Seeing Chu Xiao injured, Tantai Qingxuan's eyes showed a slight fluctuation.
But she still turned and bowed slightly to Young Master Jun, saying, "Many thanks, Young Master Jun, for showing mercy."
Tantai Qingxuan knew very well.
What kind of outcome would it be to provoke a Young Lord of an Imperial Clan.
If it were any other Young Lord of an Imperial Clan, it would be normal to just kill Chu Xiao.
Not to mention, Chu Xiao's attack had no reservations.
Yet, in the end, Young Master Jun only injured Chu Xiao.
It could be said that this was already extreme benevolence.
"Since he is Young Lady Qingxuan's friend, Jun naturally won't fuss over it," Young Master Jun said with a faint smile.
Tantai Qingxuan felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this.
How many times had it been now?
From saving her life.
To giving Tantai Jade Dragon such a precious birthday gift.
And now, for her sake, not bothering with Chu Xiao's provocation.
This seemed to prove that she might have a place in Young Master Jun's heart.
Thinking of this, Tantai Qingxuan's heart couldn't help but flutter, and her ears turned slightly red.
And when Chu Xiao saw Tantai Qingxuan's expression, his heart ached as if being twisted.
He was injured, but Tantai Qingxuan's first reaction was not to come and check on his injuries.
Instead, she thanked Young Master Jun for his generosity.
This was simply unacceptable to Chu Xiao.
But he did have more important matters at hand right now.
"Give me back the Gourd!"
Chu Xiao gritted his teeth and uttered these words with difficulty.
Right now, his most important task was to reclaim the Qiankun Gourd.
This was the capital he relied on to rise.
Losing the Qiankun Gourd, Chu Xiao would completely lose his greatest confidence.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Qingxuan also looked at the Qiankun Gourd.
In Qingyang World, she could say she had witnessed Chu Xiao's rise every step of the way.
So, she naturally knew that the Qiankun Gourd had accompanied Chu Xiao for a long time.
As for the function of this Qiankun Gourd, Tantai Qingxuan did not inquire.
After all, everyone has their own secrets.
But she knew that this must be something extremely important to Chu Xiao.
And it should be a supreme treasure.
Thinking of this, Tantai Qingxuan couldn't help but look weakly at Young Master Jun.
To be honest.
Even if Young Master Jun really wanted to keep this Gourd, it would be very normal.
After all, Chu Xiao provoked him first.
Young Master Jun being able to spare his life was already giving Tantai Qingxuan a lot of Face.
Now, he wanted to reclaim the Qiankun Gourd.
Even Tantai Qingxuan felt too embarrassed to speak; it was truly a bit shameful.
Tantai Qingxuan's expression made Chu Xiao's heart suddenly ache.
Although he felt that Tantai Qingxuan had indeed changed a bit.
But now, Tantai Qingxuan was at least helping him.
This brought a touch of tenderness to Chu Xiao's originally agonizing heart.
At least Tantai Qingxuan still cared about him.
However, as a man, to need a woman to help him.
It could be said that Chu Xiao's self-esteem was greatly bruised.
But there was no other way, after all, the Qiankun Gourd was his most important item.
Seeing Tantai Qingxuan's pleading gaze, like a pitiful kitten.
Young Master Jun smiled faintly.
Actually, he no longer intended to keep this Qiankun Gourd.
The reason, well, was very simple.
Now was just the right time to do Tantai Qingxuan another favor.
For women, the means to conquer them is gentle like a knife.
"Since he is Young Lady Qingxuan's friend, I naturally cannot keep this item."
As Young Master Jun's words fell, he directly threw the Qiankun Gourd to Chu Xiao.
Even Chu Xiao was stunned.
He took the Qiankun Gourd, his expression outwardly calm.
But secretly, he hurriedly used his Divine Thought to scan and examine the Qiankun Gourd.
He found that the Qiankun Gourd was completely normal.
Even that page of golden foil was hidden deep inside, safe and sound.
"What's going on? He actually handed over the Qiankun Gourd so readily. Did he not discover the mysteries within the Qiankun Gourd?"
Chu Xiao thought to himself.
He instinctively felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint it.
The Qiankun Gourd was not that simple.
It contained various Formations and Restrictions.
Even the Universe World required Chu Xiao to activate it for it to manifest.
So Chu Xiao believed that Young Master Jun might not have truly discovered the Qiankun Gourd's real secret.
That's why he returned it so decisively.
But Chu Xiao did not know.
With Young Master Jun's Three Lifetimes Primordial Spirit and Ganges Grade Soul, the entire Qiankun Gourd was already fully understood by him.
And Young Master Jun had indeed discovered that page of golden foil.
It was the Time Book, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Books.
And Chu Xiao's various Divine Abilities that could affect time, such as Fleeting Light and Fixed Body Golden Light, etc.
Were all comprehended from the Time Book.
However…
This page of golden foil was only a part of the Time Book.
It was not the complete Time Book.
This made Young Master Jun slightly disappointed.
Even if he obtained this page of the Time Book, it would be very troublesome.
Because he would need to find the other remaining pages of the Time Book.
However, Chu Xiao, as the controller of the Time Book and the first to obtain this page of golden foil.
In the unseen, there would be a kind of Luck connected to the Time Book.
In other words.
As long as Chu Xiao was willing to search.
He would always have the possibility of finding the remaining pages of the Time Book.
It was just a matter of time.
And Young Master Jun himself needed to find Jiang Shengyi's four Souls, which would already divide his energy.
Where would he have the leisure to find the rest of the Time Book?
Therefore, Young Master Jun's approach was very simple.
He directly returned the Qiankun Gourd, along with the page of the Time Book, all to Chu Xiao.
Let Chu Xiao collect the Time Book himself.
When Chu Xiao had completely collected it, wouldn't it be more convenient for him to simply take it all at once?
This was like when Young Master Jun discarded the Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed before.
Young Master Jun was too lazy to cultivate the Hongmeng Purple Qi Seed himself.
So he left a hidden trick within it, then discarded it, letting it find its fated person.
When it cultivated into a hongmeng tree, Young Master Jun could just go and take it.
He had left a subtle Primordial Spirit imprint on the Qiankun Gourd.
If Young Master Jun needed to, he could locate Chu Xiao's position at any time.
As for Young Master Jun's arrangements, Chu Xiao was naturally completely unaware.
Tantai Qingxuan's Face showed pleasant surprise, and she bowed again, saying, "Qingxuan thanks Young Master."
Young Master Jun was clearly doing this out of consideration for her Face.
This made Tantai Qingxuan feel a sense of being flattered.
"There's no need to be so polite, Young Lady Qingxuan's request, I naturally must agree to it," Young Master Jun said with a smile.
A simple little trick.
It turned Chu Xiao into a treasure-seeking rat, and also did Tantai Qingxuan a favor.
It could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Young Master Jun's grasp and calculation of human hearts could be said to be meticulous.
Hearing Young Master Jun's slightly ambiguous words.
Tantai Qingxuan's fair, jade-like cheeks also showed a faint blush, incomparably charming.
Seeing this, Chu Xiao gritted his teeth.
But there was nothing he could do; his skill was inferior, and Young Master Jun's strength shocked him greatly.
However, Chu Xiao also believed that Tantai Qingxuan still had him in her heart.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have protected and helped him like this.
And Chu Xiao's resolve became even stronger.
He must find the remaining pages of golden foil.
Only then would he have the ability to truly contend with Young Master Jun.
