Chapter 498: The State Preceptor Was Attacked 3

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gongsun She spent a few days obtaining a special cursed talisman. The talisman was a specialty of a ghost cultivator from Dazhou. It was said that whoever the cursed talisman was attached to would be extremely unlucky for three days.
Gongsun She contemplated for a long time before deciding to spend some money to have someone attach the talisman onto Li Ruoxuan’s body. However, before this could be done, he saw that Li Ruoxuan was reduced to a half-dead state with his very own eyes. After inquiring a little, he found out that Li Ruoxuan had been targeted by an assassin and was “seriously injured”! This confused Gongsun She. Did Li Ruoxuan not ascend to grand master? How could he fall victim to an assassin and even get seriously injured…
Could it be an error of his judgment?
If Li Ruoxuan was not the grand master…then the person who ascended was actually the Head Grand Secretariat of Northern Liang…
As for the tiger guards called in by Li Ruoxuan, were they all a cover-up prepared by those two?
If that was the case, were they waiting for him to ambush Li Ruoxuan, then have Jiang Yeqian counterattack right after?
What a bunch of conniving bastards…
‘It’s fortunate that I’m experienced, and my quick wit has uncovered your schemes!’
Since he was on the opponent’s turf, Gongsun She thought carefully and repeatedly, but still did not dare to make a move…
The matter of Si Jin’s absence could also be a part of the opponents’ plan. They were waiting for him to make a move! What if Si Jin suddenly showed up and killed him directly?
After following the convoy for another three days, the cautious Gongsun She decided to head back to his country for now, and plan properly with His Majesty. Then he would scheme together with the guy in Junlin City.
The way of the universe was such that those long united must be divided and those long divided must be united. He was just a cultivator, there was no need for him to sacrifice himself for the sake of Daming.
His goal was to break through beyond the realm of grand master, and enter a new level…
If he was too attached to the mortal world, he would create a cage for himself instead.
In the subsequent journey, Li Ruoxuan instructed the tiger guards to watch guard more strictly, for fear that Gongsun She would take the opportunity to jump out and kill him. Little did they know that the entire journey would be safe and sound, and nothing happened. This made Li Ruoxuan a little surprised. What was Gongsun She thinking? The closer they got to the Capital, the fewer chances he would have to make a move.
Li Ruoxuan was not the only one mulling over this; Jiang Yeqian and Lu Yan were also a little puzzled.
Lu Yan sat in the carriage and started discussing this matter with Qi Qingyao.
“Do you think Gongsun She will still make a move?” Lu Yan was drinking his tea, looking at the glazed window and the scenery outside the window.
Qi Qingyao looked at him and glanced at the two children who were sitting obediently and eating fried dough sticks. Xiaobao was a little bored and sat rather silently. She said, “If he didn’t make a move immediately, then he won’t make a move anymore.”
Lu Yan asked, “Why?”
Qi Qingyao thought for a while, then said, “Because Gongsun She followed us for the entire journey. If he wanted to make a move, he should have done it before Na Lanjie’s assassination attempt, but he didn’t. This means that he was watching. But since Li Ruoxuan was wounded by a rank-nine archer, a meticulous grand master like him would begin to think about whether we were setting some kind of trap to lure him in. He’s paranoid and sensitive, and would even think, how could a grand master be unable to stop an arrow from a rank-nine? It seems impossible. He overthought things and became timid and paranoid, so he didn’t make a move in the two days after Li Ruoxuan was injured. So I’m guessing he won’t make any move again on this journey.”
“…”
Listening to her explanation, Lu Yan could not help but think about the information regarding the little lady from before. “Her brain is a little abnormal.” That little lady from five years ago was said to be so foolish that she slept with a man, gave birth to three babies, and still did not know who the father of the children was.
On the other hand, the current Qi Qingyao was so smart and composed that she was not even a little fazed.
Whether it was him, or Jiang Yeqian, or Li Ruoxuan, they were all considered to have “some sort of status”…
However, for her, it was less an issue of her looking down on that sort of thing and more of her never caring about it.
If it was this version of Qi Qingyao, she would never have slept with anyone five years ago, and would never have simply given birth to children for a man…
All of this had always made him suspect that they were two different people!
Alas, there was no evidence…
Lu Yan sighed, the person he liked was the current Qi Qingyao.
That was enough.
…
The two of them were alone in the carriage once again.. Although there were three children as well, Jiang Yeqian could not help but feel tense all over and started imagining things.
