Qin Yousi was heartbroken beyond words!
Taoist Master Xiwei is a man of extraordinary talent. Although he is only thirty years old, he is one of the masters in the Taoist sect, and his future heights are immeasurable.
But it was such a person who had his twenty years of practice destroyed in an instant. How could Qin Yousi not feel regret, heartache, and resentment?
Taoist Xiwei patted Qin Yousi's hand and said slowly, "Don't get angry. Don't you know your body? What if you get angry and something happens? I can't save you now."
Qin Yousi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked, "Master, please don't change the subject. I must know the whole story!"
Taoist Xiwei could no longer hide it and had to tell her the whole story of the trip to the Nine Sects.
Taoist Priest Xiwei had never told Qin Yousi about her origins before, only that she had followed her master to the Liuquan Monastery to practice at the age of six. Now, when she wanted to talk about the Nine Sects, she had to bring up some old stories.
Taoist Xiwei was born in the Ke family of the capital, which is the mother's family of the former Queen Ke!
Since the fall of the previous dynasty, the Ke family has been left with many deaths, scattered movements, or even escaped. Little Xiwei and her mother are rescued by the Jiuyoutang, a spy organization of the previous dynasty. Her mother, a strikingly beautiful woman, becomes a maid for the Jiuyoutang to survive.
Qin Yousi was stunned. He never expected that Taoist Xiwei had such a close relationship with the previous dynasty!
Taoist Xiwei gave a wry smile, and to prevent Qin Yousi from overthinking it, he continued, "Although my mother worked for the Jiuyou Hall, she couldn't bear to see me go down this path of no return. When she was about to retreat, she was hunted down and killed by the Jiuyou Hall. I was saved from the Jiuyou Hall's knife by my master."
Qin Yousi didn't know that Taoist Xiwei's family affairs were so difficult and tragic, but he couldn't say anything to comfort him. After all, the Qin family was one of the main participants in the downfall of the previous dynasty and the Ke family!
Qin Yousi couldn't help but ask, "Master, you knew from the beginning that I was from the Qin family, why were you still willing to teach me everything you knew..."
Taoist Xiwei shook his head and said, "Fool, what does the change of dynasties have to do with you and me? What does the fall of the Ke family have to do with you? Even if I have a desire for revenge, it cannot be blamed on you."
Qin Yousi remembered that Baili Hongyuan had told her that the founders and elders of the Nine Sects all came from the Jiuyou Hall. It must be that Taoist Xiwei met someone from the Jiuyou Hall when he went to the Nine Sects.
When asked, Taoist Xiwei nodded and said, "Do you remember when you were little, I took you to Nanhua Mountain to visit an old friend named Ke Xian'er?"
Although Ke Xian'er and Taoist Xiwei are from the same clan, they are distant relatives within the fifth degree of mourning. When the Ke family in the capital was in trouble, Ke Xian'er's parents were not implicated.
After Taoist Xiwei became an adult, her reputation in the martial arts world gradually grew. Ke Xian'er resumed contact with her. Taoist Xiwei only regarded her as a scattered relative. Unexpectedly, Ke Xian'er had also joined Jiuyou Hall at some point.
This time, Taoist Master Xiwei went to the Nine Sects to look for the antidote for the withered blood poison. Firstly, she hoped that Ke Xian'er would help her find the antidote for the sake of her family; at the same time, she also wanted to ask her if she was being coerced by the Jiuyou Hall. If she was, she would rescue her.
"I was thinking of our bond as fellow clan members, but she discovered my connection with Baili Hongyuan and used the antidote to force me to inquire about the Supervisory Office for them."
Taoist Xiwei naturally refused to conspire with them, and then they robbed the medicine, were ambushed, and were "backstabbed" by Ke Xian'er's power dispersion.
"I was negligent in this matter. I wasn't wary of Ke Xian'er. I never imagined that the 'Dispersing Power Powder' she used on me would be so powerful, dissipating all my life's power in a single day. Fortunately, before the poison took effect, I ran into General Yin's men who were arriving in Nanzhou. With their help, I was able to escape."
