464: Chapter 464 Giving Gifts!
"Alright, then let me see what Junior Brother has given me."
Lu Youyou immediately opened the Storage Ring.
Her movements were quick, carrying a hint of impatience.
No matter what it was, she would be happy.
After all, this was the first gift Qin Yan had given her.
Even if it were just a stone, a Medicinal Pill, or even just a blessing, she would be very happy.
Then, when she looked at the item inside the Storage Ring, the smile on Lu Youyou's face instantly vanished.
It was replaced by a look of daze.
There weren't many things in the ring, only one.
It was a piece of pitch-black metal, about the size of an adult's fist, lying quietly in the ring's space.
The surface of the metal was covered in natural patterns, crisscrossing like the trajectories of stars or some ancient runes.
No energy fluctuations emanated from it, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of heaviness and antiquity.
She recognized the object at a glance; this was creation divine iron!
Lu Youyou felt her mind go blank.
She naturally knew what creation divine iron was; it was a divine material that even her grandfather dreamed of, a divine object of heaven and earth that could be sought but not easily found.
Just a few days ago, Junior Brother had brought it to her grandfather to forge a spirit weapon.
But now, a piece of creation divine iron had actually appeared before her?
"Junior Brother, you... you didn't give me the wrong thing, did you?"
Lu Youyou looked up at Qin Yan, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"No, Senior Sister."
"I already have a natal spirit weapon now, so having another piece of creation divine iron is of no use to me.
Keeping it would just be letting it sit there; it's better to give it to someone who needs it more."
His voice was calm and sincere.
"Senior Sister will definitely be able to step into the Fifth Rank in the future, and at that time, you will also need to forge a natal spirit weapon.
Consider this piece of creation divine iron a gift from this Junior Brother to Senior Sister. Senior Sister, you cannot refuse."
Qin Yan said seriously.
He knew Lu Youyou's personality; if he didn't speak firmly, she would definitely decline.
So he spoke directly and decisively—you cannot refuse.
Hearing this, Lu Youyou stared at Qin Yan with her large eyes wide open.
In those lively eyes, there was shock, touched emotion, complexity, and a hint of an indescribable feeling.
Looking at Qin Yan's serious expression and feeling his sincere intentions, she finally nodded slowly.
"Junior Brother, then I shall accept it."
Her voice was very soft, yet very firm.
She knew the weight of this creation divine iron and the preciousness of this gift.
But she also knew that if she refused, Junior Brother would be disappointed.
So, she accepted it.
Qin Yan nodded, a gratified smile appearing on his face.
"However, Senior Sister, there is one thing I would like to ask for your help with."
Qin Yan suddenly spoke.
"Junior Brother, go ahead. If I can help, I certainly will."
Lu Youyou said without any hesitation.
Junior Brother had just given her such a grand gift, and she was just worrying about how to repay him.
Now that Junior Brother had a request, she would naturally go all out.
Qin Yan nodded.
Immediately, he circulated the True Qi within his body and slowly raised his right hand.
In the center of his palm, a golden light slowly condensed, finally forming a small palm print.
The palm print was only the size of a baby's hand, entirely golden, and emitting a soft light.
Though the palm print was small, it contained a mysterious aura.
It was a power beyond Martial Skills, a direct comprehension of certain martial Dao rules.
"This is one-ten-thousandth of the Palm Dao Profundity. I'll have to trouble Senior Sister to keep it for me for a while.
When my younger sister Xiao Xi's strength reaches a certain level in the future and she can withstand the impact of the Profound Truth entering her body, then give it to her."
After Qin Yan finished speaking, he handed the Palm Dao Profundity to Lu Youyou.
The golden palm print floated quietly, emitting a warm light.
Lu Youyou looked at the Palm Dao Profundity before her, her large eyes blinking.
She never expected that Junior Brother would entrust the Profound Truth to her for safekeeping!
She knew very well how precious a Profound Truth was.
It was something countless Martial Artists dreamed of, an Opportunity that could be sought but not easily found.
Countless experts would pay any price just to obtain a sliver of a Profound Truth.
And yet, Junior Brother had so nonchalantly handed one-ten-thousandth of the Palm Dao Profundity to her for safekeeping?
What did this mean? It meant Junior Brother's absolute trust in her.
"Junior Brother, are you sure you want to entrust it to me for temporary safekeeping?"
Lu Youyou's voice trembled slightly as her large eyes stared intently at Qin Yan.
"Aren't you afraid I'll keep it for myself?"
When she said this, her tone carried a hint of seriousness and a bit of anticipation she hadn't even noticed herself.
Hearing this, Qin Yan chuckled. "I'm not afraid. I know Senior Sister's character very well."
"Since I came to Modu University of Martial Arts, Senior Sister has always taken care of me and helped me.
And now, to ensure I could successfully forge my spirit weapon, you even asked Senior Xiao to help.
I, Qin Yan, will remember this friendship in my heart.
I know what kind of person Senior Sister is better than anyone. You say you would swallow this Profound Truth? I don't believe it."
Hearing this, light flickered in Lu Youyou's lively eyes.
"Junior Brother, rest assured. When Xiao Xi's strength reaches a certain level in the future, I will give the Profound Truth to her."
She said seriously, her voice full of solemnity.
This was her promise, and she would definitely keep it.
Although she was only keeping it temporarily, during the period of safekeeping, she could also use the Profound Truth to train her Palm Technique.
After all, the Profound Truth was in her hands; as long as she wanted, she could contemplate it at any time.
To her, this was also an enormous Opportunity!
Moreover, the fact that Junior Brother could give her the Profound Truth showed that her position in Qin Yan's heart was very high!
This trust moved her even more than the Profound Truth itself.
Thinking of this, an uncontrollable emotion welled up in Lu Youyou's heart.
She couldn't help but step forward and gently hug Qin Yan.
As a soft fragrance entered his embrace, Qin Yan couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
The faint scent of a young girl's body lingered at the tip of his nose, and the soft touch made his entire body stiffen.
He hadn't expected Senior Sister to suddenly hug him, and for a moment, he was at a loss.
"Junior Brother, may your path in the martial Dao be long and glorious."
Lu Youyou's voice came from his embrace, soft and sincere, carrying deep blessings.
Immediately after, Lu Youyou left his embrace.
She took a step back and stood still again, a bright smile on her face as if that hug just now was nothing more than an ordinary farewell.
Qin Yan hadn't quite recovered and stared blankly at Senior Sister, only reacting after a few seconds.
"Alright, Senior Sister."
His voice was somewhat unnatural, and the tips of his ears were slightly hot.
In his nineteen years of life, besides his mother and younger sister, this was the first time he had been hugged like this by a girl.
Lu Youyou nodded gently.
However, her fair ears unconsciously turned red.
The redness started from the earlobes and spread bit by bit, gradually staining the entire ear red, then following down the base of the ear to quietly crawl onto her cheeks.
Under the glow of the furnace fire, that flush was exceptionally obvious.
Qin Yan noticed it.
