PFC Chapter 719 Confused
Chapter 719 Confused
After the battle ended, all the corpses at the scene were burned to ashes by the Golden Crow Flame unleashed by Lin Que.
And soon enough, the heavy snow falling from the sky covered the blood-red area, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
After the battle, Ning Zhichuan and his group quickly used their coordinate tokens to capture the barely breathing Wang Renhai and return to Yunwang Valley.
"Lin Que, I..."
On the way back to Shenbei City, Liu Qingyi looked conflicted, as if she wanted to say something to Lin Que, but couldn't bring herself to say it.
Hearing this, Lin Que, who was walking slowly in the snow, laughed and said, "Just say what you want to say. Right now, there are only the three of us in this place."
Lin Que's words seemed to have a hidden meaning, but Liu Qingyi and Shen Wuliang did not understand their meaning.
But they didn't ask. After hesitating for a while, Liu Qingyi sighed and said, "Lin Que, I think Wang Renhai and his group never betrayed Yunwang Valley from beginning to end."
"There is no intention to submit to the Chongming Divine Cult."
"I know!"
"So Ning Zhichuan... um?!" Liu Qingyi paused, then said incredulously, "You know?!"
Lin Que smiled and nodded.
"Then why..." Liu Qingyi's expression was still slightly conflicted.
Seeing Liu Qingyi's still conflicted expression, Lin Que smiled at her and then said calmly, "Although you are already a Tribulation Transcending Realm expert, perhaps it's because you've been in the Immortal Pavilion for too long."
"It's perfectly normal to not understand the ways of the world and to feel that they are inappropriate!"
"From your perspective, you might think that Ning Zhichuan went too far, that he deliberately framed someone with a fabricated crime in order to eliminate them and achieve his own goals."
"You think this person is ruthless and want to ask me why I would aid and abet evil, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyi thought for a moment, then nodded, feeling that what Lin Que said was exactly the question she wanted to ask but found difficult to bring up.
Seeing this, Lin Que continued, "But from Ning Zhichuan's perspective, he is thinking about his own interests, as well as the future interests and path of the entire Yunwang Valley."
"Living under this sky, what everyone cares about and pursues is nothing more than 'profit'."
"As for what's happening now, we just need to see if it benefits us and Ning Zhichuan and his group!"
"As for the rest, we don't need to worry about them too much."
"As the Valley Master of Yunwang Valley, Ning Zhichuan is like an emperor of a human dynasty or the leader of a sect in Yunwang Valley. Moreover, he is one of our most important allies in the Chongming Continent in the future."
As the saying goes, "How can one tolerate another's snoring beside one's bed?"
"Yunwang Valley only needs one voice; it doesn't need any other chatter."
"Perhaps you still don't understand, but your master certainly does. You can ask your master when you return to the Sealed Heaven Continent."
"If it were her, she would definitely agree with Ning Zhichuan doing this."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyi still did not understand the meaning of Lin Que's words.
However, this does not mean that Liu Qingyi was incapable of killing. On the contrary, she did not hesitate at all when killing Wang Renhai and his men.
It's just that there are some things she can't figure out.
Based on Liu Qingyi's strong personality, she believed that all people in the world could be divided into only three types.
Good people, bad people, and those who have offended others!
As for the latter two types of people, Liu Qingyi had nothing to say. Killing them would not have made her feel anything; it would be like crushing an ant.
But she just couldn't understand why someone on her side, who hadn't offended her and wasn't one of those damned, murderous people from the cult, was killed simply because of a different voice.
If you say that Wang Renhai and his group wanted to kill Lin Que, and that you killed them to protect Lin Que, that's a plausible reason.
But the fact that they were falsely accused made Liu Qingyi feel conflicted and upset.
"Don't overthink it!" Lin Que shook his head and smiled when he saw Liu Qingyi's still conflicted look. "Just make sure it's in our best interest."
"Or you can just say you acted to protect me."
"Anyway, you were a bodyguard to begin with."
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingyi immediately raised an eyebrow and said, feigning anger, "Get out!"
"You're the bodyguard!"
"Yes, yes, I'm a bodyguard! I'm a bodyguard!"
"Hehe, it's quite interesting that a bodyguard at the Nascent Soul stage is protecting someone at the Tribulation Transcending stage!"
"roll!!!"
And so, the three of them chatted and joked as they walked towards Shenbei City through the snow-covered ground.
Although Liu Qingyi still couldn't understand, she gradually put her doubts aside as she joked with Lin Que, and the confusion on her face gradually disappeared.
Just as Lin Que said, he could ask his master after he returned to the Sealed Heaven Continent.
After all, it's better to have your own master guide you on some things.
......
Soon, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang returned to Shenbei City, while Liu Qingyi temporarily entered the small world.
Although she was reluctant due to the influence of the Black and White Daoist Secret Realm, she knew that it was not advisable to expose herself to the outside world at the moment, so she did not say anything more.
Moreover, Lin Que assured her that he would get his hands on the materials for the Concealing Breath Pearl as soon as possible, so that she wouldn't have to stay in the small world every day.
"Manager Ji, we've finished our business."
"We can set off now!"
Upon arriving at the dilapidated merchant guild, Mibaozhai, Lin Que and Shen Wuliang saw Ji Qian busily tidying up as soon as they entered, and immediately greeted him with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Ji Qian turned his head and saw Lin Que and Shen Wuliang standing at the door. He immediately stopped what he was doing and jumped down from a high chair.
"That's wonderful!"
"Rou'er!"
"We should get going. We can take you back to see the ancestral home of our Ji family!"
As soon as Ji Qian jumped off the chair, he shouted at Ji Xiaorou inside the Chamber of Commerce!
"I'm coming!"
"But could you wait a bit while I tidy up, Grandpa?"
"I'm filthy now!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaorou poked out her dirty little head, then quickly withdrew it.
However, Lin Que asked doubtfully, "Manager Ji, are you really going to take your granddaughter with you?"
"Didn't you say that your Ji family's ancestral land is currently being occupied by a group of people from a religious cult? Aren't you afraid that your granddaughter is in danger?"
"We might not be able to care about that at that point."
Although Lin Que possesses a small world, he cannot easily let others know about it and enter it.
But then, Lin Que heard Ji Qian sigh and say something that left him utterly puzzled...
"I know that, and I didn't want to either!"
"But if Rou'er doesn't come, entering the ancestral land of my Ji family will become extremely difficult!"
"There's even a risk of it collapsing, causing the ancestral land to close completely!"
