Xie Chennan released the hand that was holding Qin Shu's pulse and looked up at Xie Lanzhi, whose face was as gloomy as water.
"Dad, Mom's health is very bad."
"Yes, I know—"
Xie Lanzhi laid Qin Shu flat on the bed and bent down to kiss her on the forehead.
He turned his head and asked Qin Hairui: "Where is Lingxi?"
Qin Hairui seemed to have thought of something, his eyebrows moved slightly: "I'll take you to find him!"
Xie Lanzhi patted Xie Chennan on the shoulder and ordered in a low voice: "Guard your mother, don't let anyone get close, wait for me to come back."
"Yeah!" Xie Chennan nodded vigorously.
Inside Lingxi's tent.
Xu Yangxia sat on the small stool with a frustrated look on his face and said solemnly: "I always feel like something is going to happen."
Lingxi looked up at the night sky outside and sighed, "Something has happened."
Qin Shu's life or death is unknown, the Emperor Star is weak, and the secret cave is about to open. These things are terrifying when you think about them carefully.
Xu Yangxia clasped his hands on his knees and asked with a frown, "Master Lingxi, did you notice the fluctuations in spiritual power during the day?"
When Qin Shu got into trouble, he clearly felt the fluctuations of spiritual energy filled with murderous intent in the air.
Lingxi nodded: "I noticed it. Qin Shu must have had an accident at that time."
Xu Yangxia asked: "Who could it be? With such a strong spiritual power fluctuation, even my master can't be his opponent."
"You ask me?" Lingxi raised her eyebrows, chuckled and shook her head: "I still want to know."
Xu Yangxia smiled bitterly: "What I am most worried about now is that there are old monsters practicing in the secret cave. If this is true, once we step into the secret realm, everyone will surely die."
Lingxi suppressed all her expressions: "No way."
His scalp went numb when he thought that there might be other practitioners in the secret realm.
Xu Yangxia shrugged casually: "Who knows? I just said it casually."
Lingxi rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "You'd better stop talking like that. I remember your master said you have a bad mouth. If you really guessed it right, we will be dead or skinned."
Xu Yangxia's face was tense: "No more talking, let's take it one step at a time, I don't know how badly Madam Xie is injured."
Lingxi glanced at the faint starlight that was being guarded beside the Emperor Star in the night sky.
He said: "He was seriously injured and only had one breath left."
From the corner of Lingxi's eye, she saw a group of people walking quickly towards them. The person leading the group was tall and straight, eclipsing everyone around him. He had an introverted and noble air about him.
Lingxi sighed softly in her heart - she finally found it.
"Friend Xu, I have guests here, so I won't entertain you."
Xu Yangxia saw Xie Lan and his group walking quickly towards him, so he stood up and clasped his fists, "I'll take my leave first."
When Xu Yangxia left, he passed by Xie Lanzhi.
Xie Lan paused slightly, his frown deepening.
He turned around and stared at Xu Yangxia's back, with a wary gleam in his eyes - there was something wrong with this guy!
Xie Lanzhi couldn't tell what was wrong with Xu Yangxia, but the crisis that suddenly surged into his mind made him doubt Xu Yangxia.
"Brother Lan, what's wrong?"
Amuti noticed that Xie Lanzhi was in a bad mood and asked in a low voice.
"It's okay." Xie Lanzhi shook his head and continued walking.
Lingxi walked out of the tent and came to greet him personally: "Mr. Xie, we meet again."
Xie Lanzhi nodded slightly and explained his purpose directly: "I have something to ask the master. I met an old senior a few days ago. He knew what happened to Ah Shu and said something that I didn't quite understand. I hope the master can help me solve my doubts."
Lingxi nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. I am not very knowledgeable, but I will do my best to serve you."
Xie Lanzhi stood in front of the tent and winked at Amuti, who immediately dispersed quickly with his guards.
Xie Lanzhi, Qin Hairui and Lingxi stood in the center of the protection circle.
"A senior said that Ah Shu is bound by the rules of this world, and I need to exchange her fate with the Emperor Star, so that she can escape and no longer be imprisoned by this world..."
Before Xie Lanzhi finished speaking, Lingxi's hair stood on end.
It really exploded.
Each strand of hair is clearly separated, as if generating static electricity and soaring straight into the sky.
Xie Lanzhi: “…”
Qin Hairui: “…”
"Ahem!" Qin Hairui couldn't help but almost laughed out loud.
Lingxi had a serious face like a master and a very afro hair, which was very incongruous.
Xie Lanzhi pursed his lips tightly and said in a deep voice: "Master, what's this?"
Lingxi protected her hair with both hands and pressed it down hard, and explained very quickly: "It's okay, it's normal. I was forced to know some unknown things. It's a warning reminder of this world."
His voice sounded quite calm.
Xie Lanzhi and Qin Hairui sensed nervousness and a hint of... excitement!
After Lingxi tidied her hair, her face looked a little flushed with excitement.
He coughed lightly and stared at Xie Lanzhi with sparkling eyes.
"I think that senior you met was telling the truth. Tsk! Why didn't I think of that?"
"Mrs. Xie's fate is to step on yin and yang. When she met an emperor star like Mr. Xie, the two of them have a deep bond and their fates have merged into one."
"If you want to save Madam Xie, Mr. Xie is willing to use the supreme and noble fate of the Supreme Emperor Star to exchange for Madam Xie's lifelong safety!"
Xie Lanzhi stared at Lingxi with his deep eyes: "What should I do?"
Lingxi asked doubtfully: "Didn't that senior teach you?"
Xie Lanzhi shook his head: "No."
Lingxi sighed, pondered for a moment, and slowly said: "Any place that is worshipped with incense is the rule of this world. The most direct way is for Mr. Xie to kowtow with every step, and then everything he asks for will be granted."
After listening for a long time, Qin Hairui frowned and asked, "You mean to ask my brother-in-law to go to the temple and kowtow?"
All places where incense is offered are temples and Taoist temples.
Lingxi smiled and said, "Not bad."
Qin Hairui thought about his own ancestral hall and curled his lips and said, "Can temples and Taoist temples bear his kneeling and worship? When Xie Lanzhi was worshipping the ancestors of my Qin family, strange phenomena appeared in the sky and the tablets in the ancestral hall fell down. It was obvious that they did not agree with his kneeling and kowtowing."
When Lingxi heard this, her eyebrows slightly raised: "Emperor Star is not an ordinary person. If you receive his worship, it will not only consume your lifespan, but also your lifetime merits. Even if you die, your Yin virtues will be consumed."
Qin Hairui was speechless, thinking - no wonder our ancestors were so resistant.
Xie Lanzhi humbly asked: "If I just kneel down and kowtow, can I save Ah Shu?"
Lingxi saw that he did not resist and nodded, "If you are sincere, your wish will come true."
The rules of heaven and earth collide with the imperial star.
This is a game of unknown energy and evenly matched forces.
Xie Lanzhi stood there for a long time: "...Okay, I understand. Thank you Master Lingxi."
Lingxi waved her hand: "Thank you, Mr. Xie. I didn't help you much. But I wonder who the senior you met is?"
