Chapter 772 -237: The Secret_2

The Mingxin Sword Sect is a hidden Sect, filled with people prone to social anxiety. Even if they have some connections, they will not actively inquire.

So, Link had to personally get involved and attempt a night visit to Hu Suqi’s separate residence.

Hu Suqi is a master of Ancient Witchcraft, the founder of the “Witch Charm” organization, and its first Witch Master.

But where did her knowledge of ancient witchcraft come from?

Link had long suspected someone was behind Hu Suqi.

After all, among the two capitals and twenty-nine provinces of the Dayong Dynasty, this province is just one and is located in the southernmost frontier.

If it were not remote, why would Li Shuwen hide in Fuli County?

It’s only because of one Death Valley and the emergence of Governor Hu that this province’s significance and appeal were elevated.

Indeed, Link even suspected that someone was behind Hu Songqi.

Otherwise, how can one explain the source of her Evil Witchcraft and her confidence in replacing Hu Suqi to become the second Witch Master of the “Witch Charm” organization?

Governor Hu went to the Imperial Court to show his loyalty to Emperor Kangqian and let Hu Suqi and Hu Songqi venture into the Death Valley as proof of his determination.

For the sake of appearances, the court couldn’t imprison the Hu sisters again.

Times have changed.

Therefore, Link guessed that Hu Suqi must have returned to her separate residence by now.

Link gathered this from observing Brother Shi’s physical and mental state.

Lv Zu once said:

A beauty in her prime is soft as curd, wielding a sword around her waist to kill the foolish; Light of day sees no severed heads yet in darkness, it drains the marrow from the bones of men.

Hu Suqi is truly a beauty, more dangerous than an eighteen-year-old girl, she can be described as a wolf and a tiger.

In Link’s view, Brother Shi is most likely no match for Hu Suqi.

If not restrained, he would most likely be beheaded at her feet.

While lost in thoughts, he arrived at the separate residence.

This time, Link did not rashly intrude into Hu Suqi’s boudoir.

His status was different now.

Jokes about relationships like dumplings and sisters-in-law were not appropriate.

After pressing the doorbell, Link waited quietly.

After a while, with a creak, the gate was pulled open from both sides.

Link stepped inside, crossing the path paved with shattered stones and entered the main hall on the first floor of the separate residence.

Hu Suqi was already formally waiting.

“Greetings, Miss Hu. Please forgive my uninvited visit,” Link said politely.

“What’s wrong, do you still consider me a stranger?”

Hu Suqi cast a blaming glance at Link, “Isn’t it you who encouraged your elder brother to confess his feelings for me? Aren’t you going to admit it now?”

“Greetings, sister-in-law.”

This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.

Link immediately corrected his manner of addressing her.

“Now that’s better.”

Hu Suqi hummed a note and came forward to pour tea for Link.

The vacant teacup was there just waiting for this moment of acknowledgement.

Even though Second Young Miss Hu did not have a good reputation, she wasn’t a frivolous woman.

On the contrary, she was very conservative at her core.

If not for the changing times, she was planning to officially marry Brother Shi and move into a new house together.

This separate residence had once served as a place for her to practice ancient witchcraft and was not quite suitable for having children.

“Thank you, sister-in-law.”

Link raised his teacup and took a sip.

The act of pouring or not pouring tea is an attitude.

The act of drinking or not drinking tea is also an attitude.

After exchanging their attitudes, they began to discuss serious matters.

Link initiated the conversation by asking, “Dare I ask sister-in-law, do you know why the court is so hasty this time? Is Emperor Kangqian’s health not well?”

This question was about why the court was in such a hurry to enter the fray, pressuring the martial artists of Jianghu to risk their lives exploring Death Valley.

Under such intense pressure, even if the imperial court’s power was intimidating, it would inevitably lead to trouble afterwards.

Many martial artists are rebellious, upon seeing too many people die and realizing they can’t escape either, they might as well rebel.

If a strongman steps forward during this time, or if there are those with ulterior motives, it is highly likely that chaos would break out in the world of Dayong.

Even the removal of the royal family from the Golden Throne could be possible.

Hu Suqi looked at Link steadily, seeing his calm expression, she knew that he had intentionally chosen not to set up any sound barriers, to allow those who were monitoring her to hear.

