Boarding Life

Qin Qi couldn’t help but turn his head and look over, only to see a young woman standing there, dressed in a black long dress, graceful and poised.

She was adorned with gold and silver, clearly of no low status.

In front of her, a few young disciples stood deferentially, with smiling faces full of compliance, not daring to breathe heavily as they listened to her reprimand.

"It’s over..."

Ming Lan sighed, "Of all the things to worry about, this was it, didn’t expect to actually run into her here!"

Qin Qi asked, puzzled, "Who is she?"

"She’s Ming Tianhong’s daughter, the biggest heiress of the Ming Family, Ming Xueying!" Ming Lan smiled helplessly, "Though we both share the Ming family bloodline, she is the Family Head’s daughter, we must greet and pay our respects when we see her!"

Upon hearing, Qin Qi’s eyebrows raised.

Ming Tianhong’s daughter?

The reason for joining Ming Lan to visit the Land of Overflowing Spirits was, firstly, he was incredibly curious about it.

Secondly, it was because locating Ming Tianhong was something he had promised Ming Hu while outside the Secret Realm!

Despite Qin Qi not considering himself a good person.

He still needed to be true to his word and fulfill promises made to others!

"Let’s go!" Ming Lan smiled bitterly, bracing herself as she led Qin Qi forward.

Ming Xueying was scolding a group of Ming Family disciples, their faces looking grim.

These people clearly dared not show anger, faced with Ming Xueying’s oppressive aura, none could muster a response!

At this moment, Ming Lan spoke in a mosquito-like voice up front, "Ming Lan, pays respects to Miss Ming Xueying!"

Ming Xueying turned her head upon hearing the voice, "Oh? You’re that... the daughter of Uncle Thirteen’s concubine, aren’t you?"

"Without you introducing yourself, I’d almost forget your name!"

Ming Lan’s delicate body trembled.

Though reluctant to admit it.

She truly was born of a concubine.

Moreover, being a woman born brought her status in the family to a pitiful low.

Despite this, Ming Lan still forced a smile, "That’s correct!"

Ming Xueying lifted her eyebrows, her exquisite face full of disdain, "You’re leading someone by your side? Judging by cultivation level, Peak of Foundation Establishment. So, where did you find your lover, planning to go to the Land of Overflowing Spirits?"

Qin Qi sized up Ming Xueying earlier.

Admittedly, Ming Xueying was indeed quite attractive.

Her figure was slender and her looks captivating.

Her features were beautifully refined, especially the authoritative aura she carried which was unique!

However, no matter how one looked, Ming Xueying didn’t seem the approachable type at all.

Listen to that, barely meeting and already speaking so harshly.

"This type, I haven’t come across before!"

Qin Qi smirked slightly, "Wonder if she’ll still have such a foul mouth once conquered!"

Ming Lan’s face turned pale with apprehension, "Miss, didn’t the Family Head say, all Ming Family disciples can go..."

Ming Xueying chuckled, "It’s true he said that, but you really believed it? Everyone can go, but only if they’re strong enough!"

"If you ask me, as Uncle Qi’s concubine’s daughter, with your mother deceased, what’s the point of staying in the Ming family?"

"Why not seize the opportunity to quietly withdraw from the family? Spare yourself the embarrassment at the Land of Overflowing Spirits!"

Ming Lan trembled upon hearing, humiliated, even her eyes turned blood-red.

Yet she restrained her anger, biting her lip without speaking.

Seeing this, Ming Xueying grew more interested.

She said gleefully, "What’s wrong, angry? But tell me I’m wrong, you are after all just the child of a concubine. Not meant for greatness, why do you insist on tempting fate?"

"Going to the Land of Overflowing Spirits, you think a lover at Peak Foundation Establishment can solve your problems?"

"His cultivation might as well be all show, useless when needed!"

Ming Lan took a deep breath, no longer able to control her anger, "Miss, you can say what you like about me, but please refrain from speaking ill of Qin Qi!"

Ming Xueying seemed intent on provoking Ming Lan.

Seeing Ming Lan’s anger, she felt even more delighted, "What if I do? Let’s test your lover, shall we?"

"Just so happens, I’ve invited an ally, who’s joining me to the Land of Overflowing Spirits. How about we have them spar?"

"Xue Zhou, where are you?"

Afterward, a lazy voice rang out, "Miss Ming, do you think I’d dare wander far?"

With the voice fading, everyone then noticed a young man leaning against the wall nearby.

"Is it Xue Zhou?"

"The closed-door disciple of Cloud Crane Sect’s Ancestor, Xue Zhou? They say he’s reached the Fake Core Stage in his twenties, renowned for his talent and strength in the Northwest Region!"

"Miss Ming is too cruel, to have Xue Zhou spar with this kid?"

"Ming Lan’s hard-found helper is finished now. Miss Ming always acts upon whim, given the test, the kid will be injured at best, at worst, lose an arm or leg!"

Ming Lan evidently heard of Xue Zhou’s fame, about to refuse.

But at this moment, Qin Qi yawned, "Alright, let’s spar!"

"Qin Qi, you!"

Ming Lan was shocked.

Qin Qi has gone mad? Sparring with Xue Zhou.

Hearing Qin Qi’s words, Xue Zhou too was surprised, then chuckled.

"Kid, should I call you foolish or brave?"

"Had you kept retreating, maybe Xue Ying’s temper would ease, ending this drama."

Xue Zhou said with disdain, "Yet you’ve chosen this moment for a hero act. Spar with me? Are you sure?"

"What, do you have an extra pair of arms and legs? Sparring, can’t I?" Qin Qi replied calmly.

Ming Xueying smiled brightly, clapping excitedly, "Great, great, fight, hurry up and fight. I’ve paid a lot for Xue Zhou. Don’t hold back!"

Xue Zhou stretched lazily: "Rest assured, against merely a Peak Foundation Establishment, it’ll be easy!"

"Kid, choose how to lose to save face."

Ming Lan gazed towards Qin Qi, wanting to dissuade him.

After all, Xue Zhou’s strength was already well-renowned. Even at the upcoming Land of Overflowing Spirits, he’s among the top tier talents, the prime adversary.

Qin Qi said leisurely, "To me, I’d say you might not win!"

As time passed, more spectators gathered.

Hearing Qin Qi’s bold remark.

Many couldn’t help but laugh loudly.

"Seriously, where does this kid find the gall to speak like that?"
