"Hmm? Qi Deviation! "Sei Itō said in surprise when he noticed the change in Ji Fa's Qi. Without hesitation, he appeared behind Ji Fa in a flash and pressed one hand on Ji Fa's head. At the same time, he turned his left hand and took out the Sky Crystal that recorded the fourth level of the Azure Snow Formula. He held it in his hand and silently operated the Mysterious Skill. He used the Stellar Transposition to instill the Azure Snow Energy absorbed from the Sky Crystal into Ji Fa's body. He relied on the same source of energy to stabilize Ji Fa's violent Internal Qi.
"… Looking at the heart from the inside, the heart does not have the heart. Looking at the outside, the form does not have the form. Looking at the outside, the form does not have the form. Looking at the emptiness, the emptiness is the emptiness. The emptiness is the emptiness, the nothingness is the nothingness. The nothingness is the nothingness, the nothingness is the nothingness. If the nothingness is the nothingness, how can desire be born? If desire is not born, then it is the nothingness. The nothingness is the nothingness, the nothingness is the nothingness. The nothingness is the nothingness. The nothingness is the nothingness of the nothingness … "Sei Itō then used his spiritual sense to send a passage of the nothingness into Ji Fa's mind to help him calm down his chaotic heart.
Soon, Ji Fa's Qi Deviation calmed down.
"Whew …" Ji Fa then circulated his Qi a few times and retracted it into his Dantian. He exhaled deeply and came out of his meditative state.
"Thank you for your help, Master." Ji Fa, who woke up, quickly stood up from the futon and bowed to Sei Itō respectfully.
"How can you cultivate if your mind is not calm? If you want to die, just say it. I can fulfill your wish! "Sei Itō looked coldly at Ji Fa and scolded him coldly.
"Master, please calm down. It is my fault. Please punish me. "Hearing the scolding, Ji Fa quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.
"You want to punish me? Alright, you will go to the peak of the back mountain and stay there for eight hours. You are not allowed to come down until the time is up. "Sei Itō sneered.
The so-called top of the back mountain was the original private residence of the Misty City's City Lord, the Snow Castle. However, since Ito Sei became the City Lord, it had been left unused. It had become a pure snow peak without any human habitation. Only some cold-resistant small animals would appear there from time to time.
"Yes. Master. "Ji Fa accepted the order. However, he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he kowtowed again and said sincerely, "But teacher, if there's one thing that can't be solved, I'll give it to you. Ji Fa's mind's mind.... Even if I can survive this time. Next time, I might even go berserk and die. Therefore, I beg Teacher to help me. "
"You want to plead for your father, uncle, and others?" Ito Sei, who knew what Ji Fa was talking about, sneered.
"Master. Teacher, please be magnanimous. "Ji Fa replied without raising his head.
"As long as they are willing to hand over what I want. I won't make things difficult for them. Unfortunately, they are stubborn. I can only imprison them and wait for them to 'think it through'. "Sei Itō said.
"This …" Ji Fa, who had heard from the embroidered captain what Sei Itō wanted, was speechless. If it was something else, he might be able to get it with his identity as the second son of the Marquis of the West. But for the He Tu and Xi Qi, unless he wanted to betray his master, it was impossible!
"However, this city lord can guarantee the safety of your father, martial uncle, and the others. When the time comes, they will naturally be released." After a pause, Sei Itō comforted Ji Fa. He did not want Ji Fa to die from Qi Deviation.
"Then when is the 'time' that master is talking about?" Ji Fa asked.
"You will know when the time comes." Sei Itō said.
"Alright, you can leave." Then, without giving Ji Fa a chance to speak, he said again.
"Yes." Ji Fa had no choice but to bow and accept the order. Then, he stood up from the ground and walked out of the room.
After this day, Itokuni didn't know if it was because he thought it through, or because the embroidered captain persuaded him again, but Ji Fa's face was still sullen, but his mind was a lot more correct. During the period of cultivation, there were no incidents of Qi Deviation, which made Itokuni feel a lot more at ease.
In this way, Ji Fa's progress was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he broke through the Bi Bingxue and Purple Star River and entered the Indigo Sea Realm.
At this time, eight days had passed. Adding the days that had passed before, more than half a month had passed since the one-month departure date. It was almost time to part.
Of course, in the process of teaching Ji Fa, Sei Itō was not idle. Almost every day after teaching Ji Fa, Sei Itō would go to the prison and hypnotize and brainwash the soldiers of Xi Qi to make them loyal to him. Today, all the hypnosis had been completed. He only needed the right time to release them back to Xi Qi and mix into the army of Xi Qi. They would become powerful spies that he might not need in the future.
…
That evening.
"Sir City Lord." A girl's pleasant voice came from outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Sei Itō, who was lying on the couch and being served by the maids around him, asked faintly.
