Wandering Sword Seller's Life in the Qin Dynasty

She hadn't expected Xu Qing to recognize this move, nor had she expected his strength to be so terrifying. She had sneaked into Hou Sheng's residence tonight to find her younger sister. Since her sister had infiltrated the residence, she hadn't received any news, and she was so worried that she had risked coming here.

But as soon as she reached the outside of Xu Qing's room, before she could even check on her sister, Xu Qing discovered her presence. Now she had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action.

"This is the Prime Minister's residence of the State of Qi, heavily guarded. Do you think you can escape?" Xu Qing looked at Xiao Hei, his tone tinged with mockery.

Although Xiao Hei is quite strong, in this guarded Prime Minister's mansion, once surrounded, even if she knows the Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow, she would be no match for the powerful bow and crossbow.

Xiao Hei didn't speak, but the killing intent in his eyes intensified.

She was well aware of her situation, and her only thought at the moment was to leave this place as soon as possible and find a way to save her sister later.

Before she could turn around, Xu Qing's voice rang out again: "Since you're already here, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Your sister has been missing you a lot lately, so you should at least go and see her."

Xiao Hei paused, but didn't turn around. Instead, it sped up, trying to escape towards the wall.

Just then, Xu Qing suddenly raised his hand, and the air wall around him instantly extended out, causing the fallen leaves to re-condense into green ropes, which wrapped around Xiao Hei's hands and feet with lightning speed.

"Ugh!" Xiao Hei exclaimed, trying to use her inner strength to break free, but the rope only tightened, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge it an inch.

The next second, a huge pulling force came, and her body was forcibly pulled in front of Xu Qing.

"So, you're deaf too?" Xu Qing looked at Xiao Hei, who was bound in front of him, and his tone turned serious.

He recalled that he had questioned Xiaobai in the same way when she was disobedient before, but he never expected that he would say the same thing to Xiaohei now.

Xiao Hei struggled fiercely, its eyes filled with resentment, yet it remained silent.

She could sense that Xu Qing's internal strength far surpassed her own, and knew that she had no chance of resisting. However, her inherent pride would not allow her to bow down to the man who had insulted her sister.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Xu Qing lost his patience. With a flick of his wrist, he instantly struck Xiao Hei's pressure point, causing Xiao Hei's body to go limp and lose all strength.

Xu Qing bent down, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and turned to walk towards the storage room not far away. He didn't want to "interrogate" her in his own room, lest Xiao Bai see it and cause some trouble.

The storage room was filled with old tables and chairs, and the air was thick with dust and musty smells. Xu Qing put Xiao Hei on the ground and, without saying a word, began to cast an illusion.

Having gained considerable experience from dealing with Xiaobai before, Xu Qing was quite adept at facing Xiaohei this time.

Although she is the older sister, Xiao Hei's strength is not necessarily much stronger than her younger sister's.

The reason why the two of them were able to become Shao Siming is mainly because they are twin sisters. As twins, they have a tacit understanding that ordinary people do not have. They can cooperate with each other, and when the two of them join forces, they can unleash a power that is far greater than the sum of its parts.

Naturally, with such strength, it was impossible to resist Xu Qing's illusion.

As the halo merged into her brow, Xiao Hei's eyes instantly became empty. Xu Qing's consciousness invaded her sea of ​​consciousness through the illusion, and those memories belonging to Shao Siming Hei surged in like a tide.

He could see clearly that Xiao Hei's memories were mostly of Xiao Bai. When they were young, she had fought against her senior brother from the Yin Yang School to protect Xiao Bai; in order to help Xiao Bai gain a foothold in the Yin Yang School, she took on the most dangerous missions; and this time, when Xiao Bai went missing, she even risked her life to sneak into the Prime Minister's residence...

"Such deep sisterly affection," Xu Qing sighed softly.

He recalled that when he read Xiaobai's memories before, Xiaobai cared most about Xiaohei. Now it seems that the two sisters are truly devoted to each other.

However, this bond became the most fatal flaw in such a cruel place as the Yin-Yang School. Donghuang Taiyi wanted to take advantage of their tacit understanding, but he was also wary of their feelings, fearing that if one of them betrayed him, the other would also turn against him.

That's why there are restrictions to seal emotions.

Well, this is Xu Qing's further association, and it's still not guaranteed to be true.

Just as Xu Qing was delving into the memories, a strong light suddenly burst forth from Xiao Hei's sea of ​​consciousness. It was the restriction set up by Donghuang Taiyi. However, Xu Qing was experienced and had no pressure dealing with this kind of restriction. With a thought, a powerful spiritual force broke through the restriction in an instant, and the sealed memories were finally presented in their entirety before his eyes.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing withdrew his hand. Xiao Hei's eyes gradually regained their clarity, but he still lay on the ground, completely powerless.

