Don't mess with the little apprentice sister! She is greedy and immoral

"Thank you, senior brother." Qin Zhen did not refuse Jing Xing's kindness.

Just as she agreed, she suddenly felt the mark on her hand begin to get hot again.

"Junior sister, your hand." Jing Xing's brows suddenly frowned.

Qin Zhen suddenly raised her hand and saw that the mark on the back of her hand was disappearing bit by bit.

At the same time, the cold air that had invaded Qin Zhen's body disappeared in an instant, leaving only a tingling sensation, as if -

Like being electrocuted.

Qin Zhen didn't know why, but she suddenly remembered the lightning that she had swallowed.

Apart from that heavenly thunder, Qin Zhen couldn't think of anything else that had the ability to chase away demons and eliminate evil.

Although Qin Zhen guessed that there was something wrong with her body at that time, nothing unusual happened after that. In addition, she was busy with various things after entering the Poyun Sect, so she never had the chance to figure out what was going on.

Who would have thought that this situation would happen now.

"Give me your hand." Jing Xing's brows were already wrinkled into a "川" shape, and he pulled Qin Zhen's hand without saying anything.

"It will be a little painful, just bear with it."

Qin Zhen nodded.

The spiritual energy belonging to Jingxing spread along Qin Zhen's arm to her whole body little by little, until it had flowed through her entire body. Only then did Jingxing breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious."

After Jing Xing finished speaking, he let go of Qin Zhen's hand, but his expression showed some self-blame.

"I thought that with the vestments made of the phoenix tree and the thousand-year-old shark silk, you wouldn't get hurt in this secret realm. So when I saw the fingerprint just now, I didn't pay too much attention to it. I didn't want you to encounter an accident."

"I'm fine, Second Brother, you don't have to be so careful."

Qin Zhen saw this and spoke quickly.

Seeing Jing Xing frowning, as if to refute her statement, Qin Zhen spoke again without thinking:

"Brother, cultivation is full of dangers and trials. I am glad that you are willing to take care of everything for me, but you don't have to worry too much about me, because in my opinion - all accidents are opportunities."

When Qin Zhen said this, she looked straight into Jing Xing's eyes, her eyes full of seriousness.

Those were a pair of extremely clear eyes.

Jingxing looked at those eyes and felt a little dazed for a moment.

It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and then he sighed deeply: "Alas, I am still a golden elixir, and I am not as clear-sighted as my junior sister in the way of cultivation."

"Second Brother is not incomprehensible, he just cares about me. I still understand this."

Jing Xing smiled and rubbed Qin Zhen's head. He seemed to like this action recently.

"Junior sister, this is my first time being a senior brother, so I don't know what I should do. I just want to do as much as I can to make sure I can do it. I'm not letting you down. If I do anything wrong, you have to tell me."

Qin Zhen never expected Jing Xing to say this to her, and a warm feeling seemed to flow through her heart.

She believed that when she was the eldest senior sister of Tianyan Sect, she was not as caring as Jingxing.

She was truly loved.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhen smiled brightly: "Second Senior Brother, this is my first time being a Junior Sister, so I'm not very experienced yet. But in order to be worthy of such a good Senior Brother like you, I will work hard."

"Pfft." Seeing that Qin Zhen didn't forget to praise him in a roundabout way at this time, Jing Xing couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"But, senior brother, I suddenly remembered something." Qin Zhen suddenly said.

"what's up?"

"The handprint is wrong."

Qin Zhen said this and directly took Jing Xing's hand.

The temperature of Jingxing's palm was slightly higher, and his big hand could easily wrap Qin Zhen's hand.

"Look, when I hold your hand, my thumb is on the back of your hand."

As Qin Zhen spoke, she gently stroked the back of Jingxing's hand with her thumb.

Itchy.

Jing Xing subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but Qin Zhen held it even tighter. Her soft and slender fingers scratched her palm, and then let go.

"!"

"See? My four fingers are pinching the palm of your hand." Qin Zhen didn't notice Jing Xing's momentary stiffness at all, and was still explaining the way she had just held hands.

Jing Xing curled his fingers slightly and clenched his fists, as if he was afraid of being caught by Qin Zhen and played with again.

The itch in the palm of my hand never faded away, as if a feather was brushing against it.

This feeling is a bit strange.

But it was only a moment, Jing Xing put away his thoughts, and then said in a deep voice: "There is more than one fingerprint on the back of your hand just now."

"There was more than one person holding my hand just now?"

Qin Zhen imagined the scene and found it very horrifying.

Jing Xing quickly gave a negative answer: "I only saw one thing."

"Then what happened?"

Jing Xing frowned: "I have a guess, but I lack evidence now."

"Are we going to find evidence now?"

Jing Xing shook his head, and then suddenly asked Qin Zhen: "Where is the thing Xiao Yan gave you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen hurriedly checked her Qiankun Ring.

Although she already had a vague guess in her mind, when she saw that the place where the black iron was supposed to be was empty, she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Gone."

As long as the fog appears, everything related to the secret realm will be reset, including the black iron.

"Do you think this day is as long as the first day?"

Although Qin Zhen is only in the Qi Refining stage now and cannot perceive the weather as well as before, she still has a vague feeling.

"It's different. The first day feels shorter."

Qin Zhen remembered that she just followed Mingzhe to the underground and was soon teleported back to the entrance of the secret realm.

Even though Mingzhe was not very fast in dismantling the mechanism, the total time he spent was still shorter than they did today.

“This may also be a hint.”

"What do you mean?" Qin Zhen didn't understand what Jing Xing meant.

"The secret realm is controlled."

"Are you saying that Fairy Li Yun is still in this secret realm and hasn't died?"

Jing Xing shook his head: "It may not be that he has not fallen, but I am afraid that there will be a trace of residual soul left."

"So what are we going to do later?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Xing tilted his head to look at Qin Zhen and uttered four words: "Sacrificial ceremony."

This is also what Qin Zhen wants to confirm.

This time, there were far fewer people who were not injured than the first time, and many people were injured to varying degrees.

This made Qin Zhen feel very strange. She felt that this secret realm was quite peaceful, so peaceful that she could not even see any extra people. She didn't know how these people could have gotten themselves into such a mess.

It was as if they had not entered the same secret realm.

Only after the seriously injured people were sent back did the white fog dissipate again.

Qin Zhen and Jing Xing already had a goal, so they went straight to the altar.

"There's still no one here. Didn't Xiaoyan say there would be a sacrificial ceremony today?" Qin Zhen frowned as she saw the empty altar which was no different from yesterday.
