Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Your husband is not that kind of person
"I'll have Ling Huan come over and go with you." Qin Sheng finally resisted the urge to ask.
He didn't originally regret not being able to kiss her or anything like that, but the main reason was that Xu Zhaoyi suddenly became cautious. This change came without any warning, which made him a little confused.
But in the end, his rationality prevailed. In this situation, the best solution was to let Xu Zhaoyi digest these emotions on his own.
Xu Zhaoyi didn't realize that his accidental kiss would cause the other party to think so much. He nodded with a smile.
[Will his coming draw the two Qing dynasty men out of the woods? If we run into them head-on, I'm afraid there's no way to end things peacefully. I'll have to fight with all my might.]
Generally speaking, fluctuations are not only caused when using mana. Between foundation building stages, there will also be a sense of the presence of a strong person nearby.
[No.] Qin Sheng said meaningfully: [I'm sure before he took action, not only those at the Foundation Establishment stage, but even those at the Golden Core stage couldn't sense him.]
[Why?] Xu Zhaoyi was curious, and only then did he remember to add: [Can you tell me?]
[I told you the reason a long time ago.]
Qin Sheng would naturally tell him that he had brought the topic here just for the purpose of saying this.
"He's in poor health, and his spiritual roots haven't even awakened yet. Just imagine, if such a powerful cultivation was stored within his meridians, wouldn't he have exploded and died long ago?"
Xu Zhaoyi's heart tightened at his unrefined choice of words. He closed his eyes before calming down and thinking, "You said he used some technological means, so his cultivation is actually stored outside of his body. As long as he doesn't take action, others will see him as an ordinary person?"
After he finished speaking, he himself felt it was outrageous. What kind of cyber practice was this? It was like refining an account in a game. It was too unbelievable.
He complained in his heart, but he didn't let his worries stop him. He moved to sit next to Qin Sheng and started the health scan again. He had done this many times after he accidentally discovered that Qin Sheng and Ling Huan were the same person, but how could he say it...
In fact, he has been wavering between the two perceptions of 'Qin Sheng is in the foundation-building stage' and 'Qin Sheng is indeed in poor health'. He can neither be completely relieved because of the former, nor as for the latter, he always has a feeling that it may not be that serious, after all, it is the feeling of the foundation-building stage.
This was partly due to his escapist mentality. He was just not willing to face the fact that Qin Sheng's body was actually shaky and could collapse at any time.
But now that Qin Sheng explained it so clearly, his cultivation was like a game plug-in. No matter how strong he was in the game, it had nothing to do with his body in real life.
Xu Zhaoyi finally understood it thoroughly, which meant that he could no longer escape.
Looking at the unchanging scan results and the judgment of Qin Sheng's weak body, realizing that Qin Sheng might really come true as the excuse he gave to Qin Xing, a constant wave of panic and fear swept over him, making him unable to help but turn sideways and hug the still living person in his arms, not wanting to let go.
"What's wrong?" Qin Sheng guessed what he was thinking. Because his wife was becoming increasingly undisguised, he couldn't bring himself to hug her back, lest he give her the wrong hint. He could only raise his hand and pat his head to comfort her.
Xu Zhaoyi was in a low mood and didn't even have the energy to protest when Qin Sheng did such a teasing thing to him again.
He asked gloomily: "Ling Huan's magical powers are so great that he can even use cheats for himself. Is there no way he can heal you?"
If Ling Huan and Qin Sheng are not the same person, this statement would be a bit unreasonable.
Qin Sheng smiled upon hearing this: "My poor health isn't due to any terminal illness. Even if he could collect all the treasures in the world, it would only be a temporary solution, not a cure. So..."
He paused, then said: [The person who is truly trying to heal me now is you.]
After hearing these words, Xu Zhaoyi was almost coaxed into a fetus. His heart beat faster and faster, and Qin Sheng could definitely feel it from the close posture of the two of them.
"If you don't want to respond, stop teasing me!" He said unhappily to ease his embarrassment, and then he closed his arms and hugged her a little tighter.
