Chapter 748 Cemetery
Lin Zhao listened without saying a word. Along the way, Huang Yue told him about some things she had seen about Qu Shu. When they reached the gate of the courtyard, Huang Yue looked at Lin Zhao with a complicated expression.
"Qu Shu has had a very difficult time these years. He almost lost all his immortal bones in order to go to the lower world. If I hadn't secretly covered it up for him, this child wouldn't have lived to this age. At first I didn't understand why he wanted to go to the lower world, but now I understand a little bit. He wanted to find you."
To be able to make Qu Shu, a man full of tricks, do this, Huang Yue doesn't believe that Qu Shu is taking advantage of Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao nodded: "I understand."
After Huang Yue left, Lin Zhao entered the room, propped up his head, looked ahead, and said, "I've been following you for so long, it's time for me to come out."
The next moment, a young man with silver eyes and black hair appeared in front of her.
After not seeing each other for many years, Lin Zhao felt that the other party's trouble had worsened. What others said about Tianfeng being the most beautiful beast in the world of cultivation did make some sense.
Su Bai's handsomeness is as exquisite and beautiful as a fairy, and it is difficult to tell whether he is androgynous; Ning Wengui is frail, with a delicate and elegant sense of fragility; Qu Shu is cold and peerless, indifferent and introverted.
It was difficult for Lin Zhao to rank their beauties, but at this moment, Qu Shu's increasingly cold temperament made Lin Zhao wonder if he had cultivated the same ruthless way as Ning Xian.
At least one could still see a hint of smile on Ning Xian's face, but there wasn't even a trace of emotion on Qu Shu's face.
In Lin Zhao's sight, Qu Shu, who came uninvited, sat down on a chair not far from her very consciously and looked at her.
"Thank you for this time."
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "I promised you before, and I will not break my promise."
After saying this, Lin Zhao instinctively felt that she should say something else, such as I haven't seen you for all these years, how are you doing, or I heard that you didn't have a good life in your early years, and wondered if your clan still ignores you.
But when these words came to her lips, Lin Zhao felt that they were inappropriate.
Firstly, they had been engaged in the past, and even if it was cancelled, combined with the memories of her previous life and the existence of the engagement, Lin Zhao could feel that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat subtle and awkward.
Secondly, Lin Zhao already had a Taoist partner, Su Bai. Even if Su Bai acknowledged the existence of Ning Wengui and had told her about Qu Shu before, Lin Zhao didn't think that someone like Qu Shu, who put his career above everything else, would think about these things. Moreover, Lin Zhao also had to consider Ning Wengui and Mumu.
Finally, there is Lin Zhao herself. Her sympathy for Qu Shu went beyond the love between a man and a woman in the eyes of others.
How can a child who has been without parents since childhood grow up to this point when the clan is full of malice?
If Lin Zhao had not experienced the incident at Yunding Peak and the difficulty of having Phoenix Luck taken away, it might have been difficult for her to understand some of Qu Shu's difficulties.
But because of all these experiences, Lin Zhao knew too well how difficult it was to endure in such an environment.
At the beginning, I had the Lin family to rely on and my heart was firm. But I still had a hard time, so what about Qu Shu?
"Please put away that look of pity you have when you look at your son." Qu Shu reminded her suddenly.
Lin Zhao's expression froze, and he smiled awkwardly: "Really? Really? Hahahaha, there are some things I just don't know how to say."
Qu Shu said: "Then don't say it."
Lin Zhao: "..."
Seeing that Lin Zhao was successfully choked by him, Qu Shu curled the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly.
Lin Zhao, of course, noticed his change in mood and couldn't help asking, "How old are you?"
Qu Shu did not respond, but said: "But if you help me, it will be good for you too. When I get the power to lead the Tianhuang Clan, I will be able to open the Ancestral Phoenix Cemetery."
Lin Zhao: “?”
So many Tianhuangs didn't mention this matter, how could Qu Shu be so sure of taking power right away? ?
"It's not that I'm sure, but you gave me this condition." Qu Shu seemed to be able to see through what she was thinking and said, "Do you remember the Qianqiu flower you gave me?"
Lin Zhao quickly said, "That was not given by me. Your uncle got it by his own ability."
Qu Shu was too lazy to argue about this matter: "I gave most of the Qianqiu Flower to Huangyue to stimulate her potential, and a small number of branches and leaves were refined by me to give to my own life instrument. At the same time, I also asked the alchemy master of the True Spirit Realm to refine some elixirs suitable for my practice, so that I could advance so quickly. Of course, the disadvantage of this elixir is that I am now like this."
Lin Zhao noticed the flickering golden light in his pupils and his increasingly aloof temperament, and realized: "Is this why you have become the fairy beauty you are now?"
She remembered that although Qu Shu had a cool feeling before, he was still a cool and elegant gentleman. Now it was really...
Qu Shu nodded: "In addition, I have conducted many experiments on myself over the years. Although not many experiments have been successful, fortunately, the successful ones have had good results."
Lin Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Are you related to Ji Wantang by blood?"
They are both ruthless people who are capable of being cruel to themselves. Compared with Ji Xiao, Qu Shu and Ji Wantang are obviously more similar.
Qu Shu thought for a while before remembering who Ji Wantang was. "The next ancestor spirit?"
When talking about Ji Wantang, Qu Shu's eyes quickly flashed with sarcasm and pity: "She is just a girl of destiny who was deceived by the old gods. What does it have to do with me?"
Lin Zhao: “…” It’s over. Now they look even more alike.
I didn’t notice it before, but now Lin Zhao finds that they both have a sense of romance (shabi), where everyone else is drunk but I’m sober.
Qu Shu's gaze fell back on Lin Zhao: "Don't change the subject. Do you want to obtain the entire inheritance of Zu Huang?"
Lin Zhao nodded vigorously: "Of course I do."
Qu Shu said: "I can help you, but let's be honest. If I help you with this, you have to help me with another."
Lin Zhao said: "You tell me, I will definitely do what I can do."
Qu Shu said: "I want you to rescue my father and leave the isolated island in the far north."
Lin Zhao was stunned. She almost asked, "Your father is still alive?"
Qu Shu continued, "After continuous experiments, my Tianfeng bloodline is almost 100%, but my soul strength cannot keep up. My body is not suitable for experiments to increase the strength of my soul. My father is the one who is most similar to my soul."
Lin Zhao's scalp tingled when she heard this: "You want to find your father just to let him be your experimental subject?"
Qu Shu looked at Lin Zhao's serious surprise and disbelief with his silver eyes: "You don't have to cooperate with me."
Lin Zhao took a while to digest it, and then spoke after a long while.
"I can bring your father back, but if he doesn't agree to this, I won't help you."
Qu Shu smiled: "Then I hope we can happily complete each other's commission this time."
Lin Zhao: “…” Not a bit happy.
