Chapter 1594 – Accident
Rourou’s face was dark and her tone was harsh. “Go, give this to Marquis Chongwu…” She paused for a while and then barked, “Hurry along!”
White Iris bowed respectfully, “Yes, My Lady.” Her tone did not show any dissatisfaction.
She took the jade-like object from Rourou’s sharp fingers and scampered away.
Marquis Chongwu, Ning Qin…once she was out of the yard, there was a cold glare in White Iris’ eyes. She saw the fatigue in the lady’s eyes and she also noticed that the change in her mood was because of him.
This person ought to be killed!
Smack –
Smack –
The leaves along the two sides of the long street were sliced apart. A menacing sword intent was stained on every piece, and a few servants stopped a distance away from White Iris. She was a weird servant who was called into the lady’s manor. The servants’ faces turned pale.
White Iris could not be bothered to glance at them and she hurried away.
When she found Qin Yu, he was thinking about his current circumstances with Rourou’s plan.
The Li Family from the Central Desolate, the dead disciple of Parasol County…although everything seemed logical and reasonable, after thinking carefully about the sequence of events, Qin Yu’s expression turned solemn. He could confirm that the two Young Ancestors from the Central Desolate were not here for the dead Li Cangzhou. Their real objective was him!
No, more accurately speaking, their objective was to find the new Barbarian King.
A bitter smile peeked at the corners of Qin Yu’s lips. He fully trusted Rourou’s skills, otherwise, he would not be in this current state now.
If not for her, the highly revered thirteenth floor in the Central Desolate would have sent a sword for him and sliced him into eight hundred parts.
As such, he was being suspected because he was unlucky. Somewhere, somehow, he revealed some traces.
The Tomb of the Barbarian King…saving the totems of the Barbarian Clan tribes…or was it the killing of the Li Family disciple from Parasol County…
Qin Yu did not understand, but it was not important. He had to find out how to pass this hurdle. He was being eyed by the Li Family and they were a powerful clan that was ranked highly in the Central Desolate. This was even more terrifying than the Later Ye Family.
With one mishap he would be unable to redeem himself and would be killed on the spot.
“General, a servant from the lady requests an audience.” Big Head Wang hobbled over and bowed respectfully.
On the day of the assassination attempt, he rushed to the front. It was the heavens’ blessing that he survived. Using his own words, if he could protect the general, so what about his legs? Even if he broke three legs, it would not be significant.
Overall, he was not hesitant to show his loyalty!
Qin Yu suppressed his thoughts and said, “Invite her in.”
White Iris was clad in a white robe and only had her eyes exposed. She stepped in and did not bother bowing. Her eyes stared directly at Qin Yu and she did not bother hiding her cold intent.
Qin Yu’s heart clenched. He felt a threatening feeling from this white-robed lady.
However, his expression was calm. With Rourou in the manor, he was not afraid of anyone overstepping their boundaries.
Even if this white-robed lady was Rourou’s servant, she could not threaten him.
Nonetheless, Qin Yu was not in a good mood. Anyone who received such an icy cold glare from a strange, foreign servant would not be in a good mood.
“What is it?”
His voice was low and his tone was deep.
White Iris’ eyes were still cold. She took something out from her sleeves and casually threw it forward, “My lady gives this to you.”
She focused her eyes on him and then turned to leave.
There was nothing impressive about Marquis Chongwu. If he attacked her, she was confident that she would be able to take him down in a single sword strike. This man did not deserve her lady at all.
White Iris was very disappointed!
However, within her disappointment, there was eagerness to give it a try.
Looking at the back of the disrespectful servant, Qin Yu frowned. He had not seen her before. He lowered his head and looked at the item that seemed like a jade.
Right at this moment, a few images flashed across his mind. Although he could not see them clearly and the voice was muffled, he could understand what happened in these images.
A few moments later, Qin Yu opened his eyes and his gaze darkened.
As he expected, his greatest worry had come true!
The West Desolate King still had suspicions about Qin Yu. This was something that Qin Yu noted a long time ago.
After all, the continuous trials along with the Heaven Inquiry were the best evidence to support his theory.
Now, the West Desolate and the Li Family were cooperating with each other. Looking at how confident Li Ruhua was, Qin Yu knew that this was going to be a tough hurdle to cross.
He smiled bitterly. Switching appearances and changing identities to deceive everyone was something that Qin Yu did a lot of times before. Furthermore, he was pretty successful at it.
However, this time was really tough! As he expected, the stronger someone was, the harder it was to trick them.
The king on the throne in the Imperial Palace would take action soon. Qin Yu could not avoid it nor could he have any intentions to avoid it.
Otherwise, the suspicions would only grow deeper. What should he do? His head hurt!
……
White Iris hurried back to the manor. Once she arrived she bowed, “My Lady, I have sent the item over.”
Rourou glanced at her. With a ‘bam’, White Iris was thrown outwards and she landed heavily on the floor. She did not dare to use her sword intent to block the blow and her face turned pale immediately as blood dripped from the corners of her mouth, staining her white robe.
