Chapter 1535 – She Was It
If there was no explanation today, Marshal Wu was going to let General Jinwu and Lord Chengtian know what it meant to be an elder in the army.
Qin Yu noticed the icy tone that Marshal Wu had. He was not here to fight with him.
No matter what, he had to settle the situation. He thought quickly, “Marshal, please calm down. I have something important, I did not mean to offend you.”
He said it sincerely.
Wu Tongtian frowned slightly. Qin Yu’s behavior now was unexpected. If he wanted to do something with Lord Chengtian, he would not be behaving like this.
Thinking about it, he waved his hand, “Have a seat.”
“Thank you Marshal!” Qin Yu sat and looked around.
Wu Tongtian said slowly, “Everyone in the marshal tent are people that I trust.” This was the standard. With a single sentence, everyone in the room sat a little straighter and held their brushes properly.
Qin Yu replied, “In that case, I will just speak.” He took a deep breath, “Marshal, my origin is not a secret and I believe you know. To be promoted to become a general in the army is many people’s dream, but I am filled with fear.
“It is not that I intentionally want to make things difficult for you, but sometimes, I don’t have a choice…after all, I am just a chess piece and I hope you can understand.”
This…was he submitting and reasoning with him? Everyone in the tent was surprised as their eyes widened. They could not understand what was going on.
There was a glimmer in Wu Tongtian’s eyes but he remained calm.
“General Jinwu, your words are too heavy. We are both generals of the empire and should devote our lives to His Majesty and the West Desolate.”
Qin Yu sighed and looked helpless, “It is natural that you may not believe me. I will use my actions in the future to prove myself.”
He was running out of things to say; why wasn’t she here yet? If she delayed any longer, he would not know how to drag this out any more!
At this moment, there was an announcement from outside the tent – Lady Rourou from the Demon Sect was asking to meet the Marshal.
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a bit…she was here!
Wu Tongtian glanced over and he frowned slightly. He was not sure what General Jinwu was trying to do today.
Of course, he did not believe a single word that General Jinwu had said.
“Let her in.”
The entrance to the tent was pulled open and Rourou stepped in. She looked timid and quickly greeted, “Greetings, Marshal.” She bit her lip, “I came…to find my general…he suddenly left…and I was alone and afraid…”
Superb acting skills!
This expression, this tone, this gaze…absolutely perfect.
Wu Tongtian looked at Qin Yu. He was extremely confused.
He felt slightly giddy as he did not understand what was going on.
At this moment, Qin Yu could not be bothered about what the Marshal felt. His chance was here and he had to find out the origins of this lady from the Demon Sect!
He established a connection with the Spirit Embryo and deep inside Qin Yu’s eyes, there was a light. He turned and looked at Rourou.
There was a silent whirlpool behind her. It seemed to be near yet far.
It was terrifying and vast!
Although he had already experienced it, when he saw it he could not help but panic and feel anxious. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
But he did not look away. Instead, he concentrated even more.
This was the most suitable time that Qin Yu could find, with Wu Tongtian and the marshal tent as his security.
It was all to look at the whirlpool.
A faint familiarity appeared in his heart. The feeling of being surrounded quickly faded away.
All of a sudden, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck through clouds in Qin Yu’s mind.
Numerous broken fragments appeared in his eyes. That tiny red lips, the straight and round nose, that white slender finger.
The truth was out. So…she was it!
Rourou sighed internally as she glanced at Qin Yu. She did not understand why his gaze had changed.
It seemed like something had happened after he left the underground mine.
As the thoughts ran in her mind, her expression did not change. Rourou still looked like the timid and vulnerable lady from the Demon Sect.
She looked uneasy as General Jinwu stared at her and she lowered her head, seeming like a small cowering animal. It made others feel protective over her.
Marshal Wu was not so easily affected by external things.
He was expressionless when he spoke, “General Jinwu.”
Qin Yu took a deep breath and bowed, “Sorry, I have some things to handle. I will not bother you anymore.”
Rourou stood up and followed him out.
Seeing the two of them leave, Wu Tongtian slowly started to frown. He felt like the things that happened today were strange.
General Jinwu…what was he trying to do?
Leaving the marshal tent, Qin Yu walked in front while Rourou followed behind. Neither of them spoke.
Hundred Saint’s face was pale as he bowed from afar, but did not dare to go near as he felt uneasy.
Outside the tent.
Qin Yu looked around, “You can all leave. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come near!”
“Yes General!”
He walked into the tent and turned to see Rourou follow him in.
Rourou blinked and looked timid.
His mouth twitched as Qin Yu took a deep breath and bowed, “Previously, I did not know that you were here. Please forgive me if I offended you.”
