Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"Have you seen enough?"

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Zhengchun suddenly raised his head and stared intently at Mu Qingyan, his eyes burning with desire.

"Don't study it, why are you focusing your attention on me?!"

Mu Qingyan blushed instantly, nervously averted her gaze, and complained awkwardly.

Duan Zhengchun smiled, slowly closed the ancient book, put it back in its original place, and then got up and went straight to Mu Qingyan.

"You've been staring at me intently ever since you came in. How am I supposed to concentrate on my studies?"

"Now look what you've done, turning around and blaming me?"

The provocative words and the warm, ambiguous atmosphere made Mu Qingyan, who was standing nearby, blush deeply.

She dared not look up, because at such close range, if she made any sudden movements, she might even kiss Duan Zhengchun directly.

"You seem nervous?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and, while speaking, extended two fingers to lift Mu Qingyan's chin.

Mu Qingyan was startled and instantly staggered back several steps until she reached a row of bookshelves, where she had nowhere left to retreat.

Duan Zhengchun smiled slyly and continued to approach.

"What? Do you intend to control me with your telekinesis?"

"I've heard you've made quite a bit of progress lately under Master Xuanwu's tutelage!"

Mu Qingyan looked flustered and asked loudly, but a strange expectation rose in her heart that made her feel ashamed. She subconsciously swallowed.

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun immediately stopped in his tracks. The fervor in his eyes vanished instantly. After a faint smile, he slowly said, "You underestimate me. What I want is for you to be willing. There's no rush for the abbot's future."

After saying that, Duan Zhengchun turned around and walked away without hesitation.

A hint of inexplicable disappointment flashed across Mu Qingyan's face before she quickly caught up with him.

"Now you've become a celebrity in Tianmen, and people talk about you almost every day."

"The path of cultivation is as difficult as ascending to heaven, and to reach a realm that others look up to is even more difficult."

"There is no one else in the entire Heavenly Realm who can draw his first talisman in just seven days."

"Perhaps this is why the sect leader values ​​you so much."

“In the past, this library was not open to the public at will. You were the only one who could come whenever he wanted.”

Mu Qingyan followed Duan Zhengchun out of the library and said with some emotion.

Duan Zhengchun shook his head and smiled, unsure how to start a conversation, because he hadn't expected to be so talented in cultivation.

It seems that from the moment he was reborn as Yin Zhiping, his life has completely deviated from his expectations, and almost every step he took was something he did not expect.

"But that's good too. Only by becoming stronger can you survive in the Heavenly Realm. I won't have to worry about you being in danger when you encounter enemies in the future."

Seeing that Duan Zhengchun hadn't spoken for a while, Mu Qingyan said something else to herself.

"You care about me a lot?"

Duan Zhengchun turned to look at Mu Qingyan and asked with a light smile.

"I've come to say goodbye."

Mu Qingyan avoided eye contact and quickly changed the subject.

"Saying goodbye? Where are you going?"

Duan Zhengchun raised an eyebrow and hesitated before asking further.

“A disciple of our sect got into a conflict with another sect and was captured. The sect leader sent me to bring him back.”

Mu Qingyan answered slowly.

"Why send someone else from the sect to do something like this, instead of making you, a woman, go alone?"

"Where is Bai Mufei? Why didn't he go?"

Duan Zhengchun frowned and asked in a deep voice.

“He has other duties and is not in the doorway at the moment.”

"Besides, I'm not as weak as you think. Just focus on your cultivation. I'll be back in a while."

Mu Qingyan smiled and said something before leaving.

"When are you leaving?!"

Duan Zhengchun pressed for an answer.

"Tomorrow morning."

Mu Qingyan answered without turning her head and gradually disappeared into the glow of the setting sun.

After watching Mu Qingyan walk away, Duan Zhengchun frowned slightly and headed straight for his residence on the back mountain.

I've been busy cultivating these past few days and have neglected Little Dragon Girl and the others for a whole month. Tonight is destined to be a fierce battle.

...

The next morning.

Mu Qingyan led twenty elite disciples down Tianyun Mountain at dawn.

