Tender was unconscious in the room.
Wu Qianhuan sat cross-legged in meditation...
The effects of the Soul Weeping Chaos Spirit Array were still present. Judging by its appearance, they seemed to have grown even stronger than before.
Without Chu Qing's help, Wu Qianhuan could only rely on herself to hold on.
That was extremely difficult for her.
Chu Qing had taught her a mantra and told her to try circulating her energy to resist it. After all, he would need to find a way to awaken Tender in a moment and would not have the time to look after her. He could not let her continue suffering like this.
As for Huangfu Yixiao before him, he seemed completely oblivious to the movements outside.
"The Soul Weeping Chaos Spirit Array seems to have no effect on Young Master Huangfu?"
Chu Qing picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.
Huangfu Yixiao said:
"It does. The Sword Heart left an image behind, but my Sword Intent cut it apart."
"Impressive."
Chu Qing praised him.
The Sword Emperor Huangfu Changkong was certainly no one who had earned his reputation undeservedly. It was only natural that the sword techniques of his lineage had something extraordinary about them.
Chu Qing lifted his teacup.
"What is Miss Jiang's background?"
Hearing Chu Qing ask so directly, Huangfu Yixiao did not hide anything either.
"As you can see, she is the owner of Myriad Treasures Pavilion...
"But that is not all."
After saying only two sentences, Huangfu Yixiao paused, seemingly organizing his thoughts and wording.
In the end, he said:
"Actually, the origins of Myriad Treasures Pavilion are extremely mysterious. Even I know very little about them."
That single sentence made Chu Qing instinctively look up at him.
To outsiders, those words might not seem like much.
