"Really? Senior Sister, are you telling the truth?" Xia Yuanba, who was originally panicking, heard Lan Xueruo's words, and his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted excitedly. It was as if he had suddenly grabbed a life-saving straw in despair.
“When has Senior Sister ever lied to you?” Lan Xueruo smiled and said, “Fortunately, Palace Master Qin didn’t hand you over right away, but bought you ten days. Otherwise, even if I had a way, I wouldn’t have made it in time.”
“Great!” Xia Yuanba’s face flushed red, and his excitement injured his internal organs, causing him to grimace in pain.
Yun Che looked at Lan Xueruo with surprise on his face for a long while, then smiled in an ambiguous way: "Senior Sister Xueruo, you are so nice to me, could it be that... you are attracted to me? Although I know that my appearance is perfect among men, and I also like Senior Sister Xueruo very much, but I am a family man after all, Senior Sister Xueruo, do you really not mind at all?"
“Why would I mind your head!” Lan Xueruo curled her lips in confusion, “I, Lan Xueruo, would not be interested in a younger brother who is younger than me and has a family! I will help you only because I am your senior sister and it just happens to be convenient.”
“Hmm, hmm, hmm!” Xia Yuanba nodded for a while and said sincerely: “Senior Sister Xueruo has always been this kind of person. No matter who she is, she is always very gentle and caring. When I first arrived at New Moon Xuanfu, I didn’t know anyone around me. Moreover, I was in the first class with low profound strength, and I was criticized and ridiculed a lot. It was Senior Sister Xueruo who took care of me a lot. Senior Sister Xueruo is the most gentle and kind person I have ever met.”
Every time Xia Yuanba mentioned Lan Xueruo, his eyes would sparkle, his face full of love and admiration, he almost regarded her as a perfect goddess, and Lan Xueruo did indeed have this kind of gentle and soft temperament, personality and charm.
“Of course.” Yun Che nodded in agreement. “Senior Sister Xueruo is so beautiful, she must be an angel from heaven, that’s why she is so gentle and kind… But, Senior Sister, do you really not consider people who are younger than you and have families? In fact, men who are younger and have families have many advantages that single uncles will never have, such as…”
“Within ten days, do you want to go back to Blue Wind Imperial City with me?” Lan Xueruo couldn’t bear to listen any longer, so she pretended to put on a stern face.
“Yes, yes, yes, yes! Of course!” Before Yun Che could answer, Xia Yuanba hurriedly nodded his head in agreement, fearing that Lan Xueruo would go back on his word. Originally, Xia Yuanba was deeply worried that Yun Che would not be able to escape this disaster, and Lan Xueruo’s proposal was like a surprise from heaven, and he had to seize it no matter what.
Yun Che thought about it and said cautiously, “Senior Sister, I am very grateful for your kindness. However, I might have offended the head of the Xiao Sect in this matter. If Senior Sister takes me away and they insist on pursuing the matter… I don’t want to implicate Senior Sister and her family.”
Lan Xueruo smiled and said, "You have a conscience and you still think about my sister. However, since I dare to help you escape from Xinyue City, I am sure that I will not bring trouble to myself. You can rest assured about this. I will not be so stupid as to joke about my own life and the lives of my relatives."
"Although the people of Xiao Sect have left, there must be someone watching outside the door. If you go out, you might fall into their hands immediately. So these days, you should stay in Xuanfu honestly and don't go anywhere. When my family comes, I will take you away immediately. When we arrive at Cangfeng Imperial City, it should be completely safe."
Lan Xueruo spoke with certainty and ease, and was obviously trying her best to reassure Yun Che. Yun Che did not hesitate any longer and said gratefully, "Then... Senior Sister, I will rely on you when the time comes. After I escape this disaster, I will definitely repay you for saving my life."
Lan Xueruo's lips curled slightly, and her eyebrows curved into two exquisite crescents: "If you want to repay Senior Sister, then stay here safely and protect your life. As long as you are alive, you will be able to repay her one day."
