Chapter 971 971. Casual things, casual things

Queshen Mountain.

The space of this world is divided into two layers.

The lower layer is a normal continuous mountain range, and the upper layer is an inverted palace city. The same mountain outline can be vaguely seen on the foundation of the palace city.

The upper and lower levels are connected by a thousand rays of light as red as the sunset glow.

Ke Yanqing and others had just returned to this world, and before the golden sparrow could fly to the upper level to enter the real Queshen Mountain world.

From a distance, a soldier in bright golden and red armor came over, followed by a middle-aged man.

Although the figure on the back of the golden sparrow was shrouded in a special force field and could not be seen clearly, Bingwei recognized the golden sparrow as the work of the maid Ke Yanqing.

He stood outside the Golden Sparrow, bowed his head respectfully, and said in a deep voice: "My Lady, this person has been waiting here for three days. He said he has something important to report to you."

Behind Bingwei, the middle-aged man was Uncle Lin Han.

Uncle Lin Han is a member of the Conan Guard. Before, when Xia Feng rushed to Weiyang College, he saw through the Eye of Time that Nian Gengcheng was torturing Uncle Lin Han. He forced Uncle Lin Han to surrender by killing his daughter Lin Xi.

Thinking of this, Xia Feng narrowed his black pupils slightly. Nian Gengcheng seemed to have given Uncle Lin Han a knife that carried a god-given poison.

The middle-aged man stood behind the soldiers, his head lowered, his messy hair covering half of his eyebrows. He looked very depressed, and his eyes looking down at the ground were empty.

Everyone noticed that something was wrong with the middle-aged man.

Bingwei's right hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist. He and Uncle Lin Han were familiar with each other, but if Uncle Lin did anything extreme that was detrimental to Lady Shiji, he would not show mercy either!

As expected, Uncle Lin Han slowly took out a dagger from his arms, but his casual movements did not seem like he was going to do something stupid like assassination.

Uncle Lin Han looked at the dagger in his hand, a little stunned, but he quickly regained his composure and bowed his head respectfully in a deep voice: "My Lady, this item was given to me by a disciple of the Burning Heaven. It carries a heaven-sent poison."

Uncle Lin Han quickly explained the whole story of what happened three days ago, including how Nian Gengcheng wanted him to kill Conan with a dagger containing a disaster poison, and when Conan's body was transported back to Queshen Mountain, the corpse transformed and the disaster poison ravaged Queshen Mountain.

Since it concerned his younger brother, Ke Yanqing listened quietly and carefully, and the more he listened, the deeper his frown became.

He stepped out from the golden sparrow and appeared in front of Uncle Lin Han.

After checking the dagger, she erased the God-given mark, destroyed the dagger, and raised her eyes and said,

"Three days ago?" Ke Yanqing's tone was slightly cold. "Why did you wait until today to report, and specifically to me?"

The superior aura of the maid made Uncle Lin Han feel subconsciously physically fearful. This was the first time he faced the maid directly, a big figure who was closest to his mother. He had only heard of this kind of important person in the past through casual conversations with his colleagues.

But his daughter's death had already made him feel hopeless. He didn't want to dwell on it any longer. His hollow eyes drooped as he spoke in a low voice, "Because I heard that the maid-in-law was the most..."

"Good heart."

Hearing this, Ke Yanqing couldn't help but be stunned. This was indeed her external personality.

Kind-hearted, approachable, and approachable—what ridiculous words these were. As the eldest daughter of the Ke family, how could Ke Yanqing be such a sheep-like person?

However, as the spokesperson for the mother, there must always be someone to play this role. Ke Yanqing naturally doesn't mind putting in some effort to play the image of the Virgin Mary.

Obviously, Uncle Lin Han was successfully fooled by her saintly image.

Uncle Lin Han did not listen to Fentian's nonsense, nor did he plan to resurrect his daughter by killing people. Instead, he chose to report the matter to Plantagenet, wanting to ask Plantagenet for help in resurrecting his daughter, but he was afraid that Plantagenet would not care about his achievement at all.

So he chose to wait outside Queshen Mountain for three days and then go directly to Ke Yanqing.

The subtext is obvious. He wants her to come forward to help resurrect his daughter, which is a normal request for a father.

It seems that he still has some cleverness. Thinking of this, Ke Yanqing nodded and said in a gentle voice: "Okay, I understand your request."

"Don't worry. Since you have surrendered yourself and have no intention of harming me, I will resurrect your daughter. However, I will only do my best. Don't get your hopes up too much."

Ke Yanqing has always been good at playing the role of the Virgin Mary in front of these people of Huanshen, and her tone of voice is as gentle and soft as a spring breeze.

Uncle Lin Han raised his empty eyes sharply, and the endless expectation hidden in them instantly turned into surprise and joy.

He had actually already prepared for the worst.

But he didn't expect Ke Yanqing to really agree to this! This made him ecstatic and full of gratitude, and he bowed down to him!

But just as he knelt down tremblingly, the woman with the umbrella turned back to Jinque and disappeared.

Between heaven and earth, the thousands of rays of light in the upper and lower layers, like the red glow of the setting sun, became brighter and brighter.

The golden sparrow flapped its wings and chirped, flying towards the sky along the most conspicuous and majestic pillar of light between heaven and earth. The red-armored soldiers patrolling the surrounding clouds and mist stood up and shook their spears, stepping in unison and bowing their heads respectfully.

Passing through numerous blocked light gates, the golden sparrow flew straight into the sky and entered the upper level of the inverted palace city.

Xia Feng's vision suddenly shook. Looking up, he found that the continuous mountain range had turned into an inverted mountain.

He looked down again, and the magnificent interior of the holy palace came into view. It looked like the residence of gods, big and small, standing among the clouds.

An Xingjia looked down from the Golden Sparrow, his dark circles drooping as he yawned, "Finally I'm back."

As he spoke, he glanced at the woman holding an umbrella not far away. "Speaking of which, Lady Shiji, are you really going to help Uncle Lin Han resurrect his daughter? Even if there are rewards when the Ximing World enters the settlement phase, the price of resurrecting his daughter will probably be quite high."

The umbrella swayed, her delicate jaw lifted slightly, and she whispered softly with her red lips: "I know."

Xia Feng, standing by, was surprised. He hadn't expected this Miss Ke to actually be willing to help Uncle Lin Han. It seemed like this woman had a good heart.

"It's just a promise after all, and promises are the cheapest things in the world." The woman holding the umbrella spoke lightly, and her voice faded away with the wind.

"."Okay, Xia Feng decided to take back what he said before. What this woman meant was that although she agreed, she was not sure whether she would do it or not.

It's just a casual thing anyway.

How bad, just as bad as me, Xia Feng thought silently in his heart, his eyes gloomy.

He inexplicably thought of the scene when Lin Xi was tortured and killed by Nian Gengcheng and Uncle Lin Han roared heartbreakingly.

Whatever, the settlement reward is just so-so anyway, nothing good worth coveting for him, the Lord of Xumi Realm.

Xia Feng's thoughts wandered, and he thought that if there was a chance, he, Xia, would be the one to resurrect Lin Xi.

For Ke Yanqing, it was a "casual thing", and for Xia Feng, it was also a "casual thing".

However, under Huojin's rules, if one wanted to revive someone during the settlement phase, one would have to have killed at least one significant individual. Xia Feng narrowed his eyes. So, who should he kill?
