Chapter 430: Chapter 431: Good fellow, what’s the origin of this?
Qingzhu was stunned by Qi Yue’s abrupt brainstorm, unable to regain his senses for quite some time.
“…Master, could you be overthinking this!”
Qi Yue pressed her lips together.
“That’s hard to say, anything is possible after all!”
“But Master,” Qingzhu stated confidently, “I can assure you, your mother didn’t fake her death, she truly is no longer of this world.”
“What?” Qi Yue halted in her steps, her face full of suspicion, “How can you be so sure? You didn’t investigate me, did you?”
Seeing Qingzhu hesitating to speak, Qi Yue felt her head was about to explode.
“——You really did investigate?”
“I did.” Qingzhu quickly bowed his head and explained, “But that was before, before Master and the Marquis were ordered to marry…”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue immediately calmed down.
Forget it, that’s all ancient history now!
“…So you’re saying I couldn’t possibly be related to the Liu Family?”
“Yes, absolutely impossible.”
Qi Yue let out a sigh of relief.
“As long as it’s not related, I won’t feel guilty about digging into it.”
At her words, Qingzhu’s lips twitched for a long time before he could recover.
Soon, the two were led to an extremely remote location.
From the outside, it appeared to be a bamboo garden.
The bamboos grew very tall and thin, each shooting straight into the blue sky with an indefinable stubbornness.
A narrow path in the middle of the bamboo forest led to an invisible depth, where you could vaguely see a simple pavilion.
There was no plaque above the gate, nor a name.
Just as Qi Yue was about to make an inquiry, the old butler stopped.
“Young master, the master is in the study room ahead, please.”
He then looked at Qingzhu, “But I’m afraid this gentleman will have to wait outside.”
As Qi Yue’s protector, Qingzhu couldn’t bear to let her go in alone and immediately objected.
“That won’t do, someone must be by my master’s side.”
The butler calmly gave a bow, his expression serene as he explained, “Both of you are unaware, only one assigned cleaner aside from our master can enter this garden. Today, young master is an exception. If you are worried about safety, you can rest assured, our Liu Residence is not a place where anyone can come and go as they please.”
Qingzhu was about to speak again, but was stopped by Qi Yue.
“Qingzhu, I find the scenery of the grand Liu Residence quite unique. Why don’t you take a look around?”
“Master…”
“Go on…” Qi Yue waved her hands repeatedly.
Lately, she had made progress with her blade skills, and as long as it wasn’t Shengong lying in wait in Liu Zhinan’s study, she was confident she could handle a few men.
Moreover, she felt that Liu Zhinan wasn’t likely to harm her.
Watching Qingzhu leave reluctantly, Qi Yue then stepped into the courtyard.
Walking along the narrow path, the rustling sound of the breeze through the bamboo leaves and the flapping wings of undisclosed insects made the world around her seem exceptionally serene.
“What a wonderful place this is!”
Qi Yue listened quietly for a moment, a smile curling at the edges of her lips.
Her intuition told her this conversation might be rather pleasant.
She walked and stopped intermittently, and soon reached the end of the path.
What lay before her eyes was suddenly enlightening.
Indeed, what a majestic building!
Just within an arrow’s range, there stood an imposing high-rise building.
Though it lacked gold-painted dragons and glaze-crafted phoenixes, it exuded an overwhelming aura.
Qi Yue looked up, feeling as if her chest had been filled with boundless clear waves.
Upon closer observation, she secretly admired the building’s ingenious and infinite design.
She couldn’t help but want to recite a passage from “Fu of the Epang Palace”!
“…The corridors weaved back and forth, the eaves projected high like pecking birds…”
Her gaze resting on the upper right space of the pavilion, Qi Yue couldn’t help but shake her head.
“No, it should be the Yueyang Building instead…”

No, that’s not right either, this building resembles nothing else.
It was built relying on the rock formations behind it, and the undulating hills behind the pavilion were more majestic than the building itself.
