Chapter 155: 155
155 – Ward Talisman
“Little Phecda, stay here with Puppy . ”
“Oh, okay . ”
Phecda responded while blinking her eyes .
Then, Xue Qilin approached Hua Dynasty’s sole Grandmaster — Beiming Youyu .
“I heard that you are looking for me? Beiming Little Fish . ”
“Little Qilin –”
Probably in order to get back at her, Beiming Youyu deliberately referred to the lass as “Little Qilin” .
“To call me Beiming Little Fish, you’re really daring . ”
Beiming Youyu retracted her gaze from looking into the horizon and turned to face Xue Qilin .
“You seem rather dissatisfied . Your eyebrow is almost twitching . ”
The purple eyes full of intellect and nobility accurately met Xue Qilin’s gaze .
At this moment, a sense of melancholy welled up inside her .
What’s going on? Xue Qilin wonders why she suddenly felt this way . She soon discovered the reason .
The purple eyes no longer resemble still lakes .
They contain ineffable ripples . What kind of emotion is that?
It is intense worry, and there is sadness hidden deep in the eyes . Additionally, there is guilt and a trace… a trace of expectation .
Why does she show such an expression? Xue Qilin’s chest tightened .
“What’s the matter with you?”
The words were spoke with heart-felt concern .
Apparently not having expected that her emotions would leak out, Beiming Youyu was taken aback . Her gaze drifted away suddenly . Who knows what she is thinking, but the expression in her eyes looked rather sad .
At this moment, Xue Qilin realized that there is no difference between Grandmasters and ordinary people .
Much like ordinary people, Grandmasters also feel happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy .
So what is the thing that distinguishes them?
It is an overwhelming difference in power .
However, in essence, there is not much difference between the two .
Just as a bleak air was about to fill the scene, Beiming Youyu finally recovered a little . She lowered her gaze and shook her head softly .
“It’s nothing . ” Beiming Youyu raised her head and said with a smile that isn’t a smile, “Can you solve a problem that I can’t solve?”
“Hey, you never know . ”
Being snubbed despite showing good intentions? Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction .
“Oh, then Asura’er . ”
“What?”
“I mean, I’m troubled with Asura’er . Can you help me settle this?”
Xue Qilin chocked and coughed abruptly .
Beiming Youyu looked at her askance, and a smile that cannot be concealed crept onto her face . Xue Qilin clenched her pearl-white teeth secretly .
After catching her breath with difficulty, Xue Qilin suddenly realized something .
“Wait, if you are here, then what about Asura’er?”
What she asked was who will tie Asura’er down .
“I think you are mistaken about something . ”
Beiming Youyu’s gaze is steady .
“I am a martial demon, not a human . ”
Xue Qilin subconsciously aimed her gaze at the fox ears on the girl’s head . When did it start? Xue Qilin no longer regards Beiming Youyu as a martial demon .
“Wait –” Xue Qilin suddenly woke up with a start, “You aren’t going to leave Asura’er to her own devices, are you?”
Beiming Youyu chuckled, seemingly in disapproval .
“Take a guess . ”
“There is no time to make guesses . I’m in a hurry . ”
How dull — Beiming Youyu sighed .
“This distance means nothing to me . ”
“What do you mean?”
“As long as I mean to, I can attack Asura’er from here without any issues . ”
“Did Asura’er leave Mirror Moon Lake?”
Xue Qilin doesn’t believe that Beiming Youyu can reach Mirror Moon Lake from here . Although she isn’t sure how far apart the two places are, but it should be no less than 20 li
However, Beiming Youyu scoffed and said, “She is sitting beside Mirror Moon Lake, unmoving like a Buddharupa [1] . ”
The reality goes against Xue Qilin’s expectation .
Beiming Youyu can really reach Mirror Moon Lake from here? How is this possible? Xue Qilin opened her mouth wide in astonishment .
“You don’t seem convinced . ”
Xue Qilin didn’t respond, still absorbed in shock . It is meaningless for an attack to just reach Mirror Moon Lake . Unless it is a large area of effect attack, the target needs to be restrained first .
After all, an attack that cannot hit is pointless .
However, if it is a large area of effect attack, the lake fish will inevitably be implicated . Xue Qilin doesn’t think that Beiming Youyu would choose to carry out such an attack on Mirror Moon Lake . In other words, a precision attack is Beiming Youyu’s only choice .
If Beiming Youyu can really carry out a high-precision attack, it means that her perception can span an extremely long distance and lock onto a target far away .
However, this is not the time for Xue Qilin to continue to be surprised .
“– Xue Qilin . ”
Beiming Youyu spoke the lass’s full name, her tone sincere .
“Why did you suddenly call me by my full name?” Xue Qilin asked in surprise .
