Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

He then composed himself and looked at Zi Nu, saying, "Zi Nu, please take good care of Hong Lian." Zi Nu nodded gently and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I will protect her."

However, what followed subtly changed the atmosphere.

“However, you…” A smile flashed in Zi Nu’s eyes as she turned her gaze to Lin Qi: “Last night, you must have enjoyed quite a bit of fun, right?”

"Huh?" Honglian looked puzzled. "Was anyone else here last night?" It turned out that she had fallen asleep due to extreme exhaustion and was completely unaware of what had happened in the middle of the night.

Zi Nu smiled and said, "Of course there are, but I don't know who they are." "Lin Qi, can you tell us who it is?"

Faced with this question, Lin Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he said with a hint of helplessness:

“That person is wearing a mask and doesn’t want to reveal their identity, so it’s best not to say anything now.” “I will tell everyone when the time is right.”

Changing the subject, Lin Qi looked at Zi Nu with a challenging tone, "Zi Nu, how can you be so sure that someone really came last night?"

"Could it be that you were observing from the sidelines at the time?" The other person quickly denied it, saying, "No way, I was just guessing."

However, judging from her behavior of avoiding eye contact, that is clearly not the case.

"Hehe..." Lin Qi laughed a few times without holding back.

At this moment, Honglian interjected, "Oh, it's someone else. I thought it was Sister Zinu who came... What a pity." She pouted slightly, seemingly a little disappointed.

Zi Nu was speechless upon hearing this.

She glared fiercely at Honglian, "What nonsense are you talking about?" A blush flashed across her face.

"Alright, let's go. I'll take you somewhere to cultivate properly." With that, Zi Nu took Hong Lian's hand, and with a light step, the two of them flew away as swiftly as eagles soaring through the air.

"Sister Zi Nu, you're actually quite interested too, aren't you?" Hong Lian's voice echoed in mid-air.

This sound made Zi Nu pause, almost falling over.

Then it sped up and disappeared from Lynch's sight as if escaping from something.

After seeing the two off,

Lin Qi also planned to pack his belongings and return to Xianyang City.

After all, Honglian has already left and won't be back for at least half a month, so there's not much point in me staying here any longer.

At this time.

"Da da da……"

Light footsteps sounded outside, and then Nongyu hurriedly entered.

Upon seeing Lin Qi, his eyes lit up, and he quickly approached, saying, "Brother Lin Qi, I have some very important news!"

**"Important news?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi frowned.

Nongyu nodded and said, "Zilanxuan has just received new intelligence from the Qin Kingdom."

"Rumors are spreading throughout the Qin Kingdom, saying that you have married Princess Honglian of Han and betrayed the Qin Kingdom."

"I... betrayed the Qin state?" Lin Qi frowned, and soon a suspicion arose in his mind.

A hint of anger flashed in his eyes: "Clearly, someone is trying to frame me with rumors." This was obviously not the first time this had happened.

His actions in Xinzheng City of Han have already reached the Qin State.

Although he made great achievements there, killing Ji Wuye and the elites of the Nightfall organization, indirectly weakening the strength of Han, which was a good thing for Qin, it does not rule out the possibility that some people will sow discord and spread rumors that you are not for the benefit of Qin, but betrayed Qin in order to marry Honglian.

Hong-ryeon's status as a Korean princess is undisputed, making it easier for ordinary people to believe such rumors rather than seeking the truth.

As a result, your image in the eyes of the people of Qin may have been severely distorted, and you may be regarded as a potential traitor.

What the public thinks may not be the most important thing; what is more important is the opinion of the Qin state's top leadership, especially the attitude of King Ying Zheng of Qin.

Thinking of this, Lin Qi turned to Nongyu and asked, "Are there only rumors about me betraying Qin? What has been the reaction of Qin's higher-ups?"

Nongyu replied, "That's true."

"According to the information we have received, a large number of Qin officials, including Lord Changping, firmly believe that you have betrayed us and have petitioned the King of Qin to send troops to capture and kill you."

"Also, because of your relationship with Wei Zhuang, some people secretly hope that Sword Saint Gai Nie will take action to eliminate you." She paused briefly, then continued, "However, there are also people who speak up for you."

"Your direct superior, Yao Jia, and people on the Black Ice Guard believe these claims are pure fabrication." "In the military sphere, it is said that General Meng Wu is also speaking well of you, indicating that he does not believe you will betray us."

"The current power center of Qin is embroiled in a heated debate over this." Upon hearing this, Lin Qi roughly understood the situation.

It is obvious that Changping-kun and others want to kill him.

Therefore, they joined forces with a group of colleagues to submit a memorial to the King of Qin, requesting that troops be dispatched to deal with him. The Luo Wang organization may also have been involved in this matter.

Privately, he even sought out Gai Nie, hoping to use him to help Wei Zhuang and eliminate [sensitive content, unable to continue output].

Yao Jia's visit to persuade him clearly demonstrates his high level of concern.

"Three days is enough, even more than enough."

Previously, Lin Qi's cultivation level was only Grandmaster, and his cultivation speed was not fast. It would take him two days to return to Xianyang City from here.

But now it's different.

He has reached the third level of the Celestial Realm, and his movements are swift and unmatched.

At full speed, he could return to Xianyang City in less than a day.

"By the way, Nongyu, when did this message come back?"

