In the valley, a bonfire was burning, and the wolf meat was roasted until it was golden brown. The oil mixed with the aroma dripped on the flames, making a hissing sound.
Hearing Qianyu's answer, Qian Yuying's smile suddenly faded, and the pleading in her eyes was replaced by disappointment. She picked up the pen and wrote another line: "Brother Qianyu, my father is sick, very serious."
"When did this happen?" Qianyu asked worriedly, his expression tense.
"It's been half a year." Qian Yuying continued to write, and then wrote: "Half a year ago, my father's physical condition became strange, but it was nothing serious at that time, so he didn't care, thinking that he would be recuperated after a while.
It will get better.”
"However, with the passage of time, my father's condition not only did not improve, but became more serious. All the first-grade spirit gathering masters in the city have treated my father, but they have no specific countermeasures. They also said..."
"What did you say?" Qianyu looked at Qian Yuying and motioned for her to continue writing.
Qian Yuying frowned and wrote: "Based on my father's condition, he has at most two months left to live."
Qianyu's face froze. This news was like a bolt from the blue, which kept him calm for a long time. After being silent for a long time, he asked: "Yuying, is there no way to save my adoptive father's condition?"
"Yes." Qian Yuying nodded, struggled to say a word, then stretched out two fingers and stammered: "Ju...Ju...Ling..."
"Second-grade Spirit Gathering Master?" Qianyu was startled again, and his expression became gloomy. There are many cultivators who can become Spirit Gathering Masters, but most of them are first-grade Spirit Gathering Masters. There are no second-grade Spirit Gathering Masters in Qingyan City.
The Qianlong Empire is vast and rich in resources. There are millions of cultivators. There are hundreds of thousands of people who can become first-grade spiritual gathering masters. However, there are very few second-grade spiritual gathering masters and above. Every spiritual gathering master will be eliminated by his family or
The sect forces are trying their best to win over the spirit gathering master. The higher the level of the spirit gathering master, the higher the status he will get. It is said that with the status of a third-grade spirit gathering master, he can be on an equal footing with the emperor of the Qianlong Empire!
"Yes." Qian Yuying also knew what this meant. There was deep sadness on her pretty face, and tears filled the corners of her eyes.
"Yuying, don't worry too much. Everything will get better. Eat something first. The meat will be burnt just talking." Seeing the moist corners of Qian Yuying's eyes, Qianyu felt very uncomfortable and could only say
He forced a smile, comforted her, and at the same time handed her a piece of fragrant wolf meat.
Qian Yuying wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, took the wolf meat with a wry smile, and looked at the golden pieces of meat, but she couldn't think about it at all.
"Brother Qianyu, how are you doing recently?" Qian Yuying wrote.
Qianyu ate the meat and replied while eating: "It's not bad. I eat meat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm thirsty, and sleep when I'm sleepy. It's unrestricted and comfortable."
"Are you feeling well?"
"...It's okay." After hesitating for a while, Qianyu grinned, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile.
"In the past two years, have you found a way to break the "dead orifice"?" Qian Yuying asked.
Qianyu's movements suddenly stopped, and his expression became much more solemn. He put down the wolf meat and spread the palm of his right hand. Under the light of the fire, you could see that there was a black spot the size of a thumb on the palm of his hand.
"In the past two years, I have tried countless methods, but the "dead orifice" in my body is impregnable and cannot be opened at all. This "dead orifice" not only seals the orifice of my Dantian, but also continuously sucks my life.
Energy, in two years, my strength has declined sharply, from the first level of the Solid Yuan Realm to the third level of the Ju Yuan Realm, and my appearance has also begun to age. It's really disgusting!" Speaking of this, Qian Yu was a little excited. If it weren't for this harm,
How could he be in such a state of desolation if he had a "dead orifice"?
"Brother Qianyu, don't lose heart, there will definitely be a way." Qian Yuying wrote.
"Two years ago, you were the number one genius in Qingyan City. At that time, you were extremely famous and a role model for countless boys and girls. I believe that with your talent, you will be able to break the "dead aperture" and regain your glory." Qian Qian
Yuying's eyes were firm, and she felt inexplicably sad when she looked at the young man in front of her who was about the same age as her but had grown a beard and had wrinkles on his face.
"Regaining glory..." Qianyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "Look at me now, whether I can survive or not is a problem. The passion back then has been exhausted in the past two years."
After saying that, Qianyu continued to eat meat and stopped talking about this topic.
Qian Yuying knew that this was Qianyu’s pain point, and further chatting would only make Qianyu sad, so she changed the topic and wrote: "Brother Qianyu, Qianjia’s coming-of-age ceremony will be in half a month, do you have any ideas?
?”
"Adult ceremony..." Qianyu murmured to himself, lost in thought. This is a ceremony unique to the Qian family. It is more of a competition than a ceremony. The younger generation in the family can show off their skills and prove themselves. Participate in the adult ceremony.
The minimum requirement for the ceremony is to reach the fourth level of Juyuan Realm or above. Now, he is not even qualified to participate, right?
"Give me some time, I need to think about it carefully." Qianyu smiled bitterly, but did not give a clear answer.
Qian Yuying nodded, she could understand Qian Yu's mood.
"By the way, Yuying, you didn't tell anyone else about me, right?" Qianyu asked suddenly.
Qian Yuying quickly shook her head and wrote: "Except me and my adoptive father, no one knows about you."
Qianyu smiled with satisfaction and said: "Yuying, what is the Great Elder's attitude towards you?"
"As usual, he has a straight face and is very cold. He has always been brooding about the incident two years ago."
"That old guy, if his son hadn't cut off half of your tongue two years ago, you wouldn't be like this. Moreover, his son was lecherous and deserved to die. Also, this old guy is dark-minded and cunning.
Ruhu, you have to be careful." Qianyu said seriously.
Qian Yuying remembered everything in her heart. After Qian Yu filled her stomach, she planned to escort Qian Yuying back to Qingyan City.
There are many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts in the Necromancer Abyss, as well as miasma and ferocious birds. It is a forbidden area for ordinary humans and monks. The valley where Qianyu is located is located on the outskirts of the Necromancer Abyss. The level of the ferocious beasts is not high, but for the two of them, it is still
It can pose a threat to them, not to mention that night is the time when ferocious beasts appear. It is too risky for Qian Yuying to travel alone in the ancient forest. Qian Yu has lived here for two years and is very familiar with the environment here.
Being escorted by him can minimize the risk.
Under Qianyu's guidance, Qian Yuying left the Dead Soul Abyss without any danger. Qianyu escorted her all the way until she was about a kilometer away from the entrance of Qingyan City.
"Let's stop here, I can't go any further." Qianyu paused, staring at the brightly lit Qingyan City, and said in a deep voice.
"Qian...Yu...Brother...Brother...protect...you." It took Qian Yuying a long time to say a complete sentence.
"You too." Qianyu smiled and said goodbye. After a pause, he said softly: "Yuying, I promise you, before the adult ceremony is carried out, no matter what, I will come back."
"I...wait...for you." Under the moonlight, Qian Yuying smiled happily, her smile as bright as a flower. She immediately turned and left, walking towards the entrance of Qingyan City, gradually disappearing from Qianyu's sight. (To be continued)
