"Well……"
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
"I didn't mean to come in." Gu Jiao explained helplessly, "I just, just..."
Xu Qiuqian was not angry either.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Gu Jiao nodded.
"Sister Shiqian insisted on leaving, and Brother Yichen couldn't stop her, so she asked me to come over to see if you were back."
She originally just wanted to knock on the door to see if Xu Qiuqian was there, but who knew the door would just open like that.
"Really?" Xu Qiuqian didn't believe it. She clearly heard a "bang" just now.
Gu Jiao said dejectedly: "Okay, I did it on purpose. Brother Yi Chen said it would be dangerous for Sister Shi Qian to go now."
Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but laugh.
"It's okay, I'll go over and see where they are now."
"Youling City."
"I see."
Xu Qiuqian left the backyard and came to the teleportation array.
There were people on the teleportation array, and when they saw her, they greeted her. Xu Qiuqian was in a hurry, so she just cut in line and teleported over.
When he went over, he expanded his spiritual sense and found that Zhu Yichen and the others were gone.
Just as he was about to summon the soft cloud bed, Yun Yi came over from behind.
He transformed directly into his original form, shocking all the monks on the whole street to look at him, and Xu Qiuqian was also shocked.
"Sister Qiu Qian, come up quickly, or it will be too late!"
After hearing Yun Yi's words, Xu Qiuqian came back to his senses.
Since things have developed to this point, there is no need to let Yun Yi change back. Xu Qiuqian sat on it, and Gu Jiao followed behind. She opened her mouth, but stopped herself from speaking.
Xu Qiuqian reached out to her.
"Jiaojiao, come up."
Gu Jiao's eyes lit up and she quickly reached out her hand, but was pulled up by Xu Qiuqian.
Yun Yi spread his wings and his huge body soared into the air.
Everyone stared with their eyes wide open in shock, looking at the bird in the sky. Its wings, as crystal clear as glass, shone brightly under the sunlight.
"Oh my God, what kind of spiritual pet is this? Why have I never heard of it?" someone murmured in shock.
Some people knew about it, but they were so shocked that they were speechless.
Divine beast!
He actually saw the most beautiful divine bird Yi, a branch of the legendary Phoenix clan! Did the divine bird Yi seem to have come from the grocery store?
"Manager Xu, is there anything else that she doesn't have..."
On this side, on Yun Yi's back, Xu Qiuqian was also a little worried.
"Xiao Yi, will this put you in danger?"
Although Yun Yi has already signed a contract with her, she is still weak now. If someone with ulterior motives knew about this, there is no telling what kind of behavior they would take.
"Sister Qiu Qian, what are you afraid of?"
When Yun Yi asked this, Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
"I……"
"You can't protect us forever, nor can you stay by our side all the time to protect us. Danger will always exist. Sister Qiu Qian, don't worry. Although our current cultivation is not high, we are already capable of protecting ourselves."
He didn't want Xu Qiuqian to feel that he needed to be protected by her all the time.
It was indeed a bit reckless for him to transform into his original form in public this time, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to show Xu Qiuqian his determination. He didn't want to always follow behind her and be protected by her, but to stand by her and face it with her.
He also didn't want Xu Qiuqian to always use decoration as an excuse to keep him in the safest place.
So he did it.
Xu Qiuqian naturally understood what Yun Yi meant.
She remained silent for a long while.
After about a quarter of an hour, they finally saw Li Shiqian and Zhu Yichen fifty miles outside the city gate.
The two of them actually started fighting.
But it was obvious that Li Shiqian could not beat Zhu Yichen, and of course Zhu Yichen would not really hurt Li Shiqian, so the two of them were in a stalemate.
Sensing someone approaching, Zhu Yichen paid some attention to take a look, and when he saw Yun Yi and Xu Qiuqian, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master is here!"
"Qiu Qian?" Li Shiqian's eyes lit up slightly. She withdrew her hand and quickly looked over.
Xu Qiuqian arrived at this time.
She came down and walked in front of the two of them, frowned and said in a deep voice: "Shi Qian, why are you so anxious? You won't even wait for me?"
Li Shiqian was originally very happy to see Xu Qiuqian, but her mood darkened when she heard this.
"I don't know when you will come back. I want to deal with Zhao Qin as soon as possible." Li Shiqian explained slowly.
"Have I ever told you that Zhao Qin is in the middle stage of foundation building and you have just started foundation building? You definitely cannot defeat him if you go over there, not to mention that he is in his own sect right now. You won't even have the slightest chance of attacking him if you want to."
"Am I going to keep waiting like this?" Li Shiqian also got angry.
She actually didn't have a very good temper, and she used to do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. But after she met her Taoist partner, she slowly changed and became much gentler. Then she was lucky enough to meet Xu Qiuqian. During the time they spent together, she really felt happy and her heart became peaceful.
"I'm not asking you to wait. I just want you to learn more and go when you are more confident."
Li Shiqian shook her head.
"Qiu Qian, if I have to be absolutely sure before I go and deal with him, then I will have to wait more than a few years, maybe ten or twenty years. You know my aptitude. I was able to build my foundation in such a short time because of your spirit-inducing formation and the pills you gave me.
I believe you should know why I want to kill him so much."
"You want to say goodbye to the past and run the store with me with peace of mind."
"Yes, but Qiu Qian, I don't know since when you became busier and busier, especially after you opened more stores. Sometimes I can't even find you."
Xu Qiuqian frowned.
"How could I not find it? Wasn't I practicing in Pingfeng City before?"
"What about during this time? What were you doing?"
"I……"
"Actually, I can guess that. Don't you think this situation is familiar? Just like when you first opened the store in Pingfeng City, I told you not to hide it from me."
Xu Qiuqian was helpless: "But you were in seclusion to consolidate your cultivation at that time, how could I tell you?"
"I know. I don't blame you. I blame myself. If I were strong enough, you wouldn't always think about us and wouldn't always choose to act alone."
Xu Qiuqian was stunned.
She seemed to vaguely understand what Li Shiqian wanted to say.
I glanced at the other people, they were also silent, even Gu Jiao.
"Do you think so too?"
Everyone was silent.
After a long while, Gu Jiao whispered, "Actually, we don't blame you for hiding it from us, but we don't want you to always handle these things by yourself. Sister Shi Qian also wants to quickly solve her own problems before helping you, so she is so anxious."
So does she.
They are all the same.
They all wanted to become strong, to not need her protection, and not to be kept in a safe place by her.
Xu Qiuqian turned her gaze to Yun Yi again, remembering what she had just said.
Then, he sighed.
"I understand. Come back with me first. I have something to tell you."