On the mountain, whether it was pine trees or bamboo couldn’t be discerned. Maybe because it was too dense, or too distant, one could only see clumps of green clouds piling up together.
They looked like smoke, yet also like clouds.
“…when the light mist opens on its own in the evening, the azure sky and the bright sun shine upon the terraces.”
Faced with such a beautiful scene, Qi Yue softly recited a line, having almost forgotten that Liu Zhinan was still waiting for her.
“What literary grace you have, young master!”
Suddenly, a voice came from above her head, prompting Qi Yue to raise her eyebrows and look up.
If it wasn’t Liu Zhinan, then who could it be?
His attire today was significantly different from usual.
Clad in a sky-blue robe with a blue cloak draped over it, standing amidst the swirling winds, his hair fluttering, he seemed to have acquired an air of mysterious otherworldliness.
How come this Liu Zhinan seemed to have more than meets the eye?
Could he actually be a master?
Qi Yue pursed her lips.
“Lord Liu mustn’t have summoned me here just to test my knowledge, right?”
She had already decided—if Liu Zhinan simply said “yes,” she would recite the entire “Memorial to Yueyang Building” on the spot to probe this old man.
Although during their encounter at the bookstore, Liu Zhinan had shown interest in the foreign book in her hands, he had not shown any odd behaviors, but she refused to believe he was also a time-traveler!
If he were from the era of compulsory education, he would know that she was borrowing lines from a famous ancient masterpiece.
Anyway, her goal today was to figure out why Liu Zhinan held her in such high regard.
“Of course not, your lordship has already witnessed the young master’s erudition,” Liu Zhinan said, positioned on the second floor with a smile veiled on his face and an unfathomable expression.
Qi Yue’s lips twitched.
What was this old man planning?
Did he have no intent to invite her inside for a seat?
Why was he speaking such straightforward words outside? What did he mean by that?
Forget it, she couldn’t be bothered to ask.
Recalling the reason for her visit, she reached into her bosom and pulled out the book titled “A Brief Summary of the Qiongzhou Continent” from her spatial storage.
——Initially, she had planned to present it respectfully into his hands, but now…
Qi Yue’s eyes shifted, and a hint of a smile played on her lips.
Seeing how arrogant Liu Zhinan was acting, she decided to test him a bit.
Previously, Zhao Xiyan had taught her how to transfer strength into objects and release it, creating the illusion of powerful inner strength to prevent being underestimated.
It was time to show off!
With that thought, she silently exerted power and pushed the book outward.
“Lord Liu, I have finished reading your book, and now I am returning it to you.”
As she spoke, the book spun and flew straight towards the stone pillar on the second floor.
Almost immediately after pushing it out, Qi Yue began to regret her actions a bit.
It was a bit rash.
If Liu Zhinan had no martial arts skills at all, and the book hit the stone pillar, the sheer force of its passage would be enough to to injure someone!
With that thought, she quickly shouted, “Lord Liu, please retreat a few steps quickly.”
But to her surprise, just as her words fell, Liu Zhinan advanced instead of retreating.
What surprised her even more was that Liu Zhinan actually reached out to grab the book.
The next second, she saw Liu Zhinan catching the book with a very composed manner and casually tucking it into his bosom.
“…” Qi Yue clicked her tongue.
Unexpectedly, he indeed was a master?
Suddenly, another astonishing statement exploded in Qi Yue’s ears.
“Young master, this isn’t inner strength, is it?”
Upon hearing this, Qi Yue’s pupils involuntarily shrank.
What kind of background did this man have?
Zhao Xiyan had clearly said that using Innate Divine Strength to imitate inner strength was a highly secretive method.
Unless the other person was a peak expert like Shen Gong, ordinary people would never be able to detect it.
Could Liu Zhinan actually be a second Shen Gong?
Could it be that he had lured her here with false pretenses, intending to make a move on her?
And she had foolishly thought Liu Zhinan was not bad?
What a rash judgment!
Qi Yue’s thoughts raced, and she soon let out a smile.
“Lord Liu, what are you saying? This was never inner strength to begin with!”
