Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World-Chapter 37: Into The Mortal World

When Qin Yi arrived at Ye Ling’s small courtyard, Li Qingjun came to the door of the crown prince’s mansion with a spear.

There was a group of people gathered outside the door. The commander said to the butler, “This is beastkin aura. It might be hostile to the crown prince. Let us go in and save the prince from trouble.”

The butler was a little hesitant. Of course he couldn’t let them in, but he was also worried about the black air inside. Besides, the commander was a trusted confidant of the crown. He often entered the mansion, so the butler wasn’t wary of him. He just said, “The crown prince has imposed strict rules. When he is not in the mansion, I dare not allow anyone to enter without permission, so I hope General Liu can understand.”

Then General Liu said, “It is crown prince who ordered me to go back to the mansion to see the situation.”

The butler didn’t doubt him at all. He nodded and said, “Then I’ll let General Liu through.”

General Liu looked happy and was about to enter. Suddenly, a cold light suddenly appeared and went straight at his throat. He backed away in shock. After taking a closer look, it was Li Qingjun who was stopping him with a straight face.

“Princess, this…”

Li Qingjun said coldly, “You said that it might harm the crown prince, but you also said that it was the prince who ordered you to come. Don’t you think it’s ridiculously contradicting?”

The butler was startled. He looked at General Liu with extreme vigilance. He stretched out his hand, and there were countless guards from the left and right blocking the door.

General Liu also felt that he was unlucky. This Princess Zhao Yang has always been reckless, but how is she so careful today? She caught a flaw in my words that even the old butler didn’t notice? He could only argue, “Princess Zhao Yang is overthinking. I’m just worry that something bad may happen in the crown prince’s mansion. It is indeed the crown prince who ordered me to come…”

In fact, Li Qingjun wasn’t careful at the slightest. She was just here to cause trouble because Qin Yi asked her to stop the people until her brother returned. Would she not know how to cause trouble?

She pointed at him with a spear and stretched out the other hand, “Token.”

“I came in a hurry, so the crown prince didn’t give me a token…” General Liu said, “It’s just a small matter. The crown prince won’t use the token for everything…”

Li Qingjun squinted. She finally understood why Qin Yi asked her to stop any outsiders.

There is definitely something wrong with this guy. It is true that you are a confidant of brother. You may not need a token to enter the mansion privately, but how can you enter the mansion with a group of soldiers without a token? This is not Li Qinglin’s order!

General Liu wanted to say something more, but Li Qingjun became furious, “Get lost!”

With a sweep of the long spear, the few people standing at the door were forced back by her. They all had ugly faces.

Ths is troublesome.

How can I possibly run into this princess here?

Do I really have to forcefully break into the prince’s mansion?

Not far away, Qin Yi and Ming He were watching this scene under the shade of a tree.

“The prince’s confidant tries to break into the prince’s mansion while the prince is away.” Qin Yi smiled, “Interesting, isn’t it?”

Ming He watched quietly, without answering or showing any expression. That look was “why does it have to do with me”.

Qin Yi interjected, “Do taoist really think that it has nothing to do with you?”

Ming He glanced at him.

“If the taoist enters the mansion, eliminates the beastkin, and brings it to Dong Huazi, then this scene would not have happened.”

Ming He was thoughtful. Soon, she realized that this matter clearly.

Of course, I don’t need to explain to Dong Huazi what I’m doing. Dong Huazi didn’t even know when the Seven Stars Array was cast. It is obvious that he sees the beastkin aura soaring into the sky, so he specially sent someone in to pick the beastkin’s corpse.

General Liu could do this on his own, but why did he bring a team…

Qin Yi seemed to know what she was thinking. He said directly, “I went to the palace early this morning, and someone broke into my yard and died under the taoist’s mahogany sword. The corpses has not been buried yet. General Liu doesn’t know the specific situation, so how can he have the guts to come in by himself?”

Ming He nodded.

“So regardless of the cause and effect of this matter, it is related to taoist.” Qin Yi continued, “In fact, taoist thinks that you are eliminating beastkin and not involves in the power struggles, but you have already become the arrow in Dong Huazi’s power struggle. You just didn’t know it.”

Ming He suddenly said, “So you want to say that I’m also in the play?”

Qin Yi said, “Since you have entered the mortal world, you are in it. You say that you just want to watch the show, but how easy is it?”

Ming He asked back, “So you are also Li Qinglin’s arrow?”

Qin Yi thought for a while, then he shook his head and said, “At least I’m in love with his sister, so it’s not too much to say that he is my relative and friend right. Besides, I have the same goals as him in many things. What’s your relationship with Dong Huazi?”

Ming He was silent. She sighed softly after a while, “Yes, once I have entered the mortal world, I’m already in it. I thought I was just observing, but I have already been involved in the cause and effect and need to bear the consequences. Tao friend is right.”

