Chapter 81
HEART PROTECTION: CHAPTER 81
The commotion Tian Yao made last night was too severe . Trees were broken . Earth was ripped up . The surroundings today were still a mess . However, the waters in the icy spring had already become clear and clean . It didn't look any different than the previous days .
Yan Hui knelt by the water and look at her reflection in the water . Her mind swirled with what Xian Ge had just told her . They raced around in the thoughts . She suddenly reached out and swatted at her own reflection . Then without even taking off her outer robes, Yan Hui dove in .
The spring was actually very deep . Yan Hui held her breath and kept swimming down . Her mind was filled with the image of Ling Xiao teaching her xian magic and cultivation . For the past 10 years, he was there every moment, accompanying her . Yan Hui continued to swim down like she wanted to spend every ounce of strength .
10 years of memories revolved through her mind like a carousal . She squeezed her eyes shut and let herself sink to the bottom . She stayed here until the suffocation made her chest hurt . Then Yan Hui shot up to the surface and gulped in a deep breath of air .
The sudden rush of fresh air turned her vision black for a split second .
Her head was above water, and then Yan Hui relaxed the rest of her body . She floated on top of the spring water like a withered leaf .
The night sky was filled with dazzling stars . Yan Hui closed her eyes and tried hard to clear her mind . Perhaps she was too tired because her mind really did clear not long afterwards . She quickly sank into darkness . Just a few moments later, Yan Hi saw a dark figure standing there in front of her .
This time after seeing that dark figure, she didn't try to chase after it . She just stood where she was and looked: "Head Senior Disciple . " Her voice was extremely quiet . "Sooner or later, I will avenge you . "
When Yan Hui said those words, the figure that was quietly standing there seemed to frown . His face was worried .
She didn't know what he was concerned about, but then suddenly her body swayed . Yan Hui immediately woke up .
She opened her eyes and saw she was wrapped in a very warm embrace .
Tian Yao's forehead was tightly furrowed . His lips were pinched together, and he didn't say a sound . It made Yan Hui concerned: "What is it?"
"I thought . . . . . . . . " Those two words spilled out of his mouth without control . Tian Yao realized he sounded anxious and immediately stopped talking . He turned his head and released Yan Hui . Tian Yao stood up . He patted at his clothes before mildly saying: "It's nothing . "
Yan Hui looked at the spring . She then looked at the awkward Tian Yao and guessed: "You thought I committed suicide?"
Tian Yao turned to leave: "It's good that it wasn't anything serious . "
"I won't do something like that . " Yan Hui didn't care that Tian Yao's back was facing her . She looked at the night sky . "I didn't do it the day you rescued me from Chen Xing Mountain, so from then on I won't do it either . I'm staying alive because I have more important things to do . "
Tian Yao's footsteps paused . He slightly turned his head to look out of the corner of his eyes at Yan Hui .
To his surprised, she was smiling . Yan Hui left the spring and walked toward him . Her tone was a little lighter: "As for you, were you always following me?"
Tian Yao lightly coughed: "You can continue soaking . The earlier you heal, the better . . . . . . . " Saying that, he took a step to avoid her, but his sleeves was lightly caught by Yan Hui . Tian Yao was a little stunned . He turned to look at Yan Hui .
"Although we both said there's no need to thank each other," Yan Hui gazed at Tian Yao as she talked . Her bright eyes seemed to reflect the multitude of stars . "But I still have to say it . I'm really thankful that at times like these, you are here . "
Tian Yao's eyes seemed to also be lit up with stars by her words .
Yan Hui released her hand and freely swung about: "You go back . I'm going to keep soaking . "
It wasn't until Tian Yao saw Yan Hui entering the spring that he snapped back to his senses . He silently turned and left . He entered the dark forest and under the starlight clenched his fist-------
Actually, those words clearly should have been said by him .
How thankful he was to meet a person named Yan Hui . How fortunate he was to meet that kind of person . . . . . . . .
