Two years later, Qin Xinyao broke through to the late stage of foundation building.
Jing Yingrong instructed her to consolidate her spiritual power, and then Qin Hongzhi came over.
Qin Hongzhi has now reached the early stages of foundation building and is quite prestigious among the younger generation of the Qin family.
Without waiting for Qin Xinyao to ask questions, Qin Hongzhi took the initiative to inform Di Bin of his hiding place.
Qin Xinyao looked into the distance with a murderous look between her eyebrows.
"I'll go alone," she said.
"no."
Qin Hongzhi immediately expressed his opposition.
Qin Xinyao looked back at him and smiled sweetly: "You don't believe me?"
"I..." Qin Hongzhi frowned and hesitated to speak.
Qin Xinyao pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I know you are worried about me. But this is a private matter between me and him."
Her vision was a little wandering, perhaps she was caught up in some memories, and her voice became bleak: "Patricide should not be a glorious thing."
Qin Hongzhi was startled.
"That's it...that's all," he sighed softly, "You have to be careful. Even if you fail to kill him this time, you will still have another chance in the future, so put your own safety first in everything."
"I know, I know, don't worry."
Qin Xinyao turned to the mirror to reflect.
"Sister Rong, aren't you worried about me?"
Jing Yingrong shook her head: "Don't worry."
Qin Xinyao covered her chest and pretended to be sad: "You don't even worry about me. I'm so sad. I left and I won't come back."
Qin Hongzhi couldn't help laughing.
Jing Yingrong: "Let's go."
Qin Xinyao: "..."
Taking the shortest time to prepare, Qin Xinyao set off.
Qin Hongzhi looked worried and sat under the eaves, lost in thought.
Jing Yingrong was drying fish in the yard. She and Qin Xinyao learned the drying method together.
"Meow."
It's the cat that once appeared in this yard. Over the past two years, it has become familiar with it.
Jing Yingrong waved to it and squatted down. It trotted over and jumped into Jing Yingrong's arms.
"Doudou." Jing Yingrong called the name Qin Xinyao gave the cat.
Doudou meowed while looking at Yun Luo on Ying Rong's arm in the mirror and stretched out her paws.
Yunluo floated around, Doudou caught it a few times but failed, and became more energetic.
Jing Yingrong picked off a dried fish and put it in front of Doudou. Doudou immediately forgot about Yun Luo, hugged the dried fish with his paws and started chewing it.
Qin Hongzhi suddenly stood up.
Jing Yingrong hugged Doudou without raising her head and said, "You will be discovered by her."
Qin Hongzhi's movements were stagnant, "But I'm really worried. Di Bin is also in the late stage of foundation building, and has been immersed in this realm for many years. Xinyao doesn't have the advantage, and I'm afraid she will get hurt."
Jing Yingrong scratched Doudou's chin, and Doudou purred contentedly in her arms.
"It's injured and can be treated."
"Then what if-"
Qin Hongzhi did not mention that possibility.
Jing Yingrong glanced up at him, then continued to lower her head and concentrate on teasing Doudou.
Qin Hongzhi paced back and forth in the yard, finally gritted his teeth and made a choice.
He walked quickly towards the courtyard gate, only to find that the gate was as motionless as a copper wall and an iron wall.
"How……"
Qin Hongzhi suddenly reacted, turned around and looked in the mirror and said, "What do you mean?"
Jing Yingrong: "She said you would definitely follow and asked me to stop you."
Qin Hongzhi: "..."
…
Seven days later, Qin Xinyao came back.
She was full of evil spirits when she left, but she was calm and calm when she came back.
"It's okay, no need to look, I'm not hurt, not at all."
Qin Xinyao said this, but still let Qin Hongzhi look up and down.
"Thank you for waiting for me here." Qin Xinyao pointed out and stuck out her tongue playfully.
Qin Hongzhi confirmed that Qin Xinyao was fine. He rolled his eyes angrily and said sarcastically: "Is it hard for you?"
Qin Xinyao touched her nose and smiled in apology. She looked into the mirror and mouthed the word "thank you" silently.
Qin Hongzhi asked: "Has the matter been resolved?"
"Well, it's solved." Qin Xinyao suppressed her smile, looked slightly cold, and whispered: "I originally wanted to cut off his head and bury it in front of my mother's grave to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven. But then I thought about it. But he soiled my mother's grave and her eyes. So, I simply burned him completely with fire."
Qin Hongzhi remained silent. Then, he sighed quietly and said: "Now that it's over, the past is gone. The days ahead are still long, so you have to live well. If your mother knew you well and saw you happy, I'm sure she would also be moved by you. Delightful.”
Qin Xinyao nodded heavily. She sniffed, her eyes a little red.
Qin Hongzhi said again: "You should rest, there are many things waiting for you later."
Qin Xinyao was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
"What else could it be?" Qin Hongzhi said in a cool tone, with a sense of gloating, "Of course it is a matter within the clan. You, the candidate for the head of the family, have been away quietly for seven days, and the clan elders can't find you. I think I’m helping you but I’m trapped here and can’t get out. So, you can take care of these chores yourself.”
Qin Xinyao suddenly looked bitter and squatted on the ground shouting: "Help -"
…
Three more years later, Qin Xinyao has reached the perfection of foundation building.
It has been five years since I met Jing Yingrong.
In the past five years, Qin Xinyao and Jing Yingrong traveled throughout Helian Prefecture, and they also visited Changyu Prefecture, which is across the river from Helian Prefecture, several times.
They walked through mountains and fields, walked through water bodies, and hunted countless monsters. They also visited cities, visited villages, and explored ancient caves. They also participated in auctions, visited famous families, and met monks from all walks of life.
Something seemed to have changed in Jing Yingrong. It was inexplicable. In Qin Xinyao's words, it was just that she was a little more "popular".
Although it was only a very subtle change, Qin Xinyao felt more satisfied than anyone else.
"Sister Jing, can't you really save Doudou?"
In the room, Qin Xinyao and Jing Yingrong were together. In the small nest in front of the two of them, Doudou lay quietly, breathing very weakly.
Mirror Yingrong said: "Its life span has expired."
"My life span is over, is there no other way to delay it a little longer?" Qin Xinyao asked, holding back her tears.
Jing Yingrong shook her head: "If you delay any longer, it will only bring you back the light. When your life span is over, it means... it's over."
She seemed to be remembering something from the past, and her calm tone was tinged with a hint of gloom.
Qin Xinyao burst into tears.
"Meow……"
Doudou suddenly opened his eyes and let out a weak cry.
Jing Yingrong stretched out her hand and stroked it gently.
"Be good, Doudou." She whispered, just like she always did.
Doudou kept rubbing his head against her palm, whining, full of nostalgia and reluctance.
Then, at a certain moment, it lowered its head and became silent again.
Life disappears in the palm of your hand, as if you were on the platform trying to catch the broken light in the sky and then falling between your fingers.
Jing Yingrong looked stunned.
Qin Xinyao hugged her shoulders, and her suppressed cries echoed in the room.
