Xin Ruyin, the person at the center of it all, was no less excited at the start!
After all, this concerned her chronic illness that had resisted all attempts at treatment. But after her expression shifted several times between hope and worry, she bit her red lip and said hesitantly: "Senior, whatever you need this junior's help with, please just say it! As long as it doesn't go against morality or my conscience, this girl will certainly agree!"
As Xin Ruyin spoke these words, her clear, bright eyes stared straight at Han Li, afraid that he might make some demand she could never accept.
Seeing how cautious this young woman was, Han Li couldn't help but smile knowingly.
It reminded him of when he had first set foot on the path of cultivation—the same careful wariness, the same fear of taking a single wrong step and losing his life.
"Daoist Xin, there's no need to be so tense. I simply want you to help me repair something related to formations. Once it's restored, I'll hand over the spirit herbs with both hands right away!" Han Li said calmly, without avoiding her gaze, looking perfectly magnanimous.
Xin Ruyin listened and was only half convinced.
But she still let out a relieved breath, and at the same time her beautiful face broke into a smile: "If it truly is just repairing something, then of course there's no problem! Ruyin will do absolutely everything she can to restore it—please rest assured on that count, Senior."
This woman's expression had been cool and reserved up until now, and this sudden radiant smile was so striking that even Han Li was momentarily dazzled, losing his composure for an instant—let alone Qi Yunxiao, who had been lovesick with her for years and had long since fallen back into helpless infatuation at that smile alone.
Xin Ruyin noticed the glint of something in Han Li's eyes, and a faint blush crept across her cheeks once more, adding yet another touch of alluring charm.
Only then did Han Li realize he had let his composure slip. He quickly collected himself and continued: "To tell you the truth, even though I know Daoist Xin must have deep knowledge of formations, I really have no certainty whether this thing can actually be repaired. And the original cannot be moved—it's quite far from here—so I copied it into a schematic. I hope you can pick up some clues from the diagram and restore the item!"
As he spoke, Han Li took a jade slip from his storage pouch and handed it over. The moment Xin Ruyin received it, she curiously probed it with her spiritual sense.
What she found inside the jade slip made her cry out in astonishment: "A ancient teleportation array?"
Hearing her shout, the last trace of worry in Han Li's heart vanished without a trace!
So it really was an ancient teleportation array. Now the question was whether this woman could repair it.
As Han Li thought this, he carefully watched Xin Ruyin's expression, afraid that she might show a look of difficulty.
And when Qi Yunxiao heard the words "ancient teleportation array," his face went blank with shock, his eyes full of disbelief.
