Chapter 149: Qin Yueyi's Transformation II
As a little devil, Qin Yueyi was very clever and wasn't fooled by Xie Ao Yu's confident attitude. He asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"What's the point? The real killer was just a skilled mercenary hired by Joris, and now that Joris is dead, finding that assassin would be enough to avenge him. There's no need to get entangled with the Pasca family at all." Xie Ao Yu had long prepared this lie to feed to Qin Yue Yi.
"Do you know who the murderer is?!" Qin Yueyi suddenly jumped up.
Xie Ao Yu slapped Qin Yue's buttocks, "You think I'm like you, crying all the time. These past few days, I've been secretly investigating, and Second Brother had a premonition that someone might be out to harm him, so he told me to pay attention to a few people. Luckily, I was able to find out who it was."
"Who is it? Who is it?" Qin Yueyi shouted.
Xie Ao Yu shook his head.
Qin Yueyi angrily said: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because the other party is too strong, let alone you, even if it were me, there would only be a dead end. You should know that Second Brother has Rainbow-level masters protecting him." Xie Ao Yu poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
"Then tell me, who is it? No matter who it is, I'll beg Grandfather to take action. Even if it's the King of Heaven, Grandfather will definitely be able to capture him." Qin Yueyin shouted.
Listening to her confident words, Xie Ao Yu's heart moved, could it be that the mysterious old man of the Qin family was a tenth-grade master?
But I've never heard of a top ten master with the surname Qin.
"You little devil, you're really disappointing me." Xie Ao Yu's face sank.
Qin Yue knelt on the bed, holding onto Xie Ao Yu's arm, "What's wrong with me?"
Xie Ao Yu coldly said: "How did Second Brother treat you? His body is not yet cold, and you don't even think about taking revenge with your own hands, but instead want to use someone else's hands."
"Bang bang bang......"
Tears fell from Qin Yueyi's eyes.
She looked so fragile that Xie Ao Yu really wanted to hold her in his arms and love her dearly, but he had to harden his heart.
Everyone knows that Qin Yueyi and Qin Yuenan are deeply affectionate siblings. If something goes wrong with Qin Yue, it's easy to associate it with Qin Yuenan, so he has to harden his heart.
"Are you kidding me, forcing me to cultivate and not think about Second Brother?" Qin Yueyi sat on the bed, her hands tightly grasping her beautiful legs, hiding her face between them.
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask Guan Jia. He and I joined forces to investigate the murderer, and he has a letter left behind by my second brother. Although it doesn't explicitly state the identity of the murderer, there is a hint of implication." Xie Ao Yu said.
Qin Yueyi suddenly lifted her head, "Really?!"
The Qin family had more than ten stewards, among whom the chief steward Qin Yuenan and Qin Yueyi were somewhat special in their identity as stewards of some miscellaneous matters. He was a maternal relative of Qin Yueyi's mother and had a very close relationship with the Qin siblings, which is also why this steward knew that Qin Yuenan was not dead.
Xie Ao Yu nodded seriously.
"I'm going to find the housekeeper!" Qin Yueyi jumped down from bed barefoot.
"Come back!"
Xie Ao Yu pulled her back in one swift motion, "You're just going like that? Eat something first, then go find the housekeeper."
Forced by Xie Ao Yu, Qin Yue reluctantly ate something, and the two went to find the housekeeper. Earlier, Xie Ao Yu had already discussed with the housekeeper, after all, they had to deceive Qin Yue... It's hard!
After some persuasion, plus the letter left by Qin Yuenan, Qin Yue finally believed their words. However, they didn't tell Qin Yue who the murderer was, only telling her that when her strength reached a certain level, she would naturally be told.
The strength of the perpetrator was set by Xie Ao Yu as lower than Saint level.
If it were higher, Qin Yue would definitely have doubts, and the guards protecting Qin Yuenan were all Rainbow-level, which was just right.
For Qin Yue who is only at the spiritual level now, it will still take a considerable amount of time to reach the sacred level, so don't worry about her.
It was also from that moment on that Qin Yueyi put her mind to cultivation, and occasionally began to pay attention to some of the Qin family affairs that Qin Yuenan had taken over before, gradually coming up with some ideas.
Xie Ao Yu finally felt completely at ease.
Every time he looked at Qin Yue's diligent practice, Xie Ao Yu couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion. Perhaps this incident would be the perfect opportunity for the Qin family to rise again.
In the new generation of the Qin family, there are many elites.
However, the ones who can support a family and advance it are probably only Qin Yuenan and Qin Yuwei. Now that Qin Yuenan has gone to the Kingdom Alliance to make a name for himself from scratch, Qin Yuwei naturally wants to stand up too.
Actually, the most terrifying person in the Qin family is still Qin Yueyi.
This little devil's brain is too good to be used, clever to the point of excess, only using this cleverness for play and mischief. Once she turns her head around and becomes serious, that's when she reveals her talent.
On such a day, all eight strong teams were born.
Xie Aoyu, who had never lost a battle before, secured his spot in the top 8 early on. The others to enter the top 8 were Bingwu, Lang Zhantian, Lin Dongyun, Han Yue, Lirai Shuo, Xing'er and Bahadur Tasi.
Wu Jia of Emperor Trio was eliminated by Xin Ge, and Wang Chao was eliminated by Lin Dongyun.
The final eight have been decided, which also means that the overall finals of the last Continental Young Master Competition will be scheduled. The venue is the Imperial City of the Tuluo Empire.
The second day after deciding on the top eight, the top eight members entered the Imperial Palace under the leadership of the Imperial Guard.
