Chapter 23 Brothers, Beloved Family and Friends!
Jiang Yixi's beautiful eyes widened instantly. "Why don't you just go and steal it!"
"That's incorrect." Li Qingyi's expression remained unchanged, but her tone carried a hint of sorrow.
"Han Feiyu is my brother, my dearest friend and family! The price is naturally different for him."
He immediately switched to deception mode:
"If you think about it carefully, young lady, if you can completely resolve this matter and deal with that unfaithful man, you will have a clear understanding of the Dao from now on."
Isn't the path of cultivation a smooth one? These ten spirit stones, for the sake of achieving enlightenment in a single thought—what a bargain!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yixi's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and a hint of wavering flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Li Qingyi immediately pressed her advantage, her voice seductive:
"Furthermore, young lady, you might as well imagine that Han Feiyu will be like a fish on a chopping board, at your mercy to be molded and shaped."
Whether to beat or scold, tie or bind, it's all up to the girl's whim! Isn't this kind of swift and satisfying revenge delightful?
Jiang Yixi was clearly moved by the beautiful scene described by Li Qingyi. She stroked the wine glass in her hand, bit her lower lip lightly, and was very conflicted.
Li Qingyi muttered to herself:
"Still not taking the bait? These ten spirit stones are so hard to swindle... no, so hard to earn."
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Li Qingyi decided to use her trump card.
He sighed heavily, a look of extreme difficulty on his face, and shook his head, saying:
"Sigh... Never mind, there are some things I didn't want to say, but I just couldn't bear to see the young lady continue to be kept in the dark and fooled..."
Jiang Yixi froze, abruptly raising her head and staring sharply at Li Qingyi:
What do you mean by that?
Li Qingyi feigned a struggle, lowering her voice, "Han Feiyu... he actually has homosexual tendencies!"
"What?!" Jiang Yixi was struck dumb, her eyes widening instantly, her face filled with disbelief. "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"If not," Li Qingyi spread her hands, her tone tinged with regret:
"Tell me, faced with such stunning beauty as you, what normal man could remain unmoved? Why would he repeatedly try to avoid you?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yixi fell silent.
She recalled how Han Feiyu usually walked arm in arm with other male disciples, chatting and laughing.
Considering his attitude of avoiding me like the plague... it seems... not entirely impossible?
Li Qingyi racked her brains for these ten spirit stones, even risking her brother's innocence.
"Brother Han, I'm sorry, I'm really short of money, I have no other choice..."
He silently apologized in his heart.
"If there is a future, I, Li, will certainly make it up to you properly."
He felt uneasy if he didn't conduct a simulation as soon as possible to deal with potential crises, even if it meant sacrificing his own friends.
Han Feiyu will have to make do for now.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yixi suddenly raised her head, her eyes already brimming with tears of humiliation:
"Why...why would he deceive me like this!?"
Li Qingyi timely showed a look of sympathy and shook her head:
"The reason for this, I do not know either..."
"That's enough!"
Jiang Yixi took out ten spirit stones and slammed them on the table, which instantly shattered into pieces.
"Bring Han Feiyu here!"
Li Qingyi looked at the spirit stones scattered on the ground, then at the murderous Jiang Yixi, and suddenly gasped.
In that instant, he felt like he had... gone a little too far.
but……
come all come...
He bent down, quickly picked up all the spirit stones, stuffed them into his pocket, then cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Jiang Yixi, who was on the verge of exploding with rage, and said calmly:
"Young lady, await good news."
Based on the direction Han Feiyu fled and his understanding of his character, Li Qingyi could roughly guess where he was at this moment.
Without much delay, he immediately headed in that direction.
……
Under the blazing sun, the mountains and forests are lush with vegetation, and birds are chirping.
Han Feiyu stood under a huge rock, staring blankly at the patterns on the rock, his face showing a hint of loneliness and confusion.
Suddenly, familiar footsteps sounded behind me.
Han Feiyu didn't turn around, but simply called out softly:
"Brother Qin..."
"The dead are gone, the living should live on." Li Qingyi stopped beside him.
"I know."
"What exactly is going on between you and that Jiang Yixi?"
"It's a long story..."
"Then let's make it short."
Han Feiyu sighed, her tone filled with regret and guilt:
"It's just that... I used to be a jerk. I saw that she was bright and cute and had a simple personality, so I couldn't help but go up and tease her a few times."
Who would have thought... she was so easily fooled...
After hearing this, Li Qingyi commented expressionlessly, "Then you really are a scoundrel."
"Alas... Brother Qin, I really didn't expect things to develop to this point."
I had no romantic feelings for her, but when the sect leader proposed to me, I panicked immediately.
"So what are your plans now?" Li Qingyi asked.
"I don't know either, I'll just stay hidden for now. Maybe... with time, she'll slowly forget about me."