He bent down, picked up Xiao Hei, and turned to walk towards his room. Xiao Bai was still waiting; he had to give her a "surprise."

"Sister?" Xiaobai was getting restless waiting in the room. When she heard the door open, she immediately looked up.

When she saw the person Xu Qing was carrying on his shoulder, her expression changed instantly, and she cried out in surprise as she rushed over.

She supported Xiao Hei's limp body, her fingertips trembling as she checked her sister's pulse. Only after confirming that her sister had only been acupunctured did she breathe a sigh of relief. However, her eyes held a pleading look as she looked at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing tossed Xiao Hei to the ground and calmly instructed, "She's yours now. Keep a close eye on her and don't let her run away."

After saying that, he went straight to the bedside, lay down, closed his eyes, and prepared to rest.

He wasn't worried at all that Xiaobai would help Xiaohei escape. He knew better than anyone how heavily guarded Housheng Mansion was. Even if Xiaohei hadn't been acupunctured, he might not have been able to escape.

Xiao Bai squatted on the ground, looking at her unconscious sister with a complicated expression.

She wanted to save her sister, but she knew her own abilities better than anyone else. She was no match for Xu Qing, and even if she escaped with her sister, she would only suffer a worse fate.

In the end, she could only sigh softly, reach out and help Xiao Hei to the corner of the wall, find one of her own clothes to wrap around her sister's body, and quietly stay by her side.

After an unknown amount of time, Xu Qing slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw two figures standing by the bed, staring intently at him. The two identical faces were particularly conspicuous in the light. Xu Qing subconsciously rubbed his eyes, thinking he was seeing things, before realizing that they were Xiaobai and Xiaohei, who had already woken up.

"Aren't you going to sleep?" He sat up, his tone languid from just waking up, his gaze sweeping over the two sisters' faces.

Before they could answer, he added with a smile, "I almost forgot, you sisters have just reunited, so you probably aren't in the mood for sleep."

Xiao Hei looked at Xu Qing with wary eyes, but still spoke first: "What exactly do you want to do?"

After waking up last night, she intended to take the opportunity to ambush Xu Qing, but found herself powerless and could only let Xiao Bai support her.

Later, Xiaobai told her everything that had happened during this period, including Xu Qing's strength and his knowledge of Yin-Yang techniques. But the more she learned, the more confused she became about what Xu Qing wanted to get from the sisters.

“Compared to your sister, you are a bit smarter, knowing why you asked me.” Xu Qing did not answer directly, but instead leaned against the headboard, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and spoke with a hint of approval.

He looked at Xiao Hei, his eyes suddenly sharpening, and said, word by word, "What if I said I wanted to overthrow the Yin Yang School?"

Xiao Hei's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.

In recent years, under the leadership of its master, Donghuang Taiyi, the Yin-Yang School has flourished and grown increasingly powerful.

In their minds, His Majesty the Eastern Emperor was like a god incarnate, possessing immense power.

Not to mention, besides His Majesty the Eastern Emperor, there are also masters such as the Eastern Lord and the Moon Goddess.

This person actually wanted to overthrow the Yin Yang School?

“Donghuang Taiyi is the only one who is supreme in the Yin-Yang School, and there are quite a few who are dissatisfied with him,” Xu Qing continued, his tone somewhat seductive. “Even some of the Yin-Yang School elders who are detached from the outside world cannot stand his behavior, and I am the spokesperson for those people.”

He paused, his gaze falling on the two sisters, his tone becoming serious: "You two are the Lesser Masters of the Yin-Yang School, and the previous Lord of the Clouds was also an elder of the Yin-Yang School. If you had appeared elsewhere, it would have been fine, but you happened to appear on my territory. Tell me, how can I turn a blind eye and let you go like that?"

Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

They never imagined that Xu Qing's target was the entire Yin Yang School, and that they were merely pawns in this game.

Chapter 184 Sisterly Love, Xu Fu's Struggle for Survival

Xu Qing's words were, of course, made up on the spot.

Although he had some connection with the Yin-Yang School and had learned a lot about it from Chu Nan Gong, Xu Qing had no interest in joining the Yin-Yang School and naturally had no intention of getting entangled with it further.

The Yin-Yang School walks its narrow path, while Xu Qing walks his own broad road. The two keep to themselves and don't interfere with each other. Even if Xu Qing doesn't particularly like the Yin-Yang School, he won't provoke them without reason.

