Chapter 430: Chapter 252 Provocation by Qin Xi_2

He glanced around at the several cave abodes nearby, which belonged to the Lin Family members at the Foundation Establishment stage who were cultivating. Among them, Qin Xi had also been arranged to cultivate in one of the cave abodes.

During this nearly one-month period, she had never left the courtyard and had no idea how the situation was now.

As Lin Tianming was pondering, a beautiful figure accompanied by a faint fragrance appeared before him.

Lin Tianming looked up and saw the person coming, it was undoubtedly the Qin Xi he had been thinking about.

At this moment, with a smile on her lips, Qin Xi had concluded her one-month retreat, her injuries and spiritual power fully recovered, radiating an indescribable glow.

And today, as she came out of her retreat, she coincidentally met her savior, Lin Tianming, which couldn’t help but bring her some secret joy.

...

She came back to her senses and graciously bowed toward Lin Tianming.

“Lin, this young lady pays her respects.”

Seeing Qin Xi approach, Lin Tianming smiled and promptly cupped his hands in return, saying, “Fairy Qin, there is no need for such formality.”

“How is Fairy Qin’s injury? Has it fully recovered?”

“Are you accustomed to Golden Horn Mountain?”

Faced with Lin Tianming’s several caring inquiries, Qin Xi felt a warm current surge in her heart.

She giggled and said, “Thank you for your concern, Lin. My injuries have all recovered.”

“As for cultivation, the scenery of Golden Horn Mountain is like a beautiful painting, and it’s so safe. I’m afraid I’ve troubled your noble clan, and for that, I’m somewhat embarrassed!”

Looking at Qin Xi’s enchanting smile, Lin Tianming couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat, then he waved his hand and said, “That’s just a trifle, Fairy Qin needn’t worry about it. Moreover, should a Demon Beast Tribe attack this place, we would hope for Fairy Qin’s assistance!”

“Giggle… That’s only natural!” Qin Xi covered her mouth with a laugh in response, then continued to ask, “Lin, how has the beast tide been recently? Has anything major happened?”

“Fairy Qin is overly concerned, Golden Horn Mountain has been quite peaceful lately; we haven’t found any large-scale tribes’ tracks, and I don’t know why.”

Hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, Qin Xi had anticipated this. If there had been any demon beast attacks on the Golden Horn Mountain Clan Territory during her seclusion, Lin Tianfeng and the others would have surely sent her a message.

Since she hadn’t received any messages, it naturally meant everything was normal.

Her active inquiry regarding this matter was also to show that she cared about the situation, leaving a good impression on the Lin Family, lest by not inquiring she might be misunderstood.

Regaining her composure, she chuckled and then asked a question.

“Lin, where are you off to now? Do you have time to join my mother and Daoist Tianfeng for a gathering at my retreat? It would serve as a small token of my gratitude too, wouldn’t it?”

“This…” Lin Tianming’s face showed a look of surprise, and after pausing for a moment, he regretfully said, “Fairy Qin, I’m about to patrol outside the clan, I’m afraid I won’t have time to attend!”

Hearing these words, Qin Xi puckered her cherry lips, then replied, “Is that so… then I’ll make a special invitation to you another day!”

“However, Lin, I don’t have anything to do right now, so why don’t you take me with you, as a way to contribute even a little to your noble clan?”

“Fairy Qin plans to accompany me on the patrol?” Lin Tianming asked with some confusion.

“Hmm…”

Qin Xi nodded and then said somewhat helplessly, “I’ve just recovered from my injury, and apart from cultivation, I have nothing else to do.”

“But I’ve been in seclusion for cultivation for a few years now, and I’m a bit bored. I plan to go out with you to clear my mind, and accompanying you would also provide some mutual support, wouldn’t it?”

Hearing this, Lin Tianming did not directly refuse Qin Xi’s request, but he also didn’t immediately agree.

He was very aware that long-term seclusion for cultivation was not necessarily a good thing for one’s state of mind. If one were to remain in seclusion for many years, the improvement in cultivation would usually be very limited.

More importantly, being in seclusion for too long without undergoing trials and gaining experience could lead to stagnation in cultivation at best, or at worst, to becoming possessed, turning into a bloodthirsty creature.

At that point, such individuals would be shunned by all cultivators and even become enemies of the Cultivation World, facing endless pursuit and attack.

Thinking of these things, Lin Tianming found no reason to refuse.

Regaining his composure, he showed an expression of difficulty and said, “Fairy Qin, are you sure you’ve considered this thoroughly? Once we leave Golden Horn Mountain, it will not be as safe without the protection of the formations.”

