Chapter 272 Black Steel
"Child...you've suffered a lot over the years..." Lu Sicong's eyes were red again.
Jingyao shook her head and whispered:
"It turns out that I was not sold by my parents. This is so great..."
"Of course not! If Dad had known that I had such a good daughter like you, I would have found you even if you had to go to the ends of the earth!" Lu Sicong choked.
Luo Ying sighed and said softly:
"Yao'er, come, follow me and kowtow to our benefactor."
Jingyao nodded, and followed her to bow to Yun Qingqing, and Lu Sicong also bowed down.
Luo Ying's eyes were full of smiles as she said:
"The one I'm most worried about down there is Yao'er. The judge said long ago that her life is miserable and she is destined to fall into prostitution. Fortunately, someone saved her from the hell. Now I can finally rest assured."
"I cannot repay your kindness, please accept my three bows!"
The family bowed solemnly three times. Yun Qingqing did not refuse. After receiving the three bows, she took Jingyao's hand and stood up.
She turned her gaze to Luo Ying and Lu Sicong, smiled calmly and said:
"It's not that I can't repay you. There is something I really need your help with."
The two of them immediately showed relief and nodded without hesitation:
"Please speak, benefactor!"
"As long as you give me the order, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"It's not that serious," Yun Qingqing said with a smile, "What I need is the list that each of you has passed down from your elders."
They were both stunned and couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes suddenly becoming complicated.
"I do have a list here..." Lu Sicong murmured.
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"That was entrusted by your biological father to your adoptive father, who later gave it to you. Your adoptive father didn't know what it was used for. I think you may have discovered some clues over the years, but the time was not right, and you never figured it out."
Lu Sicong nodded repeatedly, looked at Luo Ying and said:
"You also... have the same thing?"
Luo Ying was also looking at him intently, and her expression suddenly became somewhat complicated:
"So... Ah Cong, you..."
She suddenly looked at Yun Qingqing for help, her face turning pale.
"Don't worry," Yun Qingqing said, "Jingyao and I are destined to be together, and I will protect her."
Luo Ying slowly let out a sigh of relief and said without further hesitation:
"Okay! I think it's more appropriate to hand this thing over to my benefactor than to anyone else! Then I'll entrust it to my benefactor!"
Lu Sicong listened to the confusing conversation between the two and wondered:
"Yingying, do you know what this list is used for?"
Luo Ying's expression paused slightly, and she looked to Yun Qingqing for help again. Seeing Yun Qingqing nodded, she began to explain:
"In fact, what we have in our hands is only half of the list. When the two are combined, it becomes an extremely important material formula."
"You only need to know these. As for the rest... for your and Yao'er's sake, it's better not to ask."
Lu Sicong frowned and remained silent.
Yun Qingqing saw this and said:
"When the time is right, you will know. There is no point in thinking about it now."
Lu Sicong looked at Jingyao beside him, let out a long sigh, and nodded:
"Your Excellency is right. I just want to live a down-to-earth life with Yao'er. I'll leave the list to you."
He looked at Luo Ying again and buried the other words in his heart.
Just wait until the end of my life, and then I will rush to Naihe Bridge to go to the next life with her hand in hand.
The lists of both of them were passed down orally and were only remembered in their minds. Yun Qingqing first installed a soundproof barrier in the room, then took out a pen and paper and asked Lu Sicong to write down his list first, and then asked him to write down what Luo Ying had said orally.
After doing all this, the formation's maintenance time is almost up.
Luo Ying smiled and looked at the father and daughter outside the formation:
"Death does not mean the end of the world. As long as you are doing well, I will be at peace down there."
Lu Sicong looked at her deeply and said solemnly:
"Yingying, wait for me."
"Don't worry, mother. A-Yao will take good care of father." Jingyao's eyes were a little red. She felt reluctant, but she was still very obedient and told her not to worry.
Luo Ying's eyes also turned red, and her figure finally disappeared gradually.
Yun Qingqing then looked at Old Lady Zhao again and said calmly:
"Now, have you thought about how to deal with her?"
Lu Sicong clenched his fist and closed his eyes:
"Send him to the officials."
Old Mrs. Zhao shouted in horror:
"No! You can't do this to me! After all, I am your mother in name only! Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back?"
However, Lu Sicong was unwilling to even give her a glance, and let Nan Zheng command the secret guards to carry the man away.
Old Mrs. Zhao was being held up and still yelling:
"You can't do this! Do you have any evidence that I killed someone? Without evidence, the government won't believe you!"
Yun Qingqing sneered:
"I advise you to tell the truth when you get to the government office. After all, if you don't get judged for the evil you did in the living world, when you get to hell, you'll be beaten to a pulp, boiled in oil, and your tongue will be pulled out and your skin peeled off. You deserve double the punishment!"
Old Mrs. Zhao's voice was stuck in her throat.
She never believed in ghosts and gods before. If someone had told her these words, she would have just sneered and ignored them.
However, today she saw with her own eyes the spirit of Luo Ying, whom she had killed, appear, and it was no longer possible for her to ignore the theories of ghosts and gods.
She suddenly felt as if her spine was pulled and she went limp. She was dragged out trembling all over.
After everything was settled, Yun Qingqing put away the complete list and smiled at Xiao Changheng:
"I got what you wanted."
Xiao Changheng had already guessed it, and when he heard her say that, he hummed thoughtfully.
Nan Zheng was surprised and said:
"You mean the list? But aren't we looking for Black Steel? Why is it such a complicated list?"
He always thought that what he was looking for was a metal material, so he ran all over the iron market and blacksmith shops of all sizes in Pingzhou. He never expected that the so-called black steel would appear in the form of a list.
Lu Sicong listened to their conversation and suddenly realized something:
"I have never known the purpose of this list. I think one reason is that I only have half of it, and the other reason is that I have never heard of such a thing as 'Black Steel' until someone came to ask about it a few days ago. I guess... those are also your benefactors?"
Yun Qingqing didn't comment, looked at him and said:
"So now you have guessed the purpose of this list?"
Lu Sicong nodded:
"If I'm not mistaken, Black Steel is not a natural metal. Instead, it needs to be refined and synthesized using the things on this list."
Nan Zheng suddenly realized:
"I see! No wonder this thing is so hard to find, it's hidden too deep!"
Not only does it require such a complex list of materials to smelt, but the list is also divided into two halves and passed down in the hands of different people!
But no one expected that things would be so coincidental that the two heirs of the Black Steel Half List would become husband and wife by accident.
And his wife had long passed away... Nan Zheng was extremely grateful at this moment. If it weren't for the princess, he would never have been able to find Xuan Gang's whereabouts even if he turned the entire continent upside down!
Nan Zheng silently reaffirmed his resolve, which he had already made.
The princess' thighs must be held tightly!
He couldn't help but secretly glance at his master, feeling a little complicated.
My master, you must please coax the princess and don't let her ask for a divorce again!
After the matter was done, several people left the room one after another.
Yun Qingqing was about to ask about Lu Sicong and his daughter's future plans when suddenly her expression froze and she raised her hand and threw out a talisman.
There was a sharp sound, and suddenly a sneer came from the air!
