Chapter 359 Willow Branch
"Ahem, where is Master Li Feng going?"
Just as Li Yue and Lin Chuan were about to leave the holy land, a figure blocked their way.
“Collecting herbs.”
Li Yue frowned slightly, and moved in front of Lin Chuan without leaving any trace, blocking him behind her.
"It's been a while since I've seen Elder Li so diligent."
Li Jun raised the corner of his mouth, his gaze passed over Li Yue's shoulder and landed directly on Lin Chuan's face, "Is this Elder Li's new disciple?"
"..."
The corners of Li Yue's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't say a word.
"Disciple Li Qianqian pays homage to the Holy Lord."
Lin Chuan pinched his throat and bowed slightly towards Li Jun.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this name is indeed quite 'Qian'. Master Li Feng has accepted a new disciple. It's a pity that my senior sister is not here, so I can't congratulate Master Li Feng in person."
Li Jun smacked his lips and suddenly changed the subject, "How about this, Master Li Feng, please give me a few ninth-grade pills. Consider it my congratulations on behalf of Senior Sister."
Li Yue: “…”
After a while.
"Qianqian, follow your master well and come back soon!"
Li Jun looked at the small porcelain bottle containing the seventh-grade elixir in his hand, shook it with satisfaction, and with a smile on his face, he shouted loudly in the direction where Lin Chuan left.
……
Luofeng City.
As a city close to the Qingluan Holy Land, this place is extremely lively. Even at night, the whole city is still brightly lit, just like daytime.
"Sister Li, did the Holy Lord recognize me?"
Lin Chuan let Li Yue lead the way as they struggled through the bustling streets.
"This is just a small disguise spell, not a way to change one's aura. Of course, the Holy Lord will be able to see through Qianqian's disguise at a glance."
Li Yue's eyes were filled with smiles, and she looked at Lin Chuan beside her with a teasing look. Lin Chuan had returned to his original appearance.
"..."
"It's over. I'm too embarrassed to go back to the Holy Land."
Lin Chuan's face instantly fell, and he looked as if he had lost all hope in life.
"It's okay, Qianqian. At least you're out, right?"
Li Yue blinked, but couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
"Yeah, it's finally out..."
Lin Chuan stopped, looked at Li Yue, and whispered, "Um, Sister Li, how about... you let me go first? I can walk on my own."
"That won't do. I promised Xu Hanyi to take good care of you. If you lose it, I can't bear the consequences."
Li Yue shook her head decisively and held Lin Chuan's hand tightly.
"But after all, men and women shouldn't touch each other, so Sister Li still needs to be careful."
Lin Chuan lowered his head slightly and scratched it a little embarrassedly, looking like he was genuinely considering Li Yue.
"..."
"Row!"
Li Yue glanced at Lin Chuan sideways, a faint sneer appearing on her face.
After a while.
"Sister Li, why don't you just hold my hand?"
Lin Chuan smiled widely and approached Li Yue in a flattering manner.
At this moment, a seemingly soft willow branch was wrapped around his wrist, and the other end of the branch was firmly held by Li Yue.
"Men and women shouldn't touch each other. As a woman, I naturally have to be more careful."
Li Yue raised the corners of her lips and smiled coldly.
"It's perfectly normal for an elder to hold the younger one's hand. It's okay."
Lin Chuan leaned forward slightly, looking sincere, trying to get Li Yue to change her mind.
"So you're calling me old?"
Li Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at Lin Chuan with a smile, and a dangerous arc appeared at the corner of her lips.
"..."
"No way, no way, Sister Li is young, beautiful, and has fair skin..."
Lin Chuan, who was talking incessantly, suddenly felt his wrist loosen. The willow branch that was binding him disappeared, and then, slender and soft fingers gently clasped his wrist.
"Keep praising us! Don't stop until you find a place to stay today, otherwise..."
"Sister Li is so beautiful that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of their chests and geese fall to the ground, and the moon and flowers are ashamed..."
……
Laicai Inn.
"Please come in, gentlemen. Would you like to stay overnight or just have a drink?"
The waiter smiled warmly and looked at Lin Chuan who was standing next to Li Yue.
"Open two..."
Just as Lin Chuan was about to speak, Li Yue's clear voice rang out first.
"A superior room, no need to look for it."
She looked calm and unhurried as she took out a silver note from her sleeve and gently placed it on the counter.
"Sister Li..."
Lin Chuan was about to protest when he suddenly felt a slight movement. Something slippery quietly wrapped around his wrist. He subconsciously looked down and saw that it was the willow branch that had wrapped around him again.
His heart tightened and he shut his mouth instantly, a trace of helplessness showing on his face. He secretly glanced at Li Yue, but saw that she looked indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
"Here are the room cards, gentlemen. Please take them. Do you need any guidance?"
The waiter respectfully handed a sign with the room number engraved on it to Li Yue with both hands.
"Need not."
Li Yue put away the wooden sign and pulled Lin Chuan, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, upstairs.
"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm used to seeing men bringing women to live with them, but this is the first time I've seen a woman bringing a man. I've never seen such a thing before."
The waiter looked at the backs of Lin Chuan and the other man, and felt an inexplicable sourness in his teeth.
……
Pushing open the door, the room was elegant and tidy. The light curtains swayed gently, the carved bed and bedding were smooth, and orchids bloomed quietly on the windowsill, filling the room with tranquility.
"Go and rest. We'll continue our journey tomorrow morning."
Li Yue pointed at the bed, then walked over and sat down on a stool.
"Sister Li, you should rest. I plan to continue practicing."
Lin Chuan shook his head, stepped forward, and sat down opposite Li Yue.
"up to you."
Li Yue didn't even raise her eyelids, her tone was casual and relaxed, she turned and walked towards the bed.
"Finally, there's a chance to escape..."
Lin Chuan looked at Li Yue lying on the bed, then looked at his empty wrist, feeling secretly delighted.
Time passed slowly, and Li Yue's even and steady breathing gradually came from the bed.
"It's time to go, thank you Sister Li..."
Lin Chuan left a letter and was about to get up, but for some reason, his reaction suddenly became slow, his eyelids became heavier, and finally, he fell asleep on the table.
"I knew you were dishonest."
Li Yue, who was originally breathing evenly and seemed to be sleeping soundly, raised her white wrist slightly.
In an instant, Lin Chuan was steadily lifted up by an invisible force and slowly floated towards the bed.
Li Yue gently tucked in the corners of Lin Chuan's quilt. Just as she was about to get up and leave, Lin Chuan suddenly grabbed the corner of her clothes.
"Xiao Linchuan, please listen to my explanation, I..."
Li Yue's delicate body trembled slightly, a blush quickly crept up her fair face, and her eyes were full of panic.
"Do not……"
Lin Chuan frowned, his voice a little unclear, as if he was resisting something.
"..."
"It turned out to be a nightmare..."
Li Yue let out a light breath, and her tense shoulders relaxed, feeling relieved.
Her gaze slowly fell on Lin Chuan's slightly wrinkled brows, as if being pulled by an invisible thread. Her fingers unconsciously lifted up and gently stroked the center of his furrowed brows.
"What kind of trouble is it that even Xu Hanyi can't solve..."
