Chapter 270: Master, Please Be More Reserved (Requesting Moon Tickets)

Over there, Dugu Miss Qingli was inexplicably dragged away by her master; her immediate instinct was to think the Yan Jun had come to attack, and she even tried to resist reflexively.

Who knows how she would have fared against the real Yan Jun, but this "Yan Jun" in front of her couldn't even withstand half a move and was grabbed like a chicken.

The little white-haired girl gave up resisting.

Well, Tianyao Xuanyue can at least be considered a decent cultivation technique again.

Only when they were halfway through the sky did the little white quail protest: "I was asking him questions and hadn't even finished half of them; you suddenly appeared, I still have so much to ask, why did you suddenly drag me away?"

Ye Tinglan released his disciple, removed his mask, and looked very grim: "You still want to ask? You were still squatting in the guest courtyard? If this junior uncle hadn't come, you would have been taken to fill the array eye!"

Dugu Miss Qingli looked completely bewildered.

Ye Tinglan then recounted everything he had just learned to his disciple from beginning to end, leaving Dugu Miss Qingli silent.

She naturally thought of her own origins, wondering if it was possible that she was the Ice Demon...

Ye Tinglan comforted her: "You are human, without a doubt. Even if you are related to the Ice Origin, it is highly likely that you simply absorbed the Ice Origin; this concept is already decoupled from the Ice Demon. When the Origin gathers, it can form a spirit or be used by humans, but it does not represent a soul."

Dugu Miss Qingli felt slightly relieved and whispered, "Thank you, Junior... Uncle."

She was thanking her master for his concern, traveling a great distance to help in case something went wrong, and even degrading himself by disguising as the Yan Jun...

Wait, that's not right; her master was already disguised as the Yan Jun.

Sitting in a wheelchair nearby, Lu Xingzhou helplessly said, "Actually, if our 'Yan Jun' hadn't come, Ling Qixuan wouldn't have thought to instigate the Yan Jun to attack the Tianyao direct lineage. He wouldn't have the guts to deal with it himself, so the situation where Miss Qingli would be taken to fill the array eye never existed."

Ye Tinglan thought about it and realized he was right, so he fell silent.

Dugu Miss Qingli glanced sideways at this display of a couple acting in unison and said nothing.

Lu Xingzhou continued to criticize the foolish woman: "You acted too rashly; I still have many questions. We haven't even figured out how that formation works or where it operates. Not to mention Miss Qingli's origins, if the Ice Demon really escapes prison, it could cause major problems, potentially even flooding the human world with an ice ocean. You are usually so composed; he was just instigating and hadn't actually done anything dangerous yet, so why the rush..."

Ye Tinglan knew he had been impulsive today, but that was different; as a master, hearing someone want to use his obedient disciple as a sacrifice for an array, who wouldn't feel a surge of anger rising to the crown of their head?

Seeing the little man criticize her, Ye Tinglan softened considerably and stammered, "I know I was impulsive and it wasn't good for the overall situation, but I am Miss Qingli's junior uncle, and I can't stand hearing such words. People have their limits..."

Dugu Miss Qingli: "..."

Although she didn't know what had happened, it sounded quite moving.

Even though they were still talking about the junior uncle, which was quite silly, her evaluation of Tianyao Xuanyue continued to rise sharply.

Lu Xingzhou said, "Miss Qingli is also my... friend, so does that mean I can't stand such words either? One must endure small slights to avoid ruining a grand plan; at least we should clarify the surface matters first. What now?"

"Now..." Ye Tinglan smiled apologetically, sat in his lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck: "I have a smart disciple who does the work, so isn't there always a way to clean up the mess?"

Dugu Miss Qingli shuddered all over, her goosebumps literally falling off.

After living in the Frozen Moon Cold River for so many years, she had never had goosebumps like this!

Lu Xingzhou pulled Ye Tinglan into his embrace and actually reached out to touch that roundness: "Is this how you clean up?"

Ye Tinglan gritted her teeth: "Lu! Xing! Zhou!"

As she spoke, she sat down hard, nearly breaking the stinky man's hand beneath her.

Lu Xingzhou's face turned a deep purple, and Dugu Miss Qingli let out a sigh of relief.

Just as she wanted to continue praising Tianyao Xuanyue, she heard Ye Tinglan say, "There are still people here, what are you doing?"

Dugu Miss Qingli: "?"

So when no one is around, you can just grab your butt freely?

Wait, what do you mean there are people here? You just said I was your limit, and now you find me annoying?

Now Dugu Miss Qingli was flying on her sword nearby while Lu Xingzhou held Ye Tinglan in his lap on the wheelchair. Looking at their posture, Dugu Miss Qingli couldn't help but recall her own past...

So back then, I was just as wretched as this...

Lu Xingzhou was whispering in Ye Tinglan's ear: "Ease up a bit, my hand hurts."

Ye Tinglan shifted her bottom.

Lu Xingzhou finally managed to pull his hand out and complained pitifully: "Regarding the formation, the only option now is for me to secretly meet Ling Qixuan again, saying the Yan Jun doesn't want to do it, and that our subordinates should keep an eye on it in case it can be done... to see if he will reveal his true intentions. Other than that, the only remaining option is the stupid method of having people secretly watch them. Currently, the stupid method might actually be more effective; if I go ask him directly, I might not gain his trust."

Knowing she had made a mistake, Ye Tinglan smiled apologetically: "I was wrong... let me be punished, but not by cleaning up the mess."

Lu Xingzhou leaned down and kissed her.

Dugu Miss Qingli, flying on her sword, swerved sharply and nearly caused an air disaster.

But the way they spoke made it sound like her master was being punished for making a mistake because of her... so whether Tianyao Xuanyue is truly good still needs observation.
