"Yes." Qi Jincheng gave her an affirmative answer.
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi unconsciously swallowed and asked, "Is he related to Yan Luoheng?"
“They are of the same generation,” Qi Jincheng told her solemnly. “Yan Luoheng is Wen Luotian’s eldest grandson.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xi was completely stunned. This legendary figure was actually connected to someone close to her.
But there was one thing she couldn't understand: "Isn't Yan Luoheng's surname Yan?"
Qi Jincheng said calmly, "Wen Luotian's original surname is Yan; Wen is just a surname used in the underworld."
So it turns out that Wen Luotian is just a stage name?
Qiao Xi nodded, clearly understanding, and said, "I see."
Qi Jincheng continued, "Wen Luotian has two sons. The eldest son is Yan Luoheng's father, and the second son is Yan Luoheng's uncle. Logically, the person who should have inherited Wen Luotian's position should have been Yan Luoheng's father, but in the end, it was his uncle who sat in that chair."
"It was from that time that the era of Wen Luotian came to an end; he disappeared without a trace, but in reality..."
At this point, Qi Jincheng paused before continuing, "Yan Luoheng personally killed his uncle and his two younger brothers, purged all those who did not support him, and established a brand new 'Wen Luotian.' No one knows of their existence, but no one has the right to stop them from doing what they want to do."
"You can think of them as the current Heavenly Slaughter Sect."
In order to help Qiao Xi better understand Yan Luoheng's power, Qi Jincheng brought up the 'Heavenly Slaughter Sect' as a comparison.
However, back then, the Heavenly Slaughter Sect didn't exist, and even if it did, it wouldn't be qualified to compare with 'Wen Luotian'.
Qiao Xi immediately understood and said, "So, the current Yan Luoheng is the same person as Wen Luotian back then."
Qi Jincheng smiled at her and added, "He doesn't even consider Wen Luotian a threat."
This answer made Qiao Xi's heart skip a beat. She knew that Yan Luoheng was a person of status, but she did not expect him to be so capable.
"Wouldn't it be very dangerous for Ninth Master to get involved with him?" Qiao Xi was even more worried about Jun Jiuge.
Qi Jincheng gently patted her back, comforting her, "That depends on what kind of relationship you have."
"Could Ninth Master be at the Jun family's house?" Qiao Xi almost forgot that she was the third young lady of the Jun family. Maybe she was recuperating at home. She was just overthinking it.
"The Jun family is also looking for her." Qi Jincheng dashed Qiao Xi's last hope.
But Qiao Xi was not discouraged. She believed that Ninth Master would be alright. "Then we need to find her quickly."
"Don't worry," Qi Jincheng reassured her, holding her tightly.
Qiao Xi took the opportunity to climb onto Qi Jincheng, then straddled his waist and leaned down to tease him.
Normally, if Qiao Xi showed even the slightest interest, Qi Jincheng would immediately cater to her. But this time, he didn't budge and let her perform a one-woman show.
Qiao Xi suddenly exclaimed with a look of disappointment and dejection, "It's over, it's over, A Jin has lost interest in me now."
Qi Jincheng suppressed his desire and said helplessly, "If Xi'er doesn't go down soon, I really won't be able to control myself."
"It's perfectly legitimate and aboveboard, why do we need to control it?" Qiao Xi pouted, not understanding.
Qi Jincheng took a deep breath and suppressed his desire again. He slowly sat up straight, pinched Qiao Xi's nose affectionately, and said, "Xi'er's body has just recovered."
"I'm fine now." Qiao Xi started unbuttoning his clothes.
Qi Jincheng stopped her again, "I'll give you one more day to rest."
“I want it,” Qiao Xi said decisively.
Having finally gotten through her period, she couldn't help feeling a bit restless.
Qi Jincheng found it hard to refuse her direct invitation, but when he thought about her health condition, he dared not make a move on her.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Qiao Xi continued to encourage him, "It's okay if it takes a little less time."
"How long?" Qi Jincheng asked seriously.
Qiao Xi held up her finger and asked, "Ten minutes?"
This moment completely poured cold water on Qi Jincheng, and it was written all over his face.
Qiao Xi also felt that the time was too short, it was over before it even started, so she added a little more, "Fifteen minutes?"
"Twenty minutes?"
Adding five minutes at a time only intensified Qi Jincheng's desire. Helpless, he said to Qiao Xi, "Xi'er probably doesn't understand her own charm very well."
Qiao Xi pouted innocently and said, "I thought it was okay, but you were worried I'd get tired, so I..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qi Jincheng could no longer resist and pressed her down beneath him, wanting to kiss her lips. "Tell me if you're tired."
"Okay." Qiao Xi cooperated by wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his lips.
The duration wasn't much different from usual, maybe a little shorter, but it wasn't because Qiao Xi was tired; it was because Qi Jincheng didn't want her to work too hard, so he ended it early.
But afterwards, Qiao Xi still couldn't fall asleep at all. Although she was physically exhausted, the events of that day kept replaying in her mind.
Looking back now, it's truly terrifying. If she had really died there, with no afterlife and no chance to be reborn, she would never have seen him again, and he would surely have missed her terribly.
Qi Jincheng realized she wasn't asleep yet, so he gently pulled her into his arms, saying, "Xi'er."
Qiao Xi turned to face Qi Jincheng, looking at him with deep affection, and said softly, "That day I also thought I would never see you again. In the last second before I lost consciousness, you were all I could think about. But I also felt that I had no regrets. In this life, I got everything I wanted, except..."
"Besides what?" Qi Jincheng unconsciously hugged her tighter, as if afraid that she would disappear if she wasn't careful.
Not only was Qiao Xi afraid, but he was even more afraid. He couldn't imagine what he would do without her.
If she had never appeared in his world, he could have continued living as before, but now he can't. He's used to having her by his side, used to her calling him "Ah Jin" over and over again.
He couldn't accept losing something he had once possessed.
Qiao Xi thought for a moment and decided not to tell him about her desire for revenge. She said with great affection, "I can't continue walking hand in hand with you and grow old together."
"I will never let Xi'er be in danger again." Qi Jincheng swore on his own life that he would never let her be in danger again, and even if she were in real danger, he would stay by her side.
Qiao Xi didn't want to say anything more. She also assured Qi Jincheng, "I promise you, I will protect myself, and... I can also protect you."
