Chapter 154 You're More Important
His breath seemed to linger in her nostrils, and Yun Fuzhao blinked, slightly increasing the distance between them.
He's a complete enchantress; it's easy to be bewitched when you talk to him.
"When you come back, I'll make it up to you properly, okay?"
Qi Huai seemed to be deep in thought. "What exactly is this compensation you're talking about?"
He didn't expect Yun Fuzhao, that blockhead, to come up with any compensation that suited his taste.
So before she could speak, he cut her off, saying, "How about I offer to compensate her?"
Yun Fuzhao had no objection, "Alright."
After seeing them off, Yun Fuzhao led the group back.
Yu Ze and she fell to the back of the line. He casually asked, "What did you just say to Qi Huai?"
"Ah, nothing."
Yun Fuzhao didn't think it was anything very important.
She is now thinking that she must quickly create a powerful ancestor to oversee them. Otherwise, although she may appear to be stronger than them on the surface, when things get serious, she will have to be wary of the powerful ancestor behind them.
Currently, among the Boundless Sword Sect, only her master has this possibility.
Yun Fuzhao was preoccupied with her own thoughts and naturally did not notice the obvious somber look in Yu Ze's eyes after hearing her words.
"Yun Fuzhao, why did you ask me to stay?"
"Because you are more..." unstable.
Yun Fuzhao stopped abruptly just as he was about to speak, nearly biting his own tongue.
Wow, really! Yun Fuzhao, you're incredibly bold to even say something like that. Aren't you afraid that Yu Ze will just swiftly slice you apart with a single stroke of his blade?
Yun Fuzhao looked up and, sure enough, saw Yu Ze's gloomy expression, like a thick, oppressive dark cloud. If she uttered a single wrong word, thunder and lightning would strike.
She swallowed hard and said earnestly and solemnly, "Because you are the most important person to me."
"..."
His dark eyes stared intently at her, as if trying to discern the truth or falsehood of her words from her gaze.
Yun Fuzhao felt uneasy under his gaze; it had been a long time since she had felt this way. Spending so much time with Yu Ze, she had almost forgotten that this guy was a ruthless monster who would devour people without spitting out the bones.
After a long while, just as Yun Fuzhao was about to flee from his deathly gaze, Yu Ze finally spoke: "You too."
"what?"
Yu Ze gave her a deep look, then said nothing more.
Yun Fuzhao went to find Zhen. He had been at the Wuyai Sword Sect for two days, and he hadn't seen Zhen leave the house much.
"Senior." Yun Fuzhao entered his palace, looked around but couldn't find him, so he went to the backyard and saw Zhen squatting by the pond feeding the fish.
This pond was specially built by Yun Fuzhao so that the old man could have his fill.
"Senior, why don't you go out for a walk? The Grand Elder and the others have been saying they want to meet you."
Zhen shook his head and quietly stared at the small fish swimming in the pond, wagging their tails.
Yun Fuzhao felt that he had become increasingly silent since coming to the Boundless Sword Sect. Was he not used to it?
Just as she was about to say something, a few words appeared on the surface of the pond: Does your sect have any talisman cultivators?
Yun Fuzhao's eyes lit up, but she shook her head. "No, our sect used to focus on swordsmanship. We've only started developing in all aspects in recent years."
Zhen: I can teach your sect's disciples the art of talismans.
"Being able to learn talisman techniques from a senior is a blessing our sect has accumulated over eight lifetimes." Yun Fuzhao could already foresee the envious glances from other sects.
Zhen: Don't be too happy yet, my talisman techniques are not something that just anyone can learn.
Zhen stood up and gestured: I have one more request.
"You say so, and I'll do my best to handle anything I can."
As if lost in memories, Zhen's expression was complex and sorrowful. He looked into the distance: I want to see my lover one last time, but I have searched for many years and have not been able to find out where she is.
Yun Fuzhao had heard Gong Yuhe mention that he had broken his vows for a woman. He hadn't gone into details, but Yun Fuzhao could guess the general idea.
The Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth must seal his heart and suppress his love. He and that woman fell in love, breaking the rules of the Hall of Rebirth. They were forcibly separated…
She had already imagined a dramatic, heart-wrenching love story in her mind.
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
Zhen paused for a moment, then looked at Yun Fuzhao with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.
Yun Fuzhao led him out to find a disciple, saying that the talismanic arts should be given to someone he felt a connection with.
"Who is that person next to the sect leader who is wrapped up so tightly?"
"Looks suspicious."
Yun Fuzhao sighed. He hadn't expected that Senior Zhen was a socially awkward person. His face was covered by a black cloth, revealing only a pair of weathered eyes.
In her world, banks would have to be extremely careful.
He wasn't like this even when he was on Peach Blossom Island.
However, Yun Fuzhao didn't force it; he let the child do whatever he wanted.
"this and that……"
Zhen randomly selected ten disciples.
The disciple who was called on looked completely bewildered.
"Sect Master, what business do you have with us?"
“Children,” Yun Fuzhao smiled mysteriously, “you’re going to have some good days ahead of you.”
The disciples looked at each other, not understanding what she meant.
"Senior, they're all in your hands now. Don't hold back."
Disciples: "..."
*
Lingyue Sect.
"Fox Lord, this way please, this way please."
Li Lan changed his aggressive attitude from before at the entrance of the Boundless Sword Sect. He walked beside Qi Huai with a bright and sunny smile.
The disciples of Lingyue Sect who were passing by stopped and stared at Qi Huai in disbelief.
"Holy crap! The Fox Lord of Qingqiu has come to our sect?!"
"Lingyue Sect has really made something of itself, managing to establish a connection with Qingqiu."
"Pah, pah, why are you boosting the morale of others and diminishing our own? Our Lingyue Sect is no worse than Qingqiu."
The disciples were buzzing with discussion, and many of the female disciples, upon seeing Qi Huai, burst into laughter.
Li Lan led him toward the main hall, saying, "Fox Lord, please feel free to make any requests. What the Boundless Sword Sect can provide, our sect can also provide, and even several times better."
Qi Huai's lips curved into a smile as he spoke, "Since the sect leader has said so, then I won't stand on ceremony. First of all, I have trouble sleeping; I can't sleep unless my bedding is made of Tianshan silkworm silk. Secondly, Qingqiu has abundant spiritual energy, and I must live in a high concentration of spiritual energy at all times..."
The smile on Li Lan's lips gradually straightened as he made his request.
After an incense stick had burned, Qi Huai stopped, his beautiful fox-like eyes looking at Li Gang, "Have you memorized everything?"
Li Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I've written it down, I've written it down."
Although he said this, he cursed Qi Huai in his heart. If he hadn't been after Qingqiu's alchemy skills, would the dignified Lingyue Sect have bothered to fawn over him like this?
"It's still early, why don't I have my son show the Fox Lord around the sect?"
Qi Huai raised an eyebrow. "Okay."
Li Lan quickly said to the disciples beside her, "Call your senior brother over."
"Yes."
Li Rui was currently blocking Xie Wan's path with several disciples.
"Xie Wan, you've really got guts, daring to talk to me like that?!"
Li Rui sneered, "You don't actually think you can rest easy just because you've latched onto Yun Fuzhao, do you? Let me tell you, without those men, Yun Fuzhao is nothing!"
They were all bewitched, acting like they'd lost their minds, eagerly crowding around Yun Fuzhao. They'd even fight over someone like him.
