Chapter 62: One in Each Hand
"I'm with Sister Wang." Ye Qingyi's voice was choked with sobs.
"You met Sister Wang before. She's a level 68 Battle Soul Emperor. We're on this trip to discuss an important medicinal herb deal, and we're passing by the outskirts of Sunset Forest on our way back..."
She took a deep breath, trying to calm her excitement, and continued, "Who would have thought... just now, we were suddenly ambushed and attacked by four men in black! The leader of them was a Soul Sage!
They cooperated well with each other and had a clear goal, they were coming for me!
Sister Wang…she risked her life to protect me and stopped that Soul Sage, giving me a chance to escape…that's why…that's why I was chased all the way here by the other three…"
Speaking of Sister Wang, Ye Qingyi couldn't help but shed tears, her voice filled with grief and self-blame:
"Sister Wang has been with me for over ten years, and we're like sisters... For me... I'm afraid she has..."
She couldn't continue, her body trembling slightly with sadness.
Xiao Yin could feel her violent emotional fluctuations, so he patted her back gently, and a gentle Spirit power passed over to stabilize her disordered breathing.
"Meeting you is a blessing in disguise... If you hadn't happened to be here, I would definitely..."
Ye Qingyi raised her tearful eyes and looked at Xiao Yin, her gratitude overflowing with words.
From despair to rescue, this huge turn of events made her gratitude to Xiao Yin reach its peak.
Xiao Yin frowned slightly: "One Soul Sage, three Soul Emperors, ambushing and attacking you, a Soul Emperor-level healing Spirit master?"
He supported Ye Qingyi and walked to the place where the three men in black were annihilated by the roar of the fire dragon.
Although most of the body had been vaporized, some fragments were still there.
Xiao Yin's eyes were sharp as he searched the charred ground carefully.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a small piece of metal fragment half-buried in the scorched earth.
He bent down and picked it up.
It was a palm-sized piece of black token fragment, made of a special material, cold to the touch, and with faint Spirit power fluctuations still remaining on it.
On the fragments, one could vaguely see some strange and bizarre pagoda patterns carved on them!
Xiao Yin's eyes instantly became deep.
"This…this is…?!"
This token...he recognized it!
During his four years of humble life in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he had occasionally seen some of the sect's core disciples in charge of "special affairs" wearing them a few times!
This is the identity mark of the Anbu of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Yin's mind, connecting the vague memories of his previous life and what he saw and heard in this life.
Why in the original novel, it seems that only Ye Lingling is left carrying the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit?
Where did her mother go?
Could it be... that she died in this ambush?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect...why did they want to kill Ye Qingyi?
Is it because the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit's healing ability is too incredible that it affects the sect's reputation and status as "the world's number one auxiliary"?
Or is it that beneath Ning Fengzhi's seemingly gentle and elegant mask, there is actually a side that tolerates no one else?
No...
Xiao Yin quickly denied the latter.
Although he extremely hated Ning Fengzhi's condescending indifference towards him, he had to admit that with Ning Fengzhi's status and position, he might play power games and weigh the pros and cons and sacrifice others, but this kind of assassination method that could easily backfire was not like Ning Fengzhi's style.
Too stupid, too easy to leave a handle, which doesn't fit the character of that old fox.
The more likely possibility is... someone inside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is acting on his own without telling Ning Fengzhi!
"This... is this the token of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?!"
Ye Qingyi also recognized the unique mark. The blood drained from her pale face and her beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Why? Why would they do this? Although my Ye family and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect don't have a close relationship, we have no grudges against each other and even cooperate in certain areas... Why would they do such a cruel thing?"
Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and she obviously couldn't accept this fact.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, one of the top three sects, would actually use such despicable means to deal with her, a healing Spirit master.
Xiao Yin put away the token fragments and said in a deep voice:
"Aunt Ye, please be patient. Although this token comes from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it may not represent the intentions of Ning Fengzhi himself."
He looked at Ye Qingyi with sharp eyes: "Ning Fengzhi, although hypocritical and annoying, always pursues a legitimate reason and weighs the pros and cons when doing things.
Such a direct and brutal assassination, if exposed, would be a devastating blow to the reputation of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
I am more inclined to believe that it was someone within the sect, or a certain faction, who acted secretly.
Perhaps... the Nine-Hearted Begonia has influenced some people?"
Ye Qingyi calmed down a little after hearing this, but her brows were still furrowed and her heart was full of doubts.
The infighting within a sect is sometimes more terrifying than external enemies.
"This matter is full of doubts, and there may be hidden secrets behind it."
Xiao Yin continued, "But this token is indeed an important clue. We shouldn't stay here for long. We made too much noise just now, and I'm afraid it will attract others."
He turned around and shouted towards the huge rock in the distance: "Jiang Zhu, come out, it's okay."
Only then did Jiang Zhu carefully poke her head out from behind the boulder and saw that the battle was indeed over. Only Xiao Yin and a beautiful injured lady were left. She hurried out with a look of tension still on her face.
"Senior, are you okay?" She first looked at Xiao Yin with concern, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was unharmed.
Xiao Yin briefly introduced: "This is the head of the Ye family in Heaven Dou City, Madam Ye Qingyi, and the current owner of the Nine-Hearted Begonia Spirit."
"Nine-Hearted Begonia?!"
Jiang Zhu's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at Ye Qingyi with excitement.
"You...you are the Ye family master? Oh my god! My Spirit is the healing scepter, and I have always targeted you and the Nine-Hearted Begonia! I didn't expect to see you here!"
As a fellow healing Spirit master, the Nine-Hearted Begonia is like a belief to her.
Ye Qingyi looked at the clear-eyed girl in front of her, and especially felt the pure healing Spirit power fluctuations from her body. A gentle smile barely appeared on her pale face:
"Thank you, little girl. I'm sorry for scaring you just now."
"No, no!"
Jiang Zhu waved her hands quickly. Seeing the injuries on Ye Qingyi's body, she immediately raised the healing scepter and said, "Master Ye, you are seriously injured. Let me help you heal!"
The soft healing light fell on Ye Qingyi. Although the effect was far inferior to that of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, it also made Ye Qingyi feel a lot more relaxed.
"Thank you."
Ye Qingyi smiled gratefully, then turned her gaze to Xiao Yin with pleading eyes.
"Xiao Yin, I want to go back and take a look. Sister Wang... no matter if she's dead or alive, I can't abandon her..."
Xiao Yin looked at the determination in Ye Qingyi's eyes and nodded.
"I understand. In that case, let's go there immediately without further delay."
He looked at the two women and said directly, "You are too slow. I will take you there."
After saying that, without waiting for the two women to react, Xiao Yin stretched out his hands very naturally, one hand around Ye Qingyi's soft and slightly cold waist, and the other hand around Jiang Zhu's slender and youthful and elastic waist.
"Ah!"
The two women screamed at the same time, their cheeks instantly flushed.
