The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like…

189.2 – Gone Missing

“Qilin…”

She suddenly heard a faint voice.

“Qilin… idiot, get up!”

As her consciousness was being roused, the voice became increasingly clearer.

It is a melodic voice, a familiar voice.

What’s… so heavy? Xue Qilin, who is still not fully awake, felt that there is something heavy on her abdomen, making it hard to breath.

While complaining “stop making noise…”, she tried to push the thing lying on her abdomen away.

As a result, her hands pressed against two soft masses.

What’s this? It’s warm and soft… She squeezed the two masses.

After hearing a short moan–

“Scoundrel, where are you touching!”

Slap!

A crisp and resounding sound stabbed her ears.

Someone slapped Xue Qilin. The burning pain from her cheek suddenly roused her awake.

“Which bastard hit me!”

When Xue Qilin opened her eyes, bright red eyes shimmering in the dark entered her eyes. A delicate face flushed red from anger and embarrassment is right in front of her.

Xue Qilin’s anger vanished into thin air after seeing this shockingly beautiful face. Her eyes are unnaturally drawn to the other party.

The moist, bright red lips, which are opening slightly and closing, give people the urge to assault them.

–can’t extricate herself.

If you keep a certain distance from her, you’ll be able to barely control yourself, but if you get so close to her that you can feel her breathing, Qi Qiqi’s overly beautiful face will daze your mind.

Unusual beauty is often a recipe for disaster.

Xue Qilin bit her tongue. The pain distracted her, allowing her to look away.

That’s a close call, I almost kissed… Xue Qilin suddenly had chills go down her spine.

Then, as she wanted to prop herself up, she found out that Qi Qiqi is sitting on her abdomen, her dazzling, fair thighs exposed from under a light red dress.

After taking another look out of instinct, Xue Qilin lay down helplessly.

“Little Seven, why did you hit me…”

As she frowned and protested, Xue Qilin rubbed her right cheek that was slapped. Although she can’t see the state of her cheek, but the burning sensation coming from her face told her that the place must be red.

“It’s your fault for fumbling!”

Qi Qiqi turned her head angrily.

“I was half-asleep, it’s not my fault!”

Xue Qilin rolled her eyes.

As for what she touched, she feels that it’s better not to look into it.

“Get down from me, you’re heavy!”

“How truly disagreeable! I’m not heavy!”

Despite what she said, Qi Qiqi obediently got down from Xue Qilin’s abdomen and got out of the bed.

Xue Qilin sat up slowly and scratched her head underneath messy hair.

What time is it… With this question in mind, Xue Qilin looked out the window, and then her entire face wrinkled.

“Dear Young Lady Seven, if I’m not mistaken, there is still a lot of time before dawn, right?”

“Um?” Qi Qiqi blinked, “It’s about four hours until sunrise.”

“…”

Great, in other words, it’s the first half of the wee hours. Xue Qilin stared silently at Qi Qiqi, until the other party mumbled “don’t look at me like that!”, and then said in a sarcastic and dissatisfied tone, “Hey, my dear Twenty One, you seem to be self aware! Look, aren’t you blushing!”

“Hey, what do you mean by that!”

Although Qi Qiqi is reluctant to admit that she’s in the wrong, but her face has become redder due to shame. It seems that she feels embarrassed for disturbing Xue Qilin.

“I know that disturbing others during their sleep is a bit… any, anyway, I’m sorry!”

As her eyes wandered around, Qi Qiqi apologized like a cat with a guilty conscience that was discovered by their owner pilfer food.

Should I say that she’s pure, or frank? Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Xue Qilin is no longer in the mood to bicker. More importantly, she is sleepy and doesn’t have the energy to tease the other party.

“So, why are you awake at this hour and what are you doing in my room?”

Qi Qiqi snapped out of it and yelled “ri, right!” in a panic.

“Gone! Gone!”

Seeing Qi Qiqi so anxious that she can’t even express herself properly, Xue Qilin rolled her eyes and sighed “what do I do with you”.

“Use your words… what’s gone? Is it your unmentionables, or your bowl?”

Qi Qiqi, who doesn’t seem to find the other party’s joke funny, glared at Xue Qilin, and then assumed an expression of worry and anxiety.

“It’s Qing’er! Qing’er is gone! She isn’t in her room!”

Little Qing? Xue Qilin frowned, and then stole a glance at Qi Qiqi with a queer look in her eyes, wondering how the other party discovered that Gong Tianqing is not in her room in the middle of the night.

“Didn’t she just go to the latrine?” Xue Qilin yawned and continued disapprovingly, “After all, everyone has to follow the call of nature…”

“No, it’s already been two hours!” Qi Qiqi paced back and forth impatiently, “How could she spend two hours in the latrine?”

“Maybe she has an upset stomach?”

“Impossible, I’ve already gone to the latrine!”

“Uh, you’ve already gone…”

Did she really go? Xue Qilin’s expression became increasingly weird.

“What’s with that expression!” Qi Qiqi exclaimed, dissatisfied, “Aren’t you worried about Qing’er?”

“No, I just think you worry too much… Little Qing is sensible. Maybe she just went to meet some disciple she knows, and then fell asleep at their place.”

“No, no, no!” Qi Qiqi uttered no three times and shook her head like a pellet drum, “She tells me everything, she would tell me is she wasn’t coming back to sleep!”

After she heard that, Xue Qilin also started to worry about Gong Tianqing’s whereabouts.

Having said that–

Gong Tianqing was present during dinner. Would a person go missing for no reason? However, in the Merak Temple, who could take Gong Tianqing away without alarming Xue Qilin? Xue Qilin still thinks Qi Qiqi is worrying too much.

“Let’s wait and see first! Worrying won’t change anything!”

“But–”

“How about this, if she’s still missing tomorrow, then we’ll think about what to do then, okay?”

Xue Qilin comforted in a soft voice.

“I’m just…”

Just as Qi Qiqi started talking, she suddenly changed her mind and closed her mouth. She rubbed the root of her nose, tired.

“Maybe I’m being paranoid…”

–I’m going back to my room.

Qi Qiqi lowered her head and murmured to herself. Then, without waiting for Xue Qilin’s response, she turned around and left the other party’s room, looking like a child who lost their beloved toy.

Outlined by moonlight, her back gives off a somewhat helpless feeling.

However, Xue Qilin, who missed the opportunity to stop her, could only watch Qi Qiqi’s back disappear behind the door.

Since then, Xue Qilin hasn’t seen Gong Tianqing again, that is until–
