How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 912 - 710: Young Master, Do Not Disturb Your Tao Heart (Part 2)
Capítulo 912: Chapter 710: Young Master, Do Not Disturb Your Tao Heart (Part 2)
“Cousin, you’re also mistaken!” Lin Xiaosu said, “The Mental Path and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect are not completely separate; standing behind him is the Mental Path, but it’s not just the Mental Path.”
“You mean the Mental Path and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect collectively helped this Prince?”
“Why not?” Lin Xiaosu laughed, “Whenever there’s chaos in the world, the Mental Path is never absent, and the Ten Thousand Poison Sect just happens to need the Mental Path to collude with!”
Hu Ji’s heart raced, “So you’re saying, the moment we stepped onto this Jianghu road, we’ve already stepped into the encirclement of two major superpowers?”
“Maybe even more!”
“What else?”
“The Yan Country!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Today, I formally visited King Lanning. News will quickly spread to the Yan Country, causing their top brass to be on guard. If they don’t want me to teach them a lesson on the battlefield, they might seize the opportunity while I’m in Lanning City to assassinate me early.”
Hu Ji sighed lightly, “What have I been dragged into, stepping onto this path? What should we do?”
“There’s nothing much we can do; when soldiers come, we block with generals; when floods come, we cover with earth. If assassins come, Qing Ying will defend the exterior, and cousin, you protect me closely. What else can we do?” Lin Xiaosu said.
Close protection?
Hu Ji felt waves surging in her heart.
Is this little rascal setting me up?
Forcing me to share a room with you…
Just because I haven’t experienced things between men and women doesn’t mean I’m stupid…
“Marquis, you and the young lady stay at the inn, the task of inviting the Qian du Sect falls on me alone,” Qing Ying said.
She also realized the seriousness of the situation.
The Marquis’s methods on the battlefield are too formidable; if she were from the Yan Country, she certainly wouldn’t dare to let him ascend Zheyuntai, and would definitely try to assassinate him.
He can’t wander around aimlessly, especially not to Qian du Sect.
This sect, infamous for its poisons, holds itself as a branch of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect; worldly taboos have no effect on them. No one can guarantee they won’t commit acts like assassinating an imperial envoy.
Even if they don’t directly assassinate, with their divine poison methods, they could certainly poison him in advance.
Lin Xiaosu shook his head gently, “Going to Qian du Sect is useless for you; only I, the Marquis, can go personally.”
“Marquis, why is that?” Qing Ying was greatly surprised.
Lin Xiaosu said, “Inviting them for a meeting doesn’t require a specific person, but without extreme sensitivity, you can’t discern the essence of the Qian du Sect.”
Hu Ji and Qing Ying’s eyes brightened.
His intention is not in the invitation itself; he aims to probe the essence of the Qian du Sect for future strategic plans.
This is something Qing Ying truly cannot accomplish.
She does not possess such strong sensing power.
Maybe Hu Ji could, but the strongest is still Lin Xiaosu himself.
“Do we go now?” Qing Ying took a deep breath.
“Not now!” Lin Xiaosu said, “Give them some time, the day after tomorrow! The day after tomorrow, the three of us will go together!”
“Give them some time… What do you mean?” Qing Ying asked.
Lin Xiaosu laughed, “Did you think King Lanning set the time for three days later for no reason? These few days are meant for discussions.”
Qing Ying pondered for a long time, “Marquis, doing this will put you in a dilemma.”
“What dilemma?”
Qing Ying said, “They have ample time for discussion, ensuring a foolproof plan. There will be two possibilities: the first, the Qian du Sect refuses to talk, blocking any plans you have at the outset of the three-party talks.”
“Indeed, and what about the other ‘possibility’?” Lin Xiaosu asked.
“The second possibility, they agree happily, which means they have a comprehensive plan prepared,” Qing Ying said.
Lin Xiaosu laughed, “Cousin, is our Qing Ying really maturing?”
Hu Ji grinned, not knowing what to say. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Matured!
Why does your mention of maturity always give me an unhealthy impression?
Are you referring to her figure or something?
Also, when you included me, saying, ‘Our Qing Ying.’
Qing Ying is ours?
Please, she’s yours!
Didn’t you see the stars in her eyes when she looked at you?
Especially when you mentioned maturation, she unconsciously looked at her own ample chest, with a slightly excited expression…
This little rascal, can’t you speak without making things suggestive?
One sentence enticing two women, you truly can do it.
For the time ahead, Lin Xiaosu seemed to have no official business.
Sitting leisurely atop the tavern, left foot crossed over the right, enjoying the moment.
Holding the teacup brought by Qing Ying, he discussed with her which flowers would cover the northern mountains first come spring.
Qing Ying was quite emotional.
In this world, she had stayed for four months.
Every day had been like a highly tense falcon; how often had she seen the Marquis act like this?
He could see through hidden truths with one glance, never concealing himself, calmly exposing himself to the whole city’s gaze.
He rarely walked solemnly through the quiet room; he preferred basking in the early spring sunshine, showing his unparalleled charm.
Such a man truly has unmatched appeal to women; even his cousin’s eyes look different when she sees him. Is she really just a cousin, or maybe a reserved lady of the Marquis Mansion?
The relaxed moments quietly disappeared into the northern fields.
The sunset arrived as expected, with a faint touch of gold.
As night fell, Lanning City emerged from the bustling day, falling into silence.
