Chapter 29 You are not allowed to die by drowning.

Qi Xunsheng finally recovered from his shock, rushed forward and grabbed Qi Zhao's arm, looking into her scarlet, strange eyes: "Qi Zhao, Qi Zhao, calm down, don't be impulsive."

Qi Xunsheng didn't know what Xuanmen was, but from Qi Zhao's expression he could guess that it was not a good thing.

"Qi Zhao!"

Qi Xunsheng's repeated calls finally brought Qi Zhao back to her senses. She let go, and Qin Yu fell to the ground like a deflated ball.

Nian Nian, who was hiding in Qu Yang's body, dragged her heavy body towards her and rubbed her with her head.

"Cough cough—" Qin Yu, who had regained his breath, coughed furiously. Despite feeling uncomfortable, he tried to comfort her, "I'm fine."

Qi Zhao turned his back to her and said coldly, "I'll give you one more chance. Where did this soul-binding technique come from?"

Qi Xunsheng acted as a peacemaker: "Just tell me now. If she does it again, I really won't be able to stop her."

"I don't know." Qin Yu bit her lip tightly.

Shan Xianmin, who was standing by, recovered from her shock and tried to persuade her, "We all understand how you feel. She just wants to know where you learned this technique, not that she wants Nian Nian back. Just tell me now."

"Ouch--" Qu Yang, who was lying on the sofa and dying, cried out in pain. His whole body was in pain, as if he had been run over by a truck. Hearing such words at this time made him so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood.

Qin Yu glanced at him and suddenly burst into laughter: "Qu Yang, have you ever thought that you would end up like this? When you bullied me, your ex-girlfriend, and poisoned kittens and puppies, did you ever think that all this would be repaid to you a thousand times over?"

Qin Yu's almost crazy accusations made Qu Yang lose his mind, and his mouth full of abusive words reached Qi Xunsheng's ears.

"The soul-binding spell has taken effect, and it's irreversible." Qi Zhao looked at her again with a much calmer expression. "You can speak now."

After hearing Qi Zhao's words, Qu Yang, who was still cursing, turned into begging, asking Qin Yu to save him, he knew he was wrong.

Qin Yu didn't answer, but looked at Qi Xunsheng: "He is begging me to save him, right?"

Qi Xunsheng nodded: "He said he knew he was wrong."

"You know you're wrong?" Qin Yu felt like she had just heard a huge joke. "You don't know you're wrong, you just know you're going to die."

Qu Yang's pleading did not make Qin Yu soften his heart.

"Did you spare me when we begged for mercy? Did you spare your ex-girlfriend when she lay dying in the hospital bed? Did you ever spare Nian Nian when you bullied her? And what about the stray cats in the neighborhood you poisoned? Did you spare them? You're thorough and leave no room for any evidence, so the law can't punish you. So let me do it. I'll make this demon disappear."

Qin Yu laughed crazily, and then she started crying. She hugged Nian Nian tightly and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Sister will protect you. No one will be able to bully you anymore."

"So you were pretending before?" Shan Xianmin was unable to come back to his senses for a long time, and his tone was full of admiration.

"At first, I didn't know his true identity, and by the time I found out, it was too late. My life was imprisoned, everything was controlled. He threatened me with my family's lives, saying he would hurt them if I dared to leave him. Even the videos you see were filmed under his surveillance and he reviewed them over and over again before releasing them. I lived like this for over a year until a girl came to me and offered to help me. I realized I wasn't the only victim. Even though she was scarred, he didn't receive the punishment he deserved."

"So I thought about killing him, but I couldn't sacrifice my life for killing him."

"So someone found you and told you the soul-banning technique." Qi Xunsheng continued.

"Um."

"who is he?"

"She told me she lived in Tianshan and her name was Miya."

"Mi Ya Immortal?" Qi Xunsheng was surprised. "Are you sure she lives in Tianshan now?"

Qi Zhao glanced at her indifferently, and Qi Xunsheng immediately explained to her in a low voice: "I could see ghosts when I was a child, right? It was the Immortal Mi Ya who gave me the bracelet back then, and I haven't seen ghosts since then."

