Chapter 312: Tianming Pavilion Incident - Almost Too Late

No wonder this guardian deity has been slow to act even though he could clearly resume his practice and recover his skills as soon as he could by leaving his mortal body.

He even used Lu Yu's matter to test himself, and finally made an agreement to help him refine his body.

It seems that after all these years of getting along, the woman has long been more than just a human being that he is bound to protect under the contract, but also a family member.

Yun Qingqing looked at the glittering little beads in her hand, smiled slightly, and put it properly into the space.

Return to Tianming Pavilion.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw a pink little thing rushing towards her, crying, and then sticking to her thigh.

"Father Xi~~~!"

Yun Qingqing picked up the little beast and held it in her arms. Tongtong immediately buried her face in her neck and rubbed it hard.

"Ni is finally fat, Tongtong is so worried!!!"

Su Anrong rubbed his forehead and followed behind, saying speechlessly:

"I don't know how this little thing's nose grew. Just now, it shouted that it could smell the master's scent, and in the blink of an eye, it rushed out to greet you. I didn't expect it to be so accurate."

Yun Qingqing laughed, and carried Tongtong back to her own room. She asked the mother and daughter to sit down and served them some snacks before asking:

"Why are you here?"

"Father Xi, there is danger in Pingzhou!" Tongtong pouted and looked at her with a serious face.

Yun Qingqing was stunned, and then she heard Su Anrong also worriedly say:

"Tongtong has been restless for the past few days, insisting that Pingzhou is in danger and worried that something might happen to you there."

She carefully observed Yun Qingqing's expression and asked seriously:

"Is it true?"

Yun Qingqing hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully:

"There were some issues, but they have been resolved safely. You don't have to worry."

"But..." Tongtong pouted and wanted to say something, but Yun Qingqing pressed down her little head and rubbed it hard, so she finally shut up in a depressed mood.

The little bean puffed up his cheeks and thought for a while, then rubbed Yun Qingqing's arm and started to act coquettishly:

"Father Xi hasn't come to see Tongtong for a long time. Tongtong wants to have a fight with Father Xi tonight!"

Yun Qingqing thought for a moment, nodded and said with a smile:

"That's fine, but your mother must agree."

"Sometimes I feel that this child is closer to you, Master, than to me, his mother!"

Su Anrong joked that he had no objection. He chatted with Yun Qingqing for a while, then left Tongtong behind and prepared to go back.

When I walked to the door, I met Yan Haochu and his people coming to visit.

Yan Haochu looked at her in a daze, and immediately introduced a man behind him who looked like a scholar in his thirties to Yun Qingqing:

"This is the Minister of Justice I told you about earlier, Lord Cao Bo. Please continue your conversation. I will not disturb you for now."

Yun Qingqing smiled like an aunt:

"I'm worried about Miss Su going back alone, could you please send her off?"

"Of course it's no problem, leave it to me!" Yan Haochu was very happy, and turned to Su Anrong and said, "Come, Miss Su, I will take you back."

"Uncle Yan, please send Liangqin back safely~!" The little beast was also very happy and clapped his hands.

Su Anrong blushed and glanced at the master and disciple, then left Tianming Pavilion with Yan Haochu.

Minister Cao was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be introduced and left here without care just after entering the room.

However, from the conversation just now, he had already understood that the beautiful girl in front of him was the head of Tianming Pavilion, so he immediately saluted without caring about anything else.

"Master Qingyun, I am Cao Bo, honored to meet you."

Yun Qingqing's eyes fell on him for a moment, and suddenly frowned:

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Take me to your home right now."

"Ah?" Cao Bo was a little confused, "Master, what are you doing..."

"Your forehead is dark, and there are death lines on your marriage palace. You look like a widower! If you go back too late, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"...Okay, okay! Master, please follow me!" Cao Bo took a deep breath, quickly led the way and rushed home.

After walking a few steps outside, Yun Qingqing asked him how far his home was.

After asking, he found out that it would take half an hour to walk to that place normally. Yun Qingqing directly took out a talisman and slapped it on Cao Shi's chest.

He immediately felt his body lighten, his feet moving faster, and the scenery along the road quickly receded behind him, he didn't know how many times faster it was than usual.

Minister Cao was surprised, but he had no time to think about anything else at the moment and just hurried home.

Finally, in less than an incense stick of time, the two arrived at his house.

This was a courtyard with two entrances. As soon as Minister Cao entered the door, he rushed straight to the backyard and shouted:

"Aqin, Aqin!"

He couldn't find anyone inside or outside, and he shouted in panic:

"Baozhu, where's Baozhu? Where have all the people gone?"

A servant who looked like a janitor came running over upon hearing the noise:

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

"Where is the madam? Did she go out with Baozhu?" Minister Cao grabbed the servant's arm and asked anxiously.

"No, I haven't seen the Madam go out..." The servant was frightened by him and replied.

Yun Qingqing frowned and pinched her fingers, then said directly:

"Come with me."

She hurried to a well in the backyard and looked down. Sure enough, she could vaguely see a person floating in the deep water.

Minister Cao came over with a pale face and looked inside, but with the eyesight of an ordinary person, he could only see darkness. He said in fear:

"No, that's impossible... Qin can't be here..."

Before he finished speaking, the little girl next to him jumped into the well.

Minister Cao was startled and quickly asked the servant to bring a rope and a tinder. He then lay down at the mouth of the well and asked anxiously:

"Master, are you okay? Why are you doing this? Let's at least see it clearly first..."

He was at a loss when he heard a cold voice from below:

"Get out of the way."

Listening to this steady and confident voice, Minister Cao felt more at ease unconsciously and quickly stepped back.

The next moment, there was a "splash" sound, and then Yun Qingqing jumped out of the well holding someone, and landed steadily at the edge of the well, but her whole body was wet.

"Aqin!" Minister Cao recognized at a glance that the woman who was brought out was his first wife!

His face turned pale again and he rushed forward to pick her up, but Yun Qingqing pulled him back and pushed him aside.

Minister Cao, a grown man, subconsciously tried to break free from her hand, but he found that Master Qingyun was extremely strong and he could not shake her at all.

"Don't delay my rescue!"

Yun Qingqing said this and he finally came to his senses. He was extremely worried but still stepped aside obediently.

Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed with clarity. Seeing that the woman's pale soul was about to leave her body, she immediately took out a talisman and stuck it on her forehead to press the soul back into her body.

She pressed her fingers on several large acupuncture points on the woman's body, and finally pushed hard on her chest from the bottom to the top.

The woman straightened her body, spat out several large saliva, and started coughing violently.

"Her life is saved. Let's send her back to her room first." Yun Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and wiped the water off her face.

Minister Cao obeyed her orders immediately and sent someone to invite a doctor.

In the room, Madam Cao finally recovered and regained consciousness. Cao Bo immediately held her hand and said anxiously:

"Aqin, what happened? Why did you fall into the well?"

"……ah?"

Mrs. Cao looked at him in confusion.