[I didn't.] Qin Sheng's sophistry was weak and powerless. Only he felt that he was just stating the facts. Was it his fault for speaking in a nice way?
[Heh.] Xu Zhaoyi didn't even bother to talk about him.
Both of them tacitly turned to the main topic.
Qin Sheng glanced at him and said, "We don't know exactly what's going on in the forbidden area. When the time comes, focus on protecting yourself. Ling Huan is capable of self-preservation, so you don't need to worry about him. Do you understand?"
Xu Zhaoyi was silent for a long time before agreeing.
When it was almost nightfall, Qin Kangnian took his men to attend the auction. The whole Qin family became much quieter. The old man did not relax his surveillance on Gu Qingyue, but Gu Qingyue dared to enter the Tiger School alone, and it was indeed not without any support.
Noodles discovered that he actually knew the art of soul-stealing, which allowed him to temporarily make people lose their minds through eye contact. He used this method to exchange identities with the guards who were responsible for keeping watch over him!
Obviously, Gu Qingyue also felt that tonight was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but he also insisted on his original intention. He did not go to any forbidden place. Instead, he knocked the guard unconscious and left him in the room. Then he wore the guard's clothes and went straight to Qin Sheng's room unhindered.
This was not part of Qin Sheng's plan. His original idea was to do it as stealthily as possible and then shift the blame after alerting others. He didn't expect Gu Qingyue to insist on delivering himself to him.
Tsk, that’s not impossible.
Qin Sheng asked Noodles to switch into a skunk vest, and then took Xu Zhaoyi to the balcony. Gu Qingyue quietly unlocked the door and came in, but before he could see anything, he was knocked unconscious by a fart coming towards him.
The two people on the balcony looked at each other. Xu Zhaoyi didn't say anything polite like "wait for me to come back". Anyway, they would meet again at the Luoxing Lake soon. He went back to the room, covering his nose, and left with the unconscious Gu Qingyue in his arms.
There were patrols inside the Qin family at night, but the people below didn't think that anyone dared to cause trouble in the Qin family, and their vigilance was not high. Xu Zhaoyi easily avoided them in the cover of night and came to the entrance of Hanyan Luoxing without using any magic power.
Of course, to be on the safe side, he used Su Cizhao's clothes, so even if he was discovered, no one would suspect him.
When they arrived at Luoxing Lake, Ling Huan was already waiting there with two sets of clothes that looked like diving equipment.
Not seeing any noodles around him, Xu Zhaoyi thought it was inconvenient to go into the water, so he changed into a small vest and hid himself.
[Host, although Gu Qingyue didn't see you before he fainted, he did faint in your room. Once he's caught by the Qin family, and both sides are involved, you'll definitely be exposed!]
In fact, the noodles in Qin Sheng's mind were thinking about how to instigate his host to pick up a stone and beat the guy surnamed Gu into a mental retard.
Qin Sheng replied casually: [Don't worry, I don't plan to let him live until tomorrow.]
If Gu Qingyue hadn't come to his room tonight, Qin Sheng wouldn't have wanted him to die, but it had to be tonight, and he couldn't let Gu Qingyue ruin his plans, so he could only knock him out.
In this case, just like what Noodles said, Gu Qingyue will suspect him no matter what. If he doesn't kill him quickly, will he be kept alive until the New Year?
Xu Zhaoyi took the diving suit Qin Sheng handed to him and put it on. He found that it was very different from what he had imagined. It would be more appropriate to call it a waterproof suit.
There are magical fluctuations on the clothes, which should mainly serve as a waterproof function. As for oxygen equipment, there is no such equipment, as they don't need it anyway.
After changing his clothes, he made a gesture to Qin Sheng and went into the water first. No one knew what Qin Sheng had done to the clothes, but the little fish monsters all scrambled to swim away from him.
Qin Sheng caught up a while later. The two of them were positioned one in front of the other, which made it convenient for Xu Zhaoyi, who was returning to the old place, to lead the way.