After understanding the whole story, Qin Yousi felt a little relieved.
Since he has been poisoned by the "San Gong San", there is hope for detoxification. Perhaps there is still room for improvement in Master's condition.
But at the same time, she was also worried. "Ke Xian'er knows you are at Liuquan Temple. It's only a matter of time before she finds you here. You can't just sit here and wait for death. You must return to the capital with me as soon as possible."
Taoist Xiwei shook his head and said, "If I go to the capital now, won't it make things difficult for you and Lord Baili?"
Taoist Priest Xiwei was reluctant to go to the capital, primarily to avoid suspicion and to avoid being coerced by the Nine Nether Hall. She had to stay away from the capital and the Supervisory Office to avoid being implicated by Qin Yousi and Baili Hongyuan.
Qin Yousi said anxiously: "Master, don't worry too much, your safety is the most important!"
Taoist Priest Xiwei insisted, "Although the brothers in the temple are not top masters, if the people from Jiuyou Hall dare to find this place, they will not be able to escape unscathed. Besides, they ambushed me mainly to force me to serve as a spy for them, not to kill me."
Seeing her so determined, Qin Yousi knew that he couldn't force her, so he had to give up for the time being.
After talking to her for so long, the Taoist priest hoped that the effect of the medicine would gradually take effect and she would feel a little tired.
Qin Yousi helped her to sleep, then pondered for a moment before going outside to find Gu Wu and whispered, "Take my token and go down the mountain immediately to ask Liu Guang, the eldest daughter of the Oujiang Boat Gang, for help."
Qin Yousi whispered in Gu Wu's ear for a while. Gu Wu's face became increasingly worse. He hesitated and said, "If I go down the mountain, the young lady will only have a few ordinary secret guards by her side. I'm worried. If the governor knew, he would definitely blame me."
Qin Yousi advised: "There are other brothers in the temple, so they are safe for now, but sitting and waiting for death has never been my style. You should know that the plan I am talking about is the best one!"
Gu Wu knew that what she said was right, but she didn't dare to take any risks with Qin Yousi's safety.
After much deliberation, Gu Wu summoned his trusted secret guards before leaving the mountain and sent a secret letter to the capital without Qin Yousi's knowledge.
Qin Yousi's closest master was seriously injured. How could she bear this?
What's more, the Jiuyou Sect is pressing them step by step, so Qin Yousi naturally wants to turn the tables and settle accounts with the Jiuyou Sect.
What a coincidence, she has a little leverage over Jiuyoumen!
Qin Yousi thought about it all night, and Taoist Xiwei was also not idle. She didn't want Qin Yousi to stay in the mountain and take risks, so early in the morning she made an excuse to ask Qin Yousi to go down the mountain for help and wanted to send her away.
"If you stay with me on the mountain, you can't help me heal my wounds, and you can't protect me. It's better for us to wait at the foot of the mountain. If anyone from the Nine Sects surrounds or attacks the mountain, we can respond from both inside and outside."
What surprised Taoist Master Xiwei was that Qin Yousi did not argue with her this time. Instead, he accepted her advice and immediately ordered the guards to prepare to go down the mountain.
Taoist Priest Xiwei gave her a serious look, as if he could see through his disciple's inner thoughts, and asked, "What are you planning to do now?"
Qin Yousi smiled sweetly, served hot tea to Taoist Xiwei, and said confidently, "The Jiuyou Sect is the Qin family's defeated enemy. I have a way to deal with them! I haven't settled accounts with them yet. Since they are so reckless and have attacked you, don't blame me for settling accounts with them early."
Taoist Xiwei held her wrist anxiously and asked, "What are you planning? Ke Xian'er is quite capable, so don't act on impulse."
Qin Yousi rarely hides things from Taoist Xiwei, but some secrets can only be kept in her heart, and she can't even tell Baili Hongyuan.
"Master, rest assured and wait for my good news!"
After Qin Yousi came down from Liuquan Mountain, he went straight to Yangcheng, eighty miles away.
Yangcheng is not far from Nanhua Mountain and is the largest town in Dongzhou.
