Chapter 265: Chapter 263: The Not-So-Bright Guardian
Although Yan Yu was clueless about this aspect, even upon witnessing such an event for the first time, she always felt something was stirring the still waters of her serene heart.
Perhaps it was the worry that she might speak carelessly in front of the Empress, uttering some shocking statements, or describing certain details...
Yan Zhi reminded her, "There is no need to discuss the details too thoroughly in front of Her Majesty concerning this matter."
She specifically meant those insignificant trivialities.
However, this cultivator indeed spent considerable time on... such matters.
Nonetheless, Her Majesty must be made aware.
"But, Sister Yan Zhi, haven’t you often warned us that when carrying out Her Majesty’s orders, no matter the size of the matter, we should report to Her Majesty comprehensively?"
Confusion was written all over Yan Yu’s face.
Her loyalty to the Empress was unquestionable, yet perhaps because of her age, her understanding of certain things remained somewhat...
Naive.
"I will go and seek instruction from Her Majesty, henceforth, you only need to report to me in detail each day!"
Yan Zhi sighed lightly, ultimately giving up on further persuasion.
It seemed, upon returning to the Imperial Capital, she would need to impart some other knowledge and understanding.
Within the Flame Guard, the youngest, Yan Yu, had the highest aptitude among several individuals.
But regarding affairs outside of cultivation, she seemed somewhat...
Hmm.
Unpolished.
Innocent.
Ignorant.
Huh?
...
The next day.
Qin Yu was ready to set off toward the Cyan Mountain Sect.
It was evident he was indeed eager to return home!
Though Cyan Mist Hall was nice, he felt little attachment.
Upon learning Qin Yu refused the Hall Master’s kind gesture for the Cyan Mountain Sect, Liu Zixiao was moved to the point of...
Utter confusion.
Luo Lizhu came out to bid farewell, whereas the Hall Master, Duanmu Hong, didn’t appear.
"Brother Qin, this was specially prepared for you by the Hall Master."
Luo Lizhu’s words were succinct yet filled with meaning, as she handed a storage ring to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu hesitated slightly but ultimately accepted this heartfelt gesture.
Then, he bowed deeply toward the Main Hall.
The Cloud Ship rushed off into the distance.
In the Main Hall, the old man only retracted his gaze after a long while.
Cloud Ship.
It was still Liu Zixiao’s small Cloud Ship.
The space was originally small, yet now accommodated another person.
Qin Yu and Liu Zixiao exchanged glances, gazing at Yan Yu sitting before them, uncertain of what to say for a moment.
In Cyan Mist Hall, this guardian could be asked to stay next door, but a Flying Ship couldn’t have her out on the bow, could it?!
Though she was a guardian, being designated by the Hall Master, respect was still due.
Qin Yu then took out the storage ring.
Spiritual Power surged in, and the next moment, his mind trembled slightly.
Inside, there were actually one thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!
This must be the old man’s savings, right?!
Along with what was given in the Secret Realm, hardly any was consumed, yet when Qin Yu returned them, the old man said he bestowed them to him.
Now, he could definitely be described as wealthy.
So many top-grade Spirit Stones, enough for all his beloved to use in medicated baths, right?!
Time to enhance their cultivation.
Next to those Spirit Stones floated five scrolls of cultivation technique.
"They are from the Myriad Volume Tower."
After sensing for a while, Qin Yu’s eyes flashed with amazement.
Though they were rubbings, available for one’s comprehension only, they were five Earth Level cultivation techniques!
Moreover, it was evident the old man bestowed them to every one of his Dao Companions.
Alright.
Seemed like one little demoness was overlooked.
But this couldn’t be blamed on the Hall Master, as Leng Ruyu’s affairs were never disclosed externally.
What virtue and capability do I have to be thus favored?
Qin Yu felt unsettled and could only consider helping the old man more in the future.
"What’s the matter?"
Liu Zixiao noticed his anomaly and asked.
Qin Yu said nothing, merely handing over the storage ring.
"This..."
Quickly, Liu Zixiao was astounded.
Though she was an Immortal Sect Elder herself, it was also the first time she saw so many top-grade Spirit Stones!
Not to mention those Earth Level cultivation techniques.
And five scrolls of them!
Why would the Hall Master be so generous to Qin Yu, could it be that he saved the Cyan Mist Hall or something?
This almost equated to giving Qin Yu the entire fortune.
She was initially hesitant about cultivating that Earth Level technique, but now there was no need for hesitation.
Everyone had a share.
Seemed like... not everyone.
Though Leng Ruyu was the Sect Leader, she was also Qin Yu’s woman.
And her good sister didn’t have one either.
Upon thinking of the Sect Leader, Liu Zixiao forgot about cultivation techniques and took out something, beginning to write and draw.
Why was it writing and drawing?
Because it wasn’t just text; it included illustrations.
She must give her good sister a little surprise someday.
She should really like it, right?!
Since it was something her heart had longed for in a story.
Qin Yu intended to take a peek at what she was doing, yet was glared away.
This content couldn’t be seen by this rebellious pupil!
It was inappropriate.
Soon, it was nighttime.
Although the light dimmed, Liu Zixiao hadn’t stopped yet, suddenly feeling a hand gently placed on her waist.
"Stop it, there’s someone here."
Liu Zixiao gently scolded, an accusation fleetingly passing through her eyes, as she swatted Qin Yu’s hand away.
This rebellious pupil couldn’t hold it in?!
Though indeed, she herself felt quite...
After all, upon returning to the Cyan Mountain Sect, it wouldn’t be as convenient.
Unless...
However, before her words fell, she felt herself becoming weightless, falling into Qin Yu’s arms, and the Cloud Ship halted.
"You..."
Liu Zixiao’s cheeks immediately tinged red.
"Hehe."
Qin Yu fondly clung to her, occasionally looking at his guardian.
He hoped through such actions, the guardian would realize the awkwardness and leave the cabin herself.
Clearly.
Qin Yu was destined to be disappointed.
Yan Yu only watched the scene before her, her heart unmoved.
As Sister Yan Zhi said.
This was nothing significant, akin to fish in water, deer in a forest, birds in the sky...
Her Dao Heart was as solid as a rock!
But what puzzled her was that, clearly, this woman was the mentor, so why would she allow her disciple to continually deceive her?!
Isn’t a mentor supposed to properly educate their disciple in such matters?
Or is it that this mentor wishes to educate her disciple, but, helplessly, the disciple hides lethal intent, overmatching her?
Just as Qin Yu wanted to force this guardian to withdraw through this manner, she saw her produce a long sword.
Halfway drawn.
Then she retracted it.
"For now, lend you this."
Considering, she handed over an armor piece to Liu Zixiao.
"???"
Qin Yu and Liu Zixiao were both bewildered.
Stunned on the spot.
What does this mean?
"This..."
Liu Zixiao was speechless, but Yan Yu explained, "This is a Profound Robe. Wearing this robe, even a Lotus Platform Cultivator cannot harm you."
("▔□▔)
Qin Yu sensed that his guardian seemed somewhat...
Not very smart.
