Boarding Life

Seeing this, Luo Yanran took a deep breath, "My husband’s condition is critical, I must take him back immediately!"

Qin Qi had originally planned to fight a bit longer.

However, his mana was considerably depleted, and it was necessary to go back and recuperate, so he returned to the city with Luo Yanran.

Seeing Bai Qingrou returning alive, Bai Qingrou, who had been anxiously waiting on the city wall for a long time, was equally overjoyed.

"Qingrou!"

She rushed forward, looking at Bai Qingrou’s listless appearance, her face darkening.

Luo Yanran bit her lips, "Holy Maiden, my husband, what is wrong with him?"

"Too much evil qi has invaded his body." Bai Qingrou’s expression was grim, "In this situation, unless we can use a Supreme Yang treasure to cleanse the evil qi within, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what will happen?" Luo Yanran’s heart shuddered.

"Otherwise, there will be a risk to his life!"

Bai Qingrou sighed, "And even if he is saved, Qingrou has suffered deep primordial energy damage. In the future, there will undoubtedly be hidden dangers. It may be difficult for him to reach the Core Formation Stage in this life!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yanran’s delicate body trembled.

A sense of despair arose in her heart, "Then, Holy Maiden, this Supreme Yang treasure..."

Bai Qingrou frowned.

The Supreme Yang treasure is already rare, and at this juncture, there’s no time to search for one.

Soon, she looked at Qin Qi, "Yes, Qin Qi, your mana can definitely save my apprentice!"

Qin Qi was unwilling to help, "Holy Maiden, my mana was mostly depleted in the previous battle."

"I don’t have more mana to save him!"

Bai Qingrou knew Qin Qi had no intention of saving Bai Qingrou.

And having already extended this favor to Qin Qi, asking him for help again was inappropriate.

But at this point, she had no other choice but to knit her eyebrows, "Qin Qi, if you’re willing to save my apprentice, name your condition, and consider it as me owing you a favor!"

Luo Yanran also looked expectantly, hoping Qin Qi would agree.

Qin Qi was waiting for Bai Qingrou to say these words.

"Indeed!"

He thought silently to himself.

With this, he settled Bai Qingrou and Luo Yanran at once.

He spoke slowly, "Since the Holy Maiden has spoken to this extent, it seems I’d be remiss to refuse."

"Fortunately, I have some mana left, thinking that saving him should be no problem!"

After speaking, he immediately channeled his mana into Bai Qingrou’s body.

With a large influx of Celestial Spirit True Qi entering, the black evil qi surrounding Bai Qingrou indeed dissipated considerably.

This brought a gleam of joy to the refined faces of Bai Qingrou and Luo Yanran.

But would Qin Qi so simply save Bai Qingrou?

How could it be!

What does Bai Qingrou’s life or death have to do with him?

He was saving Bai Qingrou purely for Bai Qingrou’s favor, but saving him completely, leaving some hidden troubles in his body, he could still manage.

When the evil qi within Bai Qingrou was mostly eliminated, Qin Qi withdrew deliberately, leaving a part inside.

The remaining part, though not fatal, would still hinder Bai Qingrou’s cultivation and ability to fight effectively, always leaving him with a nagging worry.

Soon, Bai Qingrou began awakening as the evil qi dissipated.

"Qingrou!"

"Husband!"

Bai Qingrou and Luo Yanran hurried forward to comfort him.

As Bai Qingrou just regained consciousness, he scanned the surroundings with a glance.

When he saw Qin Qi, he spoke angrily, "Master, it’s this Qin kid’s fault, he could have saved me when I was unscathed!"

"But he didn’t, he clearly intended revenge in secret, waiting until I was severely injured before acting!"

"Master, you must severely punish this boy!"

"He intends to harm my life!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Qingrou’s expression changed dramatically.

"Slap!"

Unexpectedly, she slapped Bai Qingrou’s face on the spot.

Seeing this, many people gasped.

After all, it’s the first time everyone saw Bai Qingrou beating her own apprentice.

Even Bai Qingrou held his cheek, unable to believe the scene before him.

His master actually hit him?

Bai Qingrou bit her lips, "You wretched thing, if it weren’t for Qin Qi, you would be dead now. You dare repay good with evil, hurry up and thank Qin Qi?"

She knew very well that what Bai Qingrou said was true.

But with so many people around, with Qin Qi saving Bai Qingrou, being the Holy Maiden of Tianlan Sect and an important figure in Tianqing City, she naturally had to uphold fairness!

Moreover, Qin Qi just reversed a dire situation and killed many evil demons.

How could Bai Qingrou desecrate him like this!

This act was also to protect her own apprentice!

Bai Qingrou glared angrily, "Master, shall I, shall I thank him?"

"Do it quickly!" Bai Qingrou admonished.

Bai Qingrou took a deep breath, although internally extremely unwilling, he still held up his body looking at his master’s expression.

Then, reluctantly, he said, "Thank you for saving me!"

"Thank whom?" Qin Qi looked around.

Bai Qingrou almost ground his teeth audibly, "Thank Qin Qi, brother, for saving me!"

Qin Qi waved his hand, "No need to thank me, if you must thank someone, thank your wife Miss Luo. She vehemently pleaded with me to save you at that time."

"If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have taken such a risk for you!"

It seemed like a casual remark.

But undoubtedly, it hit Bai Qingrou’s sore spot.

Bai Qingrou listened, blood almost surged straight to his brain!

He wished he could clench his fists and fight Qin Qi right now.

Yet Qin Qi continued smiling pleasantly, without any change or fluctuation in expression.

Bai Qingrou naturally noticed Bai Qingrou’s state, knowing Bai Qingrou was no match for Qin Qi, and quickly waved, "Enough, Qingrou’s injuries are severe now, I’ll take him to heal. Tianqing, you stay here and manage the situation!"

Yuan Tianqing also saw the underlying issues and smiled in response, "Understood, Senior Sister!"

Bai Qingrou took Bai Qingrou back to a resting place within the city.

With no one around, Bai Qingrou then roared angrily, "Master, I want to kill that kid, I want to kill him!"

"If it weren’t for him, how could I end up like this today?"

In the past, Bai Qingrou would surely have unconditionally supported his decisions.

After all, Bai Qingrou pampered him thusly.

But Bai Qingrou was surprised that this time Bai Qingrou’s reply was cold, "Kill him, how will you kill him?"

"He’s only a Tier Five Foundation Establishment..." Bai Qingrou shouted furiously.

Bai Qingrou, seeing persuasion in vain, rebuked, "Do you know your life is still held by Qin Qi now!"