Xian Ge returned to Qing Qiu, but there wasn't much for her to do every day . Yan Hui would go soak in the spring at night . In the day, she would study "Demon Bestowal" techniques with Tian Yao . There was only time around dusk for Yan Hui to chat and eat with Xian Ge .
Today, the two of them were eating dinner when once again Huan Xiao Yan came in through the window again . Her eyes lit up when she saw the table full of food: "I also want to eat! I've been hungry the whole day!" She reached her hand towards the food .

Yan Hui raised an eyebrow and smacked Huan Xiao Yan's hand with a pair of chopsticks . Yan Hui glanced at Huan Xiao Yan's face which looked like it was about to cry . However, Yan Hui took no pity: "I looked forward to this meal the entire day . If you dare to grab any, then I'm going to take off your ring . "
Huan Xiao Yan gritted her teeth and felt wronged: "I was also hungry the whole day and had nothing to eat . I'm feeling a little dizzy . "
As the two of them were talking, Xian Ge had already waved over an attendant to bring over another bowl and pair of chopsticks . She laughed: "The little illusion demon you raised has personality . I like it . I'm sure she's been hungry the entire day, so don't make things difficult for her . Let her eat with us . "
Yan Hui snorted: "I didn't eat at all because I've been practicing . Did this brat not eat because someone sewed your mouth shut? She probably played too much and forgot . . . . . . . "
"I didn't play!" Huan Xiao Yan's mouth was already filled with food . She chewed and talked at the same time: "I was listening to stories . "
Xian Ge smiled: "What story was it that you listened for the entire day?"
Huan Xiao Yan inhaled the food . Then she looked at Xian Ge with large eyes: "Miss Princess, I heard there's a man in Central Plains that was absolutely captivated by you . Now that you're back in Qing Qiu, he thinks you're dead . He's in a fugue every day and has no more dignity . "
Xian Ge's face immediately froze when she heard those words .
Yan Hui slapped down her chopsticks and reprimanded: "You need a spanking! Don't say garbage while we're eating!"
"I wasn't saying rubbish! They were all saying it!"
"Who is spreading this?!"
Xian Ge shook her head and stopped Yan Hui: "Let her speak . What else did they say?"
Huan Xiao Yan rubbed her nose: "They talked for a long time today . It's a long story starting from when Miss Princess left Central Plains . Then they said when Miss Princess returned to Qing Qiu, that man held your 'body' . It had already been several days but he didn't let people touch . He wouldn't let your body be buried nor for anyone to get close . He said he wanted to protect you . Your body was already rotting and smelling, but he wouldn't bury you . No matter how much other people begged, he didn't listen . He was deranged like he went crazy . " Huan Xiao Yan continued, "I heard he has one hundred concubines, but now he doesn't pay attention to a single one . "
Yan Hui turned to look at Xian Ge at those words . Xian Ge, who always had a smiling expression which confused others, now looked stricken . Her eyes were vacant, and she was absent-mindedly looking into the distance . Her lips were pressed into a flat line .

In the end, only Huan Xiao Yan ate with satisfaciton .
Yan Hui waited until the attendants cleared the table before asking: "Xian Ge, how do you feel after hearing Feng Qian Shuo acting like that?"
Xian Ge finally stirred after hearing Yan Hui's question . She mockingly smiled with bleakness: "Saying I wasn't touched would be a lie . But what's the use even if I was touched?" She cast her eyes down .
