Liu Yiner held her small head with both hands as she looked at Yue Liusu silently with that tilted head of hers. Ever since she had woken up, she had felt that she was different, and although she was smiling, what she could not stop was the worry in her eyes.
She wanted to comfort him, but she kept on saying that she was fine. This made her very conflicted.
"Yin Er?" Seeing that Liu Yiner didn't feel good, Jing Yao walked forward to stand by her side and softly shouted.
"Eh?" Liu Yiner turned his head and saw Jing Yao's concerned expression.
"Come here." Jing Yao naturally grabbed Liu Yiner's hand, and quietly pulled her away from Yue Liusu.
"What's wrong?"
asked softly. From her position, one could still see Yue Liusu staring at the flame in front of him in a daze, as if he hadn't noticed her leaving from the start to the end.
Jing Yao's warm hand grabbed onto Liu Yiner's palm, her ice-cold eyes softened a little, "After I resolved the matter of the Jing Family, I request father's permission for me to marry you."
"Huh?" The bomb that Jing Yao threw was like a bomb that fiercely crashed in Liu Yiner's heart and exploded. He was caught unprepared for a moment.
"I …" Liu Yiner didn't even know what to reply. He lowered his head and remained silent, his ears red.
She did not expect Jing Yao to be so sudden, her mind buzzed for a moment, and she still had not recovered from the shock.
"You don't want to?" asked softly, he had never been so affectionate to others before, even Yue Liusu had never enjoyed such treatment.
"No, no!" Liu Yiner immediately exploded, as he anxiously tried to explain, "No, that's not it. "But …"
"But what?" Jing Yao asked very calmly.
He had thought about this matter for a long time, but never had he felt that there was anyone more compatible with him than her. He had always been loyal and unchanging when it came to matters of the heart, and it just so happened that he was willing to hand over his entire life to her.
"I, I, brother Yao … this is too sudden, I, I …"
"You don't want to?" Jing Yao's brain could only be described as a mess, she did not see Liu Yiner's blushing face, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl onto the ground and bury her head.
"I'm not, I'm willing!" Hearing that, Liu Yiner raised her head and pouted her neck to agree!
A gentle smile rose on Jing Yao's thin lips, and she gently embraced Liu Yiner into his large arms. "That's good …"
At this time, Yue Liusu's gaze stealthily turned in another direction, and what entered his eyes was the pair of people who were silently standing under the tree, trying to hide but were unable to.
"Hehehe …" She really admired herself, this silly guy, for being so good at acting! They thought she couldn't hear them? Ever since she had cultivated the spiritual energy, her hearing had risen to the point that she could hear anything within a hundred meters.
However, she still had to remain silent and pretend that she didn't know anything.
After Jing Qiao finished drinking the tea, he brought Xiao Chen and the little adorable girl back, who were currently working diligently, completely unaware of what had just happened.
"Wait a while longer. We'll be able to eat later." Jing Qiao cooked a huge pot, causing the fragrance to waft in the air, causing the two pets to become extremely greedy, drool dripping down.
At the side, Liu Yiner had been keeping his head down the entire time. When she thought about what Jing Yao had just said to her, she felt extremely embarrassed.
"Yin Er?"
"Sister-in-law?"
"Eh?" After the two of them called out to each other, Liu Yiner suddenly came back to her senses. Why is it …
"They are already eating. What are you daydreaming about? You have been hungry for a whole day, don't you think you should still be hungry? " Jing Qiao muttered. He really couldn't understand Liu Yiner's occasional absent-mindedness.
"Eh …" Liu Yiner was speechless. Was she in a daze for too long? Alright, she seemed, really, to be a little dazed.
Yue Liusu had always been quietly eating without saying a word, as he secretly smiled along the way.
It was night. Other than a bright bonfire in the forest, there was nothing else, there wasn't even the sound of a demonic beast.
Jing Yao stood there solemnly, telling Yue Liusu and the rest about the things they should take note of when entering.
"Tomorrow morning, gather your energy. We need to focus from Profound Sky Continent to Upper Heaven Path safely, so we all need to focus fully on our defense. Don't be fooled by the illusionary flowers inside, and definitely don't leave alone. It is said that on the road from Profound Sky Continent to Upper Heaven Path, it's like a maze.
"Is it that serious?" Jing Qiao muttered in his heart. He remembered that when he escaped from the Upper Heaven Path back then, he had fallen into the demonic beast Forest in the blink of an eye.
Jing Qiao had obviously forgotten, at that time, it was because of the sacrifice of others that they were able to use the formation to teleport them to the Profound Sky Continent.
Now that they had no Jing Family to rely on, and the formations of Jing Family were even more impossible to teleport, they could only go through the normal entrances.
