Cultivators are not necessarily good people and will not be noble enough to refrain from using magic for the sake of "world peace".

  There is only one possibility.

  That's why cultivators won't use magic in front of ordinary people, they are being restrained! Every world has its own tangible or intangible code of conduct, and the cultivation world is no exception.

  Furthermore, in a vast and powerful country like China, how could there not be some mysterious forces to restrain the actions of these cultivators?

  There is a privileged class that can avoid all taboos, but Lin Qingyao wouldn't think she's part of it, so it's still better to be careful.

  Lin Qingyao suddenly stopped in her tracks, looking at the road ahead. If she wasn't mistaken, if she walked any further forward, it wouldn't be Jinxiu District anymore.

  Where is this leading itself? What does it want to do with itself?

  Lin Qingyao was thinking of taking a risk and finding the market through Ji Qing, but she wouldn't be foolish enough to follow him even if he had ulterior motives.

  Ji Qing saw Lin Qingyao stop in her tracks, and let out a long sigh of relief. "Disciple sister, you scared me to death! I thought you were going to walk out!" If she had walked out, he would have had to be on guard.

  This junior sister is beautiful, but it can't be guaranteed that this junior sister won't think of plotting against herself, after all, the master said he was just a moving piece of fat...

  Fatty meat…… Thinking of this word, Ji Qing couldn't help but mock his master's superb metaphorical skills. Nowadays, which girl would be willing to eat fatty meat? If he said it was lean meat, it would probably be more vivid.

  Lin Qingyao's beautiful eyebrows rose, what did Ji Qing mean by this?

  Lin Qingyao withdrew her attention, trying not to let her defensive expression show too clearly, and then said in a clear voice: "Ji Shixiong, let's part ways here." In Lin Qingyao's heart, if they could avoid fighting, they would avoid fighting, so she felt Ji Qing's abnormality, but didn't directly tear off the facade.

  Ji Qing's smile faded, Lin Qingyao thought Ji Qing would confront her and put on a cold face, but instead Ji Qing's next expression left Lin Qingyao somewhat at a loss.

  Ji Qing pulled a bitter melon face, blinking his bright eyes, pitifully looking at Lin Qingyao.

  Lin Qingyao had a premonition that this was Ji Qing, who didn't have any good intentions towards her, but it seemed like he wasn't going to hurt her either. So she didn't directly run away, instead waiting for Ji Qing to speak.

  As expected, at this time, Ji Qing opened his mouth with extreme grievance: "Junior sister, I've followed you all the way here, but you never intended to take me to the market, instead you wanted to abandon me outside of Jinxiu District..."

  Lin Qingyao was stunned and obviously couldn't digest the meaning in Ji Qing's words.

  "Then let's go to the market, I promise not to trouble you, once we're inside, we'll go our separate ways..."

  Lin Qingyao interrupted Ji Qing's words: "Stop! You say slowly, are you saying I took you to Fang City?" Lin Qingyao pointed at herself and asked.

  Ji Qing looked at Lin Qingyao with a surprised expression: "Isn't it?"

  "When did I promise to take you to the town?!" Lin Qingyao's tone naturally became unpleasant, and it turned out that this one was also someone who didn't know where the town was!

  I thought I had finally achieved something by waiting for a chance, and then I met a monk who could take me to the market. But I didn't expect things to turn out like this!

  After being said by Ji Qing, Lin Qingyao immediately understood the situation and realized that Ji Qing had not intended to deceive her, but rather she had misunderstood his words. It should be said that Ji Qing had deliberately made friends with her and set up a "trap" for herself.

  Lin Qingyao was getting angrier by the minute, gritting her teeth as she stared at Ji Qing.

  Lin Qingyao wasn't wrong, Ji Qing had indeed intentionally approached Lin Qingyao with the intention of going to Fangshi Market together. However, he was somewhat concerned about saving face and didn't want to admit that he only knew Fangshi Market was in Jinxiu District but didn't know its exact location.

  He, who was particular about his image, as soon as he heard that Lin Qingyao said she was going to the market, hastily and warmly accompanied Lin Qingyao. It was also his bad luck, among a thousand cultivators like Lin Qingyao who didn't know anything, not one could be found, but today he happened to run into her.

  Ji Qing hadn't reacted yet, and his "noble person" Lin Qingyao didn't know where the town was either. After hearing Lin Qingyao's words, he just thought it was a common problem among female cultivators - turning their faces and not recognizing people, and didn't think much of it.

  He looked at Lin Qingyao with a pitiful expression: "Junior sister, I know you didn't explicitly agree to it, but since we're both going to Fang City, just consider it a small favor and bring me along, it's not like it's a big deal... Junior sister, I know you have a kind heart, can you bear to leave me here all alone? Just take me with you!"

