Now that he mentioned the Divine Soul Realm, Jin Man understood what he was referring to. He pointed out that the age gap between the two of them was unusually large.
Jin Man turned around and stared at him. "Do you think I'm too old?"
Yang Qing still had his back to her. "Who in the cultivation world cares about age? As long as you don't look old, you can ignore age."
Jin Man asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Yang Qing said, "If you can't break through to the Divine Soul Realm, I should live a little longer than you. When you get close to this point, I don't know how you will feel, so I hope you can consider some things carefully."
Jin Man understood what he meant, but she didn't refuse him. Her eyes lit up, and she walked back to stand behind him. She said with a smile, "You're a good person, but there are some things that you're too cautious about."
Yang Qing said, "I've heard some rumors about the relationship between you and Master White."
Jin Man's eyelids drooped. "Yes, I loved Master White in my early years, but that was just my wishful thinking. I wasn't the only woman who loved Master White. It's not what you think. There's nothing between me and him."
Yang Qing turned around and asked strangely, "Do you think I'm better than Master White?"
Jin Man was silent for a while, then she shook her head. "There's no comparison. I suggest you not to compare yourself with him. It will make you feel inferior. It's a pity that you haven't met him, or else you would understand what I mean."
Yang Qing couldn't help but touch his nose. Her words were a little irritating. He lifted the wine jar with one hand and took a sip. He smiled bitterly. "That's why I don't understand what you're thinking."
Jin Man said, "Some people can only be regarded as a dream, and some people are needed to face reality. They are not contradictory. You are the reality in front of me. I can't explain my feelings. I have inexplicable feelings for you, and they are getting stronger and stronger. I can't control them. If you want me to give you an explanation, I can't. I'm old, and I've experienced a lot of bloodshed. I'm too mature, and I can't act like a little girl. I can only say that I don't lie to my heart!"
Yang Qing said, "If our identities are together, it will be a little sensitive. Some people will guess that you are controlling me, or I am controlling you."
Jin Man pressed a hand on her chest and stared at him. "I only have one question. If I didn't have this identity, would you have desired me with my beauty? A man's desire for a woman, do you have it? "
Yang Qing remained silent for a while, then nodded his head and said, "There's no need to eliminate anything. Your identity is a plus, but I haven't thought it through yet. Let me think about it again."
Jin Man turned around and said with disappointment as she walked, "I've known you for so many years, and I've discovered your biggest weakness. You like to think everything through before you do anything. Can you think through your feelings? This is called being too smart for one's own good. To put it bluntly, you're overcautious and indecisive. What's the use of a relationship that can't make people impulsive? You take your time to think about it. I would like to see when you can figure it out … Today, I am not in the mood to prepare food and wine for you. Wait until I am in a better mood. Perhaps I have thought it through and lost interest in you. "The voice faded away and the person gradually disappeared.
The sea breeze lifted his cloak and patted Yang Qing's back. Yang Qing, who held the wine jar with one hand, lowered his head and looked at the clear wine swirling in the jar. He did not say a word. Behind him, the sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard …
On the beach, on top of a bonfire, a cauldron was set up and bubbling. It was filled to the brim with seafood. Chief Niu personally took a ladle and stirred it, the aroma filling the air.
Fei Hong, who had long since washed up, led two handmaidens to the side to prepare a chair and a plate. Fei Hong was a little excited. Milord was personally cooking for her. At home, it was always the Madam who personally took care of Milord's meals. Even the Madam had never enjoyed such treatment before.
However, before the food was cooked, something happened. Miao Yi took out the Star Bell and received a message from Xiahou Chengyu. Miao Yi called Fei Hong over and gave her the ladle. He took the Star Bell and went to the side to make the call.
After a simple exchange of pleasantries, Miao Yi asked, 'What instructions does Your Highness have for me?'
Xiahou Chengyu, 'I have a favor to ask of you.'
Miao Yi naturally replied, 'Please instruct me, Your Highness.'
Xiahou Chengyu did not hold back either. 'Concubine Qin, help me get rid of her. I want her entire family to die a horrible death!'
"…" Miao Yi was a little dumbfounded. Marshal Mao Lu, Pang Guan, had told him about the developments in the Imperial Court. He had just discussed it with Yang Qing not long ago. Just when he was feeling happy that he could continue to stay out of it, who would have thought that he would not get what he wanted. Xiahou Chengyu had actually given him such a task.
