Chapter 118 I'll leave the child to you
"According to what you said, hasn't the Peak Master already protected you?" Ruan Xing was puzzled.
Although it is difficult to evaluate the act of Master Qinghong resolutely pushing another of his disciples to die in order to save Qin Taihe, Qin Taihe, as the beneficiary, would at least feel relieved.
Unexpectedly, Qin Taihe shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Meng is so innocent. I can't let her die for me."
He smiled sadly, "Besides, I may not die. Master also said that the crack is very likely to be a secret place that has never been seen before. Who knows, it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise and become an opportunity?"
These words were most likely spoken by True Lord Qinghong to comfort him. Anyone could guess that if an ordinary Jindan-stage disciple went to a place where Dao Lord Huashen was injured and unconscious, he would be in great danger of death.
"So, you decided to go by yourself? Will the Peak Master agree?"
"Master disagreed, but I insisted, so Master let me come back first. Maybe Master will go to find Senior Sister Meng first after her golden elixir tribulation is over." Qin Taihe's face showed a hint of determination, "I have already made up my mind to die, but I am worried about Yin Feng."
Qin Taihe touched the white wolf that had been leaning against him and whispered, "I have always been alone in Xuanbing Sect and don't have many close friends. I will entrust Yinfeng to you, okay?"
He disobeyed his master's wishes and was afraid that his master would be angry with him. Meng Hui knew that his master once wanted her to die for him, so she would probably feel resentful towards him too. Neither of them would help him take care of Yin Feng.
After much thought, the only option is Ruan Xing. She has become familiar with Yinfeng in recent days. She is young and Yinfeng is immature, so they should be able to get along well with each other. Moreover, Yinfeng is a demon beast in the late Jindan stage, while Ruan Xing has just completed her foundation building. Before Ruan Xing's cultivation level exceeds that of Yinfeng, Yinfeng will be her right-hand man. I believe that she will not treat Yinfeng unfairly, and they will be able to develop feelings for each other during the period when Yinfeng protects her.
"I promised before that I would protect you in the sect. I'm sorry, but I have to break my promise. Can I let Yinfeng protect you for me?"
Seeing Ruan Xing lowering his head and not speaking, Qin Taihe asked again. Compared with before, his tone was two degrees softer.
Ruan Xing was thinking about what she should do to maximize her benefits.
The peak master chose Meng Hui to replace Qin Taihe, why not choose her? She has also completed the foundation building. If Qinghong Zhenjun is willing to give her the skills and elixirs and help her protect the formation, she will only need one or two days to pass the tribulation.
After all, Meng Hui was her first disciple, it was impossible for her to have no feelings at all. Even if her importance in Qinghong Zhenjun's heart was not as great as Qin Taihe, it could not be that she was less important than herself.
In the previous simulations when brushing up on skill proficiency, there were no clues related to Meng Hui and Qin Taihe, proving that no matter who of them went, True Lord Qinghong had never thought of letting her go. She could only draw one conclusion from such behavior.
That is, True Lord Qinghong was not sure whether this trip would result in certain death. What if it really was a secret realm with a great opportunity, she would not let this chance fall into the hands of Ruan Xing, who would betray his master and ancestors in the future.
So Qintai Crane will not necessarily die.
Ruan Xing said: "Yin Feng is very powerful. If you take Yin Feng with you to the rift, your chances of surviving may be greater."
Qin Taihe was a little disappointed and said, "You won't agree to me, right?"
"Ah? No... Wait a minute, let me think about it."
It is not impossible to agree to Qin Taihe. Capturing a Jindan stage monster is also a huge benefit.
However, Ruan Xing felt that the monster's golden elixir was not as good as her own golden elixir, so she still had to find a way to take advantage of this opportunity to escape from the Xuanbing Sect.
She has to go to this space-time rift first to find out what's going on.
Then, she opened the text simulation. [Simulation in progress]
At the age of seven, you were a registered disciple of Xuanbing Sect’s Yaoguang Peak. When you learned that the sect was going to send your fellow senior brother Qin Taihe to complete a life-threatening mission, you took the initiative to ask the peak master for the mission, saying that if the peak master could help you form a golden elixir, you would be willing to complete the mission for Qin Taihe. The peak master decisively rejected you.
