Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

In this situation, Qin Yi knew that even she will not agree to leave.

After all, this is a girl who “can’t even be a princess” and says “it is my responsibility to protect the kingdom and the people”.

At this point… her “responsibility” outweighs her “dream”, maybe even outweighs her “love” for me?

Such a thought flashed through Qin Yi’s mind, but he wasn’t entangled with it. He never felt that which matter was more important. It was as boring as who to save first when one’s mother or wife fell into the water. Everything should be looked at in detail. When her family and country were in trouble, it was a matter of course that responsibility came first.

In fact, this sense of responsibility was one of the reasons why he liked Li Qingjun, and he should support her…

But the current situation was unusual. He found that if this continued, Li Qingjun might be buried with South Li Kingdom. This was not a question of whether to support or not. He would not sit back and watch this happen.

He was not Huang Rong, nor could he learn from Huang Rong.

Just as he was distracted, he found that Li Qingjun had fallen asleep on the stone table exhaustedly. Qin Yi looked at the sky, and the sun had just set. She is really exhausted…

He sighed, carried Li Qingjun to the bed silently, and covered the quilt.

Standing by the window and looking at the sunset from a distance, Qin Yi suddenly communicated with his mind, “Liu Su…”

“Huh?” Liu Su actually didn’t want to bother him, changing from Stick Stick to Liu Su usually wouldn’t be any good thing.

“I want to take her away directly. South Li Kingdom is doomed.”

“Aren’t you afraid that she will wake up and make a fuss with you, or even hate you?”

“I’d rather she hate me than watch her die.”

Liu Su praised, “Very good.”

Qin Yi shook his head, “I don’t think this is very good. It’s just that I seem to have only one choice.”

“The very good I meant is that you have finally made up your mind. Maybe you didn’t realize it yourself. You have always acted passively. When things happen, you just follow along. This is the first time you have taken the initiative. It’s good to make a difficult decision, whether it’s right or wrong.” Liu Su laughed, “It seems that you have indeed grown up during this trip to South Li Kingdom.”

“……Maybe.”

Liu Su continued, “Speaking of which, do you not look forward to the reply of Ming He’s sect?”

“I still do. I just discuss it with you first and get ready. If Ming He’s sect says that there is no solution, I should act.”

Before he finished, there was a knock on the door. Ming He’s voice sounded, “Is tao friend here?”

Before Qin Yi could reply, Li Qingjun on the bed was woken up by the knock on the door first. Hearing Ming He’s voice, she looked a little strange. She glanced at Qin Yi’s face and blinked twice.

Qin Yi was almost sweating, “I’m not, I’m not, don’t guess…”

“I got a reply from my sect.” Ming He said from outside the door.

Qin swallowed the remaining words and rushed to open the door, “How is it?”

Ming He glanced at Li Qingjun who was on the bed, then she seemed to understand why Qin Yi took so long to open the door. She lightly persuaded him, “Tao friend is in the period of fledgling, you should fortify your essence to cultivate your soul. If tao friend indulges yourself in sex, even if you learn the mystic technique of combining yin and yang, your achievements may be limited in the future. This is just a reminder, so don’t be offended.”

My pretty nun, you think you are reminding your tao friend, but in Qingjun’s ears, it is the mistress sowing discord between us. Qin Yi almost cried out. He hurriedly said, “I think the reply from your sect is more important…”

“No one in my sect can dispel this curse. After all, the school we learn is different.” Ming He continued without stopping, “But my master recognized the origin of this curse. He claims that he had seen it when he was traveling before. ”

Qin Yi was overjoyed, “Where is it?”

Li Qingjun could also understand what Ming He was talking about, so she didn’t care about guessing about their relationship and jumped out of bed, “Thank you sister for your help. Qingjun is very grateful.”

Sister? Ming He glanced at her inexplicably, ignored her, and turned to Qin Yi, “It’s in the Transverse Rift Valley.”

Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment as if he had swallowed a rotten duck egg, “Is it the rumored rift that even birds can’t fly through?”

Ming He said lightly, “Exactly.”

Li Qingjun said anxiously, “Our kingdom has organized many expeditions to the Rift Valley, but none of them returned! That’s a land of death!”

