Chapter 373: I’ll send you to see him now.
Qi Huang, being someone who had seen the world, quickly reacted. Although the matter was indeed beyond her expectations, it was definitely a great good thing.
“Little Jade Sister, what should I do?”
Liu Yingyue was a little flustered, after all, she didn’t know Qi Huang’s specific strength.
“This is a good thing! If your father’s soul really exists, it means you can still see him.”
Qi Huang smiled brightly.
“But I heard that ordinary people’s souls and spirits dissipate immediately after death. My father is also an ordinary person, so how can his soul still be here?”
Liu Yingyue said with red eyes. She was not only the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but also someone who had traveled all over the place, so she had naturally heard many rumors about this aspect.
Qi Huang pondered for a moment and then said, “You are right, because once a person dies, their soul loses the protection of their body and is immediately erased by the Will of Heaven! But don’t forget the Yin Energy on your uncle’s body. Yin Energy can nourish the soul, and perhaps that’s why he survived and was captured by someone.”
“Really?”
Liu Yingyue immediately stopped crying and started to smile. She naturally believed Qi Huang’s words one hundred percent, but then she became a little worried: “But how can we save him? We don’t know who the other party is, nor do we know their strength.”
“With me here, what are you afraid of? Let alone falling into the hands of a despicable turtle, even if he were taken by King Yan, I could snatch him back.”
Qi Huang confidently clenched her delicate little fists.
“But the problem is that he wrote clearly, asking only me to go alone. It concerns my father, and I dare not risk letting others follow.”
Liu Yingyue shook her head after a moment of thought.
“Don’t worry, I naturally have a way.”
Qi Huang extended her small hand, and a storage ring appeared in her fair and tender palm. She then said, “You should know the function of this storage ring. When I enter the storage ring, you take it to see that guy. Once the time is right, I will act immediately.”
“I heard that only cultivators above the Guiyi Realm can use this storage ring. Has your cultivation level reached this point?”
Liu Yingyue showed a look of disbelief.
Qi Huang shook her head helplessly. She acted low-key because she was afraid that the exposure of her strength would affect the Evergreen Convention a year later. She didn’t expect to always be looked down upon by this young lady.
‘Forget it, I’ll show her something remarkable.’
Qi Huang made up her mind. The five slender jade fingers of her right hand relaxed slightly, and the storage ring floated in the air. This was, of course, because she was supporting it with her Spiritual Sense.
“Sister Yue’er, you’ve traveled all over the place, so you should know how high a cultivation level is required for a cultivator to achieve Spiritual Sense control of objects, right?”
Qi Huang asked leisurely, feeling quite emotional. She remembered times when she first got caught by HongHua Sect, and it was very difficult for her Spiritual Sense to lift even a leaf. Now, after more than a year, she was completely different from before.
“You… has your cultivation really reached the Guiyi Realm? How old are you?”
Liu Yingyue said incredulously, her beautiful eyes fixed on the floating storage ring.
“I told you long ago, but you just didn’t believe me.”
Qi Huang complained.
“I’m sorry, Little Jade Sister, I shouldn’t have doubted you. Just as Elder Brother Huang Di said, I can completely trust you 100%.”
Liu Yingyue took a deep breath and then apologized solemnly.
“It’s good that you know you’re wrong. Don’t question this and that in the future, it makes me, your bodyguard, lose face. Just do as I say, and I promise you can personally avenge your father and return the way you came to the Imperial Capital.”
Qi Huang reminded her as such.
“Okay!”
Liu Yingyue nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.
“By the way, don’t tell anyone about my strength, lest we alarm the snake while it is still in its lair.”
Qi Huang reminded her again.
…
In the evening, Liu Yingyue made an excuse to go out, then returned to her room to change her clothes, and also put on a veil, as she was somewhat famous in the Imperial Capital.
“This is Cat’s Eye Tears. You’d better drop one into your eyes, so you can see your father.”
Qi Huang handed the Cat’s Eye Tears to Liu Yingyue to avoid trouble.
Liu Yingyue hesitated for a moment, thinking of Qi Huang’s words earlier, and she still obediently accepted it.
“Also, to avoid alarming the snake, if you encounter danger midway, I won’t be able to help. This is an Emperor-grade protective charm, which can resist most evil spirit intrusions.”
Qi Huang then handed Liu Yingyue an Emperor-grade protective charm.
“This…”
Liu Yingyue finally couldn’t hold back.
“If you really feel bad about it, then these things will be temporarily recorded on your account and paid back to me with your wages in the future.”
Qi Huang quickly stated.
“I certainly will.”
Liu Yingyue nodded firmly, then took off the Emperor-grade protective charm and pasted it close to her body. A warm feeling immediately permeated her entire body.
Seeing that everything was ready, Qi Huang entered the storage ring.
Liu Yingyue put on the storage ring and went out. She took a carriage and it took her a full hour to reach the North Gate, which shows how big the Imperial Capital is.
Liu Yingyue looked at the dark night, feeling very uneasy, but for her father, she resolutely walked out of the city gate.
