After ten years of cultivation, he finally achieved greatness in a single day. To break free from the shackles of his sect and find his long-awaited fiancée, he resolutely descended the mountain. U...
Chu Ruoxue doesn't only have this one thing to do every day. Although the Chu family is the leading family among the five major families in Yuzhou, the results are still not very good.
Now, Qin Yiheng's sudden interest in Luo Jinxiu and Qing Lingfeng is clearly not just a simple desire for cooperation.
Moreover, Jiang Yan had already discerned this from the words just spoken.
Most importantly, Qin Yiheng's attitude was not as calm as usual when he talked about these things.
Normally, whatever he says is completely unrelated to him; he is always so calm and indifferent. But now, there are many more emotions in his words.
Especially when Jiang Yan asked that question, Qin Yiheng's hands unconsciously twisted together. He was filled with trepidation as he approached home, and facing the truth, even Qin Yiheng could not remain calm enough.
This action speaks volumes.
Jiang Yan reached out and placed her hand on Qin Yiheng's hand, gently rubbing it, trying to soothe him.
Qin Yiheng sensed it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He gradually relaxed and took Jiang Yan's hand in return.
That's enough! With Jiang Yan, that's enough.
"What are the chances?" Jiang Yan asked softly, as if raising her voice even slightly would startle Qin Yiheng.
Even though she knew Qin Yiheng wasn't that fragile, Jiang Yan really didn't want to joke about this matter, so she was very serious.
She didn't know how Qin Yiheng's parents died, and Qin Yiheng hadn't explained it in detail. It was better not to mention such a painful thing, but not mentioning it didn't mean forgetting it.
Jiang Yan knew that it was because of the sudden changes in Qin Yiheng's parents that Qin Yiheng had been missing for so many years. She had even wondered if Qin Yiheng was already dead, and whether the waiting was still meaningful...
Fortunately, Qin Yiheng appeared unharmed and incredibly powerful, possessing a wealth of skills. But precisely because of this, he was even more determined to find the truth behind his parents' deaths and avenge them.
"Eighty percent... eighty-five percent!" Qin Yiheng originally only wanted to say eighty, but for some reason, he added five more.
He felt that there was no such coincidence in the world: his parents died at Qingling Peak, and Luo Jinxiu's father had just been there. He had even been seriously injured there and was healed by the Living Spring.
Then why weren't his parents healed by the living spring?
Is it because they couldn't find it?
Qin Yiheng didn't believe such a statement, because over the years, the information he had gleaned from the old man alone was enough to prove that his parents were not the kind of insignificant people who would be easily bullied.
So, no matter how you look at it, it feels eerie.
Qin Yiheng couldn't help but suspect that his parents had clashed with Luo Heshan over some matters, which was why Luo Heshan had targeted his parents.
Considering Luo Jinxiu's misinformation about herself, Luo Heshan is truly a man shrouded in suspicion, making it hard not to overthink things...
"How long will it take?" Jiang Yan asked, interrupting Qin Yiheng's thoughts.
"About a month." Qin Yiheng became serious and gave a very precise timeframe.
He then explained, “As you know, Luo Jinxiu’s relationship with Butler Luo is a bit tense right now, and she also suspects her father. So the two of us can’t be apart for too long. If Luo Heshan finds out, it won’t be a good thing, regardless of whether my parents’ death was related to him or not.”
Jiang Yan could completely understand this, which is why she didn't ask Qin Yiheng, "Why do you maintain a close relationship with Luo Jinxiu even though you know she might be the daughter of your parents' killer?"
"Is it just the two of you?" Jiang Yan asked again.
Qin Yiheng has always been very frank, but when this question came up, he hesitated slightly before gritting his teeth and saying, "Yes."
A lone man and a lone woman traveling together inevitably makes Jiang Yan feel uneasy.
So Qin Yiheng hurriedly added, "Qingling Peak is a very special place. It can't be found on any map. I suspect that some kind of formation has concealed its shape. So bringing too many people would make it easy to be exposed, and it's not very safe either. So the two of us have to go together."
Before Jiang Yan could even express her displeasure, Qin Yiheng had already persuaded her.
"Formation?"
Moreover, her attention was completely diverted. Just as Qin Yiheng nodded, wanting to explain in detail, Jiang Yan exclaimed again, "You also know about formations?"
After shouting, Jiang Yan realized how foolish her behavior was.
Qin Yiheng clearly knows everything, so why do you think he doesn't understand formations?
Jiang Yan was simply too surprised; following Qin Yiheng, she encountered all sorts of strange and wonderful things.
Just thinking about it makes her want to go, even if it's just to see what it's like—of course, Jiang Yan also has her own selfish reasons, which is to keep an eye on Qin Yiheng and Luo Jinxiu.
It's no wonder Jiang Yan overthinks things; who wouldn't be attracted to such an outstanding man as Qin Yiheng?
Although she believed that Qin Yiheng would not change his mind, and that everything she had was enough to make Qin Yiheng invest his feelings in her, there's always a chance of something going wrong...
"No, I meant, is there any great danger?" Jiang Yan waved her hand as if to shoo something away, and then hurriedly asked the question that concerned her.
"Danger will definitely exist, but as long as I'm here, nothing will happen," Qin Yiheng said with great certainty.
Many people thought he was exaggerating when he said that. He was incredibly arrogant, but few knew or believed that he was truly confident. Fortunately, Jiang Yan was one of them.
After saying all that, Jiang Yan had a clear idea of what was going on.
She felt there were no more questions she needed to ask. She knew all this, but she was just afraid that something might happen and she wouldn't be able to help Qin Yiheng if she didn't know anything.
But if I just give up and stop asking, it always feels like something is missing.
“I know the general location of Qingling Peak, so at the beginning, Luo Jinxiu and I will take a plane and a car there. Once we get close, we will start studying the formation,” Qin Yiheng suddenly said.
He knew what Jiang Yan was worried about, so he continued, "I said it would be about a month, but I will definitely be able to get back within that time. Besides, we can keep in touch by phone every day. Why are you making it sound like we're in the 1950s or 60s, when communication was difficult? Do we still need to write letters? Otherwise, I'll raise a carrier pigeon for the next couple of days?"
Jiang Yan was stunned by what he said, and then she realized that Qin Yiheng was just joking.
"Your joke isn't funny at all..." Jiang Yan looked at Qin Yiheng reproachfully.
