After becoming a Taoist partner with my senior sister, my master changed

Chapter 289 Autumn

"Winter, how many autumns has this been?"

Qing Shu's gaze fell on the woman in white, her eyes calm.

The woman in white, known as Dong, bowed slightly, her voice as cold as ice: "Master, this is the third one."

Her words were concise and without any unnecessary emotion, as if she was describing just an insignificant matter.

"The war is imminent, and Qin Lang needs someone to protect him at all times. I'm too lazy to replace him. You should know what to do, right?"

Qing Shu gently raised her hand and fiddled with a strand of hair that was hanging down. Her eyes seemed lazy, but they revealed an unquestionable ruthlessness.

"The servant understands."

Qiu was surprised and delighted, and a hint of relief at surviving the disaster flashed in his eyes.

"What about you?" Qing Shu glanced coldly at the remaining three people.

"We understand!" the three said in unison, their voices filled with awe and fear.

"Chun stays, the rest of you leave."

After Qingshu finished speaking, Xia and Dong looked calm, bowed respectfully, and left the room slowly but quickly.

Qiu looked at Chun beside him with complicated eyes, then slowly stood up, bowed respectfully, and turned to leave.

The room instantly became quiet, with only Haru kneeling there.

"Ji Youmeng, the daughter of the leader of Liuyun Sect. Later, due to the enemy, the sect was massacred. Only she and her junior sister Shangguan Yushang, who were on a mission outside, survived." Qingshu's tone was calm, as if she was narrating a common occurrence.

"Is this why you want to protect Qiu?"

Her eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at Chun, as if she wanted to see through his inner thoughts.

"This servant is willing to exchange her life for yours."

Chun's tone was gentle but resolute. He raised his head and looked at Qingshu with a firm gaze.

"Fulong Country is currently facing natural disasters and internal strife. Hualou needs someone to take charge. After this battle, if you are still alive, you will go there to reflect for three years."

Qingshu's expression was calm, but her tone left no room for doubt.

"Yes!"

Chun kowtowed heavily, then slowly stood up and turned to leave.

The room was once again shrouded in dead silence, with only the breeze outside the window occasionally brushing the window lattice, making a slight sound.

Qing Shu leaned lazily on the soft couch, her scallion-white fingers gently stroking the warm jade pendant in her hand.

Her eyes gradually became blurred, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a faint smile.

My thoughts were like a runaway horse, drifting back to the difficult time with Qin Lang.

At that time, they were in the same situation as Chun and Qiu. Their sect was destroyed and they were in a difficult situation. Qin Lang took her, who was sick, to look for a doctor everywhere.

But even so, the two hearts are closely dependent on each other and support each other, and those difficult days are full of warmth.

But things in the world are unpredictable. Now, Qin Lang's heart is no longer tilted towards her alone. Those beautiful women have quietly entered his world and taken away his attention and tenderness.

Thinking of this, Qing Shu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a hint of chill emanated from her body, but in a flash, she returned to her calm and composed look.

It doesn't matter, she will quietly win Qin Lang back little by little, step by step, and make his world revolve around her again.

……

The Bi Bo Boat, the largest warship in the Qingluan Continent, is now sailing slowly in the sky.

"Master, why do you look so sad?"

Ling Yuexi walked briskly to Li Yue, who was looking up at the moon.

"Looking gloomy? Maybe it's because of the upcoming war?"

Li Yue slowly withdrew her gaze from the distant bright moon.

She shook her head slightly, her expression revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness. In truth, she couldn't explain why she felt so restless for no reason, as if she were in a tangled mess that couldn't be cut or sorted out.

"But Master looks like a young girl in love from a storybook, huh?"

Ling Yuexi blinked her big watery eyes, with a sly smile on her lips.

But before he could laugh for two seconds, there was a crisp "bang" sound.

"Hey, Master, what are you doing?!"

Ling Yuexi stopped laughing instantly, covered her head with her hands, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

"Xiao Linchuan's alchemy is 100% guaranteed to have elixir patterns. He has special spiritual energy, so I don't blame you. But he started learning alchemy later than you, and now he can refine fifth-grade elixirs like you. Do you think you should fight?"

Li Yue pretended to be angry and tapped Ling Yuexi's head with her finger, but there was a trace of panic in her eyes that she herself was not aware of.

"Master, are you starting to dislike your disciple now? The storybook is right. When you have a new love, you can't stand your old love."

Ling Yuexi pretended to be sad, her tone was gloomy, and she walked towards the attic while muttering to herself.

However, before she could take a few steps, there was another crisp "bang" sound. This time, Li Yue had a small jade ruler in her hand and tapped it lightly on Ling Yuexi's head.

"Ouch, Master, I was wrong."

Ling Yuexi covered her head with her hands and looked back at Li Yue pitifully. Her eyes seemed to be filled with clear springs, as if tears were about to burst out in the next second.

"Go make the elixir. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll burn your storybook."

Li Yue pretended to be fierce, with a stern face, pointing in the direction of the alchemy room.

"Oh, let's go."

Ling Yuexi muttered softly as she reluctantly moved towards the alchemy room.

Li Yue naturally heard Ling Yuexi's muttering clearly, but she acted as if she didn't hear it. Her expression was calm, as if she really didn't hear it. She slowly raised her head again and looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky.

The moonlight shone on her face, reflecting a softness, but also hiding a hint of melancholy that was difficult for others to detect.

Her thoughts seemed to drift away with the moonlight. Whether she was worried about the upcoming war, or was upset by Ling Yuexi's inadvertent mention of "a young girl in love", perhaps only she knew.

……

In the Qingluan Continent where magical weapons abound, Yunque Pavilion can be considered an outlier.

Its name is elegant, but also a bit unrealistic.

This magic weapon can only transform into an exquisite attic with decent defense capabilities, and has no other mysterious uses.

Although it is a terrestrial magic weapon, its useless function has caused it to be regarded as one of the most useless terrestrial magic weapons by practitioners.

Only those who have so many spirit stones that they don’t know how to spend them will put them in their pockets.

In the eyes of everyone, although Yunque Pavilion is known as a ground-grade magic weapon, it is far less practical than some Xuan-grade or even Huang-grade magic weapons with real functions.

Inside the Yunque Pavilion.

Xu Hanyi, who had just finished carefully examining Lin Chuan's soul with Jiang Wanying, was now lying lazily beside Lin Chuan.

Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands sticking to her cheeks. Her fair face was slightly flushed, and her breath was a little messy.

"Master, it's my turn to check your and Senior Sister's spirits."

Lin Chuan's mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.

"Rebel... traitor, please help Ying'er check. I'm... I'm tired."

When Xu Hanyi heard this, his expression instantly became panicked. After speaking incoherently, he ran away in panic like a frightened deer, leaving Lin Chuan and Jiang Wanying looking at each other in bewilderment.