“Do you know why I hit you?”
White Iris stood up, “I am ignorant.”
Rourou scoffed and slapped White Iris. White Iris flew from the impact.
“Then get out and think carefully about why you deserved it. Come back only after you have understood!”
“My Lady!”
White Iris lifted her head up, “I…I simply felt that…Marquis Chongwu is not good enough for you…”
Slap –
Another slap to her face sent her tumbling to the ground. Both of her cheeks were swollen.
“Whether or not he deserves me is not your judgement to make. Don’t forget your identity. You are a mere servant and you dare to speak with the term ‘I’. Do you want to die?”
White Iris trembled in fear as Rourou glared at her. At this moment, she felt the aura of death.
Fear rushed up from the bottom of her heart and she struggled to kneel. Her body curved and she kowtowed, “Your servant is at fault. My Lady, please don’t be angry!”
Rourou leaned forward slightly. Her eyes were icy cold, “Remember. If you dare to hold resentment in your heart or do anything out of the ordinary, I will kill you personally.”
Her face was filled with disgust and she waved her hand, “Get lost!”
White Iris did not dare to speak and she bowed her head to floor respectfully before she turned and left.
“Hmph!”
Rourou scoffed coldly as she looked at White Iris’ back. After this beating, if the idiot did not know her status still, she deserved death.
As for the issue with the Li Family of the Central Desolate…Rourou drummed her fingers against the table. Her expression was calm.
……
Unexpectedly, the West Desolate King did not make any moves for a long time. Instead, a new storage ring was sent to Qin Yu’s manor secretly. There was information regarding the Boundary Breaking Seal in the storage ring.
Lord Chengtian smiled brightly as he patted Qin Yu on his shoulder, “Marquis Chongwu, the king orders you to return to the West Border Army camp as soon as you can.”
After the Incense Feedback when Qin Yu broke through his realm, Lord Chengtian was much more at ease. He felt that this was enough to dispel the suspicions that the West Desolate King had with regard to Qin Yu.
Now, the king was also allowing Marquis Chongwu to leave the capital and return to the West Border Army. This was the greatest evidence of his trust.
Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “Thank you for your efforts Lord Chengtian.” He hesitated before saying, “Do I need to seek His Majesty’s permission to leave the capital this time?”
Lord Chengtian waved his hand, “His Majesty has permitted you to forget it. Even important generals in the army do not receive this treatment. It demonstrates how well His Majesty thinks of you.”
Qin Yu’s face filled with appreciation and he bowed in the direction of the Imperial Palace. He said a few words of thanks so genuinely that he even started to believe his act.
“Marquis Chongwu, please take care of Hundred Saint when he works under you…you don’t have to send me off, I will take my leave.”
Lord Chengtian smiled gleefully as he left. He was in a good mood.
Looking at his back, Qin Yu’s smile gradually faded away.
He frowned slightly and his expression turned serious.
If things went slightly off course, there was a demon lurking. Deep within Qin Yu’s heart was a feeling of unease.
He thought about it and headed straight for the manor at the back of his residence.
In the past, his servants were as beautiful as fresh flowers. However, many faces had already disappeared. Qin Yu did not need to inquire about this. After all, people had to pay for the decisions they made.
In this regard, he trusted Rourou’s judgements.
“My Lady, the marquis is here!”
Knowing that their masters did not like to have people present when they talked with each other, the group of servants bowed and took their leave. White Iris was among them. When she passed by Qin Yu, she hesitated slightly and bowed.
Qin Yu had a deep impression of this strange servant. After all, anyone who made him uneasy with just their gaze was memorable.
“Who is she? Where did she come from?” Qin Yu got to the point. There was no need for them to hide much from each other at this point.
Rourou lightly said, “You caused this trouble by yourself, but you question me. Do you want to die?”
Qin Yu did not understand why she got so angry. However, he was used to Rourou’s harsh words. After thinking for a while, he frowned slightly and said, “This is the person that Great Shaman Mengshan asked me to save?”
Rourou nodded, “Her name is White Iris. She is my servant now.”
A bitter smile played on Qin Yu’s lips. She was a respected and powerful sword immortal but she was forced to be a servant to preserve her life. No wonder she was so unhappy and she got annoyed at Qin Yu.
As though she saw through Qin Yu’s thoughts, Rourou smirked, “If you are daring enough, you can ask why she doesn’t like you.”
There was a hidden meaning in her words.
Qin Yu was unsure of how to react and he coughed lightly to change the topic, “Forget it, this is not important. As long as you are willing to help her, it is fine.”
Rourou’s eyebrows raised, “You aren’t upset?”
Qin Yu’s expression was calm, “Not at all. I simply did a favor for Great Shaman Mengshan. Whoever he wants me to help and however she treats me is not important.”
Rourou stared at him in silence.
Qin Yu lifted his hand and rubbed his nose, “What, you think I am being pretentious? I probably can’t beat her and I agreed to help him. I can only pretend that I don’t care. Unless, you want me to be furious and grit my teeth angrily?”
