After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Started Pursuing My Master-Chapter 35 - Reward
Chapter 35: Reward
Today, Luo Qingyu was dressed in a purple skirt that fluttered without wind under the light of the firefly stones.
Her face had lost all the docility she showed in front of Jiang Huai, and at this moment, her pale blue eyes were as cold as iron, her hand holding the sword steady without a tremor.
The disciples of Alchemy Mountain had surrounded Luo Qingyu, and as for Li Qiusheng?
His tongue and teeth were scattered on the ground, and he was unable to utter a single word. He had quickly thrown a healing pill into his mouth, but the pain from the sword’s circle around his lips spread to his heart, causing his whole body to tremble and cold sweat to break out on his forehead.
The most interesting thing was that all the Alchemy Mountain disciples present knew of Luo Qingyu’s reputation. Everyone knew she was the only daughter of the Qingxuan Sect’s sect master, and Luo Yueguan’s reputation for seeking retribution was well-known throughout the Yuelan Continent.
The Qingxuan Sect was the number one sect on Yuelan Continent, even slightly above the Tianxuan Sect. At this moment, Luo Qingyu stood there quietly, even though she had just cut off the tongue of Alchemy Mountain’s top disciple Li Qiusheng, no one dared to take a step forward.
“Kneel and kowtow within ten breaths or die.”
Luo Qingyu’s voice carried a chilling coldness. Li Qiusheng, now sitting in a chair, began to tremble violently. Each breath seemed to stretch into eternity, and Luo Qingyu’s eyes held only cold ruthlessness, not a hint of mercy.
Jiang Huai stood beside Luo Qingyu. Of course, he couldn’t let Luo Qingyu actually kill Li Qiusheng for him.
Although he also thought Li Qiusheng was not a good person, he didn’t deserve to die. But before the ten breaths were up, a furious shout came from the distant sky.
“How audacious!”
The furrowed brows of the Alchemy Mountain disciples finally relaxed.
The newcomer was the deputy master of Alchemy Mountain, Li Qiusheng’s mother, Qin Wurou.
Qin Wurou was a sixth realm cultivator, a heavenly-grade alchemist. She suddenly appeared, dressed in a jade-colored Taoist robe with her long hair pinned up, and in an instant, she was standing in front of Li Qiusheng.
She, of course, saw Li Qiusheng’s wretched state, and her eyes immediately filled with distress. When she shifted her gaze to Luo Qingyu, it was already filled with anger.
“Was it you who injured my son like this?!”
Under the oppressive aura of Qin Wurou’s sixth realm of Void Refinement, all the disciples of Alchemy Mountain held their breath. But Luo Qingyu simply spoke indifferently.
“He insulted my good sister first, and after I administered some punishment, he called me a despicable woman. So, I want him to kowtow and apologize.”
“Just you, little girl?”
“Because my mother is Luo Yueguan of the Qingxuan Sect.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Wurou’s expression began to twist. Of course, she recognized who Luo Qingyu was. After all, Luo Qingyu’s appearance was too similar to Luo Yueguan’s, and Luo Yueguan’s reputation was known to everyone on Yuelan Continent.
She and Luo Yueguan were cultivators of the same era, but she could only look up to Luo Yueguan. Not to mention, she knew all too well about Luo Yueguan’s temperament.
She seemed to be accommodating on all sides, but in reality, she had the heart of a child and couldn’t stand the slightest grievance. Anyone who angered her would be remembered for a hundred years, until they were willing to give in.
So the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Qin Wurou wanted to say more harsh words, but the name Luo Yueguan lingered in her heart, and for a moment, she dared not respond.
After several more breaths, she finally spoke slowly, “My son insulted you, and you have punished him. Let’s leave today’s matter at that and not bring it up again.”
“I want him to kneel and kowtow.”
Even though Qin Wurou had already taken a step back, Luo Qingyu did not budge.
Qin Wurou’s eyes flared with anger again. She had already taken a step back, but Luo Qingyu in front of her was unrelenting. If she really let her child kneel and kowtow in front of all these Alchemy Mountain disciples, who knows what kind of shadow it would cast on him in the future.
“I’ve already taken a step back, and you’re still not satisfied? I’ll tell you, as long as I’m here, my son will not kneel to you!” Qin Wurou stood tall.

Luo Qingyu looked at her indifferently, “Fine, then I’ll call my mother to decide.”
Qin Wurou’s heart skipped a beat.
“Wait a moment…”
Qin Wurou took a deep breath, feeling humiliated but having no choice.
“My son was wrong to insult you, I’ll have him apologize to you verbally… Let’s leave it at that, shall we?”
Luo Qingyu did not answer but looked towards Jiang Huai. In an instant, the murderous and cold look in her eyes disappeared, and she sheathed her sword, returning to her docile demeanor. She gently wrapped her arms around Jiang Huai’s arm and looked up at him.
“What does Brother Jiang Huai think?”
“If Qingyu is willing, then… just an apology will do?”
“I’ll listen to Brother Jiang Huai.”
Qin Wurou was somewhat relieved, but when she looked at Li Qiusheng, she realized that his eyes were still full of resentment. She had to soften her tone and said gently.
“Qiusheng, apologize to her.”
Li Qiusheng clenched his lips, not uttering a single word.
“Qiusheng!”
Qin Wurou’s tone rose a few notches, her eyelashes drooping slightly.
“Listen to your mother, be good.”
