Chapter 603: Chapter 301: A Thousand Faces, Everyone Acts

Silver Moon Tower.

The soft moonlight streamed through the carved windows, interweaving with the warm light inside to create a dreamlike atmosphere.

A charming woman reclined on an exquisitely carved rosewood bed, holding an ancient tome in her hands, her focused gaze slowly moving with the text on the pages.

The occasional soft turning of a page sounded particularly clear in the quiet room.

"Aren’t you surprised at all?"

In the room, sitting in the corner, Li Guanshi asked softly.

Jiang Yi’s gaze still lingered on the book, as she asked faintly, "Surprised by what?"

Li Guanshi slowly stood up.

She walked over to the bed and her lips curled into a faint smile:

"I thought you would scold me fiercely or perhaps drive me out or even..."

"You think too much."

The woman on the bed wore a light gauzy dress that softly clung to her graceful figure, subtly revealing the gentle curves beneath her delicate skin.

With the airy and elegant canopies reflected around her, she resembled a fairy in the deep chambers of a night moon.

This was Jiang Yi.

Always enchanting, whether at home or outside.

Jiang Yi’s slender fingers gently caressed the edge of the paper, her tone indifferent:

"I indeed had believed that Qingchen was my sister’s daughter, and if I had wanted, I actually could have investigated some truths. Yet deep down, I didn’t wish to delve too deep.

Now that you tell me the truth, I’m not that angry, after all, whose daughter she is doesn’t matter anymore. According to you, she’s already dead."

Li Guanshi looked up at the night sky through the window, her eyes revealing a distant train of thought: "Do you think Yan Changqing will kill me?"

Jiang Yi slightly tilted her head, letting a strand of hair slip from her ear, then she lightly stroked it back behind her ear and smiled: "Well then, guess if I wish Yan Changqing would kill you?"

Li Guanshi was about to speak when her eyebrows lightly raised.

A fine strand of sword energy passed through the window, shooting straight for Li Guanshi.

Instantly, the room was full of swirling sword Qi.

Li Guanshi raised her jade hand, her fingers elegantly spread like orchids, and she steadily blocked the Yin Yang Hetu Flying Sword intertwined with black and white energy in front of her palm.

The flying sword hovered above her palm, emitting a faint and continuous buzzing sound.

Waves of invisible sword Qi wreaked havoc around her, stirring up the air and making Li Guanshi’s hair and skirt flutter as if whipped by a fierce wind.

The flying sword inched forward bit by bit.

Its distance from Li Guanshi’s palm was only a hairbreadth away.

Jiang Yi pulled over a blanket to cover herself, and cursed with annoyance, "Yan Changqing you bastard, if you want to fight, go elsewhere, don’t come here to show off your prowess!"

Boom—

Li Guanshi staggered back several steps, stabilizing herself.

She slowly pulled out the Hetu flying sword that had penetrated her palm, smiling at Yan Changqing who appeared in the room: "Brother Yan indeed reached the Heavenly Human Realm."

Blood dripped down the woman’s hand.

Even Li Guanshi couldn’t heal her wound immediately after being injured by the Yin Yang Hetu Flying Sword.

Yan Changqing ignored the cursing Jiang Yi, took the Hetu Flying Sword from the woman’s hand, and held it beside him, staring at Li Guanshi and demanding, "Tell me the truth."

Li Guanshi looked down at the chilling wound on her palm, casually wrapped it with a strip of cloth, and said with a smile, "Actually, what I know is not as much as you imagine."

"Tell me as much as you know."

Yan Changqing said flatly.

Li Guanshi, with profound eyes, stood by the window and slowly began:

"Twenty years ago, Sister Jiang accidentally saved an infant girl and initially sent her to the South Sea Holy Sect. Since the infant had an exceptional constitution and seemed spiritual, I uncharacteristically took her as my disciple.

However, not long after that, Sister Jiang came back and took the infant away, and furthermore, she publicly declared her as her daughter.

Before she left, she created a puppet doll in the sacred shrine, sealing the Asura Demonic Qi inside the doll from the infant and also placing her body under surveillance.

At the time, I didn’t pay much attention to this matter and didn’t understand why Sister Jiang would acknowledge this infant as her daughter, nor why she would marry into the Ran Family.

Honestly, I wasn’t concerned about these matters, and even if I wanted to ask, Sister Jiang wouldn’t tell me. But I had already guessed that Ran Qingchen was from the Asura Clan."

Li Guanshi sighed, looking at Yan Changqing, and said:

"Brother Yan, you know the current condition of your daughter; the only way to save her is to risk death to seek life. You know better than anyone how your wife died, it wasn’t my intention to harm the girl."

Yan Changqing uncorked a wine bottle, casually sniffed the liquor inside, and said lightly, "Do you think Jiang Wan will show up?"

"She will."

Li Guanshi confidently answered.

Yan Changqing further inquired, "Originally, when I detected the Asura Demonic Qi on your disciple’s flying sword, why did she have it? What did she do to Qingchen?"

Li Guanshi’s beautiful eyes darkened: "More than a year ago, my relationship with her almost broke off because she wanted to use the Asura Demonic Qi sealed within the puppet doll."

Even with his earlier suspicions, Yan Changqing was inevitably shocked.

Once she absorbed the Asura Demonic Qi, she undoubtedly put herself at death’s door, practically stepping into Yama’s Palace... no wonder the girl needed the help of a nine-tailed fox to survive.

"What did she absorb the Asura Demonic Qi for?"

Yan Changqing was puzzled.

Li Guanshi’s exquisitely beautiful face lit up with a radiant smile: "You’d have to ask her about that, even immortals would find it hard to understand that girl’s mind."
