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 wasn't sold by my parents. That's great..."
"Of course not! If Dad had known that he had such a good daughter like you, he would have found you even if it meant 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. Lu Sicong also bowed down.
Luo Ying said with a smile:
"The one I'm most worried about down there is Yao'er. The judge said long ago that her life is miserable and she's destined to end up in prostitution. Fortunately, someone saved her from this hellish pit. Now I can finally rest in peace."
"I cannot repay your great 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, actually. There's something I really need your help with."
The two of them immediately showed relief and nodded without hesitation:
"Please speak, benefactor!"
"As long as my benefactor gives 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."
The two of them were stunned and looked at each other, their eyes suddenly becoming complicated.
"I do have a list here..." Lu Sicong murmured.
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"That was entrusted to your adoptive father by your biological father, and then by your adoptive father 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 understood it."
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 a little 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 well."
Luo Ying slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said without hesitation:
"Alright! I think it's more appropriate to leave this thing in the hands of my benefactor than in anyone else's! Then I'll entrust it to you, my benefactor!"
Lu Sicong listened to the two people's confusing conversation and asked in confusion:
"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 you and I both have is only half of the list. Putting the two together, we have a very important ingredient 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.
Seeing this, Yun Qingqing 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 another sentence in his heart.
Just wait until the end of his life, and then 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 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 faintly and looked at the father and daughter outside the formation:
"Death is not 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 was reluctant in her heart, but she still reassured her very well.
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 made up your mind about what to do with her?"
Lu Sicong clenched his fist and closed his eyes:
"Send it to the authorities."
Old Mrs. Zhao cried out in horror:
"No! You can't do this to me! After all, I'm 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 person 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? The government won't believe you without evidence!"
Yun Qingqing sneered:
"I advise you to tell the truth when you get to the government office. After all, if you don't face justice for your evil deeds in the living world, you'll be punished twice as much in the underworld, with mountains of knives, cauldrons of oil, tongues pulled out, and skin peeled off!"
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 ghost of Luo Ying, whom she had killed, appear, and it was impossible for her to ignore the theories of ghosts and gods anymore.
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:
"You mean the list? But aren't we looking for Black Steel? Why would it be 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've never known the purpose of this list. I think it's because I only have half of it, and secondly, I've never heard of 'Black Steel' until someone asked 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 isn't a natural metal. Instead, it needs to be refined and synthesized using the materials 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 passed away long ago... Nan Zheng was extremely grateful at this moment. If it weren't for the princess, he would never be 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's thighs must be held tightly!
He couldn't help but secretly glance at his master, feeling a little complicated.
My master, you must coax the princess and stop her from asking for a divorce!
After the matter was completed, several people left the room one after another.
Yun Qingqing was about to ask about Lu Sicong and his daughter's future plans when her expression suddenly darkened and she raised her hand and threw out a talisman.
There was a sharp sound, and suddenly a sneer came from the air!
