793 Last Nights Evening Breeze, Tonights Starry River (2)
By the time Xu Qing walked out of the Yao residence, it was already dusk. Lingers voice rang out in Xu Qings ears.
Brother Xu Qing, you have to be careful of those two female cultivators!
The way they look at you isnt right, especially the one who poured you tea. I think her issue is even greater. Brother Xu Qing, you have to be careful. I think they might want to harm you.
Lingers expression was serious.
When Xu Qing heard this, his heart froze. He recalled carefully and thought of the matter with Zhang Siyun. He felt that Yao Yunhui might still have some thoughts, so he nodded.
As for Yao Feihe, Xu Qing couldnt understand but he also paid attention to this matter.
Seeing that Xu Qing acknowledged her, Linger was very happy. She felt that she was very useful and could help Brother Xu Qing sense many external dangers. Hence, she flew out of Xu Qings sleeve and whispered into his ear.
Brother Xu Qing, Im actually quite useful. After I transform, Ill even do household chores.
Oh, and I can sing too! Ive learned a few songs from the Wood Spirit Races sisters. Im really smart!
Can I sing a song for you?
Lingers voice was filled with happiness. Xu Qing smiled upon hearing this and nodded.
Linger softly hummed, her voice like a drizzling rain, echoing in Xu Qings ears. Like a clear spring, it flowed into his heart.
The moonlight is faintly warm, flowing over the green vine fence from yesterday. The rain lines are not dry yet, breaking and then continuing, turning longing into a light...
Not speaking of eternal companionship in the next life, just saying that meeting again is fate.
No regrets in this lifetime. May the flowers bloom as a promise to stay by your side. In the next life, a glance back, a slight smile, even if thousands of years have passed...
Lingers tender voice flowed in Xu Qings heart.
Under the setting sun, he walked through the streets of the capital city, concealing his aura and blurring his traces. He passed through the crowds, the clamor, and entered into tranquility.
The evening breeze swirled around him, as if it had heard the song, lifting his dark hair to sway with the melody.
The rosy glow of twilight also arrived, casting its glow on the small white snake. In its faint shimmer, the silhouette of a young girl could be vaguely seen, blushing and softly singing.
In the distance, in the Deputy Governors residence, Old Master Seventh stood in a building and looked at the streets.
He looked at Xu Qing with a smile.
Marquis Yaos figure walked out of the void and stood beside him.
Its good to be young. Old Master Seventh sighed with emotion.
Marquis Yao also cast his gaze on Xu Qing in the distance and smiled.
Thats right. Its good to be young.
So, my disciple saved your entire family and helped you clear your name. You better make sure to protect him well.
Old Master Seventh looked at Marquis Yao.
If he hadnt stepped out, no one would have a chance to object at that time.
You still dont believe me. Marquis Yao sighed softly.
Ive been pondering a question these days. On that day... if I hadnt shouted those words, would you have appeared? Old Master Sevenths gaze was deep as he stared at Marquis Yao.
Marquis Yao looked at Xu Qing in the distance and pondered seriously. His mind recalled the scene half a month ago. After a long time, he spoke softly.
I believe I would still have stepped forward.
Old Master Seventh didnt speak. His gaze landed on the setting sun in the sky. After a long time, he calmly spoke.
How was your conversation with my disciple?
He gave me a name. Ill get someone to contact him as a check and balance against the Seventh Prince. Marquis Yaos calm voice rang out.
He hasnt returned the three provinces of our Fenghai County. Fenghai County lacks intimidating power.
At this point, Marquis Yao looked at Old Master Seventh.
How are the puppets transformed from Brother Hengxin and Brother Rongyus corpses?
Old Master Seventh shook his head.
Thats a new generation of god specimens. Its a little difficult to activate them, but Ive already thought of a way. Ill make a trip back to the Seven Blood Eyes in the near future to retrieve the research I left there.
In addition, we have to migrate the Seven Blood Eyes to the county capital.
Marquis Yao nodded. The migration of the Seven Blood Eyes was a matter of course. He didnt ask further and turned to leave.
After Marquis Yao left, Old Master Seventh lowered his head and looked at his palm.
In his palm, there was a rune formed by divine essence.
This was a trinket he had studied previously. It only had one use and that was to test for lies.
The principle was that the god was omniscient and omnipotent. Although it was only relative, with the help of this attribute, one could still determine if something was the truth or a lie to a certain extent.
Under Old Master Sevenths gaze, the runes on his palm flickered.
A long time later, Old Master Seventh nodded.
He said it sincerely but he cant be trusted completely. After all, the human heart will change.
Since this Fenghai County belongs to Fourth, then... it must be his.
A sharp glint appeared in Old Master Sevenths eyes. After some thought, he took out a jade slip and transmitted his voice to Xu Qing.
Fourth, Im going to make a trip to the Seven Blood Eyes in three days. Its been a long time since you went back. Come with me this time.
Old Master Seventh said with anticipation.
To not return to ones hometown when wealthy is like walking through the night in embroidered clothes...
In the Sword Holding Palace, Xu Qing, who had just returned, was immersed in Lingers singing. After a long time, he noticed the vibration of the voice transmission jade slip and heard his masters words.
Linger, do you want to return to the Seven Blood Eyes? Xu Qing looked at Linger.
Okay, Im even from the Seven Blood Eyes Intelligence Department, the small white snake replied happily.
Seeing Lingers excited expression, many familiar figures in the Seven Blood Eyes appeared in Xu Qings mind. He also wanted to make a trip back to the Seven Blood Eyes to visit Lord Sixths grave.
There was also Captain Lei and Grandmaster Bai. It had been a long time since he went to pay his respects.
Since he had chosen to head out, there was something Xu Qing planned to do.
Hence, he took the jade slip and transmitted his voice to his master.
