When I was in Qin Dynasty, I really didn't want to make progress

"Should I tell him this cruel truth?" Yan Lingji hesitated. She felt that there were countless people in the world, but there were very few as unlucky as Yang Chong.

The person closest to me actually has other intentions.

"Alas, poor little thief." Yan Lingji sighed softly, feeling deeply sympathetic towards Yang Chong's experience.

Yan Lingji was thinking about Yang Chong's misfortune and wondering whether to tell him the truth, while Yang Chong put all his attention on cultivation.

The world's number one energy-absorbing technique is strong in every aspect except for one thing, which is conversion efficiency. Even if Yang Chong absorbed all the internal energy of two killer-level killers, Qian Sha and Jiang Junbi, and added most of the internal energy of Yan Ri, a first-class killer, he could only open two extraordinary meridians and barely touch the Ren and Du meridians. You must know that even without Qian Sha and Jiang Junbi, Yan Ri himself had opened at least three extraordinary meridians, including one Qiao meridian and the Ren and Du meridians, and his internal energy was extraordinary.

But even with such a huge amount of internal energy, after being plundered by Yang Chong, it could only be used by Yang Chong to completely open up two extraordinary meridians and touch the third one. It was a blatant waste.

Fortunately, Yang Chong is content with what he has. Compared with the step-by-step practice of the Nine Yin True Qi, the opportunities brought to him by the Power Absorption Technique are priceless. If it weren't for the Power Absorption Technique, it would be almost impossible for Yang Chong to reach his current state without several years. You know, the current Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang are only slightly stronger than him in terms of internal strength.

Therefore, Yang Chong was content. Although he was greedy, he was rational.

As the Nine Yin Qi flowed, Yang Chong guided them to impact the Yin and Yang meridians. The twelve main meridians formed their own systems, but each operated independently. The Qi was scattered and difficult to coordinate. Although there was a huge amount, it could not achieve qualitative improvement. Without coordination, no matter how much Qi there was, they were just scattered soldiers. Only with coordination could they become a real army.

More importantly, each of the eight extraordinary meridians has its own personality. Once they are opened, the true Qi can be transformed through the eight extraordinary meridians, transforming into true Qi that belongs to the individual. The characteristics of the true Qi can then be condensed into intention and gathered into momentum. At that time, you will become a true master who can dominate a place.

So, Yang Chong still has a long way to go.

Under repeated impacts, Yang Chong's whole body shook, his muscles were tense and veins popped out at his temples, and then his whole body trembled, and he was completely relaxed. The tension turned into comfort, and a new kind of true energy rushed along the Yin-Yang meridians to a mysterious area in the body. Yang Chong knew that it was the Du meridian among the Ren and Du meridians.

However, at this point the true energy has a feeling of being exhausted, and it still needs a little more to be fully penetrated.

But since then, the twelve meridians have been coordinated and have formed their own system when operating. Although it cannot achieve endless circulation, it can achieve repetitive circulation.

"Successful?" Yan Lingji asked hurriedly when she saw Yang Chong open his eyes, with concern in her words.

"I succeeded. From now on, I am barely qualified to roam the world." Yang Chong said with a smile.

As expected, the Qi-absorbing Dafa is the biggest cheating device for cultivation. As a time traveler, the golden finger must be standard. However, the Qi-absorbing Dafa should focus on the belt meridian, and it is time to put it on the agenda. If I cultivate the three meridians at the same time, I can also be a person who cannot be seen for ten years. Yang Chong thought in his heart.

"Congratulations." Yan Lingji was also sincerely happy for Yang Chong.

"Hey, master." Yang Chong smiled brilliantly, waving his palm to form a claw. The true energy wrapped around his fingertips, making them sharper. He slashed towards the mountain wall next to him. Although it did not touch the mountain wall, the sharp claw force had already left five deep scratches on the mountain wall.

