Chapter 900: Chapter 91: Trouble Entrusting Life to Me_2

However, even so, the people from the various royal mansions still left behind a pile of gifts, exceedingly courteous.

Inside the room.

Qin Yitian was calculating the list of gifts and messages on the table, murmuring, “Chi Venerable sent thirty Blood Spirit Crystals, saying this is only the first batch, and there will be a second batch once these are used up.

But given the young master’s current situation, it seems he won’t have the chance to wait for the second batch of Blood Spirit Crystals to arrive.”

Qin Yitian had a housekeeper mentality, feeling a bit regretful.

“Then, of the over a hundred royal mansions in the Royal City, most have sent many gifts, mainly minerals.”

These past few days, Peach Blossom was overjoyed.

Pausing for a moment, Qin Yitian said in a peculiar tone, “The conditions promised by Shi Wu Demon Venerable from Mingyue Mansion have all been fulfilled.”

“Lu Qingshan, Ying Mingyue wanted to meet you several times, but you politely declined. Why are you concerned about this?” Gu Yiyi couldn’t help but ask gloomily.

Her little head couldn’t comprehend the great principles behind it.

Qin Yitian’s eyes held a smile, softly saying, “Because the young master is of the Human Race, humans and demons are irreconcilable, so the young master doesn’t wish to have too many dealings with the Demon Race, which is the young master’s principle.

However, she once saved the young master’s life; a favor must be returned, which is also the young master’s principle.”

“Ah, like that…” Gu Yiyi seemed to understand vaguely.

Lu Qingshan did not dwell on this issue, thoughtfully pondering for a moment and slowly said, “The gifts that should be received are almost collected; delay brings change, can’t be too greedy anymore, it’s time to conclude.”

He didn’t immediately give Ying Jie a response but waited leisurely for three more days.

As for the purpose…

To put it nicely, it’s observing events as they unfold.

Described bluntly…simply put, it’s fleece the sheep.

He managed this quite well.

Since Ying Jie harbors secret intentions, even dragging him for two or three days won’t cause a big problem.

At least before Shi Wu Demon Venerable announces the punishment for Ying Jie, Ying Jie can still continue to endure.

This, Lu Qingshan was certain of.

Human nature is such.

Thinking like this, he quickly wrote a message and had it sent to Hong Lie Demon Lord’s mansion.

“Time to go back.”

He sighed.

……

Hong Lie Demon Lord’s mansion.

“Today’s situation is different from before; Qing Ge has become the hottest figure in the Royal City now.

Even though you’re extraordinary as well, under the circumstance where the evidence is indisputable that you instructed Dead Soldiers to assassinate Qing Ge, your grandfather must give Qing Ge an explanation.

The punishment is roughly settled; you will be penalized with confinement at Blood Prison Cliff for a hundred years,” Hong Lie Demon Lord said to Ying Jie.

“Almost tomorrow, Shi Wu Demon Venerable will announce this punishment to appease Qing Ge.”

“Blood Prison Cliff…” Ying Jie murmured.

That’s not a good place.

At Blood Prison Cliff, the murderous aura cuts like knives, and in there, one has to endure the pain of murderous aura slicing the body at all times.

It’s a place where demonic cultivators train their Blood Fiend Demon Body, which brings considerable benefits to the physical body.

But for other demonic cultivators, the torture outweighs the significance of tempering the flesh.

“Sigh,” Hong Lie Demon Lord sighed, “No matter what, you are the prodigy of my Shi Wu lineage, the future Family Head, with the demeanor of a Demon Lord, only slightly inferior compared to Qing Ge.

Therefore, regardless of anything, your grandfather will try his best to support you.”

“This punishment is not particularly severe, so in other matters, he plans to offer more things to Qing Ge as compensation.”

“You should take care of yourself; reflect well at Blood Prison Cliff, time can smooth everything, and after coming out, you should broaden your mindset, don’t think about contending with Qing Ge anymore.”

“His momentum is established.”

“And although it’s said to be confinement for a hundred years, early release is not impossible either,” he added.

“I understand.” Ying Jie replied calmly, coldly.

Hong Lie Demon Lord nodded and did not say more.

After his father left, Ying Jie closed his eyes and quietly contemplated.

He was very patient.

Three days passed since he sent the message to “Qing Ge,” and he had yet to receive a reply.

But Ying Jie was still waiting.

Not receiving a reply for so long precisely proved its unusualness.

Because if Qing Ge really had nothing to fear, he would have already been upbraiding him.

Under circumstances where the momentum far surpassed his, being inactive actually showed a sign of apprehension.

“I can still wait, but before I’m sent to Blood Prison Cliff, if you haven’t given me a reply, I will have to report it,” Ying Jie muttered to himself.

He was greedy, wanting the Demonic Sword and even more.

But he had a bottom line, he would never let greed embarrass himself.

A newly understood Mang Cang Warfare Eighth Grade Demon Master, who will be soon confined to Blood Prison Cliff?

How ridiculous a thing is that.

Thinking of this, Ying Jie couldn’t help but chuckle at himself.

“Qing Ge… you are really remarkable.”

Although his expression was calm, his heart was in disarray, constantly suppressed.

At this moment.

A voice from the attendant came from outside the door.

“Lord, there is a message from Qing Ge’s residence.”

Ying Jie’s expression froze.

“Finally came?” he suddenly laughed.

“Bring it in,” Ying Jie said.

The subordinate quickly brought in a piece of ink jade.

After dismissing the subordinate, Ying Jie probed the ink jade with his mind.

The message within the ink jade was very brief, just one sentence.

“At the Hour of Zi, meet at the Mysterious Moon Platform.”

……

The night was as cool as water.

A spacious high platform, silent, empty.

It was hard to imagine that in the bustling Jian Luo King City, there would be such a desolate, sparsely populated place, like a ghostly specter.
