Lin Qiye's realm is very high, reaching the ceiling of human limits. With his physical abilities, he can clearly and distinctly perceive everything, from the slightest breeze to the whispering of a scent.

And now, he was sensing that familiar scent through the bright red color in front of him.

He has not admitted his mistake, nor will he admit it.

Therefore, he instantly grabbed Fang Si's hand.

"Old Fang, the situation is urgent. I can't explain to you now, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Fang Si could answer, Gongyang Wan was shocked. Lin Qiye directly carried Fang Si into the sky and rushed towards the source of the bloody smell.

Lin Qiye's anxious actions undoubtedly surprised both Fang Si and Gongyang Wan for a moment.

Back when the Khrushchev army was besieging the city, and even Chang'an was about to fall, they didn't see Lin Qiye so anxious.

As the two streaked across the sky like shooting stars and landed on the ground, Fang Si finally understood what Lin Qiye was in such a hurry for.

Between the vast, white expanse of heaven and earth, there was emptiness and desolation.

Amidst the swirling snow, a bright red, step-like mark slowly imprinted itself on a small hill, resembling a long ladder.

On that hill, which was neither too high nor too low, lay a disheveled girl, her clothes tattered and her breathing labored.

As the two landed, Lin Qiye no longer cared about holding Fang Si's hand, but quickly ran to the girl's side.

thump.

As Lin Qiye knelt on the ground, he draped his holly-green robe over the girl, then wrapped the unconscious girl in his arms and lifted her up.

Upon seeing this, Fang Si was somewhat stunned.

"she is?"

Upon hearing Fang Si's greeting, Lin Qiye's lips curled into a smile.

"Her name is Jialan, and she is my lover."

Fang Si was taken aback, but before he could say anything more, Jia Lan, who was being held in Lin Qi Ye's arms, gradually woke up.

As the bright young girl groggily opened her eyes, even though her face was pale from her injuries, it could not conceal her clear and beautiful features.

Seemingly sensing that he was being picked up, Jialan immediately began to struggle in Lin Qiye's arms.

In her memory, she didn't know anyone here, and the only people who would come looking for her were probably Chen Bapi and the madam of Liuqingfang.

Therefore, she naturally assumed that Lin Qiye and his companion were Chen Bapi's men.

Seeing that even though Jialan was almost too weak to struggle, she kept wriggling in his arms, Lin Qiye immediately understood that she was frightened.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

Hearing Lin Qiye's words, even though she didn't recognize the man in front of her, Jialan felt inexplicably at ease.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Lin Qiye."

"I...I don't know you,"

"We'll get to know each other eventually."

Listening to the words coming from Lin Qiye's side, Fang Si said that whoever wanted to eat this dog food could eat it.

Although it felt somewhat inexplicable, it wasn't hard for him to guess that Lin Qiye must know Jialan from two thousand years in the future.

However... if I'm not mistaken, Jialan should be at least twenty years old now, and it's the sixth year of Yuan Shou now. If we go back twenty years, it would be the fourth year of Jian Yuan, right?

Does that mean Lin Qiye married someone two thousand years older than him?

As he pondered this, Fang Si couldn't help but sigh.

"This isn't far from the point where women who study three thousand times will be considered immortals..."

"Old Fang, what are you muttering about?" Before Fang Si could finish his exclamation, Lin Qiye walked up with Jialan, his face darkening.

With his hearing, he naturally wouldn't miss what Fang Si was saying, and since they were both modern people, he also understood Fang Si's jokes.

However, what puzzled Lin Qiye was how Fang Si, a guy who lived in the Han Dynasty, knew about this meme.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiye decided to go back and give Wu Quan a beating.

It must be the Wuquan Cult.

Upon seeing Lin Qiye and Jialan walking hand in hand, and Jialan anxiously trying to pull his hand away, Fang Si's eyebrows twitched.

What are you doing here?

"Oh dear, you two hurry up and leave! Something is chasing me, it's very dangerous!" Before Lin Qiye could speak, Jialan said anxiously to the two of them.

Jialan is inexperienced in the ways of the world because she was born in Yaochi, so her heart is like a blank sheet of paper.

So, since Lin Qiye came to save her, she naively thought that both of them were good people, and naturally did not want them to be implicated along with her, which is why she advised them to leave quickly.

Clearly, Lin Qiye not only ignored her words, but also narrowed his eyes with murderous intent.

"Leave? Why should I leave? I want to see who hurt you like this."

If we were to discuss what Lin Qiye regrets most, it would be that firstly, when he was in the Japanese camp, Jialan fell into a deep sleep to save him, and secondly, that Fang Sheng died to save him.

Now, he is powerless to change the latter and can only try his best to make amends, but he is unwilling to let the former suffer any more grievances.

As he spoke, Lin Qiye looked tenderly at the anxious Jialan in front of him, took her hand with one hand, and gently stroked her hair with the other.

At the same time, he offered words of comfort in a soft voice.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

As he spoke, his right hand, which had fallen from his hair, suddenly clenched in mid-air.

In an instant, the Kusanagi Sword appeared in his hand.

As he suddenly plunged the half-broken Kusanagi sword into the ground, the hundreds of meters above the three of them instantly bloomed like a blood-red rose.

As specks of blood rained down, Lin Qiye used his power of cause and effect to create a transparent protective shield around the two of them, preventing the blood from soaking them.

At this moment, unlike Jialan, who was staring blankly in Lin Qiye's arms, Fang Si could only darken his face and use his mind to create a mirror barrier above his head, blocking the blood rain from falling.

