Chapter 336: When a man turns poisonous, he is far more vicious than a woman

You aren't A Jin.

Shen Qingli stated firmly.

Indeed, it wasn't the surprised look of Cangpei, Di Jin.

Not alike?

He had carefully observed Di Jin's every move and kept them in mind.

It's impossible not to resemble!

"Di Jin" looked wronged, yet didn't speak, and didn't approach Shen Qingli again.

At this moment, saying more would be wrong; Cangpei knew when to stop, not rushing for quick gain.

Shen Qingli was no longer so certain; she had secretly activated the Dark Power Pupil, yet saw nothing unusual.

The Di Jin before her was real, not an illusion, and there was no bewitching technique?

"He really is my little sister's husband." Shen Qinghuang also spoke.

Shen Qingli also glanced at him again, and could see that her elder brother's condition seemed problematic.

"My elder brother isn't fully recovered; he used to be an idle worker for the He Clan, got implicated after the incident, and almost died again. Fortunately, heaven leaves a way, and I happened to meet him." The carefully explained "Di Jin" hid resentment.

Shen Qingli hadn't even moved when Jiu Li leapt onto Shen Qinghuang's shoulder, sizing him up: "No way! You're really alive!"

Jiu Li's eyesight was good too; Shen Qinghuang's aura had no flaw, yet it felt something was off—oh, right!

"You weren't turned into a specimen, so how are you still alive?"

"Can that even achieve successful rebirth?"

"How did you become like that? Tell me."

Jiu Li fired a string of questions, challenging Shen Qinghuang.

Shen Qinghuang wore a wry smile: "It's a long story."

"Then sit down and talk slowly." Jiu Li touched Shen Qinghuang, and the feeling was surprisingly real.

"I won't stay long; after the time it takes to finish a cup of tea, I must go see the Heaven Fighting Mother. She previously intervened, and Father doesn't want to owe karma, so he wants to settle things with her."

The explained "Di Jin" once again dispelled a doubt in Shen Qingli's heart. If it was to sever karma, it was indeed possible to send someone to the He Clan.

If possible, given Shen Qingli's understanding of Di Jin, he would surely strive to be that person and seek a chance to meet her.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingli's expression softened: "How is Father treating you?"

"Di Jin" gave a bitter laugh: "Just so-so. Elder sister,"

Shen Qingli cut him off: "No idle talk—you've been in there once; draw me a map so I can enter when I go."

"Di Jin" choked slightly: "I'm not entirely sure, but elder sister, rest assured—three years is plenty; I'll figure it out and get word to you."

"All right." Shen Qingli approached Shen Qinghuang: "Can my elder brother come back to Taiqing Temple with me?"

"Di Jin" nodded: "Of course, it's settled—you'll be able to take your elder brother away soon. Don't stand; sit and chat. Elder sister won't still think I'm fake, refusing even to sit."

Shen Qingli slightly lowered her eyes, though all doubts had vanished.

But for some reason, she still couldn't feel closeness toward the person before her.

There's only one possibility: the A Jin before her is definitely problematic!

But the problem actually has two possibilities: a simple one— the person before her is absolutely not A Jin; or a thornier one— it is A Jin, but after returning, he was tampered with.

Still, suspecting as she did, Shen Qingli sat down.

"Di Jin" seemingly helplessly poured her a cup of tea: "Elder sister, are you still well?"

"Give me your hand." Shen Qingli reached out.

"Di Jin" slightly clenched his fist: "What are you doing?"

Shen Qingli raised an eyebrow at him, saying nothing.

"Di Jin" resignedly stretched out his hand.

Shen Qingli's hand then rested on his pulse.

In the cultivation world, this is a highly aggressive, dangerous move.

Shen Qingli could completely cut off Di Jin's cultivation through his pulse.

But he offered no resistance, letting Shen Qingli examine him.

Just feeling his pulse, Shen Qingli frowned: "Still injured?"

"No problem." After withdrawing his hand, "Di Jin" took a sip of tea himself.

At this moment, Shen Qinghuang said, "I'll just wait at the garden gate; I don't want to be in the way."

"I want to accompany A Li." Jiu Li started to run after saying that, but Shen Qinghuang grabbed him: "You're not needed."

"Hey!" Jiu Li struggled, but ultimately couldn't stay, disturbing the young couple.

Once it left, "Di Jin" slowly unfurled the other hand hidden in his sleeve, knowing the matter was as good as done.

This little plump beast is overly sharp, its ability not small; it truly hinders his plans here. Last time, wasn't it that it ruined his grand scheme?

Fortunately, the eldest son of the Shen family had indeed worked on that Three Purity Mine, though he secretly fled. But it doesn't matter; the places he lived still retain his aura.

Even before the Three Purity Mine was taken by Di Jin, he had, in order to help the Three Purity Mystic Maiden set an ambush to capture Shen Qingli, gained a deep understanding of the Huaxu Tomb area.

That Three Purity Mine is nearby; he naturally needed to know every detail to prevent leaks. Although, that ambush later went unused.

Nevertheless, his earlier efforts were still useful.

"Shen Qinghuang"—this is what was used?

"Di Jin", after taking another sip of tea, said slowly: "This time we part again; I don't know when I'll see elder sister again."

"I will definitely come find you; so you, hurry and tell me what you know." Shen Qingli urged.

Seeing she still wasn't drinking tea, "Di Jin" didn't urge her, but inside he was actually quite anxious.

But he also knew well that if he couldn't naturally get Shen Qingli to drink, being too deliberate would backfire.

"Don't rush; only by being patient can you succeed." Di Jin inwardly steadied his mind, and his tone was already unhurried.

"True Lord of the Primordial Martial, you've seen him. In the Taiqing Dian, there are many strong ones like him; as far as I can tell, there are at least ten or more. My father—I don't know what realm he's in."

While speaking, Di Jin, who was frowning, seemed quite troubled: "I'll first try to get Father to stop being obstinate; maybe then Elder Sister can come sooner."

"Do you know why your father opposes us?" Shen Qingli asked again.

Di Jin lowered his eyes, as if hiding something unspeakable: "I'm not sure, but the greatest possibility is that we are forbidden to provoke karma."

The situation was the same as what Shen Qingli had learned before! She also lowered her eyes, seeming to fall silent for a moment.

Seeing this, Di Jin then advised, "Elder Sister, don't worry, have a cup of tea. This tea is passable; it's brewed from water transformed by the spiritual mist of Yunhe Island, and only one pot can be made each year."

The implication is that, if not for Di Jin's special status, one couldn't drink this pot of tea.

This also serves as further proof to Shen Qingli that he is definitely Di Jin.

Upon hearing that, Shen Qingli lifted the teacup, took a gentle sniff, and indeed the fragrance was inwardly restrained, with a very refined spiritual aura.

Di Jin didn't urge her further, but instead propped his chin on his hand and watched her, appearing carefree and languid, yet obedient and soft.

Shen Qingli lowered her eyes and took a sip of tea…

Meanwhile, the seemingly casual Di Jin, at the moment she swallowed the tea, his gaze noticeably darkened a bit.

Ten days ago, when the newly successful body-refining Cang Pei met the Three Pure Mystic Maiden again, she gave him a pill.

That is, the medicine that the Three Pure Mystic Maiden had just instructed Cang Pei to have Shen Qingli take first…
