Emperor Qiankun

"Did you break through again?"

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan looked at Su Yaoyue in front of him in astonishment. He clearly sensed that Su Yaoyue had successfully broken through to the seventh level of the Purple Mansion Realm!

Su Yaoyue nodded slightly and said, "Well, I just broke through today."

Li Qingyuan couldn't help but smack his lips when he heard this, and secretly marveled in his heart:

Since Su Yaoyue practiced the "Holy Spirit Creation Art", she not only successfully unlocked the long-dormant innate holy spirit body, but her cultivation also advanced by leaps and bounds like mushrooms after rain.

In just a few months, he broke through three levels in succession. Such an astonishing speed of cultivation is truly astonishing.

......

Seeing that Li Qingyuan didn't speak, Su Yaoyue spoke again:

"Junior Master, you must work hard on your cultivation and stop associating with those questionable people. Otherwise, it won't be long before I surpass you."

She tilted her head slightly, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

When Li Qingyuan heard her words, his sword-like brows furrowed slightly, and he immediately understood that Su Yaoyue's words were full of hidden meanings, and she was secretly pointing at him.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his mind, and he suddenly realized that the reason why Su Yaoyue said this was probably related to Yue Qinghuan, the "manager" of the Treasure Pavilion.

After all, apart from Yue Qinghuan, he has not come into contact with any other strange women in this period of time.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyuan wondered to himself: Could it be that they know each other?

Then, he no longer concealed his thoughts and asked bluntly, "You know Yue Qinghuan, right?"

......

Hearing this, Su Yaoyue's delicate body trembled violently, and a trace of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes;

But he soon regained his composure and just sat there quietly without saying a word.

Seeing her reaction, Li Qingyuan knew that he had guessed right.

From this point of view, Su Yaoyue must also be from Zhongzhou.

Su Yaoyue had previously mentioned casually that her ancestor was at the peak of the ninth level of the Emperor Realm. At that time, he was a little confused and puzzled.

Now, everything makes sense.

However, he was also a little puzzled. Since Su Yaoyue was from Zhongzhou, why did she come to Canglan Continent?

Compared with Zhongzhou, the spiritual energy here is extremely thin, and even the strong ones in the Emperor Heaven Realm are pitifully rare.

But he did not continue to ask. After all, everyone has their own secrets, and he did not want to embarrass Su Yaoyue because of his curiosity.

Just like that, the two of them sat silently on the pavilion, and no one spoke.

The air around them seemed to become even colder because of the silence. The chill continued to invade their bodies, but it was unable to dispel the swirling thoughts in their hearts.

......

Time is like fine sand, slipping silently through your fingers.

As the night fades, the eastern sky gradually becomes tinged with a faint blush, heralding the arrival of a new day.

The rising sun, like a shy girl, slowly peeks out from the horizon and casts the first ray of warm sunshine onto the earth.

Su Yaoyue's attention was attracted, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at the rising sun in the east.

Li Qingyuan's gaze did not fall on the rising sun, but he looked quietly at Su Yaoyue beside him.

He looked at the look in her eyes, at the profile of her face illuminated by the morning light.

The space ring flashed, and a memory crystal appeared, floating in the air, recording this beautiful scene.

At this moment, the picture seems to be frozen——

She looked at the rising sun, but his eyes were always on her!

......

After a long time, when the sun rose completely, it dyed the entire sky golden.

Su Yaoyue turned around and said softly, "Happy New Year!"

Li Qingyuan responded, "Let's have fun together."

Su Yaoyue continued, "This should be our first time watching the sunrise together, right?"

Li Qingyuan raised his head slightly, lost in a brief memory. After thinking carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the first time he appreciated the beauty of the sunrise with her. So he nodded gently, with a faint smile on his face.

Su Yaoyue continued, "This year has passed so quickly. In the blink of an eye, it's almost been a year since we met."

Hearing this, Li Qingyuan couldn't help but recall the scene of his first meeting with Su Yaoyue.

He smiled and said, "Yes, I still remember when I first saw you in Ziyan Mountain, I was shocked by your beauty. You were like a fairy."

"Pfft!"

After hearing this, Su Yaoyue covered her mouth and chuckled, saying coquettishly:

"I knew it. There was something wrong with the way you looked at me. It turns out you were attracted by my beauty from the very beginning!"

"That's not."

Li Qingyuan saw her like this and said with a smile:

"Who made you so beautiful? You're unforgettable once you see you!"

......

Su Yaoyue was about to speak when she suddenly seemed to realize something. She frowned slightly and looked up into the distance.

Li Qingyuan also sensed something unusual and looked over. Both of their eyes focused on a black dot on the horizon.

In the distance, a large black bird came with the wind, its silhouette standing out against the backdrop of the rising sun.

This black bird was enormous, with a wingspan of several feet. Its feathers were as black as ink and shone with a dim light.

Every flapping of the wind brought about a strong airflow, causing the surrounding clouds to vibrate.

On the bird's back stood an old woman in a black robe.

The old woman had a hunched posture and a serious face. Her eyes were fixed on the front, as if she was looking for something.

The black bird was extremely fast and was getting closer and closer to them in the blink of an eye. Its huge figure gradually appeared clearly in front of their eyes.

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan noticed that Su Yaoyue's expression changed.

Her originally rosy cheeks now turned a little pale, and her expression seemed a little solemn, even not very good-looking.

......

A moment later, the black bird was approaching the pavilion where they were.

The old woman in black robe jumped off the bird's back with a nimble posture and landed steadily next to Su Yaoyue.

After the old woman landed, she immediately bowed to Su Yaoyue and said hoarsely:

"Miss, I am late. I hope you will forgive me."

Seeing this, Su Yaoyue hurriedly reached out to help the old woman up. At the same time, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes, and she asked:

"Madame Lan, why are you here?"

The old woman had just stood up, and when she heard Su Yaoyue's question, a look of embarrassment appeared on her face. She bowed again, and then spoke carefully:

"Miss, you have been away from home for two years. The clan leader and his wife missed you very much, so they sent me to come and find you!"

After the old woman finished speaking, Su Yaoyue frowned slightly and said in a cold voice:

"Madam Lan, it was Yue Qinghuan who told my father, right?"