Ming He didn’t answer, but she took out a map, “My master marked the approximate location. Note that the red area in the picture is an absolute danger zone. Even my master dares not trespass. The dangers of other areas of different colors vary—but for you, no matter where you go, you will die, so in fact, you can paint all these areas red. You can try to walk only the white are, but it will be a narrow escape for you too.”

Qin Yi widened his eyes to look for the white area on the drawing. After searching for a long time, he found a small dot the size of a grain of rice on the drawing that was several feet square.

Qin Yi raised his head and stared blankly at Ming He.

Ming He nodded.

Qin Yi, “…”

Ming He said, “My master said that this place not only has the stele that is carved with this set of voodoo art, which Dong Huazi learned the beastkin refining array from, but there is also the beastkin pellet of the true great beastkin. If one can refine it, it must have a magical effect on breaking the curse.”

If this is the case, it is not an illusory hit and miss, but a solution can indeed be found there. Qin Yi looked at the small white dot area, hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively, “Tao friend… can you help?”

Ming He said faintly, “I have intervened too much in the power struggle of the South Li Kingdom, so I have been reprimanded by my sect.”

The implication was that she absolutely refused to go.

“I’ll go!” Li Qingjun reached out to get the map.

Her wrist was quickly pressed by Qin Yi. She turned her head and saw Qin Yi smiling, “Of course it’s me who is going. You have to participate in politics, how can you leave without permission? At the very least, I cultivate in both taoism and martial arts, and I’m Innate Stage, all Is there a second person in South Li Kingdom who is more suitable than me?”

Liu Su really wanted to say, did you forget that there is Ye Ling… Then think about it, that guy has no loyalty, why would he go to this dangerous place for South Li Kingdom? The probability of never returning is as high as 99%, really unreliable.

Li Qingjun looked at Qin Yi in a daze, “You… you will die, and it has nothing to do with you…”

“How could it have nothing to do with me?” Qin Yi asked, “Aren’t you my fiancee?”

Li Qingjun looked at him for a long time before softly saying, “Yes.”

Qin Yi said again, “I didn’t go for nothing. I have 1 condition.”

Li Qingjun bowed her head slightly, “Even if you don’t go, I won’t object to the matter between you and sister Ming He…”

“?” Ming He’s eyes widened.

Qin Yi almost vomited blood. Before this matter got out of control, he continued, “My only condition is that if I can’t come back or if I can’t change anything in time…then you are not allowed to die in the South Li Kingdom. You will leave when it’s the time.”

Li Qingjun’s heart skipped a beat.

Qin Yi said word by word, “Qin Yi is very selfish and has no feelings for family and country. Whether it is refining pills or taking risks, it is never for the South Li Kingdom, but for you.”

Li Qingjun swallowed. Her heart was beating fast. Even when she was kissed by him for the first time, she didn’t feel like her heart was completely out of control like now. She seemed to have thousands of words choked in his throat, but she couldn’t say a word now. 𝚋𝚎ｄｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.ｎ𝚎𝚝

After a long time, she choked up slightly, “I… don’t agree.”

“Huh?“

“This condition needs to be changed. If you can come back, I promise to accompany you to go far away no matter what the situation is. From then on, I will not be the people of the South Li Kingdom, but only Qin Yi’s wife.” Li Qingjun looked up into his eyes, “But if you can’t come back … You and I set a date, if you don’t come back after the deadline, I will go down to accompany you.”

Qin Yi knew that he couldn’t tangle with her about the terms at this time, otherwise it would be endless drama, so he stretched out his hand and said, “High five as an oath. Within half a year.”

Li Qingjun stretched out her slender palm and patted him heavily.

Ming He was still thinking about “I won’t object to the matter between you and sister Ming He He’s sister”, then she suddenly heard Qin Yi’s transmitted thoughts, “I’m not going to die. Wouldn’t I escape if I think it’s really dangerous? Setting a deadline is the stupidest thing. If I come back late, wouldn’t she die in vain? If tao friend is benevolent, please take care of this silly girl and don’t let her die. Qin Yi will repay you in the future.”

Ming He smiled slightly. Her face brightened instantly. She only sent one word into Qin Yi’s sea of ??consciousness, “Okay.”
