Chapter 64

Declining Li Weijun's invitation to dinner, Qin Yu entered the hotel and walked toward the room number where Mo Yongxing was staying. The two rooms were adjacent, and to be honest, he was not very reassured about entrusting Zuiying to Mo Yongxing.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Qin Yu knocked on the door for a while but received no response. Could it be that Mo Yongxing wasn't in the room? Qin Yu was puzzled and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly heard a voice from inside the room.

"Is that Qin Yu? Come in quickly, hurry up, if you don't come soon, I'm going to die."

The voice was hoarse and urgent. Qin Yu recognized it as Mo Yongxing's. Could something have happened? He immediately turned the doorknob, and to his surprise, it opened; the door was not locked.

"What are you sitting on the sofa for? I thought something had happened to you." Qin Yu pushed the door open and rushed in, only to find Mo Yongxing sitting on the sofa with his back to him, motionless, not even turning his head.

"Come over quickly, take this... take this sword away."

Mo Yongxing's voice was almost tearful. As Qin Yu approached, he burst out laughing.

It turned out that Mo Yongxing was sitting motionless on the sofa because a long sword was floating in the air, pointing at his forehead, with the tip of the sword no more than an inch away from his forehead.

"Still laughing, take it away quickly. What kind of sword did you bring back? It can fly on its own."

"Zuiying, come back." Qin Yu laughed and waved his hand, and the sword instantly left Mo Yongxing and flew into Qin Yu's hand.

"I told you not to open the box, didn't I?" Qin Yu lay down on the sofa and asked Mo Yongxing.

"Let's talk about it later, damn, I'm suffocating."

Mo Yongxing suddenly leaped up from the sofa and rushed to the bathroom at a speed that rivaled Liu Xiang's hurdles, slamming the bathroom door shut.

"Ha ha." Qin Yu laughed heartily at Mo Yongxing's back. Then he said to Zuiying in his hand, "Zuiying, how did he provoke you?"

"Ya." Zuiying's blade trembled a few times, and a childish voice echoed in Qin Yu's mind, filled with anger. Unfortunately, Qin Yu couldn't understand what it was saying. He continued, "Just scare him a bit, don't really stab him."

"Ya!" Zuiying responded, and the tip of the sword nodded a few times, indicating that it understood.

"Qin Yu, where did you find this strange sword? Can you put it away first? It makes me feel uneasy just looking at it." Mo Yongxing came out of the bathroom and saw that Qin Yu was still holding Zuiying, muttering.

"Hum." Before Qin Yu could respond, Zuiying, which had been quiet in his hand, started to vibrate again, as if it was about to go after Mo Yongxing.

"Alright, stop fooling around. Don't worry, I've already told Zuiying not to scare you anymore. Don't say bad things about Zuiying; he can understand you. If you anger him, I can't guarantee that you won't get a bloody hole in you."

"This sword can understand human speech? You're kidding me." Mo Yongxing had a look on his face that clearly said, "I don't believe you."

"Zuiying, say hello to him, be friendly."

"Whoosh." As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, Zuiying flew out and instantly appeared above Mo Yongxing's head, spinning and creating a cold breeze that made Mo Yongxing's hair flutter.

"I believe you, I believe you. Qin Yu, make it leave. I believe it can understand human speech." Mo Yongxing felt a chill on his head and quickly shouted to Qin Yu.

"Come back, Zuiying."

"Qin Yu, where did you find such a strange... uh, treasure sword?" Mo Yongxing let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the sofa as Zuiying returned to Qin Yu's hand.

"Guangxiao Temple. Zuiying is a relic of my master." Qin Yu stroked the blade as he answered.

"I was actually wondering how you provoked Zuiying?"

"This..." Mo Yongxing's face turned a rare shade of red, and his expression became awkward. He glanced at Zuiying and said, "I was just curious about what was in the box. When I got back to the room, I opened it and found a sword inside. I took it out to take a closer look, and it suddenly flew to my forehead, making me sit motionless on the sofa until you came back."

