第三千二百七十四章 欧阳琴心

That voice seemed to have appeared in his dreams. Lin Xuan's expression turned狂喜至极.

Qinxin is indeed here!

Although it has been a thousand years since they last met, how could Lin Xuan forget his true love?

Perhaps their time together was scarce, but every smile and frown of his beloved wife were very familiar to him.

With the passage of time, he finally had the chance to reunite with his beloved. Lin Xuan's expression naturally showed excitement and joy.

However, Lin Xuan still did not immediately reveal himself. He had yet to fully understand the identity of this young girl in front of him. Whether she was an enemy or friend remained uncertain. Being cautious would not be amiss.

Deciding to observe further, Lin Xuan moved swiftly but silently, following behind the blue-robed maiden and entering the palace without being noticed.

Inside, the space opened up. Passing through a few corridors led them to a grand hall.

The decorations were simple, with only a few pots of flowers that emitted fragrant scents.

At the end of the hall, several cushions were scattered about, one of which was occupied by a young maiden with bright eyes and a beautiful smile.

"Qinxin!"

Lin Xuan used all his willpower to stop himself from walking over. Despite a thousand years apart, her appearance had not changed at all. She looked just as he remembered when they first met—her face that haunted his dreams.

No, she seemed even younger than before.

This would be impossible in the mundane world.

However, in the cultivation realm, it was different. After so many years, Qinxin's strength had far surpassed what it was on the mortal plane and even exceeded Lin Xuan's expectations. She had reached the Spirit Cultivation Stage.

Although she was still at an early stage and seemed to have just broken through recently, such a cultivation speed was already considered extraordinary.

Lin Xuan felt both surprised and somewhat incredulous. But after some thought, he vaguely guessed the reason behind it.

It couldn't be anything else but related to Fairy妙音.

Miao Yin had ulterior motives. Upon discovering Qinxin's Nine Spirit Body, she wanted to use a substitution technique, letting Qinxin take the brunt of the heavenly tribulation for her.

This woman's intentions were extremely malicious. However, in the cultivation realm, there was no such thing as a free lunch.

If Qinxin’s strength was too low, the success rate of taking the heavenly tribulation on her behalf would be negligible.

Such a situation was not what Miao Yin wanted to see. She didn't want to waste her efforts, trying to ensure that when the heavenly tribulation arrived, Qinxin could shield her from it. This woman had put in considerable effort.

Simply put, she spared no effort to boost Qinxin's strength as much as possible.

The stronger Qinxin became, the more useful she was to Miao Yin. Her success rate of withstanding the heavenly tribulation would be significantly higher.

Based on this reason, Miao Yin had been extremely generous towards Qinxin.

Various spirit pills and elixirs were freely supplied, and whenever there were any difficulties in her cultivation, Miao Yin never hesitated to offer guidance. Her efforts were tireless.

She was more generous than even her most trusted disciples.

As the saying goes: "Misfortune may be an actual blessing." Although Miao Yin's intentions were malicious, for Qinxin, she had indeed received substantial benefits.

Otherwise, with a mediocre Nine Spirit Body, it would have been impossible for her to reach such a level in just a few thousand years. This was all due to Miao Yin's favor.

Unfortunately, this woman's elaborate plans backfired, and she ended up helping others at the cost of her own life, allowing Qinxin to gain considerable strength.

Hearing this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel deeply moved. On the other hand,欧阳琴心’s face showed a hint of surprise. She wasn’t aware of his presence; despite her considerable cultivation, she naturally couldn’t penetrate his concealment technique.

"Junior Sister Qin, why are you here?" she asked the mysterious maiden.

It was no wonder Qinxin was puzzled. Miao Yin had treated her as a precious treasure that could withstand heavenly tribulations and kept her under tight surveillance. The barriers around her cave were formidable, allowing only Miao Yin herself to enter.

"Senior Sister, I came to save you."

The blue-robed maiden said nervously.

"Save me?"

"Yes, Master has gone out on business. With great effort, I managed to obtain the key to control these barriers from her. Senior Sister, please follow me and leave here quickly," she said hurriedly, her voice tinged with tension.

"You actually obtained the barrier command talisman."

Qinxin’s face showed surprise before she shook her head: "No, Junior Sister Qin, I can't drag you into this. If I escape, Miao Yin won’t spare you."

"Senior Sister, why are you saying such things? Master's heavenly tribulation will fall in a few more centuries. You’ll be dead if you stay here," the blue-robed maiden said anxiously.

"But how could I drag you into this?"

"Senior Sister, don't hesitate any longer. Of course, we'll leave together," she said resolutely after biting her lip.

"Leave with me?" Qinxin was surprised: "Junior Sister Qin, have you thought it through? You are Miao Yin's most favored disciple, with an untold future ahead. The Heavenly Sound Palace is a formidable entity. Are you really willing to abandon your sect and wander the world with me?"

"To be honest, I don't want to," the blue-robed maiden showed a hint of attachment on her face but quickly replaced it with determination: "But I understand the principle of repaying kindness. Last time, my cultivation went awry, almost leading to an irreversible situation. If not for Senior Sister's help, I might have perished. A life-saving favor cannot be taken lightly. How could I watch you fall?"

"That makes sense."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan finally understood the whole story. The mysterious blue-robed maiden was Miao Yin’s direct disciple, and Qinxin had once done her a favor, prompting her to prepare to help.

As they say: "There is retribution for good deeds and punishment for evil." Not all cultivators are cold-hearted; this young maiden understood the principle of repaying even a drop with a spring.

"Senior Sister, don't hesitate. Quickly leave with me from here. Even though Master has gone out, I have no idea when he will return. If there's any change, we won’t be able to escape," the blue-robed maiden said anxiously.

Qinxin’s face also showed a resolve.

But before she could speak, an unexpected voice interrupted: "Go, neither of you can leave."

"No good!"

The blue-robed maiden turned pale, and欧阳琴心 was shocked. With Miao Yin gone, they should be safe for now.

They never expected such a change to occur here, and that cold voice was all too familiar to them.

Looking up, several streaks of light flew past from afar, quickly approaching the hall and surrounding them. (To be continued...)