Tao friend… This wais the first time Ming He called Qin Yi that way.

Everyone seeked different thing. The main reason for Ming He to come out of the mountain was to experience the mortal world, killing beastkins and demons was just additional mission. The show that Qin Yi invited her to watch and the words he said hit the key point accurately.

Those who know my Tao were naturally tao friend.

Liu Su was also secretly surprised. I have never discussed with Qin Yi about what Ming He is doing in South Li Kingdom. From various indications, she is probably traveling the world to eliminate the beastkins. A small reason could be due to Dong Huazi. However, Qin Yi can tell that she is here to experience the mortal world.

Although Qin Yi is not considered to be cunning, at most he is just clever, but he seemed to have a talent. His sense is very keen. For example… At the beginning, he thought I still had the intention of possessing him; he felt something wrong when Li Qinglin was delaying. All these are related to this sensitivity.

This is not something that can be gained by cultivating.

I wonder how the immortal world is like now… If I could be like Qin Yi back in my day, I could have done well.

Liu Su was lost in thought while Qin Yi was still talking to Ming He, “Actually, you were right about the different in human and beastkin argument just now.”

Ming He was a little surprised,. Qin Yi’s attitude just now was not like this…

Qin Yi sighed, “You said that only the cultivators eliminates the beastkins and protect the world, so that this world has the current prosperity. I enjoy this benefit without knowing it. It seems like… enjoying singing and dancing in the city, but accusing the frontier soldiers for killing people. It’s stupid to think about it… But I don’t have enough cultivation. I feel that this isn’t the explanation, but I can’t it clearly. In short, I still haven’t figured it out. At least… I can’t watch Ye Ling die in front of me.”

Ming He seemed to be smiling, “Ye Ling?”

“Ugh, the name just now is just a makeup name. I know I can’t hide it from tao friend, so I won’t make a fool of myself.” Qin Yi said frankly, “But since you’re starting to watch the show, why don’t you watch it more thoroughly?”

Ming He nodded and didn’t reply.

She appreciated Qin Yi’s frank confession. There were a lot of people in the world who stuck to their own opinions to the end, but how many people could frankly admit that they still hadn’t figure it out?

Then she decided to make a decision after watching the full show. She knew what Qin Yi said was right. She had unintentionally become the arrow in the power struggles of the others, so she didn’t want to meddle in.

General Liu at the door over there finally couldn’t stand the stalemate any longer.

Anyway, going into the crown prince’s mansion is not an order at all, and the princess has already noticed it, so it’s useless to back off at this time. I will definitely not be able to escape the crown prince’s punishment in the future, so I might as well force it!

“Since the princess can’t trust me, in order not to disobey the general’s order, I can only use force!” General Liu unsheathed his sword and led his team to attack the door.

Li Qingjun raised a long spear. The 2 sides quickly collided.

Qin Yi originally wanted to say something to Ming He, but seeing that Li Qingjun and General Liu were fighting, he couldn’t hold back anymore. He ran over with his mace and hit General Liu head-on.

With the sound of “clang“, General Liu’s hands were numb. He moved back in shock.

Li Qingjun said in surprise, “You finally came. Is everything okay inside?” 𝗯𝗲𝐝𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝐥.𝗻𝗲𝐭

Qin Yi smiled slightly, “It’s fine.”

Li Qingjun swept away a soldier and said with a smile, “What a good timing! Let’s fight side by side.”

Seeing their amorous expressions, the atmosphere of the battle was a bit sour. Ming He in the distance shook her head slightly.

No wonder that he said that he is already in it. Qin Yi really dwells in it thoroughly. This is no longer entering the mortal world, but being entangled in it. He has fallen into a dream. How does he still cultivate? Who is his master? Will his master die out of anger after seeing this?

The sound of horseshoes came from the end of the long street. Li Qinglin led the team to gallop back home. He took the lead and rushed straight into the battle. General Liu was astounded. He wanted to retreat, but Li Qinglin didn’t give him a chance. As the silver spear was launched, blood splatterd; General Liu, who was covering his throat, died.

The murderous intent of a veteran who fought on the battlefield was by no mean comparable to Qin Yi and Li Qingjun. As soon as he came, the soldiers surrounding the princess all looked ashen. They lost their fighting spirit, threw their weapons to the ground, and surrendered.

The fight subsided in an instant, but Li Qinglin didn’t look complacent. He looked at Qin Yi rather seriously, “Brother Qin, the situation has changed. Let’s go in to discuss in detail.”

When Qin Yi turned his head, Ming He had already disappeared under the tree in the mansion.

TL: Situation has changed? Good or Bad? Isn’t the crisis temporarily solved?