“Miss, the city gate is about to be closed, where are you going?”
“Yes, it’s too dangerous outside at night. Aren’t you afraid of encountering evil spirits alone?”
“Is there anything that can’t be done during the day? Why do you have to go out at night.”
…
Several gate guards kindly reminded her.
Liu Yingyue didn’t know how to explain, so she simply left without looking back.
The guards looked at Liu Yingyue’s retreating figure, and their faces showed pity. They knew that going out of the city at this time would result in becoming a corpse before morning. If they weren’t on duty, they would have stopped her. After all, women are very scarce in this world, and it would be too much of a pity to die.
Liu Yingyue came to a secluded place. She first dripped two drops of Cat’s Eye Tears, then held a torch and headed towards the dilapidated temple from her memory.
Inside the storage ring, Qi Huang was extremely calm. Moreover, it was so close to the Imperial Capital, with abundant Yang Energy, how could she easily encounter wandering ghosts? The Emperor-grade protective charm she gave was just in case.
Liu Yingyue was trembling with fear all the way. The short distance of one or two li felt like a century, but fortunately, she safely reached the dilapidated temple.
Liu Yingyue looked around the main entrance of the temple and found no one inside, only the chirping of insects that was bothersome.
As Liu Yingyue was at a loss, a figure walked in from the entrance of the dilapidated temple.
Liu Yingyue quickly turned around. In the bright torchlight, the other party’s appearance came into view. It was a middle-aged man nearing sixty, with white hair and beard, but his complexion was exceptionally rosy. His spirit and energy showed that he was no ordinary person.
“It’s you?”
Liu Yingyue showed a surprised expression after seeing the person clearly.
Qi Huang, inside the storage ring, could clearly hear the movements outside and thought, “Is this lurking sinister person a acquaintance of Liu Yingyue?”
“It’s me, little niece Yue, surprised or not?”
The middle-aged man said in a playful tone.
“Thank you Immortal Elder, is what you said in the letter true?”
Liu Yingyue asked after calming herself down.
“Of course. Niece Yue is truly filial. A weak woman with no strength to even restrain a chicken dares to come alone to this deep mountain dilapidated temple in the middle of the night for her father.”
The Xie Xian Chang said in a teasing tone.
“Can I see my father?”
Liu Yingyue asked pleadingly.
“Alright, since you’ve asked, have you used the Cat’s Eye Tears yet?”
Xie Xian’s Spiritual Sense moved, and a phantom appeared beside him.
Liu Yingyue looked closely, and who else could it be if not her father Liu Zheng? She was immediately moved to tears: “Dad! It’s me! I’m Yue’er!”
“Yue’er! Yue’er! It’s really you!”
Liu Zheng said as if he had come back to life, then showed a tired smile: “Child, Dad didn’t expect to see you again after death.”
“Dad, I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
Liu Yingyue choked.
“Sorry for what? This has nothing to do with you!”
Liu Zheng quickly comforted her.
“Dad, what exactly is going on?”
Liu Yingyue asked, wiping away her tears.
“It’s like this, Dad was killed by evil spirits that night, but his soul inexplicably survived. So I wanted to seek help, but everyone around me was an ordinary person and couldn’t see me, so I was helpless for a while.”
Liu Zheng paused for a moment and then continued, “Just then, this Xie Xian elder came to mourn. I thought he was a very strong cultivator, and we had a good relationship, so I asked him for help. Who would have thought that this person would disregard our friendship and imprison me.”
“Xie Xian Elder, since you are my father’s old friend, you should have informed us promptly upon finding his soul. We would naturally be grateful. But you asked me to come alone to this deep mountain dilapidated temple. What exactly do you want?”
Liu Yingyue then asked.
“What do I want? Of course, I want you! Otherwise, why would I ask you to come alone and not mention any other requests?”
Xie Xian Elder said with a hint of greed in his eyes, “With your looks, as a man, if I can’t have a taste of you, wouldn’t it be a lifelong regret? If you want your father to be safe, you will obediently be my captive from now on.”
“You are truly shameless.”
Liu Yingyue cursed through gritted teeth.
“So you want to lay your hands on my daughter!”
Liu Zheng suddenly realized and frantically urged Liu Yingyue: “Child, hurry and go! Don’t worry about me. I’m already a dead person. What good can come of you saving me?”
“Alright, the temple door is wide open, you can come and go as you please, but I can guarantee that if you dare to take half a step out, this will definitely be the last time you see your father!”
Xie Xian Elder said with impunity.
Hearing this, Liu Yingyue naturally would not leave.
“Hurry up and go! I’m already a dead person, I’m not worth you doing this!”
Liu Zheng shouted excitedly.
“How can I leave? You are my father!”
Liu Yingyue replied indifferently.
“What a touching scene of fatherly love and filial piety. It even makes me miss my deceased old father. Unfortunately, I am a cultivator, and my lifespan is too long. I don’t know when I will see him.”
Xie Xian Elder mocked heartlessly.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ll send you to see him now!”
Qi Huang’s voice sounded at the right time, and she had already appeared beside Liu Yingyue.
