Zhen Xuelin nodded, "Then you two wait in the manor. When the time is right, I'll take you to rescue him."
"Wait a moment, let me ask one more question. Uncle Qingyi's Cultivation was sealed by your Clan Chief. How can his Cultivation be restored?" Qin Chu asked.
"The Clan Chief probably severed a few Meridians around Qingyi's Dantian. Although his Origin Qi is still there, it can't circulate throughout his body, making him no different from a cripple. It won't be easy to restore." Zhen Xuelin left the manor after saying this.
Then, Zhen Xuelin's subordinates led Qin Chu and Qin Lingxi to rest.
After settling down, Qin Lingxi came to Qin Chu's courtyard. "Qin Chu, we've understood most of the situation. You don't need to worry about the rescue operation from now on."
"Aunt, what do you mean by that?" Qin Chu frowned.
"Later, go find Elder Long Feng and ask if there's a way to repair Qingyi's Meridians. Then leave and wait outside," Qin Lingxi said to Qin Chu. She was afraid something would happen to Qin Chu, as he was the future of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan and couldn't take risks.
"Aunt, Qin Chu will listen to all other arrangements, but not this. In the past, I was young and couldn't handle much, but now I'm older and have some ability. I won't back down from what I should bear, otherwise, I won't be able to face myself," Qin Chu said.
"Qin Chu, the Jianghu is dangerous, and not everyone can be trusted. If she has some scheme, going to rescue him would be walking into a trap!" Qin Lingxi said, referring to Zhen Xuelin. It wasn't that she didn't trust Zhen Xuelin, but when Qin Chu was involved, she had to be extra cautious.
Qin Chu shook his head. "Aunt, you're overthinking. If she had ill intentions, we would probably be in trouble by now. In this area, if she wanted to harm us, we wouldn't be able to escape."
"But there are many variables during the rescue process," Qin Lingxi said to Qin Chu.
"Aunt, I know all that you've said. When you led me in our escape, I couldn't do much; but now, I absolutely won't let you fight alone. I don't want to have any regrets in my life. This is my insistence." Qin Chu looked at Qin Lingxi and said.
Qin Lingxi hesitated. She was genuinely worried about Qin Chu's safety, but if she didn't bring Qin Chu along, it would be a blow to him, as if she didn't acknowledge him.
"Aunt, you don't need to hesitate. Zhen Xuelin is trustworthy. If we are careful and cautious during the rescue, there won't be any major problems. Aunt, your nephew always has to bear some responsibilities. Can you hold his hand forever?" Qin Chu looked at Qin Lingxi and said.
"Alright! Then we, aunt and nephew, will go together. They didn't kill us back then, and they can't this time, nor can they ever!" Qin Lingxi's aura changed. She had realized that Qin Chu needed independence; it was only a matter of time. She couldn't control Qin Chu his entire life; the heir of the Vermilion Bird Holy Clan had to be capable of standing on his own.
Afterward, Qin Chu left the manor and found Qin Longfeng, explaining Qingyi's current situation.
"I'm worried about his Dantian and Meridians. Uncle has prepared some Medicinal Pills for treating Meridians and Dantian. Take these two bottles of Medicinal Pills, one for treating the Dantian and one for treating the Meridians; also take this bottle, which is for rapidly restoring Origin Qi." Qin Longfeng handed Qin Chu three bottles of Medicinal Pills.
The strategy decided upon was for Qin Lingxi to bring Qin Chu to meet Zhen Xuelin to rescue Qingyi, with Qin Longfeng providing support from the periphery. This was mainly because Zhen Xuelin didn't trust others much and was currently only willing to interact with Qin Lingxi and Qin Chu.
After giving the Medicinal Pills to Qin Chu, Qin Longfeng also discussed the retreat route with him. After the rescue, they had to withdraw safely.
Taking the Medicinal Pills, Qin Chu returned to the manor and then discussed with Qin Lingxi.
"Qin Chu, Aunt has calculated that if Zhen Xuelin isn't scheming against us, rescuing Qingyi shouldn't be difficult. The only drawback is that if they discover Qingyi has been rescued, they might increase surveillance on your mother, making it harder to rescue her," Qin Lingxi said to Qin Chu.
"That shouldn't happen. Uncle Qingyi was left to fend for himself in the Profound Ice Prison, and no one cares about his life or death anymore. If we secretly steal him out and retreat safely, there shouldn't be any issues," Qin Chu said after thinking for a moment.
"You wait here for Aunt. Aunt will go out and look for some wicked person who deserves to die. After killing him, his body can be used as a cover after rescuing your Uncle Qingyi," Qin Lingxi instructed Qin Chu, then left the manor.
Watching Qin Lingxi leave, Qin Chu began to meditate and Cultivate. He was Cultivating Battle Intent, which he had newly comprehended and needed to consolidate.
The comprehension of a Concept requires an Opportunity and an Epiphany. Qin Chu was able to comprehend Battle Intent because his Battle Intent erupted upon hearing about his mother's situation, leading him to comprehend it.
Zhen Xuelin's manor was sparsely populated, with only one or two trusted subordinates managing it, so Qin Chu wasn't too worried about being exposed.
Level One Battle Intent, Level Two Battle Intent. Qin Chu Cultivated his Battle Intent from Level One to Level Three, reaching the Level Three Peak, then began to consolidate it. He didn't study Killing Intent, as Killing Intent was a somewhat deviant Cultivation path.
Qin Chu steadily consolidated his Battle Intent until midnight, when Qin Lingxi finally returned.
"Aunt!" Qin Chu greeted her.
"Hmm, your Battle Intent Cultivation is quite good." Qin Lingxi observed Qin Chu. She had felt the surging Battle Intent from him even before entering the manor.
"Did things go smoothly?" Qin Chu looked at Qin Lingxi.
Qin Lingxi nodded. "Usually there are many villains, but this time I searched for a long time before finding a fellow who was about to commit evil. Aunt killed him, and his body is in the Storage Ring."
"Aunt, you didn't kill innocent people, did you?" Qin Chu smiled.
"What are you saying, you scoundrel? Is Aunt that kind of person? Aunt didn't let you do this because I was afraid you'd mess up! Oh, and don't touch Killing Intent. Throughout history, there have been some who comprehended Killing Intent, but they were all quite brutal and bloodthirsty. Except for one or two who reached the top of the Cultivator world, the others didn't have good endings." Qin Lingxi glared at Qin Chu, then reminded him.
Qin Lingxi never married. When she fled with Qin Chu, she experienced a lot, and Qin Chu was like her own son in her eyes.
After everything was prepared, Qin Lingxi and Qin Chu waited for news.
While waiting for news, Qin Lingxi told Qin Chu some things about Qingyi.
Qingyi was from the Black Tortoise Holy Clan, from a relatively humble branch family. Once, Qingyi and his widowed mother were bullied by core members of the Black Tortoise Holy Clan, and it was Qin Chu's mother, Zhen Xueyan, who stepped in to save Qingyi and his mother. After his mother passed away, Qingyi became a death warrior, loyal to only one person his entire life, and that person was Qin Chu's mother, Zhen Xueyan. "He is a very dependable person. After coming to our Vermilion Bird Holy Clan, he got along very well with everyone. Your parents treated him like family, and he truly did not let your parents down. When the three of us were fleeing, he risked his life many times to create opportunities for us," Qin Lingxi said.
