Chapter 675: Four Yuxins?

~8 min read 1,558 words

Yin Qi's premonition came true.

This was a farewell letter.

Nalan Ruoshui had left Pingyang City, her destination unknown, and she might never return.

She asked Yin Qi to forget her.

As for the reason, it was related to Sima Lingkong.

In the Chu Kingdom, Sima Changfeng, as a Great General, had always been at odds with the Left Chancellor Nalan Wencheng; such discord between a general and a chancellor was not conducive to the stability of the Chu Kingdom, so the Emperor of Chu intended for both sides to marry into each other's families to dissolve their grievances.

Sima Changfeng also admired Nalan Ruoshui, but unfortunately, Nalan Ruoshui had no feelings for him.

Coupled with the fact that Sima Lingkong had been studying in the West, this matter had been dragged out.

Until some time ago, when Sima Lingkong returned to the country and then fought a battle with Chen Nan, he fell from high in the sky along with the Dragon Corpses; not only was he severely injured, but he also damaged his kidney meridians, becoming a useless person.

Because this matter was too shameful, the Sima family kept it a secret, but as the attending physician, Nalan Ruoshui naturally knew.

In order to protect Sima Lingkong's reputation, Sima Changfeng went to the Nalan Mansion to propose marriage, demanding that Nalan Ruoshui marry Sima Lingkong, after all, this matter was also caused by Nalan Ruoshui.

At the Nalan Mansion, Sima Changfeng even made harsh threats.

If this marriage could not be accomplished, then from now on, the two families would be mortal enemies, and it would not end until one side was destroyed.

Furthermore, he would kill the entire family of anyone who dared to marry Nalan Ruoshui in the future.

Sima Changfeng was in a high position with great power, but Nalan Wencheng was no pushover; how could he let his precious daughter marry a useless person? In any case, the two sides were already at odds, so what did it matter if their relationship worsened?

Nalan Ruoshui already had Yin Qi in her heart and could not possibly marry Sima Lingkong, but she did not want to implicate Yin Qi because of herself, so she simply chose to leave without saying goodbye.

In her heart, although Yin Qi had high martial arts skills, he was ultimately only at the late Third Order.

Even with Fourth Tier cultivation, he could not be Sima Changfeng's opponent.

As the Great General of the Chu Kingdom, Sima Changfeng was himself a Fourth-order Peak powerhouse, and his subordinates were as numerous as clouds; dealing with a single Yin Qi was truly effortless for him.

Putting down the letter, Yin Qi felt a sense of loss, as well as disappointment.

Nalan Ruoshui had given up on this relationship so easily, without even discussing it with him, simply assuming as a matter of course that this was for his own good.

Just as in the original story, she had always been unable to bravely face her feelings for Chen Nan.

Chen Nan had caused a scene at her wedding, turning Pingyang City upside down, yet Nalan Ruoshui still refused to elope with him, solely out of concern for her family's reputation.

Chu Yue's expression was indifferent as she persuaded, "Young Master Yin, Ruoshui leaving without saying goodbye was also for your own good; I hope you can understand her. I also know that your background is certainly extraordinary, but this is, after all, the Chu Kingdom."

Glancing at Chu Yue, Yin Qi suddenly smiled.

Without saying more, he turned and left.

It seemed that Chu Laoguai had not informed the Emperor of Chu and the others about his situation, otherwise, Chu Yue would not have said these words.

There was no need to stay in the Chu Kingdom any longer.

Watching Yin Qi's departing back, Chu Yue frowned slightly; she did not quite understand why Yin Qi had smiled.

That smile seemed like mockery, yet also like detachment.

In fact, Nalan Ruoshui's departure also had a third of her own doing, because if Nalan Ruoshui did not leave, the relationship between the Sima family and the Nalan family would not ease, and Yin Qi and the Sima family would inevitably come into conflict.

As for the Sima family, the Royal Family naturally wanted to win them over and appease them.

But for Yin Qi, they felt the same way.

Not only because of the strength Yin Qi displayed, but also because of the hidden power behind him.

