My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 581: Scholars never tell lies

After parting ways with Deng Mo and Eunuch Li, Qin Feng returned to the Qin residence.

Enemies lurked in the darkness while he remained in the light. Wandering aimlessly would only give the enemy an opportunity to strike. Of course, staying in his own mansion was the safest choice!

Even though his two wives went out to cultivate during the day, there was still a big shot in the house.

How many people in this world could stand up to the Northern Ghost Head?

Qin Feng even thought to himself that he hoped the assassin was unaware of the situation and would take the initiative to come, which would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After all, the sooner he could eliminate his enemies in the dark, the sooner he could have peace of mind.

When he arrived at the courtyard in front of the house, the potholes and palm prints on the ground had mostly been smoothed out by Liu Jianli that night.

Qin Feng wasted no time. Remembering what his father had said and the various details he had taught his wives, he once again gathered Immortal Qi into his palm and pressed it onto the ground.

After a moment, he removed his palm, and Qin Feng’s joy was evident. The palm prints on the ground were smaller than before, and he was getting closer and closer to success.

At that moment, a gust of wind swept through the courtyard, accompanied by the sound of wings flapping overhead.

Qin Feng looked up and saw the Great Peng with golden wings circling down and landing steadily in front of him.

Qin Feng understood immediately. He had left for the Demon Slaying Department early in the morning and hadn’t had a chance to baptise his entire body with Righteous Qi.

After a moment, when the cleansing with Righteous Qi was completed, the Golden-Winged Great Peng pondered carefully and then asked curiously, “Why do I feel that there is less and less Ancient Divine Breath remaining in the body now?”

Qin Feng cleared his throat and looked away. “Could it be your misunderstanding? Or perhaps your strength has improved, so the same amount of Ancient Divine Breath now seems a little less to you?”

“It’s like pouring water into different containers, the same amount of water poured into a cup and a barrel would naturally give different sensory perceptions.”

“Are you sure?” The golden-winged Great Peng scrutinised himself once more with a look of doubt.

“You hurt my feelings with your words. I am an honest scholar, and scholars never lie!” 

“Speaking of which, Brother Peng, I congratulate you on gaining more strength. I’m sure you’ll soon enter the legendary realm of the Eight Calamity Cycle!” 

“When that time comes, when Brother Peng soars above the Nine Heavens and looks down upon all beings, don’t forget the help I have offered you.”

Upon hearing this, the last trace of doubt in Great Peng’s mind was dispelled. He laughed heartily and said, “My Great Peng Clan has always believed in repaying kindness. You don’t need to remind me of that.” 

“Since it’s due to the increase in strength, I can’t let up. I have to go outside the Imperial City to practice and consolidate my cultivation. If you need me, just send your divine thoughts through the Golden Feather Summoning.”

With that, a strong wind rose. Great Peng flapped his wings and soared towards the horizon in the blink of an eye.

When Qin Feng saw this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, he understood the reasons behind everything.

The Ancient Divine Breath was originally obtained with the help of the Fox Clan’s Heavenly Reflecting Stone, and it was an unexpected acquisition that was naturally limited in quantity.

And with the nights he spent cultivating with his two wives, most of the Ancient Divine Breath in his Divine Sea had been transferred to them. As a result, the Golden Winged Great Peng would have fewer and fewer opportunities to obtain it.

“I thought that guy wouldn’t realize it until later, but he realized it so quickly. Fortunately, I reacted immediately.”

“Otherwise, if this guy knew that there were only a few Ancient Divine Breaths left in my Divine Sea, he might throw caution to the wind and I’d be in trouble.”

Just thinking about this scenario made Qin Feng shudder involuntarily.

“But given the current situation, it’s only a matter of time before the Ancient Divine Breath is exhausted. Should I take the time to go to Tushan in the western regions to borrow the Heavenly Reflecting Stone?”

“After all, if I want to further increase the strength of my two wives, this Ancient Divine Breath is indispensable,” Qin Feng muttered to himself.

