What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 233
233 The More You Know, the More Dangerous It Is
“I saw that you had one, so I comprehended one too.”
Song Shi chuckled. “How is it? Am I powerful?”
“…”
The corners of Chen Yiling’s mouth twitched. He muttered, “How can you comprehend it so easily? I’m the only one in the entire Great Qian. It can be seen how rare this Talent is.”
“Isn’t there one more now? Then you won’t be lonely anymore in the future, right?”
!!
Song Shi teased.
“Who’s lonely? I think you have a similar Talent as me to begin with, but you lacked an opportunity. You must have secretly watched me cultivate just now and activated your Talent.”
Chen Yiling guessed and looked at Song Shi with a complicated gaze, “No wonder I had a strange feeling about you.”
“You must have fallen in love at first sight because you were attracted to me, right?” Song Shi grinned. He was super shameless.
“How could I like an old man like you?”
Chen Yiling snorted. At this point, she hesitated for a moment, “Your current appearance is not your real appearance, right, Song Shi?”
Song Shi’s expression changed. He frowned and asked, “How did you recognize me?”
Crack!
His bones made a crisp sound, and his flesh squirmed. In the blink of an eye, he returned to normal and transformed into a graceful young master.
Chen Yiling watched in a daze as her eyes flashed. “It’s really you, but I’m not sure if it’s Song Shi now. After all, you’ve been possessed by the Blood-Robed old ghost and the Ye Family’s patriarch one after another. In that case, you are an old monster. There’s a high chance that you are the Blood-Robed old ghost.”
“Is age very important for cultivators?”
Song Shi did not explain who he was. He said with ill intentions, “Since you know that I’m the Blood-Robed old ghost. Aren’t you afraid of losing your chastity?”
Chen Yiling paused on purpose and could only put on a tough front, “How dare you!”
“What’s there to be afraid of? I, the Blood-Robed old ghost, kill people like flies and do all kinds of evil. Isn’t it normal for me to impregnate you?”
When Chen Yiling heard this, he looked at Song Shi in a daze. “You’re not the Blood-Robed old ghost, you’re Song Shi! Impossible, how can you be Song Shi? How did you escape being possessed by a Golden Core like the Blood-Robed old ghost, or even a Nascent Soul like Patriarch Ye?”
Song Shi narrowed his eyes. How did this woman discover that he was Song Shi and not the Blood-Robed old ghost?
“You are indeed Song Shi!”
Chen Yiling was shocked. “To be able to avoid being possessed by a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul, you must have some soul-protecting treasure, right?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Remember, I am the Blood-Robed old ghost!”
Song Shi did not admit it.
Chen Yiling chuckled, “I can sense who you are. There are some things that can’t be hidden.”
“How?” Song Shi was curious.
“Woman’s intuition.”
Chen Yiling raised her head. In fact, she could tell based on the Sword Body Spiritual Conduit and this person’s temperament and demeanor.
She had also come into contact with Song Shi before, so she was certain that the Blood-Robed old ghost and Ye Wenzhong could not be like this.
“I don’t know how to argue with that. You can think what you want.”
Song Shi tactfully stopped arguing about this matter. Otherwise, he would feel like he had been exposed.
He stood up, put away the array disc and left with Chen Yiling in his arms.
In front of the Song residence, Chen Yiling was put down. Otherwise, it would be strange if she was seen carried by him.
Seeing the place where Song Shi came from, Chen Yiling smiled, “Blood-Robed old ghost and Ye Wenzhong won’t care about the Song family’s survival.”
Song Shi glanced at her, “Chen Yiling, you’re too smart.”
The latter’s smile widened, and she was even more certain of her deduction.
Song Shi continued, “You have to understand that the more you know, the more dangerous it will be. The more you know, the less likely I will let you leave.”
Chen Yiling’s expression changed. Oh no, she knew too many of this man’s secrets. It would be even more troublesome for her to escape.
“Seventh brother, who is this?”
As soon as he entered, he saw Chen Yiling, who had an extraordinary aura. He winked and asked, “Sister-in-law?”
