Ling Qingzhu Wants to Go to the Great Yan Dynasty

Ling Qingzhu saw that her reaction was rather strong.

Her pearly teeth bit down hard on her red lip.

After hesitating for a moment, she repeated, "Teacher, it's just... the deacon I asked to go find Junior Brother Chen, Ma Fengbin, may have been killed."

Ma Fengbin?

Qin Xiuqing still remembered this person.

He was no longer young, and his aptitude was only average.

If he wanted to raise his strength another step, it would be very difficult.

Unless he had an extremely good opportunity!

But he was still a Five Yuan Nirvana Realm expert. Who could kill him?

Before Ling Qingzhu went to the Great Yan Dynasty, she had deliberately investigated it. The Great Yan Dynasty was merely a low-grade dynasty.

Its strongest expert was only at the One Yuan Nirvana Realm.

For someone there to kill Ma Fengbin was simply impossible.

Unless...

The killer was Chen Xuan, who had gone there for revenge!

That was exactly what Qin Xiuqing was thinking.

Then, all of a sudden, Ling Qingzhu's voice sounded beside her ear.

"Master, Qingzhu believes this person may not necessarily have been killed by Junior Brother Chen. It could also have been someone framing him. After all, over these past few years, he has offended quite a few people."

Those words sounded a little as though she were deliberately guiding her.

If you said she was speaking up for Chen Xuan, it did not quite seem like it.

But if you said she was not, it also seemed like she was.

It was very strange.

Qin Xiuqing said thoughtfully, "I understand."

Ling Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly suggested, "Master, this disciple wishes to make a trip to the Great Yan Dynasty herself. I ask Master to permit it."

She lowered her head.

She did not dare raise it to look at Qin Xiuqing's face.

Her fingers kept fiddling with the hem of her dress.

Qin Xiuqing could not be bothered to guess and asked directly, "Why are you going to the Great Yan Dynasty?"

"Master, Junior Brother Chen is Qingzhu's husband after all. Whether by sentiment or reason, Qingzhu should personally make the trip." Ling Qingzhu kept her head lowered the entire time.

She had thought that after saying it to this extent, Qin Xiuqing would not refuse.

But the reality was that she refused very decisively. "In such a critical period, you cannot go! I will not allow you to go either."

She thought that if Chen Xuan really had killed him, then that proved he bore resentment toward Ling Qingzhu, toward Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, and even toward her, his master.

It would be useless no matter who went!

Moreover, if it was handled improperly, Chen Xuan might even kill Ling Qingzhu as well!

They had just lost a cultivation genius disciple, and now if they lost another disciple who might perhaps be able to comprehend Tai Shang, then Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace would truly suffer a huge loss!

Was it not just the death of a Five Yuan Nirvana Realm deacon?

They could just treat it as letting him vent his anger.

Moreover, perhaps when the other party saw that Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace had the strength to settle accounts with him but did not send anyone else, it might even make him turn back from the wrong path.

Put that way, not only would it not be a loss, it would even be a great gain!

That was exactly what Qin Xiuqing was thinking.

Yet Ling Qingzhu persisted, "Master, this matter arose because of this disciple. This disciple feels that I should be the one to step forward and resolve it."

"There is no use in you going. You should stay in Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace and cultivate properly."

Qin Xiuqing still refused.

"But..."

Ling Qingzhu still wanted to say something.

Qin Xiuqing waved a hand and cut her off. "Qingzhu, wasn't it just one deacon who died? It's hardly anything serious."

Of course, if it had been anyone else...

She would have sent people to kill their way to their door long ago.

This was a classic case of treating people differently based on who they were.

"All right." Seeing Qin Xiuqing's indifferent yet firm attitude, Ling Qingzhu could not say anything more.

She could only give up.

Just as she was about to leave...

Qin Xiuqing suddenly called out to stop her.

"Oh, right, Qingzhu. That day, did you really kill the person who ruined your purity on the spot?"

"Ah? Er, yes. I killed him with my own hands."

Ling Qingzhu froze for a moment, then hurriedly nodded.

Although she did her utmost to hide her expression...

Qin Xiuqing still noticed a few clues.

However, toward this final personal disciple in whom she had placed such great hopes...

She was very tolerant.

She waved a hand at Ling Qingzhu. "Fine. Go back and cultivate properly. Don't let down all my painstaking effort!"

Ling Qingzhu nodded with an unnatural expression. "This disciple will go back and enter seclusion."

"You really don't make things easy for me."

Watching Ling Qingzhu's back as she departed...

Qin Xiuqing let out a long sigh.

After pondering for a moment, her figure vanished from where she stood in an eerie fashion.

In a certain deep mountain of the Eastern Xuan Region...

Few people ever came here.

But inside a hidden cave...

Two figures stood facing each other from a distance.

Because the light was too dim, their faces could not be seen clearly.

One of them frowned and asked, "Are you sure she didn't notice anything?"

"Don't worry. I have the supreme treasure Boss gave me on me. With her cultivation, she won't be able to see anything wrong for the time being."

The one speaking was a woman.

Perhaps she was afraid of being recognized.

At this moment, her entire body was shrouded in a huge black robe.

In the already dim cave...

This made it even harder for anyone to recognize her true face.

The male voice nodded in agreement.

Then he still reminded her, "That's true, but caution keeps the ship sailing for ten thousand years. There's never any harm in being careful."

"I know. I don't need you to teach me."

The woman in the black robe said impatiently.

The male voice gave a dry laugh and changed the subject. "Heh, have there been any major events in the past two years?"

"I successfully planted an extremely hidden strand of Demonic Qi inside someone's body. However..."

The woman in the black robe hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping herself.

The male voice was curious. "However what?"

The woman in the black robe pondered for a moment.

Only then did she say in a grave tone, "However, I vaguely discovered that he seems to have many secrets on him. Even I can't see through them."

"Is there any aura of an Ancestral Talisman?"

"I don't think so."

The woman in the black robe thought for a moment, then slowly shook her head.

She had dealt with Ancestral Talismans before too.

Absolutely not that kind!

The male voice questioned her. "It either exists or it doesn't. What do you mean, 'seems like'?"

The woman in black robes said coldly, "It doesn't."

The male voice let out a breath of relief.

As long as it was not that Ancestral Talisman they hated so much.

Then there was nothing to fear.

However, just to be safe.

He still suggested, "How about this? Find an opportunity and have someone secretly go over there to get rid of him. We can't let anything go wrong!"

"Fine."

The woman in black robes nodded and prepared to leave.

She had only taken a few steps.

Then she seemed to remember something.

She stopped, turned around, and asked, "By the way, how much longer is my mission? I feel like I'm about to be unable to hold on."

Her words were tinged with a trace of resentment.

The male voice comforted her. "Don't rush. The boss said ten years at most! Then we can start the plan!"

What? Another ten years!

That was far too agonizing!

The woman in black robes complained, "Ten years? That's way too torturous!"

The male voice sounded helpless. "The boss knows it hasn't been easy for you, but there's no choice. Only you can complete this difficult mission."

The woman in black robes said, "..."

The male voice said, "Remember, you're an important part of our clan's rise. There can't be any mistakes! Also, don't get too deep into the role!"

The woman in black robes said, "I know."

The male voice said, "Good. Hurry up and leave. If you stay too long, be careful someone doesn't discover you."

The woman in black robes said, "From now on, unless it's necessary, don't contact me!"

"Fine!"

The male voice nodded.

The woman in black robes flashed and vanished into the dim cave.
