Qin Yichen was absolutely not acting on a momentary impulse when he established the Symbiotic Contract!
In his previous life, his body was like grass and wood, his heart like stone. He knew not what emotion was, knew not what love was, knew not what righteousness was. It was Feng Qianxue’s death that awakened him.
It could be said that Feng Qianxue was absolutely the most important person in his life!
[Qianxue, if you live, I live; if you die, I perish!] Qin Yichen looked towards the unconscious Feng Qianxue, his eyes filled with deep affection.
If there were no Feng Qianxue, then what meaning would there be in living this life again!?
“Uncle Feng, in order to help Qianxue successfully awaken her Martial Soul, I painstakingly prepared countless Fire Attribute medicinal materials…” Seeing Feng Wentian’s gaze suddenly turn towards himself, Ouyang Haotian’s heart skipped a beat.
Although he did not know what exactly Qin Yichen had done to cause Feng Wentian’s attitude to completely reverse, he knew that Feng Wentian had already begun to suspect him. Immediately, he hastily changed to a grief-stricken appearance and spoke in defence.
“Originally, Qianxue was about to successfully awaken, but this young man barged in and attacked me without a word…”
Ouyang Haotian’s grief-stricken appearance was just short of tears streaming down his face, which immediately caused Feng Wentian, who had originally harboured some suspicions about him, to feel conflicted again.
Whether it was Ouyang Haotian or Qin Yichen, neither seemed to have any motive to harm Feng Qianxue.
Perhaps, just as Ouyang Haotian had said, it was because Qin Yichen had barged in and the two had started fighting that caused Feng Qianxue’s Martial Soul awakening to go wrong.
In that case, the fault still lay with Qin Yichen.
Qin Yichen had originally wanted to speak up to remind Feng Wentian and let him know about Feng Qianxue’s current situation, but after opening his mouth, he still said nothing.
The matter of stealing someone else’s Martial Soul, if spoken of now, the Feng Family would not believe it, and Feng Wentian would not believe it either.
Because Ouyang Haotian had no reason to know such a Forbidden Technique, nor have access to it.
This was actually also a point of confusion for Qin Yichen.
How exactly had Ouyang Haotian learned of this Possession Technique!?
And furthermore, how had the entire Ouyang Family managed to do so without leaving any trace that even the Feng Family could not detect?!
This matter was absolutely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Therefore, Qin Yichen forcibly held back.
He did not want to alert the enemy!
Previously, he had already asked Prince Long Zexiao to investigate Ouyang Haotian, but there had been no results. However, now it was different. Ouyang Haotian had already successfully stolen the Martial Soul, so he would certainly reveal some clues!
“Before Qianxue awakens, you two must remain within my Feng Family. Both of you are not permitted to go anywhere!” Feng Wentian took a deep breath, suppressing the irritation in his heart as his voice rang out.
Hearing this voice, a flash of panic crossed the depths of Ouyang Haotian’s eyes. Logically speaking, after a Martial Soul was possessed, the original body would absolutely fall into a coma and eventually die as its life force dissipated.
But he did not know what exactly Qin Yichen had done. Although Feng Qianxue was still unconscious, her condition was undoubtedly much better than before.
If Feng Qianxue truly awakened, then he would have absolutely nowhere to hide. At that time, he dared not even imagine the wrath of the Feng Family!
“I must go out!” Just as Ouyang Haotian was thinking about how to find an excuse to decline and escape, Qin Yichen’s voice suddenly rang out.
“I said, before Qianxue awakens, you two are not permitted to go anywhere!” Hearing Qin Yichen’s objection, Feng Wentian’s furious roar echoed across Heaven. With just these words, it seemed to cause the earth to split and the sky to collapse. World Energy boiled and howled at this moment, as if following his command, carrying a terrifying oppressive force that filled this space.
Feng Wentian was indeed worthy of being the Feng Family Patriarch. Just this single shout revealed strength far beyond what other Martial Emperors could compare to.
Qin Yichen, situated within this terrifying oppression, was like a small boat in towering waves, seemingly about to capsize at any moment.
However, facing such terrifying oppression, there was not a trace of fear on his face.
[Continue! Continue seeking death!] Watching Qin Yichen’s attitude, Ouyang Haotian could not help but feel wild joy in his heart. The more abnormally Qin Yichen behaved, the more it would arouse Feng Wentian’s suspicion.
Perhaps, without even waiting for Feng Qianxue to awaken, Feng Wentian would directly deal with him.
At that time, he could swagger and completely shift all blame onto Qin Yichen.
As for Feng Qianxue?
To deal with an unconscious person, he had plenty of methods!
“Senior Feng, I must go out!” Qin Yichen naturally understood Ouyang Haotian’s delight, but he had no choice. Under this tremendous oppression, he cupped his hands towards Feng Wentian and spoke with determination.
Watching Qin Yichen’s attitude, Feng Wentian’s brows furrowed tightly. Logically speaking, someone so eager to leave would be even more suspicious, but on Qin Yichen, Feng Wentian detected not the slightest hint of guilt.
“Why?” If Qin Yichen died, then due to the Symbiotic Contract, Feng Qianxue would probably not fare well either. Thinking of this, Feng Wentian suppressed his anger at wanting to crush Qin Yichen to pieces and spat out two ice-cold words.
“Although the Symbiotic Contract ensures that Qianxue’s life is temporarily safe, if we want Qianxue to regain consciousness and regain her Martial Soul, this alone is far from enough.” Qin Yichen took a deep breath, withstanding the enormous pressure as he spoke with a grave expression.
“Hmm?” Hearing Qin Yichen’s words, a flash of surprise crossed Feng Wentian’s heart.
After all, he still did not know that Feng Qianxue’s problem was not with her Martial Soul awakening, but that her Martial Soul had been stolen!
Seeing Feng Wentian’s expression, Qin Yichen also knew that he was completely unaware that Feng Qianxue’s Martial Soul had been taken from her.
“More importantly, if we delay for another two hours, Qianxue’s condition will become even worse. At that time, I fear it will be impossible to reforge her Martial Soul! Senior Feng, I can help Qianxue reforge her Martial Soul.” Qin Yichen took a deep breath and slowly said.
“What!?” Hearing these words, a flash of sharp light crossed Feng Wentian’s eyes. Once Martial Soul awakening failed, wanting to awaken it again was almost impossible. Moreover, looking at Feng Qianxue’s current state, even her life was in danger, let alone reforging her Martial Soul.
If these words came from someone else’s mouth, Feng Wentian would definitely scoff at them.
However, behind Qin Yichen, there were too many possibilities. The Extreme Emperor Transformation Pill, the Nirvana Transformation Pill, and the Lu Ban’s Descendants behind him!
These things undoubtedly increased Qin Yichen’s standing in Feng Wentian’s mind.
Feng Wentian did not immediately respond. His expression remained serious, but the oppressive force filling this space had dissipated considerably. Clearly, he was waiting for Qin Yichen’s next words.