“Ahem, a friend. You can get to know her. She’s an official from Great Qian and she is someone who can help you in the future
Song Shi coughed.
Chen Yiling smiled generously and introduced himself. “Hello, I’m Chen Yiling, the commander of the Zenith Heaven Sword Guards.”
“Zenith Heaven Sword Guards…”
Song Hai was shocked for a moment and hurriedly said, “Sister-in-law, you’re being too polite. I’m his older brother, Song Hai.”
Chen Yiling blushed, “Brother Song, we really don’t have that kind of relationship.”
Song Shi was speechless. He knew that his fourth brother was doing this on purpose, so he did not explain further. He took out a jade plate. “Fourth Brother, this array disc is for you. It can set up a small Array Formation that is effective for those below the Golden Core realm. Also, if you pick up any cultivation resources along the way, take them with you.”
He handed the array disc and Xie Shen’s storage bag to Song Hai. “Don’t stand on ceremony with me. I’ll be leaving for a while.”
“Are you leaving now? I still want to invite you to…”
Song Hai recalled that Chen Yiling was beside him and replaced the New Moon Brothel with a restaurant. He said, “I still wanted us to have a good drink.”
“Let’s forget about drinking. Have some tea instead.”
Song Shi waved his hand and took out the Wisdom Tea. Previously, in order to drink tea, he had specially used the contribution points of the Heavenly Ghost Sect to exchange for tea sets and spiritual spring water.
When Chen Yiling saw the tea leaves, she walked over to take a look and said in surprise, “This is Wisdom Tea. I remember now. The Wisdom Tea Tree that your Heavenly Ghost Sect obtained in the Thousand Poisons Mountain Range previously.”
“Brother, you’re rich.”
Song Hai’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He rubbed his hands and said happily, “I heard that this tea can unlock wisdom and increase Comprehension. I’m really looking forward to the effect of drinking it.”
“It’ll clear your head.”
Song Shi voiced out his feelings. He formed a seal and pointed at the tea table. The runes on it lit up and absorbed the power of the spirit stone to condense flames and start boiling water.
He looked at Chen Yiling. “Do you know how to make tea? If you do, you can do it. I don’t know much. I only know how to heat tea leaves.”
“Yes, I do.”
Chen Yiling nodded decisively and stretched out her slender hands to fiddle with the tea set in an orderly manner.
“A lady from a wealthy family is indeed different.”
Song Shi quietly admired it. Tea ceremony was also an art. He had enjoyed it a lot in the New Moon Brothel in the past.
“Old Seventh, it seems like you’re really promising. I’ve only heard of this tea in rumors before.”
Song Hai sighed.
“This was from an ancient tea tree. There aren’t many of them in the entire Great Qian. It’s indeed rare.”
Chen Yiling nodded.
“Since I’m treating you to a drink, don’t think too much.”
Song Shi knew that his fourth brother was thinking too much. He shook his head. “You should know that Father and the others are at the third brother’s place in Jinzhou, right?”
When Song Shi mentioned others, he did not avoid Chen Yiling’s presence. With Chen Yiling’s Ability, it was easy for her to investigate his family background.
“I know. Third Brother sent me a letter, but…”
At this point, Song Hai’s face darkened, “He’s mostly responsible for the family’s accident. I’m still very unhappy that he’s hiding in Jinzhou to freeload. I don’t want to contact him anymore in this life!”
“Freeloader, to freeload?”
Song Shi was a little interested.
“He hooked up with a young lady from a cultivation family. That family is quite strong. It’s also because of this that he abandoned the Zhang family’s daughter back then.”
Song Hai said something that Song Shi did not know.
“Stupid man!”
Chen Yiling snorted.
“He’s indeed a scumbag, but we’re innocent. We were even implicated by the trouble he caused. Don’t you think it’s unfair?”
The more Song Shi thought about it, the more displeased he became. Song Hu was living a good life outside and hugging beauties. Yet their house and assets had almost been stolen. How was this fair?