Later, the bracelet was lost and she couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Then she met Qi Zhao and the Luo Qingqing incident happened, so she never looked for the Immortal Mi Ya again.

The outline of the matter is already clear: it was the Immortal Mi Ya who found her and gave her a method.

"This Miya is from the Xuanmen sect."

"If Xuanmen is a bad guy, then this shouldn't be the case."

The two of them stared at each other, and Qi Xunsheng quietly looked away.

After all, Immortal Mi Ya had helped her, and she didn't think he was a bad person.

Qu Yang's vital signs were already very weak, with only a faint breath left.

"What should we do now?" Shan Xianmin interrupted at the right moment, "Should we take care of this?"

Although she wished the other person would die and that such a scum deserved to die, she still couldn't bear to watch a life disappear knowingly.

So she was very conflicted.

A few seconds later, just when Qin Yu thought she wanted to save Qu Yang, she heard her pleading voice: "Do you have a spell that can make people lose their memories? Can you help me erase this memory? Otherwise, I will have nightmares at night."

At times like this, the first thing Shan Xianmin thought of was his sleep quality.

In the silence, Qi Xunsheng quietly raised his hand: "I need it too."

Although she doesn't have nightmares, she can't help but have wild thoughts when she thinks about what happened today.

Qi Zhao glanced at her and said calmly, "This is his retribution. Even if this hadn't happened, he would still have died."

"Really?"

"Um."

Qi Xunsheng and Shan Xianmin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Even if I want to save him, there's no way, right?" Qi Xunsheng confirmed again.

"This is a mysterious technique, there is no way to crack it." Qi Zhao said lightly.

"There's really nothing we can do about it." Qi Xunsheng and Shan Xianmin said in unison, full of regret.

Qin Yu thought that these people would stop her, and ask her to release Qu Yang under the pretext of showing mercy, or take her to the police station to surrender. Unexpectedly, they were just trying to lightly reduce the psychological trauma brought to them by this incident.

Even the person who had murderous intent towards her just now just gave her a cold look and said to the two people next to him, "You guys go out first. I have something to ask her."

"You deal with it yourself." Shan Xianmin said.

"Why are we here?" Qi Xunsheng looked like he had lost his memory.

"I forgot."

The two of them left the room after talking to each other.

After a while, Qi Zhao came out.

The three of them walked side by side on the road.

Qi Xunsheng was really curious, so he took her arm and asked flatteringly, "What did you ask?"

Qi Zhao glanced at her hand on his arm and said, "Be direct."

"Well, I just want to say that Immortal Miya is definitely not a bad person."

When Qi Xunsheng first saw a ghost as a child, she was terrified. If it weren't for the Immortal Miya, she would have been eaten by the evil ghost. Therefore, she refused to believe that she was a bad person.

"Just because she helped you, you're sure she's not a bad person? What's your basis for that?"

"So what's your basis for saying she's a bad person?"

Qi Zhao was too lazy to bother with her.

Qi Xunsheng was unyielding: "Are you going to go find her now?"

Qi Zhao: "She is waiting for me to go now."

Qi Xunsheng: "What do you mean?"

Qi Zhao didn't want to say too much to Qi Xunsheng, who didn't know the situation, so he just reminded her: "Stay away from her."

"Are you talking about Immortal Miya?" Qi Xunsheng felt that she was overthinking it. Immortal Miya was not something that could be seen whenever she wanted, but she still said obediently, "Don't worry."

Shan Xianmin followed Qi Xunsheng with a lot on her mind. Although she did what she wanted to do, she still inevitably felt afraid.

Qi Xunsheng: "Did he really die like this?"

Qi Zhao: “No.”

"ah?"

Qi Zhao said calmly, "It's just his soul that has left his body. From now on, he will wander through every animal that dies accidentally, feeling the guilt for the sins he committed in his lifetime."

Qi Xunsheng's eyes widened: "Is the Soul-Blocking Technique so powerful?"

Qi Zhao frowned: "Can a small Xuanmen magic be so powerful?"

