The Forbidden Path to Immortality - Chapter 57

Chapter 5: Disaster

The North Sea’s Never-Sleeping City, along with the Thousand Sails City of the Sky Star Sea, the Great Thousand Lights City of the Far West Han Sea, and the most mysterious, the Dark Bright City of the Mysterious Sea, are collectively known as the “Four Seas and Four Cities.” These

are four magnificent structures rarely seen in the Tongxuan Realm. All of the city’s buildings are constructed from a uniquely polar region, the Snow Gold Sulfur Stone. This stone is pure black, yet its surface is speckled with countless tiny white-gold specks. When illuminated by

light, it resembles snow shimmering in the night, a breathtaking sight. In this land of eternal daylight, this vast city, stretching hundreds of miles, becomes a truly miraculous sight under the sunlight.

The term “Never-Sleeping City” refers to the towering walls, each ten feet high, enclosing an area at least as vast as five Songjing cities.

Within this vast urban area, there are only a few buildings, estimated at no more than seven or eight hundred, a pitifully small number for such a large city.

Yet, between each building, dense forests, flowing water, and exotic flowers and plants flourish, thriving within the city’s barrier, shielded from the cold outside.

The City That Never Sleeps is divided into two parts, the Inner City, the central, where the sect’s disciples reside on weekdays. In its very center stands a palace-like building, the “Guangji Main Hall,” the city’s nighttime hub. Its grandeur far surpasses that of the mortal realm.

After a brief tour of the city, Li Xun and his group of outsiders were assigned to the Inner City residence.

Excusing exhaustion from the journey, Li Xun retreated to his quiet room, finally free from the intrusive gaze.

Freed from this pressure, Li Xun felt a sense of relief, yet his heart grew heavier. He had never imagined such trouble would arise in this city that he had never visited in his eight lifetimes.

He sat down in his quiet room, motionless, but his mood gradually grew irritable. The gaze from the darkness, like a silent ghost, seeped through the air and into his heart.

Li Xun even considered summoning two puppets, seeking a sense of security.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door.

Without a second thought, Li Xun called out, “Come in!” Suddenly, something felt wrong—what if it was that “ghost”? The thought tensed his muscles, and just as he was about to change his words, the door was already pushed open.

“Junior Brother Xun?”

Li Xun quickly relaxed his tense muscles, returning to his usual reserved and shy demeanor. He greeted her softly, “Senior Sister Qi.”

Even as he greeted her, a sense of strangeness welled up within him.

While, in a sense, he and Qi Bi were true friends, sharing a common bond through thick and thin, and one of the few disciples in the Mingxin Sword Sect with whom he had a close relationship,

for some unspoken reason, he had kept his distance from Qi Bi since returning to the mountain.

It wasn’t just him; Qi Bi felt the same way. Otherwise, given Zhiguan Peak’s small size, and the fact that they were two fellow disciples living there, neither of them engaged in seclusion, they’d only seen each other once or twice in months, and with only a nod of greeting, it was unusual.

Qi Bi now looked different from two years ago. Back then, she was a young woman lost in love

. While she possessed the demeanor of a senior sister and knew how to care for others, she still held a certain immaturity in her ways.

Now, her every gesture revealed a fully formed woman. She had gained a bit more weight, and her makeup was far more refined than before.

All of this blended into her gentle and warm demeanor, exuding a sense of mature womanhood.

In some ways, she was closer to someone Li Xun was familiar with—people like Yin Sanren and Madam Yan!

However, there was another difference: the look she gave him. Li Xun was momentarily startled. It wasn’t anything else, but rather a hint of pity, something more subtle.

Qi Bi walked over to him, knelt down, and said gently, “Junior Brother Xun, I heard you weren’t feeling well.”

As a senior sister, it was natural for her to show concern and care for her younger brother, but this reason sounded rather abrupt.

Li Xun’s mind raced, and a thought suddenly struck him. He hesitated and responded vaguely, then his face showed a dejected look and he sighed almost inaudibly.

Qi Bi frowned slightly, stretched out her hand and touched Li Xun’s forehead.

Li Xun was startled by her action, but seeing her as if it was a matter of course, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Could it be that a married woman’s maternal instinct suddenly increased so much?

Li Xun had seen women more beautiful than Qi Bi, but for some reason, his face turned red when he was touched by Qi Bi’s palm.

Perhaps it was because married women were more sensitive, Qi Bi also noticed the change in his expression, but her reaction was beyond Li Xun’s expectations.

