Primordial 'Dual Cultivator' Dragon With System

851 Qiao Lingzhi Was Jealous

Qiao Xiang sat on a boulder while playing the lute, but his eyes continued to watch the two women who were having fun under the waterfall.

*Tap… Tap…*

“I knew you would be here, Xiang.”

“Hmm?” Qiao Xiang looked back and asked the purple-haired woman who had just arrived. “Why are you looking for me, Meng Qi?”

“Haha.” Meng Qi jumped up before hugging Qiao Xiang from behind. “Someone told me that you had quarreled with Ye Yongzhi and Xiang Xun because of two women, and I was curious about their identities.”

“She is my cousin, Qiao Lingzi, and the other woman is Nangong Nichang.” Meng Qi immediately looked at the two women. “You know those guys characters, so I have to protect them.”

“They are indeed scumbags, especially Ye Yongzhi.” Meng Qi replied with a nod of approval. “He even shared Du Yanyao with many men, and I certainly didn’t want to be treated like that. That’s why I rejected him when he approached me, and I preferred to be your partner. Anyway, why did your uncle send your cousin to this sect? Doesn’t he dislike dual cultivators?”

“You can see their closeness, and Lingzhi joined this sect to accompany Nichang, especially since her Nangong Clan is in chaos.”

“Hmm?” Meng Qi turned to him. “Speaking of the Nangong Clan, I heard from my parents that they and the people from the Ouyang Clan disappeared, and no one knows their whereabouts.”

Qiao Xiang was not surprised that Meng Qi knew about that, especially since her Meng Clan was one of the second-grade clans living in Ouyang City. “Senior Huang took the people from the Ouyang Clan away to a safe place, but I don’t know where they hid them. As for the Nangong Clan, Lingzhi told me that Uncle Yuhai and Aunt Ye are in someone’s hands now, and that person is trying to remove the influence of those heretics on them.”

“So it’s true that the Nangong Clan is lacking in those heretics?” Qiao Xiang just nodded at her, and Meng Qing looked at the two women again. “Nichang is really pitiful; she is still young, but she has to face such a situation. Fortunately, she has your cousin by her side, or else she would have fallen into a pit of sorrow.”

Qiao Xiang agreed with her words. “That’s why I brought them here to cheer up Nichang.”

“Hehe, I wasn’t wrong in choosing you as my partner; you are gentle and considerate.” Meng Qi said that as she hugged Qiao Xiang tighter. “Why do I feel the yang qi of the same man inside their bodies? If I remember correctly, I also felt the same yang qi inside the bodies of Bo Xiaoying and friends.”

“Hmm?” Qiao Xiang turned to her with a raised eyebrow. “Are you sure about that?”

“Yes.” Meng Qi nodded to him. “You yourself know about my sensitivity to everyone’s yang qi and yin qi, so I’m sure that it originates from the same man. Anyway, Li Qian’er told me that she got it from Elder Chuqing, and she should pay high enough to get it, but she didn’t know about the man’s identity because she deliberately hid his identity.”

“Apart from Li Qian’er, who was the other woman who swallowed that man’s yang qi?”

“Hmm?” Meng Qi immediately revealed the identities of the eight women, which made Qiao Xiang quite shocked. “Like Li Xian’er, they also bought that yang qi at a high price, except for Yun Gongzhu because she decided to become his partner.”

‘Who exactly is that man? Why was Elder Chuqing willing to help him to such an extent? And why did Yun Gongzhu suddenly decide to accept a new partner?’

“Cousin!”

Just as Qiao Xiang was thinking that, Qiao Lingzhi called out to him as she jumped onto the boulder along with Nangong Nichang, but they were surprised by Meng Qi’s presence.

‘This little girl likes her cousin, huh?’ Meng Qi inwardly muttered as she noticed the jealousy in Qiao Lingzhi’s eyes. “I am Qiao Xiang’s dual cultivation partner.”

“Is she really your partner, Cousin?” Qiao Lingzhi asked in a jealous tone.

“Yes.” Qiao Xiang certainly didn’t hide it from her. “Meng Qi is a good woman, and we have been dual cultivation partners for a long time.” ℴ

“I see.” Qiao Lingzhi just nodded and didn’t ask further, and Nangong Nichang held her hand as she could feel her best friend’s feelings.

However, Meng Qi suddenly asked her. “Do you love your cousin, Lingzhi?”

Not only was Qiao Lingzhi shocked by Meng Qi’s question, but Qiao Xiang was also shocked after hearing that, especially since he had never realized it, and Nangong Nichang looked at her with a frown.

