This is not the first time Xie Beiming has said this.
As early as when they were at the Jiang family in Jinyang, wave after wave of evil spirits broke into the Jiang family in a desperate attempt to snatch the head they brought back from Furong Town, Xie Beiming had said this to Shen Qiqi.
At that time, Shen Qiqi comforted him and said that it was impossible. If the evil monster in Furong Town was really Jiuying, it would be impossible for them, the younger generation, to kill it.
After all, Jiuying is a huge monster that can destroy the world. It provoked a great war with its demonic power. Even the emperor could only suppress the war by dying together. What about them, the younger generation who are not even high-level cultivators?
For this reason, Shen Qiqi gave the evil spirit in Furong Town the identity of a conjoined ghost.
But now Shen Qiqi is not sure.
Before she knew about the Emperor, she hadn't thought too much about it. But now that she knew, she couldn't help but recall the illusion she saw when she was fighting with the evil spirit in Furong Town.
She saw a lot of fire at that time.
All I could see was fire, like a sea of fire.
Maybe... that wasn't an illusion, but a memory from the Emperor's soul?
Shen Qiqi pondered for a moment and asked Xie Beiming, "What's your basis? Is it because Jiuying was buried in the blazing fire of the Emperor's Fire Lotus, and now my bloodline also has the power of the Fire Lotus, and the evil spirit in Furong Town happens to be very afraid of the power of the Fire Lotus?"
If this is used as the criterion, it is not impossible, but Shen Qiqi always feels that it is still a bit far-fetched.
Xie Beiming is a very cautious person. If he didn't have sufficient evidence, he wouldn't be so sure.
He should have other discoveries, Shen Qiqi wants to hear them.
As expected, Xie Beiming said, "It's not just these, but also how much your master, the Immortal Venerable Qiongcang, values that head."
"My master?" Shen Qiqi was stunned, not understanding how this matter was related to her own master again.
Xie Beiming saw the confusion in Shen Qiqi's eyes, and before she could ask, he took the initiative to talk about the involvement between the Emperor and Wu Qiongcang.
As for why he knew the secret between the two, Xie Beiming explained that he accidentally heard his master talking to himself about this past event.
Immortal Jade Abyss and her master have a very good personal relationship, otherwise they would never have gotten together to play chess.
It is possible that when Yuyuan Immortal Venerable was alone and reminiscing about Wuqiongcang's past, his disciple Xie Beiming happened to hear it.
Therefore, Shen Qiqi believed Xie Beiming's explanation, but she was deeply shocked.
She had never expected that her master was not only the Emperor's disciple, but also his lover. If the Emperor ever returned, should she call him "Grandmaster" or "Master's Wife"?
Shen Qiqi bit her finger, her black eyes rolling around. After a moment of hesitation, she suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "If the Emperor really returns, then can the Fire Lotus power in my blood be returned to its original owner?"
Although she can suppress the Fire Lotus now, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
After all, that thing's nourishment is human malice.
As long as she lives in this world, it is absolutely impossible to guarantee that everyone will like her.
What if one day she accidentally angered the public, and the world's disgust towards her surged like a tide? The fire lotus would absorb a large amount of nutrients and grow wildly, but her cultivation level would not be able to improve. The fire lotus would be strong, and she would be weak.
Once she couldn't keep up with the speed of the Fire Lotus, her body and meridians would not be able to bear the powerful force of the Fire Lotus, and she would be in trouble.
Especially when the last petal of the single heart bud blooms, the power it brings is definitely not something that a mortal body can bear.
Shen Qiqi didn't think she could shed her mortal body before the Fire Lotus's bud blossomed.
Shen Qiqi still has this self-awareness.
Therefore, although the Fire Lotus was of some benefit to her cultivation, Shen Qiqi still didn't want it.
It would be best to return the item to its original owner and return the power of the Fire Lotus to the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi said: "I will tell Master about this after he comes out of seclusion..."
"No!" Xie Beiming interrupted before Shen Qiqi could finish her words, and then explained under her suspicious gaze, "Under the circumstances where I cannot ensure your safety, you cannot tell your master about the Fire Lotus power in your blood."
Finally, Xie Beiming emphasized, "That would be very dangerous, do you understand?"
Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then she keenly caught the worry in Xie Beiming's eyes, and suddenly she realized why Xie Beiming said no.
Because the fire lotus power in her blood is the emperor's soul.
Who knows what effect taking away that spirit will have on her.
The most important thing is that it would be best if the Emperor could return. If the Emperor cannot return, and Wu Qiongcang knows that she has a wisp of the Emperor's soul left in her body, what if Wu Qiongcang uses the power of that soul to make her into the Emperor?
After all, she is just her master's apprentice, and the Emperor is her master's beloved, so it is indeed very dangerous and cannot be told.
After Shen Qiqi figured this out, she immediately nodded and promised Xie Beiming, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. I'll only tell you!"
Xie Beiming responded with a hug, whispered in her ear, and was about to say something else, but suddenly stopped and only reminded Shen Qiqi: "Someone is coming. Remember, just like before, hide well and don't let anyone find out. Everything will be decided after the Emperor returns."
"Yeah, I'll remember that." Shen Qiqi nodded. Not long after she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from far away, followed by a knock on the door.