The five fingers exert force, which is invincible, and can destroy the enemy's head like wearing away rotten soil. Up to this moment, Yang Chong has truly achieved the description of the Nine Yin Divine Claws in the Nine Yin Manual.

"Is your Nine Yin Divine Claw so powerful?" Yan Lingji was shocked when she saw the deep claw marks on the mountain wall. The Nine Yin Scriptures were no longer a secret to her, but she couldn't help but be frightened when she saw the power of the Nine Yin Bone Claw. If it were to grab a person, it would break bones and tendons. It was sharper than a sword.

“So Yan Lingji must practice well. Don’t just know how to use illusions and fire. Once they are broken, you will become a lamb to be slaughtered. Moreover, it now has a new name, the Nine Yin Divine Claw.” Yang Chong advised kindly.

Yan Lingji’s talent is obviously very strong, but she can only bully weak opponents. Once she meets a master, she will be at a loss. There is a reason for this.

Chapter 55 The cruel truth

"This little thief has grown wings and is now teaching me a lesson." Yan Lingji's face darkened. Was she being looked down upon?

"I dare not, I dare not. Thank you very much for your help this time." Yang Chong waved his hands repeatedly.

No matter what, Yan Lingji did help her a lot this time, and Yang Chong must remember this friendship. Of course, Yang Chong also owed a favor to Yan Lingji, and Yan Lingji's help was largely just out of gratitude, but it was also a response after all.

"If I didn't go, wouldn't you have lost? It's called a gamble on your life, but it's a life-and-death situation. Are you gambling? You're simply courting death." Yan Lingji then remembered what she wanted to say before.

Not to mention Yang Chong's situation at that time, even with Yang Chong's current strength, if the same thing happened again, Yan Lingji did not think that Yang Chong could win. You have to know that there were three Luowang's first-class killers in Weijia Village before, and there was also Zongheng, who was powerful and cooperated with each other as well as Luowang's first-class killers. Any one of them had the strength to kill Yang Chong.

"If I don't go, I will be dead in the future." Yang Chong smiled complacently, not caring about the previous danger at all. No matter how dangerous it was, it was over. If he needed to choose again, Yang Chong would still make the same decision, because he had no better choice at all, and he won the bet.

Now he has opened up two of the eight extraordinary meridians and touched the third one. His martial arts can be considered to have made some progress. Jingwei has also retreated. She has to escort Yanri back to Xianyang and has no energy to take care of herself in the short term. The threat of the Jingwei sword will have to go away for at least three months. This is the reward for his life-threatening gamble.

"What's the matter with your wife?" Yan Lingji asked with a frown. Yan Lingji knew that the silver-faced female killer had an engagement with Yang Chong, but it was just an engagement. However, she remembered that Yang Chong called her wife.

Did something happen during the time Yang Chong was trapped in Weijia Village? You know, a fiancée and a wife are not the same thing, the difference between them is huge.

"A wife is a wife, but, hehe, she probably can't take care of me for now. I'm just very curious about how she will kill me next?" Yang Chong said with a smile, even looking forward to it.

The pressure that Jingwei brought to him at the beginning was quite a lot. Of course, the gentle world she created was also tempting enough.

Yanri helped him a lot, which was an unexpected surprise. Now Yanri had suffered heavy losses in his skills, and if he wanted to return to Qin, he could only be escorted by Jingwei. The round trip took a long time. More importantly, Yanri directly revealed Jingwei's identity for self-protection. Jingwei's suffering these days was in vain. To be honest, Yang Chong took a huge advantage for nothing. In a sense, it was really a free gift.

Thinking of the days and nights at Weijiazhuang, Yang Chong felt a sense of nostalgia. The extreme ecstasy of being on the brink of death was exciting just thinking about it. It could be described as a clash of ice and fire.

For now, the pressure from Jingwei has been temporarily relieved.

However, who exactly is Yanri? Although he is also a top-notch assassin of Luowang and his martial arts are among the best even among the top-notch assassins, he is somewhat different from the top-notch assassins like Hei Bai Xuan Jian and Jing Wei.