"So what is this?"

"It's the reward I gave him." Qi Zhao said lightly.

Qi Xunsheng was stunned. After a few seconds, he opened his arms and hugged her: "You are so amazing, Qi Zhao!"

As smart as she was, she immediately understood that Qi Zhao did this to alleviate their guilt and at the same time let the bad guys feel the real retribution themselves.

"That's great." Shan Xianmin also breathed a sigh of relief and had more respect for Qi Zhao.

The previous events had made her feel that Qi Zhao was unusual, and today's incident further confirmed her thoughts.

The world she is in now should be a fantasy world, so there are so many strange and weird things.

But she couldn't be afraid, because her good friend was also like this. If she showed fear, Qi Xunsheng would definitely be sad.

Since then, Qin Yu has completely disappeared from the Internet. The number of followers of her self-media account is decreasing by thousands every day, and she has not updated it again.

From then on, Qi Xunsheng pestered Qi Zhao every day and asked her to teach him some magic.

But no matter how she pestered Qi Zhao, he refused to give in.

Qi Zhao refused to teach her magic, so she could only busy herself with her own affairs. After the incident with Qu Yang, she and Shan Xianmin wanted to build a bigger pet park and increased their publicity.

With the relationship with Qi Zhao, no one in Luocheng dared to disrespect Qi Xunsheng.

"Looking for the sound, Shan Xianmin wants you to come over for a moment."

Qi Xunsheng, who was counting the amount of money, looked up and saw that it was the helper he had recently hired who was talking.

"Where?"

"Someone came and she was talking to him in the car. It seemed like they were arguing."

Upon hearing this, Qi Xunsheng no longer hesitated and slowly walked towards the place she said. Sure enough, he saw a car parked opposite from a distance, and Shan Xianmin was talking to someone with his back to the car two or three meters away.

Thinking that the other party might be making things difficult for Shan Xianmin, Qi Xunsheng quickened his pace.

She opened her mouth to call her, but before she could say anything, her mouth and nose were covered with a piece of cloth. No matter how she struggled, she could not get free. Looking at Shan Xianmin who was so close to her, she could not make a sound. Gradually, she lost consciousness. In the last second before she lost consciousness, she felt herself being stuffed into the car.

Su Jing's voice was beside my ears: "If mom hadn't been soft-hearted, you would have died long ago. This time, I will throw you directly into the sea and see how you survive."

So, was it Lu Qinglian who was behind her kidnapping as a child?

But she no longer had time to think about these things, her world fell into darkness.

At the last moment, the first person she thought of was Qi Zhao.

If she died like this, would Qi Zhao be heartbroken? Or would he pretend nothing happened and find a new wife to inherit her billions of fortune?

Even so, please avenge her first.

On the other side, Qi Zhao, who was reading the secrets of Xuanmen, suddenly felt a palpitation.

"Cheng Wei."

"What's wrong?"

"What is Qi Xunsheng doing?"

"She's busy with her petting zoo."

"Be specific."

"Then let me ask," Cheng Wei took out a whistle, "Ever since I called Xiao Fei back last time, there hasn't been anything that can monitor her in real time, so you have to wait for me to ask."

The only way to find out what's happening over there is to ask the insects, birds and ghosts nearby.

"Forget it, I'll just go there."

"If you want to see her, just tell her."

By the time she finished speaking, Qi Zhao had already left the castle.

In less than ten minutes, Qi Zhao arrived at his destination but did not see Qi Xunsheng at the first time. He only saw Shan Xianmin pacing in place.

"What should I do? Let's go find Qi Zhao."

"what happened?"

Speak of the devil, and Shan Xianmin burst into tears instantly: "Xunsheng, Xunsheng has been kidnapped."

"Which direction?" Qi Zhao's voice was cold.

Xu Shanyan, who was standing next to Shan Xianmin, pointed tremblingly to the right: "Towards Linhai."

In just three seconds, Qi Zhao disappeared from the spot.

"This, this, this..." Xu Shanyan was frightened. A living person just disappeared like that.

