Chapter 32 A Match Made In Heaven

Chapter 32: A Perfect Match

Three rounds of wine had been consumed.

Qin Yi's gaze towards Li Qinglin became increasingly complex.

More complex than before.

Initially, there was a sense of vigilance, because someone who could kill his own brother could naturally use him and then silence him. Qin Yi had always felt a thorn in his heart towards such a politician, making it difficult for him to get close to Li Qinglin.

But if Li Qinglin's words were sincere, Qin Yi actually found it admirable.

To admire someone who had killed his own brother... This made Qin Yi doubt whether his own values were somehow flawed. If he also considered Li Qingjun's feelings after learning the truth, it would become even more complicated.

Li Qinglin slowly sipped his wine and said, "I know that Brother Qin has been wary of me since meeting Ye Ling. I also know what you're thinking. Perhaps you're afraid that I will silence you afterwards, or even that I am a deranged person who would harm even Qingjun... But Brother Qin, you're overthinking it. If I wanted to silence someone, the first person I would kill would be Ye Ling, not you. Without Ye Ling, even if you spread the word everywhere, no one would believe you. Moreover, even if someone did believe, it would be meaningless. Even Donghua Zi's various attacks in court against me had no effect, let alone you?"

Qin Yi said, "Those in high positions don't need to consider the consequences of killing others. Some people, when they encounter a young man in the mountains during secret affairs, would kill without hesitation."

"Hmm?" Li Qinglin looked somewhat surprised. "Could it be... this is the source of Brother Qin's resentment towards Donghua Zi? His people killed your friend?"

"You could say that."

"Haha..." Li Qinglin sprayed out a mouthful of wine and burst into laughter. "This is what happens when you don't consider the consequences, making enemies for no reason. I'm afraid he doesn't even know what provoked him. Interesting, interesting."

After laughing for a while, Li Qinglin continued, "This is a living example. Brother Qin, there may not be no one behind you, and I won't provoke unnecessary trouble."

Qin Yi chuckled.

"The reason I talked so much with Brother Qin is because I believe that collaborators should not suspect each other. That can only lead to trouble. Our goals are the same, and I hope we can cooperate sincerely. So..." Li Qinglin looked at him with burning eyes. "Can Brother Qin trust me now?"

Qin Yi raised his cup in respect. "Why do you say that? You and I have long been friends."

Li Qinglin clinked his cup against Qin Yi's and smiled. "Indeed, we have long been friends."

They finished their drinks, and Li Qinglin let out a sigh, appearing somewhat relieved. "Based on my observations over the years, Donghua Zi and the Sanxian Che Chi in your story are quite similar. He definitely doesn't have any orthodox inheritance, just the Wild Fox Zen. Just like how the pill was obviously inappropriate, there are only two possibilities: either he intentionally harmed my father, or he himself doesn't understand and practiced incorrectly. There are many signs like this, and I tend to believe that he really doesn't understand."

Qin Yi nodded. "When I faced Donghua Zi today, I also felt that he didn't understand cultivation as much as I had imagined. He seems more like a politician than a cultivator. Even the sorcerers in the martial world should be adept at divination, but he doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable. Because someone who is truly confident would most likely argue with me confidently instead of playing political word games."

Li Qinglin laughed. "Since I met Brother Qin, I have always felt that what you have learned is obviously systematic and inherited, surpassing Donghua Zi. As long as you can make my father trust you, Donghua Zi will have no support."

This was why Li Qinglin attached great importance to Qin Yi. Qin Yi sighed inwardly, his fondness for Li Qinglin increasing. Because Li Qinglin had another way to deal with Donghua Zi, without the need for such complications.

That was to directly seize the throne.

The army was in Li Qinglin's hands, and he could easily do what Li Shimin had done, forcing his father to abdicate and cultivate. Once he sat on the throne, it would be a simple matter to drive away a national teacher.

But he didn't choose that path. Instead, he humbly sought the assistance of a diviner, intending to compete with Donghua Zi for his father's trust.

"I will do my best to persuade your father when I see him tomorrow," Qin Yi said.