"Qi Jue Group is an intelligence organization which also does assassinations . With this kind of business, what Feng Qian Shuo hates the most is betrayal . The second is deception . And I exactly did his most two hated things . So . . . . . . . . . its better to let him think I really died . This way, the best image of me is kept in his heart . At least this way when he thinks of me in the future, he won't remember . . . . . . . . . . how repulsive I was . "
Yan Hui was silent for a moment before immediately laughing . She patted Xian Ge's shoulder: "Xian Ge, don't feel bad . I'm still here . "
Xian Ge smiled, but her face was still somewhat pained: "I'm not hurt . " She continued, "But I'm afraid he's hurting . "
Yan Hui placed her hand on Xian Ge's shoulder and lightly patted it several times . A long time passed before Yan Hui spoke up: "It'll get better . "
It didn't matter whether it was an injury of the body or heart, time would heal hurts as long as you didn't die .
The mood in Qing Qiu became more and more strained . Everyone knew a big battle was coming and was forming their own plans . Yan Hui didn't care about what others thought . She just blocked it all out and focused on cultivating .
Tian Yao turned to be an exceptionally good teacher . Under his guidance, Yan Hui's cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds .
Once again casing Propelling Sword, Yan Hui used demon magic to urged the sword on . She rocketed up into the sky and flew high for a long time before finally coming back down . She steadily landed in front of Tian Yao, face flushed with a healthy glow . Her shining eyes looked at Tian Yao: "I can fly again!"
When Tian Yao saw how happy Yan Hui was, he couldn't help also smiling: "You knew how to before, so you always will know how to . "
Yan Hui knew that . However, there just wasn't enough time . Her current cultivation level was still far from what it used to be . But if she continued to practice like this, then maybe she could over take her previous 10 years of cultivation in just one year .
Xian Ge and Yan Hui were eating dinner together again when Xian Ge lightly brought up: "Your appearance seems much more gorgeous . "

Yan Hui was stunned . She waited until she went to the healing spring before taking a look . That's when she discovered her eyebrows and eyes seemed to have changed a little after those 10 days of demon cultivation . It actually looked . . . . . . . . . .
More pretty and flirtatious .
Her body . . . . . . . . . . really seemed to suit demon cultivation .
Yan Hui concentrated entirely on cultivating . Tian Yao also didn't waste his time . He would mediate with Yan Hui every day . He was also circulating his inner breath . Without his dragon heart, Tian Yao's magic was very unstable . Since his heart was in Guang Han Sect, Tian Yao had to prepare himself to battle with Su Ying under these circumstances .
Tian Yao's concern was hidden away deep inside . He knew better than anyone that at his current strength with no one else to assist, a battle with Su Ying would be . . . . . . . . . . extremely difficult .
At this time, a suddenly piece of news came from San Chong Mountain . Its explosive contents caught Qing Qiu completely unprepared .
Guang Han Sect's Su Ying led several hundred xian cultivators, crossed over San Chong Mountain, and attacked into Qing Qiu . There was a battle at the southern part of the mountian with the demon cultivators . The demon guards were caught unawares and retreated in defeat .
What shocked everyone was that for every demon soldier Su Ying caught, she would rip out there neidan . Their corpses left abandoned in the wilderness .
The nine-tailed fox demon clan was incensed . Immediately, two princes were sent to the front lines . Qing Qiu lack manpower, so Xian Ge, who had been idle every since returned, was also sent along with her uncles to the front lines . They were to hold off Guang Han Sect in a surprised attack .
When Yan Hui heard this piece of news from Zhu Li, she became concerned over Xian Ge's safety . Tian Yao suddenly rapped on the table: "Are you certain Su Ying herself is leading the xian cultivators?"
Zhu Li frowned and was a little angry at those words: "Do you really thing we Qing Qiu are useless? If it wasn't for Su Ying, then our troops wouldn't be faced with defeat again and again . And their neidan wouldn't be ripped out!" He angrily slammed on the table . "Guang Han Sect's Su Ying is truly evil! If she falls into my hands . . . . . . . . . "
Without waiting for Zhu Li to finish, Tian Yao cut in: "Does Qing Qiu have more troops available to send out?"
Zhu Li was startled: "What are you doing to do?"
Cold light flickered in Tian Yao's eyes: "Enter Guang Han Sect and take back my dragon heart . "
