Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 529 Reject It Quickly!
The top floor of Xiaoyao Pavilion.

Two graceful figures sat before the array stones, surrounded by shimmering light, with the array patterns appearing and disappearing.

Not far behind the two, a graceful figure stood in the darkness.

Chu Liuya showed no impatience; she had experienced far more rudimentary things before.

Her eyes were calm as she gazed at Chu Muyin, lost in thought.

The princess's changes over the past two days have not escaped the notice of this Chu Guard commander.

However, nothing seems unusual at the moment.

Chu Muyin glanced subtly behind her, gazing at the straight figure, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

She had originally intended to come here to see if she could meet Qin Yu, just like yesterday, but for some reason, her aunt kept following her and wouldn't answer when she was asked.

The thought of Qin Yu coming and her aunt seeing that scene made Chu Muyin feel a little guilty.

And if you refuse...

Chu Muyin could tell that Qin Yu would never force her. In fact, yesterday, when he sensed that she was somewhat unwilling, he planned to ask Bai Yaosha for guidance.

If her repeated overthinking annoys Master Qin, she might miss the opportunity to spend time with him.

How will she explain this to her father then?
"Auntie, why don't you go back first?"

Chu Muyin finally couldn't hold back and spoke up.

Chu Liuya shook her head, her whole being like a shadow in the darkness; if one did not look carefully, one could hardly see where she was.

She was certain that she wouldn't disturb the two of them as they tried to comprehend the array patterns.

The woman from the Bai family was completely absorbed in the formation and didn't seem to care at all, while the princess's reaction seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

Even her own aunt is being so distant?

It's truly disheartening.

Could it be because I'm too indifferent on a daily basis?

However, as the commander of the Chu Guard, she usually had to suppress her emotions, and only when facing this little niece would her eyes occasionally show a hint of tenderness.

A long time passed.

Chu Muyin couldn't help but look at the formation behind her, but there was still no movement.

"Is Master Qin not coming today?"

Upon seeing that Bai Yaosha had just finished her meditation, Chu Muyin couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, he sometimes doesn't come over."

Bai Yaosha explained for a moment, then became engrossed in the array patterns again.

Although Qin Yu's guidance was a shortcut, Bai Yaosha did not forget her original intention and still maintained a strong passion for the ancient formation.

Even without Qin Yu here, she would continue to try to understand it on her own.

Unbeknownst to her, she had already begun to grasp a vague pattern in the array patterns of this ancient formation.

Although she can't compare to Qin Yu, her comprehension speed, despite only being at the advanced level of the Fine Realm, is already comparable to some formation masters at the Microscopic Realm.

Furthermore, she has her own unique insights into perfecting formations.

Looking at Bai Yaosha's obsession with the formation, Chu Muyin suddenly felt somewhat ashamed of herself.

This woman from the Bai family was only a few years older than him, and her primordial yin energy had not dissipated, so she was obviously inexperienced in sexual relations.

However, the other party maintained a sincere heart for the art of formations, unlike her, who would have wild thoughts.

Could it be that I am really too bound by royal etiquette?

Chu Muyin had some self-doubt.

"Om..."

Just then, the array on the top floor was suddenly activated, and a tall, slender figure strode in.

Qin Yu glanced around and saw Bai Yaosha and Chu Muyin in front of the remnant formation, which didn't surprise her.

Soon, his gaze fell on the shadows not far away.

There stood a graceful figure, so quiet that he would hardly have noticed her if he hadn't been extremely familiar with the place. Not even a trace of her aura was visible.

Looking to the side, one could see that the figure was wearing a leather armor, as if the surrounding light was absorbed by the leather armor, allowing it to blend completely into the darkness of the shadows.

Qin Yu's eyes were sharp, and he could clearly see the figure's proud silhouette. The close-fitting leather armor outlined a charming curve, which made him involuntarily think of the Flame Guard he had met in the Mountain Misty Palace, who was like a female war goddess.

The difference is that this figure is more concealed and has a more mature physique.

Of course, Qin Yu had no disrespectful intentions, because he sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the other party. That beautiful figure was like a sharp sword yet to be drawn.

He had no doubt that if the other party suddenly attacked, it would surely unleash a thunderous strike.

"Who is this?"

Qin Yu's expression hardened slightly, but he sensed that although the other party's aura was cold, there was no malice in it.

“It’s my aunt. She…is a little worried about me being alone.”

Chu Muyin explained somewhat embarrassedly.

Qin Yu nodded, not finding it strange.

I had long heard that this princess was deeply favored by the Chu Emperor, so he certainly wouldn't feel comfortable letting her come to the capital of the Great Yan alone. It was only natural that she would have such a powerful figure protecting her.

At the same time, Chu Liuya's gaze also swept over Qin Yu.

To her surprise, she couldn't see through this person's cultivation level, and she couldn't even sense his physical constitution or spiritual power.

