Chapter 195 - Qi Manifestation

Chapter 195 - Qi Manifestation

'What a weird dream…' Yuan thought to himself after waking up.
However, for some reason, he felt a little bit sad that he'd woken up, almost like he wanted to continue dreaming and playing the zither with Zither Goddess.
'I wonder if I'll be able to play the zither with the real person if I go to the upper heavens…' Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling a strong desire to meet Zither Goddess.
After breakfast, Yu Rou said, "Brother, the zither competition is tomorrow, right?"
"Yes, that's right."
"Are you making your way to the location yet?"
"I am already there. We arrived yesterday."
"I see… By the way, I need some help getting out of the city. I haven't logged in since we last played together, but my permit will have long expired when I log in next time, and I don't want to be punished for staying longer than I was permitted." Yu Rou said.
"Oh, right… I had forgotten about that…" Yuan mumbled.
And then he said, "Don't worry, I'll send Fei Fei over to help you when you decide to log in."
"Okay! Thank you!"
Sometime later, Yuan returned to the game.
"Welcome back, Disciple Yuan." Elder Shan opened her eyes the moment she felt Yuan's presence suddenly appear in the room.
"I am back, Senior Shan—"
Right as Yuan opened his mouth, Elder Shan suddenly reached for his arms before pulling him onto the bed.
"S-Senior Shan?!" Yuan spoke in a startled voice when Elder Shan suddenly embraced him on the bed, treating him like some sort of pillow.
"How could you let a beautiful young woman like me stay in the same room as some old man for the entire night? It's like you don't care at all…" Elder Shan sighed out loud.
Elder Xuan's eyebrows twitched at her words, and he said, "I may be older than you, but to call yourself a young woman… That'd make me a middle-aged man, no?"
However, Elder Shan ignored Elder Xuan's words and continued to hug Yuan's body, even wrapping her legs around his legs.
"What do you think, Disciple Yuan? We can stay like this for as long as you'd like… Just give me the word…" Elder Shan said with an alluring smile on her face.
Bonk!
Before Yuan could even respond, Elder Shan felt something hard hit her head.
"Ah! How dare you hit me, Elder Xuan!" Elder Shan shouted in a painful voice before turning to behind her.
However, to her surprise, Elder Xuan was still sitting on the bed and nowhere near her with a puzzled look on his face.
"What do you mean? I never hit you." Elder Xuan said with a dumbfounded look on his face, yet the pain in Elder Shan's expression looked genuine.
"Then who hit me just now?! Are you telling me a ghost did it?!" Elder Shan did not believe Elder Xuan.
"I really don't know what you're talking about, Elder Shan. You're claiming that I'd hit you, but look at my hands— they're empty!" Elder Xuan showed her his hands.
Elder Shan narrowed her eyes at him. It felt like someone had hit her head with something hard and solid, but there was no way Elder Xuan could've hit her from so far away and then hide the weapon so quickly, so what happened just now? Did she imagine being hit? Did she imagine the pain? That's ridiculous no matter how she thought about it!
However, since there was no evidence or explanation to the situation just now, Elder Shan decided to ignore it and returned to focusing on Yuan.
"Well? What do you think, Disciple Yuan? I can teach you a lot of things—"
Bonk!
"Ah!"
After being hit the second time, Elder Shan immediately turned around to look at Elder Xuan, who stared back at her with a gawking look on his face.
Although he didn't see it at first, he definitely saw what happened the second time!
"Qi manifestation!" Elder Xuan mumbled in a shocked voice.
"What did you just say? Qi manifestation?" Elder Shan looked at him with a frown on her face.
Elder Xuan nodded and said, "I witnessed it with my own eyes just now! Someone had manifested their spiritual energy and hit your head with it!"
"What?!" Elder Shan immediately sat up on the bed.
Then she continued, "How is that possible?! Only Cultivators at the level of Spirit Grandmaster can have the ability to manifest their spiritual energy outside their body! Why would someone like that attack me for no reason?!"
Elder Xuan then turned to look at Yuan. Perhaps there was a Spirit Grandmaster somewhere out there protecting Yuan and this expert didn't like what Elder Shan was doing to him?
It was at this moment, unbeknownst to Elder Xuan or Yuan, a young voice suddenly resounded inside Elder Shan's head—
'Stop being so clingy with Brother Yuan…' Xiao Hua's voice resounded, sounding a bit irritated and envious.
"Eh?" Elder Shan turned to look at Yuan with wide eyes.
'Whose voice was that just now? Does Disciple Yuan have a sister at the Spirit Grandmaster level watching over him?! I knew it! He's definitely from a very powerful family!' Elder Shan thought to herself, feeling a little sweaty afterward.
"A-Anyway, let's go see if the other disciples are awake yet…" Elder Shan then said, pretending as though everything was normal.
Elder Xuan watched as Elder Shan disappeared from the room with raised eyebrows, wondering what had happened just now.
He then looked at Yuan, who looked as puzzled.
Sometime later, they followed Elder Shan outside.
"Are you girls awake yet?" Elder Shan knocked on the door.
A few moments later, Min Li opened the door and said, "Good morning, Elder Shan, Elder Xuan, and Disciple Yuan."
"Where's the other two?" Elder Shan asked.
Min Li opened the door to show them inside the room, and both Xuan Wuhan and Fei Yuyan could be seen still sleeping in their bed.
"They spent most of the night 'talking' to each other…" Min Li said with a somewhat bitter smile on her face.