She just blushed, stretched out her hand and patted Li Xun’s forehead, smiled and said: “Little brat, you are so tender-skinned!”

I’m not a little brat! Li Xun thought about it, and finally swallowed these true and somewhat embarrassing words into his stomach.

He didn’t say anything, simply making the gestures that best suited his current personality. He smiled awkwardly and moved back, beads of sweat even seeping out of his forehead.

After completing these gestures, he spoke with some difficulty, “Senior Sister Qi, it’s actually nothing. I just feel a little weird…”

Seeing the change in Qi Bi’s expression, he knew something was wrong and hurriedly added, “Ever since I got here, I’ve felt completely drained. I don’t want to go out or talk. I feel so weighed down!”

He said all this nonsense, but to Qi Bi, who was also worried, it sounded different.

As expected, Qi Bi sighed softly, and the light on her face dimmed. Under Li Xun’s covert observation, she smiled bitterly, “I know, it’s because of the demon phoenix!”

Li Xun widened his eyes slightly, and this detail, in Qi Bi’s eyes, meant “admission.”

She shook her head slightly, her tone becoming increasingly bitter. “Junior Brother Xun, you’ve been avoiding me these past few months… No need to shake your head. I understand what you’re thinking. I can’t help it either.”

Qi Bi was clearly having a hard time calming down, and Li Xun was the perfect person to confide in. In Qi Bi’s eyes, only Li Xun, who had been through the same thing as her, could truly understand her.

So, after she began, she couldn’t stop.

“I know what you’re afraid of. You’re afraid of what happened on Tiandu Peak. You’re afraid I’ll laugh at you because of it, right?”

Seeing Li Xun’s face struggle, and then nodding with difficulty, Qi Bi smiled bitterly. “How could that be?

Actually, I’m really scared! I’ve never seen anyone as terrifying as Yao Feng…”

She was completely unaware of her slip of the tongue, and after a pause, she couldn’t help but continue.

Her voice was trembling.

“At that time, I was chained to the mountain wall and couldn’t use any strength in my body, but I heard the voice of the demon phoenix. I don’t know why. My ears were full of buzzing noises, but why could I hear her words so clearly! Later I realized that she must have forced me to listen!”

The blood color on Qi Bi’s face gradually disappeared and became extremely pale.

“I also heard Junior Sister Qi’s cries up there, and I also heard you, Junior Brother Xun… At that time, I wanted to cry too, but I couldn’t even make a sound!”

Li Xun saw that she was already shaking, and if she hadn’t been supported by a hand, she might have collapsed to the ground. He felt an idea and reached out and pressed on the back of her hand.

Qi Bi didn’t refuse, and her body shaking actually eased a little. Li Xun knew that his bet was right.

Qi Bi even looked at him gratefully, and then said: “When I was captured by the demon phoenix, I had no idea what I was thinking. One moment it was ‘I don’t want to die’, the next moment it was ‘Let me die quickly’, and then what happened next…”

It was really hard to say that, so she could only be vague. But the more she did this, the deeper the depression in her heart became, and the more she spoke, the deeper her thoughts became.

“At that time, I thought I had gone crazy. I have never been able to forget that scene in the past two years! It would often suddenly jump out in the middle of the night, blood red, with ashes flying all over the sky, a burning maple forest, and that woman!

“And Yao Feng, she is here! As soon as I entered the polar region, I felt uncomfortable. I could even feel her breathing, looking at this place, and laughing! Just looking at that darkness, I couldn’t breathe at all…”

Having said this, she could no longer speak, and looked like she was out of her mind.

Li Xun tried to comfort her incoherently while quietly holding her hand. She felt her palm was cold, but under his action, there was no sign of resistance.

If Shan Zhi was here, Li Xun could already imagine what he would do. But Li Xun was not the kind of fool whose brain was obsessed with s*x. He was just faintly excited that he had seen through the weakness in Qi Bi’s heart. Then, he would do something…

Perhaps it was because of excessive emotional release, Qi Bi felt a little dizzy, and she instinctively circulated her true breath, which made her feel better.

At this moment, she realized that she had come to comfort Li Xun, but how could she have fallen into it?

Thinking about her incoherent words just now, she didn’t know what she had said.

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she felt a little embarrassed, and then she found that she was actually holding Li Xun’s hand tightly. Although Junior Brother Xun was still young, it was not good after all. She quickly took the opportunity to wipe her tears and pulled her hand back.

