Chapter 259: The Turn of Times
The sun's shadow gradually sets.
When there was still a quarter of an hour before noon, Xiao Changheng withdrew his thoughts, gently stroked Yun Qingqing's cheek, and called her a few times.
Her eyelashes twitched slightly, but there was no sign of waking up.
Xiao Changheng raised his voice and shook her gently a few times.
The little girl frowned and hummed twice, then snuggled into his arms, and her breathing soon became even.
He frowned and remained silent for a few moments, then stood up and gently placed her on the soft green grass, took out a piece of fine silk from his sleeve, and walked to the stream.
He looked at the soft cloth in his hand that was torn from the corner of his inner clothes but he thought he would never have the chance to use. He raised the corners of his lips, squatted down, dipped the silk cloth in the stream water and wrung it, then returned to Yun Qingqing.
He lifted her up and leaned her against his shoulder, then carefully wiped her face with a wet cloth.
After wiping her entire face, he wiped around her eyes with extra care.
Yun Qingqing finally responded. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she made a "hmm" sound with her eyes half open and half closed.
Xiao Changheng gently wiped her neck with the silk cloth, while carefully observing her eyes.
Yun Qingqing shrank her neck at the feeling of the cool, wet cloth. She frowned and reached out to grab the cloth, but ended up grabbing his hand instead.
Xiao Changheng curled his fingers slightly and paused.
But the girl was about to wake up. She just blinked and looked at him blankly.
The gray film in those eyes had faded away, and the clear luster like black jade was restored.
There was just a layer of mist on her face, which made her look unusually dull, making the little girl look very soft and sticky.
Xiao Changheng felt slightly relieved, and his eyes softened unconsciously.
"It's almost noon, and you said you had important things to do." He reminded gently.
Yun Qingqing's eyes gradually became clear as she looked at him in a daze, her breathing quietly stagnating.
Xiao Changheng looked into those pure black eyes and curled his lips gently:
"Awake?"
"...Oh." Yun Qingqing came back to her senses, got up from his arms, and let out a long sigh.
She looked up at the sky, then turned and smiled at him:
"It's just the right time. It's a great help. Thank you!"
Xiao Changheng's eyes moved slightly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he curled his lips and said:
"You and I are husband and wife, why should I thank you?"
"Cough cough..." Yun Qingqing coughed twice and turned her eyes away, habitually performing the Qingxin Jue.
Her chaotic heartbeat calmed down a little. She remembered what she had to do and her face became serious again.
"Wait here for me. Be careful not to be discovered. I'll be back soon."
As Yun Qingqing spoke, she took out a talisman and without giving Xiao Changheng time to react, she had already stuck it on herself.
Xiao Changheng watched her figure disappear and the sound of her light footsteps getting farther away.
“…”
He was speechless for a moment, then suddenly curled the corners of his lips and closed his eyes.
Yun Qingqing smoothly left her teammates behind and quickly moved in the predetermined direction. However, before she had gone far, a figure suddenly blocked her way and raised his hand to accurately grab her hand.
She looked at the man in front of her with his eyes closed, her mouth twitched and she stroked her forehead.
Everyone has forgotten that this man is a martial arts expert, has been blind for several years, and his ability to identify positions by sound is unmatched.
As soon as he closed his eyes, her invisibility talisman was as good as gone.
Yun Qingqing sighed quietly in her heart.
If the Wentian Gua had not backfired and she had to conserve her spiritual energy right now, she would have already used a magic talisman to teleport away.
Xiao Changheng opened his eyes and lowered his gaze, curling his lips in a smile, not giving her a chance to argue, and just said leisurely:
"Take me with you, or I will follow you by myself. Madam can't stop you anyway."
Yun Qingqing: “…”
What a changing world! This person was just one step away from saying "I'm not asking for your opinion."
She didn't have time to argue with him, and she pulled her wrist out of his hand with a clever flick of her arm.
Xiao Changheng's eyes were about to darken when he suddenly felt a soft little hand holding his hand. His heart skipped a beat and he immediately held that hand tightly.
Then, he felt her pat his chest, accompanied by a slight sound of talisman paper, and his figure disappeared.
"Don't let go, or we'll get separated."
Yun Qingqing gave him some instructions and then pulled him in one direction.
Xiao Changheng followed her obediently, feeling the warmth in her palms, and curled his lips silently.
After walking for a while in the dense forest in the mountains, the road ahead suddenly opened up and revealed a long stone staircase.
The stone steps go up the mountain and lead to the top of the mountain.
And you can see a tall tower on the top of the mountain in the distance.
"We need to speed up." The girl's cold voice sounded beside him.
"good."
Xiao Changheng followed her footsteps. Although the two had not discussed how fast they should go, their steps were surprisingly coordinated.
Soon we reached the end of the stone steps and could clearly see the main entrance of the tall tower.
And the large number of monks guarding the tower outside.
Feeling his palm being pinched hard by that little hand, Xiao Changheng understood what she meant and stopped with her.
"Enter the tower, the top floor." Yun Qingqing said in a low voice.
The two men restrained their breathing, lightened their steps and quietly walked around the monks guarding the tower.
But the tower door was closed.
The monks outside showed no signs of entering, and no one knew when someone would come out, so it was obviously unwise to wait.
Yun Qingqing looked up at the outer corridor of the tower and was about to discuss the plan quietly when she was suddenly pulled by someone next to her. A big hand came around her waist and her feet left the ground.
Xiao Changheng held her in his arms and jumped silently to the second-floor corridor.
Yun Qingqing: “…”
Well, this was pretty much what she had planned.
On the second-floor outer corridor, there was a monk standing guard at the corner of the corridor every few feet, and the doors leading into the tower were all closed tightly.
Xiao Changheng glanced upwards, then immediately carried Yun Qingqing up to the third floor, and landed effortlessly avoiding the position of the monks on guard.
However, each floor of the tower becomes narrower and narrower. By the sixth floor, the distance between adjacent corridor corners is only a few steps.
Xiao Changheng avoided the monk perfectly and landed silently. The breeze he brought still made the monk on the side turn his head and look at him suspiciously.
They both held their breath.
The monk stared into space for a while, and the monk on the other side turned around and said inexplicably:
"What's wrong?"
"……fine."
The monk from before didn't notice anything unusual, shook his head and turned back.
Yun Qingqing felt Xiao Changheng slowly exhale, probably preparing to continue going up.
But a clear light flashed in her eyes, and suddenly her heart felt a chill.
The guards were all martial monks, whose senses were more sensitive than those of ordinary people. Yun Qingqing did not dare to make any mistakes, and in a hurry she put her arms around his neck and moved closer to his ear to avoid being noticed by the martial monks if she spoke.
However, her movements were not precise enough, and Yun Qingqing was stunned when she suddenly felt a soft touch on her lips.
Xiao Changheng's arms around her suddenly tightened and his whole body froze.
Yun Qingqing's heart was beating wildly. She suppressed the urge to inhale and escape. She moved her lips a little away from his earlobe and said in a very light voice:
"Don't move, wait for me."
Xiao Changheng remained silent, relaxed his arms slightly, and nodded.
He knew she felt it.
But the next moment, he suddenly felt two soft and delicate hands touching his face.
He froze again.
