Chapter 195 - 195: Difficult to Achieve Greatness 1
Lingsu’s mouth curved up, feeling that this method was more reliable. Or rather, deep down, she just wanted to make this choice.
An idea was growing madly within her – she could choose not to kill Qin Changqing, hide her edge, sharpen her sword for ten years, and wait for the day to step onto the Endless Immortal Path!
If she didn’t kill Qin Changqing, she could continue cultivating with him, becoming his Taoist couple, loving each other for a lifetime, enjoying eternal love as an immortal couple… Unconsciously, Lingsu suddenly realized.
It seemed that she no longer wanted to kill Qin Changqing.
Lingsu was stunned.
“Strange, why would I have this idea!?”
Lingsu felt that something must have gone wrong with her, otherwise why would she have such thoughts?
She came to kill Qin Changqing!
“I’m here to kill Qin Changqing, I’m here to kill Qin Changqing…” Lingsu warned herself in her heart.
However, such a confession was somewhat weak, unlike her initial determination to assassinate Qin Changqing. Now, she was thinking more about living a peaceful life like this.
“Heart Devil? I must be plagued by the Heart Devil, but when did it start…” Lingsu was somewhat baffled.
Logically speaking, if she had a Heart Devil, she should be aware of it.
Could it be that she was just being overly suspicious?
“Let’s see how it goes. If it really doesn’t work, I’ll have to kill Qin Changqing first and then run away immediately.”
After sorting out her thoughts, Lingsu was no longer anxious and began to care for the flowers and plants peacefully.
Meanwhile, in the Dayan Dynasty.
After the end of the Tianti Road, Nangong Fu couldn’t wait to return to the Sect.
Although the matter of Nangong Aotian being crippled was important, he had more important discoveries to report to the ancestors in the imperial mausoleum compared to a mere Third Prince.
“Nangong Fu, are you telling the truth?”
In the Dayan Treasure Hall, the figure seated on the throne raised its momentum, “The person with the Ziwei destiny is actually from the Lingxiao Sect? And a disciple of MO Jiuzhou?”
“The matter is absolutely true. This time, during the Tianti Road, Qin Changqing used his Tier 6 Golden Elixir cultivation to dominate everyone, even breaking through to the Tier 9 Golden Elixir later on with the help of Tianti Road’s will. He fought with a mysterious woman, and eventually, he won with the help of the array formation.”
“Also, regarding this woman, I think she might be related to the Immortal
Gate.”
Nangong Fu recounted what happened on the Tianti Road in detail.
Dayan Emperor, Nangong Wentian frowned, “I never thought that the person
I’ve been trying to find has always been under my watch.”
He also knew about the events that occurred back in Yinxu Prefecture back then, the City Lord’s murder and the struggle between the two major forces.
Even Marshal Dongchi had asked him whether they should fight with the Lingxiao Sect in Yinxu Prefecture, but at that time, considering that the Tianti Road was approaching, Nangong Wentian had denied the request.
If only he had known, perhaps someone should have been sent to kill that Qin Changqing at that time!
“Where is that woman now?” “Your Majesty, she was taken back to the Lingxiao Sect by Mu Taixu.” “What about Qin Changqing?
“I don’t know for now. An anomaly occurred at the end of the Tianti Road. I suspect that the Immortal Gate may have done something, but in the end, Qin Changqing was taken away by a mysterious figure, and his whereabouts are still unknown.”
“Humph! Most likely, he’s within the Lingxiao Sect.” Nangong Wentian said coldly, “It’s either MO Jiuzhou or someone from the Taiyi Academy. They really don’t know their place, thinking they can fight the Immortal Gate as they are.”
“The problem is, we can’t determine Qin Changqing’s situation. Should we ask the ancestor for instructions and have them contact the Immortal Gate?”
“We don’t need to contact them. With the Immortal Gate’s abilities, they’ve probably known about it for a long time.” Nangong Wentian dismissed the suggestion, “Instead of this, our top priority is to first confirm Qin Changqing’s situation, then try to establish contact with the woman named Lingsu…
Nangong Fu, use our connections within the Lingxiao Sect and have him…”
Before he could finish, Nangong Wentian reached into the void, and there was a communication talisman in his hand.
