Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 44: The Wind Rises

Liu Su's distress did not last long.

A guard from the royal palace knocked on the courtyard door, "Mr. Qin, there is someone from the palace who wishes to see you."

The couple, lost in their passionate kiss, abruptly awakened. It was inevitable for King to summon Qin Yi.

Li Qingjun pushed Qin Yi away, breathing slightly heavily. Her confused mind slowly regained clarity as she whispered, "You can't... just kiss me and call it a day. Behave well when you meet my father... I'll go back and pack my things. If my father insists on marrying me off to Mang Zhan, we'll elope immediately."

Qin Yi's heart softened as he replied softly, "I will do my best to perform well, at least making it difficult for your father to make a decision."

Li Qingjun nodded earnestly, "Okay. I trust you."

Qin Yi turned and picked up the wolf tooth club, striding out.

The eunuch from yesterday was still the same. When he saw Qin Yi, he frowned, "Why are you carrying a weapon into the palace?"

Qin Yi thought to himself, Do you really want me to carry you instead? He answered, "This is a Law Weapon, not a weapon. I will explain when I see the king."

The eunuch shook his head, "I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the palace with a weapon, sir. It's better to leave it at home."

Qin Yi discreetly handed over a silver coin and whispered, "If there's a eunuch accompanying me, how can I not enter the palace? Just say it's a special decree from the king..."

After hesitating for a moment, the eunuch finally gave in and turned to lead Qin Yi into the palace, smiling, "Being summoned twice in a row, the king values Mr. Qin greatly."

Qin Yi sighed.

It wasn't that the king valued him, Qin Yi, but rather his medicine.

It wasn't that he valued his own daughter, but rather his cultivation.

He was just a selfish old bastard...

His daughter's marriage was merely a bargaining chip between binding a Taoist and appeasing the enemy country's harassment, depending on which one was more important. If it weren't for Li Qingjun dragging her brother to search for immortality, bringing back this Taoist, there would be no doubt that she would truly be married off.

What is destined will happen.

Lost in thought, the two of them entered a narrow alley. There were people sitting by the wall, selling vegetables and hot bean curd. Qin Yi saw it from a distance and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, stopping in his tracks.

The eunuch was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

Qin Yi said, "Eunuch, there must be more than one way to enter the palace, right?"

"Of course, this one is the closest," the eunuch said strangely, "Didn't we take this route yesterday?"

Qin Yi began to slowly retreat, "The person selling bean curd today is different from yesterday."

The eunuch was speechless, "Do you remember what the person selling food on the roadside looked like yesterday?"

Of course, Qin Yi didn't remember what the person selling food on the roadside looked like yesterday.

But he recognized this person selling bean curd today even if he turned to ashes.

Because this person was one of the two who killed the original owner of this body on Xianji Mountain! The original owner's regular memories were swallowed by a certain stinky stick, leaving almost no memories for him, only resentment related to his death, even hating the National Teacher to the extreme, let alone this person who could be considered the true enemy who killed him!

Even the subconscious mind of his body wanted to rush up and smash his skull with a stick, but he knew he couldn't act impulsively. This person appearing here, everyone selling vegetables here must be Donghua Zi's people!

Qin Yi took a few steps back and suddenly turned and ran.

There was a commotion in the alley, and all the vendors selling vegetables and breakfast rushed to overturn their stalls, drawing their swords and shouting as they chased after Qin Yi. Several archers even appeared on the wall, shooting arrows at Qin Yi's back from a distance.

Of course, it was all in vain.

Poor eunuch had no idea what was happening and was pushed by the vendors who rushed over, hitting the wall and passing out.

Qin Yi faced two flashes of blades head-on. They were the people Mang Zhan had prepared to block his way in the alley, but now they were forced to act hastily.

Curved blades, Mang Zhan's men.

A cold smile appeared on Qin Yi's lips.

Being trapped would be troublesome, but with this kind of fight, do you really think I'm just a Taoist?

"Bang!"

The wolf-toothed club whistled past, without any fancy techniques, just as fierce and ferocious as a tiger. How could a knife withstand such a surging blow? Even the knife and the head were smashed to pieces.