There was a silence.
Qin Yu got up and looked at her strangely. He did not understand, “If you want to continue acting, I can pretend not to know anything and continue to cooperate with you…but there is no point.”
Rourou looked up and rolled her eyes, “Qin Yu, you are really useless. You already know that once you expose me there is no point, yet you still do it.”
Her voice changed into a more flirty one. With this face, it was breathtaking.
Qin Yu looked at her, “I need an explanation.”
Why did the mysterious being from space time change into Lady Rourou from the Demon Sect and stay by his side?
“The explanation is that it is a coincidence.” Rourou walked to the side and sat down, “Previously, when you went to the Demon Sect, I unknowingly felt a special aura.”
She lifted her hand and touched her cute nose, “That’s right. It was this lady. Although her cultivation is weak, she could still be my medium. You probably don’t know, but when I exist like this, my powers are severely restricted even though I am still strong. It is very hard for me to descend in this world and it has been a while since I roamed around.
“So I came over. It is like a vacation. I never thought that you would notice me so quickly.”
Once she finished speaking, she blinked and looked impatient.
Qin Yu frowned. He did not know whether to believe her.
Rourou rolled her eyes, “Don’t overthink it. If I wanted to hurt you, why would I go through all this trouble? Moreover, don’t forget that I am helping you and that is why you can live peacefully.
“Hehe! If you are unhappy, I can leave now. You can settle all your things by yourself; I won’t help you!”
Qin Yu lifted his hand, “Three conditions.”
Rourou clapped her hands and laughed, “I knew that you would not be ungrateful. Speak!”
“Number one. When you are with me, you can’t do things on your own and create trouble.”
“Okay.”
“Number two. If there are any incidents, you have to help me.”
“Okay but let me tell you first. In my current condition, I don’t have much power that I can use. You better do things carefully.”
Qin Yu looked at her, “Number three…I haven’t thought about it. I will tell you next time.”
Rourou rolled her eyes, “Qin Yu, you cannot keep asking for more just because I like you.”
She sneered, “Let me tell you. When I get angry, even I scare myself!”
Qin Yu ignored her, “Okay, it is settled then!”
He stood up and left.
“Where are you going?”
“To meet someone.”
Qin Yu suddenly stopped as he turned back, “You went directly to the marshal tent? Aren’t you afraid…”
If he had not recognized her, there was a possibility of getting killed in the marshal tent!
Rourou looked confused, “Afraid of? Little chicken said I should come, so I came.”
……
Chicken overlord was careful as he hid in a corner to observe the tent. His eyes were filled with anxiety. Although before he had been angry and wanted to drag Qin Yu down.
But when things really happened, he suddenly realized what was going on and felt scared. Qin Yu, that jinx, was not so easy to mess with. If he found out about this, the consequences…
Hiss –
He did not dare to think about it. As soon as he did, his heart felt like exploding!
At this moment, there was one thought that kept rolling in his mind – should he run away before everything was exposed?
Suddenly, the tent was pushed open and Qin Yu stepped out. Perhaps it was his senses – he looked over and stared straight into chicken overlord’s eyes.
It was just a look before Qin Yu left without saying anything or showing anything.
Badam –
Chicken overlord stiffened and fell flat to the ground like wood.
His mouth was tilted and he was in a daze.
Finished. He was absolutely finished!
He had received the warning in Qin Yu’s eyes…if you dare to run, you are dead!
He knew!
At this moment, chicken overlord’s heart turned to dust and his intestines shrivelled up.
But he did not dare to run away.
“Chicken overlord, General wanted me to tell you to stay beside Lady Rourou from now on.” After Hundred Saint spoke, he could not help but reach out to touch his stiff body. Sympathy filled his eyes.
Glug glug glug…
There was a terrible sound from his throat and chicken overlord’s eyes rolled back as he fainted.
……
Qin Yu did not lie, he was really going to meet someone.
Marshal Wu knew that Lord Chengtian was going to come. As the one chosen by the West Desolate’s king, he knew about this a long time ago.
Previously, because of Lady Rourou, Qin Yu was feeling uneasy and had no time to think about this. Now that it was cleared, he started to wonder…what was Lord Chengtian here for?
Although Marshal Wu had lost face when he pretended to be dead, it was impossible to want to get rid of a Marshal just because of this.
Just as he was thinking, there was a report that Lord Chengtian’s group was about to reach.
At this moment, Qin Yu could sense the gazes around him. It was obvious that the other generals in the army wanted to get some information from observing Qin Yu.
But it was a pity that Qin Yu himself was confused and could not give them any hints.
