Saving the Guardian Spirit Divine Vine

I did it!

Xia Youyu opened her eyes and began to talk to herself.

Like Hu Niu, she broke through from the Heavenly Passage Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"If it weren't for Brother Qian's Monkey Wine, how could I have broken through so quickly?"

Two weeks later.

The Heaven Mending Pavilion looked at Shi Hao with hopeful eyes and asked, "Xiao Hao, Ageless Spring?"

this...

Shi Hao looked at the Heaven Mending Pavilion, unsure how to explain, "I'm sorry, the Ageless Spring was stolen. I was about to get it, but someone beat me to it. I was no match for that person at all, because even the Divine Monkey of the Hundred Shattering Mountains was no match for him."

So that's how it is! Could it be that what he said was true? The Heaven Mending Pavilion asked thoughtfully, "Xiao Hao, what was that person's name?"

"His name is Qian Ye," Shi Hao replied truthfully.

Qian Ye! It really was him. It seems he really wasn't lying to me; only he possesses the Ageless Spring.

"Do you know him?" the Heaven Mending Pavilion asked him tentatively. He had no intention of telling him that a person named Qian Ye had already come looking for him.

After all, to find out Qian Ye's background, Shi Hao might be the key. If he really is from the same village as Shi Hao, then he wasn't lying; if not, then his purpose in coming to the Heaven Mending Pavilion is very questionable, and we need to re-examine him.

"Yes," Shi Hao said with displeasure, "He lives in our Stone Village. I saw him Stone Village when I was very young! Although he doesn't have the surname Shi, he settled in Stone Village before me, and even now, neither our clan chief, Willow Deity, knows his origins."

"Although he always appeared and disappeared mysteriously, he had always lived in Stone Village. He was a stranger there, merely lodging for a while. Of course, given the contributions he made to Stone Village, he could have long ago become a true Stone Village. 6̷9̷s̷h̷u̷x̷.̷c̷o̷m̷"

"Grandpa the clan chief also arranged a marriage for him in the village, with Little Hu Niu Little Hu Niu Uncle Shi Linhu's family. He plans to have them marry in a few years. By then, he will be a true resident of Stone Village. Moreover, his abilities are the most outstanding in our Stone Village; even our village's Guardian Spirit priest has to give him some respect!"

Hmm, what that person said matches what Xiao Hao said. It seems he wasn't lying to me, but I didn't believe him back then! Now it's all over. If Xiao Hao really didn't bring back the Ageless Spring, then the Guardian Spirit is beyond saving!

The Heaven Mending Pavilion darkened at this thought, but then he remembered something else, and hope returned to his face. "That's right Youyu! He said you can ask Youyu if you want to find him."

Shi Hao was unaware that Qian Ye had arrived at the Heaven Mending Pavilion half a month ago.

Heaven Mending Pavilion, in the Small Forest behind the mountain.

Qian Ye and Xia Youyu embraced, gazing at the sky, reminiscing about the past two weeks.

"Brother Qian, why don't you and Hu Niu have the same surname? Doesn't she always call you brother?" Xia Youyu suddenly asked curiously about his relationship with Hu Niu.

She didn't ask Hu Niu that question, not because she didn't want to, but because she was afraid of touching on her private matters and embarrassing her.

So today I'll ask Qian Ye and see what he has to say.

Actually, she had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

I just never dared to ask.

Qian Ye: "The fact that you asked me means you didn't ask Hu Niu?"

Xia Youyu nodded. "There are some things I know I can't ask. She won't tell me, and I don't dare to ask either."

Qian Ye looked over there before saying, "Yes, that's right. Hu Niu actually lost both her parents at a young age and is an orphan. When I came to Stone Village, she was only three years old. The old clan chief of Stone Village arranged for me to stay at her house, so she has always called me brother. So many years have passed, and she is now sixteen years old and has grown into a young lady."

"So that's how it is. I thought Hu Niu was your biological sister, but she's not." Xia Youyu understood immediately. "So you were a stranger when you first came to Stone Village, and stayed at Hu Niu's house, who was already an orphan, for more than ten years without leaving?"

Qian Ye: "Yes."

Xia Youyu gave him a thumbs up. "Hmm, so there's a reason why Hu Niu and you have such a good relationship. She already considers you true family, the person she trusts most in the world."

"Yes, I know about this. Besides her parents, I'm one of the closest people to Hu Niu. Of course, the people of Stone Village are also very good to Hu Niu, especially the old clan chief."

Xia Youyu nodded, not continuing the topic of Hu Niu, and changed the subject, saying, "Also, thank you. Without your Monkey Wine, I wouldn't have broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm so quickly. So you are my great benefactor, Xia Youyu. How can I possibly thank you?"

