Chapter 167 Xu Tianhao
Chapter 167 Xu Tianhao
In the silence of the night, the temperature in the cave seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, and it was freezing cold.
Yin Jing and Guo Lingli sat side by side, and their breathing seemed particularly clear in this dark space.
Silver Mirror's gaze was fixed on the front, where Xu Tianqing's body was lying. Her face was peaceful, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep.
Yin Jing rubbed his eyebrows. He was really speechless about Guo Lingli's so-called kindness.
His voice echoed in the cave, with a hint of helplessness. Some things would be better explained to Guo Lingli.
She lacked experience and didn't understand why she was being schemed against.
"Do you know why I followed Xu Tianqing?"
Guo Lingli sat next to the Yaoqin. She didn't understand Yin Jing's emotions, but she felt that his heart was like steel, cold and ruthless.
Xu Tianqing was already dead, and he didn't seem to feel anything.
Hearing him ask herself, she tried her best to tune her mind to his channel.
"It's for the treasure map."
This was the only answer she could think of.
"Yes."
He answered in the affirmative.
"You know I am from the upper realm. I came down here to gain experience. The first place I reached was the lowest level, which is what people often call the first level of heaven."
"I happened to hear about the Xu Family Castle there, so I found their eldest daughter Xu Tianqing, wanting to know what this so-called treasure map of salvation is."
"So I chose to follow her. Who knew? She actually had half of the treasure map. And this half of the treasure map was fake."
"How did you determine that the treasure map on her body was fake?"
Guo Lingli did not take half of Xu Tianqing's treasure map, not because the treasure map was fake, but because she was not greedy. In her heart, she didn't want things that didn't belong to her.
"You are so stupid. A treasure map made of materials from the upper realm cannot be split into two, unless there is a special magic weapon. But I don't think there is such a magic weapon in the first heaven."
Silver Mirror's words made Guo Lingli think deeply. It turns out that some people can tell the truth from the false at a glance because they understand it.
"Since you knew that half of her treasure map was fake, why did you stay with her?"
"Because when I was about to leave, I heard a piece of news that the leader of the Dharma Sect, Li Shuntian, had a treasure map of dragon bones. I stayed with Xu Tianqing in the hope that one day she would send me to Li Shuntian."
After hearing this, Guo Lingli fell into deep thought, as if thinking about something.
After a while, she looked up at the silver mirror with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"Do you think Xu Tianqing will know that this half of the treasure map is fake?"
“I think she should know. But to her, this half of the treasure map is not just a map, it is the hope of her family and her lifelong belief.
If this half of the treasure map is fake, then everything she has done, her family, and her beliefs will come to nothing.
She was unwilling to face this cruel fact, so she chose to believe that this half of the picture was true. ”
Guo Lingli also sighed after hearing this. She seemed to be able to feel Xu Tianqing's inner struggle and pain.
"If this is true, then she is really miserable. If it were me, I would not be willing to believe it, let alone accept that the treasure map that destroyed my family and that I hid at my own expense was fake.
If this treasure map is fake, then what is the meaning of her family and everything she has done?"
Yin Jing stared at Guo Lingli deeply, and she really didn't find anything wrong.
He tapped her head gently with the folding fan in his hand: "Fool, are you still thinking about others? Or think about yourself? Why did Xu Tianqing mistake you for me?
And even though she discovered the difference between you and me afterwards, she still insisted on mistaking you for me? And gave you this half of the fake treasure map?"
Guo Lingli gently rubbed the place where he hit her, looked at the silver mirror in confusion, and asked blankly: "Why?"
"I think she might want to lure you into the game and use you to find her brother Xu Tianhao.
This half of the treasure map must have her mark on it. If her brother is nearby, he will definitely be able to sense it and come looking for her."
Guo Lingli was stunned after hearing this. She had just been feeling sad about Xu Tianqing's death, but she didn't expect to be told that all this was fake.
She suddenly felt as if she was caught in a huge vortex, and everything around her became blurry.
She looked at the treasure map in her hand, her heart filled with doubts and uneasiness.
"So there must be her mark on this half of the treasure map? Isn't she afraid of being erased?"
Guo Lingli still couldn't believe Yin Jing's judgment.
“If I’m not mistaken, she must have faked her death.
She faked her death just to give her brother a chance to get back half of the treasure map.
A fairy in her seventies or eighties, she still has some scheming skills."
Silver Mirror looked at Guo Lingli's incredulous face and found it very amusing.
If such reversals happen a few more times, I believe Guo Lingli will get used to it, and will not just look at the surface when thinking about problems in the future.
Guo Lingli was stunned. Tears welled up in her eyelashes just now, and the next moment she told herself that the person who entrusted her with her life had faked his death.
How could she understand that the danger was pushed onto herself?
Silver Mirror stood at the entrance of the cave, his eyes deep and cold.
He gently stroked the half treasure map in his hand, as if thinking about something.
Then, he turned around and placed Xu Tianqing's seemingly lifeless body and her treasured half of the treasure map on a huge rock outside the cave.
"We'll leave her body outside, and we'll continue hiding here and see who comes first."
He glanced at Guo Lingli beside him, and a hint of subtle sarcasm flashed in his eyes.
“That person is most likely Xu Tianqing’s brother Xu Tianhao.
This was also the original intention of Tongwu Immortal Lord, it was you who insisted on interfering."
Guo Lingli still couldn't believe that there were so many twists and turns here.
She looked carefully at the "corpse" lying on the boulder.
Xu Tianqing's face was pale and his eyes were closed, as if he was really dead.
"Are you sure she faked her death?"
"I'm sure. What kind of person is Immortal Lord Tongwu? How could he easily turn a useful person into a useless one?
She was forcing Xu Tianqing to take action herself and find someone who could help her.
And you are just an innocent person who got caught up in this situation."
Guo Lingli felt a chill in her heart after hearing this. She didn't want to believe what Yin Jing said, but she couldn't refute it.
She could only stare at the situation outside silently, praying that things would not go according to the silver mirror's prediction.
If this is true, who can she trust?
There was a sound of breaking air, followed by a figure falling from the sky.
The man was dressed in white, holding a long sword, and looked very majestic.
He is none other than the extraordinary man who ascended from the lower realms and is known as the best swordsman in the world.
As soon as he arrived here, he set up an external barrier to prevent outsiders from spying.
Then he quickly walked to Xu Tianqing, looked at her pale face, his eyes full of regret.
He placed his trembling fingers on Xu Tianqing's wrist, trying to detect her breath.
After a moment, a hint of despair flashed in his eyes, and then tears fell like rain.
He cried softly, "Sister, you have suffered."
Guo Lingli was shocked when she saw this. She didn't expect Xu Tianhao to really show up, and he was the amazing man who was praised by the lower world as the best swordsman in the world.
Seeing this, Yin Jing raised his eyebrows at her, said nothing, and just gestured for her to continue reading.
Xu Tianhao took out a soul-condensing pill from his arms and carefully fed it to Xu Tianqing.
He patted her back gently to help her digest the medicine.
Not long after, Xu Tianqing slowly opened his eyes.
He spoke intermittently: "Brother...treasure map...silver mirror..."
Fengyun Miaoren immediately brought the half-opened bloody treasure map to her eyes and said, "The treasure map is still there."
