Chapter 169 No Debts Between Us

"Then wouldn't it be the same if you left with me now?" Han Wei asked.

Xu Lingyue didn't say anything. Actually, she felt that if she left now, her senior brother would think that she was deliberately not helping and would misunderstand her.

Han Wei saw through her thoughts, and finally sighed, "Alright, I'll help Liu Ruyan. You owe Huo Qing a debt of gratitude for saving your life, and I'll help you repay it. After that, you won't owe him anything anymore."

When Han Wei thought about Xu Lingyue's death in her past life, she considered killing Huo Qing and Liu Ruyan directly. However, she was afraid that one day Huo Qing would find out that she had killed her senior brother and turn against her. After all, in her eyes, her senior brother was a good senior brother who had not only taken care of her since childhood but had also saved her life.

In her past life, Xu Lingyue committed suicide because Huo Qing said he was blind and shouldn't have saved her. Besides being heartbroken and desperate, she also committed suicide so that she would no longer owe Huo Qing anything.

She helped Huo Qing repay his life-saving debt, thus severing their ties. This sealed the bond between Liu Ruyan and Huo Qing. Liu Ruyan was a wicked woman; even if she became more talented, she would only drag Huo Qing down. She refused to believe that the two of them could truly become a perfect couple.

Xu Lingyue stared at Han Wei in shock, then felt a mix of emotion and confusion. She asked, "Weiwei, Weiwei, why did you..."

She didn't understand, she didn't understand why Han Wei was so good to her. What did it have to do with Weiwei what she owed her senior brother? Why was she helping him pay it back?

"Why am I so good to you?" Han Wei said, "Maybe we knew each other in a past life, maybe we were good friends in a past life. I keep having the same dream, in which I dream about you, in which we went to many places together, and then you died."

Xu Lingyue looked at her in surprise.

Han Wei smiled at her: "Would you like to hear about my dream?"

Xu Lingyue nodded.

So Han Wei told her about her past life. After listening, Xu Lingyue was shocked and incredulous. She said in a trembling voice, "My...my parents are still alive, I still have my older brother and sister, they are all still alive, they are in the Spirit Realm, they are still looking for me..."

“That’s how it is in my dream.” Han Wei took her hand.

Xu Lingyue was overwhelmed with a tremendous shock; this was simply unbelievable.

“If you want to be sure, we can go to the Void Realm, to the territory of the Tai Shui Li Clan, and look for it. Then we’ll know everything,” Han Wei said.

Xu Lingyue nodded heavily.

As night fell, Huo Qing was gazing at the moon in his cave. Suddenly, a presence appeared behind him. Huo Qing was startled and whirled around, about to strike out with his palm, when he saw that the person behind him was someone he recognized.

A stunningly beautiful girl dressed in a purple gauze dress was seven steps away from him, slowly approaching him.

Huo Qing was shocked: "It's you."

He wondered to himself: When did she appear in my cave?

Han Wei's appearance was far too terrifying and bizarre. The cave was clearly surrounded by numerous protective barriers, yet she had already entered and appeared seven steps away from him before he noticed her. If she had any malicious intent and attacked him, he would likely be severely injured, if not killed.

Huo Qing instinctively became wary and was quite wary of Han Wei.

"Fellow Daoist Han, what brings you here so late at night?" Huo Qing asked coldly.

"Didn't you send A-Yue to find me?" Han Wei said.

Huo Qing looked at her, his guard down: "Fellow Daoist Han, what brings you here?"

"Fellow Daoist Huo is quite interesting. He has no manners at all when asking for help. I've already come all the way to your cave, and you still look at me with hostility." Han Wei sneered a few times.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qing immediately changed his attitude. With a wave of his hand, tea appeared on the table beside him. He said, "It was my fault for being so negligent. Fellow Daoist Han, please have a seat!"

Han Wei glanced coldly at the table and said in a cold voice, "Fine, forget about sitting. You want to help Liu Ruyan undergo a marrow cleansing and meridian transformation, a complete metamorphosis, and I can do that. However, I have conditions."

Upon hearing Han Wei's agreement, Huo Qing was overjoyed: "Fellow Daoist Han, please speak freely. I will go through fire and water for you."

"My condition is simple: never appear in front of A-Yue again. If you do run into her, take a detour," Han Wei said coldly.

This condition left Huo Qing completely stunned.

"Fellow Daoist Han, I want to ask why?" Huo Qing asked, puzzled.

“You are an obstacle, an obstacle to her. I am willing to help Liu Ruyan for only one purpose: to clear an obstacle for her future path of cultivation. She said you saved her life. If I help Liu Ruyan, there will be no debt of gratitude between you and A-Yue. You owe each other nothing,” Han Wei said.

Huo Qing's face darkened further: "Then what good will this do you?"

"This is my business, it's none of your concern. I'm just asking you, will you agree to my conditions?" Han Wei asked.

Huo Qing knew Liu Ruyan was the most important person to him, so he said, "I promise you."

"I swear on your Dao heart that I helped Liu Ruyan improve her aptitude, giving her the opportunity to reach the Great Ascension Stage, the Tribulation Stage, and even become an immortal in the future. But from now on, you and A-Yue will have no more debts to each other. You can never take the initiative to appear in front of her, and you must take a detour when you see her," Han Wei said coldly.

"Alright! I, Huo Qing, swear here that as long as Han Wei helps Ru Yan improve her aptitude so that she has a chance to become an immortal in the future, I will never again appear in front of Xu Lingyue on my own initiative. Even if I see her, I will avoid her. From now on, Xu Lingyue and I will have no more debts to each other. If I break this oath, may I die a horrible death!" Huo Qing said.

The oaths made by cultivators in the late Mahayana stage are bound by the rules of Heaven. As soon as Huo Qing made his oath, a mysterious change occurred in the world, and an invisible rule enveloped Huo Qing.

Han Wei nodded and said, "Bring Liu Ruyan over."

Huo Qing turned and left, and a while later brought Liu Ruyan there. Liu Ruyan looked excited, while Han Wei remained silent with a cold expression. Han Wei had Huo Qing prepare a secret room, and then led Liu Ruyan into it. Three days later, she and Liu Ruyan emerged together.

Liu Ruyan was overjoyed. Huo Qing scanned her with his divine sense and found that all the hidden dangers in her body had been eliminated. Her aptitude had also undergone a tremendous change, improving by several levels.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Han!" While Huo Qing was excited, he was also wary of Han Wei, thinking to himself: Could she really be the daughter of an immortal from the Upper Realm? He was interested in befriending her.

Han Wei didn't even look at him, turned around and disappeared in a long rainbow.

Huo Qing's face darkened again after being rebuffed, but seeing Liu Ruyan's charming face, he was overjoyed again. Now his parents would definitely not object anymore.

"Ruyan, how did she help you cleanse your marrow?" Huo Qing asked, very curious.

Liu Ruyan shook her head: "I...I don't know, I can't remember anything. After she took me into the secret room, it seems like a lot of things happened, but I don't remember any of them."

It was obvious that her memory had been erased, which wasn't surprising. Huo Qing held Liu Ruyan's hand and said, "Ruyan, no one can separate us now."