Fortunately, he advanced to the second stage during this period; otherwise, after being dealt with by Lin Qiye, he would have been forced to take a bath.

Looking at the lovey-dovey couple, Jialan and Lin Qiye, Fang Si was speechless.

Why the hell did you bring me out to pick up girls?

Fortunately, the tension didn't last long. After resolving Jialan's worries, Lin Qiye fed her something that resembled a pill.

After a few more words, the atmosphere gradually became normal.

However, although things were somewhat normal, Garan was still crying.

"Waaah... How could you give me the Immortality Pill...!"

"Although your body appears to be unharmed on the surface, the internal injuries are extremely severe. You will die if you do not take the Immortal Pill."

"But that's not right either..."

"Hey, that's enough." Before the two could continue their sweet talk, Fang Si interrupted them. "Alright, let's go back and talk about what's going on. We've been out for quite a while now, and I'm sure the Marquis and the others are getting impatient."

Chapter 553 You can just call him Brother Fang.

As soon as Fang Si finished speaking, Jialan was stunned for a moment, clearly not understanding, but Lin Qiye nodded.

“That makes sense. Garan, let me introduce you. This is Fang Si. You can call him Brother Fang.”

As he spoke, Lin Qiye paused again.

"Although his current level is not high, he will become very strong in the future, and we will have to rely on him to save us then."

As Jialan nodded like a chick pecking at rice, Fang Si's face turned a spectacular shade of black.

If you don't consider the level of understanding involved, then don't even mention it. Why did you emphasize it again?

If Fang Si weren't unable to beat Lin Qiye, he would really want to punch him right now.

After Jialan called out "Brother Fang" to acknowledge their acquaintance, the group returned to Qingshan County together.

After changing Jialan's clothes and throwing away the tattered ones, they returned together to the restaurant where Huo Qubing and the others were waiting.

Meanwhile, in the restaurant, just as Fang Si had said, Huo Qubing, Zhan Yuwu, Gongyang Wan, and others were sitting in the main seats waiting for the two of them.

Fang Si glanced at the food on the table. The hot dishes were no longer steaming and had clearly cooled down.

It seems that Huo Qubing and his men have been waiting for some time.

As the three took their seats, Yan Zhong immediately looked at Jialan with curiosity.

"Seven Nights, were you just picking up this lady? May I ask who she is?"

Just as Lin Qiye was hesitating about how to introduce them, and Jialan was about to speak, Fang Si spoke first.

"Her name is Jialan, and she is Qiye's wife."

"Yes...no! No!" Upon hearing Fang Si's words, Jialan originally wanted to agree, but after realizing what he had said, he quickly waved his hand in rebuttal.

Lin Qiye, upon hearing Fang Si's words, broke out in a sweat.

He quickly pulled Fang Si, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Since the three of them sat down together, their seats were naturally arranged side by side, with Fang Si on the right and Jia Lan on the left.

As for Lin Qiye, he was naturally caught in the middle between the two.

After being pulled by Lin Qiye, Fang Si had avenged the humiliation of being fed dog food earlier and did not cause any more trouble.

At this moment, Garan also offered an explanation.

"I...I am a maidservant of Yaochi, not Qiye's wife!"

Because Fang Si had just said she was Lin Qiye's wife, she was so anxious that she even stammered a bit when she spoke.

When Huo Qubing and the others saw that her cheeks were slightly flushed, and that although she said no, she did not show any disgust towards Lin Qiye, they immediately understood.

Although it may not be now, it looks like it won't be long before it is.

However, compared to these personal matters, Huo Qubing was clearly more concerned with important business. After introducing himself, he went straight to ask Jialan.

"This... Miss Jialan, are you saying you come from Yaochi?"

Upon hearing Huo Qubing's question, Jialan nodded.

Upon seeing Jialan nod, Huo Qubing immediately pressed for an answer.

“Miss Jialan, to be honest, our destination is also Yaochi in Kunlun Mountain. Since you come from there, could you perhaps share some information with us?”

Jialan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle drum, directly rejecting Huo Qubing.

"No, no, you can't go to Yaochi now. Yaochi is in chaos and very dangerous right now. If you go to Yaochi now, you might not be able to come back."

"Can't come back?"

Upon hearing Jialan's words, the group exchanged glances.

Although they had anticipated that this trip would be dangerous, they never expected that danger would occur in a place like Yaochi, a celestial abode.

"What exactly happened? Can you explain in detail?" Huo Qubing asked in a deep voice.

After thinking for a moment, Jialan finally spoke hesitantly.

"I don't know the specifics. I only know that about six days ago, a strange smoke swept through the entire Yaochi, and then... everything was wrong."

As he spoke, Garan seemed to remember something, and his expression darkened slightly.

"First, there were discrepancies between the real and fake among us maids, then among the main gods who came to the banquet at Yaochi, and finally, even the Empress was confused."

Upon hearing Jialan's words, everyone understood.

It was indeed the true form of Kr'tsun at work, and just as they had guessed, Kr'tsun had already set his sights on the gods of Great Xia.

However, if it were six days ago...

Seeing Lin Qiye still chasing after Jialan, asking how he escaped from Yaochi and whether he had suffered any hidden injuries, Fang Si gave him a reminder.

"If what Jialan said is correct, then it is six days. At our pace, it will probably take at least four days to get to Yaochi."

By then, everything will probably have been settled.

Upon hearing Fang Si's words, everyone realized that at their current speed, it would indeed be difficult to reach Yaochi in a short time.
