Time flowed on. Ye Lin and Yue Qingyi continued wandering the world, going wherever the excitement was.
They had no destination, no place to call home.
Throughout it all, Yue Qingyi played while Ye Lin watched from the side, protecting her safety at every moment.
He was like a full-time bodyguard.
Ye Lin swore this was the first time he had ever served as someone else's bodyguard.
"This kid really has something."
Within a magnificent hall, the old man stared uncertainly at the flickering candle flame before him.
"Third Ancestor, compared to a year ago, this flame has grown considerably stronger. Could it be that Qing'er has completely escaped her death tribulation?"
The middle-aged man seated beside the old man spoke with an excited expression.
The old man, meanwhile, stroked his chin and sank into thought.
This flame was Yue Qingyi's life flame. A year ago, Yue Qingyi's life flame had been incomparably weak, as though it might go out the very next moment.
But now, the flame had actually grown ever more vigorous.
That meant Yue Qingyi's condition was several times better than it had been a year ago.
He had originally believed Yue Qingyi would never overcome this death tribulation, but now it seemed the matter still required further consideration.
"This old man does not know either. But Qing'er's condition has indeed improved greatly."
The old man shook his head.
Even with all his vast experience, he could not make up his mind at this moment.
But he knew one thing: death tribulations were not so easily crossed.
He had originally made all the necessary preparations, yet Ye Lin had now given him a surprise.
"Then... Qing'er, she..."
"Rest assured. At the very least, everything is moving in a good direction now. That kid does have some skill.
