Chapter 284: How Do You Feel?

Qian Jueshan nevertheless insisted on taking her pulse.

Yuan Yao could only offer her own hand, letting her master check her pulse.

"Your breath is a little weak; rest and recuperate a bit." Qian Jueshan's voice was like a flowing stream, gentle and pleasant.

Yuan Yao nodded.

Immediately, she happily said, "Master, I have formed Golden Core!"

"Excellent." Qian Jueshan's lips curled slightly; in fact, the moment he saw her, he had already sensed that she had formed Golden Core, and the vital energy emanating from her whole body became even more substantial.

She must have grown greatly in the Flowing Light Secret Realm.

"Master, how is Third Senior Brother doing now?"

"He has already stabilized."

"Then that's good." Yuan Yao's hanging heart also relaxed.

After first confirming that Third Senior Brother's condition was improving, Yuan Yao immediately turned, grabbed Qian Jueshan's sleeve, and said excitedly, "Master, please sit down; let me tell you what happened to us in the Flowing Light Secret Realm."

"All right." Qian Jueshan sat down.

"This time the Flowing Light Secret Realm's time rewound to over seven hundred years ago..." Yuan Yao hadn't finished speaking when she heard Qian Jueshan's voice.

"Over seven hundred years ago?" Qian Jueshan's expression turned grave.

"Yes." Seeing her master's expression change instantly, Yuan Yao continued, "It was during the three months before the demon and monster clans invaded the cultivation world that we were active on the Ten Thousand Li Plains."

Qian Jueshan frowned slightly.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao guessed what her master was thinking and immediately said, "Master, don't worry; Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Sister, Fourth Senior Brother, and Youngest Senior Brother are all fine."

Just as she was speaking, a knocking sound came from outside the house.

"Yao Yao."

"Xiao Yao'er."

Upon hearing that, Yuan Yao told Qian Jueshan, "Master, I'll go open the door first."

She hurried over, opened the door, and saw Second Elder Zong Rao, as well as Song Yan, Xiao Lingwei, Xue Jin, and Ying Wuji, who had just come out of the Flowing Light Secret Realm and rushed over.

"Second Elder."

Zong Rao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is that A Li kid still alive?"

"Alive." Yuan Yao blinked playfully.

Yuan Yao welcomed them all inside.

"Master." Upon seeing Qian Jueshan, Song Yan and the others called out.

Qian Jueshan looked at them: "Any injuries?"

"If there are, speak up quickly; good thing this Elder is here." Zong Rao glanced at Song Yan and the others, the corners of her mouth turning up with a hint of indulgent smile.

"Yes." Song Yan and the others almost simultaneously spoke.

They had all sustained various injuries while fighting the demon lord and other demons.

"One by one." Zong Rao said while examining the unconscious Cang Li, discovering that his broken bones inside were healing and his internal injuries were gradually mending.

This needs no asking; everyone knows that a certain Immortal Monarch directly fed his disciple high-grade pills.

That Immortal Monarch may seem stern and cold, but as soon as his disciples are injured, he immediately gives them the best pills.

Zong Rao glanced at Qian Jueshan.

Qian Jueshan's expression remained unchanged.

Zong Rao took out silver needles and inserted more than a dozen into Cang Li's body.

Cang Li slowly woke up, lifted his head, his vision still a bit blurry; after seeing everyone in the room, he still thought he was dreaming.

"You two, go pour me a cup of water." He sat up, pointing at Xue Jin and Ying Wuji, speaking in an unfriendly tone.

Xue Jin, Ying Wuji: "……"

Out of consideration for his serious injury, Ying Wuji went to pour him water.

"Feed me." Seeing Ying Wuji so obedient, Cang Li became even more convinced this was a dream, and he immediately spoke arrogantly.

Those present: "……"

Just as everyone thought Ying Wuji would pour the water over his head, they didn't expect Ying Wuji to actually do so.

"Third Senior Brother, drink water." Ying Wuji said.

Seeing the cup brought to his lips, Cang Li immediately burst out laughing, reached out to take it, and gulped it down.

Afterwards, he raised his head and looked at each person in turn.

"Master, I won't be lazy anymore; you can rest assured!"

"Eldest Senior Brother, couldn't you be less soft-hearted toward others? Think more for yourself!"

"Second Senior Sister, couldn't you stop always beating me?"

"Xue Jin, you should respect me! I'm third, you're fourth! Also, stop being as dull as a wooden block all day; even dogs find you annoying."

"Ying Wuji, uh… you've been doing much better lately, so I won't criticize you."

"Yuan Yao, you're not lazy, but don't push yourself so hard! You're like a reckless lunatic who doesn't care about your own condition; you need to look after your body, progress gradually, and most importantly… don't let me be at the bottom, okay? I don't want to be last!"

"Second Elder, you're truly beautiful and kind-hearted!"

Seeing their surprised expressions, Cang Li's eyelids twitched slightly, a bad premonition rising in his heart; he rolled his eyes, pretending to fall asleep again, but Yuan Yao cupped his head with both hands.

Making him stare at by everyone.

The scene became awkward for a moment.

Cang Li still wanted to close his eyes to avoid eye contact, but a hand forcibly pried open his left eyelid.

At that moment, Xue Jin also reached out vengefully to pry open his right eyelid.

Cang Li: "……"

Now I can't keep up the act.

Can you two stop pulling my eyes open so wide? My eyes hurt.

Zong Rao couldn't hold back her laughter, gave a light cough: 'Let Ali go.'

Yuan Yao and Xue Jin only then released their hands.

Yuan Yao raised an eyebrow: 'Third Senior Brother, were you just speaking from the heart?'

Cang Li nodded. 'Yes.'

Suddenly, a hand seized his ear and twisted it.

'Cang Li, do you think I'm always beating you?' Xiao Lingwei said with a half-smile.

'Second Senior Sister, I was wrong!'

Cang Li immediately gave in: 'What I just said were all insincere words.'

Xiao Lingwei snorted coldly: 'Except for Yao Yao, I beat you all equally; you're just especially unable to take a beating.'

'Second Senior Sister, your words hurt my heart too much.'

'From now on, cultivate diligently.'

Cang Li murmured: 'Oh.'

Qianjueshan suddenly spoke: 'Yao Yao, what is the trial mission of the Flowing Light Secret Realm?'

The first trial mission is to stop the two demon clans from invading the cultivation world; the second is to aid the two demon clans in invading the cultivation world. Two hundred young cultivators were divided into two groups, each to carry out their respective mission. Yuan Yao said: 'The trial mission I am undertaking is the first one.'

Qianjueshan stared at Song Yan and the others: 'What about you?'

Only then did we learn that Song Yan and Xue Jin's trial mission was to aid the two demon clans in invading the cultivation world.

But Song Yan and Xue Jin did not carry out this mission.

Song Yan is inherently upright and would never help the two demon clans invade the cultivation world just for a trial mission.

As for Xue Jin, he dislikes the two demon clans.

So he chose to do as he pleased.

Meanwhile, Yuan Yao, Xiao Lingwei, Cang Li, and Ying Wuji belong to the Human Alliance.

Qianjueshan's expression turned solemn as he asked: 'How do you feel facing experts of imperial rank and above from the two demon clans?'

Yuan Yao pondered for a moment, then said seriously: 'If we have no strategy to deal with them, facing an imperial-rank expert or higher alone will only end in death.'

'Yao Yao is right.' Ying Wuji lowered his eyes and echoed.

Song Yan said: 'Master, are the true demon emperors and demon lords stronger than the illusory demon emperors and lords conjured in the Flowing Light Secret Realm?'
