Qin Yang put away the two late-stage class 5 soul crystals and a smile appeared on his face.
After absorbing their power, his cultivation would reach late-stage Level 5 and he would have the combat power of an early-stage Level 6!
"Little Qinqin, you're amazing!"
Ye Xing 'er rushed over and hugged Qin Yang excitedly.
Qin Yang's actual height was actually one foot and five inches, which was more than 40 centimeters tall. However, he had deliberately shrunk a lot at this moment. Compared to Ye Xing 'er, he was still small. The little girl picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
"Luckily, no one saw this."
Qin Yang smiled bitterly. If Luo Ling Na and the others saw this, they would laugh at him for a long time.
"Xing 'er, that's enough. Put me down."
Qin Yang said. If he used his power, it would be easy for him to break free. However, Ye Xing 'er might not be able to help herself. With so many people watching, they would know her true strength.
Ye Xing 'er's current Level 4 cultivation was too shocking. It was not appropriate to let others know.
Although he already had the strength of a Level 5 complete, it was not enough to guarantee Ye Xing 'er's safety.
"Hehe, I won't."
"Little Qinqin, let me hug you for a while. I haven't seen you in a long time."
As Ye Xing 'er spoke, she hugged Qin Yang and shook him as if she was hugging a doll to coax him to sleep!
Hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at them.
They had strange expressions. Qin Yang had just finished off the Sword Leader and the others. Now, he was being "bullied" by Ye Xing 'er.
However, this made many elves and experts of the Ice Palace look at Qin Yang with much friendlier eyes.
Qin Yang's performance just now was a bit too fierce. If his strength continued to increase, what would happen if he lost control?
Ye Xing 'er and Qin Yang only had an equal contract!
"Xing 'er, you should let Qin Yang go. We'll go back first."
Ye Shouxin smiled.
"Alright!"
Ye Xing 'er listened to her grandfather. She put Qin Yang down. Qin Yang let out a long sigh of relief.
Soon, Qin Yang and the others left, and the crowd also dispersed.
After returning to the place where Qin Yang and the others were staying, Zhuang Yun told Ye Xing 'er and the others about what had happened in the past half a month. Zhuang Yun didn't know Ye Xing' er's cultivation before, so she was shocked to hear that she was already at the fourth rank.
"Qin Yang, then your current strength …"
Zhuang Yun looked at Qin Yang.
Logically speaking, Qin Yang had the strength of a pinnacle mid-stage Level 5. Back then, he was only at the pinnacle of Level 4. Now, it was unlikely that he was only at the pinnacle of Level 5.
Qin Yang smiled and said, "I'm already at the mid-stage of class 5, and my strength has reached the peak of class 5! Xing 'er, I said before that my strength will increase very quickly. When the time comes, your father will definitely be revived. I didn't lie to you, did I? "
Ye Xing 'er nodded repeatedly.
She was much more confident now. She had reached Level Four in such a short time. She believed that she would definitely be able to reach Level Five in the future. By then, Qin Yang would be able to reach Level Seven, and he would be able to resurrect her father!
"Peak of class 5!"
Ye Shouxin did not know Qin Yang's exact strength. After hearing Qin Yang's words, he looked at Qin Yang in shock.
"Qin Yang, you still have two late-stage Level 5 Soul Crystals that you haven't absorbed. When the time comes, won't you have the strength of a Level 6?"
Ye Shouxin took a deep breath and said.
Qin Yang smiled and nodded. "More or less. After absorbing those two Soul Crystals, the probability of reaching Level 6 is still very high! However, you guys keep this a secret. Don't tell anyone, not even the powerhouses of the Ice Palace. "
Ye Shouxin and the others quickly nodded.
Even Ye Xing 'er, who was already at Level 4 and much smarter than children her age, knew that it was better for Qin Yang to hide part of his strength!
"I'll go cook and celebrate."
"Xing 'er, it's been a long time since you've eaten my cooking."
Zhuang Yun smiled. She was in a good mood. Ye Xing 'er had reached Level 4, and Qin Yang had such strong strength. They were safer, and the probability of Ye Jiang being revived in the future was also higher!
After the meal, Zhuang Yun, Ye Xing 'er, and the others left.
Qin Yang hadn't started cultivating yet. Liu Man went to Qin Yang and the others and entered the villa where Qin Yang and the others were staying.
"Elder Liu, your expression doesn't seem right. Is there a problem after I defeated Sword Master and the others?"
Qin Yang asked.
Liu Man shook her head with a solemn expression. She stared into Qin Yang's eyes and said, "Qin Yang, the palace lord has been poisoned. You guys didn't leak the news, did you?"
Qin Yang shook his head, and Ye Shouxin also quickly shook his head.
Qin Yang said in a low voice, "This news was leaked?"
Liu Man nodded. "Yes, this news was leaked. Now, the higher-ups of the Ice Palace have received the news. In fact, the powerhouses also know that you guys received the news before, and they suspect you guys.
"The Grand Elder said that you guys received the news in advance. She also has some suspicions about you guys. I hope you can understand!"
"The palace lord has been poisoned for more than a day or two. The news was never leaked before."
