Stay Away From Her

Chapter 83 Stay away from her

Only after the old man in black robes left and disappeared did Li Chuqiu breathe a deep sigh of relief.

As relieved.

That was truly incredibly dangerous!

Sure enough, when facing an old monster from the upper three realms, the difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and there was simply no chance of resistance.

If it weren't for the help of this Taoist priest in blue robes, Li Chuqiu would probably have really suffered a humiliating defeat tonight.

At that moment, as the old man in black robes departed, the figure in a blue Taoist robe on the rooftop slowly turned around, his cold gaze fixed on Li Chuqiu.

In the dim sky, the bright moonlight slowly shone, and Li Chuqiu finally saw the original appearance of the green Taoist robe.

Her long hair was loosely styled, revealing an extremely dignified and elegant face beneath her temples. Her skin was snow-white, and she never smiled. In particular, her almond-shaped eyes seemed to gleam with a strong light as they coldly stared at Li Chuqiu.

Very assertive!

With just one glance, Li Chuqiu discerned the personality of the woman in the Taoist robe before him—she was probably a high-ranking figure who had long held a position of power!

This formal Taoist robe accentuated her powerful aura. Yet, her stunningly beautiful face and the mature charm she exuded also added to her allure.

This is a senior who is very beautiful, mature and charming, but whose strength and realm are unfathomable.

At least from the surface, you can't tell her real age!

Faced with that cold, scrutinizing gaze, Li Chuqiu quickly lowered her eyes, cupped her hands, and said earnestly and respectfully, "Thank you for your help, senior!"

"If it weren't for your help tonight, senior, I would have likely perished at their hands. I will forever remember your great kindness!"

The man in the blue Taoist robe ignored Li Chuqiu's flattery and said in a neutral tone, "I had no intention of saving you, so there's no need for thanks."

His tone was indifferent and distant.

Li Chuqiu said, "But in the end, it was Senior who saved me tonight. This is a great kindness. If Senior ever needs my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Regardless, Li Chuqiu will always remember this life-saving grace.

"No need!"

Ye Qingwu remained indifferent, not taking it to heart.

"Oh, right, senior—"

Li Chuqiu seemed to realize something: "Senior, how did you recognize me?"

Last time during her affair in the human world, Li Chuqiu thought she had concealed her presence by wearing a mask, so why was she seen through so easily today?

"I just felt you looked familiar."

Ye Qingwu said calmly, glancing at a spot not far outside the courtyard.

Li Chuqiu followed the gaze and saw a white ball nestled there. She was immediately furious—"Well, I feed you so many rare and precious materials and spirit stones every day, and tonight you're so dangerous at this crucial moment. This heartless thing runs away so fast!"

He also realized that Xiaobai had exposed his identity.

"I see."

Just as Li Chuqiu was about to speak, Ye Qingwu glanced at him again: "Although he left tonight, he will definitely seek revenge on you in the future. You'd better watch yourself!"

With that, she leaped into the air, her Taoist robe billowing as she vanished from the spot.

They quickly disappeared without a trace.

Li Chuqiu was left standing on the rooftop, gazing in the direction where the other person had disappeared, filled with envy.

Is this the elegance of a powerful being in the upper three realms?

If he had such strength, how could he have suffered such humiliation tonight?

"Meow~"

I heard Xiaobai's barking.

Having just encountered danger and kept its distance, the little white cat now eagerly ran to Li Chuqiu's feet and rubbed against him affectionately after these two powerful beings from the Upper Three Realms had left.

"Go away, stop trying to be cute, I don't fall for that!"

Li Chuqiu leaped from the rooftop into the courtyard, arrived at the eaves and door, pushed the door open, and went inside.

Sure enough, someone had been in the room.

Someone also searched it!

It seems that before Li Chuqiu returned, Elder Yun had already sent people to search this place, but they couldn't find anything on Li Chuqiu, so they gave up!

Fortunately, Li Chuqiu had the foresight to hide the Purple Qi Returning to Origin Pill well in advance. Otherwise, if it had been found, she would have had no way to explain herself.

For now, the crisis is temporarily over!

Elder Yun found nothing and realized that Li Chuqiu's seventh-realm strength couldn't harm his spirit beast. Next, he naturally went back to investigate the demon race.

I just hope that Qianxie won't disappoint him.

The trouble has been temporarily diverted, but tonight's events have made Li Chuqiu feel increasingly anxious.

His inability to open his sea of ​​consciousness is a huge hidden danger.

Even if he is a genius and can kill enemies beyond his level, once he faces an enemy of a higher level, under the condition of absolute crushing of the enemy's level, even if his physical body is strong and his cultivation techniques and martial arts manuals are powerful, it will be of no use.

