Chapter 72: Argument
The four quarters of demon masters did not exist a hundred years ago, so all the kids wanting to become a demon master needed to find a teacher to learn the craft.
Controlling the spiritual power from the hidden pulse was not easy. One must start young, join a sect, and acquire a master to become a second parent. There were strict rules against a master and disciple love affair, even today. Ji Yunhe was silent and did not tell Qing Ji about the woman in white.
What she knew from her dreams were mostly from her own guesses, and she could not tell Qing Ji about things that had not been confirmed.
If Qing Ji knew it was the Grand Master who had killed Ning Ruochu, she might recklessly go fight him. Even though she was likely the only one in this world powerful enough to take him on, no one had really seen his true strength over the past century. It was too difficult to predict who would win in the end… And something happening to Qing Ji was the last thing Ji Yunhe wanted.
Not only because her existence brought a lot of confidence to the people in the Northlands, her friendship was also very important to Ji Yunhe. Ji Yunhe pursed her lips and did not say anything more.
In the following days, Ji Yunhe hoped to see the woman in her dreams to clarify everything, but she did not appear again.bIt seemed the closer she was to death, the more clearly she could see the woman. But once she got the jiaozhu, even if it was just looking and feeling better, she could not see the woman anymore...
Maybe a link between life and death really did exist...
There was no time for Ji Yunhe to dwell on these spiritual matters, Ling Haoqing was marching over right this minute with his army of demon masters.
Changyi was getting busier. People came looking for him all day long outside the screen. Ji Yunhe did not have time to say a single word to him for several days, but miraculously, she would always see him sitting at her bed every evening when she woke up. And he would only leave after she opened her eyes.
Today, Ji Yunhe woke up but did not rush to open her eyes. She felt her wrist being held gently and cool fingertips on top of her pulse. The moment she opened her eyes, the fingertips withdrew themselves.
Hidden thoughts and suppressed emotions, Ji Yunhe let out a silent sigh. While he turned to leave, she reached out her hand and took a hold of his wrist.
"Changyi." She watched as his ice blue pupils began to ripple and stir.
"How are you going to handle Lin Haoqing?"
After hearing her ask about this matter, the ripples disappeared.
"What? Is Master Warden going to plead for Lin Haoqing for the sake of your old time friendship?"
The voice of Kongming came from behind Changyi. Ji Yunhe tilted her head and saw the monk arranging his needle bag at the small tea table.
Kongming walked over with a silver needle and said, "If you have the energy, why don't you talk to the fish about taking back his pearl. Otherwise, we might need you to plead to Lin Haoqing for us instead." Changyi brushed away Ji Yunhe's hand.
"I know what I'm doing, others don't need to say anything." Then he turned away and sat down in front of the screen.
The seal reactivated again. Ji Yunhe turned her head back just in time to feel a sharp pain on her forehead. The monk had roughly stabbed her with a silver needle. She was not sure if he was helping her or just venting. But Ji Yunhe did not take it to heart.
"You guys shouldn't deal with Lin Haoqing and his men with brute force. Princess Shunde knows your strengths very well, her plan is most likely not to have him destroy you, but to wear down both of your resources."
"Oh? Then according to the Master Warden, what should we do?"
"The aim is not to fight, but to make them give up without fighting. Use a formation to slow them down, ease their momentum, and convince Lin Haoqing to surrender." After this statement, Kongming's needlework on her became gentler.
"No wonder that fish likes you so much. You guys truly think alike." Ji Yunhe was surprised.