As the sun set behind the western mountains, the sky gradually darkened.

After finishing his midday meal, Qin Feng had practised in the courtyard without leaving.

Effort always pays off, and now the palm prints condensed from his Immortal Qi were only one finger wide, far superior to before.

But he also found that it was extremely difficult to continue to improve.

There was a huge chasm in front of him, difficult to cross.

Qin Feng had been prepared for this for a long time. Extreme Intent was a technique of the Divine Martial Warrior, and it was not easy for him, a Literature Saint, to achieve such a level.

“I just hope that with my current control over the Primordial Immortal Qi, it’s enough to awaken the Primordial Qi in my eyes,” Qin Feng thought to himself.

Just then, a clear voice of his wife rang in his ears: “Who are you?”

Before he could answer, the sound of the wind suddenly echoed.

Qin Feng hurriedly looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a red figure on the roof of the Qin residence dashing towards the east.

The figure was incredibly fast, something that an ordinary person would hardly be able to perceive, a skill that only a high-level Divine Martial Warrior could possess.

“Could it be that the assassin was hiding in the dark and was discovered by my wife?” 

Qin Feng glanced to the other side where Liu Jianli, dressed in white, was suspended in mid-air with a bone sword in her hand.

She didn’t decide to go after him, but instead waved her right hand and sent three sword energies at the fleeing figure from three different angles.

Although the red figure was fast, Liu Jianli’s sword energies were faster.

Realising that there was no escape, the figure suddenly stopped and turned to face the attack.

With a light cry, golden light instantly enveloped its body, accompanied by a sharp metallic sound.

The red figure unexpectedly relied on his physical strength to withstand the three sword energies!

“The Divine Martial Vajra Body?! With such physical strength, it’s at least at the Undecayed Flesh Realm, and possibly even at the rumoured Unbreakable Bone Realm!”

Qin Feng showed a look of surprise. He hadn’t expected the enemy to send such a skilled fighter after their failed assassination attempt last time.

As he fixed his gaze, he noticed that things were a little different than he had expected.

For that figure in red with a white-faced face, wasn’t it exactly like the dignitary from the Prison Department?

It turned out that this person was not an assassin, but rather from the Prison Department!

Seeing the wife frowning slightly, raising the bone sword in her right hand and about to take action, Qin Feng hurriedly stopped her, “Wife, wait a moment!”

Liu Jianli glanced at Qin Feng, and she naturally listened to Qin Feng’s words, so she stepped away. She fell to his side, but she did not relax her vigilance. She clenched the bone sword in her hand tightly, and her energy flowed around her body so that she could take action at any time.

The figure in red looked down. A sword mark had been cut into the cuff of the red robe, and faint traces of blood were visible on the surface of the flesh.

Beneath the white mask, the man’s voice came through, “The youngest Three-Star Sword God in history, truly living up to her reputation. With your strength, even if you were to serve as one of the Twelve Divine Generals, it would be more than enough.”

Curiously, Qin Feng asked, “May I ask how to address you, sir, and why you are lurking in the Qin residence?”

The figure in red replied, “I am Bing Mian from the Prison Department, acting on His Majesty’s orders to protect your safety.”

……

On the other side, Chen Nian returned to his own mansion and recounted the day’s events in the dimly lit room.

“This guy’s medical skills are indeed extraordinary. He actually managed to alleviate Deng Mo’s injuries.”

“I suspect that he’s already discovered something, and it’s even possible that he’s found out that the two Imperial Doctors died from the Return to Heaven Incense.”

“We must kill him as soon as possible, or the young master’s plan will be ruined by him!”

There was a long silence in the darkness before a voice spoke up, “I will inform the young master of this matter. Just be patient and wait.”

“Also, be careful in your actions. Don’t reveal your identity.”

Chen Nian shrugged his shoulders and sneered, “That guy has already figured something out today, but he didn’t come right out and say it. He must already have suspicions and precautions.”

“He’s doing this to lure us out.”

“Since that’s the case, I’ll send him an assassin!”
