Chapter 577 - 529: Hurry Up and Refuse

Chapter 577: Chapter 529: Hurry Up and Refuse

Carefree Pavilion top floor.

Two exquisitely shaped figures sit before the Array Stone, glowing lights swirling around; the array patterns faintly appearing and disappearing.

Not far behind them, a graceful figure stands in the darkness.

Chu Liuya shows no impatience, as she has experienced even rougher situations before.

Her gaze is calm, looking at Chu Muyin with some contemplation.

The changes in Princess over the past two days could not escape her eyes as the Commander of Chu Guard.

However, currently, there seems to be nothing unusual.

Chu Muyin glanced unobtrusively backward, looked at that upright figure, and sighed inwardly.

She originally wanted to see if she could encounter Qin Yu here, like yesterday, but for some reason, her aunt kept following her and wouldn’t speak even when asked.

So, she felt uneasy at the thought of Qin Yu coming and her aunt witnessing the scene.

And if she refuses...

Chu Muyin sensed that Qin Yu would never force her. In fact, when he noticed her reluctance yesterday, he planned to have Bai Yaosha give guidance instead.

If her repeated whims make Master Qin impatient, she might miss the opportunity to spend time together.

How would she explain to her father then?

"Aunt, why don’t you go back first?"

Chu Muyin finally couldn’t help but speak up.

Chu Liuya shook her head, her whole being like a shadow in the darkness; if one didn’t carefully look for her with their eyes, they would hardly see where she was.

She was certain she wouldn’t disturb the two in their comprehension of the array patterns.

The Bai family woman was wholly immersed in the array without any concern, while the princess seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

Even her own aunt acts so distant?

It really chills the heart.

Is it because she’s too cold normally?

Yet, as the Commander of Chu Guard, she must often detach herself from her emotions, showing softness only occasionally towards this niece.

Time passed.

Chu Muyin couldn’t help but look back at the array, still motionless.

"Is Master Qin not coming today?"

Seeing Bai Yaosha just finish her contemplation, Chu Muyin couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know. Sometimes he doesn’t come."

Bai Yaosha explained briefly, then sank back into the array patterns.

Although Qin Yu’s guidance serves as a shortcut, Bai Yaosha never forgets her original intention and maintains a genuine passion for ancient arrays.

Even without Qin Yu here, she would still continually attempt to comprehend them on her own.

Unknowingly, she had already found a vague pattern in her understanding of the ancient array patterns.

Though she could not compare to Qin Yu, her pace of comprehension, even with only a High Tier Spiritual Power, was not inferior to some Micro Level Array Masters.

Moreover, she had her own unique insights in perfecting arrays.

Watching Bai Yaosha’s fascination with the array, Chu Muyin suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

The Bai family woman, not much older than herself and with the Primordial Yin Qi still present, clearly was uninitiated.

Yet the other could maintain a sincere heart for arrays, unlike herself, who often overthinks.

Could it be that the restraints of royal etiquette are too deep within her?

Chu Muyin had some self-doubt.

"Buzz..."

Just then, the array on the top floor suddenly activated as a tall figure strode in.

Qin Yu glanced around, seeing Bai Yaosha and Chu Muyin by the incomplete array, unsurprised.

Soon, his gaze settled on the shadows not far away.

There, a graceful figure stood silently, as if he wasn’t extremely familiar with this place, it would be challenging to find her; even her aura didn’t spill out at all.

Looking sideways, he saw that the figure was wearing leather armor, as if the surrounding light was absorbed by the armor, completely merging with the shadows.

Qin Yu’s sharp eyes clearly saw the proud silhouette of the figure, the close-fitting leather armor outlining an alluring curve, reminding him of the encounter with a Flame Guard like a female war god in the Mountain Miao Hall.

Unlike that, this figure was more concealed, and her figure more mature.

Of course, Qin Yu had no disrespectful intentions, as he sensed an extremely dangerous ripple from her; her captivating presence was like an unsheathed sharp sword.

He had no doubt, that if she were to suddenly erupt, she would undoubtedly strike with a thunderous blow.

"Who might this be?"

Qin Yu’s expression tightened slightly, but he sensed her aura was cold, without the slightest hostility.

"It’s my aunt. She’s... a bit worried about me being alone."

Chu Muyin explained with some embarrassment.

Qin Yu nodded, not finding it strange.

He had long heard of the princess being deeply cherished by Emperor Chu, surely she wouldn’t be let to come alone to the Great Yan Imperial Capital without a guardian like this formidable presence.

Meanwhile, Chu Liuya’s gaze swept over Qin Yu.

To her surprise, she found she couldn’t discern his cultivation realm, nor sense his root bone and spiritual power.

It was as if a mysterious force completely isolated those aspects.

