Chapter 1678

Seeing Chu Xiao injured, a ripple appeared in Tantai Qingxuan's eyes.

But she still turned to Within Jun Xiaoyao and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Jun, for showing mercy."

Tantai Qingxuan knew.

What kind of outcome would follow from provoking an Emperor Clan Young Master.

If it were any other Emperor Clan Young Master, it would be normal to kill Chu Xiao directly.

Not to mention that Chu Xiao did not hold back at all when he attacked.

And Within Jun Xiaoyao only injured Chu Xiao in the end.

It could be said that this was already great benevolence.

"Since he is a friend of Miss Qingxuan, I naturally won't hold a grudge," Within Jun Xiaoyao said with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Tantai Qingxuan felt a warmth in her heart.

How many times has this been now?

From saving her life.

To giving such a precious birthday gift to Tantai Yulong.

And now, for her sake, not holding a grudge against Chu Xiao's provocation.

This seemed enough to prove that she might have a place in Within Jun Xiaoyao's heart.

Thinking of this, Tantai Qingxuan's heart could not help but become chaotic, her earlobes slightly red.

And Chu Xiao, seeing Tantai Qingxuan's expression, felt his heart ache as if it were being twisted.

He was injured, and Tantai Qingxuan's first reaction was not to come and care about how he was injured.

But to thank Within Jun Xiaoyao, thanking him for his magnanimity.

For Chu Xiao, this was simply unacceptable.

But he did have more important things to do right now.

"Return the gourd to me!"

Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and spat out these words with difficulty.

Right now, the most important thing for him was to get back the Qiankun Gourd.

This was the capital he relied on to rise.

Losing the Qiankun Gourd meant Chu Xiao had completely lost his greatest confidence.

Hearing this, Tantai Qingxuan also looked at the Qiankun Gourd.

In the Qingyang World, she could be said to have witnessed Chu Xiao's rise all the way.

So she naturally knew that the Qiankun Gourd had accompanied Chu Xiao for a long time.

As for the function of this Qiankun Gourd, Tantai Qingxuan did not inquire.

After all, everyone has their own secrets.

But she knew this must be an extremely important item for Chu Xiao.

And it should be a supreme treasure.

Thinking of this, Tantai Qingxuan could not help but look weakly at Within Jun Xiaoyao.

To be honest.

Even if Within Jun Xiaoyao really wanted to keep this gourd, it would be normal.

After all, it was Chu Xiao who provoked first.

That Within Jun Xiaoyao could spare his life was already giving Tantai Qingxuan a lot of face.

Now, he had to ask for the Qiankun Gourd back.

Even Tantai Qingxuan felt embarrassed to speak; this was truly somewhat shameful.

Tantai Qingxuan's expression caused Chu Xiao's heart to twitch suddenly.

Although he felt that Tantai Qingxuan had indeed changed somewhat.

But now, Tantai Qingxuan was at least helping him.

This gave Chu Xiao's originally aching heart a touch of tenderness.

At least Tantai Qingxuan still cared about him.

However, as a man, having to rely on a woman to help himself.

It could be said that Chu Xiao's self-esteem had suffered a huge blow.

But there was no other way; after all, the Qiankun Gourd was his most important item.

Seeing Tantai Qingxuan's pleading gaze like a pitiful kitten.

Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled faintly.

Actually, he no longer intended to take this Qiankun Gourd.

The reason was also very simple.

Now was just the right time to sell Tantai Qingxuan another favor.

For a woman, the method to conquer her is as gentle as a knife.

"Since he is a friend of Miss Qingxuan, I naturally cannot keep this item."

As Within Jun Xiaoyao's voice fell, he directly threw the Qiankun Gourd to Chu Xiao.

Even Chu Xiao was stunned.

He caught the Qiankun Gourd, appearing calm on the surface.

But secretly, he hurriedly used his divine sense to scan and investigate the Qiankun Gourd.