Giving her eyeballs a quick roll, Hu Suqi decided to play along with Link’s game and bluntly said: “Because Emperor Kangqian is dying. Emperors are the most heartless people in the world. Now that he’s on his deathbed, if there’s something that could prolong his life or even extend it by hundreds of years, how could he not seize it? As for the world of Dayong, if he doesn’t get the Longevity Peach and dies, let the floods rise. If he eats the Longevity Peach, he will have all the time to reclaim the old mountains and rivers.”

“Is that really all there is to it?”

Link was skeptical of this explanation.

Hu Suqi was silent for a long time after hearing this.

The world cannot be separated from the two words of Yin and Yang.

The reasons for most things also have a transparent and hidden aspect.

What she had just revealed was the transparent explanation that the imperial court deliberately let out.

As for the hidden real reason, too shocking to be spoken of, if spread, it would certainly cause chaos in the world.

However, Link was a mysterious person, even if she doesn’t tell him, he would find out.

Moreover, there was Hu Songqi.

Hu Suqi had long known of Link’s discipline of Hu Songqi, forcing her to resign her Witch Master’s position.

She also largely guessed that Hu Songqi’s recent abduction of martial artists was for Link’s purposes.

With Hu Songqi stirring things up, it wouldn’t be too difficult for Link to find out the hidden real reason.

Thinking of this, Hu Suqi decided not to hide it anymore, she waved and set up a sound barrier technique and said solemnly: “The Astronomical Bureau Supervisor observed celestial phenomena at night and foretold a disaster that could overthrow Dayong would erupt in eight years. The only way to avoid this disaster is hidden in Death Valley.”

Taking a pause, Hu Suqi explained: “The Supervisor is the leader of the world’s Taoism, understanding ancient witchcraft, Taoist techniques, even the evil witchcraft, his predictions based on the observations of celestial phenomena, have always been accurate.”

“Death Valley? Eight years from now?”

Link mumbled to himself, lost in thought.

With that particular location and time, it was hard for Link not to overthink.

“How high is the supervisor’s realm?”

Soon, Link suppressed his thoughts and asked a very important question.

In response, Hu Suqi solemnly replied, “He’s the person most likely to ascend in this world, in terms of combat power, your master is far from his match.”

“Wow!”

Link couldn’t help but gasp.

After recovering most of his memory, he made a comparison. Li Shuwen’s combat power wasn’t bad among the Fourth Level Sages he had encountered.

All that fell short was the overall creative potential.

However, this was the limitation brought by his profession, not a subjective flaw.

The Astronomical Bureau Supervisor, who’s most likely to ascend and has far superior combat power than Li Shuwen, wouldn’t he be a likely Level Six Sage?

A suspicion sprouted in Link’s mind.

“Whew!”

Link gasped once again.

If this suspicion turned out to be true, that would be a big deal.

Looks like he had to go to Death Valley after all, and he had to be very cautious once he was in.

Even if the Astronomical Bureau Supervisor is not a Level Six Sage, there’s a pretty good chance he’s at a Level Five Sage stage and he’s eyeing Death Valley, must be on guard.

The mess Hu Songqi stirred up was getting bigger and bigger.

Link had no idea how the situation would end.

“Look what a mess you’ve made!”

Lotus Heart Boat, Hu Songqi’s boudoir.

Hu Songqi was kneeling on the ground, listening to a figure hidden in the shadows scolding her.

“I taught you Evil Witchcraft and told you to find a way to get the Supreme Secret Canon from Death Valley, is this how you handle things?”

The figure kicked Hu Songqi down and stomped on her face a few times, angrily cursing, “Where’s your brain? Didn’t you think before you acted? How dare you spread the news about Death Valley? Huh?”

The angrier he got, the harder he kicked, sending Hu Songqi flying with a kick.

With a thud.

Hu Songqi collapsed the sturdy bed and spat out a gush of fresh blood.

“Let me tell you, I can give you Evil Witchcraft and I can take it back! If you can’t find the Supreme Secret Canon inside the valley, just die there. Don’t make me do it personally.”

The figure dropped a threatening tone, threatening line, and disappeared instantly.

Hu Songqi was lying in the ruined bed, continuously spitting out unending blood.

After a long time, having finally expelled the clotted blood from injured organs, Hu Songqi, in despite of pulling her wound, broke into a wild laughter.

“Great…Great…what a great Governor Hu! What a great father!”

As she laughed, tears rolled down from the corners of Hu Songqi’s eyes.

But there’s a sense of happy abandon in her eyes!
