Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 545 A Plea for Help from the Bai Family

Liu Zixiao didn't laugh, after all, she had been through the same thing herself.

She borrowed the man of the then-saint Su Xiyue; only God knows how ashamed she felt at the time.

"what?"

Tu Yaoyao was stunned.

Humans, are you really that generous?
They showed no sign of blaming you, and even invited you out on their own initiative?!
At last.

Tu Yaoyao politely declined Liu Zixiao's invitation.

Although they both knew the truth, she simply couldn't get over that mental hurdle.

She felt awkward and even afraid to look at Liu Zixiao and the others, even though they lived together.
Just like what we usually observe?

Tu Yaoyao simply couldn't imagine the scenes of herself with Qin Yu's other Daoist partners. Even just thinking about it made her skin crawl.

This is truly shameful for the fox!

"Sister Chieftain, why won't you agree to her request?"

Tu Jiujiu asked in a low voice.

She and Xiao Ling'er both really wanted to move in and sleep with Lin Shuishui and the others, but the beautiful clan leader kept refusing.

"What do you know? Hurry up and start cultivating! All you do is play around all day."

Tu Yaoyao was furious and glared angrily at the little fox.

Since her natal space was upgraded, her cultivation has become increasingly loose, and it will probably not be long before her cultivation advances further.

Tu Jiujiu is a six-tailed fox. If she can calm down and cultivate, her strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and she may even surpass her.

Although I'm reluctant to admit it, we probably already have children.

Tu Yaoyao plans to pass on the position of clan leader to the little fox once she has grown up.

Own……

We need to try harder for the sake of the Qingqiu fox clan's bloodline!

This is absolutely not selfishness!
"Huh? I have to cultivate again? Didn't I just cultivate yesterday?"

Upon hearing the word "cultivation," Tu Jiujiu immediately drooped her little head, looking listless like a wilted eggplant.

In fact, even if she didn't deliberately cultivate while staying in her natal space, her cultivation level was constantly increasing.

Especially when he was with Qin Yu, he not only felt comfortable in body and mind, but his cultivation also increased faster.

If it weren't for the somewhat gloomy expression on the beauty clan leader's face, Tu Jiujiu would have really wanted to ask if she could stick close to Brother Qin Yu, since this was also a form of cultivation.

Under Tu Yaoyao's angry glare, Tu Jiujiu reluctantly pouted and began to cultivate in seclusion.

However, as the girl's laughter rang out, her cute ear would perk up from time to time, and sometimes she would pout her little mouth, clearly sulking.

Seeing the little fox like this, Tu Yaoyao became even angrier.

Who are you pretending to show?
I really want to send her back to her clan's territory as soon as possible, but if Tu Jiujiu leaves, what reason can I give to stay here?
Continue to observe how Qin Yu survived the heavenly tribulation.

But isn't this reason a bit far-fetched?
Tu Yaoyao was annoyed and couldn't help but glare at Qin Yu.

That guy, on the other hand, was leisurely lying on the swing, while Lin Qianqian was peeling spirit fruit for him.

Even the clown chicken followed suit, lying there carefree and relaxed.

Like owner, like pet?
……

Yuhua Palace.

The Empress Dowager frowned, her gaze towards Qin Yu filled with pity.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Looking at the Empress Dowager before her, who was as graceful and elegant as a fairy from the moon palace, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

That's not right.

He had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager. Even when he was caught looking at the phoenix on his own, she wouldn't be so serious. Sometimes she would even take the initiative to show it off.

"Qin Yu, you've changed."

The Empress Dowager's expression was stern and filled with grief: "Have you... given in?"

"yield?"

Qin Yu was taken aback. What did he give in to?

"Tell me quickly, did the big fox use torture devices on you?"

The Empress Dowager wished she could roll up her sleeves and drag the big fox out.

"Why does Your Majesty say such a thing?"

Qin Yu was shocked. She had long known that the Empress Dowager had keen senses, but there were no marks on her body. How could the Empress Dowager have noticed that?

"These past few days, the scent of a fox on you has become increasingly strong. Answer me, have you given in?"

The Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said.

The flavor was very distinct and unique.

"This one……"

Qin Yu was speechless for a moment.

He thought it was something serious, but the Empress Dowager wasn't an outsider and wouldn't tell outsiders about her situation. After hesitating for a moment, he explained, "My natal space is a bit special; the flow of time is different from that of the outside world."

During this time, his daily cultivation remained unchanged. The Empress Dowager sensed that Tu Yaoyao's aura was strong, which could only be because the flow of time in her natal space had changed.

"is it?"

A hint of curiosity flickered in the Empress Dowager's beautiful eyes.

I really want to go inside and take a look!
It's all that tyrannical emperor's fault! Little Ling'er and the two foxes can go in, so why can't I go in?
"With a different flow of time, wouldn't Qin Yu suffer many times more torment?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly thought of a serious question, and her gaze toward Qin Yu became even more pitying.

Qin Yu is so pitiful.

I really want to hold him in my arms and cherish him just like I do with Little Ling'er and His Majesty.

"Master Qin, His Majesty summons you."

Suddenly, a pleasant voice rang out.