It was as if some mysterious force completely isolated them.

Chu Liuya was somewhat surprised, after all, anything that could conceal her senses was definitely not simple.

In fact, Qin Yu did not use the dragon-shaped jade pendant given by the Empress to conceal his aura. This was only one of the effects of the Flame Banner. Not to mention Chu Liuya, as long as he intentionally concealed himself, even a half-saint would find it difficult to detect.

"How is Your Highness's understanding coming along?"

Qin Yu didn't give her aunt much of a look; she was just a dim light bulb.

As long as it doesn't emit light or glow, thus interfering with their focused study of the array patterns, it won't have much of an impact. "Master Qin, I..."

Chu Muyin felt somewhat ashamed. She had spent most of the day trying to comprehend the teachings, but had made almost no progress. It was truly difficult for her to admit it.

This was originally a perfectly normal thing; after all, even a master of formations would find it difficult to make progress without a sudden enlightenment. However, Chu Muyin felt that this was really unacceptable when facing Qin Yu.

"It's alright, continue to ponder it. If you have any questions later, just ask me."

Qin Yu said frankly.

"Ok?"

Chu Liuya was surprised.

Chu Muyin's mastery of mental power is arguably the most talented person in the royal family in decades. Perhaps she could have reached the level of the Microscopic Realm before she turned eighteen.

At that time, even in the immortal kingdom, he will be worthy of being called a master.

And this young man actually dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her little niece.

Could it be... that he really has some extraordinary talent?!
soon.

Something even more puzzling happened to Chu Liuya.

The man walked straight behind the Bai family woman, and then, with a stiff, hard stance, he leaned against her.

That posture left her speechless.

Turns out he's a lecherous playboy!

Hmph, taking advantage of someone's misfortune, that's utterly shameless!
No, we must keep my niece away from him. We must not let this man tarnish Her Highness's eyes.

"Om..."

However, only a moment later, the array patterns began to glow, and mysterious lines emerged.

"This is?"

Chu Liuya's pupils contracted, and a look of astonishment appeared on her usually icy face.

She suddenly remembered how the princess addressed this person... Master Qin.

He was the same Master Qin whom the Emperor had repeatedly instructed him to soften his tone and be more gentle.
In just a short while, he was already repairing the array patterns. His mastery of array formations is simply terrifying!

No wonder the princess held him in such high esteem.

However, this cannot conceal the fact that the other party is a lecherous scoundrel.

Ah!
They were stuffing everything into that Bai family woman's hands.

The other party is truly obsessed with formations, completely unaware of it.

Chu Liuya had no doubt that if this boy dared to offend her little niece in this way, Her Highness the Princess would definitely blast him away with a single palm strike.

Compared to her, her little niece is much more sensible.

Maintaining personal integrity is the most basic etiquette of the royal family.

Chu Muyin stared blankly at their bodies pressed together, biting her lip lightly.

With her keen senses, she could naturally sense her aunt's strange gaze. Just thinking about what might happen later made her beautiful and innocent face flush.

If my aunt saw this, what would she think?

However, if we consider our aunt's attitude, we might miss the opportunity to communicate with Master Qin.

"Your Highness, please adjust your mindset. Once Yaosha has grasped the essence, you can give it a try too."

Qin Yu glanced at Chu Muyin, frowned slightly, and gave her a reminder.

What the hell is he saying?!

Chu Liuya was shocked.

What does "give it a try" mean?
They snuggled together so intimately, and then they just stuffed things into each other's mouths.

How could you even utter such foul language?

Little niece, quickly scold this lecherous scoundrel!
"Yes, Master Qin!"

Chu Muyin's expression hardened, and she immediately responded.

It turned out that Master Qin did not look down on her; even when instructing Bai Yaosha, he did not forget to remind her.

"???"

Chu Liuya's eyes were filled with confusion.

What's going on with my little niece?

He's humiliating you!

Chu Liuya felt a subtle change in her state of mind, which had remained undisturbed for more than ten years.

Facing her most beloved little niece, Chu Liuya had an urge to go up and shake her awake.

and many more.

Am I overthinking things?

Perhaps Bai Yaosha had a close relationship with this Master Qin, which is why they acted so intimately.

Although it's a bit much to not treat yourself and the princess like human beings, it's still understandable and justifiable.

After all, he was a formation master whom even the emperor valued, so it was not surprising that he had some quirks, even if they were a bit strange.

Perhaps what he meant by "giving it a try" was simply giving his little niece some pointers, and not as terrible as he imagined.

In this way, it becomes understandable why Chu Muyin is not at all averse to it, but rather shows such respect.

This young man's mastery of ancient formations is truly astonishing.

With his guidance, it would be an opportunity for anyone who wants to improve in the art of formations.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuya finally calmed down for the time being, and looked at the merged figure with indifferent eyes.
