"The capital?! Qin Xuan, you still blame me, don't you? You still blame me!"
Wang Yuyan stared at Qin Xuan with tear-filled eyes, trembling all over and shaking her head.
"What must I do for you to forgive me?! How about I call Tantai back? I'll go! I'll go and call her back, is that alright?"
"Yuyan, I am not blaming you," Qin Xuan felt a profound sense of powerlessness, as if he had a hundred mouths but couldn't explain himself.
As they say, life is full of coincidences, and this time, everything truly happened at once.
"You're not blaming me?" Wang Yuyan gave a bitter smile.
"If you're not blaming me, then why are you leaving?"
"Yuyan, things are not as you think."
"What do I think?" Wang Yuyan's expression was flustered. She sniffled suddenly and fumbled for her phone.
"I'll call Tantai right now, I'll go, I'll go to the overseas market and bring Tantai back. Qin Xuan, please don't go, I'm begging you, please don't go."
"Yuyan!"
Seeing Wang Yuyan's state, Qin Xuan's heart ached. Where was the elegance of the young lady of the Wang family that she once possessed?
And all of this was because of him, Qin Xuan.
He quickly grabbed Wang Yuyan's shoulders with both hands.
"Yuyan, calm down."
"How can I calm down? You, Qin Xuan, don't want me anymore, how can I possibly calm down?!"
Wang Yuyan shook off Qin Xuan's hands, kicked off her shoes, curled up into a ball with her knees hugged to her chest, and buried her head deeply.
"Yuyan." Qin Xuan leaned in to hug Wang Yuyan, gently stroking her back again and again.
"I won't leave you, believe me, okay?"
Wang Yuyan did not answer him, only repeating two words, Qin Xuan, with her hoarse voice, again and again.
Until her cries gradually subsided and peace returned.
Wang Yuyan fell asleep in Qin Xuan's arms.
Qin Xuan looked at Wang Yuyan in his embrace, his eyes filled with complexity. Was this, perhaps, too unfair to her?
*Buzz buzz.*
The vibration of his phone in his pocket brought Qin Xuan back to his senses.
He took it out and saw it was Ren Qixiang calling.
"What is it?"
"Qin Xuan, my grandfather wants to discuss something with you. When will you be free? I'll pick you up."
"I can do it now." Qin Xuan looked at the pitiable figure in his arms.
"Qixiang, could you come and take Yuyan back? I'll take your car to the tea house."
"Yuyan?" Ren Qixiang on the other end of the phone was clearly taken aback.
"What's wrong with Yuyan?"
"Nothing, it's just that... she's been too tired these past few days."
"Oh, I'll be right over then. Where are you? Send me your location."
Qin Xuan hung up the phone and sent his location.
Putting down his phone, Qin Xuan asked himself repeatedly, is this truly the right thing to do?
Could he really leave Wang Yuyan alone in Jiangbei?
Even though Wang Yuyan had become a cultivator now, and Jin Gong had left, there was still the Tang family. In Jiangbei, they were the biggest rival to the Wang Group.
Qin Xuan still shuddered remembering the time when Tang Ze of the Tang family colluded with the witch doctor.
What if it happened again?
Without him by her side, could she really be alright?
Qin Xuan looked out the car window. Perhaps, when he could let go of everything, have no attachments, and act on his whims, he would truly reach the realm of Ying Long.
Qin Xuan shook his head with a wry smile. If that were the case, would he still be himself?
Acting on whims?
In this world, where were there so many things that could be done on a whim?
Qin Xuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing. After a long while, he slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
He brought his index and middle fingers together and pointed at the Baihui acupoint on Wang Yuyan's head. A golden light flashed between his fingers, disappearing in an instant.
That was what Qin Xuan had prepared for Wang Yuyan.
The first part of the Vajra Sutra, and a trace of the primordial dragon power from the dragon pill.
The Vajra Sutra was an extremely powerful cultivation technique, but unfortunately, Wang Yuyan had a Yin-dominant feminine physique, making it difficult to cultivate. Thus, Qin Xuan could only teach her a portion of it for self-defense.
Moreover, Qin Xuan was not yet at the level where he could impart his understanding as a sudden enlightenment. Therefore, he only gave her the cultivation method, which she would have to cultivate herself.
In the future, he would help her find a suitable cultivation technique.
What was truly important was that trace of primordial dragon power from the dragon pill.
When Wang Yuyan encountered danger, this dragon power would transform into a barrier, protecting her.
Even if attacked by a Grandmaster-level expert, it would not be broken immediately.
The meaning of this golden light illustrated Qin Xuan's feelings.
This trip to the capital was absolutely necessary.
