Qin Shi: I went astray in the Heavenly Sect

Chapter 62 The Boy in the Peach Blossom Grove, Yan Lingji
In April, the peach blossoms of the mountain temple begin to bloom.

There is a peach orchard in the south of Xinzheng City, and today two very strange guests came.

A young boy and a very charming girl.

"Hey, young master, what are you doing?"

A straight peach branch, as sharp as a sword, rested in front of the boy's knees, while a short dagger was held in his hand.

The boy raised his knife and brought it down, sending a flurry of wood chips flying.

Hearing the words behind him, the boy didn't stop what he was doing, but said softly, "Standing behind me is a very dangerous thing."

A moment later, a burst of giggles came from behind.

"Really?"

"Young master, you are quite the joker."

"If young master likes what's in front, then this humble servant will come~~"

The footsteps seemed to be deliberately made louder, coming from behind at a leisurely pace, but the boy seemed oblivious.

A moment later, a young woman appeared about half a zhang in front of the young man. She smiled and said, "Young master, I've arrived. Won't you take a look at my appearance?"

The boy slowly raised his eyes.

His ethereal and serene eyes reflected the woman before him. She wore a long dress adorned with flame patterns, her skin was as smooth as jade, her long red hair flowed like a waterfall, her features were exquisite, and her blue eyes exuded a captivating charm. Coupled with her graceful figure, she seemed like a stunning beauty who had stepped out of a painting.

At the same time, the girl also saw the boy's full appearance. His features, which had not yet fully matured, already had a touch of handsomeness. What surprised her even more were his eyes, which were calm and deep, as if they encompassed everything, or as if they were looking down on the world.

The eyes are the pupils of the heart. In that instant, she subconsciously shifted her gaze elsewhere, afraid that some of her little secrets would be discovered by the other party.

"You shouldn't be here~~"

The boy withdrew his gaze and spoke calmly.

The moment he saw the other person, he had already guessed their identity.

Yan Lingji – a woman who possesses both allure and ethereal charm.

"Young master, are you joking again? Does this peach grove belong to you?"

Yan Lingji reached out and brushed her hair behind her ear, looking around.

After looking around for a while, Yan Lingji looked away. Even she had to admit that the place was beautiful, which made her feel surprisingly good.

"You seem to know who I am?"

The boy didn't look up, continuing to carefully polish the peach branch in his hands. At this moment, the peach branch was beginning to take shape, resembling a sword.

"Your arrival came much earlier than I expected, but I don't want you to go to the city and cause trouble now."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji was taken aback.

These words gave her a strange feeling, as if the boy knew she would appear a long time ago, but how could that be? Her arrival was just an accident, one that even she herself hadn't anticipated.

However, this did not stop her from continuing to speak. Yan Lingji turned her beautiful eyes and glanced at the boy, or more precisely, at the boy's arms.

"I'm very interested in something you possess, young master. If you're willing to make a deal with me, I can stay in the city for the next few days. What do you say?"

Her voice carried a hint of allure, like a delicate lilac tongue roaming over the body, sending a shiver down the spine of the listener.

But it didn't seem to work on the boy.

The boy frowned slightly, then said, "Oh, what is that??" Yan Lingji pointed to the boy's arms.

"I don't know what it is. I came here by instinct, and it seems to work for me, very effectively."

The boy paused, then said softly, "This thing is also very useful to me."

Yan Lingji stretched out her right hand, her five fingers gently waving in front of her chest, five flames leaping from her fingertips, her blue pupils reflecting a bright red color.

"Young master, would you mind giving it to me?"

Her charming voice, with its fiery passion, reached deep into people's hearts, seemingly able to arouse their most primal desires.

The boy frowned.

"Is this a Fire Charm Technique?"

Yan Lingji was taken aback, and her hand movements paused slightly. She was certain that this was the first time she had met this person, but the other party seemed to know her very well. Even her moves had not escaped the other party's eyes.

"Young master, what are you saying? I don't understand."

The boy raised his right hand again, the dagger slicing through the peach branch with a soft, tinkling sound. Ignoring the other's alluring voice, he replied softly, "I thought you were going to kill me for the treasure~"

Yan Lingji paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That is indeed a good suggestion."

Although she said that, Yan Lingji did not take any action. Her keen intuition was frantically warning her not to make a move, or the consequences would be dire.

This intuition had saved her life countless times in the wild, so she didn't take action at first, but instead came to negotiate in person.

"However, young master underestimates me. I am not a cold-blooded person. It is just an object. How could I possibly harm your life?"

The boy remained unmoved, casually picking up the wooden sword in his hand, hilt at the back and tip at the front. He then squinted one eye to examine whether the wooden sword was straight.

"Really?"

Seeing that the young man didn't seem to believe her, Yan Lingji's eyes flickered, and she continued with a smile, "At most, it will temporarily incapacitate you, after all, I want things, not your life."

The boy put down the wooden sword with satisfaction, then looked up at Yan Lingji who was standing there.

"I also have a deal to make, which I think the young lady will be interested in."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lingji felt a sudden sense of unease and instinctively took a step back.

But then, realizing what was happening, a hint of unease appeared on her face. The person in front of her was just a boy, so what did she have to be afraid of?

"Oh, I'd like to hear what your deal is, young master?"

The young man reached into his robes and took out a jade box. Yan Lingji's eyes narrowed, and her heart began to race. She had sensed this box earlier, which was why she had come here.

"Regarding the first transaction, I would like to ask you, young lady, not to go to Xinzheng for the next few days. As for the chips..."

Yan Lingji's lips curled into a slight smile. They say a man's words are deceitful, and this boy is certainly one to say one thing but mean another.
"You're going to give it to me??"

The boy glanced at the eager girl, a smile also curving his lips.

"No, I mean I can spare your life."

Yan Lingji was stunned and quite taken aback. If she hadn't misheard, the other party was saying that they would spare her life.
The boy took out a palm-sized object from the jade box, and a scorching heat quietly spread across the area of ​​about ten feet.

Yan Lingji's eyes suddenly became somewhat intense. She wasn't quite sure before, but now she was certain that this item was indeed useful to her. If she could have it, her fire control ability would definitely experience a qualitative leap.

Greed gradually took over her mind. This time, she didn't say much, but let her actions speak for themselves. With a flash of red light, two fire spirit hairpins pierced through the air and arrived.