"You didn't see anything." Shan Xianmin said calmly.

"Yes, I didn't see anything." Although he didn't know what was going on, Xu Shanyan was an obedient child and nodded heavily.

Shan Xianmin still couldn't help crying.

She was chatting with someone when Xu Shanyan suddenly ran over to tell her that Qi Xunsheng had disappeared. After asking, someone said that Qi Xunsheng had come to see her.

But she has been here all the time and has never seen Qi Xunsheng.

So the two of them checked the surveillance footage and saw that Qi Xunsheng was covered by his mouth and nose and stuffed into a black car, which was driving towards the sea.

"Yes, I can drive." Shan Xianmin then remembered that he got his driver's license last month.

"I want to go too." Xu Shanyan was still a high school student and had never seen such a thing, but now she definitely couldn't let Shan Xianmin drive there alone.

Qi Xunsheng felt like she had a long dream, in which her mother was waving at her. The suffocating feeling of seawater rushing into her mouth and nose was too real. Just as she was about to reach out and touch it, Qi Zhao's face suddenly appeared in her mind.

She suddenly opened her eyes and found herself slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea.

I couldn't help but think about her struggling to swim upstream.

The terrible experiences of childhood came back to mind.

At that time, she was so scared that she forgot everything that happened that day.

But since then, she has learned to swim.

But at this moment, Qi Xunsheng was completely powerless. As she struggled, her hands and feet gradually lost strength. She could no longer exert any strength and could only let her body sink to the deepest part of the sea.

That’s it, Qi Xunsheng.

Although I am unwilling, there is nothing I can do.

She slowly closed her eyes and could only accept this outcome.

Will she become a ghost after her death? Will she be able to visit Qi Zhao at Rose Manor then?

If she failed to turn into a ghost, would she never see Qi Zhao again?

Will Qi Zhao miss her?

Qi Xunsheng didn't know.

Is she dead? Why did she see Qi Zhao?

No, that was the living Qi Zhao, swimming towards her.

Familiar memories flooded into her mind like a floodgate of water.

The memory that she chose to forget due to fear gradually came back to her mind.

It’s Qi Zhao.

The person who saved her when she was a child was Qi Zhao.

The moment she remembered, she fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Xunsheng was awakened by a burst of crying.

She opened her heavy eyelids and finally heard the vague voice.

"Xunsheng, are you awake? Xunsheng, Xunsheng, woooo."

Shan Xianmin cried even louder when she saw her open her eyes.

"Water..." After a long time, Qi Xunsheng finally uttered a word.

Shan Xianmin quickly brought her some water.

After a long pause, Qi Xunsheng finally had the strength to speak.

Familiar room furnishings.

This is her bedroom.

"Where's Qi Zhao?"

"After she rescued you, she asked me to bring you back. I don't know where she went," Shan Xianmin hesitated for a few seconds before continuing, "but she didn't look well. She must be feeling unwell. She definitely didn't mean to avoid seeing you."

"Cough cough cough——" Qi Xunsheng coughed and sat up, "I want to go to Rose Castle."

"Don't..." Shan Xianmin said again, "Qi Zhao told me to keep an eye on you and not to go anywhere, and not to look for her."

"No, I want to find her. I remember everything now." Qi Xunsheng said helplessly, "It turns out that she saved me twice when I was a child."

"She saved you? But you were only five years old when you fell into the sea, and Qi Zhao is only eight years older than you. Are you sure it was her?"

Qi Xunsheng nodded: "It was her. She erased my memory."

Following these two people, Shan Xianmin has long been accustomed to such things.

"I think it's quite strange," Shan Xianmin pursed her lips, "I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Hurry up and tell me." Qi Xunsheng was almost dying of anxiety.

"When she rescued you, you seemed to be dead. She saw Xu Shanyan and me and seemed ready to erase our memories. But she was a little powerless. In the end, she just told us to bring you back and keep quiet, not to call a doctor, and that you would wake up in an hour. She didn't let us mention this to anyone."

Shan Xianmin felt a chill run down her spine when she recalled the scene she had witnessed. She burst into tears again, "You don't even know. I thought you were dead, and I wanted to jump in too."

