Lu Yan took a moment to surmise things and said, “Let’s not put too much thought into whether Si Jin is or with the Ghost Organization or not. I’m inclined to think he’s not.”

“...” Qi Qingyao nodded. She also thought that it was not the case. She just brought up the matter for discussion since he mentioned the Ghost Organization just now.

Lu Yan walked to the window. He instinctively wanted to open the window but did not. He walked back. He tapped his finger on the surface of the table rhythmically twice

“I always felt that the Ghost Organization has the ability to train people of that caliber. But with Si Jin’s performance, unless he has exquisite acting skills, he is a good kid who has no bad intentions.”

“You know, the scheming sort of people like Li Ruoxuan and Jiang Yeqian, or people like me who are always busy, our lives can make it distracting when it comes to cultivation. As a result, it becomes almost impossible for us to ascend to rank nine, or grand master ship, let alone a realm above grand mastership. This is definitely impossible.”

“Si Jin is a very simple person. The dead Pang Juan and the other seven grand masters are the same. All simple martial idiots…”

Qi Qingyao heard him and agreed to Lu Yan’s words. “Yeah, you make a point.”

She held her chin and fell into another bout of deep contemplation. If Si Jin was not cultivated by the Ghost Organization, then how did he surpass grand masters… Furthermore, some of the lies he told her before had been overturned, something about his family having gone into decline.

She did not doubt Si Jin’s good treatment of her, she just found this situation...too weird.

…

…

Jiuli River.

There was a golden koi swimming along the Jiuli River. It was extremely fast and in a few hours, it reached the upper reaches of the river. After encountering a waterfall, it swam upstream easily. If ordinary people were to witness this scene, they would be surprised.

There was an ancient spring pond upstream. The little koi swam into the spring pond and relaxed.

It wagged its tail quickly and turned into a naked boy whose pupils were pure gold.

His shining golden eyes were radiant in the morning sunlight.

An old man came out from a grass hut near the mountain forest. His hair and beard were white but his eyes had the same golden hue. He looked very godly.

The old man approached the spring pond and sat on a stone. He looked up at the sky but addressed the little goldfish when he spoke.

“Why have you returned again?”

“There were changes showing on my body.” The youth, who was submerged in the spring pond, muttered his words, spouting bubbles while he talked.

The old man snorted coldly. He looked at the scales on the youth’s ears and neck, as well as the gleaming scales on his hands. He picked up a small stone and threw it toward the spring pool somewhat childishly, smiling as he reprimanded the boy, “You were in the middle of learning an array but suddenly ran away halfway and then got into a fight with people outside again. You even disrupted the situation on the mainland. Way to go, you!!!”

The boy, who had been struck on the head, instantly turned into a small koi. Looking aggrieved, it stuck its body out of the water and swam closer to the old man. He shook his head and tail and turned into a human again with bubbles in his mouth. He said to the old man, “It’s because that old man kidnapped Erniu. I just helped Big Sis get revenge.”

The old man rubbed his chin and said, “That sister of yours, she has a good life. You don’t need to worry.”

“...” The youth was quiet. He swam to the side while quickly absorbing the energy from the heavens and earth.

The old man then picked up another pebble and threw it at the youth’s head angrily. “Pouting at me, are you? Little brat.”

After having another pebble thrown at him, Si Jin turned into a koi fish. In the water, he angrily slapped his small tail on the water surface. He could not speak when he turned into a fish; he could only resonate his thoughts to the old man, telling him, “I want to recover my spiritual power quickly to maintain my human form so I can go look for big sis.”

“There are golden fish scales appearing on your hands and under your ears soon and yet you still want to frolic around.” The old man shook his head, feeling like this child could not be taught. He said, “Hurry up and get a good rest in the spiritual spring for a while. After that, we’ll talk.”

The little koi resonated back, “Grandpa, how long must I rest before I can leave?”

“At least 3 months,” the old man said helplessly.

“Ah.” The little koi got agitated and turned into a human.

“This is already considered a short time.” The old man said sharply, “You just cultivated your human form not too long ago, so you need to soak yourself in the spiritual spring more to consolidate your cultivation. But in the end, you thought yourself infallible and ran out of the river to mess around. You only soaked yourself for just a few months and then went and fought a grand master this time. In the end, you damaged too much of your spiritual power… Hmph! You are lucky you didn’t die. If five of them had gone up against you at the same time, your life would be hard to save.”

“I still have you, Grandpa.” The youth swam to the old man’s legs and stuck half his body out of the water. He hugged the old man’s legs like a spoiled child.

The old man caressed his head. “I?can’t leave Qingzhou City without authorization, let alone the Koi Temple.?”

“Huh.” The young man pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I’m going to quickly cultivate anyway. It would be best if I can stay in human form for one year at a time!”

The old man sighed. “You have to work hard so that you can maintain your human form for ten years at a time!”

“...” This was asking too much of him.

Si Jin felt like crying. How long would he have to recuperate if he wanted to maintain his form for ten years? Would he not be able to meet big sis for half a year? Si Jin sunk completely into the water, spitting bubbles from his mouth silently.

The old man looked at the youth being depressed in the water and pondered for a bit before saying, “Actually, I have another suggestion to help you maintain your human form longer.”

“Tell me quickly, Grandpa.” Si Jin instantly popped his sopping wet head out of the water and asked eagerly.

The old man said, “You went up against two grand masters simultaneously the last time. You were afraid you’d disrupt the peace in Qingzhou City so you created a huge array to protect the people in Qingzhou City from the fight. Your intentions were good but this large-scale array was too damaging to you. You are too weak, and you ended up like this because you forcibly made such a big array.”

“...” He was bringing this up again??First off, he had been a little angry when Pang Juan kidnapped Erniu that day. Secondly, it was to see if he could win against the most powerful grand masters on the mainland. That was why his methods had been a bit exaggerated.

The old man said, “In theory, even though it’s your first time turning into a human, if you don’t use your spiritual power indiscriminately and soak yourself every day, you will easily be able to maintain your form for a year as long as you don’t create such a large array for a barrier like that day.”

“So what do I do now?” Si Jin asked aggrievedly. He had been anticipating constructive suggestions from the old man.

The old man touched his white beard and said, “Once you’ve recuperated, I’ll create a seal to trap a portion of your spiritual power and leave enough for you to stay alive.”

“Ah!” Shocked, Si Jin’s pupils shone a dark gold. “Then, if I were to encounter a grand master in the future…” Would he be killed?

“I only intended to seal your power until you have the strength of a rank nine. But now that you mentioned this, I suppose you’re also worried if your killing of a grand master the last time would cause a chain reaction.”

“...” Si Jin spouted some bubbles in the water embarrassedly.

“Don’t worry, you won’t have an issue going up against a grand master even with your power sealed. Let’s not talk so much about this first, focus on recuperating properly for now…”

“Okay!”

…

…

Early the next morning, Qi Qingyao was more cautious because of Si Jin’s departure. Unexpectedly, Steward Zhang said that another uninvited guest had arrived.

She learned that the State Preceptor had come again after her questions were answered.

Qi Qingyao’s heart plummeted and she screamed internally.

Li Ruoxuan coming at such a time... Did he know that Si Jin had left?

How was that possible? Li Ruoxuan could not have possibly infiltrated the Qi Residence.

So why did he come?

Even though Qi Qingyao was puzzled, she did not dare to refuse him arbitrarily.. After consulting with Lu Yan, she decided to invite the State Preceptor in first.