This time, she was on a mission down the mountain, and she was given a death order: she had to bring the captured disciples back to Tianyun Mountain alive.

However, just as Mu Qingyan led her people down the mountain, intending to head straight for Qingluan City, she suddenly spotted a familiar figure lazily riding a white horse, slowly moving forward.

With just one glance, Mu Qingyan recognized the person on horseback.

Even though his back was to her, she could sense that familiar aura with her eyes closed.

"Why are you here?!"

Mu Qingyan quickly caught up, looked at the person on horseback in surprise, and asked with delight.

"What? Is this the only road you can travel?"

The man on horseback turned to look at Mu Qingyan, whose face was full of surprise, smiled, then raised the gourd in his hand and took a sip.

Duan Zhengchun!

After hearing yesterday that Mu Qingyan was going down the mountain to carry out a mission, he went directly to the sect leader and persuaded him to let him go with her, so that he could test the results of his cultivation over the past month.

Mu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook her head, unable to describe the joy in her heart.

This journey was destined to be dangerous, not as easy as she had imagined. But now that Duan Zhengchun was with her, she suddenly felt much more at ease. No matter what dangers awaited her ahead, she was fearless.

Why are your eyes so dark?

Mu Qingyan glanced at Duan Zhengchun, and while walking closely beside him, asked a question out of curiosity.

"I stayed up all night and barely slept a wink."

Duan Zhengchun gave a wry smile and said with some helplessness.

Last night was indeed a fierce battle. If he hadn't already become a cultivator and made a leap forward in his cultivation level, he probably wouldn't have been able to get up this morning.

"What did you do? Why didn't you sleep all night?"

Mu Qingyan looked bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

"fight."

Duan Zhengchun paused for a moment, then gave a tactful reply.

"Fight?! With whom?!"

"Someone has broken into Tianyun Mountain and caused trouble?! How come I didn't know anything about it?"

Mu Qingyan was even more bewildered, looking at Duan Zhengchun in surprise, hoping to get an answer.

"With a few tigers, tigers that eat people without spitting out the bones."

Duan Zhengchun thought for a moment and then answered with a smile.

However, the inexperienced Mu Qingyan couldn't understand the meaning behind Duan Zhengchun's words at all. The more she listened, the more confused she became, and she kept asking questions.

Duan Zhengchun had no choice but to keep trying different explanations, but the more he explained, the worse it got, and the more outrageous the lies he fabricated became.

It wasn't until Mu Qingyan was completely confused that she gave up on pressing for an answer.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is it that dares to arrest even the people of Tianmen?"

"What kind of sect would dare to do such a thing?"

Duan Zhengchun seized the opportunity and immediately changed the subject.

"In the Heavenly Domain, there are not only twenty-two sects, but also some other sects. However, these sects are used to doing evil deeds, and their disciples all practice evil arts. They have never been recognized by the people of the Heavenly Domain."

"Among them is a sect called the Nine Nether Alliance, which is the most powerful of these sects. They don't take the righteous sects seriously. They captured our people this time to force us to exchange them for the Heavenly Gate Secret Pill."

Mu Qingyan paused for a moment before answering slowly.

After listening to Mu Qingyan's explanation, Duan Zhengchun finally understood that there were sects similar to the Vajra Sect in the Heavenly Realm, which were equivalent to evil and heretical sects in the mortal world.

What is the Heavenly Gate Secret Elixir?

Duan Zhengchun pondered for a moment, then continued to press for answers.

"It is the most precious elixir in the Heavenly Gate. After consuming it, one's cultivation level can be instantly boosted, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort!"

Mu Qingyan answered slowly.

"The sect leader agreed?"

Duan Zhengchun was somewhat curious.

"No, that's why this job is so difficult."

Mu Qingyan shook her head, her expression becoming somewhat solemn.

Duan Zhengchun smiled, a hint of approval in his eyes.

If it were him, he wouldn't hand over the pills either, otherwise anyone would dare to defecate on Tianmen's head in the future.

Neither of them said anything more and headed straight for Qingluan City. They laughed and joked along the way, and as Duan Zhengchun continued to express his affection, Mu Qingyan gradually began to develop feelings for him.
