Disheartened, she had reluctantly decided to leave. Upon telling her thoughts to Lian Rou, Lian Rou had quickly informed Ying Xingran.
Ying Xingran’s only response had been, “I understand.”
He hadn’t come over to try to converse with her over the matter.
She had thoroughly given up.
“When you are the envy of the heavens, everyone revolves around you. But when you fall, no one will sympathize with you, you can only quietly cry by yourself.
“I wasn’t as important as I thought I was.
“Without me, they don’t lose anything much, the sect will still continue on.”
These last few days, she had constantly repeated these words to herself and gradually realized the cruelty of reality. Her heart had grown increasingly disheartened.
Qin Lie’s expression was indifferent as he deeply looked into the dim, lifeless eyes of Tang Siqi. He suddenly said, “Don’t leave yet. Give me some time. I will let you reclaim everything that was yours.”
Tang Siqi lifelessly raised her head, her face full of confusion and puzzlement.
“As long as Liang Shaoyang dies, everything that is currently considered his will be returned to you.” After he said these words, Qin Lie, under the shocked gaze of Tang Siqi, turned and walked out of the cave.
He walked back to the plaza with the spirit pattern pillars.
The sun had just peeked out its head, and thus, there weren’t very many disciples moving around atop the square. Only Seven Fiends Valley’s Ouyang Jingjing sat below one of the spirit pattern pillars, hoping that she would be able to see through the mysteries on the spirit pattern pillar.
Qin Lie sat down in the very center of the square.
For the first time, he began to intently analyze the twelve spirit pattern pillars, analyzing the mysterious diagrams and patterns as well as the inscriptions which seemed to contain some kind of hidden mystery.
From between his brows, a wisp of light was released—it was the light from within the Soul Suppressing Orb.
Under the rays of the sun, the wisp of light was invisible. Not even Ouyang Jingjing, who was nearby, was able to see any abnormality…
The wisp of light illuminated the nearest spirit pattern pillar. Qin Lie closely observed, and after a few seconds, his body violently trembled as the look in his eyes became seemingly sharp enough to shoot people.
As if he had discovered some new great continent, he constantly turned his head and looked at the spirit pattern pillars around him!
The faint light from between his brows illuminated each spirit pattern pillar he looked at. Each time he looked at another spirit pattern pillar, his eyes would brighten by another level!
When Qin Lie looked at the spirit pattern pillar closest to Ouyang Jingjing, the look of Ouyang Jingjing, who was also observing the pillar, suddenly became dazed.
That was because, at this time, she discovered that the long rivers which made up the diagram atop the spirit pattern pillar suddenly seemed to have become animated. It was as if she could actually hear the sound of flowing water and see the momentum of the flowing waves in the currents.
Ouyang Jingjing’s body quivered. She was excited to the point that she almost jumped right up. Rubbing her eyes, she quickly took another look.
But at this time, Qin Lie had already retracted his gaze and turned to look at another spirit pattern pillar.
When Ouyang Jingjing looked again, she discovered that there was no change atop the spirit pattern pillar. The long rivers within the diagram were only inanimate things within the diagram without any movement.
Naturally, she no longer heard the sound of flowing water either.
“I must have gone crazy to have come up with such a hallucination. It seems like I need some rest.” Disappointed, Ouyang Jingjing sighed as she moved her stiff body and began walking towards the dining hall.
She didn’t care at all about Qin Lie who was nearby.
After she walked away, only Qin Lie was left within the plaza.
Atop the square, Qin Lie looked at each of the twelve spirit pattern pillars once more before suddenly standing up and walking towards Armament Sect’s sect entrance.
The sun gradually heated up. Under the sun’s intense rays, Qin Lie was like a sculpture of ice erected by the entrance as frozen energy covered his entire body.
He was waiting for someone to return to the sect.
“Sister Lian. Qin Bing, Qin Bing said he was going to kill Liang Shaoyang! He said he would help me reclaim everything!” exclaimed Tang Siqi in shock after rushing to Lian Rou’s cave.
“He’s gone crazy!” said Lian Rou as her expression changed.
“He’s truly gone crazy! When I looked at him, something looked off. I, I think he’s serious!” shrieked Tang Siqi.
“When did this happen?” hurriedly asked Lian Rou.
“It happened just now. At the time, I was too shocked and thought he was just joking, so I wasn’t able to react in time,” said Tang Siqi. When she thought back to Qin Lie’s express