“Yes! I will listen to you, Senior Sister.” Yun Che nodded vigorously, then changed the subject and suddenly asked, “Senior Sister, um… do you have any profound beast’s profound elixir on you? A low-level one would be fine. If not, where in the mansion can I find one?”
"Xuan Dan? What do you want Xuan Dan for?" Lan Xueruo asked.
“Keep it secret for now. Could it be that Senior Sister really has it?” Looking at Lan Xueruo’s expression, Yun Che’s eyes lit up.
Lan Xueruo reached out and fumbled in the space ring on her slender fingers for a long time, and took out a dull round bead: "I only have a lowest-level sub-profound pill on me, which I got from a red-snake lizard some time ago. But Palace Master Qin should have a few true profound beasts' profound pills. If you need them, I'll go..."
“A sub-profound pill is enough.” Yun Che reached out and took the sub-profound pill from Lan Xueruo’s hand, and he was immediately determined.
Ordinary beasts do not have Xuandan. Starting from the sub-Xuan beasts, all adult Xuan beasts have Xuandan in their bodies, just like the Xuanmai core in the human body. Among the Xuandan, the sub-Xuandan is the easiest to obtain, and the corresponding price is also the lowest, generally only a few dozen to a few hundred Huangxuan coins, and the price increases exponentially with each level of grade increase. In the Blue Wind Empire, any Earth Xuandan will be sold at a sky-high price, and when it comes to the Sky Xuandan, it is already a priceless treasure. As for the King Xuandan, it is basically only a legendary thing.
On the way to New Moon City, Yun Che did harvest a few lowest-level dimensional pills, but he used them all to refine the more efficient Huixuan Pills. He carried raw iron all the way, and he ate almost all of the Huixuan Pills as food.
"Junior Brother Yun, you are tired today, so go to bed early. Don't worry about other things. With Palace Master Qin here, Xiao Zong will not do anything wrong in the next ten days. As long as these ten days pass, I am absolutely sure that you will be safe."
"I understand, Senior Sister... Senior Sister, you should also go to bed early."
Lan Xueruo walked away slowly with a faint orchid fragrance, leaving Yun Che there in deep thought.
“That’s great, brother-in-law! Since Senior Sister is so sure, she will definitely be able to rescue you.” Xia Yuanba said excitedly, “Um… Brother-in-law? Why don’t you look very happy? Don’t you believe Senior Sister Xueruo?”
“Yuan Ba, are you related to Senior Sister Xueruo?” Yun Che asked suddenly.
"No. Why do you ask, brother-in-law?" Xia Yuanba touched his head.
"So, have you or your family ever saved Senior Sister Xueruo or her family?"
"No! I haven't even met her family. Besides, my profound strength is so low that I can't possibly save Senior Sister Xueruo. Not to mention my family."
“This is weird.” Yun Che put his right hand on his chin, looking thoughtful: “We are not related, we have no reason to be together, and we have only talked a few words together. Why would she help me?”
"Oh! You're talking about this, brother-in-law, you really think too much. I've already said that Senior Sister Xueruo is such a kind person. When I first arrived at Xinyue Xuanfu, I had no relationship with her, and she helped and cared for me a lot. The brothers and sisters in Xuanfu all like her very much."
“No, this is different.” Yun Che shook his head and said seriously, “Her help to you may be out of her nature, and I don’t find it strange. But it’s completely different when she took me away from New Moon City! She knew very well that the trouble I caused this time had involved the Xiao Sect’s head sect… Although I am not happy with the people of the Xiao Sect, I have to admit that the Xiao Sect’s head sect has a huge influence in the Blue Wind Empire. How many people in the entire empire can hear the word Xiao Sect without being frightened! How many people dare to provoke the Xiao Sect? How many people dare to risk being implicated to help someone who has offended the Xiao Sect to escape the sanctions of the Xiao Sect?”
