Lingsuâs mouth curved up, feeling that this method was more reliable. Or rather, deep down, she just wanted to make this choice.
An idea was growing madly within her â she could choose not to kill Qin Changqing, hide her edge, sharpen her sword for ten years, and wait for the day to step onto the Endless Immortal Path!
If she didnât kill Qin Changqing, she could continue cultivating with him, becoming his Taoist couple, loving each other for a lifetime, enjoying eternal love as an immortal couple⦠Unconsciously, Lingsu suddenly realized.
It seemed that she no longer wanted to kill Qin Changqing.
Lingsu was stunned.
âStrange, why would I have this idea!?â
Lingsu felt that something must have gone wrong with her, otherwise why would she have such thoughts?
She came to kill Qin Changqing!
âIâm here to kill Qin Changqing, Iâm here to kill Qin Changqingâ¦â Lingsu warned herself in her heart.
However, such a confession was somewhat weak, unlike her initial determination to assassinate Qin Changqing. Now, she was thinking more about living a peaceful life like this.
âHeart Devil? I must be plagued by the Heart Devil, but when did it startâ¦â Lingsu was somewhat baffled.
Logically speaking, if she had a Heart Devil, she should be aware of it.
Could it be that she was just being overly suspicious?
âLetâs see how it goes. If it really doesnât work, Iâll have to kill Qin Changqing first and then run away immediately.â
After sorting out her thoughts, Lingsu was no longer anxious and began to care for the flowers and plants peacefully.
Meanwhile, in the Dayan Dynasty.
After the end of the Tianti Road, Nangong Fu couldnât wait to return to the Sect.
Although the matter of Nangong Aotian being crippled was important, he had more important discoveries to report to the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum compared to a mere Third Prince.
âNangong Fu, are you telling the truth?â
In the Dayan Treasure Hall, the figure seated on the throne raised its momentum, âThe person with the Ziwei destiny is actually from the Lingxiao Sect? And a disciple of MO Jiuzhou?â
âThe matter is absolutely true. This time, during the Tianti Road, Qin Changqing used his Tier 6 Golden Elixir cultivation to dominate everyone, even breaking through to the Tier 9 Golden Elixir later on with the help of Tianti Roadâs will. He fought with a mysterious woman, and eventually, he won with the help of the array formation.â
âAlso, regarding this woman, I think she might be related to the Immortal
Gate.â
Nangong Fu recounted what happened on the Tianti Road in detail.
Dayan Emperor, Nangong Wentian frowned, âI never thought that the person
Iâve been trying to find has always been under my watch.â
He also knew about the events that occurred back in Yinxu Prefecture back then, the City Lordâs murder and the struggle between the two major forces.
Even Marshal Dongchi had asked him whether they should fight with the Lingxiao Sect in Yinxu Prefecture, but at that time, considering that the Tianti Road was approaching, Nangong Wentian had denied the request.
If only he had known, perhaps someone should have been sent to kill that Qin Changqing at that time!
âWhere is that woman now?â âYour Majesty, she was taken back to the Lingxiao Sect by Mu Taixu.â âWhat about Qin Changqing?
âI donât know for now. An anomaly occurred at the end of the Tianti Road. I suspect that the Immortal Gate may have done something, but in the end, Qin Changqing was taken away by a mysterious figure, and his whereabouts are still unknown.â
âHumph! Most likely, heâs within the Lingxiao Sect.â Nangong Wentian said coldly, âItâs either MO Jiuzhou or someone from the Taiyi Academy. They really donât know their place, thinking they can fight the Immortal Gate as they are.â
âThe problem is, we canât determine Qin Changqingâs situation. Should we ask the ancestor for instructions and have them contact the Immortal Gate?â
âWe donât need to contact them. With the Immortal Gateâs abilities, theyâve probably known about it for a long time.â Nangong Wentian dismissed the suggestion, âInstead of this, our top priority is to first confirm Qin Changqingâs situation, then try to establish contact with the woman named Lingsuâ¦
Nangong Fu, use our connections within the Lingxiao Sect and have himâ¦â
Before he could finish, Nangong Wentian reached into the void, and there was a communication talisman in his hand.
