Qin Yichen was awakened by her calling him 'benefactor'.
This made him realize that the woman in front of him was not his current master.
He calmed himself down and sized up his beautiful, youthful master. He realized that his master had been a great beauty when she was young.
Her hair was messy, her long eyelashes were trembling, and her eyes seemed to be misty. Her red lips and jade-like teeth were shining with a sparkling luster. Her neck was slender, and her skin was smooth and jade-like. Her facial features were exquisite, and her face was peerlessly beautiful. Her figure was hazy, and it was especially eye-catching, as if something was hidden inside.
Qin Yichen averted his gaze after a single glance. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Zhao Yarou's clothes had been cut open by a sharp weapon and her chest was faintly visible.
"I … I'll go out and see if they've caught up."
Qin Yichen felt his throat go dry. He found an excuse and walked out. As he walked out, he placed a set of his own clothes to the side.
Zhao Yarou did not know what he was trying to do. However, as a gust of wind blew in, she felt a chill and realized that something was wrong with her body.
Instantly, her pretty face turned bright red.
After confirming that Qin Yichen had left, she slowly stood up and picked up the set of men's clothes. After a moment of hesitation, she changed into it.
Too considerate.
Zhao Yarou did not understand why this strange man was so nice to her.
After walking out of the cave, Qin Yichen's spiritual power swept out, and he could see the situation in the surrounding area of more than ten miles. Perhaps because he had covered up his tracks perfectly, there were no unusual movements nearby.
"Thank goodness they didn't catch up. However, I can't stay here for long. If I get surrounded again, it'll be troublesome."
Qin Yichen muttered to himself as he surveyed his surroundings again.
If it was just him alone, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, the master of his previous life was only a Spirit Realm Alchemist. In a battle between Martial Kings, as long as he wasn't careful, some of the aftershocks would be enough to kill him.
About a quarter of an hour later, after confirming that the surrounding environment was safe, Qin Yichen also casually killed a magical beast in the forest. After cutting a few pieces of fresh meat, he once again rushed into the cave.
At this time, Zhao Yarou had already changed her clothes. Although the men's clothes were much looser, Zhao Yarou wore them with a different style.
When she saw Qin Yichen enter, Zhao Yarou seemed to remember her previous loss of composure and a red blush climbed up her cheeks.
Seeing Zhao Yarou's shy face, Qin Yichen quickly looked away. He took out some fresh meat and sat in front of the fire to roast it. Are you better? "
"Yes, thank you, Benefactor." Zhao Yarou tugged at her sleeve as she replied softly.
"My name is Qin Yichen."
Qin Yichen chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, you can call me by my name."
"Mr Qin …" Zhao Yarou nodded slightly and called out softly.
As they spoke, Qin Yichen had already roasted several pieces of fresh meat. He casually handed a piece to Zhao Yarou.
Compared to Qin Yichen's wolfing down of food, Zhao Yarou's eating style was undoubtedly many times more elegant. Her elegant manner of chewing and swallowing made Qin Yichen feel like a savage.
"Are you an alchemist?"
Zhao Yarou's gaze swept over Qin Yichen. She seemed to remember the pill she had consumed and asked curiously.
"Yes, I guess so."
Qin Yichen tore off another piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth as he answered vaguely.
To be more precise, he was already a human alchemist!
"Thank you for saving my life. If you're willing, I can recommend you to Shifang Dan Province when we return."
Zhao Yarou bit her red lips. A trace of reluctance flashed through her eyes, but she still spoke resolutely.
"Shifang Dan Province?"
Qin Yichen paused for a moment before shaking his head.
Zhao Yarou's eyes flashed with astonishment when she saw Qin Yichen reject her good intentions.
She had recommended him to Shifang Dan Province and he had actually rejected her? Did he not know what kind of place Shifang Dan Province was?
How many outstanding alchemists in duchies had tried to curry favor with her in order to obtain a recommendation?
"With your Zhao family's strength, you should only have one recommendation every ten years, right?" Qin Yichen asked with a smile.
Zhao Yarou nodded noncommittally when she heard Qin Yichen's words.
Qin Yichen chuckled and continued, "And the Zhao family has already decided to give this recommendation to you. That's why this assassination attempt happened, right?"
"How do you know?"
Zhao Yarou cried out in surprise. A trace of caution flashed through her eyes. However, when she recalled that it was him who had saved her, her surprise faded.
"As expected …"
Qin Yichen muttered to himself. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
This was the assassination attempt that Zhao Yarou had told him about in his previous life.
Zhao Yarou's Zhao family was located in a region filled with sects and clans. In this region, there were dozens to hundreds of countries like the Twilight Duchy.
The rulers of this region were the three sects and one prefecture.
The Dong Lin Sect, Xi Ge Sect, North Nether Sect, and one prefecture were the Shifang Dan Province that Zhao Yarou had mentioned.
It was said that the three top sects all had experts who had surpassed the Martial King Realm. In terms of martial strength, they could easily destroy a duchy.
Shifang Dan Province's status was somewhat superior.
Although their overall strength was inferior to the three top sects, they were still able to produce alchemists. Alchemists were the training grounds for many outstanding alchemists in this region. It was an existence similar to the Pill Assembly in the Twilight Duchy. They weren't the strongest, but their rallying power was unquestionable.
Compared to the three top sects, Shifang Dan Province was more revered. This was because over the countless years, the top sects had changed many times. Only Shifang Dan Province remained unchanged.
From this, one could see the status of Shifang Dan Province in this region.
Zhao Yarou's family was only a second-rate faction in this region. If it weren't for the fact that her family had entered Shifang Dan Province, they wouldn't even have a recommendation.
However, this recommendation caused countless factions that were similar to the Zhao family to be envious and fearful. Moreover, the alchemy talent that Zhao Yarou had displayed caused some of the Zhao family's old enemies to be incomparably fearful. This was the reason why she had been intercepted and killed.
The people who had tried to assassinate Zhao Yarou were the Zhao family's number one feud … the Xiang family!
In this area, the Xiang Clan was one of the first-rate clans. Perhaps they had seen Zhao Yarou's potential and were afraid that she would become a formidable enemy in the future. That was why they had done this.