Qin Yu and the Empress Dowager raised their heads at the same time. The former's eyes seemed to light up, while the latter frowned. However, due to the Empress's majesty, the Empress Dowager, though worried, did not unreasonably obstruct them.

Qin Yu followed Yan Zhi to the Imperial Study, but the latter did not go in.

"His Majesty."

Qin Yu bowed respectfully, then lowered her head slightly, not looking at that majestic face. However, even just looking at the beautiful legs under the dragon robe, one could imagine that figure, as beautiful as the goddess Luo, with unparalleled beauty.

"The head of the Bai family has requested my assistance and requests your presence."

The Empress slowly put down the memorial in her hand and looked over.

Ok.

He remained as respectful and honest as ever.

However, this is only on the surface.

The Empress, with her discerning eye, would no longer easily believe such superficial appearances.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu's expression hardened.

The head of the Bai family, who is also the father of his beloved wife Bai Yaoyin, personally sought help from the Empress.
Doesn't the Bai family possess an ancient formation that no one below the Venerable level can break?

"The Bai family has repeatedly refused the marriage alliance, causing the Kong family to lose face. Now, the Bai family is divided into two factions, led by Bai Lan and the Supreme Elder."

The Empress glanced at Qin Yu.

He really is a restless fellow; even staying in the capital, he has caused quite a stir among the ancient clans.

Qin Yu's mind raced as she analyzed the situation of the Bai family.

Even though the Empress didn't elaborate, he could guess that, given his father-in-law's protective nature, he would definitely do everything in his power to protect Bai Yaoyin and her sister. Moreover, with his achievement of repairing a damaged formation, they probably wouldn't be as isolated and helpless as before.

However, the other side is the Supreme Elder of the Bai family. Bai Lan is probably still under immense pressure; otherwise, she wouldn't have sought help from Emperor Yan.

"The Bai family's ancient formation should be unbreakable, right?"

Qin Yu hesitated for a moment, then asked.

"The Bai family's ancient formation is indeed invincible below the Venerable level."

The Empress nodded slightly, paused, and said, "However, without a Grandmaster in charge, and with internal strife..."

The Empress didn't finish speaking, but Qin Yu had already vaguely guessed some of it.

The grandmaster of array formations in this era was the Great Qin Emperor, a ruler of unparalleled power throughout history.

It is said that this person had a close relationship with the Kong family, as evidenced by the fact that the Kong family was able to ask the Qin Emperor to help the Bai family repair an ancient formation.

What if the Kong family were willing to go to any lengths to get this person to help?

Moreover, just as the Empress said, the Bai family's Supreme Elder lineage must have the same concerns.

"how do you feel?"

The empress asked calmly.

She originally had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts between ancient clans, as long as they did not involve the interests of the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom.

However, she also knew that Qin Yu was a man of deep affection and loyalty, and since Bai Yaoyin had become his Daoist partner, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by.

That is why the Empress did not directly refuse the Bai family head's request, but instead summoned Qin Yu to inquire.

"If needed, I'd like to visit the Bai family."

Qin Yu pondered for a long time before speaking solemnly.

With his power, even the ancient Bai family could only play a very minor role.

Perhaps, what the Bai family values ​​more is his status as a retainer of the Great Yan royal family!
Bai Lan was precisely worried about angering the Empress, which is why she sent a message to His Majesty.

However, for whatever reason, Qin Yu could not remain uninvolved.

Ultimately, the cancellation of Bai Yaoyin's arranged marriage was also related to him, and moreover, his sister-in-law...

cough cough.

To be honest, Qin Yu admired Bai Yaosha's pure heart for the art of formations and did not want her to suffer the consequences of a family marriage.

The Empress seemed to have anticipated Qin Yu's answer and was not surprised at all.

She was initially interested in Qin Yu because of his loyalty and sense of justice.

She would only feel awkward if Qin Yu refused out of fear.

"In that case, you may go."

The Empress's voice was indifferent, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

You couldn't tell if he was happy or angry, nor did you see any sign of jealousy.

Qin Yu lowered her head slightly, but did not leave.

The Empress's eyes flashed with divine light, but she did not continue speaking, nor did she urge him to leave.

"His Majesty……"

After a long pause, Qin Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer and said respectfully.

"explain."

"This journey is likely fraught with peril. Your Majesty, would you be so kind as to escort me on my way?"

Qin Yu braced herself and said.

The Empress was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting this fellow to be so bold. After pondering for a moment, she shook her head: "I cannot leave the Great Yan for the time being."

Recently, the Great Yan Immortal Kingdom appears calm on the surface, but in reality, undercurrents are surging.

What she valued most were the ancient relics that appeared in the Ten Thousand Mountains region of the Mountain Misty Palace.

There were far too many powerful cultivators gathered there.

Even though the Empress sent three Flame Guards to observe secretly, she was still somewhat uneasy.

If even auspicious omens hadn't failed to notice anything amiss, the Empress would have personally intervened to resolve this uncertain factor.

"Then... how about giving me a short ride?"

Qin Yu was still somewhat unwilling to give up, and of course, she didn't forget to add: "The last time I came to the capital, I was ambushed by men in black robes. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager arrived, otherwise, Qin Yu might not have been able to see His Majesty."
