Chapter 1467 - 1400: She Can't Stay Either!

Rumble!

Splash!

Beneath the lake, a series of earth-shattering booms erupted instantly.

The lake surface, waves blocking the sky!

The entire Marquis' manor trembled violently, with cracks spreading from the center of the lake in all directions.

"Qin Feiyang, tell your two subordinates to hurry up, or the Marquis' manor will be destroyed!"

Watching this scene, Martial Marquis Shao was anxious and distraught.

But before the words had fallen, the battle's fluctuations subsided.

Thud!

The seals emerged from the lake with a bloodied woman, landing in front of Qin Feiyang.

"I said I wouldn't need more than five breaths, and I didn't, all done!"

The seahorse laughed proudly.

"Very good."

Qin Feiyang nodded.

Whoosh!!!

At that moment, accompanied by the sound of air being sliced, the manor's guards arrived upon hearing the news.

Qin Feiyang looked at Martial Marquis Shao and said calmly, "You should know what to say, right?"

Martial Marquis Shao glanced deeply at Qin Feiyang and nodded, "I know."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, taking Thunder Leopard, the three beasts, and the woman, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Not long after.

The manor's guards arrived and saw the repaired lake, their faces instantly changing.

A guard captain asked, "Lord Marquis, what's going on?"

Martial Marquis Shao smiled and said, "I was just teaching Cai'er to cultivate and accidentally made a commotion. There's no need to panic."

"Teaching the young lady to cultivate?"

The group of guards was stunned.

The guard captain forced a smile and said, "Lord Marquis, you don't need to cause such a big commotion just to teach the young lady to cultivate, we even thought an enemy was attacking!"

"Sorry for making you worry, if there's nothing else, you may leave now!"

Martial Marquis Shao smiled apologetically, gesturing them away.

"Yes!"

The guard captain respectfully responded, then turned away with the group of guards.

But just as the group of guards left, another figure descended above the lake.

"Hm?"

Martial Marquis Shao looked up and instantly changed color, bowing, "Greetings, State Preceptor."

Indeed!

The newcomer was the State Preceptor!

"You arrived pretty quickly."

Inside the ancient castle.

A flash of light appeared in Qin Feiyang's eyes, and he immediately maneuvered the ancient castle, silently disappearing into the void.

The State Preceptor glanced at the lake, looking at Martial Marquis Shao with a frown, "I heard strong battle fluctuations here just now, what happened?"

Martial Marquis Shao said, "Thank you for your concern, State Preceptor, I was just teaching my daughter to cultivate, nothing else."

"Is that so?"

The State Preceptor looked at the woman in green.

The woman in green nodded, her expression slightly flustered, an instinctive fear of the State Preceptor.

The State Preceptor scrutinized the two of them, suddenly releasing his Divine Sense, surging in all directions and enveloping the entire manor instantly.

Shortly after.

His face suddenly darkened!

There was no sign of Ge Yong and the maid.

Could the previous battle fluctuations be related to Ge Yong and the maid?

But he said nothing, glancing coldly at Martial Marquis Shao before opening a portal and leaving directly.

Until the portal dissipated, Martial Marquis Shao finally sighed in relief.

The woman in green asked, "Father, isn't this State Preceptor a bit too concerned about us?"

Martial Marquis Shao said solemnly, "Things aren't as simple as you think."

"How so?"

The woman in green asked, puzzled.

"That maid's identity was just exposed by Qin Feiyang, and the State Preceptor immediately descended on our manor, what does this tell you?"

"It shows that the State Preceptor has been keeping an eye on our manor's happenings."

"My guess is, that maid is very likely a spy the State Preceptor placed by your side!"

Martial Marquis Shao stated.

"What?"

"Why would he do that?"

The woman in green changed color.

The remaining maid also looked shocked.

"Why else?"

"It's definitely because I repeatedly challenged Emperor Hong at the Central Square, which infuriated him."

Martial Marquis Shao snorted coldly.

"That Old Bastard is too much!"

The woman in green was filled with anger, her bright eyes full of disgust.

"Emperor Haotian is young and naive, unable to manage the court, while Emperor Hong remains secluded, uninterested in these matters."

"The one who actually controls the power behind the scenes now is the State Preceptor."

"Even when the emperor was alive, the State Preceptor dared to deceive the sovereign and cover the sky with one hand, let alone now."

Martial Marquis Shao deeply sighed, unable to stop worrying about the future of Great Qin.

"Hearing your words makes my trip worthwhile."

Suddenly.

Qin Feiyang's voice echoed in the void.

Following that.

Qin Feiyang and the three beasts appeared beside Martial Marquis Shao.

Martial Marquis Shao was startled, asking, "Why didn't the State Preceptor find you?"

Qin Feiyang said, "I left as soon as I saw the State Preceptor appear."

Martial Marquis Shao said, "You knew he would search for you with his Divine Sense?"

"He wasn't searching for me; he was looking for his pawns."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and Ge Yong and that maid appeared in front of Martial Marquis Shao.

Both of them had their Qi Sea shattered, covered in blood.

Martial Marquis Shao examined Ge Yong, asking in surprise, "Who is he?"

Qin Feiyang said, "He was that guard who reported to you earlier."

"How could this happen?"

Martial Marquis Shao's face was stupefied.

