Chapter 589: Chapter 249: Interrogating My Wife Under Duress
The room fell silent for a moment, Qiu Zhihe’s gaze grew cold, seemingly truly contemplating whether to kill Su Xin to silence her.
Qin Gengyun said to Qiu Zhihe, "My dear, do you remember what I told you that night? Rather than fighting to the death to slaughter the Zhenyang Sect, it’s better to let them lose their reputation and fall apart."
Qiu Zhihe was startled, recalling that Qin Gengyun had said similar words that night; in fact, Xue Wu had also said the same thing.
The best way to seek revenge isn’t to truly annihilate the Three Great Sects, but to disgrace them and let the Cyan Lotus Sect become one of the Renowned and Righteous Sects.
If we really want to do this, we must first internally divide the disciples of the Zhenyang Sect.
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes sparkled, "You want Su Xin to defect?"
Qin Gengyun smiled, "Someone like Su Xin has her own beliefs; she won’t align with anyone."
"We just need to make her understand that the current Zhenyang Sect is no longer the perfect place she had in mind."
"Once she realizes this, she will naturally make a choice."
Qiu Zhihe shook her head, "Su Xin is different from Wei Wan; she is as close to Tantai Mingyue as a mother to her daughter, so she would never betray Tantai Mingyue."
"Then let’s wait until tomorrow. When we arrive at Wind Bell Village, let her see the truth for herself."
Mo Xiaolan said, "I agree; since we’ve already left the Zhenyang Sect, it doesn’t matter if we never return."
Once the matter was decided upon, Qin Gengyun suddenly said to Liu Su, "You should accompany Xiaolan back to rest; I need to speak with your lady."
Qiu Zhihe’s expression changed slightly, "Husband, I don’t have anything to say to you tonight."
Qin Gengyun smiled at her, "Really nothing?"
Qiu Zhihe lowered her head, saying nothing.
After entering the South Demon region, many unexpected situations occurred both on Sun and Moon Mountain and Celestial Phoenix Mountain, and even at Cyan Lotus Mountain, revealing many flaws.
It naturally couldn’t escape her husband’s keen eyes.
Tonight, her husband was likely going to settle accounts with her.
Thinking of this, Qiu Zhihe’s body began to feel numb.
Seeing her in this state, Liu Su’s eyes widened instantly. Oh my, since when did the Saintess become so obedient in front of her husband?
Wasn’t it always the Saintess who controlled her husband?
Is today the day for the tables to turn?
Liu Su wanted to stay and watch the drama but was promptly pulled away by the perceptive Mo Xiaolan.
So, the room was left with only Qin Gengyun and Qiu Zhihe.
Qin Gengyun said nothing, just quietly watched Qiu Zhihe, his gaze intense.
For the first time, Qiu Zhihe felt uncertain before him, whispering weakly, "Husband, shall we rest?"
Suddenly, Qin Gengyun stood up, lifted Qiu Zhihe horizontally, and walked her to the bed, letting her down with a thump.
Qiu Zhihe’s brows furrowed immediately, "Husband, why are you so rough today?"
"Rough?" Qin Gengyun chuckled, "There’s more to come!"
Then, he turned Qiu Zhihe around, raised his hand, and instantly the room was filled with gasping sounds.
"You hid so many things from me; have you realized your mistakes?"
"I, I didn’t hide, oh dear!"
"Realized your mistakes?"
"Oh dear... I was wrong."
After a harsh lesson, Qiu Zhihe’s face was flushed red, lying softly on the bed, finally utterly obedient.
"From now on, I ask, you answer, understood?"
"Yes..."
Seeing his wife completely submit, Qin Gengyun smiled satisfactorily, asking,
"On the first night at Cyan Lotus Mountain, you asked me to train with Susu, where did you go?"
Qiu Zhihe bit her lip, her eyes shimmering, "Husband, can’t I not say?"
Qin Gengyun rolled up his sleeves, "Seems like you want harsh punishment again!"
"I’ll talk!"
Qiu Zhihe’s pretty face was flushed and dripping, said pitifully,
"I went to see members of the Cyan Lotus Sect."
Qin Gengyun was stunned, delightfully asked, "So, there are still survivors from Cyan Lotus Sect?"
Qiu Zhihe was puzzled, "Why are you so happy, husband?"
Qin Gengyun said, "You’ve always wanted revenge; I thought you had a good relationship with the Cyan Lotus Sect members. Now that there are survivors, you should be happy, as am I for you."
Qiu Zhihe looked at him dumbfounded, moved at heart, Qin Gengyun’s gentle gaze shifted, grabbed her chin viciously,
"Since you went to see fellow disciples, why didn’t you take me with you?"
"I..."
Qiu Zhihe was at a loss; she didn’t let Qin Gengyun go that night primarily not wanting him involved too deeply and feared Xue Wen might harm him.
"Not talking?"
As Qin Gengyun’s hand began to move downward, Qiu Zhihe’s body stiffened, quickly said,
"Among those fellow disciples, one of them has feelings for me... I was worried he might attack you."
Qin Gengyun was taken aback; he hadn’t expected that was why she hid it from him, but he quickly got over it.
For a beauty like her, having admirers is normal, eagerly asked;
"Can I take him on?"
Qiu Zhihe thought for a moment, said nothing, for Xue Wen though brash and mindless, had strong cultivation and combat power, a solid Nascent Soul Second-Layer.
Qin Gengyun felt frustrated, "Then wait till I can defeat him before you take me to meet him."
Giggling!
Qiu Zhihe couldn’t help but laugh out loud, Qin Gengyun glared at her, and Qiu Zhihe quickly lowered her head, becoming obedient again.
After a moment of silence, Qin Gengyun spoke again:
"My dear, are you really Qiu Zhihe?"
Qiu Zhihe’s body trembled, she slowly looked up, "Husband, what do you mean?"
Qin Gengyun looked deeply at her, "We’re husband and wife; do you still plan to hide from me?"
Qiu Zhihe was pressed under him, body weak, heart fluttering, mind muddled, her rosy lips parted:
"Husband, I..."
Suddenly, Qin Gengyun’s expression changed, emitting a chilling aura, his eyes glowed a stark white.
Qiu Zhihe quickly sat up, her hand pressed against his chest, instantly hearing a gentle voice beside her ear:
"Child, child..."
"Cyan Lotus... Sect Leader..."
"Master?" This voice was so familiar to Qiu Zhihe she blurted out immediately.
"My dear, did you hear it too?" Qin Gengyun looked down at her, and Qiu Zhihe quickly asked:
"Husband, are you okay?"
Qin Gengyun shook his head, "I’m fine, except your master’s Residual Soul within me sometimes sleeps and sometimes wakes. It’s not very convenient, huh?"
Ever since Nalan Yan’s Residual Soul entered Qin Gengyun’s body, it mostly stayed dormant.
But occasionally, it awoke and spoke bizarrely, like sleep talk.
Qin Gengyun had attempted to communicate with her, but it was futile as her soul wasn’t complete, her intelligence unclear, making it impossible.
But Qin Gengyun could clearly feel that when Nalan Yan awakes, she can see the outside world through his body.
Just like now, Nalan Yan saw Qiu Zhihe and suddenly became agitated:
"Child, child... alive! Alive!"
Qiu Zhihe’s hand pressed against Qin Gengyun’s chest also heard Nalan Yan speaking.
"My dear, your master can see you!"
"Qiu Zhihe’s eyes were already filled with tears."
So no matter what I become, Master will recognize me!
