Chapter 24 Feng Wen
After the day of cultivation, Yin Qi returned to Jinhua Hall with satisfaction. When Yin Tingxiu returned to his own yard, Tao Ying told Yin Qi a painful news.
Ali is dead!
Yin Qi couldn't believe it and said in surprise: "How is it possible? She was fine a few days ago!"
Tao Ying also looked regretful and said, "She committed suicide and threw herself into the Golden Water River on the day of the Gods' Send the Gods."
This is even more unbelievable. On the day of the Gods Sending Party, Ali clearly said he wanted to go to watch the fun, so why did he commit suicide?
Tao Ying knew what Yin Qi was thinking and said, "The place where Ali jumped into the river is in the west of the city. After death, there were differences in the body. It must have been because he had been humiliated before his death, so he committed suicide."
Yin Qi clenched her fists and suddenly remembered the "heart-drawing man" she met. Could it be that Ali also encountered a criminal? If so, she would have her parents' protection, what about Ali? Who can uphold justice for her?
Yin Qi asked in a deep voice: "Do you know who bullied her?"
Tao Ying leaned closer and whispered: "I asked the Tao family to check it out, but I only knew that the man was wearing the black robe of the Shenhu Hall."
Yin Qi's heart was a little cold. Is Yang Cheng from the Shenhu Hall? Is it because he is not interested in Ali on the surface, but actually he is planning to force him?
Aware of the hatred on Yin Qi's face, Tao Ying advised: "When the Gods' Send, most of the people from the Shenhu Hall came out, and it was impossible to find the criminal. Aunt Feng's family also gave up. Don't think about it anymore, just burn more paper money for her if you have time!"
"If I go and ask my father?" Yin Qi was not giving up.
"Your father?" Tao Ying snorted coldly, "Ali is just a low-level maid. In his heart, how could he compare to the warriors he cultivated?"
A little bit of good feelings that Yin Qi had finally had for her father disappeared. She was a woman in the understate position, so she could only end up like this after being bullied?
Tao Ying knew she was unhappy and said softly: "Child, you have to understand that we are in a chaotic world! Do you know what the places outside Zhaohua City have been like? If the county magistrate is still there, you can report this kind of thing to the government and let the officials review it. But now...," Tao Ying sighed and said, "It has become the prey of the jungle!"
Although Tao Ying persuaded her, Yin Qi could not let go of this matter. Even if she could not pursue the person who bullied Ali, she must know who that person was.
In the Shenhu Hall, except for her father and Yin Tingxiu, she only knew one Yang Cheng. Yin Qi always felt that Yang Cheng was inseparable from this matter.
When she arrived at Qingluan Pavilion in the afternoon, Jiang Yuenu also felt unfair for Ali, but she felt that Yang Cheng would not do such a thing.
“Why?”
Jiang Yuenu replied with certainty: "Yang Cheng has always had a good reputation in the city. Although he has a romantic time, he never involves good women. He should not be willing to do such despicable things."
Yin Qi also calmed down and thought of the little garden. Yes, she thought to herself that Yang Cheng should not be that kind of person, she would have done it long ago.
"You can ask him for help," Jiang Yuenu gave an idea. "Ali has some connection with him, and may help you investigate in the Shenhu Hall."
Yin Qi saw some hope, "You can give it a try. If you know who it is, you can find a way to punish him."
Jiang Yuenu smiled bitterly, not feeling that there was a possibility of punishing him. Women are too weak in this Yin Mansion.
It is not easy to meet Yang Cheng, because Yin Zhengchuan did not allow women to go to the Lingtu Hall at will.
Yin Qi was worried, and Yin Tingxiu gave her a gift. The gift was a pack of medicinal powder ground from white dragon claws, and the packaging was very delicate. Yin Tingxiu said that he asked Yang Cheng to find it from outside to help Yin Qi replenish his vitality.
Yin Qi was very moved. The white dragon claws were expensive. Yin Tingxiu was sincerely caring about her.
The first time she saw such a precious thing, Yin Qi carefully unpacked the packaging in her house. In addition to the unique aroma and flawless white powder, she also found a roll of paper.
There were others in the room. She found an excuse to send them away and opened the scroll of paper, with only two words written on it - Feng Wen.
Yin Qi heard Yin Tingxiu mention that Feng Wen and Yang Cheng were both Yin Zhengchuan's right-hand men. She had seen him when she first went to Shenhu Hall, but she only remembered that she was a thin and short middle-aged man.
