Chapter 602: Chapter 487: Does He Ever Have Free Time?_1

"That woman seems to be the young Heavenly Master from Longhu Mountain." A girl beside the Ministry of Personnel’s Shilang Liu Zongquan enigmatically reminded him, "Li Xuan himself has defeated several heavenly level opponents with outside help, you’re not their match."

She happened to be Liu Zongquan’s niece, a descendant of the former Lord of Shu, Wang Jian.

Due to some reasons, Liu Zongquan didn’t trust her to be alone, hence he always took her with him.

At this moment, she stood on a paper crane, hovering behind Liu Zongquan.

"I know! You don’t have to tell me." Liu Zongquan huffed and sheathed the sword he had drawn back heavily.

The girl then gave him an odd glance: "Uncle, you were assigned to infiltrate the court, firstly because of the important task entrusted to you by that person, secondly for the treasure of the Leshan Giant Buddha. Yet it seems that you can’t complete either of these tasks."

Although the girl’s face was expressionless, she felt quite pleased inside.

Although she didn’t know why Liu Zongquan, with his over three hundred years of age, disguised himself as a sixty-year-old scholar and infiltrated the court, she understood that they must have grand plans.

But now, Li Xuan had ruined everything.

"Shut up!" Sure enough, a shade of cyan appeared on Liu Zongquan’s face, and the veins on his sword-holding hand bulged.

Li Xuan, oblivious of the people above watching him, was startled by Xue Yunrou’s sudden appearance: "Didn’t I tell you to wait in the Taoist Temple?"

Xue Yunrou just ’heh’ coldly laughed, then pointed to the sun that was about to hang directly above: "I have been waiting since sunrise, and still waiting till now. Should I wait till tomorrow then?"

She crossed her arms, her eyes serving Li Xuan an ill expression: "You’ve been busy these days, haven’t you? Even seeing you once is difficult. Seventeen magic messages in three days, and my Taoist boy tried to find you at least five times."

She also sought him several times, but Li Xuan was either processing official documents or riding his Jade Qilin around in the Capital City. He indeed had no time to accompany her.

Li Xuan looked embarrassed: "Yunrou, you know what I’ve been busy with these days. Can that be delayed? I hurried over here as soon as I left the Ministry of Rites."

Then he pretended to be angry, and walked directly towards his residence: "Alright, I’m tired today. I need to rest."

Of course, Xue Yunrou knew what Li Xuan had been doing, which was for revenge for Luo Yan, as well as taking care of court matters, clearing the world’s misconceptions, and pleasing many people.

The review of Xia Guangwei’s case, restoring this Imperial Censor’s reputation benefited both the country and its people greatly.

She also knew that group of people led by Wei Zhen had significant power both inside and outside the court.

Before everything settles down, Li Xuan cannot relax.

But understanding all this, Xue Yunrou couldn’t help being upset.

However, seeing Li Xuan’s exhausted expression and dispirited demeanor, she started to feel sympathetic.

"You’re still talking back?"

Xue Yunrou pouted, looking quite angry but grabbed Li Xuan’s sleeve and said: "Xuan, you’re clearly the one in the wrong here. How dare you show me an angry face?"

Secretly, Li Xuan rewarded himself a compliment, then turned back, managing a wry smile: "I am indeed a bit angry. Didn’t I ask your Huoyun Phoenix to keep an eye on me? Don’t you know what I’ve been up to? Which moment have I been able to rest these days? Yet, Yunrou, you still say things like this."

It was alright until he mentioned the Huoyun Phoenix. As soon as he brought up the bird, Xue Yunrou became furious.

She ordered the Huoyun Phoenix to monitor Li Xuan under the guise of finding her lover. However, the bird only messed around on the rooftop of Duanshiguan Yamen of the Central Army most of the time.

When the Huoyun Phoenix returned and Xue Yunrou questioned it on what Li Xuan had been up to, it played dumb.

The Divine Blood Azure Phoenix standing on Li Xuan’s shoulder was shivering, grudgingly looking at Li Xuan.

The thought of having been worthy of its master this time crossed its mind. To provide cover for Li Xuan, it fought for a day and a half straight, during which it swallowed at least three Yang-enhancing drugs.

Xue Yunrou suspected Li Xuan of hiding something, but she had no evidence.

"Forget it." Xue Yunrou took a deep breath to calm her emotions.

She thought that she should register under some technique in the Liudao Division next time, so she could go along without raising suspicion in similar situations in the future.

Since she assumed the position of Young Heavenly Master and arrived in Beijing, she hadn’t registered in the Liudao Division.

If Li Xuan didn’t have time for her, she would accompany him instead.

Seeing Li Xuan’s exhausted look, she now asked with a cold huff: "Are you done with your tasks now?"

"Almost, there will likely be no unexpected variables with this matter."

Li Xuan led Xue Yunrou towards her temple with a gleeful smile: "Come on, Yunrou, let’s go to your room."

Upon hearing this, Xue Yunrou’s pretty face blushed: "Why go to my room in broad daylight? Also, aren’t you wary of Yu Hongchang anymore?"

Based on her past experiences, every time they went to her room, they would be passionately intimate.

Li Xuan thought at this time, how could Yu Hongchang have the time to care about him? She had been in the palace for the past few days regarding the Crown Prince’s poisoning, leaving no time for his affairs.

