Chapter 405: 223
“Indeed, there are soul treasures within the Heavenly Dao Sect. I must find a way to retrieve them.”
An Yulan pondered slightly, her beautiful eyes looking at Xu Yuan with gratitude, “Junior Brother, thank you. Without you, I might not have learned of this news so quickly, nor prepared appropriate countermeasures.”
“If Senior Sister thinks there’s no way to repay me except with your hand in marriage, that’s really not necessary. You can just owe me a life debt in your next life.”
Before An Yulan could speak, Lin Qingque hastily interjected. She spread her arms like a hen protecting her food, eyeing her with a wary expression.
She had read these kinds of plots in many novels, and coupled with what An Yulan had said before entering about “extracting information no matter what Mo Xianxian did to him, he could do the same to her,” it was filled with suggestive meanings, making Lin Qingque unavoidably worried.
An Yulan shook her head with a smile, “Junior Sister, do you know in what situation those words are usually spoken?”
...
“What?”
Lin Qingque frowned slightly, looking at her, puzzled.
“Generally speaking, if the rescuer is a handsome young man, the response might be to offer marriage. If it’s an ugly man, then it would be repaying in the next life as a beast of burden,” Xu Yuan said leisurely.
“So in Junior Sister’s eyes, I’m categorized as the latter?”
“Ah?!”
Lin Qingque was startled, seemingly taken aback by this statement, but still stood firm between them, “In any case, it’s not acceptable.”
“Alright, don’t overthink it,” Xu Yuan said as he tousled her hair, “Didn’t you realize, Miss An was just teasing you?”
Even if An Yulan wanted, he dared not anymore.
Although the last Asura Field had been interrupted due to the news brought by An Yulan’s arrival, Xu Yuan was still nervous.
If it happened again, he couldn’t guarantee he could stop the madness among these clingy comrades. Without overwhelming cultivation to suppress everything, it was better to keep a low profile for the time being.
Seeing that he still refused to address her as Senior Sister, An Yulan sighed softly in her heart, but she made no demands.
After all, he hadn’t objected to her calling him Junior Brother, that was enough for her.
“Enough! Stop arguing!”
Xu Yuan’s expression turned serious.
Damn it, how come conflicts still arise even when there are only two people left?
This further solidified his resolve to not bring them both back home.
There could be a chance to placate Tian Liuli, but with these two stirring things up, everything might explode.
Xu Yuan looked at Lin Qingque, saying, “Junior Sister, don’t forget the promise you made to me before.”
Lin Qingque huffed twice, intending to say she only agreed because her Senior Brother was too tired at that time and she had been momentarily soft-hearted; it shouldn’t count.
But considering her last remark, she ultimately cowered. If Tian Liuli heard her words, she would surely first execute her, then Liu Ruoxue.
Swapping positions with someone who neither matched her in potential nor charm was definitely a losing deal.
After placating Lin Qingque, Xu Yuan turned his head toward Liu Ruoxue.
But she had already turned and left gracefully.
It seemed she had just wanted to be treated equally with Lin Qingque.
“Sigh, this is tough.”
Xu Yuan felt that there was still a long way to go before he could achieve a world where they all lived in harmony with each other, loving universally.
The waning lamp curled up, the candlelight flickering.
In the midst of the dark night, the quiet, cold courtyard had yet to sleep.
