Chapter 368 I lied to you
Chapter 368 I lied to you
The next day.
Lin Chuan slowly awoke, a faint medicinal aroma lingering in his hazy nostrils, instantly clearing his foggy consciousness. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Li Yue sitting quietly by the windowsill, concentrating intently on the book in her hands.
"What are you looking at?"
Li Yue's slender fingers gently slid across the spine of the book and slowly closed it in her hand.
"This jade hairpin looks really good on Sister Li."
Lin Chuan forced a smile, but this smile pulled the wound, causing him to grimace in pain, and his facial expression instantly distorted.
"You deserve it. Let's see if you go to the brothel next time."
Li Yue spat softly, a faint blush appearing on her face.
"It's because a friend is in trouble, so I wanted to go over and help." Lin Chuan defended in a low voice.
"Help? I'm interested in suicide for love, right? I shouldn't have brought you out here. If anything happened to you in my hands, wouldn't Xu Hanyi hate me to death?"
Li Yue crossed her arms over her chest and leaned forward slightly, as if she wanted to vent all the dissatisfaction in her heart.
"This time, thanks to Sister Li, I'll go buy her..."
Lin Chuan endured the pain all over his body and slowly sat up. Just as he was about to say something, the moment he lowered his head, he suddenly realized that he was not wearing any clothes. In a panic, he quickly grabbed the quilt to cover himself tightly.
"I gave you a simple cleanup last night. Don't worry, in the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction between men and women."
Li Yue's profile was softly outlined by the light from the window, her expression was indifferent, but the slightly red tips of her ears betrayed her inner unrest at the moment.
"..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan nodded slightly and thought for a moment. He felt that Li Yue was right, so he stopped being shy and directly took out a set of clothes from the storage space and prepared to change into them.
"Are you going out?"
Li Yue turned her head slightly, withdrew her gaze from the window and fell on Lin Chuan, her eyebrows slightly frowned.
"Well, go buy some cakes for Sister Li."
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, a gentle smile on his face.
"Are you going to that brothel to see your lover? Don't worry, I gave her a bottle of elixir, she won't die."
Li Yue curled her lips, her tone full of obvious dissatisfaction.
"..."
"I still want to go out for a walk, Sister Li, do you want to come with me?"
Lin Chuan thought about it and asked tentatively.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Li Yue glanced at Lin Chuan who was about to lift the quilt, and her cheeks suddenly flushed. After saying this, she stood up in a panic, her steps hurried.
……
The streets of the capital were bustling with activity. Liyue and Linchuan walked side by side.
"This is spicy, you eat it."
"This tastes weird, you eat it."
"This is ugly, you eat it."
……
Li Yue was holding a variety of snacks in her hands, and whenever she found something that didn't suit her taste, she would just stuff it all into the hands of Lin Chuan who was beside her.
Before they knew it, they had walked all the way to the vicinity of Siqin Building.
"Are you really not going to go see your lover?"
Li Yue paused, stood still, and looked at Lin Chuan beside her with a hint of ridicule, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"She's just my friend, not my lover. Since Sister Li said she's fine, I'm relieved."
Lin Chuan looked helpless and shook his head slightly.
"A friend?" Li Yue smiled meaningfully and pointed towards Siqin Tower. "But she's secretly watching you from the window upstairs."
"..."
Lin Chuan subconsciously looked up and looked in the direction Li Yue pointed, but there was nothing there.
"I was just kidding you. Let's go back and have a good rest. We'll set out tomorrow to find the Flame Star Grass."
Li Yue waved her hand gently and walked towards the inn.
"it is good."
Lin Chuan responded softly, retracted his gaze, and quickly followed Li Yue.
Inside Siqin Building.
"Master Qiu, your injury hasn't healed yet, how can you walk around freely?"
Xue'er walked lightly to Qiu who was standing in front of the window with a concerned look on her face. She raised her head slightly, her eyes full of worry.
"I'm bored, so I'm looking at the scenery. As for you, have you been practicing well recently?"
Qiu turned his head slightly, withdrew his gaze from the window, and looked at Xue'er with a gentle smile on his lips.
"..."
Xue'er was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke:
"Is Master Qiu going back?"
She bit her lip, a hint of reluctance flashed in her eyes, she raised her eyes and looked at Qiu cautiously, and asked softly.
"Now that the things here have been resolved, if nothing unexpected happens, I will leave in half a year."
Qiu looked into the distance with a calm expression.
She turned around, looked at Xue'er, and said seriously, "The skills and resources I left for you are enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm. From now on, you will be responsible for all the affairs of this branch building."
"Yes."
Xue'er nodded slightly, her voice a little low.
……
The next morning.
After a whole night of breathing exercises, Lin Chuan's complexion had regained some of its rosiness, and his injuries had obviously improved by a lot.
At this moment, he followed Li Yue, and the two of them headed towards the volcano in the center of Fulong Kingdom.
"Sister Li, the day before yesterday I heard from that woman surnamed Liu that there are immortal ruins under this volcano. This natural disaster is a sign that the immortal ruins are about to be opened. Should we go and explore them when the time comes?"
Lin Chuan tilted his head slightly, looking at Li Yue beside him with a hint of curiosity and anticipation in his eyes.
"Immortal relics? How could there be immortal relics here?"
Li Yue frowned slightly, a look of surprise appeared on her face, and her steps paused slightly. She turned to look at Lin Chuan, her eyes full of confusion.
"Who knows?"
He put his hands behind his head, tilted his head slightly, and looked at the volcano in the distance that was emitting thick smoke.
"Let's find the Flame Star Grass first. The Immortal Cave is extremely dangerous. If the news is true, with your current level of cultivation and your injuries, it's best not to take any risks."
Li Yue nodded slightly, looking towards the direction of the volcano, as if wondering where the Flame Star Grass might be growing.
"it is good."
Lin Chuan nodded. After all, the danger of the immortal ruins last time was still vivid in his mind. Liyue refused to take him there, so there was no way he would take the risk alone.
After Li Yue found the most likely location for Flame Star Grass to grow, the two of them rushed in that direction and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.
"Can this light curtain be passed through?"
Lin Chuan looked at the light curtain that emitted soft green light and isolated the magma. His brows slightly frowned, and his eyes revealed a hint of doubt and worry.
"Give me your hand."
Li Yue tilted her head slightly, spread her palms, and waited quietly for Lin Chuan's response.
"it is good."
Lin Chuan extended his hand as he was told. The next second, a strong force suddenly came over him, and his center of gravity was unstable. He fell uncontrollably into Li Yue's arms.
The familiar aroma of medicine instantly lingered in his nose. Before he could recover from this sudden situation, he was thrown into an open space without lava.
"Hurry up and catch up."
At some point, Li Yue had passed him and was ahead.
She had her back to Lin Chuan. Perhaps it was because this volcanic area was too hot, or perhaps for some other reason, her face was now flushed.
