Si Hongyue waited for an entire night before finally deciding to take action.
During this time, she had been constantly hiding from those chasing her while also avoiding the city-wide search in Yinxu Prefecture, which had put her in a difficult situation.
She really wanted to retrieve her belongings and leave this ghostly place as soon as possible, but much to Si Hongyue’s frustration, Qin Lingshuang, the one who had her belongings, always followed Qin Changqing like conjoined twins.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t defeat Qin Lingshuang.
It was just that she was injured, and if she were to get tangled up with her, the other people from the Lingxue Sect would soon arrive.
By then, she would be in even greater danger.
Meanwhile, the Law Enforcement Team still hadn’t left Qin Mansion.
Si Hongyue’s move this time was prompted by the good opportunity she sensed when she noticed that Qin Changqing was alone in a room.
Feeling the coldness of the sword’s blade, Qin Changqing tensed up, “Miss… can we clarify things first? I don’t seem to have any deep enmity with you, do I?”
“Humph! You’re a scoundrel who deserves to be punished by everyone!”
Qin Changqing felt wronged in his heart.Was he a scoundrel?
Were these terms even related?
Would anyone believe him if he said that?
Si Hongyue coldly said, “Enough nonsense, return my things!”
Qin Changqing’s mouth twitched, “Miss, what exactly do you have that’s here with me? At least tell me that.’
“It’s… it’s…” Si Hongyue stammered, unable to say what it was. How could she possibly say it out loud?
This guy clearly knew the situation but was pretending to be clueless!
“Miss? Why don’t you give me a hint? I, Qin Changqing, have never casually taken other people’s things, especially those belonging to a woman, so there must be some misunderstanding between us.”
“Still trying to quibble!” Si Hongyue shouted angrily, “Don’t tell me you already forgot what you did in that room!”
Qin Changqing was stunned, thinking: “Miss, anyone who heard your tone would think I did something to you.”
“The room in the northeast corner near the bamboo forest!” Si Hongyue added.
“Northeast… bamboo forest…
Qin Changqing carefully recalled the details, and his expression suddenly froze:
“Wait… you’re that homeless tramp?”
Si Hongyue sneered, “Remember now? So, do you also remember what you took from the window?”
Qin Changqing was speechless.
So, this whole chase was just for a few worn-out clothes?
“Miss,” he sighed helplessly, “there is a reason for what happened back then. I discovered that place unintentionally at the time, and I just wanted to check out the situation… It’s a normal reaction, isn’t it? Anyone who had a thief in their house would first want to investigate the situation and retrieve the stolen goods, right?”
“Besides, in the end, you were the one who was wrong first. That was Lingxiao Sect’s territory, and I didn’t even complain when you intruded without permission. How can you blame me?”
Si Hongyue’s eyes grew colder, “Smooth talker, looking for death!”
“Wait, wait, wait!”
Qin Changqing exclaimed loudly, “If you kill me, you’ll never get your things back!”
“Hmph! Even if I kill you, I can still take my things back. I’m telling you this so you can die knowing the reason!”
“Well, your calculation is going to be wrong. Those things you want aren’t in my storage bag.”
Si Hongyue frowned. In the moment of hesitation, Qin Changqing suddenly activated his sword technique, and three flying swords shot out from his storage bag.
Ding! Ding! Ding!-
Si Hongyue was knocked back by the flying swords. Realizing she had been fooled, she wanted to kill Qin Changqing, but he suddenly threw off the quilt, exposing a large area of skin.
“Shameless!!”
Si Hongyue instinctively covered her eyes.
Qin Changqing didn’t care and dashed out wearing only his underwear.
“To think I, Qin Changqing, could make it this far, do you really think I’m that easy to kill? Sister Lingshuang, save me! Lingfrost was practicing her sword in the neighboring courtyard. Hearing the call, she immediately climbed over the wall and saw Si Hongyue rushing from the room. Without hesitation, she stabbed out a rain of swords.
Ding ding ding ding ding-
Si Hongyue easily resolved the sword attack.
After fighting for a while, Si Hongyue lost her killing intent.
