Chapter 262: Chapter 260: So-Called Guardian
"Since you don’t want to stay in Cyan Mist Hall, for the next year, Yan Yu will accompany you and act as your... Guardian!"
Duanmu Hong’s words were reasonable enough, all for Qin Yu’s safety.
Besides, if this Flame Guard hadn’t shown up, most likely he would have had Luo Lizhu be Qin Yu’s Guardian.
Of course, after a year when this Flame Guard leaves, he could send Luo Lizhu to take over just the same.
"Thank you, Hall Master!"
Qin Yu naturally couldn’t refuse, so he could only bow and express his thanks.
Having another Guardian meant another layer of protection—actually, it was a good thing.
Duanmu Hong seemed like he wanted to say more, but in the end, he didn’t.
After all, the Flame Guard was watching.
As Qin Yu left the Main Hall, an extra person trailed behind him.
Luo Lizhu eyed the masked Flame Guard behind him and was clearly stunned.
Completely unfamiliar.
She couldn’t even sense the other’s cultivation, plus with the mask obscuring their looks, it made the person extremely mysterious.
But this person had actually come out of the Main Hall!
"Sister Luo."
Qin Yu chatted with her a bit before heading up his own mountain.
It wasn’t until Yan Yu followed him inside the house that he realized the seriousness of the matter.
If he wanted to help his lovely wives improve their Root Bone in the future, would this Guardian just stand there and watch the whole time?!
How the heck was that going to work?
"Can I call you Yan Yu?"
The Flame Guard nodded lightly.
She clearly wasn’t used to talking to outsiders—especially when the other was a man.
You had to know, in the Imperial Palace, the only people around her were a few sisters of similar age.
Unless the Empress summoned her, she would never leave the palace easily.
"Yan Yu, you actually don’t have to follow me around all the time."
But since this Guardian was assigned by the Hall Master, Qin Yu could only try to persuade her nicely.
However, Yan Yu looked at him in confusion.
As a Guardian, wasn’t she supposed to follow him everywhere like a shadow?!
"I’m a man, and I have wives, you know..."
Qin Yu said it tactfully. Usually, that should be enough to make someone understand, but those eyes behind the mask still brimmed with bewilderment.
What does that have to do with me?
"I am your Guardian!"
To be honest, although her face was covered, her voice was really quite pleasant to hear.
Just as Qin Yu was about to explain, Liu Zixiao walked over.
"And this is?"
Liu Zixiao’s brows rose in confusion. How did Qin Yu go out and come back with such an extraordinary-looking woman?!
Although the woman hid her true face behind a mask, her heroic spirit was impossible to conceal—she was definitely not an ordinary cultivator at a glance.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, his tone casual: "Oh, she’s the Guardian that the Hall Master especially assigned for me."
With that, he naturally wrapped an arm around Liu Zixiao’s waist: "Master, look what your disciple brought back for you."
As he spoke, a cultivation technique glowing faintly appeared in his palm with a gentle flourish.
"This is..."
Liu Zixiao’s attention was immediately drawn, but with a stranger in the room, she felt a bit awkward and tried to push Qin Yu away.
"An Earth Tier, Middle Grade Cultivation Technique!"
But the moment she learned its rank, her eyes widened instantly.
This was an Earth Level technique!
If it appeared in the Yunlan Domain, the three Immortal Sects would probably fight to the death over it.
And Qin Yu just handed it to her so easily?!
At that moment, Liu Zixiao was both excited and deeply moved. Not caring about anyone else anymore, she threw her arms around Qin Yu’s neck, went on tiptoes, and gave him her own...
[Liu Zixiao Romantic Point: 60 (deeply affectionate)]
Seeing his cool beauty master’s Romantic Point increase, Qin Yu’s smile grew even wider.
For a long moment.
The two finally let go, both a little out of breath.
Liu Zixiao, regaining her composure, said, "This technique, you’d better keep it for yourself."
This showed that her heart was now completely with Qin Yu!
Let alone Yunlan Domain—even in all ten regions of Cyan Mist Hall, what cultivator could resist an Earth Tier, Middle Grade Cultivation Technique?!
"I don’t need it."
Qin Yu didn’t explain much further.
Giving this cultivation technique to Liu Zixiao wasn’t just to move her emotionally.
This cool beauty master was already close to Golden Core Peak and might be the first among his lovely wives to break through to the Lotus Platform stage.
So Liu Zixiao was the one who needed it most.
As for the little immortal wife and the little demoness...when they reach Golden Core Peak, he could always do something for the Hall Master to get another technique then.
Isn’t he the only one who comprehended the Star Prison Array?
Going out and swapping for a technique wasn’t going too far, was it?!
You could say it was killing two birds with one stone.
He could also earn a ton of Flame Points.
Speaking of Flame Points, Qin Yu could already improve his Root Bone. He’d originally planned to do it after coming back, but he just hadn’t parted from Liu Zixiao yet...
Then he’d been called to see the Hall Master and got delayed until now.
But there was no rush.
Flame Points weren’t going anywhere.
His mood had been set up perfectly, and he was just about to pick up his beautiful teacher...
Only to suddenly remember that masked Guardian.
Awkward.
Even though this Guardian was a woman, he couldn’t exactly... go wild with his master right in front of her, could he?!
Qin Yu thought this Guardian might be a bit... stubborn.
So he tried more earnestly to persuade, "Yan Yu, as a Guardian, you don’t need to stay in the same room with me, right?"
What he said was actually pretty reasonable.
A Guardian only needed to keep him safe—so long as he was within her sensing range, if Qin Yu was under any threat, she could respond instantly.
"How about you stay next door?"
Qin Yu asked tentatively. Yan Yu nodded and went to the next room.
This finally let him breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn’t realize that, even in the next room, nothing could block Yan Yu’s perception of what was going on inside.
In special circumstances, Yan Yu wouldn’t let the person she was supposed to protect out of her sensory range. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have obediently gone next door.
Yan Yu had barely left when Qin Yu scooped up Liu Zixiao. By the time they reached the bed, they’d already changed into new clothes.
Soon, strange noises came from the room.
Although the Flame Guard had gone next door, everything in the room remained within her sensory perception.
But as the atmosphere inside got stranger and stranger, Yan Yu’s brow furrowed slightly under her mask, a question arising in her mind.
"Just what are they... doing?"
As a Personal Guard of the Empress, she’d been selected into the palace at a young age. Loyalty to the Empress was embedded in her soul as her fundamental commandment.
Normally, aside from cultivation, she also had to receive many other kinds of training—so naturally, she never had the chance or time to learn about matters between men and women.
In short, she was totally clueless in this area.
Maybe, when the Empress assigned her as Qin Yu’s Guardian, she hadn’t even considered this aspect at all.
After all, considering Qin Yu’s bone age, he should still be focused on power advancement, and practicing Spiritual Power—how would he possibly waste time on anything else?!