Whether it is Hei Bai Xuan Jian or Jing Wei, they are just tools to execute orders, but Yanri is the one who can give orders. This is interesting. Could it be that the "legendary" character is really like this?

However, if that happened, since Yanri had absorbed so much internal energy and true essence from me, I don't know if he would become weak. If so, it would be even more interesting.

Yang Chong, feeling relaxed, could no longer control his wandering thoughts.

Looking at Yang Chong's expression which kept changing, sometimes nostalgic, sometimes complacent, and sometimes dissolute, Yan Lingji's hesitation gradually turned into determination. Although some things were cruel, they had to be faced. It was better to tell Yang Chong now than to wait for Yang Chong to find out himself. Moreover, it would be fun to hit Yang Chong now given the way he was now.

What's more, Yang Lin and Qi Fu must have had a big plan for Yang Chong. If Yang Chong had known about it earlier, he could have taken precautions in advance. Otherwise, who can guard against the backstabbing from relatives?

"I have something to tell you, but you must stay calm after hearing it!" Yan Lingji looked serious and no longer called herself 'sister'.

"What makes you so serious? Could it be..." Yang Chong looked at Yan Lingji hesitantly, and his gaze inevitably fell on Yan Lingji's lower abdomen.

Yang Chong's scrutinizing gaze made Yan Lingji feel a little uncomfortable, but thinking about what she was about to say, she still looked at Yang Chong with a stern face. However, Yang Chong's next words directly broke her defense.

Yang Chong didn't finish his words, but Yan Lingji already understood. She angrily slapped Yang Chong on the intact shoulder and said, "What are you thinking about? I'm talking about your business."

"My business?" Yang Chong was stunned.

Yan Lingji is rarely serious, so Yang Chong was a little uncomfortable with her sudden seriousness.

"Of course it's your business. In this world, I only know you. Apart from your business, who else can it be? Listen carefully, although this matter may be a little cruel to you, I must tell you that after all, a short pain is worse than a long one." Yan Lingji said.

"Is Yan Lingji going to leave me?" Yang Chong, who was completely relaxed, was very interested in playing some verbal games with Yan Lingji.

"Could you please stop interrupting?" Yan Lingji was annoyed. Those damn Koreans were so rude.

"Okay, please go ahead." Seeing that Yan Lingji was about to get angry, Yang Chong realized that it was time to quit while he was ahead.

"This matter is related to your true life experience." Yan Lingji took a deep breath and mobilized the words of her not-so-much intelligent organization. The content of the words could not be changed, but the way of saying them could be adjusted to minimize the damage.

With Yang Chong listening intently, Yan Lingji continued, "The real surname of your Yang family should be Jiang or Lu, and you are descendants of the former royal family of Qi."

"Really? Didn't I say that I am the descendant of the Six Tribes of Emperor Yan? The Six Tribes of Emperor Yan and the former royal family of Qi State are from the same lineage." Yang Chong said.

"But that's just the Yang family, not you." Yan Lingji made up her mind. Unable to think of a more gentle way to express it, she simply chose the most direct way.

"You are not from the Yang family, nor are you Yang Lin's son. His real son is Qi Fu from your Xiliu Village, and you are just Yang Lin's adopted child. You are just a scapegoat for him to replace Qi Fu and deal with the enemies of the Yang family." Yan Lingji said.

Chapter 56 Don’t cry, sister loves you

"Really?" Faced with the cruel truth told by Yan Lingji, Yang Chong's reaction was very calm.

Of course Yang Chong knew the secret of the Yang family, but he just didn't know what Yang Lin's specific plan was for him. Now after hearing Yan Lingji's words, the question that had been bothering Yang Chong but left him with only guesses finally had an answer. How shocked could he be?

Only this makes sense!

Using a fake child instead of the real child, letting the fake child attract enemy firepower that may appear at any time, and letting the real child develop slowly in secret. This strategy is quite clever and requires enough patience, but that's all.

