Chapter 9: Setting A Trap
Chapter 9: Setting A Trap
Hua Qiyue had heard of the Insanity Technique from her previous memories of this body. Qi Artists were rare, and Soul Takers were even less. It was said that there were only three Soul Seekers in Tianyuan Continent.
Even if they were alone, they could kill tens of millions of soldiers in an instant! Just one move of a finger could cause thousands of soldiers to run away in fear!
As a result, countless people who tried to force them to hand over their Insanity Technique book were killed. As time passed, no one ever dared to challenge them.
From then on, the three Soul Takers lived in deep mountains. Their families were prosperous and they had countless treasures, but no one dared to lay a finger on them.
But how could this mysterious man in front of her do Insanity technique?
Hua Qiyue was deeply surprised. If this man was really that strong, why would he impart the knowledge to her?
What was his purpose? Who was he?
Hua Qiyue was confused by the green jade gourd. But obviously, the "master" in front of her did not want her to know much, so he waved his hand, "Go back now. Come here every night. I will teach you to do the Qi Art."
A strong gust of wind blew over. Hua Qiyue felt that the scenery around her changing into the carriage, and then she saw the worried eyes of Lvxin and Youshui.
"Miss, miss? Wake up! "
Lvxin shook her body and cried anxiously. Hua Qiiyue blinked, sat up slowly, and looked around. There was no wasteland but the carriage.
"I... What happened to me?"
"How would I know? Miss, you opened your eyes suddenly and didn’t move at all. We were so scared. Did you have a brain injury? Shall we call a doctor?"
Lvxin touched Hua Qiyue’s forehead. The temperature was normal. she looked Hua Qiyue up and down.
"I... I’m fine." Hua Qiyue replied with a low voice. It seemed that what happened just now was true.
She was not happy at all. It was not a good thing to get help from that person.
A powerful person wanted to impart her the Qi Art and the Insanity Technique. Why? Maybe...he just wanted to get rid of the jade gourd? In Hua Qiyue’s previous life, she was only a businesswoman, and had never had any contact with a Qi Artist. She was always busy running the restaurant. But suddenly she had to face such a situation, which made her at a loss. Had it not been for the memory of the former owner, she would have collapsed
But the most important thing now was to bring her son out from the hellish Zhou’s Mansion.
Seeing Hua Qiyue’s serious expression, Lvxin and Youshui did not dare to disturb her. They looked at each other and wondered if they should call a doctor for her.
However, it was good that she was sick. Hua Qiyue was no longer the Hua Qiyue she used to be. She was smarter and more careful now. If it was the previous Miss Hua Qiyue, she would have been stigmatized and hanged herself.
Two days later, they arrived at the capital’s gate. Lvxin told the coachman to go to the Rongfu Temple for Hua Qiyue had told her before that she wanted to visit Master Xuanji.
Rongfu Temple became famous after Master Xuanji came here. The small temple was always bustling with noise and excitement, with countless pilgrims coming in and out.
Within a month, Rongfu Temple became as famous as the renowned Hanyue Temple.
The Rongfu Temple was located at the foot of Baili Mountain outside the capital city. There were roads paved with bluestones. Blue water rippled in the lotus pond and the the path was landscaped with willows. The temple had a constant stream of pilgrims.
The Rongfu Temple was just a small temple, but it was crowded with people. Although Hua Qiyue had a bad reputation, she came from a good family, so there was a young monk bringing her through the back door to visit Master Xuanji.
A visit to the master would cost ten taels of silver. It was too expensive for an ordinary family.
Therefore, most of the pilgrims crowded at the back door, hoping to catch a glimpse of Xuanji.
Hua Qiyue and Youshui walked into the rear hall together, only to see a monk in green robe standing in front of the water pavilion. The breeze was gently blowing at the corners of his robe.
"Master Xuanji, this is the young miss of the Hua’s Family."
Hua Qiyue handed the 10 taels of silver over to the young monk. Turning her head, she saw Xuanji. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Although he had shaved his hair off, he looked extremely handsome.
She was surprised to see him so young. She thought he must be an old monk over fifty years old who had the mind to cheat pilgrims.
"Youshui, you can leave for now. I have something to say to the Master."
Hua Qiyue said with a smile. But Youshui immediately shook her head. She couldn’t leave her there with that monk. If word got out, the young lady’s reputation would be mud.
Hua Qiyue could only let Youshui stand further away. She talked to Master Xuanji for a short while, then they walked towards the back door with smiles on their faces.
Youshui was surprised. She couldn’t hear what they said, and now Xuan Ji himself saw her off?It was incredible?
Although people could pay Master Xuanji to have him tell their fortune, he had never treated a female pilgrim like that.
Master Xuanji and Hua Qiyue walked to the back door and caused a commotion among the pilgrims. They screamed, all wanting to be closer to the master.
Unfortunately, they were stopped by dozens of strong monks.
"Watch your step, Miss. Take care. Remember to adopt a boy born in February as your foster son. He can help you avoid disaster and marry a good husband!"
Xuan Ji’s voice was not loud, but many pilgrims heard what he had said.
"Thank you, Master Xuanji. I will remember that."
Hua Qiyue made a bow and left with You Shui who had a puzzled look on her face. The pilgrims were talking about her. They seldom saw her, but they felt that this beautiful and peaceful lady did not look like a useless coward at all.
