Chapter 473 - 471: It Really Was Done by Chu Yan

Chapter 473: Chapter 471: It Really Was Done by Chu Yan

Qin Zhao wandered around the mountain and asked the local demons and ghosts of Kunlun Mountain about the jade pendant.

They all said they had never seen this piece of jade.

"Help! Save me!"

Just as she planned to descend the mountain, Qin Zhao suddenly heard a cry for help.

She turned around and headed in the direction of the cries, intending to see what was happening.

"Don’t chase me, wooo, just go away!"

Qin Zhao used her spiritual power and quickly reached the location of the cries.

She saw a teenager about eighteen or nineteen years old running towards her in a panic, glancing back from time to time as if something terrifying was pursuing him.

With a thud, the teenager fell at Qin Zhao’s feet.

He quickly scrambled up and grabbed onto her upon seeing her.

"Run! There’s a man-eating ghost around here!"

The teenager used all his strength but couldn’t move Qin Zhao.

"Go quickly! She’s coming soon!"

The teenager tried to run away by himself, but as Qin Zhao stood still, worry spread across his face.

"I want to see what kind of man-eating ghost this is."

Qin Zhao looked at him indifferently.

"Aren’t you afraid?"

"I am a Heavenly Master, naturally I am not afraid. If you are scared, you may go ahead."

The teenager hesitated for a while.

From far away, a chill wind blew.

It seemed as if a phantom shadow was rapidly approaching them.

His face turned pale, and he turned and ran.

"Little brat, you dare to run?"

The cold voice of the female ghost, with a hint of huskiness.

Before the teenager could get far, the female ghost pounced on him, her claws stretching towards the back of his head.

Just when her claws were a finger’s width from his head, a pale and slender hand pressed against the female ghost’s arm, and she suddenly stopped moving, frozen in place.

Qin Zhao raised her hand and the female ghost was flung away.

"You... you’re a Heavenly Master?"

The female ghost got up and looked at her in shock.

Qin Zhao did not answer her but raised her hand, ready to cast another spell.

The female ghost quickly dropped to her knees and yelled, "Heavenly Master, spare my life! It was this kid who stole my stuff, that’s why I chased him out. I’ve never harmed anyone!"

Qin Zhao paused, "What stuff?"

"My burial object."

Qin Zhao turned to look at the teenager. He had his back to them, standing still as if he was shocked stiff.

At this moment, Qin Zhao noticed he was wearing traditional ethnic clothing, with a slender figure and pale skin, and there was a string of beautiful silver bells on his wrist.

When he had run over before, the silver bells jingled.

"What burial object?"

The teenager turned his head to look at her, his eyes filled with confusion.

"The shoes on your feet are mine!"

The female ghost accusatorily pointed to his feet.

Qin Zhao looked down and saw the teenager was wearing a pair of bright red embroidered shoes.

Though they were women’s shoes, they didn’t look out of place on him, probably because he was clean and delicate-looking with an androgynous air.

The teenager was silent for a moment, "I found them on the road. My family has no money, and I usually go barefoot, so when I saw these shoes on the road, I picked them up."

"These were my shoes; I wore them before. You can’t have them! Give them back to me, quick!"

"Alright."

The teenager willingly bent down, removed the embroidered shoes, and threw them back to her.

Having seen this, Qin Zhao said to the female ghost, "Now, is that settled?"

"Mhm."

The female ghost held onto her embroidered shoes like treasure and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Qin Zhao called her back, "Your aura is rather malevolent, and your cultivation is also high. I need to have a Netherworld Envoy from the underworld check whether you have committed any evil deeds."

"I..."

The female ghost was at a loss for words, her face expressing reluctance.

Qin Zhao released her own imposing aura, and the ghost dared not move.

A Yin Summoning Spell called forth a Netherworld Envoy, but this time it wasn’t Black Impermanence.

"Why isn’t it Black Impermanence?"

Qin Zhao casually asked a question.

The Netherworld Envoy replied, "The underworld has been quite busy lately, Black Boss doesn’t have much free time."

Qin Zhao nodded in understanding and pointed to the female ghost.

"Could you check if she has committed any evil deeds for me?"

"Sure."

The Netherworld Envoy used the Underworld APP to scan the female ghost for a while, then his expression turned grave.

He threw out the Soul Hook, which bound the female ghost.

"Miss, please come with me to the underworld."

"No, I don’t want to go."

The female ghost struggled for a while, but the Soul Hook directly released lightning that struck her.

In an instant, she calmed down.

"Miss Qin, until we meet again."

The Netherworld Envoy politely bid her farewell.

Just as he was about to leave the Mortal World through a vortex portal, the half-disappeared Netherworld Envoy suddenly reappeared.

He stared at the Jade Pendant in Qin Zhao’s hand, "Miss Qin, where did you get this from?"

"Do you recognize it?"

The Netherworld Envoy nodded.

"Do you know its origin?"

The Netherworld Envoy hesitated for a moment, then said, "It seems to be an accessory of King Chujiang; I’ve seen it on him before. He had this Jade Pendant hanging around his waist. Did King Chujiang give it to you?"

Qin Zhao was puzzled, "Who is King Chujiang?"

"It’s the Mr. Chu who often accompanies you."

"..."

In fact, as soon as she heard the name King Chujiang, Qin Zhao vaguely guessed it was Chu Yan.

Her heart grew more complicated.

Could it be that her master was really killed by Chu Yan?

Were all the things he had told her before just lies?

Qin Zhao felt a stifling feeling in her heart, as if something were blocking it.

"Sister, thank you for saving me."

A voice suddenly came to her ear, interrupting Qin Zhao’s thoughts.

She turned to look, and the youth was looking at her with a smile, his lips red and teeth white, quite handsome.

"Don’t mention it, where is your home? I’ll take you back."

Qin Zhao didn’t want to think about those things right now, so she wanted to do something else.

"My home is up in the mountains; I’m a member of the Luoshui Clan."

"Is the Luoshui Clan an ethnic minority?"

"I guess so, we don’t really come down from the mountain much, and our people all live together."

"What’s your name?"

"Luo Han."

Qin Zhao didn’t ask any further and followed him up into the mountains.

Before long, they arrived at a rather secluded mountain village, with villagers dressed similarly to the young man.

"It’s already dark, do you want to come in and sit for a while?"

"No need."

"Please come in and sit, it can be very dangerous in the mountains at night, better to go down the mountain tomorrow."

Luo Han invited her earnestly, his gaze sincere.

Qin Zhao was somewhat distracted.

"Alright, could I have a separate room to rest for a while?"

"Of course."

She followed Luo Han to his home, currently only wanting to sit alone in silence.

Luo Han’s home was empty; he had said earlier that his parents had passed away long ago, and he had grown up alone, with only the elders in the tribe occasionally helping him out with some things.

"Sister, you rest first; I’ll go make dinner."

Seeing him leave, Qin Zhao closed the door.

She looked down at the Jade Pendant in her hand, her eyes inexplicably moist.

Was it really you who did it?

Why did you lie to her again?

Every time, just when she held a glimmer of hope for him, she would fall into even deeper despair.

If it really was Chu Yan who had done it, Qin Zhao felt she couldn’t accept it.

She even never wanted to see Chu Yan again.
