Chapter 396: 395, Sowing Discord Chapter 396: 395, Sowing Discord “Sometimes, in the face of interests, kinship isn’t worth mentioning,” Qin Yushen shook his head regrettably as he looked down at Yuan Yixiu on the ground. If Yuan Yixiu hadn’t asked them to spare Yuan Yu’er back then, he wouldn’t have ended up like this. Ultimately, he was too soft-hearted.
“She Tan, guard him here and report to me immediately if anything happens,” Song Yan Ning summoned She Tan and instructed. If Yuan Yixiu didn’t wake up after an hour since taking the elixir, then there was nothing she could do. Cultivators were different from ordinary people; since Yuan Yixiu hadn’t taken a Blood Soul Pill to preserve his Divine Soul before dying, even if saved, his Divine Soul wouldn’t be intact anymore.
“Yes!” She Tan responded respectfully.
Yuan Yu’er ran quickly and spotted a relatively concealed spot ahead, so she dashed there to hide.
She took out the Storage Bag she had just acquired from Yuan Yixiu, unsealed the Array Formation Restriction and opened it. She didn’t have high hopes for Yuan Yixiu’s Storage Bag, but it was better than nothing.
Upon seeing the contents of the Storage Bag, Yuan Yu’er went stunned on the spot. There were various kinds of Spirit Grass and materials, most of which were on the list for this mission.
“Never thought that waste could be so capable,” Yuan Yu’er took out a Jade Bottle and opened it, her face immediately broke into a surprised smile, “He even managed to find Thousand-year-old Stone Bamboo Pith. I might have underestimated that waste.”
“It was you who did it,” a cold voice rang out in front of Yuan Yu’er.
Yuan Yu’er looked up and saw Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen. She was slightly taken aback, then quickly gathered her senses and hid the Storage Bag, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“Did you kill Yuan Yixiu?” Song Yan Ning stepped forward, her piercing gaze locking onto Yuan Yu’er’s eyes.
Yuan Yu’er avoided the gaze, “I didn’t kill him, he’s my brother, why would I kill him?” She had suffered at their hands before; she absolutely must not admit it, or she would certainly die.
Song Yan Ning’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Then how did Yuan Yixiu’s Storage Bag end up in your hands?”
“That’s my Storage Bag,” Yuan Yu’er took a step back quietly, looking for a chance to escape.
Song Yan Ning didn’t waste any more words, lifted her hand to seize the Storage Bag from Yuan Yu’er’s waist, wiped away the Array Formation Restriction on it and opened it, pulling out a few talismans, “How would you explain these?” She had personally crafted these talismans and given them only to Yuan Yixiu.
“They’re mine.” Yuan Yu’er lunged swiftly towards Song Yan Ning. Everything she owned, as well as Yuan Yixiu’s Storage Bag, was there; she had to get them back.
Song Yan Ning kicked out, striking Yuan Yu’er in the stomach, “To kill your own brother, you really don’t deserve to be human.”
Yuan Yu’er staggered several steps backward from Song Yan Ning’s kick and sat down hard on the ground, a hint of fear in her eyes as she looked at Song Yan Ning, “You care so much about that waste Yuan Yixiu, could it be that you’re involved in something shameful with him?” Now, only by sowing discord between Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen would she have a chance to escape.
Qin Yushen’s face darkened, his gaze towards Yuan Yu’er flickered with coldness, and a chilling murderous aura released as if the air around them froze at that moment.
Yuan Yu’er shivered with fear. This man was truly terrifying!
“You can’t insult her,” Qin Yushen reached out to strike, and a powerful force like a mountain fell upon Yuan Yu’er.
Filled with the terrible scent of death, Yuan Yu’er’s eyes showed a glimmer of despair, “I was wrong, please let me go, I won’t dare do it again…” If she had known that angering this man was so terrifying, she would never have tried to instigate.
Qin Yushen didn’t intend to stop. He trusted Xiao Ning completely; anyone who dared to challenge their relationship would not be spared by him.
“Ah!” Yuan Yu’er let out a shrill scream, instantly turning into a mist of blood and vanishing on the spot.
Song Yan Ning’s gaze returned to Qin Yushen and saw that he still looked upset. She patted his chest, “Don’t be angry, it’s not worth it for such a person.”
Qin Yushen wrapped his arm around Song Yan Ning’s waist, pulling her closer, “I only trust you; I will always trust only you.” No matter what, even if he witnessed it himself, as long as Xiao Ning said it wasn’t true, he would believe it.
Song Yan Ning smiled faintly, “I trust you too.”
Upon seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen return, She Tan immediately stood up from the ground, “Master! He’s awake.”
Song Yan Ning walked over to check Yuan Yixiu’s condition, “Do you remember who we are?”
Yuan Yixiu shook his head confusedly, “Who am I?” His mind was a blank slate, he couldn’t remember anything.
Song Yan Ning sighed helplessly. Yuan Yixiu’s situation was indeed as she had anticipated. This Yuan Yixiu was no longer fit to stay in the Spiritual Realm. Without cultivation, he couldn’t undertake missions, and she and Qin Yushen couldn’t always protect him. Yet, abandoning Yuan Yixiu was also out of the question.
After some thought, Song Yan Ning decided to take Yuan Yixiu into her Spiritual Pearl for the time being, and turned to Qin Yushen, “I want to let Yuan Yixiu stay in my Spiritual Pearl first, and we can make plans after we leave the Spiritual Realm.”
“That’s the only way,” Qin Yushen nodded in agreement.
Song Yan Ning recalled She Tan and settled Yuan Yixiu well, then she and Qin Yushen returned to the mission deployment area, where several people were chatting. Their tasks were evidently completed.
A few people glanced at Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen as they approached.
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen sat down not far from the others. The others paid no attention to them, so naturally, they didn’t go out of their way to greet them either.
Time passed unknowingly, and more and more people returned here.
Wei Lingfeng saw Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, smiled, and quickly walked towards them.
“Where’s Yuan Yixiu?” Wei Lingfeng sat down next to Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
“He was severely injured; we arranged for him to recover in a safe place,” Qin Yushen said.
“How did he get injured?” Wei Lingfeng was somewhat surprised. When they had separated, their mission had been completed. Could it be that someone had conflicted with them here?
“We’re not sure of the details. He said he wanted to take a walk, and when we found him, he was seriously injured,” Song Yan Ning simply explained. With so many people around here, she didn’t want to go into detail.
“Do you know who did it?” Yuan Yixiu was his friend; how could he let go of the person who had injured him?
“That person is already dead,” Song Yan Ning said.
Wei Lingfeng nodded with a smile, “Good riddance. If he hadn’t died, I would have made sure he died a second time.”
