Chapter 463: Chapter 372 Continue Pretending_1
Li Xuan felt that his ruse of feigning unconsciousness was ingeniously executed.
Not because his act avoided harming Sun Chuyun, but because his beloved women came to see him one after another after he pretended to pass out.
The first ones to come were Luo Yan and Yue Qianqian, who arrived not long after his ’unconsciousness’.
Actually, when Li Xuan really passed out earlier, they had visited him twice. But with the nearing of the annual festival, the workload of the Shenyi Department, which was under his responsibility, only increased instead of decreasing. Luo Yan, as Li Xuan’s deputy, had to shoulder the responsibility.
Luo Yan felt guilty of her negligence leading to Li Xuan’s imprisonment, so she willingly took up all the affairs of the Shenyi Department and took the time to visit Li Xuan amidst her busy schedule.
Seeing Li Xuan still unconscious, she was quite worried at first, until Xue Yunrou’s words suggested that Li Xuan had woken up once before, which comforted her.
But when she held Li Xuan’s hand to sense his condition, she began to doubt the authenticity of his unconsciousness. She suspected he was pretending, but had no proof.
Afterward, Luo Yan couldn’t care about whether Li Xuan’s unconsciousness was real or not. She started a verbal fight with Xue Yunrou.
The intensity of the argument made Li Xuan break out in a cold sweat.
The battle ended with Luo Yan’s voluntary retreat as she acknowledged her loss to Xue Yunrou because she needed her help and lacked confidence. Also, there were still many things to be done in the Shenyi department. She didn’t have time to entangle with Xue Yunrou.
The verbal duels between the two women were much higher ranked than the hand-to-hand combat between Xue Yunrou and Sun Chuyun, which left the latter dumbfounded. Only then did she realize that around Li Xuan, there existed strong warriors full of killing intent.
However, when Luo Yan left, she left Yue Qianqian behind.
Xue Yunrou looked at Yue Qianqian with a complex expression. Even she could not bring herself to speak harshly to this girl who looked like a little white rabbit.
The second visitor was Yu Hongchang. As the Jingtai Emperor personally went to lead at the Shanhai Pass, the Princess of the Jin Dynasty needed to manage the palace city and handle some affairs on behalf of her father. Therefore, she was no less busy than Luo Yan.
Yu Hongchang also doubted the veracity of Li Xuan’s unconsciousness. She boldly lifted Li Xuan’s eyelids and examined his eyes carefully. Then she fondly smiled, "If Xuan wants to stay unconscious, let him be."
She glanced at Xue Yunrou, Yue Qianqian, and Sun Chuyun in the prison cell and thought that it was good for Li Xuan to be unconscious to prevent him from flirting with the three women in the cell.
She would deal with Li Xuan after she had finished her court affairs.
But after that, Yu Hongchang slightly knit her brows and looked at the area above Li Xuan’s head.
Yu Hongchang felt as if something was attached to Li Xuan, probably relating to the Ghost Gods, and that it contained a power similar to her Jianzhi Barrier. But when she tried to sense it more carefully, she felt nothing.
After some contemplation, Yu Hongchang temporarily put the matter aside. She planned to return to the palace to fetch a magical instrument used to enhance sensory abilities, then try again to figure out what it was.
To Sun Chuyun’s surprise, Xue Yunrou did not make any excessive remarks until Yu Hongchang left. The interactions between her and Yu Hongchang were even as intimate as two sisters.
Thus, Sun Chuyun looked at Xue Yunrou with less fear than before, thinking this woman was just a bully who preyed on the weak.
Xue Yunrou glanced at her disdainfully and sniffed dismissively.
Xue Yunrou and Yu Hongchang had sparred with each other many times, both openly and secretly. They knew each other too well and knew that once they started fighting, even if Yun Rou could get the better of Yu Hongchang, she herself would be angered to the point of internal injuries.
If some words could force Yu Hongchang to give up on Li Xuan, she would not have been polite to Yu Hongchang long ago.
