Chapter 135: Watching the Sunrise

Unfortunately, Lu Fang had fallen into a coma and had no way to answer Li Yu's question. She sat there blankly holding him for a while before she stood up and collected the monk Master Yi Hui's ownerless luck.

To prevent the commotion of the fight that had just occurred from being discovered by someone with ulterior motives,

she carried Lu Fang to a relatively hidden forest and set up a concealment array. She had already fed him pills, but he showed no signs of waking up.

Fortunately, although his aura was chaotic, there should be no life-threatening danger.

Now, the only thing Li Yu could do was to guard here and wait for Lu Fang to emerge from his extremely weak state.

A night passed just like that. Before dawn, Lu Fang finally opened his eyes wearily. Now he was still in an extremely weak state; although he had woken up, he couldn't move at all.

Even saying a complete sentence seemed incomparably difficult.

"Thirsty, thirsty..."

Lu Fang shouted weakly.

Li Yu hurriedly leaned over, scooped a little water from a leaf, and fed it to Lu Fang carefully. She whispered, "Little Martial Uncle, you must think clearly in the future before using that extraordinary power again."

"This weak state is too serious."

She paused and revealed a malicious look, raising her eyebrows as she said, "Little Martial Uncle, your luck is so great. If I killed you now, wouldn't all your luck be mine?"

After Lu Fang drank the water, he felt he had a bit of strength and smiled bitterly, "If I had known there would be such a weak state, I definitely wouldn't have used it."

Seeing that he didn't look scared at all, Li Yu said with some dissatisfaction, "Little Martial Uncle, aren't you afraid I'll kill you to seize your luck?"

Lu Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Before entering the trial grounds, I was indeed a little afraid, but now I'm not. Little Yu'er seems to be someone worthy of entrusting one's life to."

He really didn't know he would enter such a completely defenseless weak state.

However, what surprised him was that Li Yu took care of him very attentively and didn't kill him to seize his luck. If she had that intention, he wouldn't have woken up.

"Don't call me that randomly." Hearing the address "Little Yu'er," Li Yu's face turned red all at once, and she felt somewhat awkward.

Lu Fang smiled and didn't say anything, closing his eyes wearily to rest.

After being silent for a while, feeling that the sun was about to rise, Lu Fang opened his eyes and glanced amusingly at Li Yu, who was deliberately not looking at him, saying, "Can you help me up? I want to watch the sunrise."

"You're already so weak, what sunrise are you watching?"

Li Yu complained, but she still helped Lu Fang up, feeling uncomfortable all over, and said, "Is the sunrise here as good-looking as the one at Wenyuan Academy?"

Lu Fang leaned weakly on Li Yu's shoulder, looking at the sunrise that had just poked its "head" out, and smiled, "I think this sunrise is the most beautiful one I've seen in my life."

"Is the sunrise here very beautiful?"

Li Yu shook her head.

Lu Fang smiled faintly, "Is the sunrise at Wenyuan Academy really good-looking?"

Li Yu nodded vigorously, "Of course, watching the sunrise from the roof of the library at Wenyuan Academy is so beautiful. If there's a chance, Little Martial Uncle can go see it."

Lu Fang said somewhat cunningly, "I don't believe it. How about this: when we return to the capital, you accompany me to Wenyuan Academy to watch the sunrise."

"Okay." Li Yu didn't think much and agreed immediately.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the roots of her ears turned red, and she said in a flustered, stuttering manner, "I don't have that time. If Little Martial Uncle wants to go, go see it yourself."

"Hahaha..."

Lu Fang laughed. He didn't even need to look at Li Yu to know her cute, awkward appearance, and he deliberately teased her, "Are you curious why Martial Uncle I could condense a book spirit and obtain so many extraordinary powers?"

Li Yu nodded subconsciously, but suddenly realized Lu Fang couldn't see, so she said, "Is there a trick to it?"

Lu Fang smiled, "Of course there is a trick; otherwise, how could Martial Uncle I be so uniquely gifted? As long as you are willing to accompany me to watch the sunrise, I will tell you the trick."

Li Yu frowned slightly. She did want to know the trick, but... if she agreed, she felt somewhat embarrassed, as if it were a secret meeting.

"The male and female departments of Wenyuan Academy are separated; I'm afraid we can't watch the sunrise together."

She found an excuse to decline.

"That's true!"

Lu Fang shrugged helplessly.

Li Yu waited for a while, but didn't see Lu Fang continue to talk about watching the sunrise. For some reason, she felt a bit empty inside—not the disappointment of not knowing the trick, but the disappointment of not having an appointment.

Once she thought of this, she became somewhat flustered.

She even forgot to pursue the matter of the trick.

Lu Fang, on the other hand, was watching the sunrise while consuming Book Fragrance Qi to quickly emerge from his weak state.

About two quarters of an hour later.

Lu Fang stood up and stretched his muscles, saying, "I have recovered. Did you get injured fighting that evil monk?"

Li Yu shook her head, "My injuries were healed long ago. Did you consume Book Fragrance Qi just now, Little Martial Uncle? That's too wasteful. Were you afraid I would take action against you?"

Lu Fang smiled gently at Li Yu and shook his head.

Li Yu felt her whole body burning under his intense gaze, and she dodged his gaze like a marionette, as stiff as could be.

Lu Fang was amused to laughter, but he didn't tease her anymore, instead changing the subject:

"A bit further to the east, there is an abandoned temple. I discovered a pond and a lotus platform stone there that can allow people to quickly enter a state of epiphany."

Li Yu realized, "So that's it. Is that why you entered the Sixth Rank, Second Stage so quickly—because of that special place?"

"Right." Lu Fang nodded, then told her about the situation in the pond, saying, "You can go there and try to cultivate; perhaps it can allow you to break through and successfully enter the Fourth Rank."

Li Yu said expectantly, "Then let's go there together."

Lu Fang nodded with a smile, "I'll accompany you there, and I can guard you then."

The two hit it off and rushed toward the abandoned temple.

After entering the temple, they didn't find anyone else. Lu Fang took Li Yu to find the pond, set up the Small Confinement Array, and the two entered the archway together.

Li Yu sat on the lotus platform to cultivate, while Lu Fang fished for spirit fish in the pond in boredom.

During this period, some people touched the Small Confinement Array, but without exception, they all left.

On the first day, Li Yu entered the state of epiphany and successfully broke through to the Fourth Rank, First Stage. After cultivating for three days, she could no longer enter the state of epiphany.

She had two fewer mysterious states than Lu Fang, but she also successfully broke through, which could be considered a not-insignificant harvest.

"This spirit fish is really delicious. It's actually not bad that we've been cultivating here. Although we can't enter the state of epiphany again, it's still faster than cultivating in other places."

Li Yu said while eating roasted fish.

Lu Fang shook his head, "How about you cultivate here? Don't you also have array flags? I have something to do." ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
