Chapter 89 Struggle for secrets
Xin Shuangqing waved his hand and said, "Calm down. This is a very important matter, and we must not act rashly. We’ll first bring him back to the Sword Lake Palace and serve him food and drinks, then interrogate him in detail."
Li Qiang immediately stood up and excitedly said, "This is for the best. If you can entertain me well, I will tell you everything I know."
Xin Shuangqing looked at Li Qiang and saw that he had no fear on his face. He thought to himself, "Could it be that you’re not afraid at all?"
Li Qiang calmly smiled and said, "What’s there to be afraid of? You’re all family members, would you even harm me?"
Xin Shuangqing shook his head. He felt that the person in front of him was very strange, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly where he was, so he could only bring Li Qiang to the Sword Lake Palace. He found a random room for him to stay in and let him change into a clean set of daoist robes before bringing him food.
The food in the Immeasurable Sword Sect was very simple. Three plates of vegetables and a bowl of rice were already considered delicious for Li Qiang. He immediately wolfed it down.
Xin Shuqing couldn’t help but laugh at his comical way of eating. "Are you a reincarnated hungry ghost? Eat slowly, and no one will snatch it away from you."
Li Qiang burped and drank a bowl of tea before saying, "To tell you the truth, miss, when I was both hungry and sleepy, I really thought I was going to turn into a ghost."
Xin Shuangqing probed, "Where are you from? From the sound of it, you don’t sound like a local."
Li Qiang said, "I’m from Dali City. I came here to sightsee, but there was an accident on the river. That’s why I’m here."
Xin Shuangqing said, "Since you’re not a local, how do you know about the Immeasurable Jade Wall?"
Li Qiang immediately said, "That’s because a long time ago, I read a book that had the story of the Infinity Jade Wall written on it."
Xin Shuangqing thought, "This person doesn’t seem to be speaking truthfully. I’ll ask him again to find out more about him." He then asked, "Then tell me, how did you read the story?"
Li Qiang thought this was funny. "I’m familiar with this story from the bottom of my heart. It comes the moment I open my mouth." He said, "You Immeasurable Sword Sect people have seen a male and a female immortal sword dance on the Immeasurable Jade Wall, right? Then the man left and only the woman was left to swing her sword, wasn’t she? "
Xin Shuangqing turned pale with fright. "It looks like you really know about this matter?"
Li Qiang said complacently, "Of course. If I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have mentioned this to you guys. You’d better bring me to see your Master. This way, I can tell her more secrets."
Xin Shuangqing stared at Li Qiang and said, "You said that you read all these stories in a book? "What was the name of the book?"
Li Qiang blurted out, "Have you heard of the Eight Tribes of the Sky Dragon?"
Xin Shuangqing shook his head and said, "This word seems to be from the scriptures of Buddhism. Does it really exist in this book?"
Li Qiang said, "If you want to see that book, then you can only say that you’re sorry. That book has already been burned, but I still remember some details. So if you want to know more, please take care of me. I can tell you everything."
When Xin Shuangqing heard this, he couldn’t help but be elated. He walked up to Li Qiang and gently said, "Brother, my master is currently cultivating behind closed doors and is not hiding anything. If you know about the Forever-jade wall, tell me everything, and I will definitely not treat you unfairly." As he spoke, he moved closer to Li Qiang, seeming to be extremely intimate with him.
The secrets of the Infinity Jade Wall were extremely attractive to the disciples, from the Sect Leader to the disciples, they were all obsessed with it. Now that Li Qiang said that he knew the ins and outs of the matter, for Xin Shuangqing, it was obviously a great treasure that he had picked up and would not let go even if he died.
The reason why Li Qiang said all of this back then was simply to make use of this matter to temporarily eat and drink. However, when he saw Xin Shuangqing’s beautiful face brimming with emotion, he knew how important this matter was to her. His heart skipped a beat and he said with a smile, "If you really want to know that secret, you must promise me a few things."
He took out a dagger from his robe, held it against Li Qiang’s throat, and said sternly, "Now you are in my control. Whether you live or die will be up to me. What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me? If you want to survive, quickly tell me the secret of the Infinity Jade Wall. Otherwise, you will die right now! "
Li Qiang didn’t expect the beautiful nun in front of him to turn hostile so quickly and was stunned. After a while, he smiled and said, "Don’t be so excited. If you call me big brother again, I’ll tell you."
Xin Shuangqing said gently, "Good brother, if you could tell me the secret of the Infinity Jade Wall, I would be able to call out dozens or even hundreds of times."
Just as Li Qiang was about to speak, he suddenly heard someone speak from outside the door, "Shuangqing, without my order, you actually dare to question this person in private. Are you looking down on me, your master?"
When Xin Shuangqing heard this voice, he was scared out of his wits and immediately stood up, respectfully lowering his head and saying, "Master, please do not misunderstand. Because you are cultivating behind closed doors, I would like to interrogate this person on your behalf to prevent any mishaps in the future."