Chu Liuya was somewhat amazed, for anything that could cloak her perception, certainly wouldn’t be simple.

In fact, Qin Yu hadn’t used the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant given by the Empress to conceal his aura; it was merely a function of the Earth-Departing Flame Banner. Not to mention Chu Liuya, as long as he intended to hide, even a Half-Venerable might find it hard to discern.

"How is Princess’s comprehension going?"

Qin Yu didn’t scrutinize the aunt further, as she was merely an unlit lamp.

As long as she didn’t illuminate, affecting their earnest understanding of the array patterns, it was harmless.

"Master Qin, I..."

Chu Muyin felt somewhat embarrassed, after pondering for most of the day here, there was almost no progress, it was indeed a bit hard to admit.

This was originally something very normal, after all, without enlightenment, even an Array Master would find it difficult to make progress. However, facing Qin Yu, Chu Muyin felt that this really shouldn’t be the case.

"It’s alright, continue to ponder, if you have any doubts later, just ask me."

Qin Yu said openly.

"Hmm?"

Chu Liuya was surprised in her heart.

Chu Muyin’s accomplishments in Spiritual Power were considered the most genius among the royal family in decades, perhaps she could reach the Micro Level before eighteen.

At that time, even in the Immortal Country, she could be called a Master.

And this young man, he actually boasted shamelessly in front of her little niece?

Could it be... he really had some outstanding abilities?!

Soon.

Something that made Chu Liuya even more puzzled happened.

She saw that guy walk straight to the back of the Bai Family girl, and then, his figure just leaned... boldly leaned on her.

The posture simply made her dumbfounded.

Turns out he’s a rogue!

Hmph, taking advantage of others in a crisis, truly shameless to the extreme!

No, she must make her little niece keep a distance from him, must not let this person tarnish the Princess’s eyes.

"Buzz..."

However, just a moment had passed, the light on the Array Pattern surged, and complex lines emerged.

"What is this?"

Chu Liuya’s eyes narrowed, a trace of astonishment appeared on her icy face.

She suddenly recalled the title Princess called this person... Master Qin.

Is he the very Master Qin whom her Imperial Brother repeatedly instructed, even urging a softer attitude towards him?

In just a short time, he was already repairing the Array Patterns, his accomplishments in Arrays were too terrifying!

No wonder the Princess held him in high respect.

However, this does not mask his rogue behavior.

Ha!

Always putting things beside that Bai Family girl.

The other person is indeed an Array fanatic, completely oblivious.

Chu Liuya had no doubt, if this guy dared to do such a thing to her little niece, the Princess would definitely send him flying with one palm.

In comparison, her little niece was still sensible.

Maintaining purity is the most basic etiquette of the royal family.

Chu Muyin stared dumbfoundedly at the two people’s bodies touching, lightly bit her lips.

Her Spiritual Power was keen, naturally she could feel her aunt’s peculiar gaze, thinking of what might happen later, her beautiful pure face couldn’t help but blush.

If her aunt saw it, what would she think?

But, considering her aunt’s attitude, she might miss the chance to converse with Master Qin.

"Princess, adjust your mindset, once Yaosha finishes pondering, you give it a try too."

Qin Yu glanced at Chu Muyin, slightly frowned, reminded.

This bastard, what’s he saying?!

Chu Liuya was shocked.

What do you mean give it a try?

Being so intimately snuggled together is one thing, but randomly putting things is another.

Such indecent utterance, how could he say it out loud?

Little niece, quickly reprimand this rogue!

"Yes, Master Qin!"

Chu Muyin’s expression condensed, nodded immediately.

Turns out, Master Qin did not disregarded her, even while guiding Bai Yaosha, he did not forget to remind her.

"???"

Chu Liuya’s gaze was bewildered.

What’s wrong with the little niece?

He’s insulting you!

Chu Liuya felt a subtle change in her mindset that hadn’t fluctuated in over ten years.

Faced with her beloved little niece, Chu Liuya had an urge to shake her awake.

Wait.

Maybe she was overthinking?

Perhaps Bai Yaosha and Master Qin had a deep connection, hence their actions were so intimate.

Although, not considering herself and the Princess as part of it seemed excessive, it’s understandable.

After all, he is the Array Master esteemed by her Imperial Brother, having some quirks, although eccentric, is no surprise.

Maybe what he meant by give it a try was merely a genuine guidance to her little niece, not what she imagined to be unbearable.

Considering this, it’s understandable why Chu Muyin wasn’t repelled and held such respect.

This individual’s accomplishments in Ancient Arrays were indeed astonishing.

With his guidance, it’s an opportunity for anyone wanting to progress in Arrays.

Thinking of this, Chu Liuya finally calmed down temporarily, gazing nonchalantly at the combined figures.