Soon the two arrived at the entrance to the forbidden area. In fact, this place was not hidden at the bottom of the lake. A layer of barrier isolating the lake water was in the center of the lake. It was just that the lake was deep and there were so many fish monsters in it that no one discovered it.
In his previous life, Xu Zhaoyi passed through the entrance without any movement. This time it should be purely separated by water, so he reached out and grabbed Qin Sheng, taking him across the barrier and into the forbidden area.
The first feeling of both of them was that their eyes went dark. At least there was some moonlight at the bottom of the lake. Once they stepped into the forbidden area, it was so dark that they couldn't see their hands in front of them. There was no light at all. They could only feel endless coldness. This place was filled with the pure yin energy that the Transformation Wheel Array needed.
Fortunately, the eyes of Noodles' cub vest can be used as searchlights. As soon as it appears, the surrounding scene can be seen clearly.
After taking off the cumbersome waterproof suit, Xu Zhaoyi also took off his mask.
He looked at the burial ground that he had not seen clearly in his previous life, and his mood was a little complicated. Qin Sheng, who noticed this slight change in his expression, felt his heart tighten, and he clenched his hand even tighter when he wanted to let go.
——Will his wife not let new and old grudges come to her mind at this time and bring up old grudges on the spot?
Of course not. Qin Sheng still underestimated the value of a love-brained person.
Because the next thing Xu Zhaoyi thought about was that Qin Sheng's soul had been trapped here for who knows how many years. The thirty years of reincarnation were just a blink of an eye as he endured the cruel lie of his loved ones that he was "going out for a walk" with a broken body.
When he thought of the unknown forbidden formation with the endless karmic fire burning his soul, he couldn't help but feel angry.
It's another day when I want to slaughter my beloved's entire family.
The family of three walked forward as if they were taking a stroll in the park after dinner. Qin Sheng held his wife's hand and didn't dare to let go. He didn't care about wearing Ling Huan's vest at this moment, and Xu Zhaoyi simply ignored this point.
Soon, they came to a narrow crevice. Xu Zhaoyi touched the stone wall to confirm that he had walked here before, and had to let go of their tightly clasped hands.
"There is no other way, we can only go through here." He was a little embarrassed when he said this, because it was only then that he suddenly realized that the person next to him was wearing Ling Huan's vest, and he had been holding hands with Ling Huan for so long. Would Qin Sheng misunderstand that he wanted to have two girlfriends at the same time?
Qin Sheng took a look and saw that this place was indeed only accessible to one person. He nodded and said, "I'll go in front, and you hold the noodles behind. No matter what happens, don't let go of the noodles."
"What about you?" Xu Zhaoyi was worried.
Qin Sheng said: "Noodles and I have a special connection, so it doesn't matter if there is no physical contact."
"……good."
We continued forward as Qin Sheng said. The stone wall was narrow and the path was a staircase leading downwards. The stone walls on both sides became higher and higher as we walked forward, making us feel depressed. The illusion of being unable to breathe and fear emerged in our hearts.
An unknown amount of time passed before Noodles, who had been looking ahead to illuminate the way for them, suddenly said, "Little Daddy, stop for a moment. We've gotten separated."
Xu Zhaoyi's heart suddenly tightened. Looking at Qin Sheng's close figure in front of him, he cautiously took several steps back. Coincidentally, at this moment, Qin Sheng in front of him heard the sound of noodles and turned around.
"Getting separated?" Qin Sheng asked with his head tilted.
He was wearing a graffiti mask, so Xu Zhaoyi couldn't see his expression and really couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was real or fake.
Although his inner vigilance had reached its maximum, Xu Zhaoyi still didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of hurting the real Qin Sheng.
Fortunately, Noodles quickly said, "Don't worry, this... Ling Huan is real. It's just that we seem to be still together, but in fact we have walked two different paths. Little Dad, you can try, you can't touch him."
