Chapter 39: Get a vaccination!

Knock, knock, knock... The dull knocking sound rang out in the silent night.

creak...

"What's wrong, Senior Brother? It's so late and you're not resting yet? Don't we have to travel tomorrow?" Lu Linxuan opened the door and looked at Li Xingyun who came late at night with some curiosity. Seeing that her Senior Brother was hesitant to speak, she immediately made way and said, "Come in and talk."

Li Xingyun stood at the door and did not go any further. After organizing his words, he said to Lu Linxuan, "Junior sister, do you know the Dark Emperor?"

"Underworld Emperor?" Lu Linxuan frowned slightly and said, "Brother, you mentioned this before, right? This Underworld Emperor is the leader of Xuanming Sect. So, brother, is he the next one we are going to kill? Not Zhu Wen anymore?"

Perhaps it was because she had witnessed many of her senior brother's methods while following Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan even felt that the leader of the Xuanming Sect was just that, nothing big. Anyway, with her senior brother around, she felt safe.

"He will die, but not yet. The Dark Emperor has already left Luoyang. We should be able to see him in two days." Li Xingyun said solemnly, "According to my plan, after seeing us, the Dark Emperor may use you or Ji Ruxue as hostages to force me to go to Luoyang. Junior Sister, I may have to let you suffer a little."

Of course, this was just Li Xingyun's guess. What exactly would happen at that time would have to wait until he met the Hades to know. However, what surprised Li Xingyun was that Lu Linxuan did not show the slightest surprise or fear. Instead, his eyes lit up and he pointed at himself excitedly and said, "Me? I'll stick my neck out for you, Senior Brother!"

"Ah?" Li Xingyun was stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Lu Linxuan's behavior. "Junior sister, what are you doing..."

"Hey, since you have a plan, you will definitely protect me. Do you really want me to die?" Lu Linxuan patted Li Xingyun's shoulder and said in a condescending manner: "Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely not let you down!"

Are you afraid? Of course you are afraid, but out of trust in Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan agreed without hesitation. After all, apart from her master, her senior brother is her only relative.

Li Xingyun looked at the girl in front of him and couldn't help but touch her hair. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. Since the Dark Emperor infiltrated the Xuanming Sect, there is no place in the whole Daliang that is safer than the Xuanming Sect. If the Dark Emperor holds you hostage, wait for me in Luoyang and I will pick you up."

"Yeah!" Although he didn't understand what it meant for the Hades to infiltrate the Xuanming Sect, Lu Linxuan still nodded obediently. Li Xingyun looked at Lu Linxuan and smiled. There were some things he didn't need to say, they both understood them tacitly. Seeing this, Lu Linxuan pursed his lips and looked up at Li Xingyun slightly. The two of them just looked at each other quietly.

Or how do they say that eyes are windows to the soul? Lu Linxuan went from being open and confident at the beginning to being a little confused next. He then threw away his armor and blinked to dodge, and even his breath became a little unstable. With a slightly red face, Lu Linxuan whispered, "Master... Senior Brother, it's getting late. Go to bed early."

boom!
Lu Linxuan pushed Li Xingyun as if he was escaping and then closed the door. "Hmph...haha." Li Xingyun chuckled as if he had succeeded. Then he put his hands behind his head and left in a leisurely manner, forming a sharp contrast with Lu Linxuan, who was leaning against the door and breathing softly like a kitten.

"Brother..." The hand on his chest clenched slightly, Lu Linxuan was a little flustered and at a loss. What happened to her just now? It was so strange, such a strange feeling...

……

Boom, boom, boom...

Click... "Is there something?" Unlike Lu Linxuan, Ji Ruxue looked at Li Xingyun calmly after opening the door, with an expression that kept people at a distance. Ji Ruxue had a hunch that this guy was looking for her for no good reason.

"Why, you don't welcome me?" When facing Ji Ruxue, Li Xingyun's behavior was completely different from when he faced Lu Linxuan. He simply ignored Ji Ruxue's resisting eyes and walked straight into the house and poured himself a glass of water. Ji Ruxue walked up to Li Xingyun, crossed her arms and said, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter? Are you going to write a letter to the empress again?"

"Nothing, I just came to chat with you. If convenient, we can talk about your Huanyinfang." Li Xingyun smiled and looked up at Ji Ruxue. He saw a hint of white between Ji Ruxue's arms that were folded in front of her chest, which made Li's eyes widen.

Slightly turning sideways to avoid the gaze of a certain pervert, Ji Ruxue said calmly: "Without the order of the empress, I will not reveal any information about Huanyinfang."

As if he had expected Ji Ruxue's answer, Li Xingyun nodded calmly and said, "You seem to be quite loyal to her. So tell me about yourself? Why did you join Huanyinfang?"

Why did you join Huanyinfang? Ji Ruxue's mind suddenly flashed with images of her family members dying in the flames of war. As an orphan, it was Qi State that took her in, and Huanyinfang taught her piano, chess, calligraphy, and martial arts... "It's not that I joined Huanyinfang, it's Huanyinfang that took me in." Ji Ruxue looked a little lonely. If she still had a family, why would she become a killer?

Li Xingyun saw Ji Ruxue's emotional fluctuations and sighed softly: "The world is in constant war and the people are displaced. Only great unification can end all this." Li Xingyun knew very well that even if the country was restored to Tang Dynasty, there would still be people who died in the war and people who would starve to death due to natural disasters. However, compared to the current chaotic world of cannibalism, such a world would be at least ten times better.

Ji Ruxue seemed to have sensed something, and looked at Li Xingyun deeply, and said softly: "Are you the one who ended this?"

With a whoosh, Ji Ruxue was in a trance for only a moment before she realized that Li Xingyun had disappeared. Then a lazy voice appeared behind her, "I hope that next time you say something like this, your tone will be positive." Ji Ruxue suddenly looked back, curled her lips speechlessly, and said, "You are really pretending!"

Li Xingyun spread his hands and said happily: "Please, practicing martial arts is tiring, okay? I finally made some progress. If I don't show off, wouldn't it be a waste of my skills?"

Ji Ruxue snorted with a little dissatisfaction: "You come to me in the middle of the night, and this is it?"

"That's it!" Li Xingyun imitated Ji Ruxue and crossed his arms in front of his chest. However, he did not have Ji Ruxue's fullness that could not be fully grasped in one hand, so he looked a little lacking in momentum.

"Boring, go to bed early, Mr. Li, we have to travel tomorrow." Ji Ruxue rolled her eyes at Li Xingyun and raised her hand to send him away, but Li Xingyun smiled and said, "One last thing, remember, no matter what happens in the future, don't panic, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."

"Hmm?" Ji Ruxue's eyes showed a hint of doubt. What did Li Xingyun mean by this? Ji Ruxue wanted to ask again, but suddenly found that Li Xingyun was no longer in front of her. She bit her lip and said with some dissatisfaction: "You are talking nonsense and you don't explain it clearly!"

After giving each of the two women a dose of vaccination, Li Xingyun returned to the room to practice. He is a very busy man now and has to practice the four great magical skills. Even with his talent, he is overwhelmed. Fortunately, he has the Tiangang Jue as a foundation and has already mastered the Longquan Sword Jue. Therefore, in recent days, he has practiced the Five Thunders Heart Jue to the second level. In less than three days, he will be able to master this method. As for the Supreme Saint Qiankun Gong, he uses it as an auxiliary method that is extremely strong and yang.

As the internal energy of the four great skills circulated in Li Xingyun's body, a murmur slowly sounded under the dim candlelight, "...Underworld Emperor, how many moves can I resist from you now?"