Nongyu replied, "Xinzheng City is far from Xianyang City; this news came a day ago."

"A message from a day ago?" Lin Qi frowned slightly. "So, Yao Jia has probably already arrived in Xinzheng?"

"In that case, I should also make preparations and set off."

“Perfect timing, I was just about to return to Xianyang City to resolve all my troubles at once!” With that, Lin Qi’s eyes sharpened, a cold glint flashing in them.

The time has come to deal with Lord Changping, Xiong Qi, and Zhao Gao of the Luo Wang organization! "Brother Lin Qi, let me help you pack your luggage."

"Nongyu said softly."

Lin Qi shook his head and smiled, "No need, I didn't bring much."

He is expected to return to Xianyang City within a day, so he doesn't need to bring any clothes or other items.

"Okay -_-" Nongyu pouted, somewhat regretful.

She originally wanted to spend more time with Lynch.

Unfortunately, Lynch had to go back.

It may be a long time, maybe ten days or half a month, before I can see Lin Qi again.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qi asked gently upon seeing this.

"It's nothing!" Nongyu hurriedly shook her head, having been seen through by Lin Qi.

"It's just that Zilan Pavilion has become too quiet since Sister Zinu and Sister Honglian left."

"Nongyu is just not used to it yet."

Nongyu lowered her head slightly, her fingers fiddling with something.

Lin Qi paused for a moment, then asked with a half-smile and a half-joking tone, "Did only Zi Nu and Hong Lian leave?"

"I'm leaving Zilan Pavilion soon to return to Xianyang City. Won't you feel lost?"

"Huh?" Nongyu's mouth opened slightly, somewhat at a loss.

She glanced at Lin Qi furtively, then quickly lowered her head again.

Then he nodded slightly: "Mm!"

"Hmm what?" Lin Qi stepped forward, looking intently at Nongyu.

Sensing the approaching masculine presence, Nongyu stiffened, her ears turning red.

Finally, she mustered her courage, raised her head, and whispered, "Disappointed!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's face broke into a bright smile.

Then, he took a step forward!

At the same time, he gently stroked Nongyu's cheeks with both hands and tenderly brought her face close to his.

"do not move!"

Instantly, Nongyu's body stiffened and she became completely still.

After a long while, Lin Qi finally released Nongyu, who was almost suffocating.

"Huff huff huff..." Nongyu gasped for breath, her cheeks flushed.

"Alright, Nongyu, I'm leaving now."

Seeing this, Lin Qi smiled slightly, didn't linger, and strode away.

Nongyu watched Lin Qi's receding figure and clasped her hands tightly together.

"Brother Lin Qi, you're really wicked!"

She muttered softly, complaining, but her face was beaming with a happy smile, and she was extremely happy inside.

After bidding farewell to Nongyu, Lin Qi did not set off immediately but returned to his room.

Since we haven't checked in yet, and Yao and Jia are still on their way, there's no need to rush to set off immediately.

Lin Qi had an idea and started signing in.

The system's voice rang out as soon as the words were spoken: "Ding!"

"Daily check-in successful. Received: Sacred Heart Technique Level +1!"

"Daily check-in successful, received: Body Aura Level +1!"

"Daily check-in successful. Received: Undying Golden Body Level +1!"

The sound rang out three times in a row, and a familiar fragrance wafted over.

Lin Qi smiled with satisfaction.

Then, he silently said to himself, "Check the attributes." Soon, the attribute interface appeared before his eyes.

...803

[Host: Lin Qi] [Age: 18]

【Charm: 80】

[Foundation: 9 (Exceptional)]

[Cultivation Level: Early Stage of the Third Level of the Celestial Realm]

[**One: Holy Spirit Sword Technique - Sword Thirteen, Bright Jade Skill - Level Nine (Perfect)**] [**Two: Undying Golden Body Lv5, Body Light Flash Lv7, Holy Heart Technique LvMax**] [Items: Fire Kirin Sword - Time and Space, Beginner Enlightenment Stone Tablet]

The last few days.

That evening, Lin Qi and Hong Lian practiced martial arts together.

During the day, he focuses on practicing the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

When his mental state is at its best.

He broke through once again, raising the Holy Spirit Sword Technique to Sword Thirteen.

In addition,

The Undying Golden Body has reached Lv5, and the Body Light Flash has been upgraded to Lv7.

The Sacred Heart Technique went even further, reaching a state of perfection.

This means he can prepare for the next level of advancement.

"We can try to make further breakthroughs in the Sacred Heart Technique."

"I wonder what the next stage of mental techniques will be like?" Lin Qi was filled with curiosity about this.

Because if he succeeds in breaking through his mental skills, this will be his fourth major evolution.

The first three were physical body and speed, and now it's about the mind.

Hopefully, this will be a qualitative leap, and not a complete waste of time.

"Hopefully, the breakthrough in Sacred Heart Technique will bring about significant results."

"I don't need to master abilities like controlling people's souls, but at least I can suppress the enemy in battle." A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Qi's eyes.

“After all, Yao Jia has already come to Xinzheng City, but that’s not urgent.” “The most important thing now is to devote all my energy to cultivation and strive to break through as soon as possible!” Lin Qi immediately made up his mind.

Then, he flashed and landed on the bed, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate and cultivate.