After inspecting the information inside, his expression paused for a moment before he burst into laughter, “Very interesting! This is so interesting!” Nangong Fu asked in confusion, “Why is Your Majesty laughing?”
“Qin Changqing has returned to the Lingxiao Sect and married Lingsu yesterday.’ ???
Nangong Fu was utterly bewildered.
The first part of the conversation was understandable, but what did the latter part mean?
Qin Changqing marrying Lingsu? How do these two things relate?!
Weren’t these two supposed to be mortal enemies?
“Hold on.” Nangong Fu suddenly realized, “That’s right. Qin Changqing asked Lingsu on Tianti Road if she had a Taoist couple. And that kid is naturally lascivious, with many wives and concubines; it’s not difficult to imagine him doing such absurd things.”
Nangong Wentian smiled faintly, “People like this are the easiest to deal with. Mo Jiuzhou was like this back then, and I didn’t expect his disciple to be the same. Those who cultivate but are trapped by emotions can hardly achieve greatness.”
“Let’s hear it.”
Nangong Fu pondered for a moment and said, “Sixth Princess.”
Nangong Wentian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
He naturally understood what Nangong Fu meant.
The Sixth Princess was Nangong Xue. Now that she was Qin Changqing’s junior sister, it was a great opportunity for the Dayan Dynasty.
However…
Nangong Wentian said lightly, “Let’s put this plan aside for now. Find a way to inform Lingsu and have her find an opportunity to kill Qin Changqing. We will help her escape.”
Nangong Fu’s eyes flickered slightly, nodding, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
A while later, Nangong Fu left the Dayan Treasure Hall.
“Your Majesty, those who achieve great things do not hold onto trifles. Besides, the Sixth Princess herself has a demon bloodline and can never be accepted by the royal family. Why should you waste your kindness on her?”
When the Third Prince was abolished, Nangong Wentian hardly had much reaction.
On the contrary, when it came to Nangong Xue, he implicitly revealed a protective attitude.
Nangong Fu naturally knew some reasons, but for him, the interests of the
Dayan Dynasty were above everything else.
“I need to inform the ancestor about this matter.’
After the end of Tianti Road, most forces within Tianchuan State regarded it as a wonderful show, but keen observers could still discern the undercurrent beneath the apparent calm.
First, the Dayan Dynasty intensified its attack on the Lingxiao Sect. The new City Lord took office in Yinxu Prefecture, openly and secretly battling against the Qin family. Secondly, the fierce battle between the strong of Taiyi Academy and the mysterious figure ended with an unknown result.
Finally, as the Immortal Ascension Conference approached, the Wanjian Pavilion took the initiative to propose the promotion of the Lingxiao Sect but was quickly met by opposition from numerous sects.
If one were to investigate carefully, one could find an inseparable relationship between these sects and the Dayan Dynasty.
The struggle between the two great forces seems to have intensified even before the real start of the Immortal Ascension Conference.
At the same time…
Inside the Taixuan Peak of the Lingxiao Sect…
Lingsu held a message in her hand and wore a complex expression.
“I didn’t expect the Dayan Dynasty to have hidden agents here, but it was also mentioned by the Holy Land that the few old men in the dynasty are not to be
underestimated. No, I have to warn in Changing to be careful of them…
Huh?”
Lingsu paused for a while before she suddenly noticed a problem with her thoughts.
Why would she warn Qin Changqing?
Shouldn’t she follow the Dayan Dynasty’s plan, kill Qin Changqing, and then escape?
“I think… I’m falling in love with Qin Changqing.” Lingsu said with disbelief, and then, she suddenly felt that nothing was wrong, “Now that I’m progressing much faster in my cultivation than before, I don’t need to live in fear and take risks to do those things, do I?”
“Qin Changqing treats me sincerely, has a good character, and I have been very happy in the month we’ve been a Taoist couple. Why should I betray him?” Yes, with such a good life now, what could be unsatisfying?
With these thoughts in mind, Lingsu’s gaze grew more determined. She turned and walked out of the room..
