Chapter 159 That thing is now your lifeline

however……

They didn't want to get involved, but the people below spotted them and attacked without saying a word.

"Ah, beast!"

Ye Qingshuang dodged the attack and cursed, "You're fighting even if you don't want to get involved?"

"If you don't want people to see you, don't fight in the middle of the city. So many people have seen it. Are you going to kill everyone else?"

"Sick."

With such a commotion below, it would be hard for everyone not to notice, but no one would risk their life to look; everyone would quietly open a crack. But Ye Qingshuang was different.

She had just stood in front of the hole, her whole body exposed, and she didn't quiet down her voice, which is why the people below noticed her and thought she was courting death, so they attacked her directly.

After Ye Qingshuang finished scolding, the people below not only did not think they were wrong, but two of them flew directly towards Ye Qingshuang.

Ye Qingshuang refused to endure their torment. As soon as the flute music started, the two men behind their masks looked extremely pained. They couldn't even hold onto their weapons, let alone mobilize their spiritual power to maintain their bodies, and they fell downwards.

The other party was inhuman, and Ye Qingshuang showed no mercy. The flute music continued, and the target was obvious. Soon, all those who surrounded the carriage fell to the ground, clutching their heads and howling in pain.

Seeing their opponent fall, the people protecting the carriage seized the opportunity to deliver the final blow, turning more than fifty spirit lords into more than fifty corpses.

"Tch." Ye Qingshuang put down her flute and looked at the corpses of the men in black below. "Serves them right."

Ye Qingshuang put away her flute, turned her head and saw Ling Yi looking at her with a half-smile, and immediately said, "They made the first move."

"Yes," Ling Yi replied, "I saw it."

“Right, don’t blame me.” Ye Qingshuang put her arm around Ling Yi: “No one can sleep in your room anymore, let’s sleep together.”

Ling Yi took her hand away: "Don't sleep yet, someone's here to see you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang turned her head and saw the middle-aged man who had just finished off the men in black leaping up.

"Thank you for your help, young lady. May I ask your surname? My master wishes to reward you handsomely." The man stopped in front of Ye Qingshuang, extremely respectful.

"I didn't mean to help you," Ye Qingshuang said bluntly. "They're too annoying. No need to thank me, go back." She then waved her hand.

However, the man still refused to leave. Just as Ye Qingshuang was persuading him to leave, a woman in a moon-white dress stepped down from the carriage parked below. The moonlight shone on her, making her look like a fairy who had come from the moon.

“Young lady, it is I who want to thank you.” The woman looked up at them, and when she met Ye Qingshuang’s eyes, she smiled and said, “Please give me a chance to express my gratitude.”

Ye Qingshuang was about to refuse when she saw Ling Yi fly up and land in front of the woman.

Ye Qingshuang: "?"

Ye Qingshuang was puzzled, but had no choice but to follow.

Seeing that the two women had gone downstairs, Baijiu followed them downstairs.

The three landed in front of the woman. Ling Yi looked at the woman in front of him. She had a strong spiritual energy, but her body was very weak. This was because she could not absorb the spiritual energy. If this continued, she would soon die from excessive spiritual energy.

Ling Yi turned his head to look at Ye Qingshuang: "Since this young lady is so sincere in her gratitude, please don't refuse."

Ye Qingshuang didn't know what Ling Yi was going to do, but since Ling Yi had said so, she agreed: "Okay."

The woman smiled and invited the three of them into the carriage.

After boarding the carriage, the woman introduced herself: "My name is Xue Zhao. May I ask your honorable surnames?"

The three people gave their names, and Ye Zhao thanked them again after hearing them: "Miss Ye, thank you for your help just now."

"No need to be so polite, it's their fault." Ye Qingshuang paused, then looked at Xue Zhao and asked, "Miss Xue, do you know who those people are behind?"

"I know." Xue Zhao looked at the three of them and said gently, "Miss Ye, you don't need to worry. I will never let the person behind you hurt you."

Ye Qingshuang wasn't worried about that; she was just curious about what Ling Yi was planning to do.

"Miss Xue, do you know who's behind them? Why would someone behind them want to harm you in the capital?"

Xue Zhao curved her lips into a smile, but there was no trace of happiness in her eyes: "They are from the Zhaoyue Sect. The reason they attacked me is because their young sect leader doesn't want to marry me."

Teruyue Sect?

How could I possibly run into someone with connections like this?

Ye Qingshuang's gossip spirit burned brightly: "Miss Xue, to be honest, we have a grudge against the Zhaoyue Sect and are paying special attention to the Zhaoyue Sect's affairs. I wonder if Miss Xue would be willing to elaborate?"

"Since the three of you have come to our aid, there's nothing I can't say." Xue Zhao said, "To be honest, I am a member of the royal family. My engagement with the young sect leader of the Zhaoyue Sect is proof of the good relations between the royal family and the Zhaoyue Sect. We are both people who have no choice in the matter. I know he doesn't like me. I once told my father about breaking off the engagement, but my father sternly refused. That young sect leader has a girl he likes, and with the wedding date approaching, things have come to this."

"But..." Ye Qingshuang looked at Xue Zhao, hesitating to speak.

Anyone who cultivates can see that Xue Zhao doesn't have much time left, so why is she in such a hurry?

Although Ye Qingshuang didn't say it aloud, Xue Zhao understood and shook her head with a smile: "It's because the girl he likes is going to marry someone else that he's in a hurry."

Ye Qingshuang didn't know what to say.

Xue Zhao said, "Fortunately, the Zhaoyue Sect has been busy lately, so it can only mobilize some disciples. Therefore, most of the people who came are at the Spirit Venerable level, and there are no experts. If there were experts, I would probably be doomed today."

"They attacked you in the capital, aren't they afraid of being held accountable by the royal family?" Ye Qingshuang asked.

Xue Zhao shook her head: "Father knows he is very dissatisfied with me, so he sent people to protect me. As long as I don't die, that's fine. If I don't die, and if we can seize the Zhaoyue Sect's weakness, we can gain more benefits. However, I don't want to do that anymore, so I had the guards kill them all."

“I had the people of the Zhaoyue Sect killed, so Father can’t replace them now.” Xue Zhao smiled, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth: “I don’t want to be used by him to gain benefits when I’m about to die.”

Ling Yi looked at her: "Do you know why this is so?"

Xue Zhao shook her head: "I don't know. It's been like this ever since I fell into the water when I was seven years old. The imperial physicians and alchemists have all examined me, but they can't figure out what's wrong."

"Over the years I have been searching for skilled alchemists. I returned this time because my father said that a descendant of a god has come to the empire. Ordinary alchemists are not enough, but perhaps the descendant of a god can. He told me to come back, but it was too late. The descendant of a god has already left."

Xue Zhao sighed, "It's all fate."

Ling Yi looked at her and said, "You're like this because there's something inside your body."

Upon hearing this, Xue Zhao immediately looked at Ling Yi: "Miss Ling, what have you figured out?"

Ling Yi's gaze fell on Xue Zhao's heart: "That thing is now your lifeline."

The source of Xue Zhao's spiritual energy is her heart.
