Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 520

"Unexpectedly, Lin Qing, the most prominent disciple of the Liuyun Sect, would do such a thing for personal gain."

Lin Qing hadn’t walked far. He was skipping stones by a small lake he stumbled across, seemingly venting his inner emotions. Yet, somehow, he couldn’t even skip the stones far.

When Cen Lizhui said this, Lin Qing didn’t even turn his head.

Cen Lizhui casually picked up a stone and, with a swift motion, skipped it halfway across the lake.

Lin Qing clenched his fist even tighter, his voice deep and low: "Do you really think that not many people can recognize you? Although the Immortal Sect remains somewhat hidden, it cannot escape the scrutiny of those who are intent on probing. As the Sect Leader’s chief disciple and a prodigy of cultivation, it’s just you and me in the Immortal Cultivation World who have reached the Golden Core Stage at this age... Oh right, now Miss Chen has as well."

"I didn’t expect you would believe I was the one who spread it around. Ha, it seems the Immortal Sect disciples aren’t as noble and pure as the legends say; there’s quite a bit of darkness hidden inside."

Lin Qing spoke as he casually tossed the stone he hadn’t yet thrown, dusting off his hands.

Cen Lizhui’s gaze darkened: "Immortal Sect disciples, after all, aren’t Immortals... actually, there’s no need to hide it..."

Before Lin Qing figured out what Cen Lizhui meant, he saw Cen Lizhui approaching him with a fierce, aggressive look. Lin Qing’s heart jolted, and he instinctively got into a fighting stance, unleashing spiritual energy to block. However, Cen Lizhui didn’t attack him; instead, he was knocked off balance by the burst of spiritual energy and fell straight into the lake!

"You?!"

"My goodness!"

Chen Muxue arrived just in time to see Lin Qing "boom" have Cen Lizhui knocked into the lake. Without pausing for thought, she rushed forward, only managing to stop at the lake’s edge, flailing her arms as she teetered, and Lin Qing reached out to pull her back.

"Almost forgot I can’t swim..." Chen Muxue patted her chest. Not only did she forget she couldn’t swim, but she also kept forgetting she was a cultivator...

Chen Muxue used spiritual energy to lift the water and brought Cen Lizhui out of the lake.

Hmm... That night he definitely jumped into the lake, wasn’t just caught in the rain.

Cen Lizhui sat slumped on the ground, coughing up water, pitifully clutching Chen Muxue’s pant leg, without speaking or even looking at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing didn’t expect he could have done such a thing. He quickly said, "Miss Chen, it’s not what it looks like, let me explain!"

"Go on, I didn’t say I wouldn’t listen." Chen Muxue looked at him curiously.

This reaction left Lin Qing momentarily speechless.

"Let’s go back, I’m cold..." Cen Lizhui weakly spoke, then coughed a few more times.

Chen Muxue reached out to dry him, generously returning the water to the small lake.

"Still cold?"

Silence, silence engulfed the lakeside today.

"It’s like this, he rushed at me, I thought he was going to hit me, so I countered, but who knew he wouldn’t hit me and instead fell into the lake himself. I didn’t push him." Lin Qing finally remembered to explain.

Cen Lizhui didn’t argue back or do much else, he just stood by Chen Muxue, tugging at her clothes, silently pitiful.

His rightful stance next to Chen Muxue made Lin Qing furious.

A junior disciple from the Liuyun Sect arrived late at the scene. Sensing the unusual atmosphere, he turned to run away, but Chen Muxue caught him: "Do you think your senior brother is acting strange?"

"Our senior brother is charming and beloved by all. Handsome as a jade tree, admired by many, how can he be strange? Mind your business." The junior disciple lifted his chin.

"Nonsense! Interfere, Miss Chen, fiercely meddle!" Lin Qing pushed his junior brother aside.
