Chapter 194: Dilemma



"It's all politics, brat. Do you think I can just expel guests? Moreover, they were people from the Fang family who were looking for Fang Lian. It's not possible to simply refuse," Lian Lin replied, who appeared inside the house in a second.

"What a funny nonsense. You just wanted to test my strength, right? Tsk, tsk. Don't do that next time, or I'll tell the Master."

"E... w-well, can we make a deal?"

Lian Lin awkwardly scratched the back of her head. Although she had been standing here from the very beginning, watching Fang Lian's safety... it was too careless!

"Treat me to the most expensive wine in your collection!" shamelessly said Xie Qing.

"Fine..."

***

After explaining everything to Fang Lian, who was still shocked by such a sudden turn of events, Xie Qing followed Lian Lin's personal chambers. As soon as the door closed, Xie Qing took on a serious expression.

"What a horror..."

"Hm?"

Lian Lin looked puzzled over her shoulder as she pulled out two bottles of spiritual wine from the cabinet.

Xie Qing pointed to all the mess in the room. Clothes were lying on the floor, ink was spilled somewhere, a complete nightmare!

"You are a lady. How can you live in such terrible conditions?" feeling a headache, Xie Qing asked, picking up a black item with lace.

Looking closer, it turned out to be a bra... hm?

"This is not your size. Are you engaged in theft? Return the bra to the disciples..."

"What? Th-this... I was just checking if they had grown..."

"That's impossible. At your cultivation level, the body size no longer changes..." Losing the power of speech, Xie Qing said and raised his eyebrow: "And why don't you just change the size of your chest? You can."

"No, that would be too desperate" Lian Lin answered directly.

"..."

Xie Qing lost the power of speech. Sometimes he really couldn't understand women.

Cracking his neck, the young man looked out the window. It was already quite late, and he was still hanging out here. Moreover, he had felt Xu Mei's spiritual sense several times. It seemed she was worried and looking for him.

Lian Lin also noticed this and smiled.

"I even envy you a little. The Master no longer worries about me..."

"You are already strong enough, why should she worry about you?" Xie Qing replied casually.

"And why not? Where is the maternal love, all the deeds..."

"Yep yep, pour into the glass."

Xie Qing rolled his eyes. This girl really loved to talk nonsense. They sat down at the table and clinked glasses. The young man drank the spiritual wine and was pleasantly surprised.

The sweet-bitter taste was just the perfect start, and the longer he held it in his mouth, the stronger the sourness became.

Considering that Xie Qing loved sour food, these sensations were very pleasing to him. Moreover, the wine had a delicious pomegranate flavor.

"Oh? Unusual wine. My tongue seems to have turned wooden," Xie Qing was surprised.

"Cool, right? It has the poison of the Three-legged Hedgehog in it. It's not dangerous for cultivators of our level and can only cause a slight numbness of the tongue, which enhances the taste of the wine."

"Well..."

Xie Qing didn't particularly like this, but it was worth trying at least once. It seemed crazy to mix poison into wine.

Although, apparently, Lian Lin enjoyed it.

"Sister, do you know the details about the devilish cultivators' spies?" Xie Qing asked after a short silence.

"Yes," the girl replied and, savoring the wine, continued: "After careful work, new devices were created to search for devilish Qi. This helped us discover many traitors... which was shocking."

"Our sect. Were there traitors here?" Xie Qing asked, and his voice became cold as ice.

Lian Lin glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and casually replied:

"Yes, two people. One elder of the outer court, the other an insignificant disciple of the outer court. Both were interrogated and when no useful information was found, they were tortured for several months and burned alive."

"Ho-o-o..."

Xie Qing smiled weakly when he heard what punishment the traitors had received. Although he was extremely indifferent to the sect's activities, he cherished this place.

Therefore, hearing that there were traitors here, he was very angry. Fortunately, Lian Lin had long dealt with them.

"But it's amazing. How did these guys hide before?" Xie Qing asked in surprise and added: "I mean... we had many devices for checks. And they passed through all this so easily... they must have some trump card."

"I'm not sure if this is the absolute truth, but... there was one pattern among those who were caught," Lian Lin said and leaned forward: "There was an insect implanted in their spine, resembling an ordinary May bug. As soon as it was removed from the body, the devilish Qi became visible as on the palm of your hand."

