Boarding Life-Chapter 488

Qin Qi heard this and couldn’t help but fall silent.

To be honest, he didn’t want to get involved in Wen Caide’s affairs. Although he was powerful now and few dared to provoke him across the provinces,

he also didn’t want to make enemies for no reason!

Moreover, someone from the Yuan family worked in the Governance Department, which meant that their influence and background were particularly strong.

Besides, he was young himself, how could he take care of a child?

Seeing Qin Qi silent.

Despite her young age, Wen Caide was very aware of the outcome of the situation.

The strength she had desperately tried to maintain completely collapsed at this moment, and tears began to flow down her cheeks.

"I... I understand..."

Wen Caide sobbed, turned silently, and intended to leave.

Han Siqi beside her bit her lip lightly, demonstrating her evident concern and pain.

She also thought Qin Qi was not going to agree since the little girl’s background was too complicated to deal with.

But just at this crucial moment, Qin Qi suddenly said, "Alright, I’ll agree to it. However, there are some things I need to clarify with you first!"

Wen Caide immediately turned around, "I, I agree to everything. I’m very capable of enduring hardships, I’ll do whatever you ask!"

Originally, Qin Qi indeed had no intention of agreeing.

The reason he changed his mind was partly because the girl’s fate, if she left, would be undoubtedly miserable.

And more importantly, the mysterious woman had just told him that if he missed out on this needle kit, it would be hard to find it again!

This forced him to change his mind!

Qin Qi said directly, "Rest assured, I’m not asking you to do anything. I just want to tell you that while I can take you as my apprentice and teach you my skills, you must promise me something. When you grow up, without absolute strength and confidence, do not seek revenge!"

Hearing Qin Qi agree to take her, Wen Caide was overjoyed and didn’t mind Qin Qi’s conditions at all.

She immediately knelt down, "Greetings... Master!"

Her immature and awkward tone, made her look both childish and pitiful.

Qin Qi noticed her face was still dirty, then looked over at Han Siqi and said warmly, "Why don’t you get her something to eat first, and then take her for a bath?"

Han Siqi was overjoyed to hear Qin Qi’s consent, and she smiled sweetly, "Yes, Master!"

She waved to Wen Caide, "Come, let’s go get some food. There’s ready-made stuff in the hotel, eat whatever you like, let’s go!"

Upon hearing the word "eat," Wen Caide gulped down her saliva.

It was evident she hadn’t had a decent meal for many days, so she immediately followed Han Siqi upstairs.

Qin Qi knew that handing the little girl to Han Siqi was enough, so he first found a room in the hotel to study the needle kit.

Once he felt enough time had passed, he returned home.

Back at home, Qin Qi couldn’t help but ask, "You said this needle kit is rare? Why do you say that if I miss this chance, it would be hard to find it again next time?"

The mysterious woman chuckled, "You have no idea how lucky you are, yet you were still considering rejecting that little girl?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Qi was still confused.

The mysterious woman, in a languid tone, explained, "Did you really think the needle kit that little girl took out just so happened to meet the requirements of the Golden Needle Bone Forging Technique, and even coincidentally matched the exact number of 108 needles?"

"That’s because her family’s medical heritage probably has a significant background!"

Qin Qi grew more puzzled, "I don’t understand. What do you mean exactly?"

The mysterious woman calmed down to explain earnestly, "The Silver Que pages record many techniques, including forbidden arts, secret books, mental methods, and even medical techniques, alchemy, and formations, all within its scope!"

"But even though many are recorded, they actually all come from the same faction originally!"

"Over the years, they have spread in all directions, scattered into countless pages, and fallen into many hands!"

Qin Qi thought for a moment and realized, "So you’re saying the Health Yang Technique with the Golden Needle Bone Forging Method is essentially a needle technique from a medical Chapter in the Silver Que pages?"

"And this little girl’s ancestors obtained medical knowledge from the Silver Que pages?"

The mysterious woman slowly replied, "Otherwise, where do you think the Golden Needle Bone Forging Method came from? It certainly didn’t appear out of thin air. It naturally comes from the contents of the Silver Que pages. However, the pages have been scattered into countless fragments, so that’s why you weren’t aware!"

"And do you think this little girl’s family suddenly got targeted and exterminated for no reason?"

"Such instances of a family’s influence disappearing almost spontaneously across the provinces are extremely rare!"

Qin Qi listened and suddenly realized.

Could it be that Wen’s family was eradicated because the medical knowledge they held originated from the Silver Que pages?

"It can’t be that exaggerated. Would an entire clan be wiped out just for possessing a medical classic from the Silver Que pages?" Qin Qi still found it hard to believe.

The mysterious woman sneered, "There’s nothing exaggerated about it. The value of the Silver Que pages far exceeds your imagination. The reason those already surfaced haven’t incited envy is that everyone already learned them!"

"But, the truly rare Silver Que pages that remain hidden from the public, once discovered, would lead to bloody conflicts!"

"Never mind this little girl’s family; even you aren’t immune. A medical classic alone caused that, and the content of the Silver Que pages you possess far surpasses a single medical text."

Qin Qi thought of the Silver Que pages in his possession.

He shuddered and then took a deep breath, "Well then, I’ve already thoroughly offended Cai Nian; with or without these Silver Que pages, there is no reconciling between us. I can only find ways to quickly enhance my strength!"

Despite saying so confidently, he already understood the seriousness of the situation.

He must conquer targets and increase his strength as quickly as possible.

He couldn’t estimate when Cai Nian would strike again.

Furthermore, even last time, against the secretary Zuo and Wang Qiang, he was not their match. The next crisis could only be more difficult than with Zuo and Wang...

"Damn, the more I think about it, the worse it gets!" Qin Qi’s lips twitched.

"It’s good that you’re clear on that!" The mysterious woman appeared quite pleased.

Qin Qi took a deep breath, "We’re in this together, you can still be happy about it?"

The mysterious woman chuckled, "What else could I do?"

Qin Qi couldn’t be bothered to continue conversing with her and chose to close his eyes and meditate, gradually reciting the Heart Clarity Spell.

The more critical it was, the clearer his mind needed to be!

He had to follow the original plan!

He could only wait for Duan Meng to lose patience and for his desires to break the shackles that bound his heart!