The last time he came to Yangcheng was for the Sang family's affairs. Now that he was revisiting the old place, time had passed and things had changed. Qin Yousi felt quite emotional.
There is a unique Qingxi Manor in Yangcheng, which is owned by Liuguang, the eldest daughter of the Oujiang Boat Gang.
Liuguang had received the message from Guwu and arrived in Yangcheng at the same time as Qin Yousi.
As soon as they met, Qin Yousi said apologetically, "Sister Liuguang, I'm sorry you had to travel so long to come here."
Liuguang smiled and said, "What a coincidence! I was on my way to Liuquan Mountain when your people found me. Fuying heard that it was the Nine Sects who had attacked Taoist Xiwei, and he was worried that you would be targeted as well. You don't know that the Nine Sects have become increasingly despicable in recent years, and their reputation in the martial arts world is infamous."
Qin Yousi said gratefully, "With you guys taking such trouble for me, nothing will happen to me. I'm sure you've heard about my master. Her skills were completely destroyed by Ke Xian'er. I can't swallow this."
Liuguang had been saved by Taoist Xiwei when he was young, so naturally he felt a sense of sympathy towards the enemy. He said angrily, "Even if you don't speak up, we, the Oujiang Boat Gang, will avenge the Taoist!"
Qin Yousi knew this very well, so he dared to bother them, so he asked, "Has the challenge been sent to the Nine Sects?"
If a martial arts sect wants to challenge someone to a fight, they can issue a challenge publicly. If they do not accept the challenge, they will be regarded as cowardly and their sect will be ridiculed.
Qin Yousi didn't want to waste manpower to find out where the people they were chasing were, so he chose to challenge them openly.
Liu Guang said, "I sent someone to deliver it urgently last night. It will be delivered to the nine sect leaders today. Once the challenge is delivered, I will spread the news. I'm not afraid that they won't accept the challenge!"
After she finished speaking, she said to Qin Yousi with a hint of worry, "Although the Ninth Sect's leader, Xia Lieyun, may not act quite rightly, he is indeed a formidable martial artist. I am no match for him. Although I sent an urgent message to the gang yesterday, asking the elders to come and help me, I'm not sure if they will be able to make it in time."
Qin Yousi smiled and said, "How can I let you really fight him? As long as Xia Lieyun comes to Yangcheng, I will take care of the rest."
Liuguang quickly shook his head and said, "No! You still think you are the same as before. Your current small body can't withstand his palm!"
Qin Yousi stretched out her little hand, waved it in front of Liuguang, pinched it, and said with a smile: "I'm pinching his pigtail!"
Liuguang smiled and said, "That's what I told you. You asked me to challenge you, and I thought you were just acting on impulse."
Everything was ready, so the two of them waited in Yangcheng, eating and drinking peacefully, and inspecting the property they had recovered from the Sang family.
Two days later, in the evening, the two men were returning from a full meal at the restaurant. As soon as they got off the carriage, they heard a powerful voice shouting from the air: "You little girl, you dare to imitate others and insult my Nine Sects by issuing a challenge? Don't blame me for bullying you today!"
A strong wind blew in his face. Liuguang was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed Qin Yousi's waist and leaped out, barely avoiding a broad sword flying in the air.
The huge sword smashed into the stone brick floor and penetrated into the ground, causing the surrounding bricks to crack, which was enough to show the power of the sword.
"Old Xia, just accept the challenge, why are you launching a sneak attack?" Liuguang said sarcastically without losing the upper hand.
"Hmph, I've personally shown up and given the Oujiang Boat Gang enough respect. If you know your place, retreat when you know the odds are against you, injure your own arm, and publicly apologize to the Nine Sects, then this matter will be over! If you really want to fight me, your life will be in danger. Don't blame me then."
In Xia Lieyun's eyes, Liuguang seemed like a dead person, but he didn't want to make a mortal enemy with the Oujiang Boat Gang, so he wanted to scare her away.
But Liuguang had seen all kinds of turmoil since he was a child, so how could he be scared by a few words? Just as he was about to retort sarcastically, Qin Yousi pressed his waist.
