Fortunately, it was night and extremely dark. One could only vaguely make out the outline of the other person. Otherwise, if Qin Beixuan saw his face blush again in an embarrassing way, that would never do.
Suddenly, Zhao Chen'an had an idea. Night... This was a perfect time! So, as he walked side by side with Qin Beixuan, he started to hatch a naughty plan.
When they reached a deserted path with bamboo planted on both sides, Zhao Chen'an's "fox tail" showed up.
"Ah!" Suddenly, Zhao Chen'an staggered and plopped down on the ground. He covered his foot and looked at Qin Beixuan tearfully. "Senior brother, my foot suddenly hurts so much."
"Don't move. Let me take a look." Qin Beixuan quickly squatted down and reached for Zhao Chen'an's foot.
Where Qin Beixuan couldn't see, Zhao Chen'an suddenly hooked the corner of his lips smugly. He leaned backward and suddenly grabbed the front of Qin Beixuan's robe, pulling the other person down with him.
Qin Beixuan placed one hand beside Zhao Chen'an's head and held the other on Zhao Chen'an's waist. His whole body was pressing down on Zhao Chen'an.
Zhao Chen'an's eyes showed a bit of panic. Looking at Qin Beixuan's face so close, his heart unconsciously started beating much faster.
This wasn't right... Shouldn't I be the one pinning him down?!
Zhao Chen'an reached out and pushed Qin Beixuan, only to find that this guy... was simply immovable. Oh my god!!
Zhao Chen'an felt like crying but had no tears.
Qin Beixuan watched the extremely expressive Zhao Chen'an beneath him with great interest. With a smile on his lips, he whispered, "What do you want to do?"
Looking at Qin Beixuan's charming expression, Zhao Chen'an really had a hard time imagining that his senior brother was truly an upright man.
"I..." I want to kiss you.
Zhao Chen'an bit his lip. How could he possibly say such a thing out loud!
Qin Beixuan watched the innocent - looking Zhao Chen'an who wanted to say something but couldn't bring himself to speak. For some reason, he actually thought Zhao Chen'an was a bit cute.
So Qin Beixuan decided not to tease him anymore. He simply got up and let the other person go.
Once liberated, Zhao Chen'an quickly scrambled up from the ground. This was really a case of hurting the enemy but also hurting himself!
Qin Beixuan watched Zhao Chen'an, who was moving around quite freely, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Zhao Chen'an, weren't you saying your foot hurt?"
Huh?
It took Zhao Chen'an two seconds to react. Then he remembered that he had pretended to have a foot - ache just to flirt with Qin Beixuan.
So...
"Ouch!" Zhao Chen'an deliberately staggered as if he was about to fall into Qin Beixuan's arms.
Although Qin Beixuan knew that the other person was faking it, he still couldn't help but catch him. He really had no idea what to do with Zhao Chen'an.
Tap - tap - tap—
At this moment, a series of footsteps stopped not far away. Suddenly, a cluster of firelight appeared.
It was a Flaming Talisman.
The leader at the edge of the bamboo forest held the talisman and shouted, "Who's there! Come out!"
Zhao Chen'an was startled. His hand unconsciously tightened on the front of Qin Beixuan's robe.
Qin Beixuan noticed the subtle change in the person in his arms. He put his arm around Zhao Chen'an's waist and silently made a spell gesture.
By now, the leader had walked in. He shone the Flaming Talisman all around but found no sign of anyone.
Could he have been seeing things?
Just as the leader was about to look further, one of his subordinates joked, "Boss, stop being so paranoid all the time. Every part of the Hun Tian Palace is heavily guarded. Not even a mouse can get in. Where are there any assassins?"
"You're right. Let's go check other places." The leader extinguished the Flaming Talisman and got up to leave.
After they left, Qin Beixuan also let go of Zhao Chen'an.
At that time, Qin Beixuan had used the Invisibility Spell to avoid the patrolmen's notice and protect both himself and Zhao Chen'an from being discovered.
