Outside Of Time

793 Last Night’s Evening Breeze, Tonight’s Starry River (2)
By the time Xu Qing walked out of the Yao residence, it was already dusk. Ling’er’s voice rang out in Xu Qing’s ears.

“Brother Xu Qing, you have to be careful of those two female cultivators!”

“The way they look at you isn’t right, especially the one who poured you tea. I think her issue is even greater. Brother Xu Qing, you have to be careful. I think they might want to harm you.”

Ling’er’s expression was serious.

When Xu Qing heard this, his heart froze. He recalled carefully and thought of the matter with Zhang Siyun. He felt that Yao Yunhui might still have some thoughts, so he nodded.

As for Yao Feihe, Xu Qing couldn’t understand but he also paid attention to this matter.

Seeing that Xu Qing acknowledged her, Ling’er was very happy. She felt that she was very useful and could help Brother Xu Qing sense many external dangers. Hence, she flew out of Xu Qing’s sleeve and whispered into his ear.

“Brother Xu Qing, I’m actually quite useful. After I transform, I’ll even do household chores.”

“Oh, and I can sing too! I’ve learned a few songs from the Wood Spirit Race’s sisters. I’m really smart!”

“Can I sing a song for you?”

Ling’er’s voice was filled with happiness. Xu Qing smiled upon hearing this and nodded.

Ling’er softly hummed, her voice like a drizzling rain, echoing in Xu Qing’s ears. Like a clear spring, it flowed into his heart.

“The moonlight is faintly warm, flowing over the green vine fence from yesterday. The rain lines are not dry yet, breaking and then continuing, turning longing into a light…”

“Not speaking of eternal companionship in the next life, just saying that meeting again is fate.”

“No regrets in this lifetime. May the flowers bloom as a promise to stay by your side. In the next life, a glance back, a slight smile, even if thousands of years have passed…”

Ling’er’s tender voice flowed in Xu Qing’s heart.

Under the setting sun, he walked through the streets of the capital city, concealing his aura and blurring his traces. He passed through the crowds, the clamor, and entered into tranquility.

The evening breeze swirled around him, as if it had heard the song, lifting his dark hair to sway with the melody.

The rosy glow of twilight also arrived, casting its glow on the small white snake. In its faint shimmer, the silhouette of a young girl could be vaguely seen, blushing and softly singing.

In the distance, in the Deputy Governor’s residence, Old Master Seventh stood in a building and looked at the streets.

He looked at Xu Qing with a smile.

Marquis Yao’s figure walked out of the void and stood beside him.

“It’s good to be young.” Old Master Seventh sighed with emotion.

Marquis Yao also cast his gaze on Xu Qing in the distance and smiled.

“That’s right. It’s good to be young.”
“So, my disciple saved your entire family and helped you clear your name. You better make sure to protect him well.”

Old Master Seventh looked at Marquis Yao.

“If he hadn’t stepped out, no one would have a chance to object at that time.”

“You still don’t believe me.” Marquis Yao sighed softly.

“I’ve been pondering a question these days. On that day… if I hadn’t shouted those words, would you have appeared?” Old Master Seventh’s gaze was deep as he stared at Marquis Yao.

Marquis Yao looked at Xu Qing in the distance and pondered seriously. His mind recalled the scene half a month ago. After a long time, he spoke softly.

“I believe I would still have stepped forward.”

Old Master Seventh didn’t speak. His gaze landed on the setting sun in the sky. After a long time, he calmly spoke.

“How was your conversation with my disciple?”

“He gave me a name. I’ll get someone to contact him as a check and balance against the Seventh Prince.” Marquis Yao’s calm voice rang out.

“He hasn’t returned the three provinces of our Fenghai County. Fenghai County lacks intimidating power.”

At this point, Marquis Yao looked at Old Master Seventh.

“How are the puppets transformed from Brother Hengxin and Brother Rongyu’s corpses?”

Old Master Seventh shook his head.

“That’s a new generation of god specimens. It’s a little difficult to activate them, but I’ve already thought of a way. I’ll make a trip back to the Seven Blood Eyes in the near future to retrieve the research I left there.”

“In addition, we have to migrate the Seven Blood Eyes to the county capital.”

Marquis Yao nodded. The migration of the Seven Blood Eyes was a matter of course. He didn’t ask further and turned to leave.

After Marquis Yao left, Old Master Seventh lowered his head and looked at his palm.

In his palm, there was a rune formed by divine essence.

This was a trinket he had studied previously. It only had one use and that was to test for lies.

The principle was that the god was omniscient and omnipotent. Although it was only relative, with the help of this attribute, one could still determine if something was the truth or a lie to a certain extent.

Under Old Master Seventh’s gaze, the runes on his palm flickered.

A long time later, Old Master Seventh nodded.

“He said it sincerely but he can’t be trusted completely. After all, the human heart will change.”

“Since this Fenghai County belongs to Fourth, then… it must be his.”

A sharp glint appeared in Old Master Seventh’s eyes. After some thought, he took out a jade slip and transmitted his voice to Xu Qing.

“Fourth, I’m going to make a trip to the Seven Blood Eyes in three days. It’s been a long time since you went back. Come with me this time.”

Old Master Seventh said with anticipation.

“To not return to one’s hometown when wealthy is like walking through the night in embroidered clothes…”

In the Sword Holding Palace, Xu Qing, who had just returned, was immersed in Ling’er’s singing. After a long time, he noticed the vibration of the voice transmission jade slip and heard his master’s words.

“Ling’er, do you want to return to the Seven Blood Eyes?” Xu Qing looked at Ling’er.contemporary romance

“Okay, I’m even from the Seven Blood Eyes’ Intelligence Department,” the small white snake replied happily.

Seeing Ling’er’s excited expression, many familiar figures in the Seven Blood Eyes appeared in Xu Qing’s mind. He also wanted to make a trip back to the Seven Blood Eyes to visit Lord Sixth’s grave.

There was also Captain Lei and Grandmaster Bai. It had been a long time since he went to pay his respects.

Since he had chosen to head out, there was something Xu Qing planned to do.

Hence, he took the jade slip and transmitted his voice to his master.