Xia Yuanba opened his mouth, but no words came out.
"If we were friends for life and death, there would be nothing wrong with doing this. But I've only known her for a day, and we've only spoken a few words to each other. We have no gratitude or grudges against each other, but she's willing to take such a big risk to take me away from Crescent City. It's really weird."
“Also… Yuanba, you two are in the same class. Have you heard her mention anything about returning to Blue Wind Imperial City these days, or any signs of that?” Yun Che asked.
Xia Yuanba was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully and shook his head: "It seems, not. But if she wants to go home, there should be no need to tell us in advance."
“I didn’t say I wanted to go back to the Imperial City before, but now I suddenly said I wanted to go back in ten days. And the time that Palace Master Qin managed to buy for me is also exactly ten days… This is a bit too much of a coincidence.” Yun Che said after pondering.
After hearing what Yun Che said, Xia Yuanba also began to feel that something was a little strange. Of course, he knew the reputation of the Xiao Sect. It was indeed too abnormal to risk offending the Xiao Sect to save a person who he had only known for one day and who could be said to be completely unrelated. Because if he was not careful, he might be in for a catastrophe! He scratched his scalp hard, and then shook his head violently: "No, no! Senior Sister Xueruo is such a good person, she can't have any other plans for my brother-in-law, and besides... besides, my brother-in-law, you are not a rich man, nor a master. If I save you for some purpose, what purpose can it be?"
“This is also the strangest thing about me.” Yun Che raised his eyes, reached out his hand to touch his face, and said softly: “So… when I asked Xueruo Shijie just now, ‘Do you like me?’… I was not joking at all. The only possibility I can think of that can make a girl do this for a man she just met is that Senior Sister Xueruo fell in love with me… um, at first sight.”
“What!?” Xia Yuanba’s legs went limp, and he almost knelt down in front of Yun Che out of shock.
"I have no power, no strength, no background, and even no money. Instead, I have caused a lot of trouble. The only thing that Senior Sister Xueruo can covet from me is my beauty. Women are emotional animals. If they fall in love with a man, they may do the most exaggerated and crazy things for him. It is normal for her to risk great danger to save me."
“Huhu… As expected, no matter which plane I go to, I cannot change this era where appearance is everything. Good looks are not only a strong asset, but can sometimes save lives.” Yun Che pinched his face, and grinned as he thought of something.
Xia Yuanba felt Yun Che’s smile at that moment was lascivious. He stared with his eyes wide open and stammered, “But…but…but…Senior Sister Xueruo is so beautiful, so gentle, and there are so many people who like her! How could she…and Senior Sister Xueruo also said that she is not interested in those who are younger than her or those who are already married. This…this…”
Yun Che rolled his eyes at him and said leisurely, “Yuan Ba, you really don’t understand women at all. Women are animals that like to say the opposite of what they mean. She said that she doesn’t like those younger than her, which means that she actually likes those younger than her. She said that she doesn’t like married people, which means… um…” Even Yun Che himself felt that this explanation was really a bit nonsense, so he could only bite the bullet and continue: “…Although this orientation is a bit special, maybe she really does like married people.”
“~! @#￥%…” Xia Yuanba was frantic: “That can’t be the case! When Senior Sister Xueruo was here just now, why didn’t my brother-in-law ask him directly?”
“You can’t ask.” Yun Che shook his finger in front of Xia Yuanba’s eyes and said seriously, “Men don’t like women who are too smart, and women, likewise, don’t like men who are too smart. If I ask, it will be too much of a downer.” At this point, Yun Che’s eyes became unusually deep, “The guess just now is the only possibility I can think of at the moment, and I don’t know if it’s right or wrong. But what is certain is that she wants to capture me and make me her ‘prey’, and I…” Yun Che raised the corner of his mouth, “Same here! Next, it depends on who succeeds first! If she wins, I’ll do as she wishes, and if she loses, hehehehe…”
Xia Yuanba: “…”