"While bringing me to meet you, he questioned my identity and my purpose for seeking you halfway through. At that time, I already felt that he was suspicious."

"Sure enough, when I crippled his Qi Sea and questioned him, he turned out to be someone from the State Preceptor."

Qin Feiyang said.

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Martial Marquis Shao was furious.

The green-clad woman asked, "Then how did you know this maid had issues?"

Qin Feiyang asked, "Do you remember when we first met just now?"

The green-clad woman nodded.

"At that time, there was a trace of killing intent when she looked at me."

"But then, she hid it well, and I couldn't determine which maid that killing intent came from."

"However, the appearance of killing intent means that there must be a problem with one of them."

Qin Feiyang said.

"Killing intent?"

The green-clad woman was stunned and said, "Then why didn't I sense it?"

"Uh!"

Qin Feiyang was at a loss and didn't know how to respond.

Martial Marquis Shao said helplessly, "Cai'er, don't be ridiculous. You and Qin Feiyang are not on the same level. The things he can detect, even I might not be able to, let alone you."

The green-clad woman gave a sheepish smile and then stared fixedly at Qin Feiyang, her eye full of curiosity.

What kind of man is this?

"Hoo!"

Martial Marquis Shao took a deep breath and bowed to Qin Feiyang, saying, "Thank you. If not for you, I might have never known that there were two biting dogs lurking around me until my death."

Martial Marquis Shao was also a smart man. After learning about the two's identities, he knew the State Preceptor's intentions.

Qin Feiyang essentially saved his life.

No.

He saved his entire Marquis estate.

"It was just a small effort."

Qin Feiyang said with a faint smile, looking toward the other maid.

"So how do we deal with them now?"

Martial Marquis Shao glanced at Ge Yong and the other, then looked at Qin Feiyang and asked.

Qin Feiyang said faintly, "You can handle them however you wish."

"These damned bastards should be thrown into the lake to feed the fish!"

Martial Marquis Shao's eyes flashed with killing intent, and his hands violently reached out, directly snapping Ge Yong and the other's necks, then tossing them into the lake as if disposing of trash.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the lake, then looked at the other maid again, saying, "She cannot be kept either!"

The maid's face changed, quickly running behind the green-clad woman, looking at Qin Feiyang in terror.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

The green-clad woman comforted, then glared at Qin Feiyang, saying, "Why?"

Martial Marquis Shao was also puzzled.

"The State Preceptor has already set eyes on you."

"The death of Ge Yong and the other must have been noticed by the State Preceptor too."

"Therefore, he will definitely try to investigate this matter."

Qin Feiyang said.

Martial Marquis Shao frowned, looking at the maid and said, "Do you mean that the State Preceptor will target her?"

"Correct."

"Until the last moment, the State Preceptor wouldn't dare to harm you and your daughter, which leaves her as the only one who knows about it."

Qin Feiyang said.

The green-clad woman said, "Rest assured, she won't say anything."

"Yes, yes, I will keep my mouth shut."

The maid nodded repeatedly.

Qin Feiyang looked at the maid and said, "When you fall into the State Preceptor's hands, whether you speak or not won't be up to you anymore."

Following this.

He looked at Martial Marquis Shao again, saying, "You are aware of my situation now. If the State Preceptor finds out that I came to see you, you won't be able to clear your suspicion even if you had a hundred mouths."

Martial Marquis Shao's heart sank.

What Qin Feiyang said isn't without reason either.

Given the State Preceptor's tactics, if he finds out that Qin Feiyang has been here, he would immediately brand him as conspiring with Qin Feiyang for rebellion.

At that time, no one would be able to save him, nor his daughter.

With this thought.

Martial Marquis Shao looked at the maid, his eyes revealing a trace of killing intent.

The maid was panicked, grabbing the green-clad woman's arm, saying, "Miss, save me, I don't want to die!"

The green-clad woman looked at Martial Marquis Shao, anxiously saying, "Father, I assure you, she won't spill anything."

"Cai'er, you are still too naive. Even if we don't kill her now, she will eventually die at the hands of the State Preceptor."

"Now you can rescue her from us, but later, can you rescue her from the State Preceptor?"

Martial Marquis Shao sighed.

The green-clad woman blocked in front of the maid, adamantly shaking her head, "No matter what, I just won't allow you to kill her."

Martial Marquis Shao became angry and shouted, "Presumptuous! Step back immediately!"

"No."

The green-clad woman shook her head.

Martial Marquis Shao looked at the green-clad woman, his eyes increasingly filled with helplessness, and looked to Qin Feiyang for help.

Qin Feiyang also frowned tightly.

After some time.

Qin Feiyang sighed helplessly and said, "Fine, I will send her to a place where no one can harm her."

"Where?"

Martial Marquis Shao asked.

"Inside my spatial divine object, but before that, to be safe, I still need to verify her identity."

With that, Qin Feiyang took out a Containment Elixir and threw it to the maid.

"For now, we can only bother you with this."

Martial Marquis Shao apologized to Qin Feiyang with a smile and looked at the maid, saying, "Hurry and take the Containment Elixir and thank Master Qin."

"Thank you, Master Qin, for sparing my life."

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, then grabbed the Containment Elixir and put it into her mouth.

Finally.

The maid's face did not change at all.

Qin Feiyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't that he was deliberately making things difficult; it was just that at this moment, no mistakes could be tolerated.
