Chapter 235

"Xiaoyu."

Zhang Kun was silent for quite a while, the affection deliberately piled on that dark face cooling bit by bit.

His voice was no longer the tone of feigned heartiness from before, replaced by a low tone suppressing annoyance:

"Do you really know what the situation on Tianyun Peak is!"

"With the strength of your Tianqing Sect, it is absolutely impossible to share a single wisp of Primordial Qi!"

"Furthermore, I also heard that you offended Cheng Yuan of the Chiyan Sect terribly by disturbing the Law Enforcement Hall some time ago!"

"When the time comes, don't say you want to share the Primordial Qi; even going to the peak might put your life in danger!"

He paused, his copper-bell-like eyes staring tightly at Liu Qingyu.

"You must know that the situation on your Tianyun Peak is very special; four sects are squeezed onto the same mountain, and none of them obeys the other."

"Fighting over the Primordial Qi has long been the norm."

"The sect that moved into your Eastern Peak before, the Qingyun Sect—I can't remember the name of the leader."

"He was the one who didn't know life from death and wanted to share the Primordial Qi, but he was targeted by those three sects together and was almost beaten into a cripple on the peak!"

"Do you want to repeat the mistakes of the Qingyun Sect too!"

His tone suddenly slowed down a bit, carrying a self-righteous, coaxing tone:

"But as long as you are willing to be with me, none of this is a problem."

"Although I am from Spirit Ox Peak and cannot intervene in your Tianyun Peak's struggle for Primordial Qi."

"But with my strength and connections, helping you get a wisp of Primordial Qi isn't that easy?"

"Moreover, with me backing you up, no matter how rampant the Chiyan Sect is on Tianyun Peak, they definitely wouldn't dare to target you!"

"Wouldn't everything be better then!"

As he spoke, he reached out that pitch-black, large palm toward Liu Qingyu; his five fingers were thick and short like iron pliers, and the calluses on his palms were as thick as a layer of armor.

However, Liu Qingyu didn't even lift her eyelids.

She only stepped back a few steps with an expressionless face, widening the distance from his outstretched palm, her voice as cold as if she were dismissing a stranger she didn't know at all:

"Brother Zhang, don't trouble yourself with all this; please return."

Hearing this, Zhang Kun's outstretched palm froze instantly in mid-air.

He thought this argument had been carefully considered and had accurately found Liu Qingyu's biggest pain point.

She needed Primordial Qi, and with her own strength on Tianyun Peak, she couldn't get it at all.

As long as he grasped this point, no matter how cold or arrogant this woman was, she would have to bow her head.

He never imagined that this woman would still be as indifferent as ever.

It was as if everything he had just said was all nonsense.

Crack...

A crisp sound.

The blue stone he was stepping on was crushed into powder.

Zhang Kun's breathing became as heavy as a wild bull, his chest heaving violently.

The expression on that dark face changed from affection to annoyance, and from annoyance to a gloom suppressed to the extreme.

"Xiaoyu..."

His voice was hoarse and low, like an ultimatum squeezed from the depths of his throat.

"Think about it carefully."

"My, Iron Bull's, patience is also limited!"

By the end, his tone carried a hint of undisguised threat.

Liu Qingyu glanced at him coldly, her star-like eyes devoid of any extra emotion, only a indifferent aloofness.

She didn't even have the interest to respond, turned, and walked straight away, her moon-white long dress fluttering lightly in the water mist stirred up by the waterfall, her back cold and resolute.

Zhang Kun stood in place, watching that receding back, slowly withdrawing the palm that had been frozen in mid-air, his five fingers slowly clenching into a fist.

A ferocious smile appeared on that dark face.

Good, very good.

He wanted to see how long she could last on Tianyun Peak.

When Jiang Ye returned to the Tianyun Peak courtyard, he saw a graceful figure standing at the entrance from afar.

Liu Qingyu was still in a plain, elegant moon-white long dress, standing quietly in the twilight.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she turned her head, a faint smile appearing on that beautiful, peerless face: "So Elder Jiang went out; I was wondering why there was no response after calling for a long time."

Jiang Ye smiled faintly and raised the long, strip-shaped weapon wrapped tightly in cloth strips in his hand:

"I went down the mountain to pick up a weapon; it's rare for Liu Fengzhu Liu to come visit, please come in."

He knew Liu Qingyu's habits; she must have come to discuss something important.

"Went to pick up a weapon?!"

Liu Qingyu swept a glance at the long, thick, staff-shaped weapon wrapped in cloth strips in Jiang Ye's hand, a flash of strangeness crossing her star-like eyes.

What kind of weapon is this.

An iron staff, perhaps...

Although she was curious in her heart, she didn't ask much.

She only nodded slightly and followed him into the courtyard.

The two sat down at the stone table, and Jiang Ye unhurriedly brewed a pot of clear tea.

Amidst the curling tea fragrance, Liu Qingyu picked up her teacup and took a shallow sip, a look of solemnity appearing on that beautiful face:

"Elder Jiang, according to the news I've investigated these past few days."

"The Primordial Qi of this Tianyun Peak will probably be conceived and born in a little over a month."

"During this time, I have also gone to the peak to investigate several times."

"The Heaven and Earth spiritual energy there has begun to condense gradually; it is indeed a sign that the Primordial Qi is about to be conceived and born."

Jiang Ye nodded thoughtfully: "A little over a month, huh."

This amount of time was enough for him to temper his Metal-element true qi into Metal-element True Divine Qi.

And there would be quite a lot of time left to practice this "Spirit Monkey Shaking Heaven Staff" well.

Liu Qingyu put down her teacup, her tone sinking a bit more:

"Elder Jiang, the struggle for the Primordial Qi is of vital importance; you and I must prepare early."

It was no exaggeration to say that the struggle for the Primordial Qi in a little over a month would directly determine the fate of whether their Tianqing Sect could remain in the Upper Sect.

Jiang Ye could feel the huge pressure on Liu Qingyu's shoulders.

She was the leading Elder of the Tianqing Sect on this trip.

If they really returned empty-handed in the struggle for the Primordial Qi, not only would she be unable to report to the Sect Master, but the dozens of disciples behind her who were full of longing would also lose the qualifications to continue practicing in this martial arts holy land.

To make this partner of his relax a little, he smiled faintly with a calm expression:

"We do need to make some preparations."

"However, Liu Fengzhu Liu need not worry too much."

"During this time, just trouble yourself to pay close attention to the movements on the peak."

"Once the Primordial Qi is conceived and born, just inform me in time."

"At that time, Jiang has his own means to obtain this Primordial Qi."

Hearing this, Liu Qingyu was startled, a flash of unbelievable light crossing her star-like eyes, and she said slightly out of breath: "Elder Jiang... are you serious?!"

Jiang Ye was still in that calm and unruffled manner, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "Liu Fengzhu Liu, do you think Jiang is the kind of person who talks nonsense?"
