Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Soaring Realm and the Half-Step Divine Travel Realm are separated by only one threshold: the "Great Freedom."

But this seemingly small step is actually as different as heaven and earth, an insurmountable chasm!

That's why Li Hanyi never noticed—

Senior Brother Baili Dongjun had already quietly stopped beside her, gazing at her silently for a long time.

Only now did she realize that Baili Dongjun had seen through her every word, action, and move in recent days.

Left with no other choice, to ensure the safety of Lin Quan and his group in the other world,

Li Hanyi had no choice but to briefly and concisely recount the general outline of events to Baili Dongjun.

She didn't mention the time-space mirror at all.

As for their ability to traverse the void, she simply attributed it to the rare talent of bloodline awakening.

To gain people's trust, she immediately activated the power of life—her skin and flesh tore open and then instantly healed, and her broken bones regenerated like spring vines breaking through the soil, causing Baili Dongjun's eyes to darken slightly.

Where do those ancient medicinal herbs, nine-death immortal herbs, and soul-corroding poisons come from? She frankly admitted: she stumbled upon the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire and collected them from the place where the cold flames meet.

As for Lin Quan and the others' identities? She only said that they came from a branch of a reclusive clan that had lived in seclusion for a thousand years, with strict ancestral rules and difficult to trace.

As soon as the words were spoken, the tension on Lin Quan and the other two's shoulders finally eased a little.

Supernatural abilities, spiritual plants, origins... these will eventually come to light and cannot be hidden.

As long as the secret of the Time Mirror remains unrevealed, that's a blessing!

But what even Lin Quan himself didn't expect was—

Qiao Jingjing, Li Hanyi, and others who had made contracts with him,

Not only is it restricted by the Mirror Spirit, preventing it from harboring murderous intent or malice towards its master;

There is an even greater, invisible constraint: any words, thoughts, or even vague hints related to the Time-Space Mirror...

Everything will be silently cut off and forcibly distorted by the Mirror Spirit!

Apart from Lin Quan, the one holding the mirror, everyone else who tried to utter even half a word...

It felt like there was sand in my throat, my thoughts suddenly drifted, and my words involuntarily veered off course.

Therefore, Li Hanyi spoke so flawlessly—not because she deliberately concealed anything, but because she simply couldn't bring herself to say it!

There are indeed reasons for this, and it is both reasonable and understandable.

However, the slight ripple in Lin Quan's heart did not subside.

Even though Li Hanyi kept her mouth shut, the fact that it was done without prior notice or discussion meant that...

This sense of alienation is like a fine thorn stuck in my heart, impossible to pull out or dissipate.

"well……"

Qiao Jingjing gazed at the silent profiles of the two people before her, and instantly saw through the lingering melancholy between Lin Quan's brows.

Then, glancing again at the corner of Li Hanyi's sleeve, her fingertips unconsciously clenched as she lowered her eyes,

His lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and in the end, it all turned into a soft sigh.

She really didn't know which piece of advice to give—

The safety of Lin Quan is involved in much more than just the time-space mirror.

While this incident is understandable, it has quietly planted seeds of wariness in the hearts of several people.

A moment later, she suddenly raised her eyes, her lips slightly pursed, and her voice clear and steady: "Sister Hanyi, may I speak to you in private?"

"Um."

Li Hanyi nodded, saying nothing more, only responding softly.

The two turned and left, their skirts brushing against the bluestone steps, their figures quickly disappearing into the depths of the corridor.

Lin Quan watched them walk away, then his gaze shifted and landed on Wang Yuyan:

"Yu Yan, you and Jing Jing should keep a close eye on things. I'm going back to the main world first to explain things to Xue Ru and the others."

"it is good."

Wang Yuyan nodded, and before she could finish speaking, Lin Quan had already dashed out of the pavilion like a streak of light.

When I opened my eyes again, the green tiles and flying eaves of the courtyard house were right in front of me.

"My husband!"

"Brother Quan!"

Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing hurried out to greet them, their voices still tinged with lingering fear.

The two rushed forward almost simultaneously, their fingers quickly tracing his arms, shoulders, back, and forehead.

After repeatedly confirming that they were unharmed, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

But then they exchanged a glance, their expressions turning hesitant and unspeakable.

It felt as if a thousand words were stuck in my throat, but I didn't know where to begin.

Before they could speak, Lin Quan had already explained the whole story clearly.

Finally, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the two women, his gaze calm yet piercing:

"Just in case, you two shouldn't rush to cross over to another world. Stay in the main world and establish a foothold..."

"Even if we really have to go to that world of high martial arts, we have to take turns. Who goes, when they go, and how long they stay all have to be carefully planned."

This near-death experience served as a wake-up call for Lin Quan.

He had already made an ironclad rule in his heart: before stepping into the threshold of being able to dominate all realms, he must never let everyone crowd into the world again!

This time, Li Hanyi ran into Baili Dongjun, and once again kept her mouth shut, not revealing a single word about the Time Mirror.

But what if it were Li Changsheng—or some other top figure who has already traveled to the mystical realm and whose thoughts are connected to the heavens and earth?

Even if Lin Quan could use the Time Mirror to create an escape route and extricate himself without fear,

What about Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, and Zhu Zhuqing?

Those who wander in the realm of mystic arts might not be able to stop Lin Quan from escaping in an instant.

But in the blink of an eye, in the blink of an eye, in the rise and fall of a thought...

That would be enough to sever the spiritual veins, seal the soul light, and even drag a person into the depths of their consciousness for repeated torment!

Currently, it is still a high-level martial arts world, and the rules are still quite complex;

If you step into the realm of immortals and heroes, the laws are like blades, and cause and effect are like a net;

Further up, we face mythical beings—

The moment the thought crossed one's mind, the person was already ashes, not even having time to dissipate their afterimage!

How could Qiao Jingjing and the others withstand such crushing pressure?

This bloody lesson is right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to be vigilant!

"Hmm...My husband is absolutely right."

"Although it was an accident, it serves as a wake-up call."

After listening, Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.

In an instant, a heavy, somber look appeared between their brows, like two dark clouds pressing down on them.

"Sigh... In the end, it's because we're too weak."

"If one's cultivation is strong enough, one's qi is stable enough, and one's Daoist practice is deep enough—"

"No matter how many schemes or tricks he employs, before absolute power, he is nothing more than a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished with a single breath."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Quan added in a low voice, his tone slightly hoarse with a hint of self-reflection:

"That's right... all the concerns stem from the three words 'not strong enough'."

If someone truly possesses the power to subdue the world, why should we be wary? Why should we make choices? Why should we proceed cautiously at every step?

After sighing, he paused for a moment before slowly uttering, "You may remain in the main world for now, or go to the Martial Soul World to cultivate in seclusion."

Even if Baili Dongjun didn't make a move this time, Lin Quan wouldn't dare gamble on the next time—human hearts are unpredictable, and the world is even more dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xueru and Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Lin Quan gave a few more brief instructions, and then his figure faded away from the main world like ink drops into water.

When it reappeared, it was already standing under the eaves of the pavilion.

Qiao Jingjing, Wang Yuyan, and Li Hanyi were sitting in the pavilion, the tea smoke still rising, their voices still warm.

Swish—swish—swish—

Lin Quan suddenly appeared, and three pairs of eyes simultaneously raised, their gazes like lines, instantly enveloping him.

Before Qiao Jingjing could speak, Lin Quan said first:

"Xue Ru and Zhu Qing will not cross realms for the time being; they will remain in seclusion in the main world or the Martial Soul world."

Li Hanyi's throat moved slightly, and her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to explain, or perhaps she wanted to apologize.

But when the words reached his lips, it was as if something was blocking them, and in the end, not a single word came out.

Qiao Jingjing and Wang Yuyan exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

"This wasn't entirely Hanyi's fault, but it certainly hit us hard."
