The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 397 - 395: Do You Want to Destroy Our Marital Relationship?

Chapter 397: Chapter 395: Do You Want to Destroy Our Marital Relationship?

Qi Ling put away the porcelain bottle but still didn’t consume the medicine.

"That woman indeed knows some bizarre and arcane techniques, she can release bursts of black qi that kill anyone upon contact. And her speed is very fast.

When I first saw her, she was a hundred meters away, but suddenly she appeared right in front of me."

Thinking of that black-robed woman, Qi Ling’s expression showed wariness.

Qin Zhao and Shangguan Qiu exchanged a look, their expressions somewhat grave.

"How long did it take her to kill those people?"

"A few minutes? Maybe even shorter, anyway, they died very quickly. Plus, those people were assassins after me, all of them skilled, but they didn’t have a chance to resist at all."

Qin Zhao mused and then said to Shangguan Qiu, "Instantaneous Movement over a hundred meters, killing more than a dozen people in the blink of an eye, her cultivation might be even higher than yours. Although you have the Changyuan Sword, it’s no surprise you couldn’t catch her."

Shangguan Qiu nodded, "We still need to find her as soon as possible. Such a dangerous person should not be unknown, I can ask the elders at home to investigate."

The Heavenly Master Sect was responsible not just for supernatural incidents but also for exterminating harmful Evil Cultivators.

There were few cultivators in this world, and consequently, not many Evil Cultivators. Shangguan Qiu typically dealt with exorcising spirits, rarely encountering harmful Evil Cultivators, especially not one this formidable.

Shangguan Qiu continued to inquire, "Why didn’t she kill you?"

"How would I know? She even said she wouldn’t harm me. Can you believe the words of such a person? I don’t, so you’d better deal with her."

If it weren’t for his own safety, Qi Ling wouldn’t have recounted the situation so quickly.

"What does she look like? Do you remember?"

"I didn’t see; she was wearing a mage-like black robe that covered her face."

Qin Zhao looked toward Shangguan Qiu.

"I didn’t see either."

Shangguan Qiu hadn’t seen the person’s face clearly either, only a silhouette that looked female.

"But Changyuan did follow her. Next time I encounter her, Changyuan will surely react."

"We can only wait for her to show up again." Qin Zhao pointed at Qi Ling, "Maybe she’ll come looking for him, how about you stay close and protect him for a while?"

Qi Ling: "..."

Shangguan Qiu: "..."

Neither of them was particularly keen.

Qi Ling wore an outright rejecting expression, glancing at Qin Zhao. But with Chu Yan there, watching like a hawk, he dared not suggest something like swapping Qin Zhao to protect him.

If he did, Chu Yan would surely disown him under the guise of righteousness.

Qin Zhao asked Shangguan Qiu, "Do you have any plans coming up?"

"Jiajia actually wanted to go to an auction with me."

"What auction?"

"One hosted by the Dan Sect, an exchange among the Heavenly Masters."

"I’d like to go too."

"What about him?"

Shangguan Qiu looked at Qi Ling, frowning deeply.

"Just take him with you when the time comes."

"Alright."

Qi Ling glared at them angrily, "I don’t want to go! I have my own things to do."

Why should they make decisions for him like this!

Qin Zhao smiled slightly, "Your opinion isn’t important if you care about your life."

Qi Ling tugged at his close friend next to him, "Chu Yan, look at her!"

Chu Yan: "Are you trying to sabotage the relationship between my wife and me?"

Qi Ling: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

-

Wu Kejia knew that Qin Zhao was going to the auction and specially sent her an invitation.

The auction was the day after tomorrow.

The day before, Qin Zhao flew on her sword to the mountains to collect herbs.

She still had some herbs left, but not enough to refine a batch of Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills.

After picking all day and still not having enough, Qin Zhao planned to ask Wu Kejia at the auction.

On the day of the auction, Chu Yan went back to work at the hospital.

Shangguan Qiu drove to pick up Qin Zhao.

"Um um um!"

As soon as she got in the car, Qin Zhao heard a strange noise.

Sitting in the passenger seat, she turned her head and saw Qi Ling tied up and thrown in the back seat.

"Is the bandage on his head still there, hasn’t his concussion healed?"

Shangguan Qiu was succinct, "It’s healed; he’s taken medicine."

"Didn’t he still refuse to take it the day before yesterday?"

"I fed it to him."

Shangguan Qiu’s tone was cold and hard, without a hint of tenderness.

Breaking down her words, it probably meant, "I forced him to take it and he’s okay now."

Qi Ling didn’t want to come to the auction at all; his head was still dizzy, and he just wanted to lie in the hospital.

So Shangguan Qiu made him take the medicine, but Qi Ling refused because he feared it was poisoned.

Shangguan Qiu then tied him up, fed him the medicine, and then found a cart to disguise him as a corpse, covered him with a white cloth, and smuggled him out of the hospital.

Qin Zhao glanced at Qi Ling again, and saw that his mouth was still covered with tape.

He looked absolutely miserable.

To the uninformed, it might seem like they were kidnapping him.

They finally arrived smoothly at the location of the auction, and Shangguan Qiu only then untied Qi Ling.

Qi Ling’s eyes were slightly dim, and he moved to attack her.

But Shangguan Qiu was quicker, pinning his hand behind him on the car door in an instant.

"Let me go!"

"Are you going to stop making trouble or not?"

Shangguan Qiu twisted his arm backwards even further, causing Qi Ling to grimace in pain.

Where was she trying to protect him? She clearly wanted to kill him!

"Just kill me!"

He cried out in pain, tears welling up, his voice still carrying a sob.

Seeing his red-rimmed eyes, looking so pitiful, Shangguan Qiu finally let go.

"Don’t run off, and I won’t hit you."

"You still want to hit me?!"

Qi Ling glared at her, like a little lion with bristling fur.

Shangguan Qiu didn’t speak, just dragged him inside.

"According to the rules, an invitation admits only one. Who might this gentleman be?"

The staff member eyed Qi Ling.

Qin Zhao pointed to Shangguan Qiu, "He’s her boyfriend; they’re together."

"I’m not..."

Qi Ling was about to object when Shangguan Qiu casually wiped the Changyuan Sword in her hand.

"..." He choked up instantly.

She wore an all-black assault jacket, her hair in a high ponytail, looking spirited and vigorous, holding an ancient sword, fitting in without any inconsistency.

Moreover, most of the people attending the auction were from the Mystical Sect, and many were dressed quite oddly.

At this moment, Shangguan Qiu took out the Changyuan Sword mainly to see if the female Evil Cultivator would show up at the auction. If she did, the Changyuan Sword would definitely react.

Not long after they sat down, the Changyuan Sword in Shangguan Qiu’s hand trembled slightly.

Qin Zhao’s gaze swept across the room and spotted Xu Zhiwei in the distance.

Why would she be at this kind of Mystical Sect auction?

The moment Qin Zhao saw Xu Zhiwei, she also caught her eye, along with Qi Ling.

Xu Zhiwei couldn’t help frowning, sensing a wave of unease.

Especially seeing the Changyuan Sword in Shangguan Qiu’s hand, her face turned pale.

Last time, she was chased by that sword, scrambling and crawling away in fright; it was a harrowing memory.

Then she thought of Qin Zhao, the master who helped people online with fortune-telling and exorcism, and couldn’t help but smirk.

She really wanted to see how capable Qin Zhao was.

The shadow had said that once the power he gave her grew to a certain extent, most people in this world wouldn’t be able to rival her.
