MTLNOVEL Chapter 409: 225, why are you here too?
Clouds scattered messily, creating a serene landscape.
Outside the charmingly vibrant city gate, a stream of light burst forth from within the city and soon gathered together.
"Has it arrived?"
Mo Xianxian and An Yulan seemed as though they had been waiting for quite some time.
"Miss An, Miss Mo."
Xu Yuan nodded towards them.
Behind An Yulan followed a woman in black, exuding a powerful aura of a Primordial Spirit.
Presumably, she was her protector.
By Mo Xianxian's side, there was no one else.
Xu Yuan wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. Read new chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
It was the tender care from Tian Liuli before his departure that nearly cost him his life.
In short, it frightened him.
"Junior brother, sorry."
An Yulan spoke, "I sought help from the sect, but there aren't many treasures available that can keep one conscious in the Secret Realm of the Heart, so..."
"It's alright, I was prepared."
Xu Yuan looked towards two streams of light that had stealthily followed him out of the city.
It was Lin Qingque and Liu Ruoxue from the house next door.
He had also asked Tian Liuli if she wanted to come.
If she were to assist him, his chances of success would indeed be much higher.
Regrettably, Tian Liuli wasn't the type to rush to help another woman desperately, knowing fully well what it entailed.
Even though this woman was his master in name.
That she had silently allowed him to go was already a difficult feat.
The absence of others was also partly due to this consideration.
As for Lin Qingque and Liu Ruoxue.
Xu Yuan could roughly guess Liu Ruoxue's thoughts.
Ultimately, she wasn't as extreme as the others and in her heart, she didn't feel that there was any connection between Mu Qianyan and him.
That's why she had come.
But for Lin Qingque, Xu Yuan was not too sure about her thoughts.
Since that incident, she had changed, as if she had become someone else, although on the surface she still appeared like the same Lin Qingque, but had transformed into something else.
No, to be precise, she had given him that feeling from a very long time ago.
It's just that the "her" of now was lurking within her own heart, and now, she surfaced while the superficial Lin Qingque sank down, that was all.
"Them?"
Confusion flickered in An Yulan's beautiful eyes, "Do they have Magical Treasures capable of protecting the soul?"
"Sort of, but not exactly for protecting."
Xu Yuan shook his head.
He chose not to disclose too much about Lin Qingque's Heart Dao secret technique and Heart Mirror.
Though An Yulan appeared very trustworthy, he wasn't accustomed to exposing others' secrets.
If Lin Qingque wanted to reveal it, she would do so herself.
"Senior brother~"
Upon seeing him, Lin Qingque's eyes immediately brightened.
She opened her arms, intending to leap towards him.
Xu Yuan coughed, "Junior sister, mind your behavior. Although we are fellow sect siblings, you should still be conscious of your actions in daily life, especially since I am engaged now."
Lin Qingque was stunned in place by his sudden remarks.
She blinked her clear and bewildered bright eyes, "Huh?"
What is senior brother talking about? Is he feverish?
Since when did he become such a paragon of virtue?
Only when she saw Mo Xianxian's gaze falling on the empty space beside Xu Yuan did she suddenly realize, turning her head to look.
The shimmering light played on the water surface.
A Magical Water Mirror, condensed by a spell, clung stubbornly at his side.
Through the rippling water, she could even see the other side where a graceful figure sat reading under the sunlight.
As if sensing her gaze, Tian Liuli looked up and sent a graceful and victorious smile in her direction.
Overbearingly triumphant!
Lin Qingque slowly clenched her fist, her teeth grinding quietly.
'This detestable guy!'
Mo Xianxian looked thoughtfully at this scene.
At this moment, the atmosphere became somewhat tense.
Everyone, under Tian Liuli's victoriously royal smile, felt overwhelmed.
Mo Xianxian's lips slightly parted, a seductive look flashing through her eyes.
Interesting.
The next moment, Xu Yuan's expression stiffened slightly as his eyes darted towards her.
Right into her anticipatory, waiting gaze.
'Exciting, isn't it?'
'What are you doing?'
'Imagining entwining with another woman secretly, yet in front of your own Dao Companion, isn't it thrilling?'
'What nonsense are you spouting? Stop being delusional!'
'Just admit it, is it thrilling or not?'
'Yes, it's... not thrilling at all!'
Xu Yuan suddenly felt a chill run through him, Lin Qingque was still beside him, thinking about such things in his heart, wasn't that courting death?
He was very grateful that his robe was wide enough, preventing others from noticing.
He was also grateful that he had suddenly realized what he was thinking midway through.
Otherwise, he couldn't bear to think of the consequences.
But it seemed a bit too late.
Upon seeing the cunning light that flickered through Lin Qingque's clever eyes, suddenly turning cold, Xu Yuan inexplicably felt a bit guilty.
"Senior brother~"
She drew out the tone long, her smile sweet as she looked at him.
Though she did not speak aloud, her voice already echoed in his heart.
"You wouldn't want your Dao Companion to know about this, would you?"
Xu Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Damn, despite all precautions, he still hadn't guarded against this.
"I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Don't you understand?"
Lin Qingque still maintained her original smile on the surface, but in his heart, she sighed softly,
