Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 540 Despicable!

The open space outside the room.

Thick mist swirled around the withered branch.

While a single day passes in the outside world, four days have quietly slipped by within this natal space.

The withered branches, which had been dry and lifeless, are now quietly changing...

In just four days, it seemed to have become moist. The rich, almost tangible spiritual energy transformed into fine mist, slowly seeping into every inch of the wood, giving it unprecedented nourishment... and bringing signs of revival.

With the improvement of the innate space, the effect that originally required a month to achieve was seen in such a short time.

Even better results.

Everything is changing quietly.

……

Deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The majestic and magnificent ancient bronze gate stands tall, its surface shimmering with brilliant rosy light, like a gate left behind by ancient gods, exuding endless allure and mystery.

The cultivators who rushed here had fervent and excited eyes, as if they had already foreseen that they would rise to the top here and rewrite their destiny.

Anyone could see that within that bronze door lay an opportunity to soar to great heights.

Moreover, the strange phenomenon has persisted to this day, indicating that no one has yet obtained the opportunity within it.

Before the ancient bronze gate, in mid-air, stood a stunningly beautiful figure, resembling a Valkyrie, surrounded by an aura of otherworldly grace.

The cultivators below looked at this figure with utmost respect, not daring to show the slightest disrespect.

Yan Ruo did not stop these cultivators from entering to seek opportunities, and she did not even stop the cultivators from other immortal kingdoms.

The appearance of ancient ruins will surely attract cultivators from various immortal kingdoms.

The Empress personally instructed that as long as they did not cause trouble within the Great Yan territory, they should not be expelled, as she was worried that the situation would get out of control.

"Shh! Shh!"

Two streaks of light swept across the sky and landed in front of the bronze gate.

They all possessed a powerful aura, a terrifying presence that caused the surrounding air to freeze.

These were two beings at the Foundation Establishment Realm!

However, when the two men saw the graceful figure wearing a mask, their expressions froze, and they immediately took the initiative to bow and pay their respects.

Yan Ruo glanced at the two of them, a strange light flashing in her pupils. This was a pupil technique for observing qi and blood.

"Lord Yanwei, we have not committed any killings within the territory of Great Yan."

Seeing this, the two men tensed up, and one of them cupped his hands in greeting.

Yan Ruo didn't say much, and after scanning the area, she looked away.

Seeing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief. After observing for a while, they finally couldn't resist and rushed towards the alluring ancient bronze gate.

"Two more, making seventeen Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators among them now, right?"

"It seems that the opportunities inside are not for us."

"That's not necessarily true. Perhaps, those at the Foundation Establishment stage are actually unable to obtain the inheritance!"

“I think so too. My sect’s patriarch said that if it were really that simple, wouldn’t they have obtained the opportunity long ago?”

A murmur rippled through the crowd, and some of the cultivators who had been observing began to feel eager to try their luck.

Yan Ruo watched everything unfold quietly, like an observer.

For some reason, she felt a strong sense of unease.

Ancient ruins have appeared in the territory of the Great Yan Kingdom before.

However, apart from the once sensational semi-saint ruins, no other ruins have ever attracted so many cultivators to enter.

Yan Ruo didn't know the specific source of this unease.

However, she reports the situation here to Yan Zhi every day, so the Empress must be keeping a close eye on things.

Thinking of the Empress, Yan Ruo finally felt a little more at ease.

In Yan Wei's mind, the Empress is an omnipotent being!
……

Several days flew by.

These past few days, Qin Yu has been staying quietly in the palace, and sometimes she will go to Xiaoyao Pavilion in the afternoon.

He did not continue towards the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, even though he knew that there was a beautiful fairy there.

There is no other reason.

The flower fairy's aura was too cold, giving off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length, which even made him wonder if the scene of hundreds of flowers blooming back then was just an illusion.

Moreover, Qin Yu had no doubt that if the Flower Fairy was truly angered, she was capable of anything.

Even if they don't shout and fight like before, he still can't handle it for a while if they really resist.

It seems that seeing the flower petals is out of the question for now.

During these few days together, Qin Yu was no longer able to enjoy the treatment that Xiao Haiqiu received, simply because Chu Liuya was pressing her relentlessly!
However, it wasn't all for naught.

At least, after spending these past few days together, Chu Liuya's gaze towards him has taken on a slightly different look.

She remained as resistant as ever, even filled with murderous intent, but now she also felt a bit more doubt and apprehension.

This guy……

Does he have a special constitution?
How could a normal cultivator be like him, spending an entire afternoon giving pointers all the time?
There is absolutely no question of letting up!
Moreover, she doesn't have to move an inch each time the array patterns are changed, which is simply outrageous.

In the small courtyard.

Bai Yaoyin, who was taking a light nap, was suddenly awakened by a noise.

Upon realizing that it was the Transmission Stone making a sound, her pretty face changed slightly. She quickly tidied herself up and went outside the courtyard.

"Father."

Bai Yaoyin took a few deep breaths to adjust her breathing before activating the Transmission Stone.

A majestic figure appeared in the image; it was Bai Lan, the head of the Bai family.

However, at this moment, he seemed to be in a bad mood, with his brows furrowed. He only relaxed a little when he saw Bai Yaoyin.

"Hmm? Yaoyin, are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Lan keenly noticed that her daughter seemed a little different; her complexion was abnormally rosy.