However, he looked at Xue Yunrou with a puzzled expression: "What are you thinking? What do you mean ’in broad daylight’? I just want to show you something that I made for you."

※※※※

When Liu Zongquan saw Li Xuan again, it was nearing evening.

He cursed inwardly. This indulgent couple had spent half the day fooling around in their room during daylight, making him wait so long. At the same time, he felt relieved, thinking that the guy had finally stepped out.

Liu Zongquan’s eyes slightly hardened, and the longsword at his waist was drawn halfway out of its sheath.

But just as Liu Zongquan’s killing intent was gradually mounting, he noticed a girl in silver armour across the street who was walking over from the other side of the road. The moment she saw Li Xuan, her brows lifted, and her stunning face lit up with joy.

Liu Zongquan frowned, and the longsword he had drawn was sheathed again.

"Why didn’t you make a move?" A girl beside him asked curiously, "That’s just a Fumo Xiaowei, called Jiang Hanyun, and her cultivation should only be at the ninth house level, right?"

Liu Zongquan gave her a glance and then snorted without answering.

She was indeed just a Fumo Xiaowei, but according to the information he had collected, this woman’s combat prowess was very impressive. In the past six months, she had single-handedly killed three of the Fourth Gate members, easily, within one or two moves.

At present, the Liudao Division was preparing to reassign Zhu Chiling, the Chilei Department’s general commander, to Nanjing as a vice lord, with Jiang Hanyun taking over the Chilei Department.

And his main concern for this attack was speed. Even a moment’s delay could alert nearby Jiang Yunqi and Xue Yunrou.

Liu Zongquan couldn’t afford to take that risk, he would rather wait a little longer.

But that wait turned out to be two full Shichen. Li Xuan walked into the Jiang medical clinic with the girl in silver armour, and then didn’t come out for two whole Shichen!

This made Liu Zongquan’s face twitch slightly, he wondered if Li Xuan did anything else in his life besides doing it?

At this time in Jiang Hanyun’s boudoir, the two of them were sitting face to face. A force of Yin and Yang intertwined souls formed a bridge between their brows. Under the moonlight outside the window, it looked like a silver chain, displaying an astonishing beauty.

Once Li Xuan’s cultivation had crossed the seventh house level, they no longer needed the help of mercury while practicing the Shentian Dual Essence Technique.

At this time, however, their cultivation had come to an end.

Li Xuan retracted his Soul Power from Jiang Hanyun’s side, "You should be close, right? How much longer?"

What he was referring to was Jiang Hanyun’s cultivation breakthrough. She was now on the threshold of the tenth house level, and a breakthrough was imminent.

Her progress was slower than Xue Yunrou’s. Xue Yunrou, half a year younger than Jiang Hanyun, had overtaken her.

But Xue Yunrou relied on the unique Secret Technique of the Tianshi’s mansion, while Jiang Hanyun progressed step by step, very firmly.

Only Li Xuan knew at this time how terrifying Jiang Hanyun’s combat power was.

Especially after she broke through the tenth house and entered the Fourth Gate. If she and Xue Yunrou really fought, it would probably be hard to determine the winner.

After Jiang Hanyun obtained that immortal treasure, her control over ’Force’ and ’Thunder’ had become very formidable.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but feel inferior, he had already received Jiang Hanyun’s ’Force’ through Dual Cultivation.

But Jiang Hanyun was already beginning to master the gravitational and strong forces, while he hadn’t yet touched the door leading to ’blend thunder and strength’.

Jiang Hanyun’s ability to integrate her strength into thunder was very enviable to Li Xuan.

If he were to master ’blend thunder and strength’, not only would he have the ’Divine Thunder of Yushu’ and ’innate Thunder Crystal’ with their powerful destructive capabilities, but he could also use thunder as a medium to transmit his own power. How terrifying would that be?

"It will be within these two days." Jiang Hanyun spoke about it, very pleased, "If you help me, it will be two days, without your help, it will be about five or six days."

Li Xuan knew she was referring to the ’Shentian Dual Essence Technique’, he promptly responded with a smile, "If we were to Dual Cultivate, it would be even faster, breaking through two months earlier, so when are we going to start the third stage?"

Jiang Hanyun blushed, spat out, "Get out!"

Then she looked at Li Xuan’s chest with some concern, "Don’t you need my help with those residual Yi of the sword?"

Li Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m already at the eighth house level."

Jiang Hanyun thought about it and realized he was right. If Li Xuan’s cultivation was able to break through, it meant there was not a major issue.

And with his increasingly peak-level Zhenyuan Mana, it would be easy for him to drive out those scattered Yi of the sword.

So Jiang Hanyun blushed and issued a dismissal order, "Why are you still lingering here? It’s almost midnight. If people find out, they will gossip."

But in fact, she no longer had a reputation to speak of. For the past few months, whenever Li Xuan was free, he would stay until late into the night.

Her parents had long given their tacit approval.

"Wait a minute." Li Xuan merrily took out a small puppet from his Qiankun bag, "I have a gift for you, I carved it myself."

At first, Jiang Hanyun didn’t pay much attention. But as the music started, she was captivated after just one glance.

So when Liu Zongquan saw Li Xuan again, it was already the Hour of Zi, at midnight.

He immediately reached for his sword, preparing to take action, thinking that this time, he should be able to do it, right?

But the next instant, his face twitched slightly and he let go of his hand again.

Simply because at that time, he saw a dragon flying in from the sky.