Li Qiusheng finally slowly opened his mouth, and although his voice was muffled and unclear, one could still make out the words, “I was wrong.”
It seemed that the matter was officially concluded, but after a moment of silence, Jiang Huai looked at Li Qiusheng.
“I still hope you can sell me that Blood Sandalwood Flower. I’m still willing to offer ten thousand spirit stones.”
“Blood Sandalwood Flower? What Blood Sandalwood Flower?” Qin Wurou was puzzled.
After communicating with Li Qiusheng through spiritual sense, she finally understood that today’s dispute was caused by this Blood Sandalwood Flower. She knew Li Qiusheng didn’t need this flower, so she sighed softly.
“Take it out, if you don’t need it, give it to him.”
In the end, the Blood Sandalwood Flower was still handed over to Qin Wurou by Li Qiusheng. Qin Wurou looked at the flower in her hand and approached Jiang Huai.
Her eyes coldly looked at Jiang Huai, “I can give you this Blood Sandalwood Flower, but I hope you can agree to one condition.”
“Please speak, Elder Qin.”
“My son has a perverse temperament, it’s my failure in discipline. But after you get this Blood Sandalwood Flower, please don’t trouble my son anymore.”
Jiang Huai took out three thousand spirit stone notes.
“I never thought of troubling him to begin with. I also didn’t want to see today’s events. Qingyu is still young and doesn’t understand everything, so if there’s anything she did wrong, I apologize to you on her behalf.”
What’s done is done, what’s the use of saying nice things? They were all disciples of the same sect, and Jiang Huai didn’t want to make things too awkward.
The Blood Sandalwood Flower eventually ended up in Jiang Huai’s hands, and Qin Wurou didn’t want to accept the three thousand spirit stones, but Jiang Huai respectfully handed them over, not giving her a chance to refuse.
Having obtained the Blood Sandalwood Flower, Jiang Huai turned to leave, with Luo Qingyu obediently holding his arm, descending the mountain with him.
Qin Wurou turned her head and looked at Li Qiusheng, whose eyes were still full of resentment. She approached Li Qiusheng and gently stroked his head, using her spiritual energy to nurture his wounds and alleviate his pain.
“Mother knows you’re not reconciled, and I’m useless, unable to provoke Luo Yueguan of the Qingxuan Sect. You don’t know how terrifying that woman’s methods are.”
“You will meet Jiang Huai in the inner sect competition… That’s your only chance for revenge in front of everyone. Your father’s medicine will be ready soon. If you defeat him in the inner sect competition, no one will look down on you.”
“Qiusheng, there’s still a long road ahead. There’s no need to be angry with a cripple now. Once you step into the sixth realm, the seventh realm, you’ll find that everything now is just a thing of the past.”
.......
On the way back to the mountain.
Luo Qingyu was still holding Jiang Huai’s arm. She suddenly asked softly.
“Was Qingyu being unreasonable?”
“No, Qingyu was too sensible.”
“Then why did Brother Jiang Huai say Qingyu was wrong?”
“Since the deed is done, saying something nice to give someone a way out doesn’t hurt. After all, you can’t be too absolute; you always have to leave some room.”
“Qingyu understands.” Luo Qingyu’s lips pouted slightly.
“Hm?”
“If Qingyu had just asked him to apologize, he definitely wouldn’t have agreed at first. But if Qingyu said to kowtow or be killed if he didn’t, then he would definitely kowtow to Qingyu.”
“…”
Jiang Huai was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
“Was Qingyu very good today?”
“Mm-hmm, very good.”
“Then… can I get a reward?”
“What kind of reward do you want?”
“I want… to be held by Brother Jiang Huai…”
“Okay.”
“And also... I also want Brother Jiang Huai… to twist Qingyu’s leg…”
“Just a gentle twist is okay.”
“And also... um, what else... I also want… Brother Jiang Huai… to spank Qingyu’s bottom…”
“Hmm? Quite greedy, aren’t you?”
“No…?”
Luo Qingyu looked at him with a pitiful gaze, and Jiang Huai, having no choice, picked her up, “Then let’s go back to the room and talk about it.”
Luo Qingyu instantly lifted her legs happily, clamping his waist tightly, and wrapped her arms around his neck. She really liked the feeling of being held by Jiang Huai, so warm and melting.
......
Back in the room.
Chu Xianning wasn’t in the courtyard, so she must be asleep. Jiang Huai carried Luo Qingyu back to the room, where she obediently sat on the edge of the bed. Jiang Huai knelt down to take off her shoes and socks. Luo Qingyu’s toes playfully poked at Jiang Huai’s chest. It’s so cute.
Jiang Huai reached out to pinch them and then grabbed her slender ankle, lifting her leg all the way to her shoulder. The girl’s body was so flexible, she could easily do this pose.
But it was a little embarrassing.
Jiang Huai let go, and Luo Qingyu then obediently lay down on the bed. She slowly lifted her skirt until her thighs were fully exposed. She slightly parted her legs and turned her eyes away, full of anticipation as she looked at Jiang Huai.
Each time Jiang Huai gently twisted, she let out a faint gasp. It was like a kitten meowing, and her eyes gradually became hazy until many red marks were left on her legs, and Luo Qingyu’s body had become very soft.
“Do you still want to be spanked?”
“K-keep it for tomorrow, tomorrow…” Luo Qingyu’s voice trembled.
