The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth

64. Offer Incense for Him

Tianling Mountain, Xuan Yun Sect.

“Master, has senior brother returned?”

“Not yet, Ke Xin. When he returns, you’ll naturally know. There’s no need to ask several times a day.”

“But Master, when will senior brother come back?”

“I can’t say for sure. The princess’s disappearance is a serious matter, and it’s certainly not as simple as getting lost. There’s a conspiracy behind it, and he might be contending with those forces right now. Don’t worry, he won’t be in danger. You should focus on your cultivation.”

“Alright then…”

In the days without Lin Nuo, Su Ke Xin felt restless, not so much worried about his safety, but uneasy because she couldn’t see him daily at Tianling Mountain. Moreover, with Lin Nuo’s handsome and dashing appearance, coupled with his exceptional abilities, what if he met a female cultivator from another sect, sparked a romance, and flew away with her, never to return?

From noble mtl dot come

Previously, under her senior brother’s guidance, she had made a breakthrough in her Qi cultivation and was eager to share the good news with him. But he had left to search for the princess, and it had been many days. There was still no word from Huang City about the princess being found, nor was there a clear deadline for Lin Nuo to find her. The wait felt like an abyss.

It didn’t matter how long it would take for him to return; she just feared he might truly fly far away and never come back.

But she was helpless, forbidden to leave the mountain without permission, or else she would have flown to Huang City to find her senior brother.

Qin Shi Li was also at the Han Fairy’s residence. She had returned to Tianling Mountain quite early. She had been on a mission, but it was too simple, and she finished it ahead of schedule. Then she went to You City to buy forbidden demonic texts. Later, she encountered Lin Nuo and witnessed him disappear in a violent explosion.

Listening to the conversation between Han Fairy and Su Ke Xin, Qin Shi Li had a hunch. Lin Nuo and the princess had already vanished in the explosion. If Lin Nuo had safely rescued the princess, with his sword-flying speed, he would have definitely returned to Tianling Mountain by now.

But Qin Shi Li had been back for two days and had not seen any trace of Lin Nuo, which meant her guess was correct: Lin Nuo and the princess had perished in that explosion.

However, she wouldn’t speak of it, as buying forbidden demonic texts was not a matter of pride, and it was best if no one knew she had been to You City. The news of Lin Nuo and the princess’s deaths would eventually spread, and it would be a time of sorrow for some and joy for others, but it would have nothing to do with her.

“Ke Xin, this child, her mind is all on Lin Nuo now. A cultivator should prioritize cultivation,” sighed Han Fairy, seeing Su Ke Xin leave the residence. She wasn’t against romance within the sect, but Su Ke Xin was still young, not quite mature, and it was her foundational year in the sect. She certainly hoped Su Ke Xin would devote herself entirely to cultivation.

As for a seventh-tier disciple like Qin Shi Li, Han Fairy didn’t need to worry too much.

Han Fairy turned to Qin Shi Li: “Shi Li, considering you’ve had many mission assignments recently, Xuan Yun Sect won’t arrange any tasks for you in the near future. You should stay and cultivate on Tianling Mountain. My residence has formations and spiritual grounds suitable for your cultivation, and their effects are comparable to actual combat.”

“Alright.”

Qin Shili coldly replied, staying at Han Xianzi’s pavilion was fine. She had already copied down the first few chapters of the forbidden demonic tome, starting from the basics to comprehend. On the foundation of maintaining a righteous stance, she gradually approached the demonic techniques, seeking a balance between the two. That was the goal she pursued.

…

Qin Shili made a trip to the Zishu Pavilion, partly to read books to cultivate her mind and character, and partly to meet with the Daoyuan Spirit Cat.

The warm sun shone through the call system directly into the pavilion. Today, the Daoyuan Spirit Cat was still lazily yawning, dragging its round body among the bookshelves.

Qin Shili took a few books from the shelf and found a place to sit down.

She gently tapped the table three times. The Daoyuan Spirit Cat, understanding her cue, dragged its round body towards her.

“It’s been a long time, Elder Daoyuan.”

Qin Shili conveyed her words to the Daoyuan Spirit Cat’s ears through a sound transmission technique. The spirit cat stopped in front of the table and responded with the same technique, “It’s been a long time, child. Have you been well recently?”

“Yes, quite well.”

Qin Shili nodded, “Elder, my junior brother Lin Nuo, can you tell me why you were willing to approach him in the past?”

“No comment.”

“How about his strength?”

“He should be very weak, but it’s none of my concern.”

“Alright, sorry, I was rude.”

“That’s just how I am, no need for apologies. Speaking of which, he hasn’t come by in a long time.”

“He’s dead.”

Qin Shili uttered these three cold words.

“Dead?” The Daoyuan Spirit Cat sounded mystified, “How did he die?”

“He was blown up. I saw him when I was out. He used a black scale stone to detonate and perish with the enemy. At that time, within several miles, all living beings were wiped out, devoid of life. I’m certain he was at the center of the explosion, absolutely unable to escape.”

“Oh, I see.”

The spirit cat was very calm, neither happy nor sad, “Then please light a stick of incense for him. By the way, ask him what fragrance he likes.”

“Ask? He’s already dead, how can I ask?”

“Just ask him face to face. Yes, just over there, you can ask him yourself if you don’t mind.”

The spirit cat yawned in a certain direction, and Qin Shili followed its gaze.

It was Lin Nuo, searching for books in front of the bookshelf!
