When Wang Qi woke up from the darkness ah, whole body feel warm-warm one, like soaked in hot water like that, body bone like wanna melt liao.
"Eh... where I am just now huh?"
His head a bit blur-blur, and then also got a bit... nausea?
Wang Qi suddenly become alert. Nausea? As a cultivator hor, should be strong body and healthy one, nausea this kind of negative thing either is internal energy go wrong, or kena poison. Both also very jialat!
He open his eyes, the first thing he saw, surprisingly is Xiang Qi's face very near leh.
"WA WA!" he got shock, body shrink back. Then he only realise, he is lying on a bed wor.
"Why your reaction so big one?" Xiang Qi see Wang Qi wake up already, then move back, sit down on a chair beside the bed lor.
Wang Qi pat-pat his head, then ask: "Here is where ah? Why I here one?"
Xiang Qi face got a bit sad sad: "We found you near Senior Brother Li... his body there. You fainted there."
Then only Wang Qi remember back. After he copy the forbidden Daoist's manuscript, mental energy use until dry dry, then faint there already. He quickly go touch around his body, if the manuscript kena discover, then GG.com liao.
Lucky, Wang Qi very fast find back the manuscript hidden at his waist there. Before he fainted, he still got remember to wrap the manuscript with a cloth — that cloth originally is Li Ziye use to wrap some random stuff from his storage bag.
"You looking for this is it?"
Then suddenly, a bit hoarse woman voice interrupt them.
Wang Qi look up, then saw a middle-aged lady cultivator holding Li Ziye's storage bag and the jade ring where Zhen Chanzi live inside. Wang Qi just notice — the ring on his hand missing already.
Xiang Qi quickly stand up and greet: "Senior Aunt Yan." Then introduce to Wang Qi: "This is Senior Aunt Yan He Yi from Ji Yin Valley, the security officer in charge here, handling this incident."
Wang Qi already made up his mind liao, want to hide the manuscript matter, so he just nod his head and said: "Yes, senior."
Yan He Yi nod back, never give back the ring first, then she also nod at Xiang Qi: "You go out for a while. I want to ask this kid some question."
Xiang Qi know the procedure lah, nod nod and walk out the door. Yan He Yi sit at the same chair, then her eyes like phoenix like that, long-long and sharp-sharp, stare at Wang Qi: "Just now I hear from that Xiang Qi girl and also the old man in the ring. But because my job require, I need to ask you also directly."
Like police taking statement like that, also split us up to prevent we talk same story.
Wang Qi nod his head: "Can can, senior you ask anything. But before that, can I ask one question first or not?"
Yan He Yi nod her head: "Ask bah."
Wang Qi careful ask: "The village where I born, how liao?"
Yan He Yi face still cold-cold one, but this time got a bit soft expression: "I advise you better don't ask la."
Even though he already guess the answer, Wang Qi still clenched his fist: "Then... the bodies leh?"
"Other security officers already bury them properly at that place."
Wang Qi let out long breath. Okay lor, this debt, also add to my list.
Yan He Yi see Wang Qi still care about other people even in this condition, her impression on him also improve a bit. Her face also more soft, then say to comfort him: "These things not something you can change. The dead already gone, the living must be strong, don't think too much la."
Wang Qi lower his head and quietly nod-nod. Actually he really like that, but also acting a bit to cover any suspicious behaviour.
Yan He Yi say: "Okay la, now I ask you some question, you must answer truthfully."
"Mm."
"First, tell me what happen when you got kidnapped and the Wan Fa Sect disciple Li Ziye fight with the Huang Ji Lie Tian Dao disciple?"
Wang Qi very honest tell everything that happen, just skip the part where he use Hilbert space to crack the forbidden method. That kind of math level is too crazy, even modern cultivators also cannot understand, blame on Zhen Chanzi also useless.
Yan He Yi frown: "Got two problem here. First, why that Yuan Ying level cultivator want to catch you?"
Wang Qi answer: "The old man in the ring told me, the ancient method I learn since small is from Luo Fu Xuan Qing Palace, they are enemy with Huang Ji Lie Tian Dao. Maybe that guy think I got some secret from that side lah."
Yan He Yi ask again: "Second problem. I already hear from Xiang Qi you very good at maths. After understand modern cultivation theory you immediately breakthrough. Your talent is really geng."
"Senior, you praise too much lah."
Yan He Yi shake head: "No need to so humble. Just use a bit of old method math, then half day break through the sky? Already very crazy one. But then, your power and aura all look like modern cultivator leh. So that guy how can detect you got Luo Fu Palace stuff?"
Aiyo, really kena this question!
Wang Qi try his best to act like blur-blur foundation stage cultivator, shake his head: "This one I really dunno."
Yan He Yi nod again, feel like Wang Qi's performance got no problem, very match with what small-time cultivator would know. Then she ask few more small things, after that return the ring to Wang Qi, then prepare to leave.
