The mountain wind whistled, and Qing Yu’s words did not come for a long time.
The longer he waited, the better Lu Qifeng’s mood became. At least from this, it could be seen that Qing Yu actually held Li Xin, or his identity, in extremely high regard.
But for some reason, there was still a trace of unease in Lu Qifeng’s heart.
This trace of uneasiness also grew stronger as time pa*sed.
”No, with Qing Yu’s heart, he wouldn’t have hesitated for so long.” Lu Qifeng concluded in his heart, and was about to make a sound to test the waters.
Just then, a letter eagle let out a hawk’s cry and came cutting through the air.
“My lord, it’s our Department Six’s letter eagle.” After looking at the letter eagle, Fujirei reported to Lu Qifeng.
“I know.” Lu Qifeng looked at the letter eagle, his eyes filled with gloom.
After the letter eagle appeared, his heart grew more and more uneasy for some unknown reason.
“Summon it down.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Fujirei flexed his fingers on his lips and whistled. When the letter eagle heard the whistle, it immediately flew down and landed on Fujirei’s outstretched arm.
After removing the small letter tube tied to the letter eagle’s leg, Fujirei respectfully handed it to Lu Qifeng, “My lord.”
“Hm.” Lu Qifeng nodded gently, took the parchment rolled into a single roll and rolled it open to examine it.
At this glance, although his face did not show a different colour, Vine Rui, who was closer, noticed that Lu Qifeng’s hand was gripping the parchment tightly and his hand was bruised.
“Divine Constable Lu, after reading this letter, do you still want to stick to your previous request?” Qing Yu’s voice came late, but it gave the impression that he was waiting for just one moment.
“You’re waiting for this letter?” Lu Qifeng lifted his head and stared straight up into the mid-air where the mountain wind was howling, as if Qing Yu was standing there.
“Naturally,” a soft laugh came from the wind as Qing Yu said, “how can we negotiate if we don’t have the corresponding capital?”
“Divine Constable Lu, earlier you presented your demands, now I present mine. One for one, your beloved disciple for my men, fair enough, isn’t it?”
The mountain breeze carried Qing Yu’s offer, and then there was silence again.
Only this time, the silence changed to that of Lu Qifeng.
“Luo Yan is still in the territory of the Great Qian. With the ability of Department Six, it is not unlikely that we can find Luo Yan by digging into the ground.” Lu Qifeng said coldly.
After Yuan Jian Yi had captured Luo Yan, he had handed him over to the people of the Green Dragon Society who had come to meet him.
So Department Six could not go to the Sword Dao Palace to ask for Luo Yan. But the Green Dragon Society had little power in Northern Zhou and could not hide for long.
“That is correct. The premise is that I have not asked for help from anyone else. With what they can do over there, they can’t make a move, but it’s still no problem to provide a safe location. Besides, you and I are negotiating right now, and if Luo fails to negotiate, I will use Luo Yan’s life to bury Li Xin.”
The soft, leisurely words were better than swords to Lu Qi Feng at this time. The failure of the entrapment plan there had put his own beloved disciple in danger.
Lu Qifeng’s face once again took on an iron blue hue, his hands bursting with Qi energy, tearing the letter he had just received into pieces.
“It is to exchange Luo Yan for Li Xin, and your secret is still in my hands.”
The tone was still strong, but it did not change the weakness of Lu Qifeng’s verbal focus. Qing Yu had caught his weakness, and he had begun to compromise.
“Keeping the secret is what will allow the peace between you and me to last a little longer. Lu Shenshu, in fact, you know that this so-called secret is no longer a substantial threat to me. So why bother with it?
Besides, unless you die, how can I put an end to the spread of this so-called secret? But really so threaten me with this, there’s really no need.”
The tables began to turn, and unknowingly, the initiative of the discourse seemed to fall to Qingyu.
“So, what is your choice? Lu Shenshu, my patience is limited, within a quarter of an hour, without a reply, I will send a message to take off Luo Yan’s head. Done and done.”
Compared to the previous Lu Qifeng, Qing Yu now gave a direct time limit, after a quarter of an hour, as long as the negotiation did not come to an agreement or fell apart, Luo Yan would die.
The ruthlessness in his words was felt by Lu Qifeng.
This was the real Qing Yu, ruthless and decisive.
Lu Qifeng would not doubt Qing Yu’s determination, for he knew that the other party was in all probability serious.
Even if it was a lie, Lu Qifeng would not dare to bet on it.
It had to be said that Qing Yu had really caught Lu Qifeng’s soft spot. Qing Yu, who had spent some time with Luo Yan, knew clearly the bond between their master and disciple, and with Luo Yan at hand, the probability of Lu Qifeng agreeing was close to 100 percent.
“I promise you.” In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Qifeng compromised.
“Li Xin is in this hut, and I can hand it over to you immediately.”
“I don’t want to tear up with you at the moment, you don’t need to worry about me going back on my word.” On the mountain breeze came Qing Yu’s voice, which had been predicted.
“I hope so.”
Lu Qifeng nodded coldly and stiffly, “Go.”
He led the men of Department Six away very simply, not even looking back, looking like he was really going to give up.
But ——
‘A mile away, Lu Qifeng lost sight of me, it looks like he’s trying to keep watch and follow Li Xin to find me, or ——‘
A cold aura flashed in Qing Yu’s eyes.
Lu Qifeng is obviously a thief and still wants Qing Yu’s life to solve the problem at the root.
And on Li Xin’s side, Qing Yu also had a bad premonition.
His figure disappeared in a steep vanishment, and in a silent manner, Qing Yu entered the open door of the hut with “Harmony with Light”.
The people from the Green Dragon Society outside and Lu Qifeng, who was hiding a mile away and listening, did not sense any trace of Qing Yu and let him enter the hut.
After entering the hut, Qing Yu finally saw Li Xin, whom he had not seen for a long time.
The man was already dying, not to mention talking, and even opening his eyes was a struggle.
The first time I saw him, I was able to see him.
True qi steeply expanded and the Zhouliu eight jin formed itself, isolating the inside from the outside. Qing Yu looked at Li Xin, who was about to die, and sighed long and hard, “It’s me who dragged you into this.”
When Department Six had captured Li Xin, they would not have failed to torture him.
Not to mention the severe torture, Qing Yu deduced that Department Six should have also conducted a soul search to read his memory. Li Xin had not yet become a divine being, and after the soul search, his mind had been traumatised, and his sanity was nearly destroyed.
Qing Yu took out the Nine Springs and Blood Jade Leaf Flower from his bosom, plucked off three jade leaves, and used the Yin Yang Clan’s unique secret method to directly refine its medicinal power, then transmitted it into Li Xin’s body with his true qi.
Although there were limitations to this, after all, the Nine Springs and Blood Jade Leaf Flower only had a rating of three and a half stars, it was more than enough to save Li Xin at the Innate Realm.
However, there was nothing that Qing Yu could do about the spiritual damage.