Once Yin Qi and the Sima family had a fierce conflict, regardless of who won or lost, it would be a serious internal drain for the Chu Kingdom; rather than that, it was better to let Nalan Ruoshui leave and cut off the root of the trouble.

... Returning to Qishi Mansion, Yin Qi found Chen Nan.

Chen Nan smiled and said, "Brother Yin, you have come out of seclusion; it looks like your strength has greatly increased again."

Although Yin Qi restrained his aura and he could not see through Yin Qi's depth, his Spiritual Sense told him that Yin Qi's cultivation had made rapid progress again and should have already stepped into the Fifth Tier.

Thinking of this, a wave of envy arose in his heart.

Even his father, Chen Zhan, probably did not have this level of cultivation at the age of twenty.

Yin Qi just smiled and said, "After the Emperor of Chu's sixtieth birthday, I plan to leave the Chu Kingdom and head to Shenfeng Academy; I came to tell you."

"Doesn't that mean you are leaving the day after tomorrow?"

Chen Nan was startled; tomorrow was the Emperor of Chu's sixtieth birthday.

He hurriedly asked, "Brother Yin, everything is fine, why are you suddenly leaving the Chu Kingdom?"

Chen Nan was actually quite satisfied with his current life.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... book... site...!

As a knight of Qishi Mansion, besides the high monthly salary, all kinds of benefits were very good in daily life.

Here, he ate well and lived well, did not need to worry about miscellaneous matters, only needed to practice diligently every day, and he could browse the books in the Royal Library at will, which contained many lost supreme arts.

"Ruoshui has left..."

Yin Qi did not hide it and recounted the matter: "In the matter of Ruoshui leaving, I am afraid Chu Yue played an unseemly role, and I have no intention of staying here any longer."

Chen Nan nodded in realization and asked, "Are you not planning to go find her?"

Yin Qi shook his head and said, "If she lacks the courage, what good would it do for me to find her?"

Chen Nan wanted to comfort Yin Qi, but found that he did not know how to comfort him either, as he had no experience himself.

So he smiled broadly and said, "There are fragrant grasses everywhere in the world; the next one will surely be better. With Brother Yin's charm, wherever you go, there will be beauties who admire you. Since you are leaving, there is no point in me staying here alone. I have also long heard of Shenfeng Academy; I might as well go take a look."

"Hmm, then let's go together when the time comes."

Yin Qi nodded and said, "By the way, my cultivation has improved again, and I have performed a Calculation regarding Yuxin again; I discovered that she is not only in the Immortal World, but her existence is also in the Mortal Boundary."

Chen Nan was not him; he could recover his cultivation quickly just by closing his eyes and practicing hard.

But Chen Nan needed to continuously break through rapidly through repeated life-and-death tempering, so Yin Qi thought about it and decided to tell Chen Nan more things, letting him go out and venture, so as not to become a shut-in.

The Mortal Boundary without Chen Nan was truly not lively enough.

Chen Nan was stunned, both excited and skeptical as he said, "Brother Yin, are you sure your Calculation is correct? Yuxin is only one person; how can she exist in the Immortal World and also in the Mortal Boundary?"

Yin Qi said: "It cannot be wrong; my Heavenly Secret Path will never make a mistake. This is also the reason why I told you back then that Yuxin's condition was somewhat poor."

Chen Nan said excitedly: "Brother Yin, I know you must know Yuxin's situation. Tell me quickly, what exactly happened to Yuxin, and where should I go to find her?"

Yin Qi pondered for a long time before saying: "I can tell you three addresses. When the opportunity arrives in the future, you will naturally be able to find them. These three addresses are Fengdu Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, and the Western Ancient Elf Tribe."

"Them...?"

Chen Nan was even more confused; how could there be three Yuxins?

Was Yin Qi's Calculation really not wrong?

Rationally, he felt that Yin Qi's Calculation was wrong; it was completely a fantasy.

If one added the one in the Immortal World, wouldn't there be four Yuxins?

But emotionally, he felt that Yin Qi would not lie to him. He always felt that Yin Qi was incomparably mysterious and seemed to know many secrets, but simply refused to tell him. (End of chapter)