He found that the Qiankun Gourd was all as usual.

Even that page of gold foil was hidden deep inside, safe and sound.

"What is going on? He actually handed over the Qiankun Gourd so readily; could it be that he did not discover the mystery inside the Qiankun Gourd?"

Chu Xiao thought to himself.

He instinctively felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

The Qiankun Gourd was not that simple.

It had various formations and restrictions inside.

Even the Qiankun World needed Chu Xiao to activate it before it would manifest.

So Chu Xiao believed that Within Jun Xiaoyao might really not have discovered the true secret of the Qiankun Gourd.

That was why he could return it so cleanly and neatly.

But Chu Xiao did not know.

With Within Jun Xiaoyao's three-life Primordial Spirit and Hengsha-level soul means, the entire Qiankun Gourd had long been clear in his mind.

And Within Jun Xiaoyao had indeed discovered that page of gold foil.

It was precisely the Time Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books.

And Chu Xiao's various divine abilities that could affect time, such as Floating Light and Flitting Shadow, Freezing Golden Light, etc.

Were all comprehended from the Time Book.

However...

This page of gold foil was merely a part of the Time Book.

It was not the complete Time Book.

This made Within Jun Xiaoyao slightly disappointed.

Even if he obtained this page of the Time Book, it would be very troublesome.

Because he would need to go and find the other remaining pages of the Time Book.

However, Chu Xiao, as the controller of the Time Book, was also the first person to obtain this page of gold foil.

In the dark, there would be a kind of luck connected to the Time Book.

In other words.

As long as Chu Xiao was willing to look for it.

He would always have the possibility of finding the remaining pages of the Time Book.

It was just a matter of time.

And Within Jun Xiaoyao himself had to find Jiang Shengyi's four souls, which would disperse his energy.

Where would he have the leisure to look for the remaining Time Book?

Therefore, Within Jun Xiaoyao's approach was very simple.

He directly returned the Qiankun Gourd, along with the page of the Time Book, to Chu Xiao.

Let Chu Xiao collect the Time Book himself.

Once Chu Xiao had collected it completely, wouldn't it be fragrant for him to take it all at once?

This was like before, when Within Jun Xiaoyao discarded the Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed.

Within Jun Xiaoyao was too lazy to cultivate the Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed himself.

So he left a backhand in it, then discarded it, letting it find a fated person itself.

When it was cultivated into a Hongmeng Tree, Within Jun Xiaoyao would just go and take it.

He left a secret Primordial Spirit mark on the Qiankun Gourd.

If Within Jun Xiaoyao needed to, he could lock onto Chu Xiao's location at any time.

And regarding Within Jun Xiaoyao's arrangement, Chu Xiao was naturally completely unaware.

Tantai Qingxuan showed surprise and bowed again, saying, "Qingxuan thanks Young Master."

Within Jun Xiaoyao was clearly doing this for her sake.

This made Tantai Qingxuan feel flattered.

"No need to be so polite; I naturally have to agree to Miss Qingxuan's request," Within Jun Xiaoyao smiled.

A simple little trick.

It both turned Chu Xiao into a treasure-hunting mouse and sold Tantai Qingxuan a favor.

It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.

Within Jun Xiaoyao's control and calculation of the human heart could be said to be meticulous.

Hearing Within Jun Xiaoyao's slightly ambiguous words.

On Tantai Qingxuan's cheeks, which were as white as jade, a faint smoke-like blush appeared, incomparably moving.

Seeing this, Chu Xiao felt his teeth were about to be crushed.

But there was no way; his skills were inferior to others, and Within Jun Xiaoyao's strength shocked him incomparably.

However, Chu Xiao also believed that Tantai Qingxuan still had him in her heart.

Otherwise, she would not have protected and helped him so much.

And Chu Xiao also strengthened his determination.

He must find the remaining pages of gold foil.

Only in this way would he have the ability to truly contend with Within Jun Xiaoyao.