You were not discouraged. On the second day, the two candidates selected by the Zongwu Hall and Qin Taihe were ready to set off. You planned to follow them quietly and deal with the situation as you wish when they got there. However, when you were taking the teleportation array at the Xianyuan City headquarters, you were stopped by the peak master.
Two days later, you planned to leave Xianyuan City first instead of taking the teleportation array, and use your own magic weapon, the Spirit Shuttle Boat, to leave. However, less than a cup of tea after leaving Xianyuan City, you were stopped by the Peak Master again.
Five days later, you summoned Jianlai from your storage bag in your bed, asked Jianlai to take you into the hidden passage, and carried you out of Xianyuan City. This time, you successfully left, but due to the delay of these days, you could no longer catch up with Qintai He and the others, and Jianlai's hiding could only last for one or two hours at most. You and Jianlai separated your time, used a shuttle boat to travel, and then switched to the ghost escape technique. On the third day after you left Xianyuan City, Zhenjun Qinghong found you. She asked you why you wanted to escape and who the mysterious young man next to you was.
You made a few cunning excuses, but True Lord Qinghong thought you were being stubborn, so you died.
[End of simulation]
Randomly selecting a memory, Ruan Xing began to think again.
Before, each time she successfully left Xuanbing Sect, it was after several years. The earliest time she left was when she was 20 years old, and she was with Cheng Bi. At that time, True Lord Qinghong might have given up monitoring her long ago, and it didn't matter whether she left or not. But now, she had been in the sect for less than a month, and True Lord Qinghong was still looking at her intently.
The peak master refused to let her replace Qin Taihe. It seemed that preventing possible disasters from happening in the sect in the future was more important to her than Qin Taihe's life.
However, Jian Lai's ghost escape technique was really a bug. He actually managed to escape without anyone noticing. If he had not been unable to keep Ruan Xing in the hidden passage for long, it would have been difficult for True Lord Qinghong to find him.
So how could she leave the sect and take a look at the crack? She couldn't even touch the edge of the crack, so how could she confirm whether entering the crack would be a blessing or a curse?
Perhaps, the two candidates selected by the Sect Affairs Hall were the key. Those two people did not know what they were about to face. They only knew that this mission would be very difficult. Even the sect's genius Qin Taihe was sent out. They did not know that Qin Taihe's status was very embarrassing in the eyes of the sect's top leaders. Instead, they felt a little excited to be able to act with Qin Taihe.
If, she first relies on the sword to enter the hidden space and then finds one of the two people, she uses the illusion to change into his appearance in the hidden space, and then uses the mask magic weapon to change her own cultivation, and then uses the sword to control this person and pull him into the hidden space, and then comes out herself, can she achieve the effect of stealing the day?
One of the difficulties is that one of these two men is in the middle Jindan stage and the other in the late Jindan stage. Although Jian Lai's methods are extremely covert, he is also in the Jindan stage and may not be able to execute perfectly without any noise.
The second difficulty is that Jian Lai can only maintain the space channel with others for more than an hour, and her illusion technique can also only last for more than an hour, so the time of action must be controlled well. From the time Jian Lai brings her into the hidden channel to the time they successfully leave Xianyuan City, this period of time cannot exceed one hour. She also has to stay for half an hour to clean up after going out. Qin Taihe might find out that she secretly followed him out and send a message to Qinghong Zhenjun to report her.
It would be better if Meng Hui went instead. After all, Meng Hui has just entered the early stage of the Golden Elixir and should not be that difficult to deal with.
Eh?
Yes... True Lord Qinghong didn't agree to let Qin Taihe go by himself, so why did Qin Taihe go out so happily the next day?
Didn’t you let Meng Hui go over and pull it together?
True Lord Qinghong thinks highly of Qin Taihe, so when Qin Taihe says that he wants to die, True Lord Qinghong would just nod and say "OK, no problem, go ahead and die."
Ruan Xing remembered this question belatedly.
Qin Taihe saw Ruan Xing lowering her head to think and did not disturb her.
The originally gloomy sky suddenly became bright, the sunlight dispelled the dark clouds and shone on the ground, and the breeze brought a hot breath.
Qin Taihe looked up blankly, "Why did the calamity cloud dissipate so early?"
Thanks to Hao Ning for the monthly ticket~
