“That was not something later. After my mother noticed something wrong, she immediately got it investigated secretly, and found that the one who abducted me was not Lord Shan Ze, but someone my father hired. One reason is that he could use that as an excuse to let whole Qi family lend him a hand. Another reason is as you said, my father wants to take Lord Shan Ze’s cultivation as his own. But it was said his cultivation is pretty high, even above Earth Immortal. Only those at their Mahayana phase of Yin family were not his match at all. He my father tried all he could to drag Qi family into this, and at last…”
Speaking of which, Yin Jinye’s eyes flashed a cold light, “he wanted to take my spiritual root.”
Rong Yi’s body gasped. “your father wanted to take your spiritual root? Your Colorful Spiritual Root?”
“Yes, in the name of Lord Ze Shan to seize me, then no one would suspect him, also wouldn’t ruin his reputation, but he never thought that my aunt, Qi Lan’s mother, would even sacrifice her own life to save me, and didn’t think I would get hurt so heavily. If I died, the spiritual root attached on my soul would also disappear in the heavens and the earth, so he gave up the idea of taking my spiritual root temporarily and then put all his heart on pursing Lord Shan Ze’s whereabouts. While my father’s attention was not on me, my mother secretly sent me to Beiba, in case my father found me again.”
Rong Yi’s body angrily pounded the table, “your father is really an asshole! In order to strengthen himself, he even tried to sacrifice his own kid!”
Yin Jinye’s face looked very calm, as early as the moment he became a ghost cultivator, he already had no feelings for his father. To him, his father was just a stranger. Now hundreds of years later, he already did not have any impression of his father.
If Qi Lan said he wanted to kill his father for the revenge, he would not hesitate to help him kill his father.
Rong Yi’s body asked, “Do you know where your father is now?”
“He has been missing for several years. No one knows where he has been. He would disappear after a period of time. He only came back to Yin Mansion every seven or eight years, and then left after one or two years. In the first few times, he would tell my mother he was going to look for Lord Shan Ze, and then he just left without saying a word. And my mother gradually got used to it, and always told people he was having secluded cultivation.”
Rong Yi’s body asked, “There should be someone who has as high cultivation as Lord Shan Ze, right? Why did he just keep holding on to Lord Shan Ze? Or is it possible Lord Shan Ze got something he wants?”
“Maybe.” Except helping Qi Lan take the revenge, Yin Jinye was neither interested in Lord Shan Ze or whether he got any big secret on him.
Rong Yi’s body saw that he did not want to mention his father’s matter very much, so he tried to switch the topic, “if Lord Shan Ze appears again, do you think you and Qi Lan can deal with him?”
Yin Jinye also had no clue of Lord Shan Ze’s cultivation level now, so he also had no idea whether he was his match or not.
“I saw from Qi Lan memory, 30 Mahayana cultivators just severely injured Lord Shan Ze. Now after hundreds of years, his injury must have been healed, and his cultivation should also have improved a lot, but he hasn’t shown up for hundreds of years, perhaps the serious injury has not been improved.”
Yin Jinye didn’t want to think of such a long-term thing, “We’ll talk about that after we find Lord Shan Ze.”
“You are right, perhaps when you find him, you are already an immortal. With a palm you could let him kneel to beg your mercy.” Rong Yi’s body thought for a moment and then said, “Daddy, you can’t overpower your doom and ascend earlier than me. You can’t leave me behind.”
Yin Jinye raised his eyebrows, “Given your current cultivation speed, are you sure you are the one left behind?”
He had just turned into a wandering immortal, and it would take him at least a decade to face the thunder doom again.
Rong Yi thought that he would be able to ascend in two years, smiling, “maybe I’d ascend first, but I may lose.”
Yin Jinye patted his head with a book, “Don’t talk nonsense, you may bite your tongue.”
“I don’t care. The worst scenario is my primordial spirit perishes. I wish I’d also become a wandering immortal so we could cultivate together, I just don’t want to go to heaven so quickly to be an immortal, because it means it would be a long time I can’t see you. What if you have a new sweetheart and forget about me?”
Yin Jinye suddenly looked at him quietly.
He had seen several couples who separated because of ascending stuff, because one side was unwilling to wait for the other to ascend together, so he independently drove to overpower his doom, but because of the dusty affinity was not yet finished, he would often fail.
Rong Yi’s body looked at him strangely. “Why are you staring at me? Did I say something wrong?”
Yin Jinye recovered and pulled him to sit on his lap, “Nothing, let’s keep reading.”
Rong Yi’s body smiled happily and turned to kiss on his mouth.
Yin Jinye curved his lips, forming a gentle smile. He should extract the souls and spirits for Xiaoyi as soon as possible.
Both of them were cultivators who needed no sleep. They had leafing through the books with others for a few days and nights but still got no clue.
Finally, Rong Yi’s body couldn’t hold it. He got up and stretched his body. “Daddy, let’s go out for a walk,”
Yin Jinye shook his head, “wait for me to finish the books.”
Rong Yi’s body felt a bit sorry seeing that he was so dedicated to checking out those books for him. So he was thinking whether he should show him the book he had seen before.
Just as he was hesitating whether to tell him about the book, Yan Qiushuang hurried in, “Xiaorong, Lord Yin…”
Rong Yi’s body asked, “Mom, is there something wrong?”
“Yes…” After thinking a bit, Yan Qiushuang changed her tone, “No, no, actually it’s nothing serious. Alas, actually it’s about me.”
Yin Jinye put down the book and asked, “What happened?”
“I have a sister who grew up with me. She sent me a message saying that something had happened to her and she wanted me to come over and help her, so I’m here to say goodbye to you, and I’m afraid I can no longer help you look after the kids.” Yan Qiushuang really didn’t want to leave those children.
Rong Yi’s body asked, “Mom, what happened to your friend? Speak up and maybe we can help you.”
“She just sent a message saying that something happened to her, but she didn’t say what it is about. She begged me to go back and help.”
Rong Yi’s body narrowed his eyes, “Mom, please take it easy. I think we better make things clear before you go back.”
Yan Qiushuang looked at him, “Are you worried this might be a trap?”
Rong Yi’s body nodded. “Yes, I’m afraid someone is using your best friend to trick you into going back.”
Yan Qiushuang also thought there was this possibility. She clearly only wrote to tell her best friend that she was in Rong Mansion in Haishan Town, Zhonghai Prefecture. How did she know she was now in Yin Mansion in Dongtang Prefecture?
Of course, it was possible that she sent someone to investigate it.
Yin Jinye also persuaded her, “It is better to send someone to check things out first.”
Yan Qiushuang said, “Sorry to bother you.”
Rong Yi then sent those wind mosquito beasts to pry into the case.
The next day, the wind mosquito beasts brought back the news saying something really happened to Yan Qiushuang’s best friend, who was wounded by the people in dantian, lying on the bed, and her family was taken away.
There was nothing she could do but to turn to Yan Qiushuang for help.
But Yan Qiushuang was already not in Rong Mansion in Haishan Town. Through all connections of her, she finally found Yan Qiushuang in Yin Mansion in Dongtang.