Yang Cheng sent her, Shenhu Hall, Feng Wen, and Ali, these clues are connected together. Yin Qi guessed that Yang Cheng was telling her that the evil man was Feng Wen?
So what if it is Feng Wen? Yin Qi slowly tore the note apart, she had no way to do anything. Even if she had achieved success in the future, with the Three Forbiddens, she could not kill him to avenge Ali.
The next day, when Jiang Yuenu got together with Yin Qi again, she sighed: "Yang Cheng must know you very well before he will tell you this. He also feels very sorry for Ali's death!"
What's the use of regret? Ali is gone. Yin Qi thought to herself that Yang Cheng might know some other hidden information and really hope he can tell it.
With thousands of thoughts, November came in a blink of an eye. Yin Qi's grief diminished slightly, and she was just waiting for the opportunity to meet Yang Cheng.
The weather gradually became colder, but Yin Qi did not feel much more than before. The other spiritual disciples were wearing their previous clothes like her, and they had never changed.
The weakening of the reaction to hot and cold is a sign of the progress of spiritual disciples' cultivation. In the future, the seven emotions and six desires will weaken and the body will no longer get sick.
Yin Qi was able to use Qi Control Technique to drive such a heavy thing in the water tank. She was about to find a bigger goal to practice, but Lu Kang stopped her.
Lu Kang returned from another trip, and perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, his face turned pale and haggard.
He smiled and said, "You can't practice this way. It doesn't mean that the heavier the control object, the better the Qi-control technique. You are the master who can make the object move completely as you wish."
Lu Kang pointed to the target in the yard, "Preferring to archery practice first! If you can practice this thing so well, you will be qualified to learn water control techniques."
After hearing him say this, Yin Qi decided not to be eager for quick success and instant benefits, and returned to the shooting range to continue practicing archery.
An arrow flew out of the quiver and then sucked into the bull's eye. Yin Qi could already complete it in the blink of an eye. It was just because her cultivation was still shallow and her spiritual power was insufficient, so the arrow did not enter deeply and she could come out with a slight pull.
She was a little impatient and tried her best to shoot again. Although the force was much stronger, her accurate head weakened and she could not completely hit the bull's eye.
Meng Ping next to him covered his mouth and started to laugh. Since the God-Sending Party, Yin Qi and him became more familiar with each other. Because they were similar in age, they mostly joked with each other. This time Yin Qi said politely: "If you have something to say, don't be gloating."
Meng Ping quickly shook his head and smiled, "I dare not, I just think that girls should not regard the target as their enemy, it is better to be calmer."
Meng Ping always spoke like a river. Yin Qi just thought he was talking nonsense and didn't want to pay attention to it. Meng Ping kept saying, "You are too strong in seeking victory when shooting archery, which will damage your performance. As long as you treat it in your heart as ordinary things like eating and sleeping, you will definitely make rapid progress."
Yin Qi understood what he meant. The effect of applying magic is closely related to the savant's state of mind. A calm attitude is sometimes more important than the accumulation of spiritual power.
Yin Qi stood quietly for a moment, stabilized her mind, and started training again. As Meng Ping said, her control over arrows has indeed improved a lot.
Yin Qi sincerely thanked her, but Meng Ping shook his head and said, "Don't thank me, this is what the eldest son said."
"Do you know Yin Tingxuan?" Yin Qi never expected it.
"This is not surprising. I entered the museum earlier. Although I was not old, I had been in the Lingtu Museum for three years."
Yin Tingxuan was in the Tianzi Class at that time, so how could he have had an intersection with the freshmen in the Herbivorous Class? Couldn’t Meng Ping be the companion Jiang Yuenu had been looking for?
Yin Qi tentatively said: "Are you very familiar with my elder brother?"
"No, we only said once. Senior Brother Song Chen and the eldest son are about the same age, so they are real friends."
Yin Qi was shocked. Could it be Song Chen? Thinking back at this moment when she asked Song Chen about Yin Tingxuan, Song Chen did seem to be hiding something.
If it were Song Chen, that would be great. He was a kind person, and Yin Qi was definitely sure of this. Even if he discovered her and Jiang Yuenu's plan in the future, Yin Qi believed that Song Chen would not stop them.
In addition, what made Yin Qi even more excited was that they might be able to convince Song Chen to join the escape plan again and make him his companion!
