Chapter 83 A Tigers Roar, a Wolfs Howl I (1/2)

Seeing the tree completely empty, Qingyan seemed to have taken a load off her mind. If her intuition just now was correct, then the one that appeared on the tree earlier must be Yaochi.

And if you were to ask why Qingyan was so sure, it was mostly because Yaochi carried an innate scent on him. This scent, others were unable to sense it, but she could still sense it.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. Among the four guardians of the Thousand Beast Pavilion, the only one she regarded highly was the Azure Dragon alone. The name Yaochi was also bestowed onto him by Qilian Qingyan. And with his status as her protector, he also became Qilian Qingyan's personal imperial bodyguard.

But unlike Fengqing, who was considered a shadow guard, Yaochi followed by her side closely.

Her martial art skills were not as good as theirs, so Yaochi would patiently teach her mind techniques to refine her skills.

To Qilian Qingyan, Yaochi wasn't just a simple bodyguard, but rather his existence was like that of an older brother to her.

Yet in the end, when she was faced with a predicament, she was unwilling to drag him down with her. Because in her eyes, only Yaochi was able to bring the entire Thousand Beast Pavilion under control.

But she'd never thought that it would become a regret that Yaochi was unwilling to put down.

And, to an assassin, resolve was a very good thing.

But she knew that in the end, Qilian Qingyan was no more. Whether or not Yaochi would become her close bodyguard now, she didn't know.

She was Su Qingyan. The former Qilian Qingyan was no longer here.

Furthermore, she didn't how to explain all this to Yaochi. The only thing she could do was to quietly wait for an opportunity to arrive. Perhaps, when she becomes the second Thousand Beast Pavilion Master, will everything finally have change.