Not surprisingly, Yang Chong was very calm, but his calmness became something else in Yan Lingji's eyes.

How does a person behave when he is extremely sad and desperate?

Some people believe that people who are extremely sad and desperate will become hysterical and crazy.

But Yan Lingji didn't think so. She had experienced something similar before. When she was a child, she could no longer control her power and set the village on fire. Even her dearest brother disappeared in the fire she started. What was her mood at that time?

Whenever Yan Lingji thought of what happened back then, she would feel as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart.

But Yan Lingji clearly remembered that she did not cry or have hysterics at that time. She only seemed calm, a calm that was almost dementia. It was a calmness that was the result of extreme sadness and despair, or to be more precise, it was dead silence.

In Yan Lingji's view, Yang Chong now looks very similar to herself back then.

Yan Lingji also knew that sadness and despair must never be suppressed. Suppression cannot solve the problem, it just becomes repression, and repression will completely destroy a person. Therefore, when people are sad and desperate, they must vent their emotions.

But Yang Chong...

Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong worriedly, she knew that what she said was too hurtful to Yang Chong, but she could only do so. Although the reality was cruel, it had to be faced eventually. If people live in falsehood, they can be happy for a while, but when the falsehood is shattered, they have to pay double.

"Are you okay?" Yan Lingji asked softly, trying to appear as gentle as possible.

"It's okay." Yang Chong smiled casually and really didn't care.

But Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong's smile and felt even gloomier: This is not good! This incident has dealt him a bigger blow than I thought.

"Actually, this matter is not that bad. Now that you know about it, you will be prepared in the future. If you are kept in the dark, it will be a tragedy when the danger really comes." Yan Lingji forced a smile and blinked her bright eyes, hoping to use her relaxed smile to bring Yang Chong out of his emotions.

"I know." Yang Chong said with a smile.

Yang Chong knew about the relationship with Yan Lingji and was grateful for this friendship.

However, Yan Lingji, who had a preconceived notion, would have been fine if she hadn't seen Yang Chong's smile. But once she saw that smile, she not only couldn't feel relieved, but became even more worried.

Forced smile? Are you using your smile to cover up your true emotions? The clever Yan Lingji instantly "guessed" Yang Chong's true thoughts.

"You know? What do you know? You know that Yang Lin is not Yang Lin at all, you know that Qi Fu is not Qi Fu at all, do you know that only you, Yang Chong, are Yang Chong?" Yan Lingji said angrily.

She felt sad for Yang Chong.

"What I know is..." Yang Chong wanted to say something, but he didn't see Yan Lingji's expression gradually becoming firm. Before he could finish his words, Yan Lingji hugged him.

In Yan Lingji's closed arms, Yang Chong felt a sense of suffocation. When he came to his senses, he had already fallen into Yan Lingji's warm embrace.

Is this how Yan Lingji comforts people? But did she misunderstand something?

Yang Chong wanted to explain, but the wonderful touch on his face and the sweet fragrance of his breath made Yang Chong shamelessly give up the idea of ​​explaining.

Who could refuse Yan Lingji's broad and soft misunderstanding? Yang Chong certainly couldn't.

"Don't be sad, aren't they just so-called relatives? I, your sister, don't have any relatives either, but I'm still living well." Yan Lingji hugged Yang Chong and patted his back gently, just like she comforted her brother when he cried when he was a child.

"Don't cry, brother. I love you." Yan Lingji, who had already immersed herself in the role, comforted Yang Chong with gentle words.

"It hurts? How does it hurt?" Yang Chong, who was almost out of breath, quickly used the breath-holding technique from the Nine Yin Scriptures. Fortunately, his breath was long now, so he was able to hold on.

