It would be a lie to say that Qing Shui was not happy about it, but for the most part it was still a surprise to him. He would have never thought that Canghai Mingyue would be attracted to himself, because he believed that the type of guy that Canghai Mingyue liked would be someone like Canghai, or at least someone like that middle aged man in the purple robe.
Qing Shui felt that he was still not mature enough himself, while Canghai Mingyue was already a lady of unsurpassed beauty of a generation.
Qing Shui couldn’t help but think of his own mother when he looked at Canghai and his wife. They had already done everything they could as parents to this point. A father’s love was indeed like the mountains and a mother’s love was even greater.
“QIng Shui, take this. We believe our judgment, and even trust that you will take good care of YueYue,” Canghai stuffed the Token into Qing Shui’s hands.
Qing Shui knew that his heavy responsibility had became even more heavy the moment he took the Token. The entire life of Canghai Mingyue. Was this a responsibility that he could bear?
Heavenly Palace was indeed the Heavenly Palace. Qing Shui thought about it and knew that the techniques that Canghai used that day were the Heavenly Thunder Slash and Cloud Mist Steps. Qing Shui realized that he himself already had a deep longing towards the Heavenly Palace, longing to join this great sect that had stood for and persisted over a few ten thousand years in this world of the nine continents.
Qing Shui was going to ask some questions about the Heavenly Palace but decided against it. He knew that Canghai must had some reasons behind that bitter smile. Moreover, there was not much time left to talk.
“Ride on your Fire Bird by then; the Mutated Beast of Heaven and Earth has its own peculiarities!”
Qing Shui nodded helplessly. Life had too many choices to make, especially the daunting ones in which every choices always came with a heavy price to pay, even to the point of getting smashed into pieces.
“Also, if necessary, knock YueYue out cold. Do anything necessary for you all to escape…”
“Look at the battle between me and Old Blindee tomorrow. Prepare to run by the 50th technique. I will remind you again. Nuo Tong will open you all a path.”
Qing Shui listened attentively; anyone would!
During night time, Qing Shui went to take a look at Huoyun Liu-Li again. Right now she felt the burden on her shoulders was very, very heavy. Even though they were going to run away, will their opponent let them go? Even if they were to run, they would still need to get rid of Old Blindee, otherwise how would they be able to escape.
By the time Qing Shui returned to his quarters, it was already the time to enter the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. After entering, Qing Shui took the Golden Ringed Battle Armor, boots, helmet, bracelet, Coldsteel Needle, Soulshake Bell…
“Oh, Soulshake Bell!” Qing Shui grabbed the small enchanted purple colored bell. The Qi of Ancient Strengthening Technique refined it once more and there was a burst of blinding light.
“Seems like God didn’t push him to the dead end!” Qing Shui looked at the Soulshake Bell excitedly.
Soulshake Bell, Second Level, had a high chance in driving target beasts within a radius of 300 meters into a state of frenzy. They will not differentiate between friends and foes, and crazily attack everything around them.