After being stunned for a moment, how could Miao Yi take on this task for no reason? He quickly declined. 'Your Highness, with the Xiahou family's strength, it should be the most suitable for this task.'
Xiahou Chengyu, 'The Xiahou family has changed their Patriarch. Their thinking is different from before. I have mentioned it before, but the other party did not respond. I also know that this matter is a little troublesome for you. The forces of the Netherworld Presidential Manor are already in the open. But don't you still have the Virtuous Assembly Hall?
Virtuous Assembly Hall, your head! ' Miao Yi really did not know what to say to her. Concubine Qin's father, Wang Zhuo, had already been promoted to a commander and had become a feudal lord. The troops under him were much more than the people under him. The place where he lived would definitely be heavily guarded. It would be hard for a Prominent Divine Realm cultivator to get close without being discovered. It would be difficult to assassinate him. Moreover, once there was any movement, Wang Zhuo's subordinates would immediately seal off all the Starry Doors in the district. There would also be troops from other districts rushing over to support them. Once it triggered the eastern army's large scale network search, it would not be a joke. How could a high ranking official of the Heavenly Court be killed so easily? Back then, Yun Aotian and the others had only killed a few Heaven's Street commanders. If they had not escaped to Purgatory, they would have lost their lives.
It was not realistic to rely on a few people to kill a feudal lord. At least the risk was high. It could be said that it was even more difficult than assassinating Miao Yi. Miao Yi did not have the support of a large network of troops. After succeeding, it would be easier to escape. What's more, after Concubine Qin did that, the Ying family would have already sent experts to protect her.
Unless they sent a large number of troops to attack and kill their way in and out. But could the Virtuous Assembly Hall gather a large number of troops to do such a thing? What was the difference between this and openly rebelling? Not only would the Heavenly Court immediately shut them down, Miao Yi would also not be able to survive.
This matter could only be done by the Xiahou family. The Xiahou family was well-informed and would be able to grasp the right opportunity to act. However, they would disappear before the commotion became too big.
Thus, Miao Yi put Xiahou Chengyu in a difficult position: Your Highness, ordering people from the pugilistic world to assassinate a high-ranking official of the Heavenly Court, unless you can ensure that it is airtight, the consequences will be unthinkable!
Xiahou Chengyu also had a difficult position: Your Highness, to be framed by such a despicable method, I really cannot swallow this resentment. If that bitch is not eliminated, I will not be able to eat and sleep in peace!
This was her difficulty. Miao Yi was speechless.
Miao Yi also realized that it was not a good idea to keep pushing it away, so he tactfully said: This matter cannot be taken lightly. Your Highness, please allow me to consider it carefully.
Xiahou Chengyu: Lord Niu, I can only rely on you for this matter now. You must not disappoint me!
What is this! After ending the call, Miao Yi held the Star Bell in his hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Fei Hong, who was stirring her ladle in the cauldron, looked over. Miao Yi waved his hand, indicating that he would let her take care of herself. Then, he took out the Star Bell and contacted Yang Qing.
In Purgatory, Yang Qing was still at the edge of the cliff, holding a jar of wine and thinking about life. He was startled awake by the message, and took out the Star Bell to ask what was going on.
Miao Yi: Trouble has come.
Yang Qing raised his head and drank a mouthful of wine, clearing his mind again. He asked: What is it?
Miao Yi: Xiahou Chengyu wants me to kill Qin Fei, and also wants her entire family to die a horrible death. If this isn't trouble, then what is?
"..." Yang Qing was also a little speechless. He asked: She didn't go to the Xiahou family?
Miao Yi immediately explained the conversation between the two sides.
Yang Qing hugged the wine jar and furrowed his brows. He directly pointed out: There are only three reasons why the Xiahou family is unwilling to do it. First, they are unable to do it. Second, they are unwilling to do it for reasons we don't know. Third, they probably know that Xiahou Chengyu will ask Milord to do it.
Miao Yi: Do you have any way to avoid this? This matter is very troublesome. Even the Xiahou family is unwilling to do it. I suspect that the Ying family has already made preparations.
Yang Qing: No matter what reason the Xiahou family has, dare I ask Milord, after so many years, is this the first time the Heavenly Empress has officially asked Milord for help?
Miao Yi: You can say so.
Yang Qing: Then how will Milord avoid this? It has always been Milord looking for the Heavenly Empress to do things for him. This is the first time the Heavenly Empress looks for Milord to do something for her, and Milord immediately refuses. What will the Heavenly Empress think?
Miao Yi: Are you really going to agree?
