“You… You are not a profound beast?” In Yun Lintian’s bedroom, Mu Qiuxue stared at Yun Lintian for a long time and finally uttered a word. 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢
She could roughly guess something from the previous conversation between Huoyun Yurou and Yun Lintian. In her opinion, it was impossible for a half-human, half-beast to be a disciple of a human. Hence, the only possibility was that Yun Lintian’s current appearance was his disguise.
“As expected from Snow Maiden Mu. Your head is pretty quick.” Yun Lintian admitted generously. “Indeed, I’m not what you see right now.”
Mu Qiuxue seemed to be relieved for some reason after knowing this.
“Before we continue, let me unseal your profound strength first. Lie down on the bed.” Yun Lintian said as he took a set of silver needles out.
Mu Qiuxue nodded and lay on the bed obediently. Her eyes filled with curiosity, looking at Yun Lintian. One had to know that unsealing a seal created by a powerful individual was extremely difficult, but Yun Lintian was brimming with confidence, as though it was a matter of flipping hands for him.
Yun Lintian let Linlin go to the side first, and he picked several silver needles up. His pupils turned golden as his hand swiftly moved. Instantly, all the silver needles were pinned down on Mu Qiuxue’s Profound Entrances effortlessly.
Mu Qiuxue’s eyes wide opened in astonishment. She had roamed to many places on the Central Continent and met countless talented spiritual doctors. She felt those people couldn’t even hold Yun Lintian’s shoes just by this movement of his alone… He wasn’t even twenty. Where did he get these skills from?
Yun Lintian was accustomed to this kind of expression already. Anyone who saw him showing his medical skills for the first time would have the same reaction. After all, his age didn’t seem to match the skills he possessed.
He quickly injected his profound energy into the needles and started breaking the seals that blocked her Profound Entrances one by one.
Mu Qiuxue started to feel the blockages that prevented her from circulating profound energy disappearing one by one. At the same time, her profound energy returned to her bit by bit. Even a person with a cold personality like her couldn’t help but get excited.
Yun Lintian spent half an hour to completely removing the seals in Mu Qiuxue’s body. He wiped the sweat out of his forehead and retrieved all the needles. “Don’t hurry to do a full circulation. Try to do a small circle first.”
Mu Qiuxue nodded gently and closed her eyes. She began to circulate her profound energy around the Origin Core. When the almost completely dried veins came into contact with profound energy current, they greedily absorbed all the profound energy and quickly repaired themselves.
Yun Lintian stared at Mu Qiuxue’s veins for a while and retracted his gaze after seeing no problem.
A while later, Mu Qiuxue opened her eyes with a flash of brilliant blue light. She slowly got up to a sitting posture and bowed her head to Yun Lintian. “Thank you for giving me a new life. I will do as you said.”
Yun Lintian smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. Perhaps you won’t have to stay with me for a year. It may be shorter.”
Mu Qiuxue shook her head. “Repaying the debts of gratitude is something I have to do. This is my principle. Since you want me to stay with you for a year, I will stay until then.”
“Well, in fact, I have another reason to help you.” Yun Lintian then began to explain how he used Mu Qiuxue’s name as his master.
After listening to Yun Lintian’s narration, Mu Qiuxue was amazed at how coincident it was.
“So, you’re saying Du Huanfeng has become your enemy now?” Mu Qiuxue digested the information.
“He tried to kill me a few times. You can think of it.” Yun Lintian replied casually.
“Since you can survive under his threat, it means your true strength isn’t low… However, Du Huanfeng isn’t someone you can deal with by your strength alone.” Mu Qiuxue said solemnly. She had experienced Du Huanfeng’s relentless means before. It was almost impossible to get rid of him.
“I am naturally aware of his background. But… I don’t care about it. As long as he dares to appear in front of me again, I will do everything to bring him down.” Yun Lintian said nonchalantly.
Mu Qiuxue went silent. She didn’t know where Yun Lintian’s confidence had come from, but she somehow believed he could do it.
“Let’s talk about the upcoming event.” Yun Lintian said further. “Du Huanfeng should have gotten the news of you already and probably on his way here. With Senior Huoyun around, he wouldn’t dare to act rashly. I believe he would wait until the convention ended.”
Mu Qiuxue nodded in agreement. Yun Lintian continued. “One thing that I am not sure of is I don’t know how the relationship between him and the Nine Profound Beast Palace is. Do you have any idea?”
Mu Qiuxue thought for a moment and replied. “When I escaped to this continent, he asked the Great Roc Clan and the Sky Qilin Clan to find me. I could safely avoid the Great Roc Clan’s pursuit but fell into the Sky Qilin Clan in the end. At first, I thought that they would send me to Du Huanfeng, but they actually kept me in secret, as you see.”
Yun Lintian frowned. “This is weird. Exchanging you with some benefits should be the most appropriate to go with. Why did they put you at such an unimportant auction?”
Mu Qiuxue’s brows involuntarily knitted together. She couldn’t think of any reason as well.
“Maybe they have long predicted that I would win the bid. So that Du Huanfeng would become my enemy. Borrowing a knife to kill someone? Except this, I couldn’t think of anything.” Yun Lintian said uncertainly.
Mu Qiuxue nodded thoughtfully and felt it was only the explanation that made sense.
“Well, it doesn’t matter now. In any case, we cannot avoid Du Huanfeng. You can take a rest first.” Yun Lintian didn’t feel like he wanted to continue. He stood up and walked out of the room with Linlin.
Mu Qiuxue watched Yun Lintian leave and lay on the bed, closing her eyes and falling into deep thoughts. Everything happened today was like a dream for her. She couldn’t help pinching her arm softly to ensure it wasn’t a dream.