"In this world, if you have no relatives, I will be your relative. Even if everyone abandons you, I will not abandon you." Thinking of Yang Chong rescuing her from the cage, thinking of Yang Chong leaving his most important things to her before going to Weijiazhuang, thinking of Yang Chong not forgetting to consider her even when he was gambling his life, thinking of the past nearly half a year of 'living together', Yan Lingji's face was left with only determination, and in this determined look there was a hint of noble holiness.

Now Yan Lingji is no longer a fairy, but just a woman as gentle as water. Now she is no longer a demon girl of Baiyue, but just a sister who loves her younger brother.

"What Yang Lin? He is not even worthy of carrying shoes for my brother, and he still wants to be your father. Wait until we go back and kill him, and I will help you vent your anger. And that Qi Fu, he is not worthy of being your scapegoat. We will kill him when we go back." As Yan Lingji spoke, the gentle look on her face turned murderous, and she looked ferocious.

But now Yang Chong could not see Yan Lingji's fierce and ferocious look, he could only feel these four words.

Yan Lingji kept talking, and Yang Chong's thoughts of taking advantage of her faded away. If Yan Lingji was just a beautiful woman who could be taken advantage of, Yang Chong would never hesitate.

But how could Yang Chong still have the thought of "if you don't take advantage of a "sister" who is truly kind to him"?

When facing Jingwei, Yang Chong could marry Jingwei without any psychological burden and take away her virginity. That was because Yang Chong knew that Jingwei was a killer and he was just her task. Therefore, he could marry Jingwei, even in the bridal chamber, without any psychological burden.

But it was different for Yan Lingji. Although Yan Lingji was very beautiful, Yang Chong gradually gave up the idea of ​​taking advantage of her.

At the very least, Yang Chong didn't want to take advantage of Yan Lingji's kindness at this moment. Even if he wanted to do something to Yan Lingji, it would never be at this time.

It’s not that Yan Lingji is not beautiful, it’s just that Yang Chong doesn’t want to.

So Yang Chong struggled to raise his head from Yan Lingji's arms.

Chapter 57: Little thief, you lied to me?

Yan Lingji looked at Yang Chong in astonishment when he raised his head. Her chattering words got stuck in her throat. At this moment, Yang Chong was looking at her with a smile on his face. That look made Yan Lingji feel very unfamiliar.

Yan Lingji's small mouth, which was too shocked to close in time, opened and closed in Yang Chong's sight. Her thin upper lip and plump lower lip formed a perfect arc.

Yan Lingji stared at Yang Chong blankly, only to see Yang Chong suddenly come closer to her and kiss her on the cheek before she could react. The kiss was fleeting, but Yan Lingji's heart trembled.

On that day, under the willow tree beside the stream, Yang Chong had kissed Yan Lingji. That was a real kiss, passionate and domineering. Compared with the last time, this one was not even a light kiss.

But for some reason, when she met Yang Chong's gaze at this time, Yan Lingji felt her heart beating violently. She vaguely realized that the last time they got close to each other was only because of desire and the impulse of youth, but this time was different. This time it seemed to be mixed with something else.

"Thank you, I know everything you said." Yang Chong just explained, not paying any attention to the shock he brought to Yan Lingji.

"You know? What do you know?" Yan Lingji asked subconsciously.

"I know Yang Lin is not my father, and I also know Qi Fu is Yang Lin's son. As for me, I am just Yang Chong." Yang Chong said.

Ever since he awakened his past life memories, he knew about the weirdness of the Yang family. Because of the inheritance of the six tribes of Emperor Yan, he could also guess the relationship between the Yang family and the State of Qi and the six tribes of Emperor Yan.

"Then, why do you still stay in the Yang family?" Yan Lingji asked.

Since Yang Chong already knew the truth, why did he stay in the Yang family? Yan Lingji asked herself, if the same thing happened to her, she would leave even if she didn't take revenge, but Yang Chong's choice...

"Although the Yang family is dangerous to me, it is also safe when I have no power. If I am not well prepared, how can I dare to plunge into this world? However, there is no need for that now." Yang Chong said.

"Why not use it now?" Yan Lingji asked.