The car drove past her without her noticing at all. If Xu Shanyan hadn't been looking for Qi Xunsheng for something, and Qi Zhao hadn't happened to be looking for Qi Xunsheng, she didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.

"I might have really died." The feeling of suffocation was too real, and coupled with Shan Xianmin's words, it was hard for Qi Xunsheng not to think of this.

"You're awake." Xu Shanyan, who was at the door holding some porridge, saw that she was awake and couldn't help crying too.

Although they had not known each other for long, Xu Shanyan always felt that Qi Xunsheng was very kind, making her want to get closer.

Now Qi Xunsheng, who just woke up, has to comfort two crying babies.

When they had almost finished crying, Qi Xunsheng drank two mouthfuls of porridge under the coercion of the two, and then said, "I'm going to Rose Manor to see Qi Zhao."

Her heart was beating fast and she was very uneasy.

If nothing had happened, Qi Zhao would definitely not abandon her.

Why did he save her when she was a child, but erased her memory after saving her, and who owns the painting in the study?

Is she really just a stand-in?

So much so that when she was still young, he risked his own life to save her.

At this time, Shan Xianmin didn't care whether she was scared or not. Qi Zhao saved her good friend, so she must be a good person.

After explaining the situation there to Xu Shanyan, she accompanied Qi Xunsheng to Rose Manor alone.

"Is this really Rose Manor?"

After confirming again and again that the location was correct, Shan Xianmin raised a question.

Judging from the withered roses, Qi Xunsheng had already sensed Qi Zhao's condition.

Very bad.

Qi Xunsheng had just been revived from a near-death state. Apart from feeling thirsty when he first woke up, he was now full of energy.

The castle gate was closed tightly, and no matter how hard she knocked, the people inside refused to open the door and let her in.

There was a swing chair built according to her requirements at the door, and Qi Xunsheng felt more and more uneasy.

"Cheng Wei! Cheng Wei!"

Finally, under her constant shouting, the door was opened.

Cheng Wei, wearing a white long-sleeve coat, floated in the air.

"Where is Qi Zhao?" Qi Xunsheng asked anxiously.

"Lying in there, ah." Cheng Wei sighed.

Qi Zhao only instructed that if Qi Xunsheng called her, he must not let her in.

She listened.

But later Qi Xunsheng called out to Cheng Wei instead of Qi Zhao, so it’s okay for her to open the door, right?

Qi Xunsheng rushed in and flew around like a headless fly.

Cheng Wei said helplessly: "In the back garden."

Back garden? Does this house have a back garden?

Under Qi Xunsheng's puzzled and curious gaze, Cheng Wei walked in front and took her to the back garden.

This is a place Qi Xunsheng has never been to.

It is more like another rose manor, where the flowers bloom very brightly and dazzlingly.

In the center of the blooming flowers stood a coffin.

Her intuition told her that Qi Zhao was inside.

But she hesitated to step forward.

"Is it to save me?" Qi Xunsheng's voice trembled.

Cheng Wei just sighed deeply: "This isn't the first time. She didn't live long each time she reincarnated. She saved someone who was supposed to die, and her health has been decreasing."

"Reincarnation?"

"Well, I shouldn't have told you this, but she came back today weaker than ever before, and even left her last words. It's even a question whether she can wake up this time, so there's no need for me to hide it from you."

"It's to save me, right?" Qi Xuncheng asked knowingly.

At this moment, she finally understood that the painting hidden in the study was her.

"Upon her death, all property in her name will be transferred to your name."

"No! She won't die! I will definitely save her."

Looking at Qi Zhao lying quietly in the coffin with a pale face without a trace of blood, Qi Xunsheng felt unprecedented heartache.

The fear he felt when Qi Yushuang passed away once again filled his heart, even more so.

"Wait for me, you are not allowed to die."

After saying this, Qi Xunsheng turned and left.

She doesn't want Qi Zhao to die.

Since Xuanmen has the soul-binding technique, there must be a way to keep Qi Zhao alive.