At this time, Li Xun raised her head pitifully, with tears in her eyes: “Senior Sister Qi, am I useless? But Yao Feng is really powerful…”

Qi Bi knew that Li Xun was in turmoil and couldn’t stand any stimulation. Think about it, although she was also in low spirits in the past two years, she still had her master and Wen Hai to take care of her. When she was afraid, there were people to comfort her. And how did this junior brother who was wandering outside survive?

As soon as this thought came to her mind, all the maternal kindness in her heart came out. She reached out her hand again, but this time she gently pressed Li Xun’s shoulder.

“Junior brother Xun, Yao Feng is one of the top ones in the world. It’s normal that we can’t match her. How can we say she is ‘useless’? It’s only natural that I was defeated by her…”

A light suddenly flashed through her mind: Yes, isn’t it only natural that I was defeated by such a peerless strong man?

In front of someone like Yao Feng, it’s normal for her to cry, feel fear, and despair. Isn’t it the most normal thing?

Then what is she still worried about? What is Junior Brother Xun worried about?

Yes, the strong prey on the weak, it

‘s the law of nature. Isn’t it ridiculous that she is so fussy and brooding over it? Not to mention that she hasn’t encountered Yao Feng yet, even if she did, after losing the fight, she would just accept her fate. Why bother looking for trouble here?

She didn’t realize at all that the idea in her mind was really unreasonable!

At least, this idea was greatly contrary to the teachings she had received in her daily life, but she insisted on… But she felt that this was the most natural thing!

This might be just a small detour, but she didn’t go around it after all. She followed this bend, turned to another direction, and slowly moved forward.

So, she really smiled, but she was a little impatient, she wanted to tell others about her new discovery.

At this moment, there was only Li Xun in front of her.

She turned her eyes hurriedly, but did not notice that there was a slight curve at the corner of Li Xun’s lips, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Xun sighed, stood up to see Qi Bi off, and watched her graceful figure walk out the door. Suddenly, an impulse surged up. He raised the palm that touched Qi Bi, sniffed it lightly in his nose, let the remaining fragrance on it penetrate into his lungs, smiled and shook his head.

“No wonder Shan Zhi did such a thing…”

The tricks he did to Qi Bi were not as insidious as the “guiding light” he used on Shan Zhi. It was just a deeper psychological suggestion.

He did not want to get anything from Qi Bi, nor did he have any intention of harming anyone. It was just that he could take this opportunity to get closer to Qi Bi and find a cover on the mountain in the future, so why not?

Even if it was his reward for “untying the knot” for Qi Bi…

He smiled bitterly, holding his head, and lay on the ground again.

He solved the trouble for Qi Bi, but his own troubles had just begun.

Could he be locked up in this quiet place ? Will he stay in the room until the “ghost” automatically lets him go?

Li Xun’s dream of seclusion was not realized after all, simply because there was a gap of thousands of kilometers on the Wanli Aurora Wall, and it was obviously impossible without anyone patrolling.

This matter is no longer the responsibility of a single sect in the Never-Sleeping City, but is shared by all the sects involved, taking turns to be responsible. It was

the turn of the Mingxin Sword Sect to be on duty that day.

As the sect that paid the most attention to this incident besides the Never-Sleeping City, the Mingxin Sword Sect sent a powerful lineup of sixteen people, including eight second-generation disciples.

The sixteen people were divided into four groups, namely two immortal masters with two disciples, who were responsible for different sections, and they could also be divided into groups in the middle . The sect should be more flexible and agile, and more efficient.

As a disciple who has only been in school for ten years and has only been practicing formally for three years, it can be said that it is a miracle that Li Xun was selected into the list of sixteen people.

On the other hand, he is simply a lucky man – he was assigned to the group with the heaviest smell of women: the leaders are the two immortal masters Mingji and Mingru, and among the disciples besides him, there is Qi Bi, who had just communicated with him a few days ago.

This group is very strange. In theory, the three strongest people are all women. If there is a fight, the first person to be taken care of will probably be the only male cultivator.

But there is no way Qi Bi was Ming Ru’s disciple, and Li Xun…he practiced the “Spiritual Resonance Technique.” Of the entire second-generation disciples, only Ming Ji could guide him. So, what was the difference between him and Ming Ji’s disciples?

After leaving the city, the four of them headed west along the beach.

The polar scenery was truly unique. From this side of the world, the sky and earth seemed a single color, stretching as far as the eye could see. The sunlight scattered by the ice and snow on the ground was a significant challenge to one’s vision.

Out at sea, within sight, no more than seventy or eighty miles from the coast, it was as if the unchanging light of aeons had suddenly collapsed, giving way to an equally unchanging darkness.

