Chapter 39: I Test You Too
“Listening to Brother Qin’s tone...” Li Qinglin finally said, “If I say that answer, you will refuse right.”
Qin Yi said decisively, “Yes.”
“Why? Because you are afraid that Qingjun will know... that you poisoned her father?”
Li Qinglin spoke very calmly. Ye Ling hugged her shoulders and shrank a bit, looking terrified.
He really said it. He really wanted to kill his father. DiiScôver new stories on no/v/e()/lbin(.)com
If it’s just the skirmish between brothers, there are many examples among ordinary families. It is also not uncommon among animals. I can understand. But for a son to kill his father, it is really sensational, but Li Qinglin can speak so calmly.
I felt that even beastkins won’t do to such extent... Why does Ming He have such a big opinion on beastkin...
But Qin Yi replied, “There are two reasons. If Qingjun knows that I poison her father, I can’t live with her in the future.”
“She won’t know.”
“But I can’t face her.”
“Heh...” Li Qinglin smiled, and asked again, “Only this? Well, the second one is you’re afraid that I’ll sacrifice you?”
“The second one is...” Qin Yi was silent for a moment, then he slowly said, “I don’t want my friend to do such a thing. It will make me unable to face him sitting on the throne. I will never be able to confirm what he said that night when warming the wine is true or false.”
Li Qinglin was startled for a moment. He looked at Qin Yi without talking.
Qin Yi didn’t look at him anymore. Instead, he came to Ye Ling’s side and checked her pulse.
“...” Then he found that her pulse was cold, which was completely different from that of human beings. Not to mention his mediocre medical skills, even Hua Tuo couldn’t measure such a pulse even if he crossovered...
He was about to ask Ye Ling about her feeling, then Li Qinglin spoke behind him, “West Savage Kingdom and Dong Huazi must have conspirations for South Li Kingdom, but Dong Huazi is more powerful in South Li Kingdom than you think. I can’t investigate at all. The most accurate and fastest way to break the stalemate is to ascend to the throne. This step is imperative now. At this time, being kind will only ruin the big picture.”
Qin Yi didn’t answer.
Li Qinglin said again, “Poisoning is the best way. Not only is there no problem with my enthronement, but I can also push everything to Dong Huazi’s elixir, which is convenient for the next step. Of course, there is another option. I mobilize the army, controlled the imperial guards, and directly forced the father to abdicate to practice Taoism... But this will make the legal principle disadvantageous. The current situation is unstable. It will give Dong Huazi and West Savage Kingdom the chance.”
Qin Yi finally turned around, “In this matter, it’s the same for you to use other people’s poison. You don’t need to involve me. Even if Qingjun and I go far away, it won’t hinder you.”
“Why are you pretending to be an adult? You fooled me when I first met you. I was really blind.” Qin Yi grabbed her face and lifted it up. Ye Ling stood up straight, staring at him with a puffy face.
“Quickly tell me about your current situation. Not only your beastkin aura has weakened, according to Ming He, the nature of your beastkin aura has changed too. Your wings have also become smaller. Do you feel any discomfort?”
“It’s just that the surge of beastkin flame just now still hurt now. I can’t muster any strength... but I can’t tell the details... I don’t even know the wings...”
What a stupid snake... Qin Yi joked, “Do you want me to check your body?”
Ye Ling scratched her head, “Okay.”
“Ahem...” Qin Yi couldn’t help coughing.
He heard Liu Su say, “The wings are smaller because of her breakthrough. When the wings are no longer visible in normal times and can be stretched freely when used, then her Morphing Stage will reach perfection. Her beastkin aura weakening is naturally due to the serious injury. As for the change in nature...”
It hesitated and said after a while, “It’s caused by the heart fire leaving her body and bringing away some wildness, but it’s not so outrageous... I guess it may have something to do with her ‘forgot something’ that day.”
Qin Yi almost vomited blood. Didn’t you say that there is nothing important to be forgotten in her mind? The nature of her beastkin aura has even changed now. How is it not important!
“The Flying Serpent is frightening and cunning. It is a strange beast that can bring fear or confusion to people. If she is like that when you first meet her, under the influence of Li Qinglin for a period of time, I’m afraid she will really evolve into this direction. Are you really willing to let that happen?”
Qin Yi was taken aback for a moment and didn’t say much. He just took out 2 pills and put them in Ye Ling’s palm, “I haven’t refined elixirs that hurt you, so consume these 2 elixirs first. I’ll try to refine one for you in these 2 days. You’re seriously injured, so you should rest first. I will come to see you another day.”
Ye Ling tugged on his sleeve, showing some attachment.
Qin Yi touched her head and said in a low voice, “There will be a storm in recent. Strengthening our self-protection ability is the first priority, no matter you or me.”
Ye Ling nodded understandingly.
After leaving Ye Ling’s small courtyard, Qin Yi looked up, only to realize that it was getting late.
“No wonder you didn’t like Ye Ling at the beginning. It turned out that it’s related to the Flying Serpent’s nature...” He slowly walked back to his courtyard while asking Liu Su, “Why didn’t you just tell me directly?”
Liu Su said coldly, “I wanted to teach you a lesson. Flying Serpent already has the ability to bewitch. Just look at how you dot her at first glance, hehe. But now even I don’t know if she is really dumb or faking dumb.”
Qin Yi was stunned for a while, then he said in a low voice, “Thank you.”
Liu Su didn’t say anything. The 2 were quiet all the way. Liu Su suddenly said, “Don’t keep looking down at the ground, is there an enchanted weapon to pick? Look at your room, Ming He.”
Qin Yi looked up. Ming He stood quietly in the middle of the serene room. She looked down at the Divine Speed ??Talisman half-drawn by Qin Yi on the table. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, she looked a little blurry. It was as if a beautiful jade carving was placed in the room.
TL: Why is she still here?
