In the training room, Zhou Lin was meditating with her legs crossed. The door to the training room slowly opened and Si Tuying walked in. He glanced at Zhou Lin who was meditating and casually placed the information on the table. He said to Zhou Lin, "If you have time, come and take a look at this. It has something to do with Qinchuan."
Upon hearing Si Tuying's words, Zhou Lin subconsciously stopped practicing her Kung Fu. She stood up and walked to the table to pick up the report. After reading the contents of the report, a complicated look appeared on her face. She said softly, "He has really become more and more powerful."
Si Tuying sighed and said, "When he first entered the Center of Kunlun's Field, I thought that he was just an ant that could be easily crushed. I did not expect him to grow to such a frightening level in the blink of an eye. If he had not been treated unfairly in the Center of Kunlun's Field, he might not have reached such heights today. This is probably a blessing in disguise."
Regardless of whether it was fighting Zerg's army of three hundred thousand, fighting Kargad, or defeating the Ancient Ones today, any one of these things was shocking enough. If a person could do something like this in their lifetime, they would be proud of it for the rest of their life. However, Qinchuan had done all of these in just a few days.
After sighing, Si Tuying had no choice but to face her current situation. She said to Zhou Lin with a complicated tone, "Master summoned me again today and asked about my training. He even wanted to test my realm and strength. I feel that we can't keep this a secret for much longer."
Hearing Si Tuying's words, Zhou Lin's expression changed slightly. She asked, "Shangguan Yuanhao has already begun to suspect you?"
Si Tuying nodded and said, "If Master did not come out yesterday, I'm afraid that he would have summoned me again today."
As Si Tuying spoke, she looked at Zhou Lin and asked, "Can you contact Qinchuan?"
Upon hearing Si Tuying's words, Zhou Lin understood what Si Tuying was trying to do. Si Tuying wanted to borrow Qinchuan's strength to deal with Shangguan Yuanhao so that she could escape. However, now that Shangguan Yuanhao's master had come out of seclusion, Zhou Lin did not want to let Qinchuan take the risk without knowing how strong his master was. Moreover … with her current relationship with Qinchuan, he might not be willing to help her.
Thinking of this, Zhou Lin's expression couldn't help but become a little gloomy. She whispered, "Do you think my relationship with him will still be as good as before?"
Back then, her father plotted against Qinchuan. Her former master was Qinchuan's enemy who killed his parents. She did not lend a helping hand when Qinchuan needed it the most. Now that she was in prison, what right did she have to ask Qinchuan to help her escape?
Hearing Zhou Lin's question, Si Tuying was slightly stunned. Then, a bitter look appeared on her face. She stopped talking about this matter and changed the topic, "Right now, we can only take one step at a time. If we are forced into a corner, we can only try to escape from Sky Castle. It's fine for me, but what about you? Your father is still in Master's hands. What should we do?"
"There will always be a way when the time comes. You don't have to worry about this. You just have to protect yourself."
Zhou Lin was obviously anxious about Zhou Meng. However, she also knew that there was no point in being anxious.
Seeing that Zhou Lin was unwilling to talk about this matter, Si Tuying did not say anything else. Just as he was about to talk about something else, his optical computer suddenly lit up. When he saw the message received by his optical computer, his face turned pale.
"Master wants to see me!"
…
In the study room.
Si Tuying slowly walked to the table and looked at Shangguan Yuanhao, who was standing with his back facing her. She then shouted respectfully, "Master, I'm here."
Hearing Si Tuying's words, Shangguan Yuanhao did not immediately turn around. Instead, he pointed at the sunset outside the window and asked Si Tuying, "Ying 'er, what do you think of the scenery outside the window?
Isn't it beautiful? "
Hearing this, Si Tuying subconsciously looked at the sunset outside the window. Looking at the city that was dyed orange by the sunset, she pursed her lips and replied, "The sunset is beautiful. The city is beautiful too."
"That's right. The scenery is so beautiful. Who wouldn't want to look at it for the rest of their lives?"
Shangguan Yuanhao sighed. He slowly turned around and looked at Si Tuying. With a complicated tone, he said, "Ying 'er, can you understand my frustration and helplessness when I see such a beautiful scenery?"
Si Tuying's face changed slightly. She said softly, "Master, I don't understand what you are talking about."
"No, you understand. However, you don't want to understand. You are afraid."
Shangguan Yuanhao looked deeply at Si Tuying. "I am also afraid because your opponent is too strong. Qinchuan's growth is much faster than I expected. It is also much more frightening!"
Hearing Shangguan Yuanhao mention Qinchuan, Si Tuying said, "Master, so what if Qinchuan is strong?
You still have a master behind you! "
"Hehe, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. No matter how strong my master is, it is his ability, not mine."
Shangguan Yuanhao slowly walked around the desk and walked in front of Si Tuying. He said softly, "If I want to live, I need to rely on myself. You are my biggest support now!"
Si Tuying's face changed again. She forced a smile and said, "Master, what support do I have?"
"Actually, I secretly went to see Zhou Lin once. She is still a virgin to this day. You have not consummated your marriage with her, nor have you dual cultivated with her!"
Shangguan Yuanhao looked at Si Tuying with a sharp gaze. "I have been giving you a chance. I hope that you will realize your mistakes and turn back. However, you have disappointed me!"
Hearing Shangguan Yuanhao's words, Si Tuying finally could not take it anymore. She wanted to retreat. However, her body had already been restrained by Shangguan Yuanhao. She could not move at all.
"Why are you doing this?
Why do you want to disappoint me? "
Shangguan Yuanhao looked gloomily at Si Tuying. "Isn't it good to advance to the Original Infant Stage and willingly sacrifice your life and cultivation for me?"
Si Tuying looked at Shangguan Yuanhao in shock. She said in disbelief, "Master, you …"
"That's right. It is exactly what you are thinking. Be bold and say it."
Shangguan Yuanhao said coldly, "The technique that you are practicing is the Cauldron Technique that I gave you. As long as you advance to the Original Infant Stage, I will be able to absorb your cultivation and lifespan to increase my own cultivation and lifespan.
When that happens, I will be able to advance to the Complete Original Infant Stage and become the strongest person in the world! "
"Back then, Qinchuan's father discovered that I was practicing this evil technique. That was why he cut ties with me. I was worried that he would spread the news and ruin my reputation. Therefore … I decided to kill him!"