The shifting of light and darkness seemed utterly illogical, yet it nonetheless evoked a sense of the awe-inspiring power of nature.

Within this darkness lay the largest known expanse of polar permafrost in the North Sea, the Arctic Ice Field. This was also the location of the Arctic Yama Heaven, one of the Three Heavenly Caves of Tongxuan.

It was also home to the Miaohua Sect, the most powerful sect in the Tongxuan Realm.

From Li Xun’s vantage point, the thick darkness resembled a slumbering beast, its massive form rising and falling slightly with each breath. Watching it for a long time, it became more like a slowly ebbing and flowing black tide, possessing a breathtakingly oppressive force.

A mile from the coastline, at the angle formed by sunlight and darkness, Li Xun could barely discern a transparent barrier, shimmering like waves, stretched between sea and sky, reaching no end in sight.

This must be the infamous “Ten Thousand Miles of Aurora Wall.”

Legend has it that it possesses a self-generated barrier, blocking the sky and separating the earth, transforming the vital energy of heaven and earth into aurora magnetism, specifically designed to shatter all flying swords and magical weapons, while protecting the body’s true energy. It’s a rare treasure.

Just twenty days ago, Yao Feng, Gu Yin, and others jointly breached a thousand-mile-long

breach —perhaps even the severe injuries sustained by Master Tianzhi were partly due to a sense of grief over the destruction of the magical weapon.

The four quickly reached the breach in the Aurora Wall. From afar, long howls echoed from other groups. Ming Ji responded with a similar howl, signaling their arrival.

Li Xun looked up and saw that within the breach, the energy was expanding and contracting like a living being. A strange force was pulling at the energy, slowly repairing the breach.

Of course, at this rate, success wouldn’t be possible even in a thousand years, but this was the first time Li Xun had ever encountered such a self-healing barrier. Instantly, his curiosity piqued, he cast aside all his worries, eager to descend upon the Aurora Wall and study it.

Qi Bi at the side was amused. She walked over and coughed lightly, calling Li Xun back to his senses. Then she said with a smile, “This treasure can’t get away. Why are you so nervous, Junior Brother? Look, there are so many warning restrictions on the ground. I wonder how many of them are still intact. Why don’t our restriction master go and take a look?”

Looking at Qi Bi’s sweet smile, Li Xun knew that her knot in her heart had been completely untied, and this was what he wanted most.

He also smiled, touched his head, looked around, and estimated the shape of the gap.

“Senior Sister, you have made it difficult for me. With the interference of the Aurora Wall, the distribution of vitality within a radius of dozens of miles is very chaotic. Even if restrictions are set, it won’t be long before it is messed up.

“Hehe, the people who patrolled these days must have been very hard. There are a lot of false alarms from these warning things! “

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound behind him, and the sound spread far away. It was the warning ban that sounded.

But looking around for dozens of miles, there was no one in sight. Li Xun shrugged his shoulders, and seeing Qi Bi’s expression showing admiration, he knew that she was convinced.

For a man, it is also a great achievement to make a beauty convinced of him.

Li Xun was very happy, but he knew when to stop. He turned his gaze to his two uncles Mingji and Mingru not far away. “Seventh uncle, what are our arrangements for today?”

The two female cultivators looked at each other and smiled. Finally, Mingji said, “I don’t have any good ideas. Let’s go to the sea to guard. Although the warning sound is unreliable, we can only rely on it. Seventh sister, what do you think?” Mingru

nodded lightly and had no objection.

In the eyes of the disciples on the mountain, the immortal master Mingru is also a god-like figure. In terms of appearance alone, her features were soft and gentle, delicate and flawless, surpassing even Mingji. She favored skirts, her demeanor dignified, her spirit radiant like clouds.

She was nicknamed “Falling Cloud Sword,” and her clothing was often adorned with patterns of rosy clouds, making her a model for many female cultivators on the mountain.

She was stunningly beautiful and profoundly accomplished, but even more remarkable was her affable, gentle, and courteous disposition, a stark contrast to Mingji’s sharp, insightful, and often aggressive nature.

Only a master like her could raise a disciple like Qibi.

The two immortal masters had distinct personalities, yet their personal bond was exceptional, their minds connected. When they interacted, Mingji was the primary focus, Mingru the secondary, their sharpness and gentleness complementing each other perfectly.

Mingji’s words were essentially her own, and naturally, she held no objection. Just as

the four were about to soar on their swords, another voice reached their ears, this time from a much farther distance. While the four wondered if it was another false alarm, Mingji and Mingru were simultaneously startled,

having sensed the unusual surge of vital energy over there.

