Chapter 164: Storm Rising

Ju Yunxiu glared at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi looked at her inexplicably. "Why are you staring at me?"

"The crane has a foul mouth, so stop with your wishful thoughts."

"... If you don't tell me, I won't think about it. Now that you told me, I start to have wrong thoughts."

Ju Yunxiu said angrily, "I knew you are thinking wrong! What are you thinking about?"

Qin Yi asked with a question mark face, "Are you fishing me?"

Ju Yunxiu glared at Qin Yi, and Qin Yi glared back. They stared at each other for a while, then Ju Yunxiu waved her sleeves and said, "I'm going to bed. Come back tomorrow."

"Hey wait!" Qin Yi called to her. "What is the Grain Rain Tao Conference? Is it an internal competition?"

"It's an exchange between sects. As a comprehensive sect with all the taos, it's the right thing to compete to see whose tao is stronger. It's not just a competition. There are also different match modes. Anyway, you can think of it as a competition." Ju Yunxiu said nonchalantly, "Actually, this competition has failed several times..."

"Huh?" Qin Yi, who was thinking about competing in the ring to win prizes, was confused. "How can this fail?"

"Because most people in Myriad Tao Immortal Palace have no interest in participating in this kind of ridiculous competition. We might as well go to sleep, drink or doing things we are interested in. Everyone is not interested in the competition at all. ”

"Pff..."

"Later, the Palace Master came up with several kinds of treasures as rewards, so some people were forced to participate. Even so, it still failed to be held several times. For example, my sect never participated, which missed out a large system. The Palace Master couldn't force me, because my sect had no one. Wouldn't they be embarrassed to bully Qing Cha?"

Qin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was used to watching other sects' martial arts competitions in full swing. He never thought that this Myriad Tao Immortal Palace would be like this.

"So don't participate. It's boring." Ju Yunxiu yawned. "You have offended others, and you will be tricked if you participate in this. You’re an elegant cultivator. There is no need to get involved in this."

After that, she went back to sleep.

Qin Yi felt interested as he watched her leave.

"Ugh..." Seeing the two of them sitting next to each other and holding hands, the immortal crane's eyes widened. "Did I come at the wrong time again..."

Ju Yunxiu stood up naturally and dusted off her skirt. "What are you doing here again?"

"I'm here to inform you about the prizes for this year's conference." The immortal crane said, "Palace Master said there are a heavenly hammer, a mountain dice, a black tortoise shell, and a painting. The winner can choose one of them."

This time, Ju Yunxiu was interested. "What painting?"

"It is said that your master once painted it. The painting contains great power and has become a noble weapon..."

Hearing that it was a relic of her master, Ju Yunxiu lost interest immediately. She frowned and waved. "Okay, got it."

Immortal Crane didn't seem to expect Ju Yunxiu to react like this, so it looked at Qin Yi with a little expectancy.

Qin Yi spread his hands and expressed little interest.

The immortal crane sighed helplessly. "Palace Master said that if you don't participate, you have to let the newbies participate. Otherwise, other sects will eventually complain, which will affect the relationship between sects."

Ju Yunxiu said lightly, "It's really strange. I hadn't had a single disciple in the past years, and I didn't complain anything. Why do they raise so much trouble after just one session without recruiting anyone?"

The immortal crane smiled and said, "If everyone behaves the same, there won't be disputes in this world? The word has been transmitted, I will leave first."

Watching the immortal crane go away, Qin Yi's uninterested look disappeared. He touched his chin and asked Ju Yunxiu, "Is the painting reward provided by the Palace Master one of the painting set?"

Ju Yunxiu sighed. "Yes. In his later years, he only painted four paintings except for the Cloud Nine Sword Pavilion woman portrait you brought from the ancient tomb. One was given to the Palace Master, one was lost to a bet against the Zheng Family of the planning way, one was given to a mortal friend in Qian Kingdom, and one was buried with himself. The one given to the mortal friend should be nothing special. The other paintings may have coherent secrets, so he deliberately separated them.”

Qin Yi was silent for a moment and sighed, "Then this conference... I want to participate."

Ju Yunxiu frowned and said, "I said that this secret is not something you should explore, and you are not someone who is greedy for any treasure."

"I know." Qin Yi unconsciously sensed the mace in the ring, and Liu Su was still in a slumber.

He looked at it silently for a while, then he said in a low voice, "I have a very important friend... Even though he is stubborn and won't tell me anything, I know that he needs this secret very much."