"Yes, everyone rest early and rest up. Tomorrow, we will begin a new step." Yue Liusu said as she stood up first. With a tap of her feet, her figure disappeared into the dense tree.
She could find a place to rest tonight. Ever since she started cultivating the spiritual energy, she didn't seem to be addicted to sleep, and not sleeping the entire night even seemed to affect her movements. However, in order to avoid thinking about Shen Jueming in this lonely time, she chose to sleep.
With both hands behind her head, she gazed up at the starry sky, closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep.
Early morning of the second day, Yue Liusu suddenly opened his eyes, his body flickered and he jumped down from the tree.
"Morning?" Jing Qiao had just woken up and built a bonfire, preparing to make some porridge.
"Right." Yue Liusu replied.
Jing Qiao did not reply, he realized that Yue Liusu had been quiet recently? As for what exactly was different, he was still a little unsure.
"Big sister, look, this is the wild fruit Xiao Chen brought little cutie to find early in the morning. It's so sweet, so sweet." The moment Xiao Chen returned, he saw Yue Liusu sitting alone in front of the bonfire in silence, with lonely eyes.
"Good girl, but don't run too far away. Be careful not to get caught by the bad guys." Yue Liusu said.
"Yeah, I know. I just walked around." Xiao Chen sat down and started to eat the wild fruits.
The fiery red sun rose just in time to shine on Yue Liusu's small face. Her friends slowly gathered together.
After having their breakfast, the group of people set off again. This time, they were going to an extremely dangerous place. They needed to prepare everything they could to deal with the dangers.
Jing Yao stopped one kilometer away from the imperial city.
In their position, he could still see the gates of the Imperial City. In his early years, he had gone to various battlefields with his father, so he knew that there was usually an entrance that led to the Upper Heaven Path in each city. By comparing the directions, he could accurately determine the exact location.
"This is the place."
"Eh?" Yue Liusu looked around and only saw the sun which had just risen from the left. There was nothing strange about it.
"You guys take two steps back first." Jing Yao said, Yue Liusu and the rest followed, retreating about five meters back.
At this time, Jing Yao was standing on the spot with his back facing the imperial city, and his hands had formed a complex seal, causing a green light to blossom on his fingertips.
"This is?" Yue Liusu squinted and saw the complicated seal in Jing Yao's hands that had stars shining on it. He seemed to have realized something.
"spiritual energy, brother Yao is currently at the fourth level of the Green Spirit Realm, amongst the younger generation of Upper Heaven Path, his cultivation speed is the best. Because I have always been a playboy, the chances of me following father out to explore the world was given to brother Yao.
As he talked, he recalled those unpleasant memories, and Jing Qiao became a little sad.
"Ah!" Look at brother Yao. " Liu Yiner, who was standing at the side, quickly shifted his attention away from Jing Qiao.
Yue Liusu's gaze immediately locked onto Jing Yao's figure, only to see that the complex hand seal in his hand did not disappear, but gradually condensed into a physical entity.
"This is?" Yue Liusu was slightly surprised, because she saw an almost identical seal within the formation Wu Qingcheng was using. The only difference was that Wu Qingcheng's formation was like a heavenly prison, locking the person inside it so that no one could escape, while Jing Yao's was used to open the entrance between the two realms.
"When we were at the Upper Heaven Path, my clan had always been hidden from the world, which was why we haven't seen it before." Liu Yiner replied.
"To seal? I've read the book before, but I haven't recorded anything down. It seems to be a kind of formation created for the sake of setting up a formation." Jing Qiao answered in a daze, he had forgotten the specifics, but it was more or less like this.
Right at this moment, Jing Yao's hand seal was completed. His hands turned in another direction and he forcefully pulled away from the seal! A blazing star appeared in front of everyone! The formation he had formed just now instantly took physical form! It instantly appeared under Jing Yao's feet!
A violent gust of wind blew past, causing Yue Liusu and the rest to almost be unable to open their eyes.
Yue Liusu squinted his eyes, only to see a faint green light slowly appearing from beneath Jing Yao's feet, in a few seconds it had risen from the ground at the center of the array formation! The spectacular scene astounded her!
"Come in!" Jing Qiao bellowed, and called Yue Liusu and the rest in!
Once they heard, they quickly ran towards Jing Yao, and when they were all inside the array, he put away the hand seals.
Only when Yue Liusu entered the array did he see what was in front of him! She opened her eyes wide. What she saw was clearly not the scene she saw just now. It was a scene that was as lively as an illusion.
"The illusory figure that appeared before my eyes, is Upper Heaven Path." Jing Yao explained.