After inspecting the information inside, his expression paused for a moment before he burst into laughter, âVery interesting! This is so interesting!â Nangong Fu asked in confusion, âWhy is Your Majesty laughing?â
âQin Changqing has returned to the Lingxiao Sect and married Lingsu yesterday.â ???
Nangong Fu was utterly bewildered.
The first part of the conversation was understandable, but what did the latter part mean?
Qin Changqing marrying Lingsu? How do these two things relate?!
Werenât these two supposed to be mortal enemies?
âHold on.â Nangong Fu suddenly realized, âThatâs right. Qin Changqing asked Lingsu on Tianti Road if she had a Taoist couple. And that kid is naturally lascivious, with many wives and concubines; itâs not difficult to imagine him doing such absurd things.â
Nangong Wentian smiled faintly, âPeople like this are the easiest to deal with. Mo Jiuzhou was like this back then, and I didnât expect his disciple to be the same. Those who cultivate but are trapped by emotions can hardly achieve greatness.â
âLetâs hear it.â
Nangong Fu pondered for a moment and said, âSixth Princess.â
Nangong Wentianâs eyes narrowed slightly.
He naturally understood what Nangong Fu meant.
The Sixth Princess was Nangong Xue. Now that she was Qin Changqingâs junior sister, it was a great opportunity for the Dayan Dynasty.
Howeverâ¦
Nangong Wentian said lightly, âLetâs put this plan aside for now. Find a way to inform Lingsu and have her find an opportunity to kill Qin Changqing. We will help her escape.â
Nangong Fuâs eyes flickered slightly, nodding, âYes, Your Majesty.â
A while later, Nangong Fu left the Dayan Treasure Hall.
âYour Majesty, those who achieve great things do not hold onto trifles. Besides, the Sixth Princess herself has a demon bloodline and can never be accepted by the royal family. Why should you waste your kindness on her?â
When the Third Prince was abolished, Nangong Wentian hardly had much reaction.
On the contrary, when it came to Nangong Xue, he implicitly revealed a protective attitude.
Nangong Fu naturally knew some reasons, but for him, the interests of the
Dayan Dynasty were above everything else.
âI need to inform the ancestor about this matter.â
After the end of Tianti Road, most forces within Tianchuan State regarded it as a wonderful show, but keen observers could still discern the undercurrent beneath the apparent calm.
First, the Dayan Dynasty intensified its attack on the Lingxiao Sect. The new City Lord took office in Yinxu Prefecture, openly and secretly battling against the Qin family. Secondly, the fierce battle between the strong of Taiyi Academy and the mysterious figure ended with an unknown result.
Finally, as the Immortal Ascension Conference approached, the Wanjian Pavilion took the initiative to propose the promotion of the Lingxiao Sect but was quickly met by opposition from numerous sects.
If one were to investigate carefully, one could find an inseparable relationship between these sects and the Dayan Dynasty.
The struggle between the two great forces seems to have intensified even before the real start of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
At the same timeâ¦
Inside the Taixuan Peak of the Lingxiao Sectâ¦
Lingsu held a message in her hand and wore a complex expression.
âI didnât expect the Dayan Dynasty to have hidden agents here, but it was also mentioned by the Holy Land that the few old men in the dynasty are not to be
underestimated. No, I have to warn in Changing to be careful of themâ¦
Huh?â
Lingsu paused for a while before she suddenly noticed a problem with her thoughts.
Why would she warn Qin Changqing?
Shouldnât she follow the Dayan Dynastyâs plan, kill Qin Changqing, and then escape?
âI think⦠Iâm falling in love with Qin Changqing.â Lingsu said with disbelief, and then, she suddenly felt that nothing was wrong, âNow that Iâm progressing much faster in my cultivation than before, I donât need to live in fear and take risks to do those things, do I?â
âQin Changqing treats me sincerely, has a good character, and I have been very happy in the month weâve been a Taoist couple. Why should I betray him?â Yes, with such a good life now, what could be unsatisfying?
With these thoughts in mind, Lingsuâs gaze grew more determined. She turned and walked out of the room..