Qin Changqing’s opportunity had gone, he could only let out a reluctant cold snort and used his body technique to jump out of the courtyard.
“Senior brother, are you all right?” Seeing Si Hongyue leaving, Qin Lingshuang put away her sword and approached Qin Changqing.
“I’m fine, thankfully you arrived in time.”
Qin Changqing waved his hand, looking at where the woman in black had left.
He was really okay. In fact, he had a chance to summon the Divine Symbol of Dao Tianweng earlier, but he couldn’t bear to use it.
“Is it that woman again?” Qin Lingshuang frowned, “Senior brother, who is this person? Why does she want to kill you over and over again? Is she sent by the Gongsun Family?”
“Eh, I’m not quite sure why she wants to kill me myself.”
Qin Changqing’s face turned red, too embarrassed to admit he had taken her bellyband.
“No, I might know something about her identity.”
“Husband, what is going on…?”
At this moment, Murong Xue came into the courtyard with a bowl of cooked soup, and saw it Qin Changqing and Qin Lingshuang standing together from afar.
Qin Changqing was still wearing only his shorts.
Qin Lingshuang also realized that her senior brother’s unkempt hair from getting up in the morning had a kind of disheveled beauty. Seeing his bare upper body quickened her heartbeat.
“I… I’d better go first.”
With that, she ran off to the neighboring courtyard.
“Husband?” Murong Xue tilted her head slightly, observing how energetic he was.
Si Hongyue’s sneak attack made Qin Changqing feel uneasy.
The woman’s strength was too strong. According to Qin Lingshuang’s description, and combining it with his previous contact with her, Qin Changqing roughly guessed her identity.
Huntian Sect Witch Si Hongyue.
After all, the forces in Yinxu Prefecture were clearly displayed, and ordinary young women wouldn’t have this kind of strength.
He had previously asked Liu Shuisheng who confirmed that Si Hongyue was definitely at the Golden Elixir Stage.
As for now, she seemed to be injured.
This confused Qin Changqing.
It had been some time since the Demon Cult incident in Yinxu Prefecture, so what had Si Hongyue been doing here all this time?
And she was injured.
It was definitely not caused by Lingxiao Sect, and the Dayan Dynasty hadn’t made any moves. How did Si Hongyue get injured?
Qin Changqing didn’t originally have much interest in this matter, but her clothes had already been taken by him. It was awkward to return them now, so he considered them as his amulet in case she really wanted to kill and silence him.
“Tsk- How did I come to rely on a woman’s clothes for survival? No, this is not my problem. How could she be so crazy as to store them like that? All I did was take a few.”
Qin Changqing mumbled to himself, then turned back to look for the Law Enforcement Team, only to later find out that Zhao Kai was leading people to assist the enforcement team in hunting down the demon cultivator.
This news surprised him.
Logically, since Si Hongyue had just appeared on his side, her subordinates shouldn’t have caused trouble.
So, were there more than just the Huntian Sect among the demon cultivators? Or were they not a united front?
With limited information, Qin Changqing couldn’t figure it out, so he could only keep an eye on the news while continuing his dual cultivation with his wives in the Qin Mansion.
Being a steward had the advantage of having little work and great power.
Qin Mansion was just settling in Yinxu Prefecture, so it was best not to make too much noise. They only needed to slowly build up their business along the channels paved by the Murong Family.
Qin Changqing wasn’t in a hurry. No matter how powerful the Qin family was, everything ultimately relied on strength. Once they had strength, they naturally had power.
So, the priority was still to have children.
The Lotus Heart Sitting and Forgetting Skill was indeed very good. Under his influence, Su Xiaoyue quickly broke through to the fourth level of Cultivating Qi, and Xi’er stepped into the eighth level, launching a fierce sprint toward Foundation Establishment.
Not long after Bai Yan successfully established her Foundation, she felt another breakthrough approaching.
The other women each improved as well.
Of course, cultivation was secondary, and getting pregnant was the main goal.
Qin Changqing found that the cultivation technique seemed to increase the probability of pregnancy when practiced.
Even Bai Yan, after dual cultivating with Qin Changqing for less than half a month, became pregnant..