Qin Yang frowned and said, "Elder Liu, how could we leak this news? If this news spreads, the Skyfire Guild will know. With our enmity with the Skyfire Guild, the Skyfire Guild will target us first!"
Liu Man nodded. "We know that. That's why the Grand Elder only has some suspicions. She didn't come to find trouble with you guys."
Ye Shouxin said, "Elder Liu, this definitely couldn't have been leaked by us."
"Think about it. With Xing 'er's current situation, she has a high chance of becoming the palace lord of the Ice Palace in the future. How could we leak the news and cause problems to the Ice Palace?"
Liu Man sighed. "What you guys said makes sense. It's just that only a few know about it!"
Qin Yang said, "Elder Liu, can you tell us who knows about it? As an outsider, I can help analyze it. "
Liu Man hesitated for a moment and nodded. "Other than you guys, there are only five people who know about it! The Grand Elder, me, Saintess-in-training Tantai Yue, and two other confidants of the palace lord. They're old people who follow the palace lord. "
Qin Yang's eyes flashed. "Saintess-in-training Tantai Yue?"
Liu Man said, "Qin Yang, are you suspecting her? But it shouldn't be possible. The palace lord treats her very well. As the palace lord of the Ice Palace, she can't get married. The palace lord naturally doesn't have a daughter. She treats Tantai Yue as her daughter! "
"Tantai Yue also doesn't have any other family members. The Ice Palace is her home."
Qin Yang said, "So if Xing 'er doesn't become the Saintess-in-training, there's a high chance that Tantai Yue will become the Saintess-in-training?"
Liu Man thought for a moment and nodded. "Although the other two Saintess-in-training have supporters, the palace lord favors Tantai Yue more. So the chance of her becoming the Saintess-in-training should be more than 50%."
Qin Yang and Ye Shouxin looked at each other.
As outsiders, they had a clearer view. They were sure that there was no news from their side. They felt that it was most likely Tantai Yue had a problem.
Tang Shuang, Liu Man, and Qin Yang believed in them more.
As for the two confidants of the palace lord, their fates were completely tied to the palace lord. No matter what the reason was, as long as the palace lord fell, their situation would be much worse than it was now.
Tantai Yue had a high chance of losing the position of Saintess-in-training. But if Ye Xing 'er died, the chances of her becoming the Saintess-in-training were still very high!
"Elder Liu, since the news has been exposed, what's the Heavenly Fire Sect's reaction?"
Qin Yang asked.
Liu Man said in a deep voice, "Before this news was exposed, the sect master of the Heavenly Fire Sect, Fan Yuanqing, announced in public that he would duel with the palace lord! He said that he would defeat the palace lord in fifteen minutes. Otherwise, he would lose. The bet is one billion spirit coins! "
"If he wins, the Ice Palace needs to hand you and Ye Shouxin over to the Heavenly Fire Sect!"
Qin Yang frowned and said, "Without a doubt, the Heavenly Fire Sect had received the news before. They are doing this to verify if the palace lord is fine! If nothing happened to the palace lord, the Ice Palace will definitely accept such a duel. "
If nothing happened to the palace lord, it would be a very simple matter to not lose in fifteen minutes. One billion spirit coins would be a free gift!
Now that the news of the palace lord being poisoned had spread, if nothing happened to the palace lord, all the more reason to stand up and clarify.
"Yes."
Liu Man nodded.
"Qin Yang, under normal circumstances, you are indeed not suspicious. But you should know that Ye Xing 'er can reach Level 4 in a short time. The Ice Palace is currently facing a lot of pressure. "
"There is a way to resolve the pressure, and that is to contact the royal family and let them know that Ye Xing 'er has Level 4 strength. Let Ye Xing' er immediately become the Saintess-in-training, or even the palace lord of the Ice Palace!"
If the royal family treated Ye Xing 'er as a treasure, and she became the palace lord, the other forces would definitely not dare to have any ideas about her.
Qin Yang frowned and said, "Elder Tang, is this why you have some doubts about me?"
"You think I want Xing 'er to become the palace lord so that I can use the resources of the Ice Palace to improve myself?"
Liu Man said, "The palace lord watched Tantai Yue grow up, and the first elder also watched her grow up. When the palace lord was in seclusion, the first elder also took care of Tantai Yue more. Although the first elder thinks that Xing 'er is more suitable to become the Saintess-in-training for the sake of the sect, it doesn't mean that she doesn't love Tantai Yue! "
"Understood."
Qin Yang nodded.
Tang Shuang and the others' considerations were not completely unreasonable. They did not trust Qin Yang's group very much, and their feelings for Tantai Yue were there. Tang Shuang would definitely be more suspicious of Qin Yang's group!
"Qin Yang, led by the second elder, some experts of the Ice Palace have proposed to make trouble for you. The first elder and I have suppressed them, but you have to hand over something first."
Liu Man said.
"Soul crystals?"
Liu Man nodded. "Two late Level 5 soul crystals. You have to hand them over first. I hope you can understand!"
Qin Yang nodded. "I understand, but I won't hand them over immediately. Take me to the palace lord. I want to talk to Tantai Yue in front of her. It's best if the rest of the people who know the news are present. "
