Chapter 41: They Don’t Know What Kind of Person You Are
The shopkeeper hadn’t expected him to reveal it so easily. “Shut up! Even if you tell them, they won’t let you go.”
The next instant, an arrow hit his abdomen. Seeing this, the person next to him didn’t even dare to breathe, too scared to continue begging for mercy.
Luo Wuhen didn’t want to waste words and aimed the Golden Cicada Bow at him again. “Not speaking leads to only one outcome.”
The man looked at Ye Jingxian. “Spare my life, and I’ll say what I know.”
Ye Jingxian agreed. “Acceptable.”
“The Lord is also in Xi…”
It happened very suddenly. Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly bled from all seven orifices and died instantly.
“This is a curse technique!”
Lin Qingyue spoke up, his face full of surprise and excitement.
He had learned this. This manifestation was undoubtedly a curse technique. He looked at Ye Jingxian.
Ye Jingxian nodded. “It is a curse technique.”
“Someone who can cast curse techniques… interesting.” Lin Qingyue shifted his gaze to the shopkeeper. “Did you trigger the curse, or does simply saying a keyword trigger the curse and cause death?”
Ye Jingxian glanced at the dead man. “He didn’t know he was cursed.”
This effectively answered Lin Qingyue’s question; the curse could only have been cast by the shopkeeper.
Lin Qingyue looked the shopkeeper up and down. His eyes were very evil, revealing a calm madness. It was basically like being brainwashed.
Sure enough, one may know a person’s face but not their heart. This person actually had such great ability.
Seeing them all voicing their opinions, Li Jing also spoke up. “Since he knows curse techniques, he must be an important figure. Just interrogate him properly.”
Luo Wuhen: “With his ability, he couldn’t have learned such a curse technique. It could only be given by the person behind the scenes.”
Seeing this Young Sect Master was just like his previous self, the corners of Lin Qingyue’s mouth turned up slightly. Caught by him, Li Jing glared. Lin Qingyue wasn’t cowardly and immediately glared back.
Just as Ye Jingxian was about to ask more, the shopkeeper, even without strength, wouldn’t speak. Instead, he was bent on death and sacrifice, resolutely refusing to betray anyone.
In just this short while, the shift in his thinking was somewhat abrupt.
“Don’t you dream of ruining the good deed.”
After saying that, he began to convulse. Li Jing hurriedly said, “Stop him, quickly!”
Ye Jingxian: “Useless. He was controlled long ago.”
Li Jing’s eyes widened, anxious. “He hasn’t said where he put all my things yet!”
Hearing this, Lin Qingyue only felt sighing pity. How miserable. Suddenly, he remembered he wanted to hack him twice for revenge earlier.
“Can I make up for my two sword strikes now? They’re all dead; how do I last-hit?” he asked.
His words once again made Ye Jingxian unable to understand. “Little Junior Brother, whipping the corpse is unnecessary.”
Just as he finished speaking, he saw Lin Qingyue fumbling around on the shopkeeper’s body. His brows locked tight.
“Hahaha, found it.” Lin Qingyue pulled out a storage ring and a storage bag. “I knew it; opening an inn means he must have money.”
“That storage ring is mine. You have to give it to me.” Li Jing spoke up.
Lin Qingyue turned back. “Yours? Do you have any proof it’s yours? Why didn’t you say it was yours before I fished it out?”
Li Jing was so angry he just wanted to curse him out. “You are simply using twisted logic.”
Lin Qingyue scoffed lightly. “Even if it is yours, with this attitude, you think I’ll give it to you? It’s not that easy.”
“How about this: apologize to me first, then thank me, and I’ll give it to you.”
He remembered clearly. After Li Jing mocked him earlier, he hadn’t apologized.
Seeing Luo Wuhen not speaking for him, Li Jing was angry. He turned to look at him. “Little Martial Uncle, are you just going to watch him bully me? Are you here to protect me or not?”
Lin Qingyue hurriedly covered the items in his hands, deliberately provoking, “Just like you said, a pauper like me hasn’t seen good things. What I pick up is mine.”
In front of Luo Wuhen, Li Jing felt somewhat guilty, pursing his lips, not knowing how to refute or explain.
Seeing this, Luo Wuhen understood the situation. He took out a piece of Mystic Refined Stone and said to Lin Qingyue.
“Xiao Jing didn’t mean to offend. This is our apology gift; I hope Little Daoist can be magnanimous.”
His attitude was serious, and his wording formal. Naturally, Lin Qingyue gave him face. He gave the items to Luo Wuhen and accepted the Mystic Refined Stone as well.
This thing could be used to forge swords or repair sword bodies. It was indeed a very satisfactory choice.
Li Jing stood aside watching Luo Wuhen apologize for him, still wearing that unchanging expression, and got even angrier. Anger and resentment were plainly visible on his face.
Lin Qingyue silently retreated to his Eldest Senior Brother’s side.
Tsk, really scary.
This Young Sect Master was so angry even when he wasn’t the one apologizing. Seems he had too much internal heat (anger).
He didn’t understand the subtle atmosphere between them at all—more precisely, he didn’t understand Li Jing’s look.
Now that everyone was dead, they could only go to Xishou City to take a look and find other clues.
The group decided to make do and rest nearby for now.
After all the commotion, Lin Qingyue was a bit hungry. He took out fresh beast meat and started roasting it by himself.
Seeing this, Ye Jingxian stepped forward. “Let me.”
Lin Qingyue moved his hand aside. “No need. How could I trouble Eldest Senior Brother? I can do it myself.”
He could support himself. Earlier he was told he “spoke without restraint”; if he spoke now, he’d be told he couldn’t distinguish the five grains.
“Eldest Senior Brother doesn’t need to worry about me.”
Ye Jingxian watched his clumsy movements; the steps made him uncomfortable, completely unbearable to watch.
“The taste of burnt charcoal doesn’t suit you.”
Lin Qingyue: “…” Too much.
He looked at the meat he roasted. Where was it burnt black?
Lin Qingyue was unconvinced. “Can Eldest Senior Brother not crush others’ confidence? I think I’ve improved a lot.”
Why can’t this be eaten? My stomach is good; I’m not afraid.
Seeing Luo Wuhen and Li Jing, Ye Jingxian belatedly realized roughly why he was so stubborn about roasting the meat himself.
He spoke, “Little Junior Brother, what I meant earlier was for you to be cautious in speech and action.”
Lin Qingyue turned the roast, responding with a, “Oh.”
“Speaking without restraint” and “cautious in speech and action” weren’t good terms for him.
When responding to Ye Jingxian, he was very perfunctory.
[There are other people here. They don’t know what kind of person you are. Your words will make them think that at such a young age, your mind and methods are so scary. For you, it is not good.]
His sudden voice transmission startled Lin Qingyue. Unfortunately, his cultivation wasn’t enough to transmit back.
After Ye Jingxian said this, he didn’t speak again. Lin Qingyue lowered his eyes and stared at the roast meat in his hand.
In a moment of inattention, he burnt it.
“Let me do it. You eat a spirit fruit to fill your stomach first.” Ye Jingxian said.
Lin Qingyue hesitated for a moment.
