Chapter 83: A Simple and Brutal Method

“Impossible… I killed all of those people, I did…”

That was what she said, but Yin Kangxuehan’s expression was uncertain. She seemed to have fallen into a state of self-doubt.

In truth, she had sensed some of what Qin Yangjun was talking about. She also felt there was a true mastermind behind the scenes.

But she had searched for years without finding any clues. Gradually, that feeling was forgotten.

Now that Qin Yangjun brought it up again, the feeling resurfaced.

Thinking back, her revenge had truly gone too smoothly.

When she investigated the whereabouts of Ling’er’s father, she found leads quickly. Following the trail, she found the body and discovered he died on the road to the Heavenly Fox clan’s territory.

The same thing happened when she sought out the murderers of her mother. One trip solved everything. She found their whereabouts easily, and their resistance was not as fierce as she had expected.

Looking at Yin Kangxuehan’s expression, she seemed to have realized it too. Qin Yangjun smiled slightly.

“In this world, truth and falsehood are mixed. Seeing is not necessarily believing. Some things are only shown to you because others want you to see them.”

“I have a simple and brutal method. Try it. You have nothing to lose. Set out now. If things go quickly, you’ll see results in a few days. This method can not only test whether it’s safe for Ling’er to return, but might also catch the real culprit who killed your mother back then.”

Qin Yangjun had too many things on his plate. He didn’t have the time or the strength to investigate the truth himself.

So it was better to let Yin Kangxuehan find the truth on her own.

Yin Kangxuehan hesitated for a moment, then asked tentatively.

“No conditions?”

“There are.”

Hmph! She knew this man wouldn’t lift a finger without profit.

But then Qin Yangjun’s words stunned her.

“The condition is that you come back safely.”

“Me? Are you concerned about me? Or is it for Ling’er?”

“Both. You, woman, though you have many schemes, I know you’re not bad at heart. Besides, you are Ling’er’s last blood relative in this world. If something happens to you, she will be sad.”

Qin Yangjun looked at Yin Kangxuehan with utmost sincerity.

These were his true feelings.

He had known Yin Kangxuehan’s true nature from the book.

She wasn’t a bad woman, just liked to toy with those who had ulterior motives. Speaking of which, the him in the book had been provoked by her and made a fool of himself.

But that kind of thing definitely wouldn’t happen now.

Yin Kangxuehan let out a long breath.

“I admit, in all these years, you are the only human cultivator I cannot see through. Young as you are, you’re full of wicked ideas.”

“So?”

Yin Kangxuehan put on a serious expression.

“Tell me your plan.”

It was precisely because she couldn’t see through Qin Yangjun that she believed in his ability.

“If I remember correctly, your transformation skill can be used on others. You’ve already memorized Ling’er’s aura. Do you still remember your mother’s aura?”

“Of course! But… why do you ask? My mother is dead.”

“Think back to when you saw her. She wasn’t a corpse then. If I’m not mistaken, the demonic essence of your Yao clan can be reborn as long as it’s preserved intact, right?”

Yin Kangxuehan was slightly taken aback, then quickly understood Qin Yangjun’s plan.

“You want to…”

“Uh-huh. I said it was simple and brutal. It’s up to you how you play it.”

This time, Yin Kangxuehan thought for a long time. Qin Yangjun didn’t rush her.

After all, there was risk in carrying out this plan.

And if nothing came of it, she might face a crisis of trust within her clan.

About half an hour later, Yin Kangxuehan seemed to have made up her mind.

“Alright. It won’t take too much time anyway. I’ll try it!”

With that, Yin Kangxuehan turned to leave.

“Wait!”

Hearing Qin Yangjun’s voice, Yin Kangxuehan turned around. A storage pouch was tossed to her.

“When I came back just now, I stopped by the Treasure Pavilion. Inside is a Seventh-grade Tong Shen Dan and a Qian Li Dun Xing Fu.”

Yin Kangxuehan was stunned.

Tong Shen Dan was simply a pill that boosted strength. Based on her current power, it should temporarily elevate her to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, but it had severe side effects, plunging her into a long period of weakness.

However, this kind of power-boosting pill was extremely troublesome to refine. It could be called a life-saving talisman. Even with huge side effects, countless people would fight over it.

Let alone a Seventh-grade pill.

And the Qian Li Dun Xing Fu needed no introduction. It was troublesome to inscribe and almost never circulated on the market. Only a few large sects had them.

She hadn’t expected Qin Yangjun to give her both items directly.

It seemed he really wanted her to return safely.

Thinking of this, a trace of emotion stirred in Yin Kangxuehan’s heart. The slight dissatisfaction she had felt toward Qin Yangjun vanished.

“Thank you.”

Yin Kangxuehan expressed her gratitude sincerely. She put away the storage pouch, turned into a spirit fox, and disappeared into the mountains with a few leaps.

Qin Yangjun watched her retreating figure and fell into thought.

As the saying goes, the onlooker sees the game best while the player is lost. When he was reading the book, he had already guessed some things. He could only hope Yin Kangxuehan could accept the truth.

Then Qin Yangjun turned and went back to his room, beginning to refine the Golden Crow Banner.

Dong! Dong!

With two crisp knocks at the door, Qin Yangjun knew Ling’er was back. He stopped refining and looked out the window. It was already dusk.

“Come in.”

Ling’er pushed the door open and came to Qin Yangjun’s side, handing him a piece of paper.

It recorded in detail what happened to Ling Hu’er at the Yu Qian Sect after they left.

The record was exceptionally detailed, almost covering every move Ling Hu’er made.

Ling’er handed the record to Qin Yangjun, then glanced around.

“Young master, my sister…”

“She went out on business. If things go smoothly, she’ll be back in four or five days.”

“Oh… I see.”

Qin Yangjun wasn’t worried about Yin Kangxuehan. That woman was very sharp, and with the two life-saving items he gave her, if she still messed up, that would be embarrassing.

After answering Ling’er, Qin Yangjun pondered over the record.

He had to admit Yue Yao was really fast. She had only brought back the beast king a day or two ago and had already tamed it.

As for the ‘big fuss’ Liu Ruoqing mentioned, it mainly happened on the mountain peak under the Grand Elder’s jurisdiction. But since they were in the wrong, they could only let Ling Hu’er cause trouble.

However, because Shi Huanyu arrived later, Ling Hu’er didn’t cause trouble for long.

After understanding the whole story…

Perhaps to teach Ling Hu’er a lesson, or perhaps because the things he fed the beast king were too precious.

Anyway, Shi Huanyu didn’t get involved in this matter.

Nor did she mention it to her elder sister.

But what happened at the Yu Qian Sect couldn’t be hidden from her sister.

After learning about it, her sister gave compensation.

She gave Ling Hu’er an Eighth-grade spiritual tool and many heavenly treasures.
