Chapter 52: The Trio Who Once Went Out of The Mountain Together

Seeing Qin Yi remain silence, Liu Su smiled, “This incident is indeed very interesting. Cultivators at the level of Ming He can comprehend, but it is harder for you who is in the situation. Don’t make it too difficult for yourself. If he insists on cultivating, just teach him. South Li Kingdom is just a post on your journey, don’t be obsessed with it.”

Qin Yi sighed, “Is there really nothing you can do about this curse?”

“If it was when I was in my prime, maybe I have a way, but don’t count on me now.” Liu Su said, “But you all are confused that you have forgotten the most important point. Ming He as a bystander has an even clearer mind than you. She is also a bit interesting. She said that you are not like a cultivator, but in fact, she has complicated feelings too. She is already trying to help you.”

Qin Yi was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that Ming He was still in the dungeon all this time.

He suddenly realized, “Right, there must be records of voodoo arts in Dong Huazi’s own cultivation place!”

Qin Yi ran back and saw a small door open next to the place where Dong Huazi died. Going in, Ming He, with her hands on the back, frowned as she looked at several bookshelves.

Qin Yi asked with some anticipation, “Any new discovery?”

“It’s all the records of various taoism scriptures, spells, and arrays.” Ming He said, “Many of them are of different systems. If training altogether at once, it can kill people… Dong Huazi were just plundering the knowledge without the way to practice them.”

Qin Yi didn’t bother whether Dong Huazi could practice to death, “That is to say, there is no voodoo art?”

“Yes, but there is no solution.” Ming He handed over a roll of blueprints and said, “I think you should take a look. Maybe you know something.”

Qin Yi took it over and unfolded it. There were some codes with pictures, which seemed to be the curse.

The quality of the paper was not old. It was only a few years old at most, probably Dong Huazi copied the drawing himself. But Qin Yi knew why Ming He thought he should take a look, because the line and pattern, graphic style, and some small words on the side gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.

A bit like Liu Su’s style.

He took the blueprint and walked a little outside the door, pretending to see it clearer with the light, but he actually kept a distance from Ming He to wait for Liu Su to speak.

“This is indeed my style at that time. It should be considered ancient voodoo art by now. I wonder where Dong Huazi came from.” Liu Su said as expected, “But there is only curse without the way to cancel it. It is also impossible to deduce the cancel in reverse.”

“Can someone who understands voodoo art deduce it in reverse?”

“Probably not. Those who can do it probably have great might. Where do you find them?” Liu Su said, “But this should be just an incomplete page. There must be a whole system. If you can find it, there must be a solution.”

Qin Yi then turned around and told Ming He about this. Ming He pondered for a moment, then she sighed, “Maybe I should send a letter to my sect. Maybe someone have a way.”

With some hesitation, she took out a paper crane, put the drawing on it, and raised her hand. The paper crane immediately turned into light and disappeared. After finishing all this, she shook her head and said, “Tao Friend Qin, don’t expect too much. If my sect has no solution… or is unwilling to dispel it, then I’m completely helpless in this matter.”

Qin Yi bowed, “That is enough. Thank you very much.”

Ming He stared at him with beautiful eyes, and she suddenly smiled, “It was you who let me watch the show, and now you want me to help, but how can you look so righteous?”

“Ugh…” Qin Yi didn’t know how to answer for a moment.

What’s so strange about this? People switch freely between various standards according to their own emotional tendencies. You haven’t had arguments with people in forums or Tweeter, otherwise you won’t be so confused. My tao friend, you still have more to learn in the mortal world.

Ming He said, “It will take time to wait for the reply from my sect. Can you let me comprehend your sword array now?”

Qin Yi made a gesture of invitation, “Fairy can stay as long as you want.”

The ability to switch between tao friend and fairy made Ming He even more aggrieved. She always felt that the word “Fairy” was respected by others, but it was a bit indescribably teasing when said by Qin Yi.