“Enemy!”

Mingji’s sword flashed, vanishing before his voice lingered.

Mingru frowned slightly, but calmly led his two disciples towards the area.

As they drew closer, the fluctuations in vital energy became so intense that even Li Xun could sense them. By this time, the battle was drawing to a close.

By the time Li Xun saw the enemy, Mingji’s sword energy had shattered them.

Three bodies lay on the ground, a sight that chilled Li Xun’s teeth. It had only been a short while, and all three were dead. Could Mingji’s cultivation be so formidable?

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he knew he was mistaken. If no one else was here, where did the vital energy fluctuations from the earlier fight come from?

Even as he was feeling ashamed, he sensed something. His gaze shifted to the sea beyond the Aurora Wall, where a figure was approaching, gliding gracefully across the waves.

In that split second, Li Xun’s eyes met that person’s, and there was

a “buzz” in his head. At that moment, his soul flew away!

What a beautiful and familiar face it was!

In that instant, everything in reality seemed to be thrown away, leaving only that face that was becoming more and more real and closer, as if time had reversed and he was instantly back to two years ago.

How did that face, empty and helpless in the face of death, overlap with this beautiful face in reality?

In a daze, he heard Mingji and the others greeting that person, and that person responded with a smile, but Li Xun only felt that the other person’s eyes were completely focused on his face, with a very strange meaning in it.

Li Xun felt a chill at the back of his head, and at that moment, he understood that the haunting eyes were actually for her!

Li Xun knew his expression must be horrible, but that didn’t matter anymore. He swallowed hard, listening to the strange gurgling in his throat. His mind was strangely silent.

His breathing, heartbeat, even the sounds of blood flowing, the subtle creaking of his pores, all clearly registered in his mind.

The very nature of the Huang Ting Golden Elixir began to shift, bit by bit. Within the unfathomable void, red and white auras intertwined and shone. The two immensely powerful puppets, sensing the impending bloodshed, began to emit a chilling, deathly aura.

“This chapter of my life is over… Huh?”

His perception, now tens of thousands of times more sensitive, suddenly registered that everyone’s gaze had shifted, or rather, that their gazes had shifted over his shoulder, looking behind him.

Then, he saw Qi Bi’s mouth slightly open, her eyes filled with terror.

Everything slowed down. He was marveling at the separation of Qi Bi’s red lips when a sharp, arrow-like shout pierced his ears—”Get down!”

Li Xun’s body moved faster than his thoughts. Even as Ming Ji finished speaking, he collapsed like a piece of rotten wood.

A chill ran down his back, followed by a searing pain. He instinctively took a breath, but the breath barely made it halfway into his stomach before alarm bells rang in his mind. He had no time to consider the situation. His waist and abdomen tensed, and he tumbled sideways.

As he rolled, a blinding flash of fire erupted from the ground. No matter how agile he was, the edge of the flames swept across half his face.

Pain, fear, shock, rage—a myriad of emotions surged through him, instantly shattering all his reserve. Even before he hit the ground, he let out a suppressed roar.

With a thud, Mingru’s longsword pierced the solid rock. When she pulled it out, the tip was blood-red, its blazing energy instantly evaporating the blood. As

soon as she succeeded, Mingji, not far away, withdrew his sword. Two well-hidden demons were fatally struck, but Li Xun was still injured.

And it was his face!

Somehow, the fire had something strange in it, but the pain from the wound was far beyond Li Xun’s understanding of burns.

And as the first wave of pain passed, another wave of indescribable tingling and itching erupted from the wound, burrowing deep into his bones. He couldn’t help but reach out to scratch, but his wrist was restrained before he reached in.

Li Xun growled, instinctively trying to break free.

“If you don’t want to be disfigured, don’t move!”

Mingji’s voice was harsher than ever, but Li Xun was still dazed by the fire poison that had invaded his body, and his mind seemed hazy.

He turned his hand and grabbed Mingji’s delicate hand. He gasped for breath and tried to speak, but his words choked in his throat, and he couldn’t utter a single word. His head was buzzing with anxiety, and the sounds outside were becoming muffled.

It seemed that the man spoke to Mingji, and Mingji responded. Li Xun’s heart was filled with fear, because at any moment, Mingji’s sword might pierce his chest!

His only comfort was Mingji’s warm, slender hand, which still showed no signs of strength.

At this moment, a cold hand was placed on the uninjured side of his face.

