CHAPTER 997: CHAPTER 987: REQUEST

When Li Huachun raised this question, Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying’s expressions changed simultaneously.

Back then, when the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree fell upon Yuji, it was initially just a vague figure, appearing obscurely in her mind.

Once that figure became a little clearer, the decree truly landed on her.

Although Shi Qingying hadn’t personally experienced the matter of the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree, her close relationship with Lady Yuji naturally meant she had learned some details of the matter from her.

In their view, the situation Li Huachun was facing now was very likely a sign that the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree was about to fall on him.

"Huachun, apart from occasionally seeing a vague figure in your mind, has anything else happened to you?" The two women exchanged a glance, took a deep breath, and Lady Yuji tentatively asked.

"At the beginning, it was just a vague voice, suddenly appearing in my mind when I was in seclusion."

"Fortunately, by then, I had already successfully entered the mid realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal. I stayed in seclusion merely to stabilize my realm, otherwise, if that voice suddenly appeared during my advancement, it would surely have interfered with my breakthrough, making it futile."

"The voice was very faint, as if trying to command me to follow some orders, but since it was unclear, I could never be sure if that was truly the case!"

"It was only in the past month or two that the vague figure suddenly appeared in my mind."

"Aside from that, nothing else unusual has happened to me!"

"Master, are you asking me this because you’ve also encountered a similar situation?"

...

Li Huachun heaved a long sigh and gave a wry smile. He sincerely asked Lady Yuji for advice.

If initially, upon hearing him raise this issue, Lady Yuji merely suspected that the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree might fall on him.

Now, after hearing Li Huachun speak in detail about these developments, she was at least eighty percent sure of it.

As a Quasi-Saint, even she was tormented by that magic decree, unable to eat or sleep, tormented to the extreme.

Thinking of the various situations she had faced, now descending upon her first disciple Li Huachun, Lady Yuji couldn’t help but feel a few pangs of reluctance in her heart.

After all, this first disciple, Li Huachun, had grown from a naive, thin youth to this day under her diligent guidance.

When he first appeared in the Yuxiang Garden this time, Lady Yuji was somewhat displeased with him, but after his heartfelt explanations, all her grievances had dissipated.

All she remembered now was that Li Huachun was the first disciple she valued highly.

Seeing the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree about to fall on her disciple’s shoulders, it seemed really difficult for her, as the master, to ignore it.

"Huachun, you are correct. I encountered a similar situation years ago."

"Though this thing can be extremely annoying, it won’t endanger your life for now."

"You don’t need to worry too much. A close friend of mine likely has a way to resolve your issue. It was with his help that I completely escaped that thing’s entanglement."

"When I get a chance, I’ll tell him about your situation. Given our friendship, since I asked, he likely won’t refuse to assist you!"

With her brows slightly furrowed, Lady Yuji pondered for a moment before solemnly promising Li Huachun.

Her close friend she referred to was undoubtedly Chen Hai.

Only being slightly affected by that vague figure, not yet drawn into the dream or officially receiving that magic decree, Li Huachun’s current situation was far less grievous compared to what Yuji herself experienced back then.

Even with the deep entanglement of the Supreme Xuanyuan’s magic decree, Chen Hai found a solution to help her. If he was willing to lend a hand, resolving Li Huachun’s situation shouldn’t pose a major issue.

"That figure unsettles me greatly; it’s such a relief that you have a solution, Master!"

"If possible, I hope you can ask your friend sooner rather than later, Master."

"Because of that troublesome entity, I’m in a daze all day, and I don’t want to live another day like this!"

Upon receiving the promise from Lady Yuji, Li Huachun, appearing anxious, immediately expressed his request.

Lady Yuji, having undergone a similar situation, naturally understood these sentiments.

She smiled and assured him, "Huachun, you are my first disciple under Yuji. How could I not care if something happened to you?"

"For the time being, don’t run around everywhere, just stay quietly at the Li Mansion."

"I will certainly keep your situation in mind, and as soon as there’s a chance, I will arrange everything for you as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Li Huachun visibly relaxed.

With gratitude, he looked at Yuji and said, "I owe you everything, Master, even my life already belongs to you!"

"Being affected by that troublesome entity, I’m a bit bewildered, so perhaps I should find a spot to rest temporarily here in the Yuxiang Garden!"

"This way, I can report to you daily, Master, and I’ll be the first to know if there’s any news from your friend."

With anticipation, Li Huachun looked at Lady Yuji, tentatively requesting.

Originally, the Yuxiang Garden housed only Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying, so proposing to stay there was slightly audacious.

However, for cultivators, such matters are often overlooked.

Lady Yuji and Shi Qingying, one being his master and the other his junior sister, when they first settled in Black Water Immortal City, wasn’t Li Huachun the only man staying in the Yuxiang Garden?

Although he had left the Yuxiang Garden a long time ago, it still counted as his former residence, which made Li Huachun dare to make this bold request to stay temporarily!

"The Yuxiang Garden is spacious, with just Ying and me living here, and quite a few rooms are vacant."

"Whether it’s you, Huachun, or even Yu and Feng’er who left years ago, your original places have always been kept. You just chose not to return after leaving."

"As long as you don’t mind the tranquility here at Yuxiang Garden, stay as long as you please!"

Facing Li Huachun’s request, Lady Yuji didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed.
