hapter 1007: Suspicion
Suspicion . . .
Cha Eun Xiao earnestly addressed the lady, stating, "Lady, please. Cha Eun Xiao will disclose all the information within his knowledge."
In response to his assurance, Xuan Bing had been on the verge of posing a question. However, upon further reflection, she realized that articulating the inquiry proved to be more challenging than she had anticipated. This question had lingered in her heart for quite so ti, dating back to when she had regained her mories. Yet, it had remained a nebulous notion rather than a well-defined inquiry.
Nonetheless, with the arrival of Han Bingxue, the question began to crystallize. She pondered for a mont on how best to phrase it and then inquired, "I have a question... I believe I know your origins. You hail from the Land of Han-Yang, serving as the monarch of Ling-Bao Hall. Your na is not Cha Jun. Instead, you are Cha Eun Xiao, the son of Cha Nantian, the Great Northern General of the Kingdom of Chen. Am I correct?"
As she spoke, her heart raced, anxious for his confirmation.
"Yes," Cha Eun Xiao responded calmly. "However, since you've been so forthright, I have a question of my own. How did you co by this information? Bing Xinyue and Wenren Chuchu have so knowledge about , but not to this extent. I would appreciate an answer."
Xuan Bing replied, "The Misty Cloud Palace has more than just two ladies. You are not the only one they know about."
As she said this, she blushed, truthfully disclosing that the other two ladies had not shared information about Cha Eun Xiao with her.
"I understand your point," Cha Eun Xiao replied, his disappointnt evident. [So, she's not Bing'er?]
Speaking of his na, Xuan Bing remarked, "Your na reminds of an old friend, Cha Eun Xiao."
This surprised Cha Eun Xiao, and he quickly interjected, "I am here."
He sensed that she was about to bring up Xiao Monarch and wanted to preemptively address it.
Xuan Bing gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you Cha Eun Xiao, the young Lord Cha, or the other Cha Eun Xiao, Xiao Monarch?"
Cha Eun Xiao responded, "I don't quite follow. I've heard of a prominent cultivator who shared my na in the Qing-Yun Realm, but he passed away long before. At that ti, I was in the Land of Han-Yang, and I have no connection to him. The only thing we have in common is our na."
Xuan Bing flatly continued, "Is that so? Cha Eun Xiao was afflicted by a deadly ailnt during his childhood. His background appears shrouded in mystery. He started as a foolish, frivolous young lord who indulged in bullying. But after recovering from poisoning, his entire personality transford. He evolved into a prodigious talent excelling in both martial arts and literature. He made nurous friends and beca a nesis to the House of Chaotic Storms. His cultivation advanced rapidly, and even in his youth, he ascended to higher realms."
Xuan Bing inquired, "Do you believe this is a plausible account of his life?"
Cha Eun Xiao smiled and replied, "The return of a prodigal son is always admirable. Can I not be one? Why not?"
Xuan Bing sternly stated, "I simply find it hard to believe. It's an incredible transformation. How can one change so dramatically?"
Cha Eun Xiao retorted, "You worry excessively."
Xuan Bing furrowed her brows and said, "You accuse of worrying too much, and perhaps I do. Nevertheless, I feel a deep sorrow for my old friend Cha Eun Xiao, who passed away at such a young age."
Cha Eun Xiao pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Old friend?"
He knew all too well that he had never t this lady in his previous life, let alone been friends with her. She was clearly fabricating the notion of being an "old friend."
[She's claiming I was her old friend. Is she attempting to deceive ?]
Xuan Bing's eyes sparkled with interest as she remarked, "He has been gone for a long ti. There's no point in dwelling on him. I tend to worry excessively. Please forgive , young Brother Cha."
After this, she refrained from delving into the topic further, leaving Cha Eun Xiao sowhat perplexed. [Why did she readily accept my denial? Could she be planning sothing else?]
[All I did was offer a mild denial, and she simply dropped the matter.]
Xuan Bing fell silent, returning to her tent, and Cha Eun Xiao was left alone, gazing at the starry night sky. He couldn't help but feel a sense of bewildernt.
[What's happening here?]
[What's the explanation?]
Despite his confusion, Cha Eun Xiao didn't waste his ti rely pondering. He remained seated, continuously absorbing the spiritual qi. The night progressed in solemn quietude.
He experinted with a different approach than before, seeking a location where the spiritual qi could be absorbed more rapidly than in other places. Although he faced nurous failures, Xuan Bing's warnings hadn't deterred him, as he firmly believed that there was no spiritual qi that couldn't be absorbed.
As the cold dawn wind rustled through, he felt a slight chill, and when he was about to rise, he decided to remain seated, tilting his head, palms, and soles toward the sky.
In that mont, he unexpectedly sensed an imnse surge of purple qi emanating from the east, preceding the sunrise. This purple qi seed to flow down from a colossal rupture in the sky, blanketing the entire Oracle District in its embrace.
Cha Eun Xiao avidly absorbed the seemingly boundless purple qi, as if he were desperately thirsty. He noticed that the volu of purple qi in the morning's eastward surge far surpassed that of any previous morning. What set this occurrence apart was that the purple qi appeared to have a specific destination: the Oracle District.
If there were ten portions of purple qi in the world, it now seed that ninety percent of it had concentrated within the Oracle District!
Cha Eun Xiao continued to draw in the purple qi, experiencing a noticeable expansion of his dantian as he reveled in it. However, after so ti, the purple qi beca increasingly difficult to absorb. It began to resist his efforts an hour into his ditation, transitioning from a freely absorbable form to becoming an integral part of the local atmosphere. The spiritual qi in the air had grown exceptionally vibrant, rendering it impossible for him to extract any more spiritual qi.
"What's happening here? This was supposed to be a trendous opportunity! Has it vanished into thin air?" Cha Eun Xiao exclaid, standing up and surveying the land beneath his feet with a mixture of frustration and confusion.
It appeared that the purple qi itself was not the issue; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to absorb it for the first hour. The likely culprit was the very ground beneath him.
