Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 1804 - 1805: Heart Knot

Master Cang did not specify a specific time, so Ye Qiu did not need to prepare to leave in a hurry.

After leaving the auction house, Ye Qiu hadn’t walked far before someone called out to him.

"Brother Ye..."

Ye Qiu turned around and found the woman in front of him somewhat familiar. Seeing Ye Qiu’s daze, the woman approached and said, "Brother Ye, don’t you recognize me? I’m Lu Shan’s sister, Mu Qingping."

Mu Qingping?

Murmuring the name, Ye Qiu finally remembered and smiled, "Miss Mu."

"Brother Ye, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you again." Mu Qingping smiled.

"Indeed, isn’t Lu Shan with you?" Ye Qiu glanced around but did not see Lu Shan’s figure.

"She’ll be here soon, why don’t you wait a bit?" Mu Qingping knew Lu Shan was interested in Ye Qiu, and as a sister, she naturally wanted to create an opportunity for her.

"Alright." Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to leave, and staying to see Lu Shan wasn’t a problem.

Before long, Lu Shan appeared. Seeing Ye Qiu there, she showed a mix of surprise and joy.

Mu Qingping gave Lu Shan a meaningful look and then said she had something to attend to, leaving Lu Shan and Ye Qiu alone.

"Brother Ye, you must take good care of our Lu Shan."

Before leaving, Mu Qingping advised Ye Qiu, causing Lu Shan’s face to blush, the redness spreading to her ears.

After Mu Qingping left, Lu Shan knew it was her sister’s intention to let her be alone with Ye Qiu. Now only the two of them were left, and Lu Shan’s shyness made her speechless.

"Brother Ye..."

"Lu Shan..."

After a moment of silence, both spoke at the same time. Ye Qiu awkwardly said, "You go first."

"You go first." Lu Shan hurriedly replied.

Ye Qiu did not defer. He understood that Mu Qingping left him alone with Lu Shan, probably trying to set them up. Ye Qiu decided it was time to seriously clarify things with Lu Shan.

He didn’t want to get involved with women anymore.

"Lu Shan..." Ye Qiu adjusted his expression. Lu Shan looked at Ye Qiu, listening intently as Ye Qiu said, "Actually, I already have a Dao companion."

Lu Shan thought Ye Qiu might discuss something else with her, so this sudden statement left Lu Shan stunned on the spot.

"I don’t want you to misunderstand, nor do I want to hurt you, so I must tell you this fact. I hope you won’t get too deeply involved. I only see you as a sister," Ye Qiu said slowly.

"Sister?"

One mention of a Dao companion, another of seeing her as a sister—these were like two bolts of lightning falling from a clear sky for Lu Shan, leaving her at a loss.

"Let me escort you back." Ye Qiu saw Lu Shan standing there dazed, worrying it might be dangerous for her to return alone.

"No need, I can manage." Lu Shan refused. Since Ye Qiu had said such things, how could she let him escort her?

Lu Shan took a few deep breaths, trying hard to calm herself and slowly digest the truth. She forced a smile and said, "Brother Ye, really, there’s no need, I can handle it myself."

"Are you sure you’re okay?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Of course, but Brother Ye, you seem a bit narcissistic. I wasn’t interested in you at all; I also just see you as a brother. However, I’m glad you told me these things, so we won’t misunderstand each other." Lu Shan smiled, her face exceptionally bright.

"Then I was overthinking it." Ye Qiu awkwardly scratched his head, failing to catch Lu Shan’s true meaning. Being rejected is humiliating enough for a girl; saying such things now was just to ease Ye Qiu’s mind.

The two walked slowly for a while. Lu Shan, ready to return to her sect, gestured for Ye Qiu not to escort her.

"Oh, by the way, this is a newly refined Fragrance Spirit Pill, with a different scent than before. It’s for you." Ye Qiu handed over a pill box.

Lu Shan took it, thanked him with a smile, and left with a happy expression. She disappeared from Ye Qiu’s sight shortly after. Not long after walking far enough, Lu Shan stopped, her smile faded, tears glistening in her eyes.

She took out the Fragrance Spirit Pill, bringing it to her nose to smell it, finding the scent quite pleasing.

Looking at the Fragrance Spirit Pill, Lu Shan muttered to herself: "Your Dao companion must be beautiful, could it be Hua Wuhun?"

...

Clearing things up with Lu Shan also resolved a matter in Ye Qiu’s heart. Ever since all the women followed him into the ancient lands and perished, Ye Qiu resolved not to get involved with any more women, which is why he spoke to disillusion Lu Shan.

The women died because of him. Ye Qiu has always blamed himself for this; if he had not sent them into the ancient lands, they wouldn’t have died. This burden has always lingered deep in Ye Qiu’s heart, always making him feel immense guilt upon recollection. With this knot in his heart, how could he possibly get involved with other women?

"If not for me, they wouldn’t have died. I killed them; I can’t harm others again."

Ye Qiu couldn’t help but think of the women again: Shangguan Mingyue, Lin Qiao’er, Fang Sijie, and others, their smiling faces appearing in his mind.

After these memories, Ye Qiu’s desire for revenge became even stronger. He aimed to become a Martial Artist at the Guixu Realm so he would have the qualification for revenge and could truly match a Saint.

Although he could now battle a Saint and had even killed the Thousand Illusion Sage, Ye Qiu knew deep down that it was still far from enough. He was merely fortunate to have achieved this. That powerful Saint is much stronger than the Thousand Illusion Sage, and even bringing out the Gate of Six Paths might not be enough to vanquish him.

If he were to strike, he’d strive for a successful hit, or else once he failed, he might not have a second chance.

If the sects on the ancestral land realized Ye Qiu was still alive and had ventured onto their territory, wouldn’t they search the whole world for him?

Then it would be him against the entire world.

Not being on Earth, the main battlefield, would place him at a great disadvantage. Powerful beings at the heavens’ level could strike at will.

Ye Qiu seized the time to cultivate, turning the seed of revenge in his heart into immense motivation, constantly urging himself to enhance his cultivation.

Ye Qiu began to recall the scene from today when he discussed martial arts with Master Cang. Master Cang had given him considerable insight, especially regarding breaking through to the Guixu Realm.

"In Divinity Transformation, it’s about refining and strengthening the soul."

"To break through to the Guixu Realm, one could approach it from two aspects: first, by growing soul power to a significant extent and then striking against the confines."

"Though feasible, this method is rather clumsy. Given my current soul power, it’s already strong enough, so this method is worth a try."

Ye Qiu was more inclined towards the second method. Master Cang mentioned at the time that the breakthrough to the Guixu Realm could come via spirit and flesh fusion, but achieving this would not be easy.

How to fuse the soul with the body was also a problem, yet Master Cang left it unclear, telling Ye Qiu to comprehend it himself.

This research continued until dawn with still no leads.

In the early morning, Ye Qiu then heard Hua Wuji’s miserable cry, knowing only one person could make Hua Wuji produce such a sound.

Why is she here?

In Ye Qiu’s mind, a beautiful figure instantly emerged.
