She was at a loss. Leaving was out of the question, but the upbringing of her prestigious family prevented her from doing so.
Staying was also unpleasant.
However, watching Qin Chuan calmly eating made her realize something new.
It was calmness, genuine calmness, not just empty words.
Perhaps it was the power of being without desire; he felt nothing for her, so naturally he didn't take her seriously.
Although she understood, she felt very uncomfortable, extremely uncomfortable. After all, she was a woman at heart, but a strong woman. A
strong woman is not only powerful in strength but also in spirit.
Qin Chuan ate for a while before looking up at Zhao Han. She was looking at him, and even when their eyes met, she didn't look away.
Her expression was calm, even a faint smile appeared on her face, making her look incredibly alluring.
Her Yin-Yang physique, this aura, combined with her stunning beauty, was truly captivating and deadly.
Qin Chuan admitted she was beautiful, but preconceived notions lingered. He disliked the Zhao family, and besides, she had attacked him the moment she appeared, with a deadly move.
Therefore, for such a person, one approach is not to expect anything to happen, and even if you get together, maintain a certain distance.
Another approach is to simply stay away.
Of course, some might say that killing her would be better.
However, this is the pride of the Zhao family, and besides, Qin Chuan might not have the strength to do so now.
Furthermore, Qin Chuan never intended to kill her; it wouldn't warrant such a move.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Qin Chuan stood up, smiled, and said, "Thank you for the treat. I enjoyed it very much. Goodbye!"
Qin Chuan intended to sever ties with her.
Zhao Han shook her head: "We are actually the person we've been searching for. Why are you so cold to me?"
Qin Chuan trembled.
These words struck him deeply.
Because the Haoran Overlord Body and the Yin-Yang Body are a celestial union, seemingly unrelated physiques, but in reality, both are supremely Yang bodies born from the Yin and Yang of heaven and earth.
Yin and Yang, heaven and earth, the Haoran Overlord Body, the righteous energy of heaven and earth—the Haoran Overlord Body is born from the Yin-Yang Body, and there are many similarities between the two.
It is said that the Haoran Righteous Energy is extremely strong and Yang, but it's not just that; the Haoran Righteous Energy, to a certain extent, is Yin-Yang energy, a balanced Yin-Yang energy.
This is why Qin Chuan was able to cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao to this level, and why he was able to absorb the Yin-Yang Fire Seed.
It wasn't because the Golden Divine Eyes could see the method; it was actually because of the Righteous Body. Otherwise,
even with just the Golden Divine Eyes, he wouldn't have succeeded so smoothly. In fact, without the Righteous Body, having only the Yin-Yang Divine Eyes would have been impossible.
So when Qin Chuan first saw Zhao Han's Yin-Yang Body, he was stunned. His instinct was to resist this arrangement of fate.
Actually, it wasn't just him; Zhao Han felt the same way. The reason she acted immediately, even as an assassin, was to try and change the course of history.
But she realized she couldn't change it, and she knew Qin Chuan was doing the same thing, so she was the first to bring it up.
Qin Chuan sighed, "I don't believe in these things. Let nature take its course!"
Zhao Han didn't say anything, watching Qin Chuan's figure disappear. She sat down, not leaving, but falling into deep thought.
...
Qin Chuan, who had left, was also very agitated. This was the first time he had encountered a woman he didn't want to pursue, yet felt unable to escape the manipulation of fate.
Because this woman possessed the Yin-Yang Body.
What he felt even more powerless than the so-called Nine Yin Body was the Nine Yin Body, the Extreme Yin Body—these were simply his destiny.
The Vast and Powerful Body, supremely strong and yang, balanced yin and yang, would become similar to a Yin-Yang Body upon fusion with the Nine Yin Body.
Further fusion with the Yin-Yang Body would transcend, surpassing the ordinary Yin-Yang Body—a sublimation of both.
Currently, Zhao Han's Yin-Yang Body only represented an improvement in level and realm.
Once fused, it would be an improvement in the entire rank, completely different from a mere increase in grade.
An improvement in grade is like a piece of ordinary poplar wood being upgraded to jujube wood, or even ironwood.
But it's still wood.
However, once it advances in rank, the wood directly transforms into rock or steel—a sublimation.
This is a metaphor, a massive metamorphosis.
Frankly, this would be incredibly attractive to Qin Chuan, but he couldn't bring himself to fuse simply for the sake of a breakthrough in his physical constitution.
Qin Chuan couldn't do it, not because he was noble, but because it was his bottom line.
He didn't want to violate his own will and principles—the most basic principle of a martial artist.
If you resort to any means necessary this time, it will be the beginning of your downfall, for you will encounter many temptations in your life.
One compromise might be insignificant, but it could be the root and the beginning of your utter ruin.
Back at the Jiang family home, his teacher was waiting for him, so he went directly to the Palace Master.
The Palace Master was drinking tea alone. Qin Chuan walked over with a smile.
Seeing Qin Chuan's expression, the Palace Master sighed softly and shook his head slightly: "You must have seen a lot."
"Yes!"
"I saved Jiang Tao's life by chance. He's a grateful person. At the time, he was about to become sworn brothers with another person, and he insisted on dragging me into it." The Palace Master said softly.
Before Qin Chuan could ask anything, the Palace Master slightly raised his hand to stop him.
"I know what you want to ask. Yes, the other person has an even bigger background. He's the King of Chuzhou. Jiang Tao's father and his father have a very deep relationship, a life-or-death bond, which is why this happened. That's why Jiang Tao is where he is today." Hearing
the Palace Master's words, Qin Chuan was stunned. He hadn't expected the Palace Master's sworn brother to be the King of Chuzhou, but judging from the situation, it didn't seem so prestigious.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, it was Jiang Tao who brought the Palace Master along, and besides, these two wouldn't ask their sworn brother for any favors.
"You've seen it too, they think highly of me, but I can't use that as a favor. Once or twice is fine, but if it goes on too long, too many times, I'll have nothing left."
Qin Chuan nodded.
"Besides, I really didn't intend to use it. Since we're sworn brothers, we should act like brothers. Unless we're truly in a bind, we shouldn't trouble others. This is a bad start, and I hope it never starts."
Qin Chuan liked the Palace Master's personality; it suited him very well.
"Qin Chuan, your teacher is incompetent, and you've suffered injustice." The Palace Master sighed softly.
Qin Chuan knew that the Palace Master must know what had happened. Thinking about it, it made sense; Qin Chuan was new here, and the Palace Master would naturally want to observe him and ensure his safety.
So it wasn't surprising that he had discovered something.