“There is something I want your help with . ”
“Yo, didn’t you just say that I can’t help? You contradicting yourself . ”
“I am serious . ”
Beiming Youyu gazed straight at Xue Qilin, an earnest look in her eyes .
The lass became silent as a result . After a long while, she suddenly had a realization .
“You want my help?”
Beiming Youyu nodded .
“I want to borrow your position… and your influence . ”
Position and influence? Is she referring to Merak Temple? Xue Qilin guessed . But why does she want to borrow Merak Temple’s power?
“If you just want to borrow my power, then that’s not a problem . ”
Given that Beiming Youyu has been kind to her .
“However, if it concerns the entire Merak Temple, then I cannot easily agree to it, nor do I have the right to make a decision . ”
“I know that you have no real power in Merak Temple . You’re idle, and –”
Xue Qilin’s eyes gradually twitched . She raised her hand to stop Beiming Youyu from continuing .
“Hold on! The more you speak, the more unpleasant it gets! Is this how you ask for help?!”
“I’m asking you to repay a favor, not to do a favor . ”
Beiming Youyu said matter-of-factly . Her remark is proper and pragmatic, leaving Xue Qilin speechless .
“… you’re really quite something . ” Xue Qilin smacked her lips unhappily, “So, what do you want my help with?”
“Come, give me you ear . ”
“To have to whisper, what is there so mysterious?”
Xue Qilin contemplated, but still tilted her head and pricked up her ears . Beiming Youyu leaned forward and put her mouth next to the lass’s ear .
At this time, Xue Qilin smelled Beiming Youyu’s scent for the first time . It is an almost odorless smell of fresh air . Could this be the smell of “spiritual qi”? Xue Qilin mused carelessly .
“I want you to –”
Beiming Youyu told her the request . With that, Xue Qilin immediately raised her eyebrows .
“Are you for real?”
“Of course . ”
“… okay, but I can’t make the decision . I can pass your request on to Little Seven and let her decide . ”
“Qi Qiqi — Qi’er, she will agree . You only need to ‘jump’ in when you think the time is right . ”
Beiming Youyu stated with certainty . Xue Qilin doesn’t know where her confidence comes from . Could it be that she is actually rather familiar with Little Seven?
“What’s that with the jump part, that sounds really awful . ”
Xue Qilin glared at Beiming Youyu, then sighed .
“But why Merak Temple?”
“Spirit Moon Valley’s position has tied my hands . We cannot act first, especially not in this case . We can’t make humans realize that we have the ability to change the status quo…
Otherwise, they will probably remember a fact that they have deliberately forgotten — Beiming Youyu said thusly .
“Well, I agree to your request, but I’m not sure if I can meet your expectations . ”
Since she felt that the other party isn’t asking for too much, Xue Qilin agreed to it .
“Well, that’s enough . ” She repeated it more to herself than anything else, “That’s enough . ”
“Is there anything else –”
All of a sudden, a sharp pain erupted in he head, and Xue Qilin stopped talking abruptly .
Feeling that something’s off, Beiming Youyu asked, “Hmm? What’s wrong?”
Xue Qilin didn’t respond .
She clasped her face . Exposed from between her fingers, her eyes surged with one ripple after another .
These are ripple of restlessness and vacillation .
“The Ward talisman was broken . ”
“What?”
“The Ward talisman was broken!”
Xue Qilin raised her head abruptly and shouted the second time .
Ward talisman .
It contains the spell “Ward”, it can automatically cast “Ward” when the holder is faced with an attack they can’t defend against, forming an all-round barrier that can block the attack for the holder .
Xue Qilin made a total of three such talismans, which she handed over to Qi Qiqi, Shui Yun’er, and Xia Xue . These talismans are able to block several full strengths attacks from a Heaven Realm master .
But one of the Ward talismans was destroyed just now .
Whose Ward talisman was it? Qi Qiqi’s? Shui Yun’er’s? Or Xia Xue’s?
However, Xue Qilin has no time to spare on superfluous speculation at the moment .
“Little Phecda, let’s go!”
She turned around abruptly and set off . .
“Ah?”
Standing a distance away, Phecda doesn’t understand what’s going on .
“Go to where?”
“Hurry up, change into the dragon and carry me back to Mirror Moon Lake!”
Phecda has never seen Xue Qilin show such an uneasy expression like she is doing now . She also became uneasy . But she still followed suit and immediately changed into a dragon .
After leaping onto the dragon’s head, Xue Qilin riding the white dragon soared into the air, left the frowning Beiming Youyu, and rushed away .
“Was it Asura’er…”
Beiming Youyu’s whisper, of course, didn’t reach Xue Qilin, who is already far away .