Back at the crown prince mansion, Ye Ling sitting on the steps with her knees hugged. When she looked up and saw Ming He behind Qin Yi, her head quickly dropped into her knees, and her wings skillfully turned up, covering her head tightly.

She kept thinking in her mind: Why is this bane here? Qin Yi hurriedly fools her away…

Only Qin Yi said, “Ming He will be temporarily staying here recently.”

“Plop“, Ye Ling rolled down the steps in a ball shape.

Qin Yi grabbed her and asked, “Where’s Qingjun?”

Ye Ling held her head, looked at Ming He carefully, and replied, “She, she is with her sister-in-law in the inner courtyard. The concubine seems to be shocked by the 2 beastkins just now.”

Qin Yi knocked his head. Li Qingjun once said that her brother has many concubines, but I don’t even see the concubine once. I don’t even know whether Li Qinglin has children, let alone other concubines.

Ordinarily, at the age of 20, Li Qinglin should have children, but I have never heard of it. That guy really never manages the affair in his own family, and he never talks about these “boring” things with others.

Qin Yi didn’t know how to evaluate this… According to his performance, he should be considered quite cold-hearted, but if compared with the modern relatives gathering, 8 out of 10 sentences are urging marriage and talking about children, Li Qinglin seems to make me more comfortable?

Having said that, if he has a child, as long as Li Qinglin can survive a few more years and when the child grows up, the child can still inherit his ambition. The kingdom can still move toward the track he wants.

When he saw Ye Ling still hiding behind him and peeking at Ming He like a coward, Qin Yi took her out again in amusement, “Ming He won’t hit you anymore. Relax.”

“Re-really?”

Ming He suddenly said, “That’s not necessarily the case.”

Ye Ling jumped up and ran away. Her legs were as fast as wheels.

Qin Yi was speechless, “Why are you scaring a child?”

“If you really think she is just a cute child, then you are the child.” Ming He said faintly, “Besides, many twelve-year-old girls are already pregnant in the backyard of many dignitaries. Is she still a child?”

“Hiss! You…”

Ming He just left him with this sentence and went directly into the backyard to comprehend the sword array.

Qin Yi wanted to follow, but when he turned his head, he saw Li Qingjun coming back dejectedly. He rushed over, “What’s wrong?”

“Is… something wrong… with Brother?” Li Qingjun looked up at him, “He just returned home, and his voice sounded like he was decades old. When my sister-in-law asked, he lost his temper.”

Qin Yi tentatively asked, “Just now when the beastkins attacked, did the child get frightened?”

“No.” Li Qingjun said, “The baby girl in the swaddle still doesn’t know anything.”

“Baby… girl?” Qin Yi was stunned.

Li Qingjun said, “Something must have happened. Don’t hide it from me anymore. My dearest brother, a man I like the most, keeps everything from me. Am I really not worth the trust!”

Toward the end of the sentence, her voice became louder. She finally lost her temper.

Qin Yi hugged her lightly and comforted her in a low voice, “I’m sorry. About what happened before… I just don’t want you brother and sister to grow suspicious of each other.”

“Then what now?” Li Qingjun broke away from him and said angrily, “What’s going on now?”

Qin Yi was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, “If, I said, if Brother Qinglin doesn’t become emperor, what will happen to you?”

Li Qingjun’s heart skipped a beat. She looked into Qin Yi’s eyes seriously.

After a while, she said slowly, “You mean brother will die?”

Without waiting for Qin Yi to answer, she continued, “If my brother dies, I will be the emperor. I will give the throne to her when the child grows up.”

Liu Su let out a long sigh.

The trio people who left Immortal Track Village together…

The one who once refused to cultivate have now cultivated to be an immortal.

The one who did not believe in immortal now wants to cultivate to be an immortal.

The one who wanted to roam the world to search for immortals may probably be stuck in the capital forever.

Ming He in the backyard stood by the edge of the sword array, but her eyes were also looking through the corridor to see Qin Yi and Li Qingjun standing opposite each other outside, a little lost in thought.
