Huai’s pawnshop.
“Sister, sister, where are you...”
After finishing her washing, Pei Xiangyun changed into new clothes and looked around the room for her sister.
Finally, she spotted her sister leaning quietly against a tree by the entrance to the backyard, not moving at all.
“Sis, what are you doing?”
Pei Xiangyun lifted her skirt and quickly walked over, smiling cheerfully.
As soon as she approached, she was frightened by a pale hand on the ground, her face turning pale as she asked:
“What is this?!”
Under the tree, there was a large pit with two bodies wearing black clothes. They seemed to have been dead for some time.
At this moment, Pei Xiangyun was bewildered, not knowing why two corpses had suddenly appeared in the backyard.
Yu Qinghan stared at the two bodies, remaining silent and her phoenix eyes incredibly calm.
It seemed like she was deep in thought. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
Pei Xiangyun began to examine the bodies, and after a while, she exclaimed:
“How did these corpses get here? Sister, did you kill them?”
Yu Qinghan replied faintly, then slowly stood up, as if she had already gotten the answer she was looking for.
Pei Xiangyun, having received a negative answer, quickly thought up a bold idea.
“Could it be...brother-in-law?”
But she quickly dismissed that thought, muttering to herself:
“But it doesn’t make sense. I heard you say that he’s only just started cultivating, right? These two people have different muscles and bones than ordinary people, and their pubic regions have been opened. They must be cultivators. How could someone who just started cultivating deal with two cultivators?”
“Is there another killer?”
Pei Xiangyun came to her sister’s side, trying to see a hint of an answer on her face.
But she was disappointed, as she couldn’t find any clues in her sister’s expression.
Pei Xiangyun pouted and guessed: “Maybe these people were killed by brother-in-law! You don’t know his true side, but in private, he might be a super villain who came just for you, sister!”
“My husband is not that kind of person.” Yu Qinghan frowned slightly.
Yu Qinghan pressed her lips together, looking at the newly opened spiritual medicine garden in the courtyard and the cozy surroundings. She stood up, toyed with the flowers under the tree, and whispered:
“Xiangyun, you don’t understand.”
“He has always been who he is, never changing, whether he has a high cultivation level or a low one. In the end, all he wants is to live a peaceful life. That’s enough. ”
Yu Qinghan’s thoughts were simple: as long as the good days continued, and her husband treated her well, that was enough. What else was there to worry about?
“Sister, you...”
Pei Xiangyun saw her sister’s complex expression and didn’t know what to say.
She could only think that her sister trusted her good-for-nothing husband too much.
As long as it didn’t harm her and life continued as it was, it didn’t matter what cultivation level he had. She wouldn’t bother with anything else.
This attitude was too relaxed for her to understand.
“Bury them. Pretend nothing ever happened.”
With a wave of Yu Qinghan’s slender hand, a strong surge of True Qi emanated from her, and a large amount of soil floated up to cover the corpses.
Soon, all the soil was smoothed out and filled back in as if nothing had happened.
Whine!
At this moment, an eagle-hawk appeared in the sky, letting out a long cry. “Is there important news?” Pei Xiangyun cried out in surprise upon seeing the eagle-hawk.
This eagle-hawk was a spirit bird bred by the Pei family, specifically for delivering intelligence. If there was important news, it would report it immediately.
Pei Xiangyun read the letter and quickly knitted her brows.
“The Imperial Court has issued an order to mobilize troops, stating that they will transfer the southern army to garrison the West Pass and leave only a portion of the forces to defend the south.” “Sister, your troops have been reassigned.”
Pei Xiangyun said worriedly.
“If they’re reassigned, so what. It has nothing to do with me.”
Yu Qinghan continued to plant more spiritual medicine in the garden, sounding unconcerned.
Pei Xiangyun sighed, “Sister, this means you’ll never have a chance to return to the military.”
“Even if your general seal was taken away before, the military system was still intact. There was still a chance to turn things around. But now, with this order, the invincible Senior General of the Five Armies has crumbled.”
“What was the Emperor thinking?”
After hearing this, Yu Qinghan showed no reaction and picked up her watering can, slowly walking back into the house.
Pei Xiangyun watched her sister’s retreating figure, her almond-shaped eyes filled with sorrow.
She felt that it was time for her to leave.
ps: It’s been a bit quiet lately, and there are no comments.. Is it because I’m losing popularity? = =
