Supernatural Insight Eyes

Wan’er disappeared, and it was a very abrupt disappearance. For several days in a row, she failed to appear to play the zither for everyone.

Later on, someone discovered that the courtyard where Wan’er lived was empty and bore traces of a struggle. Some speculated that Miss Wan’er might have met with misfortune.

Even Luo Yao was alerted by this matter. As she had a good relationship with Wan’er, she specifically sent people to investigate.

Unfortunately, the final conclusion was that the person who made a move might have been a Saint, because there was residual Saint energy left behind.

This result left many people stunned; why would a Saint attack Wan’er? No one could understand.

With a Saint involved, this was not something ordinary people could interfere in lightly.

Tang Surou changed her clothes, her face slightly flushed, probably due to having just taken a bath.

After rescuing Tang Surou from the cellar, Ye Qiu quietly led her away without attracting anyone’s attention.

Staying in the cellar, Tang Surou was very dirty. When she saw Ye Qiu suddenly appear, she couldn’t believe it and didn’t want Ye Qiu to see her in such a miserable state.

Ye Qiu didn’t mind and carried her out without further ado, then found an inn and asked for four or five tubs of hot water for her to use.

Having been trapped in the cellar for some time, Tang Surou’s face was a bit pale, her condition not too good, surely having suffered quite a bit from Wan’er’s torments in the cellar.

"Thank you for rescuing me." Tang Surou said.

"If anyone should be thanking someone, it’s I who should thank you for giving me the Crystal Stone then. If not for you, I would have died that day." Ye Qiu replied.

"Oh, right, that woman is dead. Sorry, I couldn’t let you take revenge personally."

"Is she dead?" Tang Surou was slightly dazed but quickly smiled again: "Thank you for helping me kill her."

Ye Qiu shrugged. Perhaps it was because they hadn’t been together for a long time that there was some unfamiliarity between the two.

They were silent for a while, and then Tang Surou spoke about her own experiences, from waking up in the ancestral land to first meeting Wan’er, being Soul Searched by her, and then trapped in the cellar.

Ye Qiu didn’t interrupt, listening intently. To speak of it, part of Tang Surou’s suffering was due to him, Ye Qiu.

"I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t have known you appeared in the ancestral land." Tang Surou felt very guilty about the information Wan’er got about Ye Qiu from her.

"It’s not your fault. You didn’t tell her, just that you encountered a deceitful woman." Ye Qiu comforted her.

Having finished her story, Tang Surou glanced at Ye Qiu and asked out of curiosity: "You weren’t on that large flying vessel then, so how did you end up in this world?"

Concerning that, Ye Qiu briefly explained.

After a long while, Tang Surou finally understood and said: "Where do you plan to go next?"

Actually, Tang Surou felt quite lost too, knowing nothing about this world. Her father, the elders, and even her personal maid were all dead, only she remained alive.

She didn’t know what she ought to be doing.

"You should live better, live for Uncle Tang, for Elder Tang Li, for Huan’er. They sacrificed themselves for you, and you shouldn’t just give up. Think of Uncle Tang’s expectations for you, and perhaps you’ll find your goal." Ye Qiu said.

Tang Surou was moved by Ye Qiu’s words and remembered many people. Her gaze gradually brightened: "Father wanted me to become a Martial Artist. I mustn’t disappoint him. I still have martial arts, I still have..." Tang Surou looked gratefully at Ye Qiu, the ’you’ that followed those words left unsaid.

Tang Surou was not a weak woman; as a female Martial Artist, she had her strong side, something Ye Qiu greatly admired.

She would not be immersed in sadness forever.

Ye Qiu explained the current situation to Tang Surou. In her current state, if she went out, she would surely be mistaken for Wan’er, so this place wasn’t suitable for her to stay.

For safety reasons, Ye Qiu decided to send Tang Surou to Qingfeng County, his stronghold, where Shangguan Mingyue also resided, providing a very safe environment. They could also look out for each other.

Upon hearing this idea, Tang Surou did not refuse. She knew it was for her own good. Immediately, Ye Qiu disguised Tang Surou and then took her to the teleportation array, transporting her directly to Luohé City. Then, with Ye Qiu’s token, she could find Zhang Shanfeng and proceed to Qingfeng County without any issues.

After spending a considerable fee, Tang Surou stepped onto the teleportation array heading towards Luohé City.

Once Tang Surou was sent off, Ye Qiu felt relieved. Having found Shangguan Mingyue, Zhang Shanfeng, Jin Zhimo, and Tang Surou one after another, Ye Qiu believed others were likely also in the ancestral land.

Meanwhile, Tang Surou’s ordeal served as a wake-up call for Ye Qiu. He should locate others sooner, making them all safer together.

If others had encounters similar to Tang Surou, then Ye Qiu would be in considerable danger.

Even if those people wouldn’t betray him, it wouldn’t prevent others from performing Soul Search on them—just a bit of imagination, and one could infer that Ye Fentian was Ye Qiu.

Moreover, Ye Qiu wasn’t sure whether Wan’er had told others about his identity. Now that Wan’er was dead, whether someone would come looking for him was also a concern.

In addition, the Supreme Saint wanted to search his soul, making Ye Qiu realize that his adversaries were indeed numerous.

"No matter, I’ll just take what comes." Ye Qiu took a deep breath. Worrying wouldn’t help now. He could only hope things wouldn’t turn out for the worst.

That way, he’d have time to grow. As long as Ye Qiu could enter the Saint Realm, he believed that when facing heavenly powerhouses, he could survive. Then he’d fear no one, not even the Taiyi Sect or the Demon God Sect, and he’d dare confront them.

Ye Qiu was very clear about his path. Suddenly finding Tang Surou was a stroke of unexpected fortune; Wan’er intended to deal with him but ended up being killed by him, which led to saving Tang Surou.

Next, Ye Qiu planned to undertake another matter.

If it weren’t for Zhou Quan impersonating him, he’d have done it long ago.

Since leaving the Pill Tower, Ye Qiu has intended to visit the Heavenly Palace, partly to learn about the situation of the Duqu family who was imprisoned, and also because of what Jin Zhimo mentioned regarding Wu Yang Venerable and Boss Yun, who seemed to be associates of the Heavenly Palace.

Ye Qiu always felt grateful towards Wu Yang Venerable and Boss Yun, but if they were actually people of the Heavenly Palace, they might, in the future, stand against him. This was something Ye Qiu did not wish to see, so he wanted to personally investigate.

Even hoping to meet with Venerable Yang and Boss Yun.

"I hope things aren’t as bad as I imagine." Ye Qiu murmured to himself.
