"Just kidding, just kidding, you silly girl, I’m so old yet I’m joking, why are you taking it seriously?"
Qiu Tianlin quickly opened his mouth, evidently not wanting Ye Qingci to reveal this matter.
Ye Qingci, already aware of this, rolled her eyes and said, "The senior can joke, but I can’t?"
Qiu Tianlin awkwardly laughed along and said, "It’s better to joke less in the future, I’m getting old, can’t handle it, can’t handle it at all..."
"Let’s talk about business, Senior Qiu."
Qiu Tianlin looked at Ye Qingci as she changed the topic and realized sothing, his expression also sank.
"Did you et the person?"
"Yes, just as you guessed. The Heavenly Punishnt Secret Envoy I t in the Luo Clan is the sa secret agent nickna you left back then. The good news is that she seems not to have forgotten about you, senior."
"And the bad news?"
Qiu Tianlin’s face remained calm, having seen too many storms, he wasn’t moved by this.
"Heaven, Earth, and Human, the three groups of secret agents, now there’s only one person left."
Such shocking news fell on his ears, and even Qiu Tianlin was montarily stunned.
Ye Qingci did not speak imdiately, instead, she waited silently for Qiu Tianlin to digest the news.
After a long while, Qiu Tianlin sighed deeply, "No wonder the Heaven Punishnt Departnt has turned out this way, it’s truly beco a na alone."
"Senior, you’re still here."
Qiu Tianlin sneered, his face full of self-mockery.
"Since ancient tis, when the ruler wishes the minister dead, the minister cannot avoid death. When the late emperor wanted to create the Heaven Punishnt Departnt, I had guessed this day would co, just didn’t expect..."
"If Uncle Su were still here."
"It’s useless. Your Majesty knows this very well, that’s why things ended up the way they did."
Ye Qingci looked up at Qiu Tianlin and said, "Senior, are you saying..."
"It’s just the two of us here, why so secretive. Even if His Majesty didn’t intervene back then, wouldn’t he know the truth? Would Zhao Xuanzhen not understand the right and wrong? Ultimately, he couldn’t be the executioner, soone would always help him. Even..."
Qiu Tianlin’s indignant words suddenly stopped, but Ye Qingci had already understood what Qiu Tianlin wanted to say.
Clearly, Qiu Tianlin himself said there was no one else here, yet now the words he wanted to say, he stopped himself.
It wasn’t that he couldn’t think of it, but he didn’t dare to think further.
"Senior, I will find out the truth."
"Hope so."
Qiu Tianlin chuckled lightly, then pushed an item in front of Ye Qingci with a wave of his hand.
Ye Qingci only took a glance and imdiately recognized it.
"Is this the Heavenly Punishnt Order?"
"Although it’s no longer of much use, at least it has so symbolic aning, and it can make Zigui obey your orders."
"No way! Senior, the Heavenly Punishnt Order has always been held by the Sect Master of the Heaven Punishnt Departnt, what sense does it make to give it to , I’m not even part of the Heaven Punishnt Departnt."
"It’s the old Heaven Punishnt Departnt. I’ve already said, this thing doesn’t hold much aning anymore."
"But still, no! Senior, it’s not like there’s no chance for you to recover, that Dragon Vein is now intertwined with you, as long as you..."
Before Ye Qingci finished speaking, Qiu Tianlin had already removed all his concealnts, fully revealing his situation to Ye Qingci.
At this mont, where was the Dragon Vein nurturing Qiu Tianlin, the only ridian connected to the Dragon Vein was rely transporting mana in a one-way manner towards the Dragon Vein.
"Senior, are you nurturing the Dragon Vein with yourself? You are not using the Dragon Vein to rebuild your body?"
Ye Qingci, being in the Earth Immortal Realm herself, instantly discerned Qiu Tianlin’s current state, showing no signs of recovery, with the Dragon Vein continuously absorbing mana, it clearly intended to completely drain Qiu Tianlin.
"It’s been long since my realm could no longer break through, let alone regenerate my physical body, that’s sothing that perhaps will happen in who knows how many years. Rather than wasting it on an old person like , it’s better to accelerate this unford Dragon Vein to grow rapidly."
"But even so, wouldn’t it take decades for the Dragon Vein to mature..."
"For an ordinary Earth Immortal, yes. But since I can reconstruct a body from the Earth Veins, naturally I have a unique way to nourish it. Give a year, no, half a year, and I’m confident this Dragon Vein will fully form."
"But..."
Ye Qingci opened her mouth again, seeing now that Qiu Tianlin’s condition clearly couldn’t sustain him for another half year.
"Don’t worry, I naturally have my own thods. So, Ye..."
The Heavenly Punishnt Order was pushed towards Ye Qingci once again, and looking at this gift that was as precious as life, Ye Qingci thought for a long ti but ultimately didn’t accept it.
"What? Even now, you’re still unwilling to accept this thing?"
"Not at all, senior. I just think, even if you want to entrust it, this shouldn’t be given to ."
Qiu Tianlin imdiately understood Ye Qingci’s aning, smiling, "You’re talking about the mber, he’s my student, naturally, I won’t shortchange him. This Dragon Vein was prepared for him, as for the rest..."
"How can one receive benefits without bearing any responsibility? If he’s to accept the favor you left behind, he should take over the entire burden of the Heaven Punishnt Departnt! Unless you’re willing to give the Dragon Vein as well."
Qiu Tianlin bitterly smiled at her words, "You’re already an Earth Immortal, what use do you have for the Dragon Vein."
"The Earth Immortal Realm has three stages. A single Dragon Vein would be enough for to ascend to the Ascend to Heaven Realm."
Ye Qingci spoke earnestly, yet Qiu Tianlin understood she was rely making an excuse.
But since Ye Qingci had co to this point, he no longer had any reason to continue pressing her.
"Fine, since you don’t want it, then let it be. I don’t believe I can’t find soone to give this good thing to."
With those words, Qiu Tianlin vanished directly in front of Ye Qingci, leaving the nurous words she still intended to say behind at Qilong Court.
Watching Qiu Tianlin appear and disappear alone, Ye Qingci shook her head helplessly.
She knew she couldn’t persuade these stubborn old n, just like she couldn’t persuade her own father.
"Su Chengyu, there are more people who are counting on you than you think, you better not really fail to return."
After softly talking to herself, Ye Qingci sank into her Sea of Consciousness.
Passing over the Spiritual Platform and through the Sea of Consciousness, she paused at the bottom layer of golden lake water before her Divine Sense sank once more, reaching the center of the entire Sea of Consciousness.
There, stood a purple lotus petal.
"Has everyone arrived in Southern Xinjiang?"
"Number Two, you’ve finally appeared. I’ve already reached Southern Xinjiang and t up with Number Five and Number Three. This ti, things are quite significant, are you coming or not? Even though Number Six and Number Seven have both lost contact, this ti even Number One has co, you surely won’t still not appear?"
Ye Qingci smiled slightly at Bei Tang Qian Xiao’s unreserved voice, frankly saying, "I will co, but I’ll be late. However..."
"I know, whether we can recognize you or not, still depends on our skills, right?"
"Yes, let’s see your abilities."
She looked forward to directly eting everyone, seeing who would be the first to recognize her.
Or perhaps, finding the only unconfird Number Seven first.
