Chapter 2586: Chapter 2606: What’s It Like to Be a Dog for Your Enemy?

"Lord Qiu, it was Master Zhen who asked for you. I’m just responsible for delivering the message. Quit staring at me; go find Master Zhen yourself."

Lin Chen spread his hands, an innocent expression on his face, "If I didn’t take on some impressive identity, could I have met with you? I was forced into this as well."

Qiu Wushuang ground her teeth angrily, "Impersonating a secret envoy from Demon Dragon City Lord just to see me, and the things you said to me afterward, that attitude, were you also forced into that?"

Lin Chen shrugged, "You were already talking about killing me, am I not allowed to say a few words to feel better?"

For a moment, Qiu Wushuang was at a loss for words, unable to retort.

Yes, she had said she would kill him at a suitable place, and that was when he started to tease her. Alright, this guy was relying on the fact that he was just an avatar, unafraid of death, and that’s why he acted so recklessly.

If the true body doesn’t die, the grudge remains hard to swallow!

Master Zhen spoke indifferently, "You said that after all these years I haven’t changed, aren’t you the same? Always wanting to be the best, unwilling to take any slight, and when you’re about to kill someone, you don’t allow them to curse you?"

Qiu Wushuang humphed coldly, "That’s just his avatar, his true body is far from dead!"

Master Zhen said coldly, "Unable to let go? How about I take you down and put a set of Soul Manacles on you? Making you his maid, pouring his tea, providing his water, and making his bed every day?"

Qiu Wushuang glared at Master Zhen furiously, "Dare to do so and I’ll make sure we burn together, jade and stone!"

Master Zhen sneered, "Jade and Stone Burning Together, you’d need the strength for that. Do you think it’s still the old days? I could kill you now as easily as flipping my hand!"

Qiu Wushuang’s expression changed slightly, her gaze fixed intently on Master Zhen, "You’ve reached Quasi-Saint?"

Master Zhen snorted coldly, "If I were as worthless as you, how could I avenge Master?"

Qiu Wushuang’s face was a tapestry of disbelief and suspicion as she sized up Master Zhen, slowly shaking her head, "No, you’re not a Quasi-Saint. If you were, you would have easily suppressed me just now. Even if I wanted to kill that kid, it would not have been possible..."

Master Zhen didn’t explain, merely stated indifferently, "If you’re unconvinced, you can give it a try."

Qiu Wushuang sneered, "Even if I’m no match for you, can you compare to that person from Myriad Immortal Hall? You still want to kill him; I think you’ve lost your mind!"

Master Zhen stared at Qiu Wushuang, speaking coldly, "Whether or not I can kill him in the end, at least I’m trying. As for you, how does it feel to serve the murderer of your mother like a dog?"

Qiu Wushuang, who had been indifferent, changed drastically in countenance upon hearing the last sentence and screamed, "What did you say?"

Mockery thickened in Master Zhen’s eyes, his voice filled with scornful laughter, "Don’t you know that your mother, my Master, died at his hands?"

Qiu Wushuang turned pale, screaming, "That’s nonsense! Impossible!"

Master Zhen looked calmly at Qiu Wushuang, not refuting nor explaining, but his silent composure only heightened Qiu Wushuang’s terror.

"You must be lying to me, right? When my mother passed away, I was by her side, watching her leave. She passed the position of City Lord to me and told me to be loyal to Myriad Immortal Hall, loyal to the Hall Master..."

Master Zhen sneered, "Master was powerful, nearly a Quasi-Saint, perfectly well, but then returned from outside fatally injured, her life hanging by a thread. When we asked about the murderer, she said it was a Quasi-Saint from another Immortal Domain, unknown by name or origin... Do you believe such an excuse?"

Qiu Wushuang bit her lip, "If not a Quasi-Saint, who could injure her?"

Master Zhen didn’t answer, but instead asked, "Do you know how long ago he broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm?"

Qiu Wushuang naturally knew who he meant, "It’s been too long, I can’t remember clearly, but I vaguely recall it was shortly after Mother’s death..."

Qiu Wushuang’s eyes widened in disbelief, "Are you saying that his breakthrough and my mother’s death are related?"

Master Zhen asked again, "Do you know which Cultivation Technique he practices?"

Qiu Wushuang did not hesitate this time, responding immediately, "Heartless Art!"

Master Zhen said coldly, "Heartless Art, the name says it all. To attain the supreme Dao, one must be heartless. To put it simply, one must completely sever worldly desires. Do you know the relationship between him and Master?"

Qiu Wushuang’s face turned deathly pale. Although what Master Zhen said seemed unrelated to her mother’s death, the subtle thread connecting the questions laid exposed before her.

Qiu Wushuang’s voice softened to a murmur, "I heard that they were old acquaintances. I asked Mother about it, but she didn’t elaborate, only mentioned that they knew each other in the past..."

"Knew each other?"

Master Zhen laughed bitterly, the sound filled with piercing sorrow, "It was more than just acquaintance. He was in love with Master, but although she admired his talent, she never liked him, not accepting him until the very end. Then she met your father, and they loved each other dearly. Things of the past were naturally buried deep, not to be disclosed to others, and certainly not to you..."

Qiu Wushuang looked utterly devastated, murmuring in a soft voice, "Heartless Art, true love..."
