The Charm of Soul Pets - Chapter 1224

Chapter 1224: 1224

During her two days of rest, Ye Qingzi discovered that the xuan atmosphere was extremely thick . Even a soul pet with normal aptitude wouldn’t weaken after staying a long time here .

Yu Suo also enjoyed this place . The most important reason was because she could absorb the good type energy here .

This divine and sanctified place was the embodiment of good . Yu Suo wanted one to two years to fully remove the old sec master’s cure because she planned on cultivating here for that long and raise her own phase and stage .  

After resting for about two days, Xiao Chan suddenly hastily ran in, requesting Ye Qingzi to come .  

When Ye Qingzi and Yu Suo reached the recuperating soul palace, Xiao Xueang stood there . Just like when Ye Qingzi had first seen him, he was expressionless but seemed slightly more depressed .  

Ye Qingzi was confused . The old man’s condition should have taken a turn for the better . It shouldn’t be like this .  

Besides Xiao Xueang, there were three golden armored guards standing next to the old man’s bed with solemn and cold expressions . When Ye Qignzi walked in, they all looked at her with coldness .

“What’s the matter?” Ye Qingzi asked .  

“His conditions has worsened . ” Xiao Xueang creased his brows .  

Ye Qingzi was stunned and quickly walked up to the old man, planning on using soul remembrance to search .  

However, the six golden guards simultaneously used soul remembrance to suppress Ye Qingzi, preventing her from using soul remembrance to search .  

Ye Qingzi recalled her soul remembrance and looked confusedly at Xiao Xueang, Lu Yuqina nd Gate Master Han .  

Xiao Xueang waved his hands, indicating that the golden guards should retreat . He remained courteous and said: “Young Lady Ye, please take a look . ”

Ye Qingzi realized something wasn’t right, but still used her soul remembrance to check .  

The moment she checked the old man’s soul, she furrowed her brows and examined everyone around her .  

“After me, was there anyone else who treated the old man?” asked Ye Qingzi .  

Xiao Xueang shook his head . Lu Yuqin shook her head as well . Gate Master Han hesitated, but ultimately shook his head too .  

“The old man’s condition worsened…” Gate Master Han reminded Ye Qingzi .  

Ye Qingzi felt everyone’s suspicious gaze and felt uncomfortable . She said: “After me there was definitely someone who used a curse on the old man; otherwise, it is impossible for this to happen . ” 

“But after you, there was no one who treated the old sect master . ” Gate Master Han felt a bit guilty, but still spoke righteously .  

Gate Master Han had a reason for doing so .  

On that day when Lu Fengnan had done something to the old man, Gate Master Han who was guarding outside kept feeling that something wasn’t right . Thus, he secretly broke open the barrier in an attempt to see what Lu Fengnan was doing .  

He discovered that Lu Fengnan was visibly using a technique similar to a poisonous curse . This had greatly frightened Gate Master Han who immediately wanted to arrest him .

Lu Fengnan knew that in order for his lie to work, he had to have Gate Master Han’s cooperation so told him about his plan .  

Lu Fengnan couldn’t stop half way so he dragged Gate Master Han with him, telling him that he already performed the curse . If something happened to the old man, Gate Master Han wouldn’t be able to absolve himself of implication .  

Moreover, Lu Fengnan knew that if the old sect master were to survive, Gate Master Han would be promoted .  

“Gate Master Han, I accidentally came to know from others that the reason the old sect master was ambushed by Darkness Sect has a lot to do with you…” 

Lu Fengnan’s words had since lingered in Gate Master Han’s ears . In an attempt to prevent himself from losing his reputation and to protect himself, Gate Master Han made a choice .  

    ……

Ye Qingzi knew for certain that someone had done something here . This person likely had authority in Divine Sect that was capable of hiding the truth of poisoning .  

Ye Qingzi was very meticulous herself, and knew that trying to figure out whether someone after her had done something to the old man was of no use . This was not her territory and she wouldn’t be able to find out .  

“There are a few xuan methods that can extract a person’s soul and temporarily cause a person’s life force to take a turn for the better . However, this situation will only last for a week . After a week, the life force will reach its end…” the leader of the golden guards said with a suspicious face .  

“Yes, Lu Fengnan also spoke of this xuan method . ” said Gate Master Han, very timely .  

Ye Qingzi’s expression sank .  

Obviously, someone wanted to frame her . Ye Qingzi could pretty much determine who was doing this .  

Ye Qingzi ignored the questioning of those two people . She turned to Magistrate Xiao and said:

“Magistrate Xiao, only a week remains for the old man’s life force . ”

Xiao Xuehan’s expression didn’t change as he nodded his head .  

“Let’s assume I had the intentions of poisoning the old man . This may be a bit unpleasant to hear, but the truth is it wouldn’t matter if I tried to save him or not since the old man is very difficult to save anyways . There would be no need for me to come here at all . ” despite everyone’s suspicion of her, Ye Qingzi felt disdain towards this .  