From the Blood Demon we encountered before, to Qian Xie, and now to Elder Yun tonight, each one is more powerful than the last, and each one is at a higher level than the last!

Having been unable to break through his current skill level, he was no longer able to play in such high-level matches.

It was late at night.

world"!

The dimly lit and empty inn was deserted.

Behind the counter, Aunt Yun was idly leaning over it, her waist curvaceous. One hand was lightly supporting her temple, while the other held a pen, occasionally gesturing and writing something on the table.

The surroundings were eerily silent.

Recently, Yuhua City has been very lively, but the human world has become much quieter.

With the death of Prince Jing's heir, martial law was declared throughout Yuhua City, and the human world was also significantly affected.

It's certainly relaxing, but it's also a bit boring.

"Shhh!"

Just then, there was a noise outside the door. Immediately afterwards, the door was pushed open.

A customer has come in?

Aunt Yun, who was leaning on the counter, was about to get up, but after glancing at the person who came in, she lazily lay back down.

"Why are you here again?"

Aunt Yun's voice was languid and tinged with a hint of mockery: "Judging from your attitude last time, I thought you weren't planning on coming."

In my line of sight, there was that green Taoist robe.

Her expression was aloof as she entered the inn. She glanced around, her gaze settling on Aunt Yun, and asked in a neutral tone, "Why are members of the Yun family in Yuhua City?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Yun paused slightly in her grip on the pen: "Who did you see?"

"I don't know him."

Ye Qingwu stared at her: "Was this your doing?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

Aunt Yun chuckled and said self-deprecatingly, "I am no longer a member of the Yun family, and everything concerning the Yun family has nothing to do with me."

Ye Qingwu remained silent, simply staring at her.

She is lying.

"Your intelligence network is extensive throughout the Great Xuan Dynasty; how could you not know that the Yun family resides in Yuhua City?"

"You're such a stickler for details, it's so pointless."

Aunt Yun sighed softly: "However, this really wasn't my doing."

Ye Qingwu remained silent.

"I don't know what they're up to, but there are indeed people from the Yun family in Yuhua City."

"Who?"

"There's a guy named Yun Wuchen who's very close to Prince Jing. He's a genius obsessed with alchemy, and his skills in alchemy are extremely high. However, his whereabouts are very mysterious; even I don't know where he's hiding."

At this point, Aunt Yun seemed to remember something: "You saw him?"

Ye Qingwu said calmly, "Tonight we encountered an old man in black robes who used the Cloud and Water Technique from your Yun family."

"Then it's most likely him."

Aunt Yun nodded: "Did you kill him?!"

Ye Qingwu remained silent.

That's such a pity.

Aunt Yun said with some regret, "If you kill him, then I'll owe you a favor."

Ye Qingwu said expressionlessly, "Yun Jiusi is probably still alive."

"What's the point of being alive?"

Aunt Yun said calmly, "Even if he were alive, he betrayed your Celestial Master's Mansion back then—would he dare to show his face now?"

Ye Qingwu remained silent.

Aunt Yun composed herself and glanced at her: "You came all this way tonight just to tell me this?"

Ye Qingwu asked coldly, "Is Xiao Changjin currently within Liangzhou's territory?!"

"This problem costs eight hundred spirit stones!"

Aunt Yun smiled enigmatically: "How do you plan to pay?"

Ye Qingwu stared coldly at her, while Aunt Yun remained motionless; the two seemed to be locked in a stalemate for a moment.

"I didn't bring any spirit stones!"

"Then let's not talk about it."

"you----"

Aunt Yun sighed softly: "It's a small business, I can't break this rule."

Ye Qingwu: "————"

She said coldly, "I'll give it to you next time."

"No, I don't offer credit here."

Aunt Yun shook her head in refusal, raising an eyebrow: "However, considering we've known each other for so many years, if you don't have spirit stones with you, there are other ways—"

Ye Qingwu remained silent, staring at him.

"Don't you have an apprentice in Yuhua City?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingwu coldly interrupted her: "If you dare to make a move on Xu'er, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"I haven't even said anything yet, don't get so agitated!"

Aunt Yun sighed, "I just wanted her to do me a small favor."

"Don't even think about it!"

Ye Qingwu refused without hesitation, her face icy cold, leaving no room for negotiation: "If any of you 'human beings' dare to lay a finger on her, I will uproot you all!"

Cold and fierce!

Food guarding!

A terrifying atmosphere permeated the inn. Aunt Yun rolled her eyes: "Fine, fine, fine, no fighting, you know how precious your precious disciple is now!"

