Chapter 0.7 – Seen Through at a Glance
“A’yuan’s letter said that my master has the Fate-Changing Soul Seal within me? Not…”
“Otherwise, it would be Xinting, wouldn’t it?”
“Cough.” Qin Gou’s lips twitched.
“Master, you don’t need to say anything more. Because we all understand, whether you appear incredulous now or directly deny the truth of this matter, it must be due to the domineering power of the Fate-Changing Soul Art twisting your will! Everything will only be revealed after Xinting truly tries!”
“It’s done, my daughter is definitely a genius.”
Qin Gou immediately felt deeply touched and lamented. The summary of this matter is that A’yuan truly wishes to help Zhao Xinting of this world break through the Fate-Changing Soul Art. But if the truth were told directly, it would be very likely that Little Zhao, whose Fate-Changing Seal was more deeply rooted, would make Qin Gou spend a lot of time persuading her.
But if he took a roundabout way like this, making Zhao Xinting believe that the person who urgently needed help was not herself, but Qin Gou, then no one would doubt her and she would do it without hesitation.
At the same time, it also made Qin Gou deeply feel that Xinting’s loyal heart had already shown such an ardent posture of sacrificing herself for righteousness. If he were to be indecisive due to some formalities, it would be too unseemly, like flowing water without feeling.
“Alright Xinting, I understand what you mean, Master!” As he spoke, Qin Gou nodded solemnly and pointed to the luxurious throne of the Purple Extreme Demon in the main hall, saying, “Xinting, sit on it.”
“What? Master, do you really understand?” Zhao Xinting asked, completely bewildered.
“Of course, listen to Master first.” Qin Gou smiled kindly.
“But, why is this so?” Although Zhao Xinting had doubts, she did as instructed, turned around, and walked towards the throne.
“To preemptively counteract.”
“Counteract whom?”
Qin Gou chuckled and walked closer. The previous predicament of being cornered by his eldest disciple was vividly remembered. He clearly could not let the same thing happen again.
And just as Zhao Xinting sat back firmly on her throne as Qin Gou requested.
“Master, then next…”
In a flash, before Little Zhao could finish speaking, and without any time to react, Qin Gou had already placed his hands precisely on the small hands Zhao Xinting was gently resting on the armrests. He then lowered his head and gave her a kiss.
“Mmm…”
Xinting, raising her soft and beautiful face, couldn’t help but widen her eyes, her face flushed with burning shyness. She didn’t even know how to think. This was partly due to Qin Gou’s surprise attack, and at the same time, countless images began to appear in her mind, causing her heart to surge like waves.
What neither of them realized at this moment was that regardless of Qin Gou’s assertive actions to take the initiative, or Little Zhao’s surprised and helpless appearance due to her momentary daze and stark contrast…
This scene of the Purple Extreme Demon on his throne, unable to move and passively enduring, was frozen as if it were a priceless ancient painting with a profound story, perfect and full of lingering charm.
At the same time.
Yan Qiaoyun, who had not yet had time to leave the main hall, blushed and subconsciously covered the eyes of the little girl Cheng’er beside her. Then, she felt darkness before her own eyes.
“Qiao’er, you shouldn’t look either.”
Qiu Qianyue also covered Qiao’er’s eyes, and then her own eyes seemed to be full of effort, wide and round like copper bells.
“Then why can Aunt Qiu look?”
“This nun has Buddha in her heart and a firm belief. This scene is merely an illusion in my eyes. If the heart does not move, the person does not act rashly. If one does not move, there is no harm.”
“I don’t understand.”
“This Female Hero is a wicked old man. I can take even more exciting things. What do I care about this?”
“Oh!”
At this moment, everything was accomplished. Qin Gou began to gently shake Zhao Xinting’s shoulders, wanting to bring her back to her senses.
“Xinting?”
“Master, so, so…”
Zhao Xinting’s eyes seemed to have become even brighter. Looking into Qin Gou’s eyes, her voice was particularly moved: “How can Xinting be so fortunate to have Master always indulge my unreasonable behavior with such an astonishing move?”
“Isn’t it because I was happy to do so myself? It’s only because we are both a bit of a mess that we hit it off! Besides, it’s all in the past.” Qin Gou smiled sincerely with understanding.
“Master, Eldest Senior Brother, did it succeed?”
Qiu Qianyue and Yan Qiaoyun also came forward immediately.
“Of course.” Qin Gou nodded and smiled.
“However,” the elder brother suddenly thought, “there are still some important matters in the sect that require my personal attention! It won’t take long. I’ll go and come back.” As he spoke, Zhao Xinting stood up, cupped her fists in a salute, a hint of shyness on her pretty face, and deliberately gave Qin Gou a trusting glance.
Seeing this, Old Qin immediately nodded with great tacit understanding. Looking at the retreating figure of Little Zhao, he naturally understood her meaning, which was not to inform Debt Girl and the others about this matter for now. Qin Gou certainly had no objection. As for Xinting’s excuse to leave temporarily, perhaps she could no longer bear to wait and wanted to find a secluded place to experience herself properly without the influence of the Fate-Changing Seal.
The duration of one incense stick burning later.
Qin Gou stood alone outside the main hall, observing some changes in Senluo Mountain. Suddenly, he heard a familiar and pleasant voice.
“Master!”
“Qishuang?”
Her clear eyes flowing, wearing a black dress that swayed, the immortal and jade-like demeanor of the Great Palace Lord Ye immediately quickened her pace, arriving through the air. But as soon as she appeared before Qin Gou, a look of incredulous shock suddenly bloomed on her pure and beautiful face.
“Little Shuang’er, what’s that expression?” Qin Gou asked with a slight, uncomprehending chuckle.
“Master…”
Ye Qishuang blinked her surprised beautiful eyes, examining Qin Gou from head to toe, then spoke in a gentle and admiring tone: “To be able to come from A’yuan’s world, Master, you must have put in a lot of effort, right?”
Indeed, Qin Gou had exhausted all his efforts to gather enough Merit points as quickly as possible. However… how did Little Shuang’er see at a glance that he had come from A’yuan?
He clearly hadn’t had time to produce A’yuan’s personal letter yet. Could it be that Debt Girl had already explained everything during the Spirit Power Transmission? But what was with Little Shuang’er’s shocked expression just now, as if she had discovered some great secret?
“How did Little Shuang’er know so quickly that Master came from A’yuan’s side?” After much thought, Qin Gou decided it was better to ask Qishuang directly.
“It’s because, in today’s world, only Qishuang can see this.”
Ye Qishuang hesitated for a moment, then lightly blinked her eyes. Her pretty face blushed even more, and she shyly said in a very low voice, carefully: “There is the aura of Qishuang’s ‘Heart Monkey Qitian Body’ blessing on you, but Master and I… have never been Dao Companions through Dual Cultivation!”
