Chapter 498 Talk under the tree
The duo had been on high alert from the moment they walked in, with their bodies tensed up in preparation for defense or attack
The air a few inches away from their bodies rippled from the energies they were releasing.
“If the person really was a soul formation expert, I doubt us with our domain realm cultivation base could detect them..” said the man with the willow beard.
“It seems Tan Jue is rushing here..” said the lady as she turned to her back.
“Do we stop her?” she added.
“For now, until we know what we are dealing with.
The duo instantly vanished from the spot and appeared a few hundred meters away in front of Tan Jue’s flight path. She looked to be desperately making her way to the pavilion with worry written over her face. Tan Jue had an impatient and worried expression as she rushed in the direction of the pavilion.
She paused her steps the moment she saw the two.
“Greetings senior Yue Xin, Senior Bai Han…, what happened? Is Yang Qing and the rest okay?!”
“They are okay, but you can’t head in there Tan Jue, until we know what is going on. We have already called the deputy hall master, and a few of the valley elders should be making their way here as we speak..” gently said the lady in green robes by the name of Yue Xin.
“But..” Tan Jue bit her lip in worry as her gaze fell on the pavilion with her pupils flickering in worry.
“I promise you, they’re okay but because we don’t know what exactly happened, we need to be careful. We are restricting the area to anyone below the domain realm..” said Bai Han.
‘”The deputy hall master is here..” he added as he and Yue Xin immediately cupped their fists as they gently said.
“Greetings deputy hall master Ren Shu..”
Tan Jue stood dazed before she hurriedly cupped her fists in greeting to the figure that had suddenly appeared in front of her.
“Tan Jue greets master..” she said as she addressed the young-looking man with fair skin and a handsome tender face with ocean blue hair gently flowing down his back, donning pure white robes.
“Jue’er you seem flustered, that’s unlike you..” he gently said to Tan Jue as he softly patted her head.
“Master, Yang Qing is in there, I was the one..I was the one who sent him…if anything happens…”
“He is okay. Besides there are not many people within the Order who I think can match him when it comes to the ability to safeguard their lives. You know how he is..” the youthful-looking man said with a light chuckle as a mystical light flashed in his eyes as he stared into the pavilion.
“Jue’er go take care of your patients first, I’ll have Yang Qing come say hi to you later..” he said with a teasing smile.
“Master…” she had an angry pout on her face for the insinuations her master was making.
Though it wasn’t that she hadn’t entertained the thought, but she ultimately let them fizzle out due to a few factors, one of which was her instincts told her Yang Qing didn’t see her that way, and she loved her work too much to spare the time for anything else.
She was still young and a palace realm cultivator at that, she barely scratched the surface of her lifespan as it was. Her romantic venture would take a back seat for a few hundred years to a thousand before she decided to revisit the matter.
She looked up to find her master, Yue Xin, and Bai Han all looking at her with strange smiles on their faces. Her face reddened up and she hurriedly left the area and flew back to her pavilion.
“Who knew even she could make such a face..” said Yue Xin with a soft smile on her face as she watched Tan Jue’s receding figure.
“She needs to act her age sometimes, which was why I always brought her along whenever I was with Yang Qing, hoping some of his traits would rub off on her..” said Ren Shu.
“Isn’t that a risk, what if she ends up learning his renowned trait, we are already understaffed as it is..”
The trio smiled at each other as they made their way into the pavilion.
“Such dense life energy..” Ren Shu muttered in awe as he swirled his hands. The air around the hallway flew gently into his hands forming a swirling mix of stars.
“Interesting..” he muttered.
“Bai Han, Yue Xin tell the rest not to come and that the matter here has been handled. The valley master is coming shortly… In the meantime, I’ll stay here by myself..” he said as he casually made his way to Yang Qing who was still seated in a lotus position with his eyes closed. He seemed like he was asleep.
The duo nodded in acknowledgment of Deputy hall master Ren Shu’s order and left the building to relay the orders given.
“Yang Qing what mischief did you get into again? Was it the art’s doing or your physique or both?” said Ren Shu as he scanned around him slowly analyzing everything. 𝘰𝑣𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
“It seems the research your grandfather has been doing needs more investment. This level of energy, truly a marvel. Though it seems to have cost you something, luckily it isn’t something irreversible..” he said as he squatted next to Yang Qing and a gentle blue drop was produced from his hand which immediately fell on Yang Qing’s body and disappeared.
“What is this, I wonder..” he muttered as he stretched his hand for the bead on Yang Qing’s hands.
“This?!!” his calm gaze flickered for a brief second before his head turned to the hallway where someone else had appeared.
….
Beneath an ethereal jade tree surrounded by auspicious air, and leaves that looked like they could contain a world were two childlike humanoid figures seated facing each other.
“It was too soon..”
“That it was..”
“But we had to do it…Otherwise, he would have been tainted and possessed”
“That we did..”
“Luckily he had the origin vitality essence to offset the impact..”
“That he did..”
“Too bad we will have to sleep for some time now..”
“It is..”
“But I’m glad he remembered us. I hope he comes here again..”
“That I do too..”
The two silhouettes had two voices though similar sounding had a difference about them. One felt firey and the other felt cool, each distinct from the other but seemed together.
The two silhouettes immediately vanished from beneath the tree, as the tree swayed gently.