"Seriously?"

Xie Qing was amazed. Where was such an amazing insect?

The location of the insect on the spine was related to the fact that many spiritual channels passed through there.

"Were there any research results?" Xie Qing asked, feeling curious.

"No, none. These insects simply exploded as soon as the user died."

"Damn..."

The young man clicked his tongue. Of course, how could it be so easy? He felt a slight regret.

"Based on the remains, there should have been some results, right?" Xie Qing asked, hoping for the best.

"Not yet, but the work is in full swing," Lian Lin replied, raising her glass and smiling weakly: "We can only hope for the best."

"Haaa..."

***

"Did you go to Lian Lin?" Xu Mei asked casually as soon as Xie Qing returned to his estate.

He tilted his head, feeling a slight jealousy in his Master's voice. He approached the sofa in the living room where the woman was sitting and plopped down next to her.

"She promised to treat me to wine, so I didn't hesitate, heh," the young man replied with a light laugh.

"There it is..."

Xu Mei rolled her eyes and put her head on Xie Qing's shoulder. Her nose touched the young man's neck, who could feel her warm breath. He smiled weakly.

Gently stroking her beautiful hair, Xie Qing immersed himself in his thoughts.

***

Two days flew by like a moment. Xie Qing was busy training with the sword and meditating, so no particularly interesting events happened.

Now it was already night, and he was finishing his sword training. His forehead was slightly sweaty from the workout, which was surprising, considering his enduring body.

"Try in moderation, but don't overdo it," a calm mature female voice sounded behind his back.

Turning around, the young man saw his mother, Xie Meiling, who looked more beautiful than a hundred works of art in the moonlight.

Admiring her beautiful face, the young man nodded and put away the training sword in his spatial ring.

"Mom. Your cultivation level has improved a bit," Xie Qing said sincerely, smiling weakly.

"From your lips, it sounds like mockery," Xie Meiling said with a light laugh.

A few seconds later, the young man and Xie Meiling began to walk around the garden, enjoying the slight coolness in the air and the peaceful breeze.

Countless spiritual flowers created a beautiful picture and filled the garden with Qi. This place was definitely a paradise for every cultivator.

Inhaling the scent of the flowers, Xie Meiling looked in a good mood. The young man was pleased to see his mother's reaction. After all, this garden was his pride, and most of the flowers were planted by him, of course, with the help of a gardener.

"What are your plans for the future, my dear?" Xie Meiling suddenly asked, looking calm and serene.

"Plans for the future? Well... I plan to raise my cultivation level as much as possible, and then live a carefree old age," Xie Qing said with a laugh.

"Don't lie."

"Hm?"

Xie Qing raised his eyebrow, hearing his mother's words. What did she mean by 'don't lie'?

The woman looked into his black eyes, which were so similar to hers. She snorted, pinching his cheek.

"What an impudent boy. You dare to lie to your mother? I know you very well."

"Haha..." Xie Qing smiled and shrugged, not paying attention to the slight prickling in his cheek.

Xie Meiling shook her head. Considering that this boy was her favorite son, she knew that his heart was full of ambition.

A carefree old age? No, he would never be satisfied with that.

"You want to become an Immortal, right?" Xie Meiling asked.

"Eh..."

Xie Qing froze. He looked surprised at Xie Meiling, who rolled her eyes.

"It was obvious when you asked Xu Mei about the cultivation stages above Transcendence," the woman explained, looking displeased: "You're afraid that we'll feel the pressure, so you didn't talk about your ambitions?"

"..."

Xie Qing shook his head – this was not a gesture of denial, but just a slight surprise. After all, Xie Meiling was right.

With his talent, he can become the strongest in the world. And with the help of the system, he will be invincible for all eternity.

However, is there any point in this? A mortal remains a mortal. Immortals can kill hundreds of such Transcendence cultivators.

Although it was unknown whether there was a true Immortal World, Xie Qing did not want to give up without trying. Therefore, he was persistent and wanted to raise his cultivation level as soon as possible.

However, the fact was that he would have to wait. After all, except for Xu Mei, no one had enough talent to become a Transcendence cultivator in twenty years.

This was the pain in his heart. He had a choice – either stay in the mortal world until his women reached the appropriate cultivation level... or rise himself.

This was his problem.