"No." Bai Yaoyin made up a reason casually, not wanting to linger on the topic and arouse suspicion: "Is there something you need, Father?"

"How are things going between Yaosha and Master Qin?"

Bai Lan paused for a moment, then asked.

"This one……"

Bai Yaoyin was taken aback. Why was it this question again?

First, he was misunderstood by his father, and then the Second Elder, Bai Feng, witnessed the scene.

Now, in the hearts of the father and the elders, the husband and the sister are the only couple.

As for her?
On the contrary, it seems like he's just a beneficiary.

"Have they not officially started dating yet?"

Bai Lan seemed somewhat anxious.

"not yet."

Bai Yaoyin was also helpless.

She had brought it up with her husband several times, but it seemed that there was a bottom line in his heart that he was unwilling to cross.

And with her sister engrossed in array formations all day long, it was impossible to expect her to take the initiative.

"Father, is the Kong family putting pressure on us again?"

Bai Yaoyin noticed the change in her father's expression, her pretty face darkening slightly as she asked.

"You don't need to worry about this. With your father here, the Kong family won't go to the point of turning against you."

Bai Lan nodded, making no attempt to hide anything.

Upon hearing this, Bai Yaoyin felt ashamed.

If it weren't for protecting her sisters, Bai Lan wouldn't have faced such pressure.

Intermarriage was a common practice among ancient tribes for exchanging benefits.

However, there have been very few cases throughout history of people going back on their word after making a decision.

In order to protect her sisters, Bai Lan has committed a major taboo of the ancient clan.

In particular, the other party is the eldest son of the ancient Kong family!

Repeated breaches of contract are undoubtedly a slap in the face to the Kong family.

Since Qin Yu completely repaired an ancient formation, Bai Yaoyin was freed from worrying about the marriage alliance.

Immediately afterwards, news spread that Bai Yaosha and Qin Yu had a close relationship.

As far as the Bai family is concerned, they naturally don't want to offend anyone related to Qin Yu.

After all, apart from the Qin Emperor, Qin Yu is the only formation master in recent centuries who has helped the Bai family repair the ancient formation.

Moreover, it only took him one night!
This demonstrates just how astonishingly skilled the opponent was in the art of ancient formations.

This is no longer a matter of considering the clan leader's status. From a perspective of interests, all the elders of the Bai family believe that they should favor Qin Yu.

However, this behavior undoubtedly enraged the Kong family.

The Kong family paid a considerable price to persuade the Qin Emperor to repair the ancient formation.

However, the Bai family's actions have crossed their bottom line.

If we don't demonstrate some deterrent power, the prestige of the Kong family will become a laughing stock among the ancient clans.

"Alright, try to help your sister figure out a way to get her to finalize things with Master Qin as soon as possible."

Finally, Bai Lan, seemingly not wanting her daughter to see her true feelings, hurriedly hung up the recording.

The image fades away.

Bai Yaoyin fell silent.

How to help?
Should I let my sister watch from the sidelines, and then, after I'm exhausted, persuade my husband to go...?

How can this be?

Although Bai Yaoyin wanted to get her sister to help her, she couldn't bring herself to do something so shameful, and besides, her husband probably wouldn't agree.
Meanwhile, on the top floor.

Qin Yu and Bai Yaosha were unaware of what had happened, as they were still focused on teaching their sister-in-law how to comprehend array patterns.

Beside her, Chu Muyin faced a repaired array pattern alone, quietly comprehending its meaning.

After a few days, she didn't continue to enjoy Qin Yu's guidance at all.

Every time he was about to sit on it, Chu Liuya would appear in time to steal the opportunity to ascend the throne and comprehend the array patterns.

Although Chu Muyin was puzzled, she had no intention of going to her aunt to compete for it.

Her spiritual power had reached a very high level. After observing, she could try to comprehend it herself. Although her progress was nowhere near as good as when Qin Yu was guiding her, it was still better than wasting time here.

In the darkness, Chu Liuya coldly watched the two people who were trying to comprehend the array patterns, a disdainful smile involuntarily curving her lips.

Wow, you're so serious!

If you weren't used to all sorts of weird and wonderful tricks, you could easily be fooled by this guy.

His relationship with this woman from the Bai family was definitely more complex than it appeared on the surface.

Moreover, although Bai Yaosha is obsessed with formations, her body is very honest!
The traces of her hard work are almost clearly visible!

How despicable and shameless!
Such a lecherous scoundrel actually dared to use this opportunity to defile the princess of the Great Chu Immortal Kingdom.

This seat will absolutely not allow it.

But the thought of having to face it all to protect my niece...

A hint of resistance flickered across Chu Liuya's usually aloof face.

As the commander of the Chu Guard, I have never suffered such humiliation.
The key point is that her little niece doesn't understand her good intentions and has no idea what she has sacrificed for this. She is even fanning the flames from the sidelines, and her words and actions are biased towards this child.

After each session, this boy never forgets to mock her for being dull-witted!

It really infuriated her.

Chu Liuya desperately hoped that Bai Yaosha could comprehend more array patterns and ideally monopolize Qin Yu's time all to herself.

However, after comprehending the three array patterns, Qin Yu stepped back and looked at Chu Muyin, who was earnestly studying them not far away.

Ugh!
Chu Liuya sighed deeply in her heart. Just as she was about to step forward, she felt the muscles between her legs trembling slightly.

This is a resistance that comes from the depths of one's heart!
