Chapter 288 -26 Lin Qingyi’s Worries_2
Hearing Lin Qingyi’s words, Jiang Ning didn’t quite agree.
This world didn’t have the ubiquitous surveillance of his past life.
No matter how high one’s status, at most others would not dare to attack openly.
But to kill secretly and dispose of the body without a trace, who would know who did it?
Where does the notion of safety come from?
Lin Qingyi continued, “However, you mustn’t take it lightly, you’ve been marked by the Yellow Heaven Sect!”
“The Yellow Heaven Sect? Marked?” Jiang Ning’s expression revealed a hint of surprise.
He suddenly thought of his actions the previous night.
“Could it be that my actions, so well hidden, have been discovered by the Yellow Heaven Sect?” he thought to himself.
At this moment, seeing the surprise on Jiang Ning’s face, Lin Qingyi slightly nodded.
“Yes! The Yin God that appeared in your home last night is one of the Earth Kings of the Yellow Heaven Sect.”
“Among the Yellow Heaven Sect, Earth Kings hold very high positions, for they have achieved success in the Ancient Cultivation Method.”
“They have mastered Ancient Skills, and thus possess various inconceivable Divine Skills.”
“During last night’s incident, you were marked by that Earth King with the Yellow Heaven Sect’s mark.”
“Any martial artist in the Yellow Heaven Sect who has mastered the Heavenly Eye can see the mark he placed.”
As she said this, Lin Qingyi’s gaze fell into Jiang Ning’s pupils.
“Having said that, what exactly did you do to the Yellow Heaven Sect that made them send an Earth King using Yin God to find you?”
Jiang Ning hesitated briefly before responding, “Last night, I killed a few members of the Yellow Heaven Sect.”
“That explains it!” Lin Qingyi nodded.
She then continued, “The Yellow Heaven Sect truly spans only five of the Nine States in Great Xia, and there aren’t many followers of the sect in Luoshui County, which lies in Zeshan State.”
“The group of Yellow Heaven Sect members who came to Luoshui County must be tasked with spreading their doctrines and recruiting believers.”
“Your killing of their people, hindering the spread of the Yellow Heaven Sect, made it normal for an Earth King to intervene from afar.”
Hearing Lin Qingyi’s words, Jiang Ning felt he understood the situation somewhat.
He then asked, “Sister Lin, with that said, will the Earth King come to Luoshui County?”
“No!” Lin Qingyi shook her head. “What status does an Earth King have? Why would he come to Luoshui County for such a trivial matter?”
“Don’t be fooled by the fact that the Earth King’s Yin God manifestation is only equivalent to Martial Arts Fourth Grade. Due to its special nature, he’s considered a reincarnated Immortal and holds an extremely high position in the Yellow Heaven Sect.”
“The Earth King ranks only below the Heaven King and the Sect Hierarch of the Yellow Heaven Sect.”
“For such a minor matter, it’s not worth his while to travel thousands of miles to come to Luoshui County.”
“Just sending his Yin God thousands of miles to mark you is already the greatest help to the believers on this mission.”
Having listened seriously to Lin Qingyi’s words, Jiang Ning felt much relieved.
That significant figure capable of sending out his Yin God was thousands of miles away, and with his Divine Soul injured, it was not possible for him to come to Luoshui County.
That meant his potential enemies were no more than Liu Linmen and his group.
Although a Martial Arts Fifth Grade exerted great pressure on him, it was not without countermeasures for resistance.
Just like the previous night, gaining the advantage of time and place, Liu Linmen could do nothing to him for the moment.
In fact, he had even injured him, nearly blinding his eyes.
After pondering for a moment.
Jiang Ning spoke again, “Sister Lin, do you have a way to remove the mark from me?”
“I can’t!” Lin Qingyi shook her head. “I don’t have the Immortal Root. I have no solution for such Divine Skills from Ancient Times.”
She then continued to look at Jiang Ning.
“Nevertheless, you don’t have to worry. Being an Eighth Grade official, the Yellow Heaven Sect dares not act against you here. Their mission is far more important than those who died.”
Jiang Ning smiled noncommittally.
Regarding this matter, he knew far more than Lin Qingyi.
Last night, the person he killed, if he wasn’t mistaken, belonged to the God Worship Sect, not the Yellow Heaven Sect.
The fact that yesterday’s God Worship Sect members were acting with the Yellow Heaven Sect undeniably suggested a problem.
Hence, the importance of the man he killed might be more troublesome than Lin Qingyi imagined.
Therefore, he didn’t dare to be careless.
The mark Lin Qingyi spoke of, he couldn’t detect, let alone dispel.
That meant, as long as Liu Linmen came looking, with a mere open of the Heavenly Eye, he could know that he was the one who took action that night.
“I need to focus more on strengthening my power!” Jiang Ning thought to himself.
