Chapter 819

That's right, a full half month.

This girl was laughing and grinning every single day, barely able to close her mouth.

In the end, she received the hundredth summons from the Zhao Family Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

Only then was she forced to go back.

Before leaving, she taught all of her Heavenly Secret Imperial Dao to Xu Chen.

She even told him everything about her own perception of crisis.

This kind of perception was also useful for Xu Chen's cultivation.

She also taught Xu Chen quite a few of the martial arts and Secret Techniques she had learned.

Of course, she couldn't teach him everything.

Some things that were especially classified within the Zhao Family Heavenly Secret Pavilion, things touching on the core, she didn't teach.

But in fact, she wasn't allowed to teach any martial arts at all.

She had simply been sweet-talked by Xu Chen.

She had truly taken Xu Chen as a friend.

Even more so because of Xu Chen's meticulous, all-encompassing care for her.

Truly meticulous, all-encompassing.

When she had a problem, Xu Chen solved it.

Even problems she was too embarrassed to mention.

Xu Chen would see through them in an instant, then resolve them with clever finesse.

In other words, being with Xu Chen was truly very comfortable for her, very happy.

And so, feelings developed.

This kind of affection between a man and a woman — that's how it comes about.

At the time, Zhao Qinglian hadn't noticed it yet.

But after returning to the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, she began to miss Xu Chen.

She was even crazily wanting to go out and look for Xu Chen.

She began to regret why she hadn't left Xu Chen some way to contact her before leaving.

Which meant she couldn't find Xu Chen at all now.

Later, she couldn't hold back any longer and snuck out again.

Wanting Xu Chen, wanting Xu Chen.

But she discovered she couldn't find him at all anymore.

In the vast sea of people, how could she possibly find him!

And so, from a happy young girl,

she directly turned into a dazed woman, sentimental almost every day.

Clearly still very young, yet she resembled a mature woman to the extreme.

In the end, she even frantically tried to deduce Xu Chen's whereabouts.

But she was shocked to discover she couldn't deduce it.

Because after deducing 5.4, there was no effect whatsoever.

Xu Chen was like a stretch of chaos, shrouding heaven and earth.

She wanted to push aside this misty chaos, but found she simply couldn't.

For the first time, she felt this kind of helplessness.

She was stunned.

Of course, Xu Chen at the time didn't care about any of this.

He was going to be a heartless man.

A man with a heart couldn't keep getting stronger.

Dragged down by the affairs of men and women — heh, not fit to be a villain.

He was simply a man without feelings, one who tricked the Imperial Dao.

Of course, he still regarded Zhao Qinglian as a friend.

If they met, he'd keep her company again.

If they didn't meet, then so be it.

After all, he still had to keep moving forward and getting stronger.

He just wanted to stay alive, that's all!

Xu Chen, who had thought to here,

suddenly felt a twinge of toothache.

The woman from this first level was just this outrageous.

Zhao Qinglian was at Great Emperor Peak!

Although she wasn't the heir of the Zhao Family Heavenly Secret Pavilion,

it was because she hid it well.

The ability to sense crisis on her body,

just like her elder sister's Time-Space Body, had basically never been revealed.

Because she wasn't stupid.

She hid this thing, keeping it as a trump card.

It can keep the enemy from figuring out the situation.

In battle, one can hold the advantageous position.

Any shrewd person would do exactly that.

On the contrary, directly exposing it—

Letting the enemy see everything clearly, waiting for them to come break it—

Isn't that the act of a fool?

Xu Chen recalled that Zhao Qinglian was quite cunning in this regard.

Once, there was even an Immortal Emperor who wanted to make a move on her.

Yet, miraculously, she managed to slip away.

Not only did she slip away—

That Immortal Emperor even fell into the hands of the Zhao Family.

The reason was simple—it relied on Zhao Qinglian's special ability.

She sensed it three days in advance.

After sensing it, she found a reason.

She brought along a master even stronger than the Immortal Emperor.

So once that Immortal Emperor made his move, her master naturally wouldn't stand by.

It was essentially catching an Immortal Emperor for free—one who delivered himself to their door.

That Immortal Emperor was utterly dumbfounded.

What the hell—you don't normally bring your master along.

The moment I come to launch a sneak attack, you just happen to have him with you?

He nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

It's downright absurd.

Later he assumed it was the result of a divination by Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

But that left him even more frustrated.

He remembered that a Heavenly Secret diviner's projection of the future consumes lifespan!

Could Zhao Qinglian really be so idle every day as to damage her own lifespan?

Damn, I'm speechless.
