Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 235 The Guardian Waits

Ziyan Mountain, inside the small courtyard.

Yue Qinghuan sat on a stone bench in the yard, leaning sideways against the stone table, with one hand supporting her forehead.

Viewed from the side, the stunning curves beneath the red skirt were faintly visible.

Her long, white legs were crossed and placed straight, her posture lazy yet elegant.

The beautiful face becomes more charming under the sunlight, as attractive as a fairy, and every frown and smile is captivating!

At this moment, her eyes were slightly closed, as if she was immersed in her own thoughts.

"rustle......"

The sound of light footsteps broke the tranquility of the courtyard.

Yue Qinghuan heard the voice, turned around and saw Li Qingyuan walking slowly towards her from outside.

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately stood up and walked towards him with light steps.

......

Li Qingyuan was slightly startled when he saw Yue Qinghuan's actions, then raised the corner of his mouth and said jokingly:

"Miss Yue, you're not going to sleep today?"

In the past two days, he could sense that Yue Qinghuan had been staying in the room and rarely went out. He didn't know what she was doing, so he asked this question.

Hearing this, Yue Qinghuan's smile deepened, and she said softly, "When you've slept enough, you'll wake up naturally."

"Well, you look much better indeed."

Li Qingyuan joked, "It seems I need to get more sleep, otherwise my face won't be so handsome anymore."

Yue Qinghuan rolled her eyes at him and said calmly, "Don't even think about it. You can't do this!"

"I can't? Who can't sleep? This isn't..."

Li Qingyuan was about to refute but was interrupted by Yue Qinghuan.

"Stop, let me get something serious done!"

Yue Qinghuan said seriously, "I'm going to retreat these few days to break through the realm, and I want you to protect me."

......

"Breakthrough realm?"

Li Qingyuan thought for a moment and then realized that Yue Qinghuan was going to break through the Tiangang realm.

He immediately smiled and said, "Then congratulations in advance, Miss Yue."

Then, he changed the subject, his tone slightly hesitant: "However, if I help protect the law, this matter..."

"What? You don't want to?" Yue Qinghuan asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, no, of course I am willing."

Li Qingyuan quickly waved his hands and explained, "It's just..."

As he spoke, he stared at Yue Qinghuan, hesitant to speak, with an embarrassment on his face.

"What exactly do you want to say? You're so hesitant." Yue Qinghuan frowned slightly, feeling a little impatient.

"Then I'll just say it straight out?"

Seeing Yue Qinghuan nod, he continued:

"Miss Yue, you also know that I was seriously injured a few days ago."

"This healing stuff was used up so quickly that there's very little left."

"Look..."

Yue Qinghuan kept frowning as she listened to him finish, and couldn't help but complain in her heart: This guy really doesn't do anything without a profit!

......

At this time, Li Qingyuan said again:

"Of course, if Miss Yue doesn't have anything to heal her wounds, she can use a favor to make up for it."

When Yue Qinghuan heard this, she immediately understood his intention.

The so-called healing items were just an excuse, the real purpose was to do a favor.

But this is definitely not possible, it is just a breakthrough in realm;

If I use a favor for this, it would be totally not worth it!

She blinked her peach blossom eyes a few times, and soon, an idea came to her mind.

Then, she smiled and said:

"That's not necessary. I have a lot of healing pills here, so I'll give you some."

As he spoke, Yue Qinghuan took out ten jade boxes from the space ring.

She opened one of the boxes.

I saw an emerald green pill inside, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that was refreshing.

Afterwards, Yue Qinghuan handed the ten jade boxes to Li Qingyuan and said:

"This is a deposit."

"After I break through, I will give you ten more!"

......

Li Qingyuan took the jade box and thought to himself:

As expected of a lady from the Treasure Pavilion, she is very generous!

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally see that these pills were extraordinary and worth a fortune.

He immediately put the pill into his pocket calmly and said with a smile:

"Miss Yue, please come into your room and retreat. I am willing to protect you."

Seeing this, Yue Qinghuan nodded in satisfaction and then walked towards her room.

As the door closed, Li Qingyuan finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He had long expected that Yue Qinghuan would not be willing to use a favor in return.

Therefore, deliberately mentioning the human feelings is just to create an illusion -

Let Yue Qinghuan mistakenly believe that his purpose was to do a favor.

In fact, he really cares about favors. After all, no one wants to owe others anything.

But at the moment, he is more concerned about recovering from his injuries, because the body is the capital of revolution!

......

Inside the room, Yue Qinghuan heard the voice, frowned slightly, and murmured:

"What is this guy laughing at? It's really inexplicable."

Then, she used the art of sound transmission and said to Li Qingyuan:

"Be quiet, I'm about to start."

"Okay!" Li Qingyuan responded.

Then, he sat down on the stone bench in the yard, took the healing pill that Yue Qinghuan had just given him, and began to practice healing.

Before that, while Li Qingyuan spent two days in the outside world recuperating for a month inside the Gate of Time, his injuries had recovered by nearly 20%.

At this moment, he closed his eyes, concentrated his energy and mind, and tried his best to refine the elixir.

......

Outside Zi Yan Mountain, the wind was howling and sand and rocks were flying.

The rolling dust surged wildly, covering the entire world in a dim light.

Two days have passed since the Tianwu Dynasty army arrived here.

In just two days, there was constant friction between the two major forces, and several conflicts of varying sizes broke out.

However, the elder-level figures of the Tiangang Realm on both sides never took action.

Only cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the Earthly Demon Realm can fight each other.

It seemed like a tacit understanding, and no one took it seriously.

This strange situation made the elders of Tianjian Sect full of confusion and frowns.

They sat together with serious expressions, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was suffocating.

"What the hell is the Tianwu Dynasty doing? Why hasn't it launched a general attack yet?"

An elder was the first to break the silence, his tone filled with anxiety and confusion.

"Yeah, their behavior is very abnormal."

Another elder echoed, "It always feels like they're waiting for something, but what exactly are they waiting for?"

Everyone was talking at once, expressing their opinions, but there was still no definite answer.

......

To this end, the elders of the Tianjian Sect held a special meeting to discuss this issue in depth.
