Chapter 1169: Chapter 1169: Dazzling Pearl
Qin Sisi’s face was adorned with a gentle smile as she soothingly glanced at Jing Jing and Xiao ng, then unwaveringly fixed her gaze on Ye You.
Ye You clenched his fists and then released them, hesitating to make a decision.
Qin Sisi approached Ye You and softly asked, "Do you not trust ?"
Ye You sighed and replied, "I’m just worried about you."
Qin Sisi curled her lips, speaking softly, "Don’t worry, you ntioned it, Hong Ji is rely an Interdiate Magic God and definitely not a match for Qing Xun and ."
Theoretically, that’s true, but a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and unexpected changes could occur on soone else’s territory.
Qin Sisi’s voice dropped a few notches, "Xiao Hei, this is the best thod, isn’t it?"
With Taiyi Mountain and Seven Pearl City both under urgent threat, as the two most capable mbers of the team, it’s the best solution for them to split up.
Ye You sighed deeply again, finally gritting his teeth and saying, "All right, I agree."
Just as Qin Sisi was about to say sothing more, Ye You had already turned to Yun Wang and commanded loudly, "Yun Wang, accompany Sisi and Jing Jing to Seven Pearl City and ensure their safety."
Faced with Ye You’s command, uncertainty appeared on Yun Wang’s face for the first ti, "But what about Taiyi Mountain..."
Ye You replied clearly, "I assure you, Taiyi Mountain will be safe and sound, your people will be waiting for you peacefully."
Yun Wang imdiately bowed to Ye You, replying loudly, "Thank you, Your Highness, I obey."
Ye You nodded, then turned to Qin Sisi, speaking softly, "Promise , take good care of yourself."
Qin Sisi nodded firmly, and proactively embraced Ye You, who stretched his arms around her tightly.
As the farewell lood, Xiao ng approached Jing Jing, murmuring "Sister."
Jing Jing suppressed the ache in her heart and forced a smile at Xiao ng, comforting her, "Don’t worry, everything will be fine, you go with His Highness to Taiyi Mountain, and once I’ve finished here, I’ll co to find you."
Xiao ng bit her lip and gathered courage to ask, "Sister, is it worth it?"
For soone who doesn’t love you, is it worth risking everything and being so committed?
Jing Jing’s face was pale, and she murmured in response, "I don’t know, I only know I can’t let him be in danger."
Xiao ng silently sighed in her heart, Jing Jing was just drawn in like that, what could possibly be done?
The few of them quickly discussed a plan and then set out separately.
Qin Sisi, Jing Jing, and Yun Wang flew together towards the east to Seven Pearl City, while Ye You took Xiao ng southeast to Taiyi Mountain, agreeing that whichever side completed their task first would rush to help the other.
Qin Sisi used the Wings of Rainbow, moving faster than Jing Jing and Yun Wang, but as a team, they couldn’t separate, so Qin Sisi deliberately slowed down to travel with them.
Along the journey, Qin Sisi, adhering to the principle of "know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated," carefully inquired of Jing Jing and Yun Wang about the situation in Seven Pearl City.
Yun Wang could only give a rough idea, but Jing Jing was different. Maybe due to her love for everything related, though she had never been to Seven Pearl City, she knew a lot about its geographical environnt and the Zhulu family’s circumstances.
Seven Pearl City is a coastal city composed of seven islands, arranged in a curved shape like a string of luminous pearls scattered on the ocean.
The center island is the largest among the seven, nad Bizhu Island, where the Chief Mansion is located.
Seven Pearl City is influenced by the sea, boasting a warm and humid climate, with towering green bamboo growing on each island, forming lush and verdant bamboo forests and creating a tranquil environnt.
Bamboo is the emblem of the Zhulu family.
It is said that in ancient tis, the creation god of Demon Sacred Realm, the Phoenix, had a trendously powerful weapon made from a bamboo as green as jade, nad Bizhu Halberd.
The Bizhu Halberd accompanied Phoenix in battles across the land, pacifying the world. When the Demon Sacred Realm gradually took shape, Phoenix decided to seek seclusion, throwing the Bizhu Halberd into the sea.
The appearance of the Bizhu Halberd transford into the Seven Pearl Islands, with half its Spiritual Energy turning into the lush green bamboo on the islands, and the other half transforming into two individuals, a man and a woman, the ancestors of the Zhulu family.
From then on, the Zhulu family, intrinsically tied to the Water Attribute, gradually erged, with bamboo as their sacred family symbol.
Qing Xun’s mother was originally the clan leader’s wife. After Hong Zhi’s death, Hong Ji succeeded him as clan leader, and Qing Xun’s mother’s na took on a respectful form as Mrs. Ying.
Qing Xun also had a younger sister, nad Qing Rouhen, three years younger than Qing Xun, whom Qing Xun dearly loved.
It’s said that Qing Rouhen also had a good magic aptitude and should have gone to study at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, but perhaps due to losing her father at a young age, Qing Rouhen was very shy and unwilling to leave her mother, so Qing Xun had her trained in magic within the family.
But as a result, Qing Rouhen’s progress was notably slow.
Qing Xun had two uncles; the current clan leader is his second uncle, Hong Ji, who has a son and a daughter. The daughter is older, nad Qing Yang, and the son is Qing Pu, who was once Qin Sisi’s classmate.
Qing Xun’s third uncle was nad Hong Yuan, who had twin daughters nad Qing Yuan and Qing Xiang, both apparently under twenty.
Jing Jing was very concerned about everything related to Qing Xun, and she had once inadvertently heard people say that Qing Xun’s third uncle Hong Yuan was a playboy, often indulging in debauchery in the entertainnt districts.
Hong Yuan’s wife was a jealous person, frequently engaged in noisy argunts with her husband, with their ho constantly embroiled in turbulent conflicts and becoming the subject of gossip.
Qin Sisi listened carefully as Jing Jing described the situation in Seven Pearl City, her brow slightly furrowed; it turned out Qing Pu was involved.
She probably should have thought of it earlier; Qing Pu, being the son of the Zhulu family’s clan leader, could only be Hong Ji’s son and Qing Xun’s cousin.
While studying together at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle, Qin Sisi noticed that Qing Pu was industrious, but it seed he was in competition with soone.
If her guess was correct, the person Qing Pu was competing with should be Qing Xun.
According to what Jing Jing said, Qing Xun is the one in the younger generation of the Zhulu family with the best magical aptitude, becoming more radiant after refining at Heavenly Magic God’s Castle.
If Hong Ji fulfills his promises, Qing Xun will be the next clan leader of the Zhulu family.
Qing Pu probably is taking Qing Xun as his role model!
The three flew eastward, facing the cold and hunger, forging ahead relentlessly, and finally, after three days and nights, arrived at the skies above Seven Pearl City.
Qin Sisi looked down to see a vast blue sea with seven oval islands floating upon it, the middle island being larger while the others were smaller, indeed resembling seven radiant pearls strung into a splendid necklace, shimring on the waves.