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhaoyi stretched out his hand, and indeed a layer of barrier appeared in front of Qin Sheng, allowing Xu Zhaoyi to pass through it and touch nothing.
"Isn't it!" Noodles said, "I just noticed that there are two completely overlapping roads here."
"So should we retreat and reunite now?" Xu Zhaoyi was a little anxious because he had gotten separated from Qin Sheng. "Besides, we can't be sure which path is the right one. It seems we can only choose one path to explore today."
Qin Sheng was about to say something when Xu Zhaoyi glared at him and said in advance, "Don't tell me about separate actions. I don't agree!"
"That's not what I meant." Qin Sheng smiled. "Even if you're willing to break up with me, I won't let you get out of my sight in this kind of place."
Seeing Xu Zhaoyi breathe a sigh of relief, he continued, "I just wanted to say that I think the path I'm taking is the one that truly leads to the core formation, but I can't explain the reason to you."
Xu Zhaoyi understood what he meant almost instantly. There were two roads here, one leading to the formation, and the other was probably the road he had walked in his previous life, which was a dead end for people breaking in from outside.
There was some kind of connection between the formation and Qin Sheng, so Qin Sheng was certain that the path he was taking was the right one. However, there was really no way to explain this to him, because this guy was now Ling Huan!
If he hadn't been accidentally exposed in front of him, he might not be willing to trust Ling Huan as much as he trusts Qin Sheng. Would they have had to hold a debate on the spot?
Xu Zhaoyi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. At this point, what did it matter whether he took off the damn vest or not? Why could he still practice despite his poor health? Hadn't Qin Sheng already explained it clearly in a sneaky way during this period?
He didn't say he didn't believe it!
At most, he thought Qin Sheng was hiding something else from him, but he hadn't expressed any intention of getting to the bottom of it, right?
Xu Zhaoyi could accept his bad taste of playing two roles in front of him to amuse him, but at this time, when he thought of the consequences of Qin Sheng playing too much, he couldn't help but worry for him.
He said unhappily, "Okay, I'll go back and let Noodles lead me to find you."
"Yeah." Qin Sheng, who had wanted to try to break through the overlapping barrier and pull Xu Zhaoyi directly to his side, silently withdrew his hand.
My wife suddenly got angry, so I decided not to object to her opinion.
Xu Zhaoyi retreated to the entrance of the path, put the noodles down and let them lead him. The noodles quickly led him back to Qin Sheng. Xu Zhaoyi tentatively reached out and poked Qin Sheng in the chest.
Well, it’s alive and feels right.
This time, Qin Sheng let Noodles sit on Xu Zhaoyi's shoulder so as not to take up space. He stretched out one hand and let Xu Zhaoyi hold his hand.
Xu Zhaoyi hesitated for a moment before taking the lead, but he didn't forget to explain: "This is just a temporary solution."
Qin Sheng was stunned for a moment before laughing: "Why, are you afraid that your husband will misunderstand you and cheat on you?"
"Tsk, why would he care about this?" Xu Zhaoyi felt a surge of anger in his heart when he heard this, and his tone became bad.
Qin Sheng:?
"So you still care... right?" Qin Sheng stopped mid-sentence and asked, "Which man would like a green hat?"
Xu Zhaoyi lowered his eyes and looked at their clasped hands, saying quietly, "You don't understand. Some people might have some special fetishes, like cheating on themselves."
Qin Sheng pursed her lips and clarified firmly: "Your husband is not that kind of person."
This is slander!
However, Xu Zhaoyi was not done yet. He no longer wanted to let Qin Sheng mess around. He needed to cooperate with Qin Sheng more honestly in order to deal with the crisis. The danger level of this forbidden area and the two Qing Dynasty people in the woods outside was incomparable to the challenges they had encountered before.
So after thinking about it, I finally decided to remove Ling Huan's pseudonym.
So he had no more scruples.
Her fingers slid lightly across Qin Sheng's palm, and she pinched it as if giving him a warning.
Xu Zhaoyi chuckled and said suddenly:
"But why do I feel like you are?"
