Chapter 418: Ch 418 | The Second one wakes up

Ye Tian Yun saw Jun Xie go outside and waited for Xiao Ming to enter.

Not that he wanted to see his face or talk, rather, Ye Tian Yun was more curious about the favourability from Xiao Ming.

'If he considers me as an enemy… there's no way in hell I would allow him to reach Gracious Sword Sect alive.'

Suddenly, the curtains moved once again and a smiling young man's face peeked inside.

He gave a slight nod to Ye Tian Yun and turned towards Yuan Shuchun, beaming with happiness he said, "Miss Me!?"

Yuan Shuchun rolled her eyes and ignored Xiao Ming's existence.

Xiao Ming wasn't affected by her coldness, rather he was happy as long as he wasn't kicked and forced to sit outside.

"Baby, I missed you so much! Sigh, with every passing tree on the way, it felt as if a year passed by. Time goes so slow when you're not in my eyesight… sigh…"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head hearing those words.

However, he wasn't bothered much. In fact, he was a bit confused right now.

It was because of the prompt above Xiao Ming's head.

[Xiao Ming. 3 Star Favourability. Wants to be your friend to get close to Yuan Shuchun.]

'This guy… does he only care about Yuan Shuchun now?'

Ye Tian Yun was confused by this. 

The Xiao Ming he knew wouldn't simply give up on everything for the sake of love. Xiao Ming, he knew, was self-centered and power-hungry.

'But this guy is just single-minded towards Yuan Shuchun…'

'Did something else happen that I am unaware of?'

Unfortunately, Ye Tian Yun or anyone else didn't know about Xiao Ming's encounter with his future self and how it had affected his thoughts and way of seeing things.

'Well, who cares. As long as he doesn't consider me an enemy, he's safe.'

Ye Tian Yun didn't feel like Xiao Ming was of any importance now. He had already taken the Token Of Fate from the latter and even though he wanted to kill Xiao Ming for stabbing him in his previous life, well, now it wasn't even worth it.

Letting out a long breath, Ye Tian Yun once again focused on cultivation.

His next goal was to reach the Core Formation Realm, but for that, he wanted to get to the very peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

'I need to assess my situation thoroughly.'

Suddenly, he asked Wang Yao, 'When will you tell me about that strange space? I know you are hiding things from me at that time, and only told me to focus on cultivation. Now that most of the troublesome things are over, let's discuss it.'

Wang Yao shook his head, "Not now. I will tell you when we start focusing on the Emblem Of TIme. For now, just wait till you get back to the Gracious Sword Sect."

Ye Tian Yun frowned but didn't say anything else.

He was in no hurry.

There was still three weeks' time left.

'Three weeks will be enough for me to prepare myself.'

Ye Tian Yun inwardly nodded.

Just then, he noticed something weird.

Opening his eyes, he looked at the front, and then he glanced at his side and shook his head.

Xiao Ming was still flirting with Yuan Shuchun.

And Yuan Shuchun was not having any of his bullshit.

'But that is not important…'

The thing or more specifically, the person who attracted his attention was none other than Wu Qingwu.

She had woken up.

'Is she trying to fake her unconsciousness?'

Even though she had woken up and was alert to her surroundings, she wasn't moving or showing any signs of her exact state.

Surprisingly, Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming, both in the Middle stages of Qi Stabilization Realm, didn't sense the change in her breathing yet.

'Since I am in the Foundation Establishment Stage, it's easier for me.'

With higher cultivation, other senses also increased exponentially.

'Should I reveal her?'

Ye Tian Yun couldn't help but have a playful smile on his face.

Earlier he wanted to witness the drama when Wu Qingwu woke up in Jun Xie's arms; unfortunately, Jun Xie woke up first and unknowingly saved his own life.

And now, Wu Qingwu was lying on the ground.

Fully alert, but after the initial change in breathing, everything returned to normal.

She was feeling a bit smug that none of the three kidnappers were able to detect her.

She could tell this from their reactions, even though her eyes were still closed.

There were many questions floating in her head, but she had to wait.

'What happened after I was kicked?… damn that bastard… he kicked me too hard, I lost consciousness after getting slapped on the wall.'

The most important question right now was who were these people around her.

'I am in a carriage… but whose carriage? Did those guards fail? But that shouldn't be possible - they were part of Wu's Secret Service. No one had any idea about their cultivation… sigh, I need answers…'

Even though Wu Qingwu wanted the answers, she wasn't planning to make a move just yet.

But to her shock, something happened in the next moment that wiped the smugness over her face.

"Since you're awake, you should get up and sit. Lying down like this will only hurt your back."

Wu Qingwu didn't know who spoke, but she knew the general direction the words came from.

Opening her eyes, she sat up.

Her actions attracted Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming's attention.

"Oh? You woke up!?" Xiao Ming smiled at her, "How are you feeling now? Is everything alright? Are you hurt somewhere?"

His questions confused her a bit.

'Didn't someone already reveal that I am awake? Why are they acting surprised?'

'Hm? Oh, wait… No! Don't tell me...!'

In the next instant, Wu Qingwu's face paled as she turned her head towards Ye Tian Yun in shock.

'Spirit Message! He communicated directly to my mind!'

'Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator!'