At this point, Li Xuan, while secretly shocked, was also trying to sense his own condition.
Firstly, there was the green mark on his chest. This blemish, which was directly connected to his life, was naturally Li Xuan’s greatest concern at the moment.
After a short while, Li Xuan became slightly grave.
The green spot currently on his chest was only the size of a fingertip, which was already much better than when Hongshang had first leaned over. The problem was that the green spot was developing rapidly, even faster than before when the Yin God of Hongshang had left him.
Li Xuan’s cultivation had long since improved, not only was his physical strength close to the Martial Law golden body, but his Hao Qi had also breached the seventh house level.
Even so, he was still unable to resist the attack from the karma. It can be seen how strong the soul power of the little girl with the green sword was, and how sinister their deeds were.
Then there was the origin of the little girl with the green sword. Li Xuan tried to communicate with her using Divine Consciousness, but could get nothing. The little girl with the green sword was always sitting on the sword with a vague look, watching the three women in the prison as if she was a god looking down on all living beings.
The only consolation for Li Xuan at the moment were his two Immortal Artifacts. The armguard, ’Taotie’, was not far from fully recovering. The dense golden wires were weaving into a complete armguard shape on his arm, only some talismans and patterns were still missing.
Once it is fully recovered, its power should be better than before.
Li Xuan found that the power of these two Immortal Artifacts completely depended on the number of spirits they consumed.
The previous twenty thousand grudge ghosts in the Dali Temple Prison, which had an unknown number of greedy people among them, all turned into food for ’Taotie’, and also became the source of the Immortal Artifact’s power.
The key was that he can now command ’Taotie’s power at will, and can freely use this Immortal Artifact. Unlike before, when the power of this armguard could only be passively triggered.
’Wuqu Pojun’ also recovered a lot, the dense gold wire wrapped around his arm, looked like a strange wrist guard.
Using his divine consciousness, Li Xuan found that within ’Wuqu Pojun’, there existed a bizarre space.
Inside it, the two calamitous stars ’Wuqu Pojun’ hung up high, and below were more than ten thousand ghostly soldiers in armor, their banners fluttering. On close inspection, there were as many as thirteen thousand.
Li Xuan thought that Yu Yanjun once said that when ’Wuqu Pojun’ was being refined, only a few thousand soldiers’ Qi, blood, and spirits were fused into it.
However, how come there are so many malevolent spirits inside this strange space now?
Li Xuan felt that he could release all these fierce ghost soldiers, but couldn’t do it. It is likely that he still hasn’t truly subdued the Artifact Spirit of ’Wuqu Pojun’.
While Li Xuan was carefully investigating with his divine consciousness, he heard Jiang Yunqi’s voice.
"Unconscious?" Jiang Yunqi’s tone was somewhat heavy: "Let me see him."
Li Xuan felt a hand on his wrist, and not long after, Jiang Yunqi was puzzled, "It’s strange, his body is fine, and his Primordial Spirit is unharmed. There is some Yin Qi accumulated in his chest, but its not serious. Logically speaking, he should have woken up long ago."
Upon hearing this, Li Xuan felt Xue Yunrou’s sarcastic gaze fall on him.
He could even read the meaning in Xue Yunrou’s eyes, you keep pretending, keep pretending!
Li Xuan had no choice but to open his eyes as if awoken from a deep sleep, looking at Jiang Yunqi in surprise: "Uncle Jiang? When did you show up?"
"Just a little while ago." Jiang Yunqi remained silent with a smile, his eyes revealing a profound meaning: "I had been urged by the Hanyun talisman to come and see you, now that I see you’re all right, I’m relieved and can report back to Hanyun."
Upon hearing this, Xue Yunrou’s lips twitched slightly, but she remained silent.
Li Xuan was slightly embarrassed, but at this moment, he saw the figure of Lin Youzhen, the deputy Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate, appearing outside the prison door.