“Perhaps you intentionally infiltrated our Divine Sect in an attempt to gain our trust…” said the leader of the golden guards .  

Ye Qingzi threw a glance at this man and determined that this guard was a problem .  

She ignored him, turning to Xiao Xuehan and asking: “Then in your opinion, do you agree with what they’re saying?” 

Xiao Xueang shook his head and said: “I trust Young Lady Ye . ” 

Ye Qingzi nodded her head . If Xiao Xueang had the same view as others, Ye Qingzi would just ignore this matter . The old man’s life or death had nothing to do with her and there was no need to be schemed against by others .  

“I will continue to save the old man . I hope you all understand that this is the second time I will be saving the old man’s life . Because the second curse, if I’m correct, came from the hands of an excellent xuan teacher, could Magistrate Xiao please appoint a few trustworthy people to guard the old man?” Ye Qingzi word a trace of cold anger as she spoke .  

Since Magistrate Xiao chose to believe Ye Qingzi, he naturally agreed to her saving him and ordered everyone to leave .  

    ……

Ye Qingzi and Yu Suo remained in the room . Ye Qingzi’s heart still carried a trace of anger .  

This was the first time she had come to Divine Sect, yet she had nearly been set up by some bastard . The feeling of being questioned by others was very uncomfortable .  

“Hmph, I can’t believe there’s someone who tried to scheme against me!” Yu Suo was the first to speak with a cold voice .  

“It should have been the doing of the head disciple, Lu Fengnan . I knew from first glance that he wasn’t some broad-minded person . ” said Ye Qingzi .  

“I don’t know how to undo the second curse he used . Do you?” asked Yu Suo .  

“I can’t fully undo it . I can only delay the outbreak of the poison curse . I have to reach the middle remembrance spirit dominator in order to undo it . ” said Ye Qingzi .  

“Then delay it for a year for now . That Lu Fengnan isn’t an idiot . He knew first to make connections with people and make a good first impression . If I’m correct, Lu Fengnan will hide the thing he did and continuously cause trouble for you . He could even link you with people from Darkness Sect because if he paints you as a chess piece that Darkness Sect placed in Divine Sect, he can explain why you were willing to save the old man . ” said Yu Suo .  

Ye Qingzi rubbed her temples . How did she end up in such a troublesome situation after just getting here . If she had known about this, she wouldn’t have come, and just peacefully stayed in Wanxiang City to cultivate .  

“But it’s perfect . You also need to raise your strength . Once you reach the middle remembrance spirit dominator rank, you will be able to clear up this situation . Just focus on cultivating and try and defend against Lu Fengnan’s various methods of dealing with you . ” said Yu Suo .  

“Lu Fengnan is the head disciple of Xuan Gate, and his status isn’t much lower than Magistrate Xiao’s . Chu Mu, that bastard, imprisoned me for so many years so the plans I had originally deployed in Cloud Realm, He Border, and Great Border Kingdom have been thrown into disorder by him . I practically have nothing now so I naturally can’t deal with him . What I need to do now is slowly build back up my influence . If I clash with these types of people too early, it will bring huge trouble to me . However, you don’t need to worry either . When I have enough power, I will easily be able to crush Lu Fengnan to death!” said Yu Suo .

Ye Qingzi forced a smile . She couldn’t complete undo the second curse and probably before she undid it, she would have to stay inside Divine Sect and guarantee the old sect master’s life .  

Indeed, in order to hide his evildoing, Lu Fengnan would think of all kinds of methods to set her up . Only by maintaining the old sect master’s life could Ye Qingzi remain out of trouble .  

Ye Qingzi expended even more soul power this time . She had no choice but to admit that lu Fengnan’s xuan methods were above her’s . Moreover, they were much stronger . With her current strength, getting rid of the poison curse would require a lot of effort .  

After two hours of treatment, the old master’s condition gradually recovered to the state before Ye Qingzi had done any treating . His life force would be able to last for one or two months .  

    ……

“Hmph, has anything even changed?” the leader of the golden guards coldly harrumphed .  

“A week to live and half a month to live . Isn’t this a good change?” Ye Qingzi didn’t like the leader of the golden guard’s questioning gaze .  

Xiao Xueang saw that the situation was more optimistic than before and was slightly more relieved .  

The truth was that he had more belief that someone had secretly harmed the old man .  

He walked up to Ye Qingzi and said in a mental voice: “Young Lady Ye, unfortunately I’ll have to ask you to stay in our Divine Sect for a while longer . Whether or not you are able to heal the old man, we will treat you as an honored guest . ”  

Xiao Xueang’s words were quite comforting and Ye Qingzi didn’t say anything further .  

“I’ll start a third treatment in three days that will be able to prolong the old man’s life to three months . In order to treat the root, I will have to use continuous treatments . ” Ye Qingzi said to Xiao Xueang .  

“Mm, many thanks . ” Xiao Xueang nodded his head . He turned to Xiao Chan and said: “Bring Young Lady Ye back to rest then go to the pavillion to retrieve a few xuan items for Young Lady Ye to recover with . ”