  Lin Qingyao's temples throbbed with rage, she was so angry that she wanted to slap this idiot who had a higher cultivation level than her!

  She couldn't help but think to herself, what kind of things has she encountered today! This freak, actually ran into her! Don't know whether to say she's lucky or unlucky!

  "Sister-in-law..." Ji Qing's expression became increasingly sorrowful, and occasionally, passersby would glance at Lin Qingyao with disapproving eyes, clearly taking her for a heartless woman who had callously rejected a lovesick man.

  Lin Qingyao calmed down a bit, took a deep breath, and then couldn't help but say: "I don't even know where Fang City is! I also never said I'd take you to Fang City!"

  Ji Qing suddenly stopped talking, staring at Lin Qingyao with wide eyes. After a while, he stuttered and asked: "What did you say? Are you saying that you don't even know where Fang City is?"

  Lin Qingyao looked at the lively and spirited cultivator in front of her, whose cultivation was a notch higher than hers, and repeated: "I don't know!"

  "Then why did you bring me all the way here!" Ji Qing's words were laced with accusation, but of course, this accusation wasn't very serious, her tone carried a hint of reproach and a hint of grievance.

  It's better for Ji Qing to scold Lin Qingyao directly, but now his tone is as if Lin Qingyao has done something wrong to him.

  Lin Qingyao clenched her fists tightly, then loosened them, and then clenched them again, controlling the urge to use violence on Ji Qing.

  It's not that she's really good and doesn't want to make a move, but... it's just that Ji Qing is indeed more powerful, although he's a bit of an idiot and seems to have some brain problems, his cultivation is undoubtedly higher than hers!

  If it really starts, she will definitely be at a disadvantage!

  Lin Qingyao finally controlled her emotions and tried to calm down: "I'm not blaming you, but you're blaming me instead? I originally thought the path you took was correct!"

  She was wrong about this matter, but it can't be all blamed on her!

  The road was walked through messily by two people together, now that there's a problem, blaming her? She can't take it anymore!

  Does she think he's leading her astray? Don't be ridiculous, he's just following him because he thought he knew the way to Fang City!

  Ji Qing suddenly stopped talking, as if she had suddenly understood something. Her face turned red and she looked embarrassed, saying: "I... this is my fault, I'm sorry!"

  The last three words were spoken by Ji Qing with gritted teeth.

  When he was in the sect before, his qualifications were good, and the master protected him. His fellow disciples all gave way to him, which inevitably made him a bit self-centered.

  He had never spoken so humbly and asked for help before, let alone apologized to someone.

  Today, he didn't know what was wrong with him either. He looked at her furious face and inexplicably felt a strange feeling, as if he was afraid of her like that, yet wanted to get close to her. Anyway, he didn't want her to be angry with him. After all, she's a woman, so he'd better give in to her. So he awkwardly apologized.

  Ji Qing thought to himself, if his master were to find out about his current state, he would definitely be locked up in the forbidden grounds and severely punished for bringing shame to their sect.

  Lin Qingyao heard Ji Qing's awkward, seemingly apologetic words and felt a bit helpless, unable to get angry anymore. She also saw that Ji Qing was not a bad person by nature, but had probably been spoiled too much by his sect or family.

  Like a greenhouse flower.

  She was too lazy to argue with this brainless senior brother, so she said to Ji Qing: "There's nothing to apologize for, everyone is at fault in this matter." Lin Qingyao spoke straightforwardly and stated the fact.

  Ji Qing was taken aback, originally he apologized because he thought he was giving in to her and didn't think he was wrong at all. Just now, Lin Qingyao said that and he felt a bit embarrassed, as if... what she said made sense... This matter really did have reasons on both sides.

  Moreover, if one were to really think about it, it seems that the reason lies more with oneself. After all, it was oneself who went to strike up a conversation with this junior sister, and also didn't make things clear, or else she wouldn't have ended up following oneself in confusion! This thought turned over in Ji Qing's mind, and Ji Qing lowered his head in shame.

  Thinking about it, his heart seems even narrower than a female cultivator's... The more Ji Qing thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt.

  Lin Qingyao didn't know that Ji Qing had already started to regret, pushing everything onto Lin Qingyao's shoulders, and had begun a deep introspection, even if she knew, Lin Qingyao probably wouldn't have any reaction.

  Because she had already decided to part ways with this Master Ji, each going their separate ways, and from now on they should be like well water not interfering with river water! As for such an arrogant man, although she knew his heart was good and he was a kind person, but this person's character was simply a big trouble.

  She wanted to get rid of this big trouble before Ji Shixiong caught up with her.