The moment the ring touch his hand, Zhen Chanzi's voice come back into his brain — just now Yan He Yi probably use some technique to block spiritual communication. The old man laugh: "Hehe, looks like this checkpoint pass already."
Wang Qi never reply him, just with pale face fall back to bed.
Luckily he got discuss with old man before. Zhen Chanzi old fox already, although he dunno modern cultivation theory, but he very familiar with human tricks. So hide some things is no problem. After this interrogation, the Immortal Alliance won't suspect him so much anymore.
Suddenly, Yan He Yi at the door turn back and ask: "Why your face so white?"
Wang Qi take deep breath, answer honestly: "Dunno why keep feel like wanna vomit. Maybe my energy flow go wrong or I injured."
Yan He Yi smile a bit: "First time ride flying boat, always like that one la, tahan a bit can already."
"Flying boat?"
Zhen Chanzi say: "Kid, you still haven't notice you are on a flying magic item meh?"
"Wah lau eh... I last life car sick, sea sick, plane sick, now even this life still like that…"
Wang Qi lie down at the boat side, face white-white think sadly — if next time he ride flying sword also like that ah, then really game over.
Right now this flying boat is going towards the main base of Immortal Alliance at Xin Yue. Yan He Yi is the officer in charge in this area, Li Ziye and Xiang Qi both under her. Since ancient cultivator show up and Li Ziye died, of course she must go report. Xiang Qi become security officer also because sect send her out for training. Now time up, she also need go back report. And the rule say, those who got ancient inheritance must be brought into modern cultivation. So she bring Wang Qi also.
This flying boat is official Immortal Alliance standard model, only those big officer can use. It's to transport Foundation stage or Golden Core stage officer across far distance. Length about 4 zhang, width 1 zhang, no sail, back got two big metal wings.
To Wang Qi ah, this flying boat already like small yacht liao — especially the room he stay in, for transport vehicle it's like luxury already. From this, can see Immortal Alliance is like those gomen people use sport car as company car.
His injury as cultivator not considered serious, after treatment can walk liao. But because of motion sickness so jialat, Wang Qi rather go outside blow wind make his head better.
Zhen Chanzi sigh: "You ride flying boat already like dying dog, next time fly sword battle sure lose one lor."
Wang Qi lean on the boat railing, cry like want die: "Still got how far ah?"
Suddenly, Xiang Qi voice come in: "Around five more days la."
Wang Qi look up, see Xiang Qi standing at boat side, staring into distance. High altitude wind blow her red clothes like fairy one kind.
Wang Qi scratch head, smile awkward: "Xiang... senior sister, you here."
Xiang Qi nod her head, then suddenly sigh. Wang Qi not the kind who talk a lot, now also dunno say what, so he just act like looking at scenery.
Then Xiang Qi ask: "Did Senior Brother Li got say anything before he... you know...?"
Wang Qi think carefully, then repeat what Li Ziye said before dying. At the end he add: "He say... if next time someone solve the Hilbert 23 or Pearl Problem, must burn a copy for him."
Xiang Qi pout: "Aiyo, until die still think of those math problem meh? No wonder Wan Fa Sect always got people say their EQ zero, sure single forever."
Wang Qi think a bit, then ask: "You all know each other long already?"
Xiang Qi reply quietly: "Three years, quite old friend already. Three years ago my sect send me out for training, then I become security officer here. He was here to earn money for his life weapon ingredients."
"The place we work not very dangerous, mostly manage wild beasts in mountain or deal with traveller cultivator, patrol also annoying but okay lah. The officers here mostly from Immortal Alliance sects, so we get along well."
"Just that... Li Senior Brother ah, he too nice already. People say what he believe. That time we even joke ask him like who, he also don't get angry. Sometimes we talk dream also happy... like solve Hilbert 23 la, go challenge some top disciple la."
Talk until here, Xiang Qi sigh: "Because he too nice lor... if that time he listen to me, straight go back base, maybe he won't die…"
Wang Qi cut in: "Even I can tell lah, the enemy come prepared. Even if you bring me to the base, maybe still get ambush. If trap liao, maybe all die together."
Xiang Qi quietly say: "But... maybe he will survive. Just because of that 'maybe', I owe him a lot."
Wang Qi slowly test her mood, ask: "Senior sister, I think you a bit like angry wife wor."
Xiang Qi suddenly laugh. She wipe her eyes: "Not so bad lah. Friend pass away, sure sad one."
Wang Qi rest his head back on the railing: "Cultivator need do funeral or not?"
Xiang Qi shake her head: "If die during mission, got special place to bury one. Maybe they send to Wan Fa Sect tomb. But by the time we reach Xin Yue HQ, sure too late liao — and hor, you forget or not, soon got Immortal Alliance entrance test. You need get ready."
