My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Qi Yu also looked at Qin Xiyao, their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

Finally, Qi Yu withdrew his gaze, nodded to Qin Xiyao, and walked past her.

Qin Xiyao frowned as she watched Qi Yu's retreating figure.

Qi Yu is fine, but her emotions are clearly off!

What happened?

After learning from her father that Qi Yu was in danger, she rushed over immediately.

But it seems we're still too late!

Qin Xiyao frowned as she glanced at the snow-covered mountains and forests.

Even from this distance, she could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

Such a large-scale freezing is something even a second-grade cultivator couldn't achieve, right?

Everyone underestimated Qi Yu. He was not a weak scholar; he was very strong, at least at the second-rank level.

Even his own father probably didn't realize it.

Chapter Ninety-Four: A Heart Chilled by the Rain

An autumn rain washed away the old dust, and the capital was shrouded in continuous drizzle, with a sense of oppression spreading.

Qi Yu walked down the street, carrying the box wrapped in his coat, letting the rain pelt him.

The surrounding area was full of pedestrians busy trying to avoid the rain, and everyone who passed by gave Qi Yu a strange look.

Because Qi Yu's hair was disheveled and wet, plastered to his face, he looked like a water ghost that had just climbed ashore.

Qi Yu had no idea how long he had been walking; his clothes below the knees were covered in yellow mud and sewage.

Qi Yu looks quite disheveled right now.

Qi Yu's thoughts were somewhat scattered, and before he knew it, he had arrived at Wanliu Garden.

A magnificent carriage was parked at the entrance of Wanliu Garden.

That's Li Ming's carriage!

Li Ming was standing in front of the carriage, while Li Minghai stood behind him, holding an umbrella.

Looking at Li Ming, Qi Yu felt an overwhelming sense of nausea.

It all started when I met Li Ming!

Why me of all people?

All I want is a simple, ordinary life, is that so difficult?

Qi Yu was lost in thought. After calming down, he walked towards Li Ming.

As they drew closer, Li Ming hurriedly unfastened his cloak, stepped into the rain, and draped it over Qi Yu's shoulders.

"Brother Qi, autumn rain is most harmful to the lungs, be careful not to catch a cold!"

Qi Yu glanced at the hand on his shoulder, raised an eyebrow, and felt a chill run down his spine.

nausea!

Li Ming is still so hypocritical!

"Your Highness, please leave! I am not feeling well today and cannot receive guests!"

Qi Yu said this in a low voice, and then walked past Li Ming.

Li Ming watched Qi Yu's retreating figure without saying a word.

Qi Yu pushed open the gate of Wanliu Garden, went inside, and then closed the gate.

Qi Yu closed the door and turned around. He looked up at Su Yue, who was standing in the yard getting soaked in the rain. His mouth was slightly open, but then he pursed it tightly.

Seeing Qi Yu trying so hard to suppress his tears, Su Yue felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her eyes gradually welled up with tears. She bit her lower lip, trying to hold back the urge to cry.

My husband is very popular, but most of his friendships are just casual acquaintances.

Only Wang Defa and Song Yuntao were his closest friends with whom he could get along.

Song Yuntao's betrayal and Wang Defa's death must have been a huge blow to him.

Seeing Qi Yu's trembling shoulders, Su Yue could no longer hold back. She lifted her skirt, ran to Qi Yu's side, and hugged his waist.

She didn't know how to comfort Qi Yu, because she had always been taciturn and not very good at speaking.

So this was the only way she could tell Qi Yu that she was here and would face everything with him, no matter what.

Qi Yu held the box in his arms, head down, and remained silent.

The warmth emanating from Su Yue dispelled some of the chill, and Qi Yu slowly raised his head.

"My lady, please instruct the servants to tidy up the main hall, and then buy a coffin—the best one possible. Don't worry about the cost."

Su Yue nodded, then released Qi Yu, wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "I'll go take care of it right away. Husband, you should take a hot bath and change your clothes first, so you don't get sick!"

