The fairy always tries to corrupt my Dao heart.

Chapter 36 Practicing the 'Sword'

After Shen Qingyu fled in panic last night, Li Qingan left Mingyue Tower without lingering.

After advancing to the second stage of Body Tempering Realm in one night of body refinement, he originally thought of having his master spar with him in sword practice, but he was directly summoned over by Su Lingyin's maid, Lingzhi.

Shen Qingyu was also there, which was unexpected, but what was even more unexpected was that Su Lingyin immediately showed a friendly side.

Arm in arm, cheek in cheek... It's only been a few days since we last saw each other, and he's already so attentive?

Li Qingan didn't understand what Su Lingyin was up to at first, but when she said, "Qingqing, can you keep an eye on him for me during this time?" Li Qingan understood.

This is an attempt to sow discord between Shen Qingyu and others.

At that moment, the first thought that flashed through Li Qing'an's mind was whether Su Lingyin had planted something strange on him, but then he thought that with Huang Yunzhao around, Su Lingyin's little tricks should be useless.

So, Su Lingyin simply felt that Shen Qingyu had been getting a little too close to her these past two days, which is why she came back specifically to 'warn' him?
Is this aloof little beauty really that possessive?
"I'll definitely keep an eye on his people for you."

As Shen Qingyu finished speaking earnestly, Su Lingyin and Li Qingan both looked over.

Su Lingyin saw the determination in Shen Qingyu's eyes.

Li Qingan looked at her clenched hands.

Hmm... the time we've spent together these past few days has been quite useful.

I wonder what this sweet girl was thinking about after her wild thoughts last night.

"Qingqing, thank you." Su Lingyin pulled Li Qingan to sit down and gently placed her right hand on Li Qingan's lap.

Li Qingan could clearly feel the warmth of her palm through her trouser leg, and once again felt grateful for her body temperature.

Such a warm-hearted girl is truly rare.

Shen Qingyu noticed Su Lingyin's subtle actions and felt even more unhappy.

You weren't like this when you were with Li Qingan, but now you've asked me to help you look after people and this is how you do it...

Seriously... Even if we've been best friends for less than a year, it shouldn't be like this, right?

They don't trust me at all!
I haven't done anything yet!
I'm only thinking about it now, I haven't even taken any concrete steps to prepare, it's not even criminal preparation yet, and you're already so wary of me.

It's so heartbreaking!
"You're welcome!" Shen Qingyu smiled, but her right foot under the table stepped on Li Qingan's foot.

Li Qingan sat up straight immediately.

He glanced at Shen Qingyu with a subtle, surprised look, both genuinely astonished and wanting to make an impression on her.

An impression of 'what are you doing?'

If they show an active emotional tendency, then it's locked in immediately, no matter what, I want it?
Shen Qingyu subtly shifted her gaze, wondering if she had truly misunderstood.

That was just a look of pure appreciation, not one of liking?
Let's ignore it!

Yinyin provoked us first!
Su Lingyin glanced at Li Qingan, thinking he was a little uncomfortable with her pinching him...

However, the response was really good.

"So, what are you talking about?" Li Qingan subtly withdrew his foot and turned to look at Su Lingyin: "Where are you going?"

"It's nothing, just carrying out a mission." Su Lingyin smiled slightly: "Find someone."

"Who is it?" Li Qing'an asked curiously, "Someone that would make you, a dignified Holy Maiden, personally go to find them?"

“An ordinary but quite interesting person,” Su Lingyin said softly. “Her name is Liu Bixue.”

"Liu Bixue?"

Li Qingan and Shen Qingyu spoke almost simultaneously, and Su Lingyin looked at them in surprise: "You know each other?"

Shen Qingyu looked at Li Qingan, who was thinking rapidly as he explained, "She entrusted me with something before, but I haven't started doing it yet. I wanted to apologize when I came back, but I haven't been able to find her."

What do you want with her?

Su Lingyin didn't answer, but instead asked, "What did she entrust to you?"

“It’s related to airships.” Li Qingan leaned back in his chair. “They say it’s some new technology that could bring about a major revolution in airships.”

"Flying boat..."

Su Lingyin seemed to be deep in thought; this trip hadn't been in vain.

If, as Dao Zong claims, Liu Bixue does know clues about the Heavenly Origin Mirror, then acquiring the technology is feasible. Of course, if we can find this woman beforehand, we might as well not have the technology.

However, if no suitable candidate can be found, then with other forces intervening, fair competition will be the only option.

In this way, if the master brings up the limit on spirit crystals at the last minute during the negotiations, the advantage will be on the side of the Divine Kingdom.

"What are you doing with her?"

Li Qing'an already had a guess in his heart, but he wanted to hear Su Lingyin confirm it with his own voice.

"You probably haven't heard of it..."

Before Su Lingyin could finish speaking, Shen Qingyu said directly, "The Celestial Artifact, the Heavenly Origin Mirror."

really……

Li Qing'an understood perfectly, but feigned confusion: "Tian Yuan Mirror? Chessboard?"

"No."

"I see..." Li Qing'an didn't press further, but instead said, "Liu Bixue is only a fourth-realm cultivator, how could she know about clues to immortal artifacts?"

"I don't know."

A hint of confusion flashed in Su Lingyin's eyes. This clue was given by Dao Zong, but how could a woman in the fourth realm know about the long-lost Tianyuan Mirror?

Moreover, since the Dao Sect knew she knew, why didn't they just detain her? Having the immortal corpse puppet as a trump card would make it easier to negotiate with external forces, wouldn't it?

At this moment, Li Qingan, who had already pieced together a rough idea in his mind, was also puzzled by this.

It's strange that a clue to a primordial immortal artifact is in the hands of a woman at the fourth realm.

More importantly, why was she still able to escape unscathed?

Is someone protecting her?

Sitting opposite them, Shen Qingyu watched their thoughtful expressions and pursed her cherry lips.

The expressions on these two people's faces... are so similar.

So my previous words came true?

The fact that Heaven arranges for you to live in a certain realm proves that there must be people you need to meet in that place.
Are these two... truly a match made in heaven?
wrong!

I've also come to the Chang Gung Memorial Hall!

Shen Qingyu glanced at Su Lingyin, cleared her throat, and asked, "Yinyin, when are you planning to leave?"

Coming to her senses, Su Lingyin glanced at Li Qingan, then turned her gaze to Shen Qingyu opposite her, and said softly, "No rush, I want to spend more time with him."

Shen Qingyu understood; her best friend was hinting that it was time for her to leave!
"Hmph~" Shen Qingyu put the pastries on the table into her storage ring: "Then you two can chat slowly, I'll be going now."

She was not at all panicked.

Su Lingyin and Li Qingan have spent so much time together, and they only kissed each other on the cheek just now, so their time together is mostly just practicing swordsmanship.

So...it's okay!

I have plenty of time!
After watching Shen Qingyu leave, Li Qingan turned to Su Lingyin and smiled slightly: "Practicing swordsmanship?"

"Sword practice!"

"Where to... Ouch!"

The warmth from his palm struck Li Qing'an directly, causing him to catch his breath and widen his eyes.

Wait, why is this woman suddenly being so direct?
Su Lingyin smiled and tightened her grip slightly.

Li Qingan already liked him, and now, with the added physical intimacy, he must remember it vividly.

In that case, how could he possibly be seduced by another woman?

"Get up and follow me."

Li Qingan was forced to get up because Su Lingyin kept holding him!