According to Huangzi Yun Tianfeng's promise, they will all have the opportunity to choose a weapon and a fighting skill in the imperial palace for the final match.
The Imperial Palace's Fighting Skill Pavilion is guarded by two Heavenly King-level experts.
The eight strong masters who came with the guards also exchanged blows with their leader, and the leader was surprisingly Chen Qi. As for the prince Yun Tianfeng, he did not appear.
"Sir Chen Qi, shouldn't we let them enter separately? Those plebeians, entering the Douji Pavilion, won't they sully the noble floor?" Bahatutas stepped forward first and loudly said to Sir Chen Qi, as if afraid that others wouldn't hear.
"Yes, Sir Imperial Guard." Wu Jia also said.
Because seven top players from the 32 strong appeared to be enemies of Ge Mingde, this time in addition to the eight finalists, he brought two substitutes, namely Wang Chao and Wu Jia. Otherwise, before the final, there would have been losses for the Empire, which would have been very embarrassing.
Chen Qi didn't even look at them and walked straight up to Xie Ao Yu's front, "Sir, this way."
This made everyone else's eyes widen in shock.
Chen Qi is the imperial bodyguard captain, although he only holds the title of earl, even dukes of the empire have to show him respect when they see him. He is the emperor's most trusted person.
"Chen Qi, how are your two elderly masters at home?" Xie Ao Yu said with a hint of a smile.
Chen Qi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sir, this is all due to the attention of the masters, you can't blame me, a small person like myself."
"Never mind, wait a bit, you take me to see them later, they should have time, right?" Xie Ao Yu didn't plan on making a big deal out of it, he just wanted to ask, what surprise did the old emperor give himself, now he should say something.
"The old master has been waiting for you, now that you're here, you can go see him." Chen Qi replied, and then stretched out his hand to make a welcoming gesture, "Sir, please come in."
Xie Ao Yu then took Bing Wu's hand and stepped into the Dou Technique Pavilion.
Everyone was stunned at this scene.
Lang Zhan Tian and Lin Dong Yun were also stunned, only reacting when they saw Xie Ao Yu enter, the two of them hastily followed him in, while the others also followed in a daze.
The Imperial Palace's Fighting Technique Pavilion was not as complex as the Qin family's, inside were all bookshelves, on top of which were placed full of fighting technique scrolls.
"Gentlemen, His Majesty has decreed that each of you is limited to choosing one martial skill. Those who choose multiple skills will be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Those who have chosen their martial skill may leave and must not linger." Chen Qi stood at the entrance of the Martial Skill Pavilion and announced in a loud voice.
People who were holding onto a glimmer of hope were all startled.
Inside the Douji Pavilion, there were also some people who stood in pairs in front of a bookcase, staring at the young talents who came to find Douji.
Xie Ao Yu roughly scanned it and found that various attributes of Dou Qi were all present, none of them were missing. He looked at those attributes and thought of his own situation.
Although there aren't many techniques in his hands, they are all top-notch techniques.
Earth attribute martial arts, including Badaoquan and Tuxuan Shu. Badaoquan is particularly special, even if you study it for ten years, you may not be able to master it, so Xie Ao Yu did not plan to choose earth attribute martial arts.
Lightning attribute martial arts, with Red Thunderbolt Slash and Surprising Thunder Kick. Although these two martial arts are not as good as the Dragon Fist, they are also quite good. With the help of Ling Lei, their power is sufficient.
He is now lacking only in Wood Attribute martial skills.
Unlike the weak wood attribute attacks of others, Xie Ao Yu's wood attribute has become sharp and unmatched after being nourished by metal, it can be said that in terms of attack power, it is not inferior to lightning attribute at all.
Gottlieb is currently forging a wooden attribute Tenka-Goken for him.
If there wasn't a wood-attribute douqi to match with, it would be too much of an injustice to the Tianwang Sword. Moreover, Gottlieb is going to forge the strongest Tianwang Sword, not just any ordinary Tianwang Sword that can be compared to others.
Xie Ao Yu directly walked into the wooden attribute's Dou Technique zone.
The number of Wood-type martial arts is much smaller compared to other attributes. Even the Xie family can only come up with a few types of Wood-type martial arts.
The Imperial Palace's Fighting Technique Pavilion is the opposite, with more than a dozen bookshelves for wood-attribute fighting techniques, each one densely packed with scrolls of fighting techniques. In front of each bookshelf, there are two people standing guard.
Xie Ao Yu started searching.
He chose a wood-attribute fighting technique with two requirements: first, it must be top-level attack technique; second, it must be a knife-based technique, the rest doesn't matter.
The result was too many fighting skills, and it took Xie Ao Yu a whole hour to choose one wood attribute fighting skill.
Martial Art Name... Fleeting Blossom!
When he picked up the scroll to take a look, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Qi secretly giving him a thumbs-up. Xie Ao Yu couldn't help but smile, it seemed that this fighting technique was not so simple after all.
He didn't hesitate either and put away the "Fragrant Flower Fist Technique" scroll.
Chen Qi walked over, saying in a low voice: "Sir, your eyes are venomous. This is one of the three great martial arts created by Ye Chaofeng, the greatest martial artist of all time. The other two are the Overlord Dragon Fist and the Nine-Leaf Fire Lotus Slash. Among them, Momentary Fragrance is particularly special because it is a wood attribute, and the combat power of wood attributes is inherently low. It's said that it's not as mysterious and difficult to understand as the other two martial arts."
Xie Ao Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't expect that "Fleeting Beauty" would actually be one of Ye Chao Feng's three strongest fighting skills. What a stroke of luck!
