Chapter 370: Chapter 370: The Great Swindler

It wasn’t long before Taoist Liu also arrived from below, and seeing Elder Qi attack aimlessly without purpose, he grew puzzled.

Soon, Taoist Liu also noticed that something was amiss here.

“Qi Daoist friend, this seems to be an Illusion Array!” Taoist Liu’s voice rang out beside Qi’s ear.

Elder Qi glanced at him, confused, “An Illusion Array?”

“It must be an Illusion Array; otherwise, why can’t we find a way in or out? It’s probably also down there. Otherwise, how could that Spirit Stone Vein escape our eyes?”

Elder Qi stepped on a protruding rock, saying, “If it’s an Illusion Array, then that’s bad news.”

Taoist Liu smiled faintly, “I do have some understanding of Illusion Arrays. If this is merely a common one, resolving it shouldn’t be difficult.”

“Oh? Please do tell, Taoist Liu.”

“Illusion Arrays deceive the eyes. If you close your eyes, naturally, you will no longer be affected by the Illusion Array,” said Taoist Liu. “If it’s a high-level Illusion Array, then we would need to find the array’s eye, but generally speaking, they’re extremely difficult to locate.”

“Let’s give it a try,” Elder Qi said, and closed his eyes. With a push of his feet, his body rapidly rose, charging outwards.

A breeze came filtering through, and Elder Qi’s heart leaped with joy. Opening his eyes, indeed, he saw the blue sky and white clouds.

“Open fire!”

“Bang bang bang!”

The muffled sound of gunfire erupted from all directions, as bullet after bullet tore through the air toward them.

Elder Qi and Taoist Liu were slightly startled as invisible Spiritual Power shields instantly rose up, blocking all the bullets.

Cheng Dongliang looked at the two men with a gloomy face and said, “From this day forth, you two will be entered into the national blacklist, never to rest until death.”

Hearing this, even someone as powerful as Elder Qi couldn’t help but change his expression.

No matter how strong an individual’s cultivation level was, they would never dare to oppose the state.

Cheng Dongliang might have been inferior in cultivation, but his position and identity were enough to make them wary.

“Are you really going to take things this far, Daoist Cheng?” Elder Qi asked with a serious tone. Being listed on the national blacklist meant being wanted by Xuan Country. It would be impossible to appear in public openly in the future.

What worried both of them the most were those powerful cultivators who served the state.

Xuan Country had stood for many years, having cultivated numerous powerful cultivators. This was also why Xuan Country could negotiate with the community of cultivators on equal footing.

Cheng Dongliang looked at the two men deeply, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Elder Qi and Taoist Liu’s faces darkened, their fists clenched; they wished they could strike Cheng Dongliang dead on the spot.

But they ultimately didn’t act. At least for now, there was room for negotiation. They could arrange a meeting with Cheng Dongliang through a mediator to apologize for this incident. But if they dared to harm him, it would be a provocation against the entire Xuan Country, and then they would truly have no place to stand in Xuan Country.

They knew well what mattered more.

…

Li Xiaoyao returned home and continued to help Zhang Meng heal her bones, but as for dual cultivation, he did not proceed.

Zhang Meng opened her eyes, and seeing her sticky body, she blushed, wrapped in a bathrobe, and rushed into the bathroom.

Zhu Xiaoyue asked, “Are you not going to dual cultivate?”

“Cough cough,” Li Xiaoyao said, “There’s no need for dual cultivation.”

“But isn’t that what you told me?” Zhu Xiaoyue suddenly realized, her beautiful eyes widened with a touch of anger, “You lied to me!”

Tang Tiantian also looked at Li Xiaoyao with some annoyance. This bastard had originally taken advantage of them under the pretense of dual cultivation.

“How can that be called lying,” Li Xiaoyao said, a bit sheepishly, “Dual cultivation can help you cultivate faster and, besides, I never said it was the only way, you just didn’t ask.”

Ye Qinglian watched as Li Xiaoyao warmed Zhang Meng’s bones from the side of the bed and couldn’t help but ask with a blush, “Do you really have to take off your clothes to warm the bones?”

Tang Tiantian and Zhu Xiaoyue looked at him, and Li Xiaoyao puffed out his chest, “Of course, if you are wearing clothes, Spiritual Power can’t fully warm your bones.”

“But…” Ye Qinglian hung her head, showing a rare shyness while her hands twisted together, clearly torn.

“Of course, you can also choose not to warm the bones. You can recuperate through your own cultivation, it’s just not as effective,” explained Li Xiaoyao, spreading his hands. He was actually not lying this time.

Ye Qinglian glanced at the other two women and finally bit her lip, saying, “Tiantian, Xiaoyue, could you please leave?”

The two women knew she had made up her mind. Although they were aware it was unlikely anything would happen between Li Xiaoyao and Ye Qinglian, the thought of him seeing her body later made them somewhat uncomfortable.

“Sister Ye, if this bastard bullies you, just shout out, we’ll be in the living room,” Zhu Xiaoyue said sternly, glancing fiercely at Li Xiaoyao before she and Tang Tiantian got up and left.

“Mhm,” Ye Qinglian said, not daring to look at the other women. She knew what she was doing wasn’t quite right but for the sake of cultivating, she didn’t care about that anymore.

After the two women left the room, Li Xiaoyao felt a bit uneasy, his eyes wandering aimlessly around the room before he finally said, “Well, take off your clothes then.”

Ye Qinglian looked at him and suddenly asked, “So, that time wasn’t just my imagination?” @@novelbin@@

“What?” Li Xiaoyao didn’t understand.

“That time you rescued me from being in a vegetative state,” Ye Qinglian focused on his eyes, continuing, “At that time, you appeared in my dreams, did that really happen?”

After a few seconds of stillness, Li Xiaoyao recalled the incident she was talking about.

Back then, Ye Qinglian had been brain-dead, a vegetative state, and in order to save her, Li Xiaoyao’s consciousness entered her sea of consciousness. Because it was in the realm of consciousness, both were without clothing.

“Well… the situation was special at that time and…”

“No need to explain,” Ye Qinglian interrupted, her hands untying the buttons, her movements slow, but Li Xiaoyao could see her fingers trembling slightly.

“Gulp~” Li Xiaoyao’s throat made a sound, faint though it was, Ye Qinglian heard it clearly.

Ye Qinglian’s cheeks flushed even more, yet she didn’t feel too repelled.

As her clothes came off one by one, Ye Qinglian grew increasingly nervous.

Li Xiaoyao inwardly admonished himself with the principle of propriety, and quickly averted his gaze.