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Although I often saw Qin Yi walking around with a wolf-toothed club, blocking Mang Zhan's spear and blocking General Liu's knife, his true strength had never been truly revealed. He looked too delicate and weak, completely different from the style of the wolf-toothed club.

It was really contrasting to see such a delicate and ethereal young boy smashing someone's head with a club.

The other swordsman facing Qin Yi didn't have time to be stunned. While Qin Yi was smashing his companion, he also stabbed towards Qin Yi's ribs.

Qin Yi dodged swiftly and agilely. Then, his hand didn't stop as he swung the club back.

Another "bang" sound, the onlookers in the distance couldn't help but tremble. The feeling of the wolf-toothed club smashing the back of the head...

This young boy was not an ordinary sorcerer, the wolf-toothed club was not just for show. He was actually a Martial Artist with abundant True Qi, great strength, and proficient club techniques!

His fighting style was particularly brutal!

No wonder when Prince Mang Zhan made arrangements, he solemnly stated that he must set up a heavy encirclement and attack in narrow alleys. It was judged from the moment he blocked that spear. Qin Yi's strength was much stronger than it appeared!

To make a long story short, Qin Yi quickly dealt with the two obstructing people in an instant, and the people in the alley had only just rushed to the entrance. The entrance looked densely packed, and there were still people outside wielding knives and swords coming from all directions towards Qin Yi. It was unknown how many people there were.

Qin Yi turned his head and looked at the entrance of the alley, smiling slightly, and formed a hand seal with his left hand.

"Swift!"

As if there were invisible ripples spreading, the people in the front suddenly felt as if their feet were filled with lead, and even taking a step became very difficult. Just with this sudden stop, the people behind crashed into them, and a group of people rolled into a ball.

Basic Daoist technique, sluggishness.

Studying Daoist knowledge these days wasn't in vain... Originally, it was said that there was no mana, so understanding without being able to use it, but now it's different...

Qin Yi dodged a sword thrust coming from the side, and with a pull of his left hand, he made the attacker stumble. The person turned his head in panic, only to see Qin Yi smiling.

"Bang!"

The onlookers in the distance trembled again.

Qin Yi laughed heartily, "Goodbye, everyone. Please send my regards to the National Teacher and the wild man who is my rival in love!"

With these words, he had already rushed into the crowd and disappeared in an instant.

...

Just as Qin Yi was leaving with the eunuch, Li Qinglin approached Li Qingjun who was about to leave.

"Um, brother." Li Qingjun's face was still slightly red from her first kiss with Qin Yi, and she felt even more embarrassed when she saw her brother.

Li Qinglin also smiled when he saw his sister's appearance. Over the years, it was really hard to imagine that his fiery and strong-willed sister would blush so easily. But in these past few days, he had seen her so many times that it seemed like his sister had become a different person.

"Qingjun, don't go back to your princess's residence these days." Li Qinglin casually said, "Since Qin Yi is staying here, it's troublesome for you to keep coming back and forth. It's better to stay here for a few days and accompany your sister-in-law."

Li Qingjun pouted, "What's the point of staying here? Are you really going to let Qin Yi drug me?"

Li Qinglin blinked, "Do you need to drug you? Standing in front of you, isn't he a natural aphrodisiac?"

Li Qingjun stomped her foot, "I'm not talking to you anymore."

"Wait." Li Qinglin stopped his sister and finally became serious, "Your princess's residence is no longer safe these days. Someone might take desperate measures. Whether Qin Yi drugs you or not doesn't matter, but if Mang Zhan drugs you, it will be too late to regret."

Li Qingjun was stunned, and her expression also became serious.

Li Qinglin looked at the sky and said, "I have to go out now. Keep this."

Looking at the jade pendant handed to her, Li Qingjun was extremely surprised, "This is your self-defense jade pendant, why are you giving it to me?"

Li Qinglin smiled faintly, "If Donghua Zi wants to deal with me, he must have already considered this thing. Its effect is not as great as imagined. But no one would have thought that it would be on you, the effect would be different."

Li Qingjun stared at him in a daze.

Li Qinglin said lightly, "If I lose, at least Nanli still has you."