"Miss Xiu said that she has something to ask you. She hopes that you can go over and lie down." The maid replied.
"Miss Xiu? I got it. Tell her that I will be there in a moment. "Sei Itō said in surprise.
"Yes." The maid replied and then disappeared into the corridor outside the house amidst a series of light footsteps that gradually faded away.
"I didn't think that she would take the initiative to see me." Ito Sei, who exerted strength from his waist, sat up from the couch and stood up with the momentum, muttered with interest. He then raised his hand to tidy his clothes and walked out of the room, moving towards the room where Miss Xiu was.
A few minutes later, Sei Itō arrived in front of the room where Miss Xiu was and unceremoniously pushed the door open and walked in.
In an instant, Miss Xiu was sitting on the bed in a daze. She was wearing a pink brocade dress. Her face was smooth and her eyes were clear. She was emitting a faint heroic spirit from head to toe.
"You want to see me?" Sei Itō asked.
"Creak, bang." At the same time, the maid guarding the door tactfully closed the door.
"Yes." Miss Xiu sighed slightly and looked at Sei Itō with a serious expression.
"Oh?" Sei Itō looked at her with interest after hearing Miss Xiu Itō admit it.
"I agree to that matter?" Miss Xiu Itō said faintly.
"What?" Sei Itō didn't understand what she was talking about. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Are you asking the obvious?" Miss Xiu Itō's face was slightly red, and her expression was filled with embarrassment and anger.
"Oh, you're talking about that." Sei Itō suddenly understood.
The matter Miss Xiu Itō was talking about was none other than the matter that Sei Itō casually mentioned when he asked Miss Xiu Itō to blackmail the Marquis of the West, Ji Chang, for the River Map. He wanted to marry Miss Xiu Itō. However, at that time, he just casually mentioned it and didn't really take it to heart. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to see her during the period when he imprisoned her and Ji Fa.
After all, in terms of beauty, Miss Xiu Itō wasn't in the top group and wouldn't be able to move Sei Itō at first glance.
"Why? Have you thought it through?" Sei Itō asked in surprise.
"I want to use my body in exchange for the Marquis' freedom," Miss Xiu Itō said firmly.
Sei Itō immediately frowned, and his expression became somewhat displeased.
"Although you're not bad looking, it's not to the point where this City Lord has to give up certain things for you. Moreover, this City Lord doesn't like this kind of transaction that involves me sacrificing myself for another man, so let's end it here today. "Sei Itō's eyes were emotionless as he spoke.
Miss Xiu Itō's face paled when she heard this, and she couldn't help but reveal a miserable expression.
Miss Xiu Itō had always been pure and honest, and her heart should only be filled with Miss Shu, who had died in the Battle of the Nine Cauldrons. However, for the Marquis of the West, who she had always been loyal to, she had no choice but to go against her will and offer her body to the enemy in exchange for the Marquis' freedom so that the Second Young Master wouldn't be so miserable. Who would have thought that in the end, she would be heartlessly rejected and even ridiculed? How could she feel good? There was even a moment when Miss Xiu Itō wanted to die.
Fortunately, she still had her reason and her heart was firm enough, so she didn't pull out her weapon and commit suicide on the spot.
"However, if you're willing to give yourself to this City Lord one day, this City Lord will be very happy." At this moment, Sei Itō had already walked to the door and placed his hands on the door handle as he spoke with his back facing Miss Xiu Itō.
Miss Xiu Itō was speechless and silently lowered her head.
Creak ~ Sei Itō didn't expect Miss Xiu Itō to reply. He reached out and opened the door, leaving the room in a flash. He walked along the corridor and returned to his City Lord's Residence.
And this matter was like a small ripple in a pool of water that was instantly blown away by the cold wind that blew all year round on top of the mountain.
Time continued as usual, and another dozen or so days passed peacefully as usual.
"A month's time is up. You can be on your way." On this day, just as Ji Fa was withdrawing the Indigo Ocean Technique that he had just cultivated, Sei Itō's voice rang in his ears.
"Thank you, Teacher, for your teachings this month. Ji Fa will remember it in my heart. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay Teacher's teachings." Ji Fa stood up and bowed respectfully to Sei Itō.
"Report … I'm looking forward to it." Sei Itō said with a faint smile.
Ji Fa raised his head and looked at Sei Itō in confusion. He didn't know why his teacher had such an expression.
"Alright, go and find Miss Xiu Itō. She probably has a lot to say to you." Sei Itō put away his expression and waved his hand.
"Yes, Ji Fa will take his leave first." Ji Fa bowed. Then, he turned around and left the room, disappearing behind the wooden door that was once again closed.
"It's time for me to continue my journey and find Jiang Ziya to obtain the Book of Luo …" Sei Itō muttered to himself as he watched Ji Fa leave. His gaze seemed to be able to pierce through time and space as he looked into the distance.
