She still couldn't figure out what Feng Che wanted to know from his master.
"He's a hypocrite, a heartless man, a liar..."
Yuehua hissed in a low voice. This was the first time Feng Qingxue had ever seen her master like this. She was about to speak when she paused and glanced into the shadows.
"Master, you are kind and sincere, beautiful as a flower, and devoted to Kamakura God. Who can compare to my master?"
Feng Qingxue appeared to be standing up for her master, but in reality, she was still pondering the question from earlier: what exactly did Feng Che want to do?
Yuehua shook her head: "I don't know who that woman is either. Judging from the quality of the hairpin, it certainly wouldn't be something that small families could possess... But I still can't find out. Over the years, I've been curious about what kind of extraordinary woman could have changed him so much."
Feng Qingxue's eyes flickered slightly, and she wanted to ask something, but Yuehua interrupted her: "Alright, Qingxue, I don't want to talk about him anymore. I won't pursue what happened tonight. You can go back now."
Seeing that Yuehua had given the order to leave, Feng Qingxue didn't say anything more.
"Alright then, Master, you should go back and rest early too..."
Yuehua nodded. Feng Qingxue glanced into the shadows, then turned and left Wuwang Peak. After leaving Wuwang Peak, she did not return directly to the peak, but instead headed towards the maple forest.
A faint sound of footsteps came from behind. Feng Qingxue turned around and looked directly at Feng Che: "Second Master Feng, why did you make me ask such a question? Or is it that you stayed on Blue Star only to investigate the woman Kamakura Shin'yu?"
Yes, it was because she heard Feng Che's telepathic message that she asked those questions and guessed Feng Che's purpose on Blue Star.
Feng Che looked at Feng Qingxue, a flicker of unreadable emotion crossing his eyes. For Jiu'er, he was willing to use anyone...
“I stayed on Blue Star because I wanted to investigate someone through your master. That person is Kamakura. But the woman tonight was an unexpected discovery,” Feng Che explained.
"Investigate Kamakura Shinto? What do you want to know?"
"It's Jiu'er. Jiu'er was previously put on a Soul-Locking Needle. The only people who possess the Soul-Locking Needle are Hell Gate, the Jiang family of Sifang City, and Kamakura. The other two families have been ruled out, but the Soul-Locking Needle in Kamakura has been missing. As long as it is not found, Jiu'er's personal safety cannot be guaranteed. That's why I started with Yuehua."
“I have been investigating this Soul-Locking Needle for three months, but I have made no progress. Tonight, however, I accidentally learned about the woman’s existence, so I wanted you to help me get information about her.”
He just didn't expect that even Yuehua didn't know who the woman was, but he still gained a lot tonight... The hairpin that Yuehua mentioned must still be in Yuehua's hands!
"So you suspect that the Soul-Locking Needle is in that woman's hands?"
"yes."
Feng Che answered seriously. Feng Qingxue looked at his worried expression and gritted her teeth: "Second Master Feng, if I may be so bold as to ask, what is Little Ninth Sister to you?"
She noticed his nervousness towards her. Was she really just the daughter of an old friend he had mentioned before?
Feng Che looked ahead and remained silent for a long time before saying, "She is a very important person to me."
A very important person... Feng Qingxue's hand trembled slightly beneath her sleeve, and she could not hide the sorrow in her eyes. If Feng Che were to turn around and look at her at this moment, he would surely see the love and sorrow in her eyes.
"I must investigate this matter thoroughly, no matter what. Feng Qingxue, there is actually another request I have." Feng Che turned to look at her, and her face had already returned to a calm expression.
When she heard Feng Che call her by her full name, she was stunned for a moment, but quickly came back to her senses.
"What's up?"
“You are Yuehua’s disciple, so entering her room shouldn’t be difficult for you. I would like to ask you to draw that hairpin for me,” Feng Che said seriously.
Feng Qingxue looked at Feng Che, trying to see something in his eyes.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng Che continued, "Don't worry, since I'm asking for your help, I naturally won't let you help for nothing. Whatever you want or whatever you need from me, Feng Che, I can satisfy you."
A glint of light flashed in Feng Qingxue's eyes. Although she knew he was just using her, she was still very happy, because this way he would owe her a favor...
"I agree, but in exchange, you have to agree to one condition."
"good."
Feng Qingxue was somewhat taken aback. He agreed without even asking what the conditions were? Wasn't he afraid she would make unreasonable demands? But his quick agreement wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Aren't you curious about the conditions?
"Any conditions are acceptable."
Feng Che answered without hesitation. Although he was not very familiar with Feng Qingxue, he could sense that she was not the kind of woman with ulterior motives, nor was she the kind of person who would do anything heinous, much less the kind of woman with impure intentions.
Feng Che was indeed half right, but today's events revealed her greatest cunning. However... what bad intentions could she possibly have? All she wanted was him!
“Okay, but I haven’t thought of this condition yet. I’ll come back to you to fulfill it when I’ve thought of it,” Feng Qingxue said with a smile.
"This is a communication stone. You can contact me through it whenever you want to redeem it, or when you finish painting the hairpin."
As Feng Che spoke, he handed a communication stone to Feng Qingxue. Feng Qingxue's smile deepened. She could hardly believe that he would give her a communication stone. Did this mean that she could contact him through the communication stone from now on?
However, before she could even be happy for three seconds, Feng Che's voice came again: "This sound transmission stone can only be used three times."
Feng Qingxue was taken aback. Three times?
"Okay... alright!"
Unable to sleep all night, Feng Qingxue got up early because of this incident. She sat in front of the mirror, constantly stroking the communication stone given to her by Feng Che.
Ji Jiuying also got up early. With the foundation she had laid before, she reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul realm in just one night. Soon, she arrived at the Array Sect. Because of her plain appearance, no one noticed her along the way.
"Sister Lanxi!"
Just then, a male voice sounded behind her. Ji Jiuying turned around in confusion and saw a man of about eighteen or nineteen years old looking at her with a smile.
It's him! Lan Zhao, also known as Lan Xi's second brother.
Her face wasn't Lan Xi's, but he recognized her. It seemed his second uncle had greeted him. To avoid any unnecessary trouble, Ji Jiuying went up to him. "Oh, it's Second Brother!"
Lan Zhao sized up the plain-looking Ji Jiuying and smiled, "Little sister, since you're new to Blue Star, let your second brother take you to register!"
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Brother."
Ji Jiuying smiled, seemingly oblivious to the probing look in his eyes.
