Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 251 Planning

Facing Ye Qi's question, Mu Qingyao held the jade pendant in her palm and said, "This jade pendant was naturally handed to me by Miss Jingshu herself. However, I didn't know its use at the time. It wasn't until I came to this Sky City and someone accidentally discovered the existence of the jade pendant that I learned that it was a token of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, but it had been lost for a hundred years!"

"Are you saying that Shu'er is the real saint? Impossible. She doesn't even know her own life experience, how could she remember these things? What's more, this token was lost a hundred years ago. Shu'er has all kinds of strange things on her body. I guess she picked them up accidentally from somewhere!" Looking at Mu Qingyao with a solemn face, Ye Qi waved his hand with an incredible look and responded quickly.

Seeing Ye Qi's disbelieving attitude, Mu Qingyao's eyes suddenly became much colder. She looked directly at Ye Qi and scolded him, "Then why don't you pick one? Or, if Miss Jingshu is really the Saint of the Spirit Clan, are you afraid that you are not worthy of her?"

"What are you talking about? We were just discussing Manyue's life story, why are you bringing up Shu'er again?"

Mu Qingyao rolled her eyes at Ye Qi, who seemed to be avoiding the topic, before continuing, "It's precisely because her status as a saint is related to her mother that I have to mention it. However, speaking of Man Yue's mother, the mistress of the Spirit Clan, she's actually not from the Spirit Clan!"

"What did you say? Not a member of the spirit race?" Ye Qi, who was originally in a mood to listen to the show and watch the fun, could not sit still and stood up after hearing Mu Qingyao's words.

"I know what you're wondering about. You saw how Manyue treated her father yesterday. As far as I know, her mother's departure is closely related to her father's weakness and incompetence!"

"Qing Yao! Are you out of your mind? He's the dignified leader of the Spirit Clan, the man who leads the largest clan in Sky City, and you actually call him weak and incompetent?"

Ye Qi was shocked when he heard Mu Qingyao's words that seemed so casual. But what shocked him even more was that when she said this, he didn't see any expression of shock on her face like his!

"According to Man Yue, what the spirits have been guarding for generations isn't the Frozen Heart, but the tomb of the Frozen Heart's owner from a thousand years ago. Besides the spirits, there are also tomb keepers who live in the tomb and never leave. Her mother is a descendant of one of those tomb keepers!"

"Can……"

Mu Qingyao knew what was in Ye Qi's mind, and before he could even begin to speak, she interrupted him and began to explain, "But why did her mother appear in the Spirit Tribe? Is that what you want to ask? This is also why her mother was personally sent back to the mausoleum by her husband, the Spirit Tribe leader, after giving birth to her!"

"Then how did you, a fake saint, gain the recognition of the spirit race?"

Mu Qingyao glanced at Man Yue, who was knocked unconscious by Ye Qi's punch. After a moment's silence, she said, "Actually, it's not just because of this jade pendant. They sensed a connection between me and the Frozen Heart. They relied on this subtle connection and this jade pendant to forcefully give me the title of Saint!"

After hearing Mu Qingyao's explanation, Ye Qi was stunned. He couldn't help but say with envy, "This is too careless! Just turning a pheasant into a phoenix? This spirit race is really stubborn. They can't be more rigorous with this kind of thing!"

"Pheasant? I used to be very..."

"No! No! It's just a metaphor!" Ye Qi looked at Mu Qingyao and for some reason, the light in his eyes that had finally appeared dimmed again. He immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly explained in a panic.

"Young Master! Most of the monsters in the Northern Wilderness are like this. Once they have determined something, they will not waste effort to seek a different result. Since they confirmed the identity of the Saint when they first saw her, they will naturally not have any doubts!" Just when the silent atmosphere at the scene gradually became a little awkward, Shuang'er on the side spoke up to break the silent scene.

"Oh? I almost forgot you were still here!"

When Mu Qingyao heard Shuang'er talking, she realized that Shuang'er, who had been following her silently, was still there. What she was saying now were all secrets of the spirit race that could not be told to outsiders. She immediately tapped Shuang'er's eyebrows with her jade finger, and the already frail Shuang'er fell down limply in an instant.

"what have you done?"

"Just let her get some sleep. Don't let her hear what I'm going to say next! Whether the Saint's return to the Spirit Clan is true or not, they can't miss this sacrificial ceremony. And Manyue also wants to take advantage of that opportunity to sneak into the mausoleum, although she hasn't mentioned a word about it!"

After hearing Mu Qingyao's bold guess, Ye Qi was so shocked that his voice became much louder. He said, "You mean, you want me to sneak into the mausoleum with her and steal the Frozen Heart?"

Seeing Ye Qi's surprised look, Mu Qingyao hurriedly covered his mouth. After all, this was the Spirit Clan. Although it was Manyue's courtyard, there might be more secret sentries because of Ye Qi's arrival. After all, the Spirit Clan leader was very unhappy with Ye Qi's existence!

"The Frozen Heart was originally guarded by the Saint, but the moment I stepped into the mausoleum, the guardians would realize I wasn't the real Saint. Furthermore, in order to cultivate a necromancy, I'd need the power of the Water Spirit Pearl in you, in addition to the Frozen Heart. Since we share the same goal, why not collaborate?"

Just as the two of them stared at each other, secretly wondering if this would work, a graceful figure suddenly stretched and sat up, saying with disdain, "Don't talk about cooperation in high-sounding terms. We're just using each other! Sister Mu! Don't you agree?"
