Chapter 52 – Li Zixuan Goes Berserk? Qin Yang Comes to the Rescue!

The library was bustling with people coming and going.

Qin Yang glanced at Li Zixuan’s location and quietly released a strand of spiritual energy, like an imperceptible stream of water, slowly enveloping her.

In less than a moment.

All information about her mental state flowed back into Qin Yang’s perception.

“Erratic energy, agitated heartfire…”

“This is a sign of impending qi deviation!”

Qin Yang was stunned, finding it hard to believe.

What’s going on?

The Empress could also suffer from qi deviation?

Under normal circumstances, as a prodigy dominating this era, Li Zixuan shouldn’t be facing such a dangerous situation.

It must be understood that qi deviation has extremely severe consequences for martial artists.

In mild cases, it leaves psychological barriers, greatly affecting cultivation realms, making it difficult to advance even a single step for the rest of one’s life.

In severe cases, it can lead to death and the dissipation of one’s Dao!

“Tsk, if it really comes to that, it would be quite troublesome.”

Qin Yang frowned slightly, weighing the pros and cons.

The current situation was very unfavorable.

First of all.

As the system-designated Empress, Li Zixuan’s future achievements are limitless; she will later resist countless Star Beasts and safeguard humanity.

Logically speaking.

With her exceptional talent in the Sword Dao and her youth.

She shouldn’t be reaching the point of qi deviation so soon.

So why has qi deviation come so early?

Could it be…

Because of my presence?

At this thought, Qin Yang recalled the Sword Dao he had taught her at Broken Peak Mountain and gradually formed an idea.

That’s right.

This is indeed possible.

“My appearance has altered the future.”

After all, to some extent, teaching Li Zixuan sword techniques is equivalent to interfering with the future in another form.

Originally, Li Zixuan had her own path in the Sword Dao, whether arduous or smooth.

It all depended on her own fate.

But now it’s different.

By taking her as my disciple and forcibly intervening in her life, I’ve changed her original destiny.

At this moment.

The core sword technique Li Zixuan uses has also become “One Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate,” no longer the Sword Dao from her original fate.

“Could it be… that the sword technique I taught her has affected her?!”

Thinking of this.

Qin Yang couldn’t help but glance at Li Zixuan’s desk.

Piles of complex Sword Dao texts were stacked like mountains, almost suffocating, while Li Zixuan, her brows furrowed, was bent over her Notebook, trying to deepen her understanding of the Sword Dao.

Vaguely, she seemed to be trapped in a state of overthinking!

“Ah, what’s the point of overthinking like this!”

After understanding the situation, Qin Yang shook his head and sighed, stroking the soft fur on Xiaobai’s head with his right hand, feeling quite helpless.

What should he do now?

He still needed to reap rewards from the system through Li Zixuan in the future.

If she falls into qi deviation and something happens…

Wouldn’t that mean losing his status as her cheap master?

How many more opportunities would there be to interact with the Empress in the future?

Without chances to interact, how could he reap rewards from the damn system?

“No, I must find a way to guide this girl!”

Qin Yang looked at Li Zixuan, thinking this.

Helping Li Zixuan now was also equivalent to helping himself.

He must protect this “big tree” that could yield rewards.

Moreover, taking the time to interact with her might even trigger new system rewards.No matter how you look at it, I’m not at a loss!

A mere effort would accomplish this win-win strategy!

“Old Qin, why are you still staring at her?”

At that moment, Xia He beside him nudged Qin Yang’s shoulder and reminded in a low voice, “It’s very impolite. Stop looking, or you might make her angry later.”

As he spoke, Xia He tossed a book over and said, “If you want to look, at least do what I do—use something as a cover…”

As his words trailed off.

Li Zixuan, who was reading in the distance, seemed to sense something. She lifted her head, her beautiful eyes shifting lightly, and glanced in Qin Yang’s direction, her heart growing increasingly irritated.

“Those two again.”

She turned her gaze to Qin Yang, still remembering him somewhat.

The last flirtation in the Library remained vivid in Li Zixuan’s memory, and since Qin Yang was handsome, she had a rather deep impression of him.

But inexplicably, looking at the two of them now, Li Zixuan suddenly felt a surge of irritation.

No matter how she looked at them, they seemed utterly displeasing.

“Loafing around every day, only knowing how to discuss others—can’t they focus their minds on cultivation?”

“If the Star Beasts come, how long could they survive with such low strength?”

“Are the humans I’ve vowed to protect all like this?Several delusions surged in Li Zixuan’s mind, impacting her mental state.

Bang!

The Sword Heart she had cultivated suddenly cracked, countless chaotic thoughts rising like a boiling turmoil, anger spreading throughout her body.

The path of cultivation was inherently arduous.

Heaven and hell were separated by a single thought.

Li Zixuan gripped her pen, overwhelmed with irritation.

Suddenly!

A faint, almost imperceptible spiritual energy spread, nourishing her body and mind, like spring rain falling silently, effortlessly dissolving her delusions.

“Huh?”

Li Zixuan was about to erupt in anger but abruptly realized something was wrong with her.

“Strange, what’s happening to me?”

Before, no matter how others talked about her, she wouldn’t feel the slightest stir. Yet now, she was getting angry over two mere administrators?

“I shouldn’t be like this…”

“Is it because I’ve been watching for too long?”

Thinking this, Li Zixuan frowned at Qin Yang and Xia He, then rose from her seat, slung her single-strap bag over her shoulder, neatly gathered the books on the table, and headed out of the Library for some fresh air.

Xia He watched her retreating figure and sighed to Qin Yang beside him,

“See, Old Qin, what did I tell you! Now she’s really angry!”

“……”

Qin Yang didn’t respond, merely staring silently at Li Zixuan’s retreating back, his eyes flickering.

………

Evening.

Migratory birds returned to their nests, and vehicles streamed endlessly on the roads.

Outside the Suburbs, Li Zixuan slowly stepped out of a taxi and entered Broken Peak Mountain alone, ready to begin comprehending the sword intent.

She wandered solo along the rugged mountain paths, dressed in light, casual athletic wear.

Her mind was in turmoil now; no place in the city could grant her peace.

Only by entering Broken Peak Mountain and sensing the Sword Intent left by her teacher could she reclaim a moment of relaxation.

“Teacher, when will you finally come to see me?Li Zixuan climbed over a massive boulder and arrived before the断口 of Broken Peak Mountain, her thoughts drifting endlessly.

The bright moon hung high above her, solitary and appearing utterly helpless.

Yet, right at that moment.

“Disciple.”A familiar voice suddenly rang out, clear as a bell, drifting leisurely from behind her.

Hearing the voice, Li Zixuan was instantly overwhelmed with excitement and abruptly turned around.

“Teacher, you’ve finally come to see your disciple!”
