Qian Lingwu looked at Qin Lingxi, "Qin Chu is my friend. I won't tell anyone about his matters. If he doesn't trust me, then I'll turn around and leave."
"Don't be agitated! I'm saying this because some matters concern the safety of our entire Family. I am Qin Lingxi, Qin Chu's aunt." Qin Lingxi stated her identity.
Qian Lingwu clasped her fists at Qin Lingxi. Since she was Qin Chu's aunt, she had to show respect.
"We are from the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. The Vermilion Bird Holy Land is currently at war with the White Tiger Holy Land and the Blazing Thunder Holy Land, so we are more concerned about our own safety," Qin Lingxi said.
After a slight pause for thought, Qian Lingwu nodded, "I understand. Just tell Qin Chu that I came."
Qian Lingwu knew a bit about the conflicts between the major Holy Lands and the past events of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, so she could understand Qin Lingxi's caution. However, she was a little regretful that she didn't get to see Qin Chu.
"Let's go. It's not far from here!" Qin Lingxi said. Although she felt a bit uneasy, her nephew's friend had come, and she couldn't stop them from meeting.
"Please rest assured, as Princess of the Qian Dynasty and a sixth-tier King realm Cultivator, I, Qian Lingwu, would never do anything treacherous. I will not reveal a single detail of your matters," Qian Lingwu stated. Qin Lingxi was taking a huge risk by bringing her to see Qin Chu, so she was willing to give her word.
Qin Lingxi led Qian Lingwu to the Vermilion Bird Villa, to the courtyard where Qin Chu resided.
Inside the courtyard, Qin Chu was Cultivating the sword technique, the Thousand Waves Sword, which Qian Lingwu had given him.
Upon seeing Qian Lingwu, Qin Chu was very happy. After putting away his Azure Spirit Sword, he invited Qian Lingwu and Qin Lingxi to sit down, then brewed tea for the two of them.
"Sister Lingwu, you're here!" Qin Chu greeted her after they sat down.
"Finding you is really not easy. If your people hadn't contacted me, I wouldn't have been able to find you at all!" Qian Lingwu said.
Qin Chu shook his head, "That's because you didn't look in the right place, Sister Lingwu. I still have some reputation in certain places. But fortunately, you didn't look in the right place. If you had, the trouble would have been immense. You have no idea how many people want to kill me right now. If they knew you and I were acquainted, they would definitely target you."
Qin Chu was truly a little scared. If the White Tiger Holy Land and the Blazing Thunder Holy Land discovered that Qian Lingwu was connected to him, they would definitely make a move against Qian Lingwu.
"It's alright. If I can't beat them, can't I run? How are things for you now? If they're not good, let's go back to Nanyan Prefecture!" Upon hearing that people wanted to kill Qin Chu, Qian Lingwu immediately became displeased.
At this moment, Qin Lingxi coughed. Make Qin Chu run? That wouldn't do. Qin Chu was the Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. If Qin Chu wasn't there, the Vermilion Bird Holy Land would have no successor.
"Sister Lingwu, you can rest assured about this. Everyone who has tried to cross me has suffered losses!" Hearing Qin Lingxi cough, Qin Chu quickly spoke, as he didn't want any conflict to arise.
Giving Qin Chu a look, Qin Lingxi turned and left. She had a good understanding; after knowing his background and the news of his parents, Qin Chu would not leave, because Qin Chu knew his responsibilities.
Qin Lingxi left, and Qin Chu poured Qian Lingwu a cup of water, "Sister Lingwu, why did you come to Zhongzhou?"
"Nanyan Prefecture is stable, and I have nothing much to do, so I came to Zhongzhou to have a look and see how you're doing. Why do so many people want to kill you? Are they all enemies of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land?" Qian Lingwu asked.
Qin Chu then told Qian Lingwu about his situation after leaving Nanyan Prefecture.
"Finding your Family and your background, this is a good thing. Although it's temporarily quite passive, you can take it slowly," Qian Lingwu said to Qin Chu. Although her face was calm, her heart was very shocked, because Qin Chu's origins were truly illustrious. He was the Young Lord of the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. If not for the great war before, no one would dare say their background was nobler than Qin Chu's.
"I made Sister Lingwu worry. Oh, right, I also have a gift specially prepared for Sister Lingwu." Qin Chu took out the Spirit Intent Grass from his Storage Ring and handed it to Qian Lingwu.
Looking at the Spear Intent Grass in Qin Chu's hand, Qian Lingwu's face was full of surprise, because the aura contained within the Spear Intent Grass triggered the Spear Intent within her body.
"Take it!" Qin Chu pushed the Spear Intent Grass into Qian Lingwu's hand.
"Is this what you gained in Sky Sword Mountain, Spirit Intent Grass?" After grasping the Spear Intent Grass in her hand, Qian Lingwu looked at Qin Chu and asked, as Qin Chu had just told her about Sky Sword Mountain.
Qin Chu nodded, "This is a rather special type of Spirit Intent Grass, a Spear Intent Grass that is only suitable for spear Cultivators. The first person I thought of after getting it was Sister Lingwu." Qin Chu said with a smile.
Qian Lingwu fell silent. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Qin Chu, "I cannot accept something you obtained through so many hardships!"
"Just take it! This Spear Intent Grass, once it came into my hands, was destined to be yours. This is fate!" Qin Chu reached out and held Qian Lingwu's hand.
Seeing Qin Chu's resolute attitude, Qian Lingwu put away the Spear Intent Grass. She knew that she could only keep this kindness in her heart.
After chatting with Qian Lingwu for a while, Qin Chu called a maid and asked her to arrange a place for Qian Lingwu to rest, so Qian Lingwu could go and rest first.
Shangshuyu and Granny Yu were getting closer and closer to the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. At this point, Shangshu Tianye and Zhen Han could no longer follow. They were different from Shangshuyu; Shangshuyu was moving openly, and if anyone intercepted her, she would directly say she was Qin Chu's friend. But they couldn't do that. They could fight their way in, but it was impossible to infiltrate stealthily.
"Madam, that's the situation. What should we do? It's still not too late to bring Yu'er back now. Should we let her go or bring her back?" Shangshu Tianye asked his wife.
"Let her be! Our daughter is grown and has her own ideas. Besides, Granny Yu is with her. Granny Yu might not help her find the right path, but she definitely won't let her go down the wrong path," Zhen Han said.
Shangshu Tianye nodded, then drove the beast carriage back. They had already confirmed that Qin Chu was from the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. Since Shangshuyu had a good relationship with Qin Chu, she wouldn't suffer any harm. Moreover, the Azure Dragon Holy Land had not wronged anyone.
Shangshuyu stopped advancing near the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. She felt that she didn't need to request an audience. She was already in the territory controlled by the Vermilion Bird Holy Land, and her arrival would surely be discovered by the Vermilion Bird Holy Land. After discovery, naturally, there would be a notification. If Qin Chu wanted to see her, he would naturally appear; if he didn't want to see her, she wouldn't force it.
Qin Chu was still diligently Cultivating. He planned to quickly break through to the fifth-tier Heavenly Yuan Realm. After entering the fifth-tier Heavenly Yuan Realm, his combat power would greatly increase. His self-preservation and enemy-killing abilities would be different from now. Currently, he still didn't have the ability to fight against Prince Hu Shangtang.
