Second Week, I’m Really Not A Villain

Chapter 42: Heavenly Evolution Art Obtained

Seeing her useless younger brother hesitate and stutter, Qin Qingyue became even more convinced that Qin Luo was eager to advance his cultivation because of Liu Chengyin. He couldn't even be satisfied with breaking through a small realm in a day.

After all, the reason Qin Luo awakened his motivation to cultivate was all because of Liu Chengyin's temptation.

Thinking of this, the feeling of disappointment that had overwhelmed Qin Qingyue in the Golden Sales Cave surged up in her heart again, and she extinguished the flickering electric light on her fingertips.

Having tempered his physical body for three days and given him a book on Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, it was enough to offset the brother-sister relationship between the two. Even if this idiot were to stand on the side of Sunset Cloud Valley in the future, become enemies with her, or even turn against her with a sword, she would still have no regrets.

Qin Qingyue turned around, about to fly away--

"I want... to protect you all."

Qin Luo spoke up, completing the words he had hesitated to say.

Qin Qingyue's figure, about to soar into the air, froze for a moment, suspecting that she was hearing things, and her eyebrows furrowed as she turned her head.

"What did you say?"

Qin Luo continued on his own, "Seventy days later, the sects of the world will unite to fight against Qin Wude. Although you and Qin Wude are powerful, how could you possibly be opponents of so many sects? Moreover, they have the support of the people, so in the end, you and Qin Wude will definitely be killed by others."

Qin Qingyue fell silent.

Qin Luo continued, "If I have invincible cultivation, I can save you and Qin Wude when you're about to be killed, and then, like that day when Qin Wude wanted to send me out of Fengtian City, I can send the two of you to a secluded place, allowing you to live on."

A mocking smile curved on Qin Qingyue's lips. "Just save us, not help us, right?"

Qin Luo looked at her as if she were a fool. "You and Qin Wude are plotting to seize power and cause chaos in the world. How could I, someone so upright and honest, possibly join forces with you? At most, I'll just save the two of you."

The cold smile on Qin Qingyue's lips became more pronounced. "Since you're so upright and honest, why not just abandon the darkness and join the light, and kill me and my father? Wouldn't that be better?"

"That's not possible."

Qin Luo shook his head decisively. "Even if you and Qin Wude become so evil that everyone in the world wants to kill you, I'm the only one who can't kill you."

This is a very simple reason. Dong Zhuo can be killed by anyone, but not Lu Bu.

Qin Qingyue understood the meaning behind Qin Luo's words. Because she understood, the disdainful expression on her face gradually intensified.

"Not only can I not kill you, but if anyone wants to kill you in front of me, they must step on my corpse."

"..."

This sentence was like a sudden sharp knife, accompanied by Qin Luo's unwavering tone, piercing straight into Qin Qingyue's heart, causing her gaze to tremble slightly, and the disdainful expression on her face froze.

"So, Qin Qingyue, do you have a way to quickly improve your cultivation or not?"

Qin Luo brought the topic back on track, asking urgently.

"If you do, teach me. Although I will definitely surpass you once my cultivation improves, at the very least, I will protect you from being surpassed by others. The only person who can surpass you is me."

Qin Qingyue stared meaningfully at Qin Luo for a long time, as if trying to see through the true thoughts in this useless younger brother's heart.

In the end, she didn't know if she saw through him or not, as she soared into the air and quickly disappeared into the sky.

"Hey! Qin Qingyue, are you just going to leave like this? You haven't given me electric therapy tonight!"

Qin Luo shouted at her graceful figure, but Qin Qingyue ignored him as if she hadn't heard a thing.

"Will Sister Yue be annoyed by what I just said? She won't even let me temper my physical body?"

Qin Luo waited in the courtyard for a long time, but there was no sign of the noble Sister Yue returning. He could only return to the chamber to cultivate.

As soon as he stepped into the ninth level of Qi Refining, Qin Luo clearly felt that the difficulty of advancement had increased. After a whole night of practicing the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Method, he didn't even touch the threshold of the tenth level of Qi Refining. It was estimated that he would need to cultivate for at least two more days to break through again.

"Now there are only sixty-nine days left. The speed of breakthrough is getting slower and slower. If I can't reach the full level after sixty-nine days, I will just be cannon fodder, waiting to die with Qin Qingyue and Qin Wude..."

Qin Luo looked at the rising sun outside the window, feeling melancholy.

"If I could get a copy of the Heavenly Evolution Art, that would be great. The Heavenly Evolution Art is the most profound. If I could practice it together with the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Method, it would definitely speed up my breakthrough."

Qin Luo once again had the idea of obtaining the Heavenly Evolution Art, but it was just wishful thinking.

The Heavenly Evolution Art was such a precious treasure that even Qin Wude couldn't collect it, let alone him.

In Fengtian City, there were two copies of the Heavenly Evolution Art that were known. One was in the hands of the current national teacher, and the other was in the hands of the young emperor. Both of them held positions of great honor, and Qin Luo couldn't even see them.

Lost in thought, Qin Luo forced himself to regain his spirits and was about to continue immersing himself in cultivation when a knock on the door suddenly came from outside.

"Young master, please accompany this old servant to the palace."

Fulin's voice was originally very gentle, but at this moment, it seemed a bit unsettled.

Qin Luo frowned unhappily, "Didn't Qin Wude want to imprison me? Why are you asking me to go to the palace?"

Fulin tried his best to maintain a calm tone, "Go to the palace... to cultivate the Heavenly Evolution Art."

Qin Luo immediately refused, "What Heavenly Evolution Art? This young master is not inter-- Wait! Did you say Heavenly Evolution Art?!"

He suddenly reacted and his mind shook.

I was still fantasizing about practicing the Heavenly Evolution Art, and you brought the Heavenly Evolution Art to me? Are you some kind of villainous immortal father???

"Yes," Fulin explained, "The national teacher owed Miss Qingyue a favor, and Miss Qingyue used that favor to have the national teacher teach the young master the Heavenly Evolution Art she possessed."

It's not Qin Wude, it's Qin Qingyue?

Qin Luo was stunned, remembering that last night he had asked Qin Qingyue for advice on how to quickly improve his cultivation, but she had left without saying a word, flying away into the distance.

"So, Qin Qingyue went to get the Heavenly Evolution Art for me..."

"She really is my good sister..."

Qin Luo's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and a warm current surged from his chest.

"Please, young master, come with this old servant to the palace now. Don't keep the national teacher waiting for too long," Fulin urged.

The palace, being such a sacred place, naturally couldn't be flown over.

After a while, Qin Luo sat in a luxurious carriage, with Fulin driving the horse outside. The two of them passed through the bustling streets and headed towards the palace.

About to come into contact with the legendary Heavenly Evolution Art, it was impossible for Qin Luo not to be excited. He pretended to be calm and asked Fulin, who was driving outside, "Fubu, what favor does Xiao Meiying owe Qin Qingyue that she would use the Heavenly Evolution Art to repay it?"

"I don't know," Fulin shook his head, "Young master might as well ask Miss Qingyue herself later."

Compared to the favor Xiao Meiying owed Qin Qingyue, Fulin was actually more curious about what Qin Luo had done to Qin Qingyue that made such a noble and cold girl speak up for him.