"Is that so?" Qin Yu's tone was drawn out, clearly disbelieving. As Mo Yongxing spoke, Zuiying kept making sounds in Qin Yu's mind, filled with anger. If Qin Yu hadn't held the hilt tightly, it might have stabbed Mo Yongxing.

Moreover, when Mo Yongxing lied, he, like his friend Long, couldn't look him in the eye, always glancing up or down, which was easy to spot.

"Alright, if you don't want to say, that's fine. Just be more careful in the future. If you don't provoke Zuiying, he won't cause you trouble." Qin Yu didn't press further; he had more important things to do.

"I have to go out again in a while. You can eat by yourself tonight, no need to wait for me."

"Where are you going?"

"I have something to take care of, might be back late."

It was almost evening, and Qin Yu planned to prepare some things and go to Jingxiu District again. He couldn't rest until the Long Yuan problem was resolved.

"Are you going to the Dao Tower? I'm going with you." Mo Yongxing's eyes lit up. After seeing Qin Yu's magical abilities a couple of times, he was very enthusiastic about this.

"Not the Dao Tower, I'm going to Jingxiu District again."

"Go ahead then." Hearing that Qin Yu was going to Jingxiu District, Mo Yongxing lost interest in going along. However, if he knew about the Long Yuan thread, he might have been more interested.

"I'll leave Zuiying with you. Don't provoke him again, or you might end up with a few more holes in your body, and I won't compensate you." Qin Yu warned Mo Yongxing.

"Ya." Hearing that Qin Yu was leaving and leaving him with this annoying person, Zuiying kept calling in Qin Yu's mind, his tone filled with reluctance.

"I have something to do that I can't take you with. Stay here and behave."

Qin Yu didn't expect Zuiying to be so attached to him. But this was the modern world, and Zuiying was a long sword. He couldn't carry a long box every time he went out.

Actually, Zuiying's attachment to him was related to his past. As Mr. Zhuge's magical tool, Zuiying had lain in the box since Mr. Zhuge's death. Over the years, Qin Yu was the first person to make him feel close, so it was natural for him to feel like a child clinging to a loved one.

Qin Yu left Mo Yongxing's room and returned to his own. Soon, there was a knock on the door, and his cousin Zhang Hua came in.

"Xiao Yu, I've bought everything you need."

Zhang Hua placed a bag on the table in the room. Qin Yu went to the bathroom to wash his hands, then came out and checked the contents of the bag: Infinite Water, Yin-Yang Mirror, high incense... His cousin had not missed a single item on his list, and even bought some in double.

"Let's go to Jingxiu District again." Qin Yu picked up the bag and left the room with his cousin Zhang Hua, getting into his car, which headed toward Jingxiu District.

"Xiao Yu, how confident are you that you can solve the Long Yuan thread problem?" Zhang Hua asked while driving.

"If the Hidden Dragon hasn't died in the womb, I have an 80% chance. If it has died, only 30%."

"So low!" Zhang Hua's voice rose, and he looked worried. "Why don't we tell Secretary Meng to find someone else?"

Zhang Hua was afraid that his cousin wouldn't be able to solve the Long Yuan thread problem and anger Secretary Meng. He felt it was better to keep a respectful distance from high officials.

"We have to try, no matter what." Qin Yu smiled bitterly. After all, Secretary Meng was Meng Yao's father. If he wanted to remove the obstacles to being with Meng Yao, he had to pass this test with the father-in-law.

"Even if Secretary Meng is a high official, can he force you?" Zhang Hua found his cousin's words strange. Secretary Meng was the top official in GD, but his cousin wasn't developing in GD. If things got too difficult, he could always leave.

"It's not about his position." Qin Yu answered and then closed his eyes, reviewing the records about the Hidden Dragon in the Zhuge Nei Jing.

"Just be careful." Zhang Hua saw his cousin close his eyes and added, then focused on driving without saying another word.
