Lin Yingmin’s eyes flickered, astonished by her skillful Qing Gong.
He glanced at the other three people beside him, who seemed quite extraordinary, wondering who they were.
Yuan Hongjun and Bao Linjiang noticed the thoughtful look on Lin Yingmin’s face. Bao Linjiang reached out and patted Lin Yingmin’s shoulder, reminding him in a low voice, “Young Master Lin, don’t try to inquire about my master’s background.”
Bao Linjiang’s features were deep, and when expressionless, he had a certain intimidating aspect that made people not dare to look directly at him.
Lin Yingmin glanced at Bao Linjiang who was dressed in a black brocade that ordinary people couldn’t afford and exuding an air of nobility. He thought to himself that he must come from one of those big families.
A young man from a prominent family actually took a little girl as his master. How high must the girl’s status be?
Lin Yingmin didn’t dare to delve deeper into these thoughts.
“Don’t worry, I won’t,” Lin Yingmin replied.
Bao Linjiang’s expression eased, and he said meaningfully, “You’re a clever person.”
Lin Yingmin lowered his gaze, and after a moment, he spoke softly. His voice flowed like a stream, incredibly gentle. “Can you tell me her name?”
Why was he so interested in his master? Bao Linjiang looked at Lin Yingmin, asking. “You should ask my master this question yourself.”
Yuan Hongjun also glanced at Lin Yingmin. Was this guy harboring some other intentions towards his master?
Lin Yingmin pursed his lips and fell silent.
On the other side, Chu Qingzhi used her superior martial skills to fly over the rooftops and reach a secluded courtyard in the backyard of the nunnery.
Using the concealment technique, she stood in the shadows, openly eavesdropping and observing.
The concealment technique allowed her to hide her body in the shadows, making it invisible unless someone had a higher cultivation level.
In the secluded courtyard, a woman in her thirties knelt in front of a middle-aged nun. “Sister, 1 beg you, will you tell me?!”
The nun was beautiful, somewhat resembling a gardenia. Her expression was indifferent, showing a serene acceptance of everything. Even her voice carried a sense of ethereality. She gazed beyond the courtyard wall, looking at the distant pine trees without emotions. She said, “I won’t tell you. Give up on this idea.”
The woman in blue lifted her head, her face full of unwillingness, and said with excitement, “Sister, don’t you want revenge? Who caused you to end up in this nunnery? Are you content with your status quo?”
The nun’s gaze passed over the courtyard wall, looking at the distant pine trees without emotions. “There was resentment at the beginning, but 1 have already let go of the past.”
The woman in blue tried to instigate, “You may have let go, but what about Yingmin? Are you willing to let him remain crippled for a lifetime? Let him suffer forever?”
The nun’s gaze fluctuated for a moment, then returned to tranquility. “His fate is beyond my control; I cannot change it.”
Listening to these words, Chu Qingzhi wondered about the relationship between the nun and Lin Yingmin. Were they mother and son as there was some resemblance in their appearance?
The woman in blue, not expecting the nun to disregard even her own son, sneered and said ominously, “Sister, you’re so cold-blooded!”
The nun remained unmoved. “Go back; don’t come to see me again in the future.”
The woman in blue got up from the ground, a sinister expression appearing on her face. She threatened, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll immediately send someone to capture Lin Yingmin and kill him in front of you!”
The nun suddenly tightened her grip on the prayer beads, trying to maintain a calm front. She hadn’t expected her sister to go insane and resort to such coercion!
After a moment, she looked at the woman in blue and said indifferently, “Is he so important to you?”
The woman in blue softened her gaze, full of longing. “Yes, I’ve waited for him for over a decade. He said that as long as I help him this time, he will take me to the eastern border.”
The nun spoke calmly, “Have you thought that he might be deceiving you?”
Seemingly provoked, the woman in blue said angrily, “Sister, enough persuading me. Hurry up and tell me, don’t delay any longer.”
The nun closed her eyes and recited a few scriptures, “Sister, the rumor about a secret passage from the palace to the marketplace is just a rumor and is not reliable.”
The woman in blue disbelieved the nun’s words. She retorted excitedly, “Impossible! He said there must be such a secret passage, and there’s even a map, and the map is in your hands.”
The nun spoke slowly, “Our family participated in the restoration of the palace and did draw some maps, but they were taken by the late emperor long ago. How could he let the map be in our possession?”
The woman in blue didn’t believe a word, angrily retorting, “Sister, you’re fooling me. You must be fooling me.” She became furious, “Sister, the late emperor treated you so badly. Why do you still defend him?”
Chu Qingzhi was speechless.
Is there really a palace consort here?
Although the nun was old, traces of her youthful beauty were still visible. She was indeed qualified to be a royal consort in terms of looks.
The nun obviously didn’t want to discuss this topic and remained silent.
The woman in blue, desperate, gave an ultimatum, “Sister, if you don’t tell me, I’ll immediately send someone to capture Lin Yingmin and kill him in front of you!”
The nun continued to remain silent. She had said everything she could say, and what more was there to say!
The woman in blue, in a rage, issued a command, “Go and bring Lin Yingmin to me. Today, I must get that map!”
“Yes.” Several voices came from the shadows, and they quickly left.
Chu Qingzhi glanced at the two of them and also flew away.
“Stop!” Chu Qingzhi covered her face with a handkerchief. She appeared on a tree branch and was looking down at the four assassins down below.
The four assassins were shocked. Before Chu Qingzhi spoke, they hadn’t sensed her presence at all.
One assassin stared at Chu Qingzhi. “Whoever you are, don’t meddle in our business, or you will die a miserable death!”
Chu Qingzhi raised her hand and slapped. In the next second, a swish was heard, then the assassins’ face was slapped. “Now, you answer my questions, or… you die!”
The one who got slapped suffered some brain damage and could only be a fool in the future.
“Hahaha, hehehe…” The fierce-looking assassin transformed into a foolish, big guy.
The other three assassins stared in astonishment at their companion. In their hearts, there was fear. This strange woman slapped someone into a retard. How high was her martial skill?
Chu Qingzhi’s cold voice sounded. “Who gave you the order?”
Still, someone was not convinced. One of the assassins revealed a hidden arrow and shot it at Chu Qingzhi, “Die!”
Chu Qingzhi raised her hand, and with a slight movement of her wrist, the arrow stopped in mid-air, rapidly changing direction. She gently pushed her hand forward, and the arrow shot towards the assassin.
The assassin widened his eyes, utterly unable to react. Before he could do anything, the arrow penetrated his forehead. He fell straight to the ground, dead..