Li Qingyi nodded, the last trace of guilt in her heart instantly vanishing, feeling that Han Feiyu had only himself to blame.
"Hearing you say that makes me feel much more at ease. You really need to repay what you owe them."
"Brother Qin, what are you saying..." Han Feiyu looked confused, but before he could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by Li Qingyi.
His vision went black, his consciousness quickly faded, and his body went limp and he collapsed.
Li Qingyi caught him and couldn't help but sigh, "I'm such a philanthropist for helping others and resolving grudges."
……
In her hazy state of consciousness, Han Feiyu felt her body swaying, as if she were being suspended in mid-air by something.
He struggled desperately, and his consciousness gradually returned. When he finally managed to open his eyes and see his surroundings, he was terrified.
His limbs were tightly bound by countless tough, transparent threads, hanging in mid-air in a "T" shape.
Several yellow talismans were pasted on his body, their bright runes completely sealing off his magical power.
Looking up, there was a silence note pasted on the roof beam, isolating it from both inside and outside noise.
In front of him, Jiang Yixi had a frosty expression, toying with a pair of gleaming scissors in her hand, her eyes coldly scrutinizing him from head to toe.
In that instant, Han Feiyu understood everything!
He swallowed hard, and with all his might, let out a roar of grief and indignation:
"Qin Feng! I considered you a brother! Why did you do this to me?!"
……
Having already safely returned to her room, Li Qingyi naturally couldn't hear this tearful accusation.
Looking at the spirit stone in his hand, he felt that he had done a great deed and felt extremely happy.
"It seems that spirit stones aren't so hard to earn after all."
"Deep Blue! Simulate it for me!"
[Simulation begins...]
You're sitting in your room, finding nothing to do, so you make a decision.
1. Draw talismans to increase the means of fighting enemies and protecting oneself.
Second, cultivate with a calm mind, consolidate your cultivation, and strive to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining as soon as possible.
3. I devoted myself to studying and attempting to practice "The True Explanation of Swordsmanship".
Li Qingyi licked her lips, her eyes shining brightly.
"I choose three!"
Li Qingyi did not hesitate at all, after all, this was part of his plan.
[You take out "The True Explanation of Swordsmanship" from your storage bag. Looking at this book, which is said to contain the culmination of a Sword Master's life's work, a sense of dread washes over you.]
Finally, you steeled your resolve, closed your eyes, and, following the instructions in the cultivation technique, began to guide your spiritual energy, attempting to condense your first wisp of invisible sword energy.
Intense pain instantly swept through your body; your screams were incessant. Your recent meditative state was abruptly shattered by this extreme agony.
So you decided...
1. Give up cultivation.
II. Continue your practice.
Looking at her simulated miserable state, Li Qingyi couldn't help but wipe away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead.
"It really looks painful!"
The screams of his own agonizing screams echoed in his ears during the simulation.
Overwhelmed with grief, Li Qingyi let out a final, long cry:
"Continue your training!"
You took several deep breaths, forcibly suppressing your slightly trembling body, and a defiant flame gradually ignited in your eyes.
"If a Golden Core True Monarch can cultivate it, why can't I, Li Qingyi?!" You roared to the sky, trying to dispel the fear in your heart.
A fierce, indomitable spirit welled up from the depths of your heart, and you continued your practice of "The True Explanation of Swordsmanship."
Once... twice... three times...
[You become more resilient with each setback! Every time you are forcibly interrupted by excruciating pain, you only need to pause briefly to adjust your breathing before immediately entering a meditative state again and trying once more.]
[Your screams of agony continued unabated. These past few days, Qin Xiyue has come occasionally, and she always hears your suppressed cries of pain.]
Seeing how much you're enjoying yourself, a certain thought in her mind became even more resolute.
For seven consecutive days, you worked tirelessly, without sleep, cultivating with frenzied intensity, your body already covered in blood. But you paid no heed; your eyes, instead, shone even brighter.
Even after being interrupted by pain once again, a faint glimmer of hope arose in your heart.
[You find yourself seemingly adapting. Heaven rewards the diligent; through your relentless efforts, you have finally mastered the first level of "Comprehensive Explanation of Swordsmanship," achieving a body as sturdy as a sword.]
At this moment, invisible sword energy swirls around you, emitting a faint ringing sound.
Overwhelmed with joy, you wept tears of happiness and roared to the heavens, "Hahahaha... I've succeeded! I've succeeded!!"
[With a slight thought, a condensed sword aura is released, silently slicing away at the corner of the table, smoothly slicing off a corner with unparalleled sharpness.]
Just then, you couldn't help but cough up a mouthful of blood. You hurriedly examined your body and discovered that seven days of reckless and frenzied cultivation had already left your body in a state of utter ruin...
You looked bitter and murmured, "If only I had... rested for a few more days..."
Suddenly everything goes black, and your consciousness sinks into darkness...
[You're dead. Rewards are being calculated...]
