Chapter 312: Tianming Pavilion Incident - Almost Too Late
No wonder this guardian deity has been hesitant to take action even though he can resume his practice and recover his skills as soon as he can leave 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, that woman has long been more than just a human being to be protected by the contract, but also a family member to him.
Yun Qingqing looked at the glittering little bead 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 divine 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 what's up with this little thing's nose. It just 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 refreshments 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 say worriedly:
"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 pondered for a moment, then said truthfully:
"There were indeed 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, and she finally shut up in a depressed mood.
The little kid puffed up his cheeks and thought for a while, then rubbed Yun Qingqing's arm and started to act coquettishly:
"Uncle Xi hasn't come to see Tongtong for a long time. Tongtong wants to have a fight with Uncle Xi tonight!"
Yun Qingqing thought for a moment, nodded and smiled:
"That's fine, but your mother must agree."
"Sometimes I feel like this child is closer to you, Master, than to me, his mother!"
Su Anrong said with a smile 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 friends coming to visit.
Yan Haochu looked at her in shock, then 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. I will not interrupt you two for now, please continue your conversation."
Yun Qingqing smiled like an aunt:
"I'm worried about Miss Su going back alone. Could you please see her off?"
"Of course it's no problem, leave it to me!" Yan Haochu was naturally in high spirits. He turned to Su Anrong and said, "Come, Miss Su, I will take you back."
"Uncle Yan, please send Liangqin back safely~!" The little divine 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 left here without any care as soon as he entered the door.
However, from the conversation just now, he had already understood that the young lady in front of him with extraordinary appearance was the head of Tianming Pavilion, and he immediately saluted without caring about anything else.
"Master Qingyun, I, Cao Bo, greet 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 in your marriage palace. You look like a widow! 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 felt the wind, and the scenery on the roadside quickly receded from him, he didn't know how many times faster than usual.
Minister Cao was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about anything else at the moment and just rushed 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, he rushed straight to the backyard and shouted:
"Aqin, Aqin!"
He couldn't find anyone inside or outside, and he shouted again in panic:
"Baozhu, where's Baozhu? Where have all the people gone?"
A servant who looked like a errand boy ran over upon hearing the noise:
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Where is the lady? Did she go out with Baozhu?" Minister Cao grabbed the servant's arm and asked anxiously.
"No, I haven't seen Madam go out..." The servant was startled by him and replied.
Yun Qingqing frowned, pinched her fingers, and 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 well water.
Minister Cao came over with a pale face and looked inside, but with ordinary eyesight, he could only see darkness. He said in fear:
"No, that's impossible...Aqin 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 servants 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 of the well."
Minister Cao felt more at ease when he heard the steady and resolute voice, and he quickly stepped back.
The next moment, there was a "splash" sound, and then Yun Qingqing jumped out from inside holding a person and landed steadily at the edge of the well, but her whole body was soaked.
"Aqin!" Minister Cao recognized at a glance that the woman 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 dropped a few words, and he finally came to his senses. He was extremely worried, but he still stepped aside obediently.
Yun Qingqing's eyes flashed with clarity. Seeing that the woman's soul was about to leave her body, she immediately took out a talisman and stuck it on her forehead, pressing 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 bottom to top.
The woman straightened her body, spat out several large mouthfuls of water, 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 call a doctor.
Inside 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.