Strangely, as the coolness of the other hand penetrated his skin, the pain on the other side of his face subsided.

Li Xun’s frantic mood began to subside, and the sounds of the outside world began to enter again.

“…Fortunately, the poison didn’t hurt the bones. However, this Green Fire is very powerful and will continuously corrode new muscles. Although there are magical medicines to remove the poison, it will take more than a year and a half for it to fully heal. During this period, I’m afraid this person will really be disfigured.”

The familiar voice, as soft as water, but because of the calm tone and the lively variation at the end of the words, it completely presents two different flavors.

Just listening to this voice can corrode the bones and give people endless reverie.

Li Xun gritted his teeth and opened his eyes: Concubine Qin, Qin Wanru, are you not dead yet?

What he saw was the face that gave him countless pleasures and countless fears. She was elegant and weak, calm but gentle. No matter from which angle she was looked at, she had the charm that could make men in the world die for her. This became more and more obvious after she no longer concealed her abilities and demeanor.

Before opening his eyes, Li Xun even harbored a glimmer of hope. He hoped the woman before him wasn’t the one he’d encountered in the mortal realm, or perhaps the spell he’d planted

would still be effective two years later.

However, as their eyes met again, Li Xun finally gave up!

He didn’t know how Qin Wanru, who had already been confirmed dead, could be resurrected. The subtle glint in her eyes only hinted at one thing: “Young Imperial Master, long time no see!”

For some reason, Qin Wanru didn’t, as he’d imagined, send him to hell with mockery and sarcasm.

All he saw was gentle care and treatment. As the flesh-regenerating elixir spread evenly over the wound, the cool air almost obliterated all the pain. Even with Li Xun’s limited knowledge of medicinal elixirs, he knew the potency of the drug was astonishing.

Cat and mouse?

Li Xun’s mood grew colder and colder. His gaze seemed unfocused, yet he was always watching Qin Wanru’s every move. However, even after the treatment was over, Qin Wanru still showed no signs of harming him.

“Okay, the wound is almost healed. Just don’t scratch it until it heals…”

It was as if there was an invisible magic power. Li Xun felt a strange itch on the wound again. He couldn’t help but reach out, but just as he moved, Mingji pulled him back.

Qi Bi, who was standing by, saw this and was about to tear off her skirt to bandage Li Xun’s wound, but was stopped by Qin Wanru: “After all, the clothes are not smooth enough. Any friction will cause trouble.”

Qi Bi stopped and looked at the twitching muscles on Li Xun’s face, her pretty face full of regret.

Mingji frowned slightly and decided to go back to the city to bandage it. “

Qin Wanru raised her face, smiled slightly and said, “Let’s send him back to the city first. When we get back to the city, I have a pair of ‘Faceless Armor’ woven with deep-sea dragon beard needles, coated with a soft silver film on the outside, and padded with a layer of soft silk net on the inside. It is the best for protecting facial wounds.”

Mingji showed her magnanimous side at this time. She did not refuse, but thanked Qin Wanru, then lowered her head and said to Li Xun, “If you are a man, just bear with it! “

Then, Li Xun’s hand trembled slightly, and she pulled her hand back.

Li Xun felt quite disappointed at first, and then he realized that he seemed to have held it for too long, and he didn’t know how others would feel when they saw it.

His face turned red involuntarily, and he hurriedly lowered his head and responded. At this time, he felt that the numbness and itching on his face were not so severe.

However, the mask? Li Xun suddenly shuddered and glanced at Qin Wanru. She saw her eyes moving, seemingly looking at Mingji, but actually glancing here. Her eyes that could speak revealed a hint of a chill in Li Xun’s heart.

Mingji over there had already made a request to Qin Wanru.

“Fairy Qin, I’m afraid he can’t come with us today. We have to patrol the gap here and we can’t split ourselves. Can you ask Fairy Qin for help and send him back to recuperate? “

Mingru and Qibi’s expressions were moved. If Li Xun guessed correctly, they both knew Qin Wanru’s identity and were a little worried.

Li Xun lowered his head and was not surprised at Mingji’s words.

This was the fact. Being inseparable was certainly a reason, but on the other hand, Qin Wanru was treating his injuries and wanted to lend him the “Faceless Armor”. With such a no-holds-barred attitude, if they still had to be cautious, it would be too contemptuous of them.

Of course, it is also possible that Mingji did not think that Qin Wanru would have any other intentions towards Li Xun.

However, she did not see the undercurrent surging between the man and woman in front of her.
