After Yan Li left, Shen Liuyun closed the door again. Then, as if she had escaped from the illusion, she became an old woman in her eighties.
She took two steps forward calmly and said softly, "Thank you, Master, for making this trip."
There was a screen on the left of the dressing table. An old man came out from behind it. His expression was full of love and heartache. He said, "Why do you have to do this? With my cultivation, I can only help you recover for half an hour. Now that you've lost all your lifespan, you'll die of exhaustion in half a year. How can I bear to see my son die before me? "
If Yan Li were here, he would find that this old man was Li Wei from the Imperial Hospital.
Shen Liuyun found it difficult to even stand. She sat in front of the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror. There was a moment of disappointment in her eyes. "I am unfilial … But, even if I have not lost my lifespan, as long as I am still in the cursed land, I will fall into old age sooner or later. It is just a matter of time …"
Li Wei said bitterly, "If you enter the Human Celestial Stage, you can increase your lifespan. I have found a way to restore your lifespan. I only hate that you have no self-respect …"
Shen Liuyun said faintly, "I am already indifferent to life and death. I am afraid that in this half a year, I will be seen by others like this. Master, do you have a way to restore my appearance? If so, I will have no regrets even if I die."
Li Wei sighed and said, "Unless you can break through the Celestial Stage within half a month. Once you enter the Cultivation Realm, the Source Sea will be opened, and the Stellar Source will be permanent. I have a way. With the help of medicine, it may take more than half a year. "
"I will go into seclusion immediately."
…
"He is back!"
No one knew who shouted, but everyone's gazes converged in one direction.
While waiting, tens of thousands of people had left, but it was only a small part. Hundreds of thousands of eyes were staring at one person. Although the distance was a little far, the person being stared at would be quite uncomfortable.
Of course, those who were used to being stared at were excluded.
Yan Li didn't have many similar experiences, but he was unusually indifferent to things that had nothing to do with him, so he didn't care about being stared at at at all.
"Where did this kid go?" Qu Youfeng expressionlessly asked the group of people who came back with Yan Li.
Lianhai Changjin had a strange look on her face as she said, "He went to Instructor Shen's Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu."
"What else is he going to do?" Qu Youfeng frowned.
His tone was filled with unspeakable disgust. Adding the word 'return' in this sentence had a completely different meaning. But how could Hai Changjin and the others know the inside story? They replied, "We talked for a while and then came back."
"Talk? What did he say? "Qu Youfeng asked.
Lianhai Changjin was a little surprised. She didn't know why the supervisor was so concerned. "We didn't dare to enter and could only wait outside. It must be a problem with our cultivation. After all, the opponent is not ordinary."
Ma Guanshan had a strange look on his face. "Entering Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu is one thing, but he even went to Instructor Shen's boudoir. What a scandal …"
"That's right, that's right. Even I haven't been to Sister Drifting Cloud's room." Tang Sanghua's face was full of jealousy.
"Hmph!" Qu Youfeng's cold snort startled everyone. They thought they had touched on a taboo. After all, Shen Liuyun's looks were so mesmerizing, it was hard to say that this supervisor didn't have any ideas.
But then he saw his expression relax a little. "At least he still has some conscience."
When everyone heard this, they were naturally confused.
Ma Guanshan didn't really care. He only sighed. "And then he walked out safely. It's a miracle."
"Why do you say that?" Lianhai Changjin hadn't been in Yongling for long and asked curiously.
Tang Sanghua giggled. "There's something you don't know. Drifting Cloud Xiao Zhu has always been a forbidden area that's comparable to the Imperial Palace. Without Sister Drifting Cloud's permission, no one is allowed to enter. There was once an Inner Yard instructor who didn't believe it. He picked a dark and windy night and tried to sneak in. In the end, he was found dead the next day. Everyone knew that it was Sister Drifting Cloud who did it, but no one could blame her. That idiot thought too highly of herself. "
While the audience was discussing, the scene on the stage was naturally a different one.
"You're back." Qin Yiqiu greeted them from the stage as if he was meeting an old friend, not an opponent who was about to fight to the death.
Yan Li leaped lightly onto the stage. He nodded and smiled. "Yes, I'm back."
Qin Yiqiu smiled and said, "Then let's begin."
"Please."
"Please."
However, neither of them moved.
As the two of them took their positions, the audience below the stage stopped their whispering. They watched quietly with anticipation, curiosity, disdain, and indifference.
However, neither of them moved.
They stared at each other calmly. Moreover, there was no smell of gunpowder between them. It was not even a stalemate. It was as if they were acquaintances who had accidentally bumped into each other. They both stopped in their tracks but did not speak.
Then, someone below the stage grew impatient and shouted, "Are you guys going to fight or not?"
"Let's begin. Some people are getting impatient." It was Yan Li's turn to speak.
"Please," Qin Yiqiu said with a smile.
"Please," Yan Li said with a smile.
However, both of them remained motionless as if they were statues that could speak.
"What the hell are these two idiots doing?" Not just the audience, even the people from the two Houses were getting impatient. Ma Guanshan cursed.
"Could it be that they're using no moves to win?" Lianhai Changjin said thoughtfully.
Ma Guanshan smirked. "Don't tell me that they've been fighting in their minds for three hundred rounds."
"He's half right," Qu Youfeng suddenly said.
Ma Guanshan asked, "What do you mean?"
Qu Youfeng said, "Both of them are looking for each other's flaws. Whoever reveals his flaw first loses the upper hand."
Ma Guanshan was shocked. "Yan Li is that good? I know how good Qin Yiqiu is, but since when did Yan Li reach that level? "
Qu Youfeng smirked. "To be precise, it's Yan Li who is looking for Qin Yiqiu's flaws."
"What do you mean?" Ma Guanshan was shocked.
Tang Sanghua mocked, "You don't even know that? Qin Yiqiu has already caught him, but Yan Li can't. That's why he doesn't dare to make a move. I don't know why Qin Yiqiu doesn't want to make a move. That's why they're staring at each other."
"I'm sure of one thing." Yan Li finally spoke. The crowd stopped their discussion.
"I don't think it's a good thing," Qin Yiqiu said with a smile.
"To me, it's true." Yan Li said with a smile, "From the moment I stepped onto the stage, I sensed the difference in our abilities. It won't take much effort to deal with me. That's what you think, right?"
Qin Yiqiu said honestly, "The difference between a martial artist and a martial artist is like a bottomless abyss. If Brother Yan already knows the result, I hope we can have a peaceful ending."
Yan Li's lips curled up. "But you'll lose this match for sure!"
