Chapter 543 - Chapter 543: Chapter 535: The Origin of Xiao Qing (2/2)

“Silly child, there’s no need for thanks or such formalities between us. We’re like family, helping each other and together facing all sorts of threats, striving to grow stronger and survive in these chaotic times.”

“Right now, we should hurry and leave this place to prevent being tracked down by those with ulterior motives.”

Qin Niu’s thoughts were much more mature than hers, and when dealing with various crises, he was meticulous and calm.

He could foresee dangers that others couldn’t.

It was precisely because of his vigilance and caution that he had been able to survive amidst various dangers.

The fact that the Yao Family had once built such a grand Medicine King Tower in Elixir City was enough to show how powerful the Yao Family must have been.

The enemy capable of wiping out the Yao Family would only be more terrifying.

Although Qin Niu had now advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm, his strength was still weak.

The only subordinate he had taken in was just at the mid-stage of the Spirit Qi Realm, and he hadn’t completely subdued him yet.

If at this time the enemies of the Yao Family discovered that Yao Xiaoqing was a direct bloodline and had slipped through the net, the situation Qin Niu would have to face would be extremely frightening.

The best method was to hide their identity until they had absolute strength.

After all, Xiao Qing had been transferred twice already, first living with the Herb Picker Tang Qian for more than seven years, and then with Qin Niu for over a year. Now her identity was that of Qin Niu’s maidservant.

As long as they were careful, they should not be easily tracked down by the enemies of the Yao Family.

“I will listen to my master!”

Xiao Qing knew that Qin Niu was extremely wise and always acted prudently.

Following his guidance was sure not to be wrong.

“Remember, whatever opportunities you gained today on the second floor underground and what you know about those matters, it’s only known to you, to me, to the heavens, to the earth and should not be revealed to a third person. After this Water and Land Dharma Assembly concludes, we’ll find a way to figure out who the Yao Family’s enemies are, whether there are any survivors of the Yao Family, and then we will devise a revenge plan based on the enemy’s circumstances.

Rest assured, the people of the Yao Family will not have died in vain.

The day that either your strength or mine becomes great, that will be the day for avenging the blood feud.”

Qin Niu instructed her on what to be careful about and then slapped himself.

Puh!

A stream of fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He deliberately smeared a bit onto Xiao Qing’s face.

“Can you feign death? If not, just pretend to be seriously injured, and I’ll carry you out.”

Qin Niu said to her.

“I can!”

Xiao Qing, having grown up with her grandfather in society, was highly adaptable.

Without a word, she collapsed onto the ground, eyes tightly closed.

A picture of someone on the brink of death.

Qin Niu carried her, staggering as they ‘escaped’ from the bottom of the tower.

“Master Qin, what happened to you?”

Chi Xing saw that Qin Niu had emerged severely injured and was startled. He quickly came forward to help.

“The defensive array at the bottom of the tower is indeed terrifying, impossible to break through just like that!”

Qin Niu’s voice was weak, appearing seriously injured.

With Chi Xing’s help, he left with Xiao Qing in a sorry state.

Behind them, they left only a crowd of onlookers.

The pill alchemists who were refining elixirs on the first floor, along with the regular visitors, seemed to have grown accustomed to such sights.

Because there were often some who believed their strength to be considerable, attempting to force their way into the bottom level, ending up just like Qin Niu, in injured retreat.

They didn’t know that Qin Niu had already gained a great opportunity at the bottom of the tower.
