does Junior Sister, being even more beautiful than Senior Brother, also draw many admirers?”

Gu Shengyin was momentarily at a loss for words. Gu Weixin indeed possessed breathtaking beauty but was considered too unapproachable. Surely, there must be many who admired her, yet to date, none had dared to voice it.

Xuan Ke, however, took her silence as affirmation.

Feeling displeased at the thought, he blurted out, “Sword Dao is paramount. Junior Sister is still young, and you mustn’t let such matters distract you.”
