Chapter 23: Is It Really Necessary to Be So Eager During the Day?
Liu Mei smiled slightly, “Five junior brothers, this flying artifact you will use to go down the mountain is also a reward from the sect. Please treasure it.”
Lin Fengmian and the others were surprised to receive the flying artifact so soon, their eyes filled with joy.
Especially Lin Fengmian and Xie Gui, wouldn’t it be even easier for them to escape with this?
“Now, I’ll teach you how to use it. The first step is to take a blood oath.”
Liu Mei’s hand once again held a Qingfeng Leaf, and she bit her finger, letting blood drip onto it. Even such an action looked incredibly seductive on her.
Lin Fengmian, who was holding the Qingfeng Leaf as thin as a cicada’s wing, followed suit, biting his finger and dripping blood onto it.
He felt a faint connection with the Qingfeng Leaf, and as he channeled his spiritual energy, the leaf emitted a bright light and quickly expanded in his hand.
At that moment, Lin Fengmian suddenly understood why he had activated jade pendant.
Was it because he had accidentally performed a blood oath?
Seeing that everyone had completed the blood oath, Liu Mei smiled, “Using it is simple. Channel your spiritual energy into it, and then control it with your mind.”
She demonstrated by making the Qingfeng Leaf turn into a stream of light that flew around her and then landed under her feet, lifting her into the air.
Lin Fengmian and the others followed suit, and when the leaf landed under their feet, they excitedly jumped on it, causing various mishaps.
Some of them stepped too hard, causing the leaf to instantly return to its original size.
Others controlled the Qingfeng Leaf to soar into the sky, only to have the leaf fly away, leaving them disheveled on the ground.
Lin Fengmian fared better; he was carried into the sky by the leaf, but he couldn’t control it and screamed as he flew away.
Liu Mei and the others were surprised to see Lin Fengmian flying away screaming, apparently not expecting him to control the Qingfeng Leaf on the first try.
At that moment, Chen Qingyan suddenly turned into a ray of light and chased after Lin Fengmian, leaving everyone confused.
It seemed that Lin Fengmian’s situation was dire; he was about to lose control and crash into the distant back mountain.
“Senior Brother!” Xia Yunxi shouted in alarm.
Luckily, Chen Qingyan caught up and grabbed Lin Fengmian just as he was about to crash into the mountain, preventing a tragic accident.
Lin Fengmian clung to Chen Qingyan, not caring if she would strike him.
Although he was in the embrace of a soft beauty, he had no leisure to enjoy it; he was completely out of sorts.
“Junior Brother Lin, calm down, I can’t breathe!” Chen Qingyan frowned.
Lin Fengmian opened his eyes for a moment, then quickly closed them and hugged Chen Qingyan even tighter.
He had to admit, “I can’t, Senior Sister, I’m afraid of heights!”
Chen Qingyan was stunned at first, then said strangely, “You’re afraid of heights too?”
So she had to fly back with Lin Fengmian in this bizarre posture, leaving everyone confused.
Liu Mei said with a strange expression, “Is it really necessary to be so eager during the day?”
Chen Qingyan’s expression was somewhat unnatural as she softly said, “Junior Brother Lin, we’re back, you can get off now!”
Lin Fengmian cautiously opened his eyes, realized that they had indeed landed, and got off her.
With an extremely embarrassed expression, he said, “I’m ashamed to have made Senior Sister laugh.”
He wished he could dig a hole and hide in it; it was too embarrassing!
Chen Qingyan smiled helplessly, said nothing, and walked straight back.
When Liu Mei found out that Lin Fengmian was afraid of heights, she laughed so hard that her body shook, making him blush.
But more than his pride, Lin Fengmian was more worried about being left behind.
Liu Mei continued to patiently teach, and everyone learned how to control their spiritual energy and fly in the air.
With Lin Fengmian’s previous experience, the others learned their lesson and didn’t fly too high, only a few meters above the ground so that they wouldn’t get hurt if they fell.
Soon, except for Lin Fengmian, the others had learned to fly, albeit clumsily.
However, Lin Fengmian was afraid and only dared to fly less than a zhang above the ground, not daring to go higher.
Xia Yunxi also didn’t expect this situation and continued to teach Lin Fengmian various flying techniques.
But after several more attempts, he still couldn’t overcome his fear, and his mind went blank at a few meters and he fell straight down.
Liu Mei said with a knowing smile, “Or should we replace him with someone else?”
Lin Fengmian’s face turned pale, but he still insisted, “Please give me a chance, Senior Sister, I can overcome my fear!”
“I’ve already given you a chance, but we can’t stay here forever, can we?” Liu Mei replied.
Lin Fengmian’s heart sank; he never expected to lose the chance to leave for such a ridiculous reason.
“Senior Sister, can we wait a little longer?” Xia Yunxi also nervously pleaded for Lin Fengmian.
Liu Mei looked at the sky and smiled, “Junior Sister Xia, it’s getting late, we should leave soon!”
“I can carry him for a while on the way,” Xia Yunxi said softly but firmly.
However, Liu Mei said, “Junior Sister Xia, you’ve just reached Foundation Establishment, you can’t carry him far, and we’re going out to recruit disciples, how would it look if you carried him?”
The others burst out laughing upon hearing this, and Xia Yunxi’s face also turned pale, unable to respond.
Lin Fengmian was bitter, feeling that the world was dark and hating his own incompetence.
“Let’s go like this, I’ll carry him on the way, and I’ll make sure he learns before we reach our destination.”
Chen Qingyan’s melodious voice, which was already enchanting, sounded like heavenly music to Lin Fengmian’s ears as she once again stood up for him in his helplessness.
Liu Mei looked at Chen Qingyan with a strange expression and smiled knowingly, “Senior Sister Chen, what if he doesn’t learn?”
Chen Qingyan said indifferently, “I will take the responsibility.”
Liu Mei seemed to think of something and suddenly laughed.
“Since Senior Sister Qingyan is so protective of her little lover, how can I be the bad guy?”
Xia Yunxi and Lin Fengmian both breathed a sigh of relief, their backs soaked in cold sweat.
Feeling relieved, Lin Fengmian said to Chen Qingyan, “Thank you, Senior Sister Chen!”
Chen Qingyan didn’t answer, just humming in appreciation.
Liu Mei looked around and said coldly, “Let’s go!”
“Yes, Senior Sister!” the others replied in unison.
Wang Yanran and Mo Ruoyu also went over and summoned their own artifacts.
Xia Yunxi wanted to take Lin Fengmian with her, but Chen Qingyan refused.
“Junior Sister Xia, if he loses control, you might fall as well. I’ll take him.”
Xia Yunxi also felt unsure and could only nod in agreement.
Chen Qingyan waved her hand and a blue long sword landed at her feet. She said to Lin Fengmian, “Junior Brother Lin, come here.”
Lin Fengmian’s expression was complex as he stood behind her on the sword, unsure of what to do.
“Hold my waist or you’ll fall,” Chen Qingyan said quietly.
Lin Fengmian could only comply, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and feeling a myriad of emotions.
He never expected his first time holding Chen Qingyan’s waist to be under such circumstances, nor did he expect to leave the Joyful Union Sect like this.