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Chen'an's palms. It had been so exciting just now. When that person waved the Flaming Talisman in front of his eyes, Zhao Chen'an thought several times that they were doomed.
Looking at the frightened young man in front of him, Qin Beixuan actually had an illusion that he wanted to pull the other person into his arms and protect him.
Qin Beixuan said, "My cultivation is far above these people. They can't see through the Invisibility Spell."
So that's why... No wonder the man had almost shoved the talisman in Zhao Chen'an's face but still hadn't seen him.
"What else can you do?" Zhao Chen'an asked.
Qin Beixuan said proudly, "I can do a lot. Do you want to discover them slowly?"
Zhao Chen'an didn't want to give him the chance to let him discover things slowly. So he asked firmly, "Can you do the Qiankun Shift?"
Qin Beixuan replied, "Yes."
When Zhao Chen'an looked at Qin Beixuan, his eyes sparkled. This was like finding a treasure. He directly grabbed Qin Beixuan's hand.
With a big smile on his face, Zhao Chen'an held Qin Beixuan's hand and pleaded, "Senior brother, you're so kind. You'll definitely help me, right? Besides, I only know how to control fire. I don't know any of these esoteric arts... Didn't you just say you'd accompany me?"
Qin Beixuan was really worn out by Zhao Chen'an.
The senior brother on Purple Star Mountain with the worst temper was actually so obedient in front of Zhao Chen'an. If the disciples on Purple Star Mountain saw this, their jaws would drop!
"Where do you want to go?" Qin Beixuan asked.
Zhao Chen'an rubbed his hands and pointed at a building in the distance. "Yi Huachi's residence."
"No problem," Qin Beixuan agreed without hesitation. "But... I'm not very good at the Qiankun Shift. I'm afraid I might accidentally drop you somewhere, and that would be dangerous."
Zhao Chen'an didn't even think there was anything wrong with Qin Beixuan's words. After all, the senior brother on Purple Star Mountain had cultivation only second to Ji Qingchen and far surpassed all the elders. How could he not know the Qiankun Shift?!!
Probably only Zhao Chen'an would believe this.
"What do I need to do then?" Zhao Chen'an looked a bit troubled.
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Qin Beixuan immediately said, "Well, just hold on to me tightly. Even if we fall, we'll fall together, so we can take care of each other."
Zhao Chen'an deeply felt that Qin Beixuan was so kind. He was so touched that he decided he must repay Qin Beixuan well in the future. "Senior brother, you're so good."
Qin Beixuan didn't answer. Instead, he pulled Zhao Chen'an closer and said, "Hold on to me tightly. I'll take you there."
Without saying a word, Zhao Chen'an reached out and hooked his arms around Qin Beixuan's neck. He was extremely obedient.
Qin Beixuan secretly thought in his heart: This fool.
One had to admit that the Qiankun Shift was really useful. In just a few seconds, Zhao Chen'an reached his destination.
It was already the Hai hour, which, according to modern timekeeping, was between 9 p.m. and 11 p.m. At this time, however, Yi Huachi's room was brightly lit.
It was very strange, but it was possible that Yi Huachi was afraid of ghosts. Zhao Chen'an thought to himself that after all, he had done a lot of bad things. People who don't do bad things aren't afraid of ghosts knocking on their doors.
Seeing that Zhao Chen'an was staring blankly at the roof, Qin Beixuan thought he didn't know how to lift the roof tiles. So Qin Beixuan lifted the roof tiles for Zhao Chen'an himself and waved, "Come here."
Zhao Chen'an walked over as he was told. He and Qin Beixuan squeezed together, peeping at all the actions of the people in the room.
They saw Yi Huachi take a book off the bookshelf. Zhao Chen'an was far away, but he could already tell that the book was quite old.
Zhao Chen'an squinted his eyes and stared intently at the book in Yi Huachi's hand, determined to figure it out. His intuition told him that this book must be problematic!