"There's no need for formalities between us." With that, Qian Ye kissed Xia Youyu's red lips again.

Xia Youyu also kissed him passionately, like first lovers, their hearts in perfect harmony.

The weather was fine and sunny; what a beautiful moment.

The two thus took another step closer, from strangers to getting to know each other better.

The next day, early in the morning.

Bang bang bang~

Qian Ye was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by a knock on the door. He glanced at the door and saw that it was Xia Youyu and a fat man.

He immediately recognized him as the Pavilion Master of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, whom he had taken Hu Niu to visit a few days ago.

It seems Shi Hao has returned. Otherwise, he wouldn't remember him.

Qian Ye finished dressing, and in a flash, disappeared from the room.

"Youyu, why hasn't anyone opened the door yet?" the Heaven Mending Pavilion asked anxiously. He was afraid that the place had been abandoned and that he had suddenly left without saying goodbye, leaving no one to look for.

Xia Youyu knocked on the door again. "Sect Master, please don't be in a hurry. Brother Qian may have just woken up; he'll need some time."

"That's true." The Heaven Mending Pavilion nodded, feeling slightly relieved. "Then we'll wait a little longer."

I'm right behind you.

Suddenly a voice reached the ears of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, startling him.

He turned around and realized that the person in front of him was the boy named Qian Ye whom he had seen half a month ago. He was overjoyed. If he could see him, the Ageless Spring that could prolong life through Guardian Spirit would be found.

However, since I didn't trust him last time and refused his request to let Hu Niu join the Heaven Mending Pavilion, I hope he won't make things too difficult for me!

"Brother Qian, why aren't you in your room?" Xia Youyu asked.

Qian Ye: "I'm getting up early, let's take a walk."

"Okay." Xia Youyu looked at him with some suspicion.

Qian Ye turned around and went downstairs.

The two quickly followed, and the Heaven Mending Pavilion caught up and said, "Qian Ye, I'm sorry! I doubted your intentions. Shi Hao returned and explained everything to me, and I realized that I had been too petty!"

"It's good that you know."

"Well, as for Hu Niu joining the Heaven Mending Pavilion, I'll agree to that for now," the shameless Heaven Mending Pavilion said.

Qian Ye was speechless. With Hu Niu's current strength, you'd better beg the Heaven Mending Pavilion to join her!

So I didn't expose the Heaven Mending Pavilion; he got the benefit but was still acting innocent (??????)??(_`).

"But you must save Guardian Spirit. No matter what, as long as you are willing to save Guardian Spirit, my Heaven Mending Pavilion will definitely compensate you. You can open any kind of Jingbi you want."

Qian Ye: "Didn't you say you didn't believe me?"

"Um..." The Heaven Mending Pavilion scratched his head, feeling incredibly embarrassed, but since he needed a favor, he had to lower his stance. "Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time, okay?"

"Then let's go check on the Guardian Spirit Divine Vine first?" Qian Ye wasn't one to stick to his principles, and of course, he had his own goals. Once those goals were achieved, there was nothing wrong with helping them save the Divine Vine Guardian Spirit.

It's just a few drops of the Ageless Spring; I haven't even given it a second thought.

"Alright, Brother Qian."

The Heaven Mending Pavilion was overjoyed and immediately led the way.

Then, they arrived together before the Guardian Spirit Divine Vine.

"Brother Qian, this is our Heaven Mending Pavilion 'Guardian Spirit Divine Vine." The Heaven Mending Pavilion said, looking at the giant vine in front of him.

Qian Ye examined it closely; it showed no signs of Life and had undoubtedly died of old age. However, a small golden gourd had sprouted from it. "Master," he said, "This gourd is quite nice. May I pick it to hold my wine?"

"This... this..." Heaven Mending Pavilion Master stammered, unsure how to continue, "Well... Brother Qian, this is Guardian Spirit item, I can't make that decision!"

"Then ask her if it's possible. If it is, I'll give her three drops of the Ageless Spring, plus ten more." Qian Ye stated his terms.

Ten drops! The Heaven Mending Pavilion was overjoyed. If that's the case, then that's great. "Hmm, then I'll ask."

Qian Ye nodded.

Xia Youyu couldn't help but laugh, thinking to herself, "Brother Qian is really something, daring to even ask for Lian Guardian Spirit's gourd. He really dares to think, say, and do things."

The Heaven Mending Pavilion immediately bowed respectfully to the Guardian Spirit Divine Vine and said, "Guardian Spirit, this Brother Qian is willing to exchange ten drops of the Ageless Spring for your little gourd. Are you willing?"

The Guardian Spirit Divine Vine did not answer immediately.

The Heaven Mending Pavilion did not ask any further questions, giving her time to consider.

After all, this is no small matter.