Li Qinglin pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "This time, the battle in Mang, I'm afraid it has something to do with Donghua Zi. I even suspect that Donghua Zi was originally an insider sent by the Western Wilderness. So, Brother Qin, no matter what your feelings are towards Qingjun, please firmly maintain your relationship in front of my father. Don't give up."

"My feelings?" Qin Yi felt a bit embarrassed and wanted to drink to cover it up. But looking at Li Qinglin's gaze, he finally gritted his teeth and said directly, "You don't need to say this. How far away the battle in Mang is from me, I couldn't care less."

Li Qinglin clapped his hands and laughed, "So our cooperation is a match made in heaven."

...

Back in his guest room, Qin Yi couldn't sleep and leaned against the window, looking at the moon.

So much happened today, the first battle with Donghua Zi, a change in relationship with Li Qingjun, and a complete conversation with Li Qinglin. One by one, these things flashed through his mind, and even when he closed his eyes, their faces echoed repeatedly.

"Su Su, what do you think?" he suddenly asked.

Liu Su leisurely replied, "Li Qinglin is interesting. Such an interesting soul is rare in both the mortal and immortal realms. It's a pity that we don't share the same path and cannot conspire together."

"What about the others?"

"Li Qingjun is quite cute."

"..."

"As for the rest of them..." Liu Su sneered, "Mang Zhan is just a martial artist, not as good as Li Qinglin. Donghua Zi's cultivation is nothing in my eyes, just a mere Feng Chu seventh layer, like ants. To consider these two as formidable opponents is simply my shame. If you truly cultivate with me, there are ten thousand ways to prevent these people from reincarnating."

Feng Chu seventh layer.

In these past few days, Qin Yi had been cramming his knowledge of Daoist techniques, so he already had some understanding of these realms. Cultivating the mind and body, divided into five times and seven stages, the first stage is to eliminate chronic illnesses, feel light and clear-minded, the four elements in harmony, and the six emotions calm. This is the Feng Chu stage.

In other words, it's the Qi Refining stage... Qin Yi preferred to call it that, out of habit. And Liu Su never insisted on any specific realm names. In its eyes, how it was called was meaningless. You could call it the Fool's Realm if you wanted, it didn't matter.

The Qi Refining stage, seven layers, might truly be considered divine immortality for mortals, but for Liu Su, it was just the beginning, a novice who had just touched the threshold of cultivation, and moreover, a wild one. If we set aside some arcane arts that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, in terms of combat power alone, it's not necessarily able to defeat an experienced Innate Martial Artist like Li Qinglin.

Actually, Donghua Zi might not even be able to defeat Ye Ling... if Ye Ling isn't restrained.

So if Donghua Zi can really be driven off the stage, he would have a hard time escaping.

"Don't underestimate Donghua Zi too much," Qin Yi cautioned, "He has Ming He on his side, who knows what their relationship is."

"Ming He... that is indeed a bit troublesome," Liu Su said, "If Ming He really stands on Donghua Zi's side, both you and Li Qinglin can just wash up and go to sleep. Forget about being a match made in heaven, you would be more like a pair of doomed mandarin ducks."

Qin Yi ignored its sarcasm and asked, "Can you explain in detail what her divination means?"

"No."

"Huh?"

Liu Su sighed, "Do you really think I know everything? I've never learned divination. What I've taught you is just common knowledge. True divination is vast and profound, not something that can be easily explained. Even if Ming He herself, who cast this divination, might not truly understand the divination she cast."

"She can't understand it herself?"

"Of course not, otherwise, why didn't I learn it back then?" Liu Su said contemptuously, "Ignorant fools think they can comprehend the will of heaven, but the will of heaven is ever-changing, who can truly know it? In the end, they only deceive themselves and become a laughingstock. That divination, you'd better forget about it to avoid unnecessary trouble."

You say it's vast and profound, but then you say it's a laughingstock... I think it's because you couldn't learn it... Qin Yi silently mocked in his heart, but he felt a bit closer to Liu Su.

So it also has things it can't learn.
