Chapter 164 It’s Time to Return the Favor

"You really will come back. I knew you wouldn't give up the two treasures, Qiankuntai and Yutai, just like that."

"I've been waiting for you." Zhong Tingyu stepped out from the darkness and walked towards Qin Baiqing calmly. "Only you can hide the Qiankuntai. It seems that my wait was not in vain."

"What are you doing here?" Qin Baiqing stood in front of the Qiankun Platform, looking alert, "You want the Qiankun Platform too? Why?"

She looked up and down at Zhong Tingyu, who had returned to normal, and tilted her head to ask, "Do you like the way you look in the illusion better? Actually, I like it better too. You're too fierce now."

The pretty girl in the illusion is more pleasing to the eye. Now Zhong Tingyu looks ferocious and can scare two children to tears with just a frown.

"Fortunately, I am mentally strong..." Qin Baiqing muttered while patting his chest.

"..."

Zhong Tingyu looked at her in silence, took a deep breath and pretended not to hear her, then said seriously: "I can't get the Qiankuntai and I'm not interested. I'm waiting for you because you have something to ask for."

"Ah...I know."

"Why?"

He took a step forward and saw that Qin Baiqing had no intention of refusing, so he relaxed a little.

"Because you were willing to bring me to see the immortal platform, I'm not stupid." Qin Baiqing counted on his fingers, lowered his head and said casually: "My cultivation is weaker than yours, and the Qingyun Sect and Xinghai Sect behind me are useless to you. For you, there is no benefit in bringing me along... You are not willing to bring me here because you are kind-hearted."

She shrugged and said frankly: "You must have wanted to ask me for help since then, but you just didn't say it."

Now that the matter of Qiankuntai has been settled, it is naturally time for Zhong Tingyu to make his request.

"You saw it from the beginning, why are you still willing to follow?" Zhong Tingyu looked strange. The feeling of having his thoughts exposed by a child was not a pleasant one.

"Feng Budu wants to come. I also want to watch the fun a little bit."

She pinched her fingertips and pointed at Zhong Tingyu, indicating, "Just a little bit."

In short, Qin Baiqing knew that it was time for her to repay the favor, especially since she had obtained the Qiankuntai. Zhong Tingyu had the confidence to make demands.

Although she was prepared, she was still unhappy. She sighed helplessly and her whole body wilted.

"What a trouble. What on earth do you need my help with? Let's finish it quickly and return the favor I owe you. Don't come to me again in the future."

"It's very simple. This matter——"

"Wait a moment!" Qin Baiqing slapped her forehead and turned around quickly and said, "I have to deal with the Qiankuntai first, please wait a moment."

"Right here?"

"Um... don't talk anymore." Qin Baiqing closed her eyes, and after realizing that the aura of the Three Pure Ones small world in her sea of ​​consciousness had returned, she began to recite the mantra with peace of mind.

After the Qiankun Platform appeared, it flickered and its spiritual light grew stronger and stronger, soon emitting a dazzling white light that enveloped the two of them.

This white light was too much like the white mist that polluted and controlled everyone's minds in the illusion. Zhong Tingyu reflexively wanted to resist it, but the moment the white light fell on him, he surprisedly let down his guard and was shocked by the abundant spiritual energy in the Qiankuntai.

It is surprisingly exactly the same as the aura of the Sanqing Palace in the illusion.

The spiritual light touched him for only a moment before it was completely retracted. The Qiankun Platform turned into a phantom and flew into Qin Baiqing's hands. The phantom gradually became unclear and finally disappeared in her palm.

In reality, there is no trace of the existence of the Qiankuntai anymore, but in the Sanqing small world, the virtual shadow of the Qiankuntai has become real, and the Qiankuntai has returned to its place.

The small world shook violently, and the Three Pure Ones' spiritual thoughts appeared. They looked at Qin Baiqing with satisfaction. The leading old man, Taiqing, opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But Qin Baiqing's spiritual consciousness had already retreated immediately.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's not too late!" Qin Baiqing didn't bother to take a closer look, and hurriedly withdrew from the small world with his spiritual thoughts, dragging Zhong Tingyu and fleeing, "Why is there such a big commotion in conquering the Qiankuntai? The spiritual light just now must have attracted a lot of people. If we don't leave now, we will be hunted down!" "Let's go..."

The two of them chose a direction and ran. Before leaving, Qin Baiqing could see out of the corner of her eye a large number of curious figures flying towards them from afar. She wondered if they realized that they were the furious casual cultivators who had been tricked.

But no one noticed that there was a faint spiritual light flickering in the corner, transmitting every scene that happened thousands of miles away.

Shura Gate, the master's hall.

There were many black shadows in the deep mountain gate. The spiritual light passed through the disciples in the gate and floated in front of the person who was leaning in the main hall with his eyes closed to rest.

"Oh?"

He received a message from Lingguang and watched with interest the whole process of Qin Baiqing's recovery of Qiankuntai, with interest flashing in his eyes.

"Someone," he waved his hand, and several guardians floated out like ghosts, "Go, bring this little friend back to be my guest. I want to see her."

"Interesting little friend..."

……

"Where are we going? This is not the direction you are going back to the sect."

The two walked a long way. Zhong Tingyu saw that there was no trace of any pursuers behind them, so he called Qin Baiqing, "You don't have to run so far, are you going back to the sect?"

"If you don't want to go back, come back to the Beast Tamer Sect with me. It's just right for us—"

"Don't worry, I didn't say I won't help you, but I need to go into seclusion first," Qin Baiqing interrupted him again, slowly landing on a deserted mountain with few people, and said, "I'm very weak now. How can I help you if I don't improve my cultivation? You don't want me to die suddenly in the middle of helping you, right?"

"Wait for me to retreat first. I will help you when I become stronger."

As she spoke, she looked around, searching for a suitable place to retreat, and said slowly, "I may need you to protect me, but I'll be quick."

"The Beast Taming Sect has a place for retreat. I can give you mine. I guarantee that it is the cave with the most spiritual energy in the Beast Taming Sect. No one will disturb you. It is safer than outside."

Zhong Tingyu crossed his arms and bowed his head to signal Qin Baiqing, "And I will also protect you. You don't have to compromise in such a place with thin spiritual energy."

"No, I like it here."

"Are you so shortsighted?"

"...Do you really want me to tell you that I don't trust you?" Qin Baiqing raised her head and pursed her lips helplessly, "I'm already trying my best not to hurt your feelings."

Zhong Tingyu shut up and stopped talking. He swallowed his anger and followed Qin Baiqing around the mountains and plains. He silently reminded himself that he needed help from others. Need help from others...

"That's good." Qin Baiqing found a dilapidated cave, clapped his hands and pushed Zhong Tingyu out, then closed the door confidently: "Now you can start to protect me, don't disturb me."

After saying that, he slammed the door shut mercilessly, allowing the dust from the door frame to splash all over Zhong Tingyu's face.

He wiped his face heavily, took a deep breath, and sat outside the door with a grim face, sulking.

Ask for help from others, ask for help from others...

"Next time I'll find her and take her last name!"

……

Inside the cave, Qin Baiqing set up the formation with some concern, and chuckled twice as he watched the formation light up.

"I blocked Zhong Tingyu from the door. Feng Budu will definitely praise me if he knows about this." She sat down cross-legged contentedly, not forgetting to praise herself, "I am so smart!"