The reason for this entanglement with the Yin-Yang School is simply because Xu Fu appeared in Linzi and attempted to deceive Hou Sheng and the King of Qi. As Hou Sheng's retainer, Xu Qing naturally could not tolerate such behavior.

However, he did not expect that the Yin-Yang School would be so troublesome.

After one was defeated, more Yin-Yang School practitioners followed.

Therefore, when faced with the Yin-Yang School members who followed, he naturally had to find a suitable reason to justify his actions.

After he said these words to Shao Siming Hei, even when Donghuang Taiyi came to him in person, he gave the same reason: it was an internal strife within the Yin Yang School.

If you are unhappy with his actions regarding Yun Zhongjun of the Yin Yang School.

Go talk to those old masters of Yin-Yang!

As for whether the Yin-Yang School has any senior figures who live outside the school, of course they do.

Chu Nan Gong was one of them.

Shao Siminghei, of course, had no idea that the whole thing started because Xu Qing disliked Yun Zhongjun.

She and her sister actually believed Xu Qing's story.

As elders of the Yin-Yang School, they naturally knew that outside of the Yin-Yang School headquarters, there were many other people associated with the Yin-Yang School.

Just think of Taoism, a school that emphasizes tranquility and non-action. Five hundred years ago, its Yin-Yang ancestors broke away and established themselves, and three hundred years ago, it split into the Heaven and Human Schools.

Not to mention the Yin-Yang School, which has always used the method of raising Gu to train its disciples. The internal struggles are more intense than any other sect, and there are countless defectors. Most of the defectors are executed quietly, but no one can guarantee that there are no ones who have escaped.

Those masters with extraordinary skills secretly cultivate Yin-Yang techniques and train successors, waiting for the day when they can overthrow the Yin-Yang School.

Thinking of this, Shao Siming unconsciously clenched her sleeves, her palms sweating, and a trace of worry entwined around her heart like vines.

The man before her was unfathomably powerful. Yun Zhongjun had fallen, and she and her sister had also been defeated by him one after another. Now he was hiding in the Prime Minister's residence in Qi, with Hou Sheng's power as his backing. Could there be other forces hiding behind him? The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. She wished she could return to the Yin Yang Clan immediately and report these matters to His Excellency Donghuang so that the sect could take precautions as soon as possible.

But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her feel icy cold all over.

She looked up abruptly, meeting Xu Qing's deep eyes. His gaze was like an ice-cold knife, fixed directly on her with undisguised scrutiny.

“Sometimes, knowing too much isn’t a good thing.” Xu Qing’s voice was soft, yet it struck Shao Siming’s heart like a hammer blow. “Now that you know my purpose, tell me, what should I do with you?”

Xiao Hei's heart skipped a beat, and his face instantly turned pale.

She heard clearly that Xu Qing said "you".

These two words pierced her heart like needles, meaning that her younger sister, Xiaobai, had also been drawn into the situation.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret, regretting that she shouldn't have asked that question. If she hadn't asked that question, would she not have known the identity of the person in front of her, wouldn't have been dragged into this mess, and would her sister have been safe and sound?

"Let my sister go, and I'll do anything you ask!" Just then, Xiaobai suddenly stepped forward and stood in front of Xiaohei.

She looked up at Xu Qing with a determined gaze and a hint of urgency in her voice.

The two sisters have always been of one mind. As soon as Xiao Hei sensed the threat, Xiao Bai immediately reacted.

These days, Xiaobai has been serving as Xu Qing's maid, and has gradually become accustomed to this role. She privately feels that she has some weight in Xu Qing's eyes, after all, they spend every day together, and even if there is no affection, there should still be some respect between them.

But to her surprise, Xu Qing's icy voice came through the door as soon as she finished speaking.

"who do you think You Are?"

Why should I agree to your request?

"Although you are very beautiful, don't get your hopes up too high!"

Xiao Bai's words suddenly caught in her throat, her cheeks flushed red instantly, and she wanted to argue further, but found that her throat was blocked and she couldn't utter a single word.

She lowered her head, her long eyelashes concealing the disappointment in her eyes, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

Xu Qing's gaze passed over Xiao Bai and landed on Xiao Hei.

Although the two sisters look exactly alike, Xu Qing can still easily tell them apart. Xiao Hei has a cold temperament and wears the dark robe of an elder of the Yin Yang family. He still has the power of the restriction he previously placed on his body. Xiao Bai, on the other hand, has a gentler temperament and wears the light-colored clothes of a maid. Her power is more docile.
