Volume 2 Chapter 37 / Chapter 124: Li Qianjin, Trials
What does it mean?
Li Qianjin couldn't see Ye Anping's current expression. She didn't know if he was smiling or serious when talking to her, nor could she discern whether his words were true or false.
The girl named Pei who just spoke claimed that Wu Yue was a demonic cultivator.
However, Wu Yue also had tokens given by her father.
Could it be that his implication was that the appearance of demonic cultivators in the Chi Dragon Mansion was all instigated by her father?
Was her father the one backing the demonic cultivators?
Was her father the spy colluding with the demonic cultivators that she had been trying to find these days?!
How could that be?!!
She didn't believe it.
—It must be that the person in front of her wanted to drive a wedge between her and her father!
—Yes!! It must be like this!!
Li Qianjin bit her lip tightly, immediately wanting to refute Ye Anping's words, but she couldn't think of any evidence to prove her father's innocence.
If Wu Yue was indeed a demonic cultivator, then her father would definitely be implicated.
However—
"…"
Li Qianjin clenched her hand on the grass, involuntarily sinking it into the mud.
Ye Anping knew it would be difficult for her to accept such a fact, and in the plot of the game, she was never informed of what Li Feng did in the Chi Dragon Mansion incident.
The cause and process of the Chi Dragon Mansion incident were all concealed by Sima Xuanji.
The news that spread to the various sects in the Western Regions was that "Li Feng fought against five demonic cultivators alone, unfortunately fell into a trap and died," which was also the "truth" that Li Qianjin learned in the game.
With this well-intentioned lie, Sima Xuanji successfully saved the Chi Dragon Mansion, allowing Li Qianjin to take over the family business left by her father. However, at the same time, she planted a bomb in her heart.
This bomb would explode when Li Qianjin reached Nascent Soul stage a hundred years later, becoming Li Qianjin's heart demon calamity, indirectly causing her to perish under the thunderous bombardment of the marriage thunder calamity.
Even in her dying moments, Li Qianjin stubbornly believed in this lie.
However, that was the game.
Undoubtedly, the storyline of this world had once again been altered.
Ye Anping didn't know what kind of result his actions would lead to.
He just vaguely felt that telling Li Qianjin the truth was the right thing to do.
The truth might make her feel confused for a while, but being confused now was better than being confused at a critical moment.
"Phew—"
Ye Anping sighed softly, not planning to say anything more to her, and turned to continue cleaning out Wu Yue's storage bag under the collapsed pavilion.
After sorting out the contents of Wu Yue's storage bag, Ye Anping burned everything that needed to be burned. He only took spiritual stones, some pills, and artifacts that he could sell. Then, he separated thirty thousand spiritual stones and walked back to throw them next to Feng Yudie.
"Young Mistress Li, we won't stay here for long. When Senior Sister Feng wakes up, I'll have her take you back to the Chi Dragon Mansion."
"…."
Saying this, Ye Anping waited for two breaths. Seeing that Li Qianjin did not respond to his suggestion at all, he stopped waiting and summoned his flying sword, ascending into the sky with Pei Lengxue, heading towards the direction of Du Chun City.
After flying into the sky, Pei Lengxue turned her head to look at Li Qianjin sitting on the ground, and leaned close to "husband," asking softly, "Husband, can't she see with her eyes?"
"Hmm?" Ye Anping was slightly surprised. It was rare for his junior sister to take the initiative to ask about others. He answered, "Hmm, she has been blind since birth due to the Extreme Blaze Spiritual Qi around the Chi Dragon Mansion."
"Is there no way to cure it?"
"There is a way, but..." Ye Anping glanced back and asked, "Why? Do you want to help her recover?"
"... She looks quite pitiful."
"Hmm..."
Ye Anping pondered for a moment with his chin in his hand.
There must be elixirs among the immortal treasures that could cure her blindness, but the rarity of those things was such that not even Li Feng could obtain them, so he couldn't get them now either.
However, he did have a ready-made solution, though he didn't know if it would work.
For example, the "Eye-Shifting Talisman" he used to monitor the Chi Dragon Mansion.
That talisman could originally allow people to share their vision.
Of course, Ye Anping could guess that ordinary Eye-Shifting Talismans would definitely not work, otherwise Li Feng would have given it to her a long time ago.
But what if he used his therapy technique to directly inscribe the Eye-Shifting Talisman's inscription onto Li Qianjin's meridians, turning her into a living Eye-Shifting Talisman?
If it really worked, he could also get a pretty good reward from Li Qianjin.
But that would have to be considered later. There were more pressing matters at hand.
After Li Qianjin returned, Li Feng probably wouldn't be able to sit still.
Perhaps he would forcibly activate the formation with the remaining three demonic cultivators in the next two days.
"Ah, if Young Mistress Li could persuade him to stop, that would be great."
"Hmm? What?"
"Nothing much, there might be a fierce battle to be fought."
Pei Lengxue nodded in partial understanding, "Oh..."
————
After Ye Anping and Pei Lengxue left, the woods instantly became quiet. The only sounds were the chirping of cicadas and the rustling of leaves in the wind. The scent of grass and trees filled the air, refreshing and pleasant.
In this environment, Li Qianjin quickly calmed her mood. She had been denying what Ye Anping told her in her mind, but now she finally understood that it didn't matter whether Ye Anping's words were true or false. What she needed to do now was to hurry back to the Chi Dragon Mansion, find her father, and clarify the matter face to face.
Even if it was true, like the implication in Ye Anping's words...
"Even if..."
Thinking of this, Li Qianjin couldn't help but hug her knees tightly, feeling a sourness in her nose inexplicably. It felt as if there was a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow up or spit out.
In her desire to vent, Li Qianjin swung her fist forcefully towards the grass beside her, but somehow, it hit something soft and squishy.
"Ah—" Li Qianjin was startled.
"Ugh—"
Feng Yudie, who was punched in the stomach, was instantly awakened from her sleep. She looked at Li Qianjin with a bewildered expression.
Feng Yudie felt a headache and took quite a while to recover. Looking around, she only saw Li Qianjin alone, so she couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Junior Sister Li, where are they?"
"…." Li Qianjin was taken aback for a moment, and replied softly, "They left first."
"Oh? They left?" Feng Yudie rubbed her head. She had wanted to chat with her Junior Sister Pei, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, but now...
Recalling what had just happened, she looked around and found a bag of spiritual stones beside her. She picked it up and saw thirty thousand spiritual stones inside, instantly feeling relieved.
Feng Yudie stood up, dusted off her skirt, and put the bag of spiritual stones back into her storage bag.
"Junior Sister Li, did my junior brother tell you just now about Master Li—"
Li Qianjin quickly interrupted, "He did."
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"I..." Li Qianjin hesitated for a moment, biting her lip lightly. "I'll go persuade my father."
Feng Yudie pondered for a moment, dragging her chin, nodded, grinned, and patted Li Qianjin's shoulder, "Junior Sister Li, we'll always stand by your side."
"Yeah..."