Qi Yu nodded, then watched Su Yue's hurried departure in silence, finally looking at the box in his arms.

"Old Wang, you stay here for a few days. I'll make the entire Chang family and Song Yuntao pay with their lives!"

Beneath Qi Yu's damp, disheveled hair, a pair of bloodshot eyes gleamed with a chilling light.

……

Qi Yu entered the room, where steaming hot bathwater had already been poured into the wooden tub. After placing the box on the table, Qi Yu walked towards the screen.

One by one, the wet clothes were hung on the screen, and Qi Yu stepped into the wooden tub.

The water was very hot and warm, but for Qi Yu, even the hottest water felt incredibly cold at that moment.

Su Yue returned quickly, carrying a set of clothes in her arms.

After putting the clothes away, Su Yue prepared to leave, but looking at Qi Yu's indifferent face, she felt a little worried and ultimately did not leave.

"Husband, let me help you wash!" Su Yue said softly.

Qi Yu didn't turn his head, but looked at the water and said, "No need, please go and fetch some more hot water, and prepare a towel, I'll wash Old Wang too!"

Su Yue pursed her lips, her eyes slightly reddening, and looked at Qi Yu with pity.

"it is good!"

Su Yue left, and Qi Yu looked at his reflection in the water.

I used to think I was quite handsome, but now I look at myself and I think I look so ugly.

Like a clown, being made a fool of!

Everyone treats him like a clown, making fun of him at will, and using his friends as tools to mock him.

Unforgivable!

Whoosh!

His right hand emerged from beneath the water, holding a jade pendant with the character "德" (virtue) engraved on it.

……

The events that occurred at the manor outside the city spread throughout the entire capital in a very short time.

Because that frozen forest was so clearly visible.

Ordinary people were puzzled, believing that a demon had been born, and they flocked to the Changsheng Temple to offer incense and pray for peace.

But for those important figures, this frozen forest is a message they are being told.

Qi Yu is a second-rank martial artist!

And it's not just any ordinary second-grade item!

The fact that Qi Yu's true energy could cover such a large area indicates that his true energy reserves are enormous, almost reaching the first rank. Otherwise, it would be impossible to freeze such a large area of ​​forest.

Peak of Grade Two, almost reaching Grade One!

This wouldn't normally be a problem, since they've seen first-rank martial artists before, and even grandmasters.

The problem lies in Qi Yu's age and the intelligence he had previously gathered.

Qi Yu is only twenty-one years old, yet he's already close to the first rank!

What does this represent?

This represents unparalleled talent. As long as he doesn't die, reaching the first rank before the age of twenty-five is not a problem, and becoming a grandmaster by the age of thirty-five is not impossible.

Qi Yu's talent is top-notch, even on the entire continent!

Geniuses like these aren't scary at all, since talent doesn't equal strength. Even if Qi Yu doesn't become a grandmaster, he can still be killed.

What is most shocking is that Qi Yu became the disciple of the Taoist leader.

The leader of Taoism is a grandmaster, and among the grandmasters, he is one of the most prominent.

With him around, who would dare to touch Qi Yu?

Given Qi Yu's current talent and level of attainment, there is a high probability that he will inherit Taoism and become the next leader.

The major families of the Great Yun Dynasty have all experienced varying degrees of instability.

If Qi Yu really becomes the head coach, even if they defeat Li Ming, their future will still not be easy.

Taoism has a large number of followers in the Dayun Dynasty and even on the mainland, which is a hidden force.

Only Taoism can rival Confucianism in this respect.

The reason why the Chang family insisted on plotting to assassinate Qi Yu even after learning that he had become the leader of the sect was due to this.

They had no choice; if Qi Yu didn't die, they would be the ones to die!

Qi Yu is no longer a nobody.

Qi Yu has already reached a position equal to theirs, or even higher.

They could no longer regard Qi Yu as a guest advisor under Li Ming!

Qi Yu's threat level has surpassed that of Li Ming.