Meng Qi then turned to Qiao Xiang and explained it to him. “I am a woman, and I could see the jealousy in your cousin’s eyes, and her reaction proved that my question was on point.”

“Do you really like me, cousin?” Qiao Lingzhi nodded at him, and her answer made Qiao Xiang sigh heavily. “I-”

“Cousin, I’m very aware of our situation, so you don’t need to say anything to me or I’ll be disappointed in you. Even though it’s hard for me, I’ve decided to keep my feelings to myself.” After she said that, Qiao Lingzhi turned to Nangong Nichang, and they immediately flew away.

“Aren’t you going to chase your cousin?”

“I know Lingzhi’s character, so I won’t chase her, and I will talk to her after she calms down.” Qiao Xiang then stored his lute and brought Meng Qi to her feet. “Let’s go back. I want to see Elder Chuqing ask about that man’s identity; I suspect that he has certain intentions towards my cousin.”

“All right, I’m also curious about that man’s identity.”

The two women had arrived at their residence, and Qiao Lingzhi dashed to her room, confusing Su Xin and Yue Tu, who were talking in the living room, so Nangong Nichang explained it to them.

“I didn’t expect Lingzhi to fall in love with her cousin.” Yue Tu said as she shook her head. “Qiao Xiang is indeed a good man, and many female disciples are attracted to him, but he is only interested in Meng Qi and Shang Meiqi, so it is no surprise that she fell in love with him.”

Nangong Nichang agreed with that. “You’re right, Senior Tu. I also feel Big Brother Xiang is kind, but unfortunately they are cousins, so he can’t accept Lingzhi’s feelings.”

‘Indeed, not everyone can accept such a relationship.’ Su Xin also commented on this. ‘If Mo Chen were in Qiao Xiang’s position, he would not be reluctant to accept Lingzhi’s feelings.’

Yue Tu and Nangong Nichang were not surprised by that, especially since Ling Yu’er was Ling Yun’s cousin, and Ling Xiya was his half-sister.

*Knock*

Suddenly, someone knocked on their residence, and Yue Tu raised her eyebrows. “Tao Ruirui? Why is she here again?”

“She must have come here to look for Big Sis Xiao again.” Nangong Nichang then opened the door for Tao Ruirui.

“Is Xiao Xiao still not back?” The three women just shook their heads at her, making Tao Ruirui sigh heavily. “If she comes back later, please tell her that I want to talk to her.”

“Hey, Rui! You know that she’s not willing to talk to you, so you should stop bothering her.” Yue Tu shouted irritably, especially since Xiao Xiao had repeatedly rejected Tao Ruirui, but she was still stubborn and unwilling to give up. “If you don’t want to stop approaching her, you will regret it someday, especially if Mo Chen gets angry with you.”

“Humph!” Tao Ruirui snorted at her. “Do you think I’m afraid of a weakling like him? If you and that woman hadn’t protected him, I would have beaten him up long ago!”

Hearing that, Nangong Nichang tried to advise Tao Ruirui. “Senior Sister, you underestimate Mo Chen too much, and I can tell you that he is much more terrifying than you imagine. Moreover, he doesn’t need Big Sis Yu or Big Sis Tu’s help to do anything to you, so I hope you stop bothering Big Sis Xiao before it’s too late.”

“You-”

“You should listen to her, Tao Ruirui.” Tian Yueling said as she walked out of her room. “Do you think my grandfather would accept Mo Chen as his disciple if he were a weakling? Do you think my family would hand me over to him if he were an ordinary man?”

Tao Ruirui frowned upon hearing that, and she felt confused by their confidence in Ling Yun. ‘What’s so special about that bastard? Why are they all so supportive of him?’

Tian Yueling then spoke to her again. “You may not believe our words, but I’ve spent quite a lot of time with Mo Chen, so I know his character more or less. Moreover, he is a possessive and protective person, and he will not remain silent if you continue to pester Xiao Xiao. Otherwise, you will experience something you would never have imagined before, and you will suffer throughout your life.”

“Tch!” Tao Ruirui gritted her teeth before turning to leave in a hurry.

The women shook their heads at Tao Ruirui’s behavior, and Tian Yueling asked the others. “Where’s Big Sis Yu? Why isn’t she here?”

Su Xin informed her. ‘Big Sis Yu told me that she went to meet the people from the Sunset Valley, as they already had some disciples for the new Lotus Sect.’