“If we encounter a large-scale demon beast tribe, or even several Second Order Late-Stage Demon Beasts, it could be life-threatening!”

Hearing this, Qin Xi pursed her lips as if a bit annoyed.

She herself was at least a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and although her strength did not match Lin Tianming’s, dealing with an ordinary Second Order Middle Stage Demon Beast was still well within her capabilities.

Following Lin Tianming, as long as they did not encounter too powerful a Demon Beast Tribe, she still had the confidence to come back unscathed.

Regaining her composure, she put on an upset expression and said, “Lin, you must not look down on me. Although I am no match for you, dealing with a Second Order Middle Stage Demon Beast is a piece of cake.”

“Rest assured, Lin, if we encounter a powerful Demon Beast Tribe, you can just leave me behind, I absolutely won’t hold you back!”

Upon hearing these resentful words, Lin Tianming’s old face reddened.

As a man, how could he abandon her and flee alone? He also wouldn’t let Qin Xi look down on him, or else it would be too shameful.

Regaining his composure, Lin Tianming then spoke up, “Alright, isn’t it okay if I agree!”

When Qin Xi heard Lin Tianming’s agreement, her heart blossomed with joy. It was unexpected that this despicable ruse would be so effective.

She rejoiced secretly in her heart but did not show it, for fear that Lin Tianming would notice.

At that moment, Qin Xi looked up to see Lin Tianming’s cheeks slightly red and excitedly said, “You said it yourself, Lin. Then let’s set out as soon as possible!”

Lin Tianming nodded his head and then took the lead with a step, flying in the direction of the sect’s gate.

Following behind him, Qin Xi kept pace with his steps, and the two arrived at the plaza behind the gate very quickly.

At that time, Lin Tianfeng was sitting in the plaza, meditating with his eyes closed, constantly attentive to every move at the sect’s gate.

Seeing Lin Tianming and Qin Xi landing in the plaza, he immediately went over to them, greeting with a salute from a distance.

Lin Tianming and Qin Xi returned the gesture, greeting each other with clasped hands.

The three of them gathered together, and Lin Tianfeng, seeing Qin Xi after many days, asked with concern about her injuries.

Qin Xi smiled lightly and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Daoist Tianfeng. My injuries have healed, and I can now relieve our family of some worries!”

Lin Tianfeng nodded and then turned to Lin Tianming and said, “Tianming, are you planning to take Fairy Qin with you to patrol the sect’s gate?”

“Hmm…”

Lin Tianming nodded and said somewhat helplessly, “Fairy Qin said that being in seclusion for too long has made her feel restless. She wants to join me for a walk outside, to do something for the family as well.”

Hearing this explanation and finding it reasonable, Lin Tianfeng nodded without asking further.

“Then take care and make it a quick trip!”

“Okay… Brother, we’re off then!”

Lin Tianming clasped his hands in farewell and then took out the token, opening a gap in the Defensive Array. With a swift movement, he appeared outside the array.

Qin Xi also made a formal salute, then without looking back, followed Lin Tianming’s steps and flew out of the array.

Outside the array, Lin Tianming and Qin Xi stood side by side; Lin Tianming looked composed, while Qin Xi seemed excited.

Seeing her slightly flushed face, she was rather charming, stirring his spirit unexpectedly.

For some reason, every time he saw her profile, his heart surged uncontrollably.

Lin Tianming collected his spirit, finally managing to calm himself, then released the Purple Gold Eagle from the Spirit Beast Bag.

Looking at the Purple Gold Eagle before him, it had become even more powerful, almost reaching the limit of the Second Order Initial Stage.

Lin Tianming’s face revealed a gratified smile. Since the Purple Gold Eagle had advanced to the Second Order, it had swallowed many Second Order Demon Cores and consumed countless Second Order Demon Beasts.

With several Second Order Late-Phase Demon Cores in his hands, he planned to keep them for the Purple Gold Eagle to use in breaking through minor boundaries; for now, Second Order Initial or Middle Stage cores would suffice.

“After this patrol mission is over, we can try letting the Purple Gold Eagle consume one or two Second Order Middle Stage cores to see if it can reach the Second Order Middle Stage,” he thought.

“If it can successfully break through, it will be able to provide even greater help in future battles.”

Regathering his thoughts, Lin Tianming mounted the back of the Purple Gold Eagle, and Qin Xi immediately followed suit.

Standing shoulder to shoulder, the Purple Gold Eagle instantly took off and darted toward a certain direction outside.
