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 la.s.s 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 n.o.bility 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 la.s.s'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.”
