Chapter 406: How Can You Prove It?

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

West-Hill's Divine Skill was the most sacred and highest Taoist Law of Haotian Taoism. It was even called the source of all Taoist Law.

Unlike the Divine Skill used by the deacons of the Judicial Department, this Divine Skill was not specifically a kind of magic. It was a divine weapon given to the cultivators from Haotian.

The disciples on Peach Mountain who could use the Divine Skill were not necessarily the most gifted ones, but they did need to have the purest Taoist Heart and the strongest faith in Haotian.

Ye Hongyu, the Tao Addict, could use the Divine Skill because she satisfied both requirements. Though Prince Longqing's faith in Haotian was firm enough, because of his worldly responsibilities to the royal family of the Yan Kingdom, he couldn't keep his heart clear. So even though he was gifted, he could not practice the real Divine Skill.

For some reason, Cheng Lixue could not use the Divine Skill either.

So he could not understand why Ning Que was capable of using it.

That is, until he remembered the young girl who had been quietly standing under the big tree.

He knew the little girl, because that little girl was the very reason why the Great Divine Priest had led the West-Hill mission to Chang'an City. So he thought he had guessed the truth.

...

...

There was a house in the middle of the wetlands of the Academy.

Ning Que and Chen Pipi stood on the banks of the wetlands outside the house.

Maybe because Tang Xiaotang had been called away by Senior Sister Yu Lian to practice her skills, Chen Pipi was quite silent and looked at the floating grass in a daze. Suddenly he lifted his head, looked at Ning Que and said, ”That Divine Light came from the knife.”

Ning Que knew what he wanted to say. After a moment of silence, he suggested, ”A special Taoist skill?”

Chen Pipi shook his head and said, ”The West-Hill Divine Skill is fundamentally different from that.”

Ning Que lowered and suggested once again, ”I used the Divine Talisman in advance to pour Haotian Divine Light into the knife, so when I wielded the knife, Divine Light shone out of the knife. Is this explanation ok?”

”Not so good,”

Chen Pipi said seriously, ”Your knife was surrounded by the Qi of Heaven and Earth at the start.”

”It was my first time. I had no experience,”

Ning Que said sincerely, ”There will be no more such mistakes.”

Chen Pipi mockingly asked, ”Do you think you can deceive the world forever?”

Ning Que retorted back, ”Even if someone sensed the problem, who could find any proof?”

Chen Pipi thought for a moment, then shook his head and replied, ”No one, so far.”

Ning Que said in relief, ”Then don't worry.”

Suddenly, a fearful howl came from the courtyard, then no more sound came. It was silent again. The two fellow disciples looked at each other, then turned and walked into the house.

Within a secluded room of the house.

The old lady wearing a blue coat looked at Liu Yiqing, who was rolling on the bed in great pain. She shook her head, then took the medical equipment back into her pocket. She said, ”There's nothing more I can do.”

Second Brother nodded slightly and said, ”Thank you.”

Ning Que and Chen Pipi opened the door and came in.

Liu Yiqing bit his teeth to resist the pain in his eyes. He clutched the wooden bar near the bed tightly. He yelled as he said, ”What do you want to do?”

His wounded eyes were covered with a strip of white cloth.

Ning Que looked at him and said, ”You should already know what we want.”

Hearing Ning Que's voice, Liu Yiqing showed a grim expression on the part of his face outside the white tape. He said in a deep and dry voice, ”You blinded my eyes today, and you will pay for that later.”

Whether in a swordfight or a verbal battle, Ning Que was never a person who would accept defeat. He calmly listened to Liu Yiqing's threat, and then said, ”If you really want revenge, why wait? You can kill me right now, because you should know very well that I really want to kill you.”

Liu Yiqing was shocked by how Ning Que had so blatantly expressed his desire to kill him. He slightly stiffened in fear before saying, ”My eldest brother is Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword. How dare you!”

Cultivators were always concerned about their state of mind, so anyone, except for a barbarous person like Ning Que, who started to brag about his background was likely to either be desperate or was showing signs of a mental breakdown.

However, Liu Yiqing did have some hope and confidence.

The reputation of Liu Bai, the Sage of Sword, was far too great. Although the Academy didn't fear this person, it didn't seem like there was any need to infuriate the greatest legend in the world.

At this time, Second Brother, who had been standing at the side quietly, suddenly said, ”Since you are the younger brother of Liu Bai, please rest assured that the Academy naturally will treat you well.”

Liu Yiqing knew that the one who spoke must be someone of a high status in the Academy, and he might even be the rumored Mr. First or Mr. Second of the Academy's back mountain. He said sincerely, ”Thank you.”

”You are welcome.”

This was not out of courtesy. It was because Second Brother was a decent gentleman who did not want to lie. He didn't feel that doing something right was worthy of thanks.

Second Brother continued, ”I plan to let you stay in the Academy to heal.”

Liu Yiqing was stunned, then he asked with a final shred of hope, ”When will you let me leave?”

After thinking for a moment, Second Brother replied honestly, ”When Liu Bai sets Chao Xiaoshu free, I will let you leave. If he dies, then you will never leave.”