Honestly, she gets all worked up whenever her apprentice is mentioned!

However, her apprentice is indeed quite enviable.

Just as the atmosphere inside the inn was becoming increasingly tense, the door was pushed open again, and a handsome young man wearing a black mask walked in.

As soon as I stepped inside, I saw this scene in my line of sight—Aunt Yun was still lazily sprawled out in front of the counter.

To be precise, it's placed on the table.

Not far in front of her stood a Taoist robe in green, exuding a chilling aura.

Li Chuqiu seemed to realize something, and suddenly stopped in her tracks: "Did I come at the wrong time?"

Are these two women about to start fighting?

The inn fell silent for a moment. Ye Qingwu turned his head and saw Li Chuqiu, dressed in black and wearing a veil, in his line of sight.

"Wow, what's going on tonight? All these are rare guests!"

Aunt Yun came to her senses and smiled slightly when she saw Li Chuqiu.

Seeing that things were not going well, Li Chuqiu hesitated whether she should retreat first and wait until the two of them finished fighting.

The man in the blue Taoist robe spoke coldly, "Do you have any spirit stones on you?"

"Spirit stones?"

Li Chuqiu was taken aback, then realized that the blue Taoist robe seemed to be lacking in spirit stones, and immediately asked, "How many does Senior want?"

"Eight hundred!"

"Eight hundred? Yes!"

A powerful being from the three realms above asked him for spirit stones; he had to accept such a favor.

Furthermore, Li Chuqiu had just been saved by this senior not long ago, so she naturally couldn't be stingy.

Li Chuqiu didn't have that many spirit stones on him, but he happened to have 10,000 spirit stones stored with Aunt Yun. So he looked up at Aunt Yun behind the counter and said, "Aunt Yun, give me 800 spirit stones for this senior."

Aunt Yun's smile froze.

—Although the spirit stones were stored with her by this kid, they were taken from her and then given to this woman.

What's causing this inexplicable unease?

However, despite her displeasure, Aunt Yun still managed a forced smile: "Is eight hundred enough?"

Li Chuqiu looked at Ye Qingwu beside her: "Senior, how much more do you need?"

Ye Qingwu stared at Aunt Yun: "Is Xiao Changjin within Liangzhou's borders?"

"yes."

Aunt Yun nodded: "He was seen in Liangzhou about half a month ago, but his whereabouts are currently unknown. I reckon he'll be coming to Yuhua City."

Xiao Changjin is the current leader of the Demon Clan Alliance!

Eighteen years ago, the battle in the Northern Region shattered the demon race. Afterwards, through continuous recuperation and integration, an alliance was formed within the demon race.

This Xiao Changjin is the current leader of the alliance!

This person has a mysterious background, and his strength and realm are unfathomable.

"Was he involved in the death of Prince Jing's heir?" Ye Qingwu asked again.

"I don't know about that. It might be possible, or it might not be—we haven't investigated this matter thoroughly either."

Ye Qingwu remained silent for a long while before saying coldly, "I need his exact whereabouts. Notify me immediately once you have them."

After saying that, Ye Qingwu turned around and looked at Li Chuqiu again: "I'll return the eight hundred spirit stones to you later!"

Li Chuqiu quickly replied, "No need. Senior saved my life earlier, so this is my way of expressing my gratitude."

"I didn't save you."

Ye Qingwu remained expressionless and insisted, "I'll pay you back later."

After saying that, she turned and left.

They quickly disappeared without a trace.

Li Chuqiu watched the aloof figure of the powerful being from the Upper Three Realms depart. When she turned back, she met Aunt Yun's meaningful, slightly jealous gaze: "Have you seen enough?"

"That's enough!"

Seeing the hostility in Aunt Yun's eyes, Li Chuqiu immediately spoke up.

"Yeah?"

Aunt Yun sneered, "Why do I feel like your eyes are practically glued to her?"

"That's absolutely not true."

"Then let me ask you, is she pretty?"

"Not as pretty as Aunt Yun."

"Oh!"

Aunt Yun sneered, "So, you're saying she's still pretty?"

Whether it looks good or not, isn't that obvious?

Li Chuqiu sighed: "Aunt Yun, if you want to cause me trouble, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"Giggle!"

Aunt Yun laughed, her laughter shaking her whole body, then she said in an increasingly meaningful tone, "Do you know who she is?"

"have no idea."

"She's someone you can't afford to mess with. She's dangerous, extremely dangerous—"

Aunt Yun gave him a deep look: "You'd better stay away from her, otherwise—"

"Don't blame me for not warning you!"