He glanced at his own panel.
[Source Energy]: 31.7
Currently, the only thing that could improve his power quickly was Source Energy Points.
The Break Limit of Skill, though it wouldn’t bring a fundamental improvement in Martial Arts, could undoubtedly greatly increase his actual combat capabilities.
Just like the arrow he shot out last night.
If he hadn’t mastered the Wind Thunder Arrow Skill to Perfection, how could he have shot such a formidable arrow?
Including last night’s narrow achievement of injuring Liu Linmen’s eyes, it was also reliant on the Divine Skills gained from breaking the limit of Swimming.
After some thought, Jiang Ning prepared to go home to assimilate the resources he had acquired that day.
Afterwards,
Jiang Ning clasped his hands together, “Thank you, Sister Lin, for solving the mystery in my heart! I must return home now.”
“Wait a moment!” Lin Qingyi raised her hand, “Would you like a wife?”
Jiang Ning: “…”
He then said, “Sister Lin, I have absolutely no such thoughts at present. Only if there could be a woman as stunning as you, might I be moved.”
Having said that, Jiang Ning clasped his hands, “Sister Lin, I will take my leave now.”
As his words ended, Jiang Ning turned and left.
Lin Qingyi watched his tall figure departing, and couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
Afterward, she watched Jiang Ning slowly descending the stairs, his fading figure eliciting a smile from her.
“This little guy, he even dares to tease me?”
Soon after, she took on a look as if her thoughts were wandering to the heavens, seemingly pondering something.
Several breaths later.
Lin Qingyi couldn’t help but sigh softly, “Ah—”
Her tone brimmed with deep melancholy.
Then she walked over to the wooden railing and looked down at the street below.
Instantly, she saw Jiang Ning, who was also looking back in her direction.
At that moment, Jiang Ning stood on the street and glanced up at the rooftop pavilion of Wanhua Building, immediately noticing Lin Qingyi standing against the railing.
Seeing this, Jiang Ning raised his hand and waved goodbye.
Then he turned once more and left.
“This young man is really not bad! He truly fits my aesthetic! If I had met him when I was younger, I might indeed have refused to yield to death, and never have married that man, effectively becoming a widow for nothing!”
“I still don’t know whether what I’ve investigated these years is true.”
“Did the Old Prince want him to marry me simply because I was a suitable vessel?”
“If that’s really the case, the sudden death of the man on the day he married me might have been the handiwork of the Old Prince.”
This chapt𝒆r is updated by frёewebηovel.cѳm.
With this possibility in mind, Lin Qingyi felt a sense of powerlessness wash over her.
After marrying into the Prince Mansion, she truly experienced the terror of being married to a man of great rank and power.
Even though the old man was white-haired and aged, he remained a colossal presence in Great Xia.
Nowadays, even with some strength of her own, she had no chance of escaping.
Moreover, if she were to flee, over a thousand of her family members would perish because of her.
If this matter was true, the Old Prince’s allowing her the freedom to move about showed the extent of his confidence.
Thinking about all these matters, Lin Qingyi sighed deeply, filled with a myriad of melancholy emotions.
Subsequently, she steadied her spirit and shook her head.
“No!!!
“I still have to find that youngster a wife. Otherwise, I really fear the day I make a mistake.”
“If I really mess up, that youngster might end up dead because of me!”
Lin Qingyi immediately made up her mind.
…
On the other side,
After leaving Wanhua Building,
Jiang Ning fell into deep thought.
His visit to Wanhua Building today solved many of the doubts in his heart.
Especially, he solved the biggest doubt in his mind, the reason for last night’s incident.
Yin God possession.
That was the root cause of last night’s changes.
“Luckily, Lin Qingyi was there!” Jiang Ning thought to himself silently.
He was secretly grateful to Lin Qingyi.
She had helped him enormously.
“I wonder what Lin Qingyi’s true strength is?” This question, after appearing in Jiang Ning’s mind, made him feel that Lin Qingyi was surrounded by layers of enigma.
According to Lin Qingyi, a Prince of the Land was equivalent to a Martial Arts Fourth Grade existence.
Martial Arts Fourth Grade, one below a Grandmaster, the strongest of warriors.
Such might was incredibly formidable.
And even among the contemporaries, it denoted a top-tier combatant.
Yet Lin Qingyi, last night, managed to harm that Prince of the Land’s Yin God.
This clearly indicated that Lin Qingyi was not simple.
Such strength, how could she merely be the deputy manager of a small branch of Wanhua Building in Luoshui County?
If Wanhua Building could really afford such luxury, to have Lin Qingyi serve as just a deputy manager,
Then this world would not belong to Great Xia, but to Wanhua Building.
“Lin Qingyi is not so simple, but it’s best not to inquire too much!” Jiang Ning thought to himself internally.
