Volume 2 Chapter 39 / Chapter 126: Li Qianjin, Killing One Own Father
"Master Li, take care~~"
Feng Yudie waved goodbye to Li Feng with a smile until she couldn't hear his footsteps anymore. Only then did she put down her raised hand and sighed heavily, covering her chest with her hand.
"Phew—"
In the instant Li Feng appeared behind her, her heart was almost in her throat, thinking that Li Feng was going to bury her on the spot. Fortunately, her cultivation level was still low, and it seemed that Li Feng didn't take her seriously.
Feng Yudie was self-aware.
Facing an opponent who was a realm higher than her, she wasn't afraid. But Li Feng was not only two realms higher than her, but he had also previously fought against demonic cultivators alongside Moon Dan Master in battles across the Southern, Northern, and Eastern Region.
True Immortal Tai Xu had taught her that cultivators like Li Feng, with poor aptitude but high cultivation, mostly crawled out of blood and fire. In terms of means and fighting experience, they far surpassed other cultivators of the same realm.
She had no confidence in being able to defeat Li Feng, especially now that it seemed Li Feng was ready to take action, and she, along with Ye Anping and three demonic cultivators, had not been dealt with yet...
Feng Yudie looked in the direction Li Feng had left, unconsciously biting her thumb in anxiety, pondering desperately how to solve the current problem. But no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't think of any solution other than running away.
"Tsk—"
It seemed that Xiaotian sensed Feng Yudie's agitation and flew out from her brow on its own, floating in front of her with its hands on its hips.
『Yudie, have a little confidence in that Ye Lad. Although we don't know where he got the information from, he knew what Li Feng was up to a long time ago. He must be fully prepared』
Feng Yudie didn't deny it, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly seemed to give up as if in despair, stomping her foot.
"Ah! Forget it, I'm so annoyed! I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll leave the brainy stuff to him, and I'll just focus on slashing."
With that, Feng Yudie turned and ran towards the direction Li Feng had come from, ready to rescue Li Qianjin and then leave Chi Dragon Mansion with her and Xiao Yunluo to find Ye Anping.
Xiaotian floated beside her, inexplicably relieved.
Its cute Yudie hadn't noticed it herself, but she was gradually becoming dependent on Ye Anping.
For Yudie to depend on a man, this was something Xiaotian wouldn't have dared to think about before. And at this rate, perhaps before long, its Yudie would realize that having a man by her side was actually quite nice.
『When will they finally get together? It's driving me crazy』
?
Feng Yudie glanced at it, "What?"
『Nothing』
"Oh."
Feng Yudie shook her head in confusion, not caring. After running in the corridor for a while, she finally arrived at the gate of the rear hall of Chi Dragon Mansion and immediately pushed open the door, rushing in.
"Junior Sister Li!! I'm here to rescue you!"
Li Qianjin was sitting on the ground, hugging her knees, with a Chi Dragon Mansion maid speaking to her. She slowly raised her head when she heard the sound of the door being kicked open.
"Senior Sister Feng?"
Li Qianjin's maid immediately stood up and frowned, rebuking, "Senior Feng, this is the forbidden area of Chi Dragon Mansion. Although you are a distinguished guest, please—"
"Ling'er, it's okay!!"
"Ah— But Miss, the Mountain Lord said—"
"I said, it's okay."
Li Qianjin furrowed her brows seriously, interrupting sternly, and then stood up from the ground.
Feng Yudie glanced at the maid beside her, didn't think much about it, and rushed over to prepare to lift Li Qianjin. However, as soon as she ran to Li Qianjin, she heard a "bang" sound, and she bumped into a spiritual barrier.
"Ouch!!"
Li Qianjin guessed what had happened when she heard the sound and reminded, "Senior Senior Feng, My father set up a barrier around me."
"Why didn't you say so earlier, Junior Sister Li?"
Feng Yudie stood up again, rubbed her forehead, and found a small bump there, instantly feeling awkward. After pondering for a moment, she took out her spiritual sword and said to the maid nearby, "You stand back, Junior Sister Li, you crouch down and cover your head, I'll help you break the barrier."
"Huh?! No— this barrier is—"
Li Qianjin was about to remind her, but then she heard the "swish swish" sound of the sword cutting through the air, and immediately crouched down, covering her head.
Boom—
After a loud noise, there was Feng Yudie's gradually fading scream.
"Ah—!!"
Just as the spiritual sword struck the spiritual barrier, a golden light shot out from the barrier and hit her abdomen, sending her flying out of the rear hall's gate.
Falling into the flower field outside the rear hall's gate, Feng Yudie grimaced, spat out saliva, quickly got up, and ran back into the rear hall.
"Senior Sister Feng, are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
Xiaotian flew up from her shoulder at this time, circled around Li Qianjin, and said, 『Yudie, you can't break it. This barrier is formidable. It's probably set up by Li Feng using his true essence. But don't worry, Little Li is very safe inside. This barrier should have a protective effect, probably set up by Li Feng to protect her』
"Junior Sister Li—"
Before Feng Yudie could speak, Li Qianjin immediately interrupted, "Ling'er, can you leave us alone for a moment? I have something to discuss with Senior Feng alone."
The maid next to her didn't know what had happened, but it seemed that something big had occurred. Without saying much, she agreed and exited the rear hall, closing the door behind her.
After hearing the door close, Li Qianjin confirmed, "Senior Sister Feng, is Ling'er gone?"
"—Ah, yes."
"Sorry, I couldn't persuade my father. He's already obsessed."
"It's not your fault."
Li Qianjin nodded, pursing her lips. After taking a deep breath, she asked, "Senior Sister Feng, does your junior brother have a way to stop my father?"
"He does."
"That's good." Li Qianjin clenched her fists and covered her chest. "Underneath the bed in my chamber, there's a hidden compartment. Inside, there's a jade pendant. It's my token. Senior Feng, please take it later. It's probably the only thing I can do to help you."
"A jade pendant?"
"Yes, with the pendant, find the commander of Chi Dragon Mansion. Showing him the pendant is as good as seeing me. They will follow your instructions."
Feng Yudie noted it down, nodding. Then she clasped her hands in a gesture of respect. "Then, Qianjin, after everything is settled, I'll come to get you out. Stay here for now."
"Okay."
Li Qianjin nodded, then listened as Feng Yudie's footsteps gradually faded away. When she couldn't hear them anymore, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Her father had just told her that he had less than a month left to live.
If Feng Yudie and the others could really stop her father, there was no doubt that she would soon receive news of her father's death.
She knew that by helping Feng Yudie and the others now, she was essentially becoming an accomplice to her father's death.
Perhaps it would be better not to get involved at all.
Her father could have broken through the bottleneck through blood sacrifice, extending his lifespan. He could still be with her in the future.
But...
"Father, I'm sorry."
At this moment, the door to the rear hall opened once again.
The maid who had just left and returned after seeing Feng Yudie run away asked, "Miss, what exactly happened?"
"Nothing, Ling'er." Li Qianjin sniffed and smiled faintly. "Could you go to my father's study and bring back some books from the shelf? I'd like to hear you read them to me."
"Hmm? Which book would you like to hear, Miss? What's its title?"
"Bring several books, as many as you can. Any book from the shelf will do. When I was little, my father often read those books to me."
"Alright..."
