Chapter Nineteen: One Word Curse

  Investigating Qian Yiqun's past and present, he was never a naive and kind child. He believed that "those who are pitied must have something hateful about them", and even more so that "one reaps what one sows". Letting him take the life of Wei Laogou would at most bring him a sigh, and would not leave him entangled.

  However, it is unknown from what time on, Qian Yiqun began to pay more and more attention to the words of the immortal in the book.

  The book's warning about Xian's frailty, as if he might die at any moment, instantly dissipated his motivation to kill.

  Qian Yiqun looked at Wei Laogou, whose eyes were bright red and breathing rapidly, and thought to himself: For the time being, let's not mention whether this demon spirit will hinder the host after returning to the Demon Spirit Return Scroll. According to the book, Xian means immortal, so she definitely doesn't want this demon spirit to return and accompany her. If he were to directly kill Wei Laogou, he didn't know if it would have a bad impact on Xian in the book.

  Not to mention offending the "beauty", just losing a knowledgeable guide is already a huge loss!

  If Wei Lao Gou is allowed to escape and spout nonsense, Qian Yiqun's crime of killing someone in broad daylight will be impossible to cover up.

  Qian Datong had never seen through his son's thoughts, and even had a blind trust in this "genius son". Even when Qian Yiqun brought down a disaster on the family, he didn't blame his son at all. Instead, he dug up every possible trick that could be used in the government office and thought of every connection that might come in handy.

  Seeing his son standing still for a long time, Qian Datong finally spoke up and asked: "My son?"

  "I won't kill you." Qian Yiqun thought to himself several times before making up his mind.

  The old dog was startled, his eyes gradually clearing up, and he repeated in a slow tone: "You... won't... kill... me?"

  "Don't kill." Qian Yiqun looked at Wei Laogou, "The man last night wanted to kill you, I didn't like the look of him, so I want you to live, live well."

  "This..."

  Not only was Wei Lao Gou stunned, but even Qian Da Tong was shocked by this reason. The former was because he suddenly understood the intention of the person last night and had a lingering fear in his heart, while the latter was because his son's recklessness had exceeded his acceptable range. In Qian Da Tong's eyes, Qian Yi Qun was a mature and far-sighted young man. Such childish words were still unheard from his own son's mouth for the first time.

  "Disappear from sight and be a slave by my side," Qian Yiqun's hand holding the sword raised high, said, "or die on the spot, choose one."

  The old guard dog hesitated for a moment, then his body swayed and his figure gradually faded away into the air.

  Qian Yiqun slightly closed his eyes, tilted his head to listen, and indeed heard the faint sound of footsteps. Wei Laogou's voice soon rang out beside him: "Thank you, Master Qian, for sparing my life. I am willing to follow you and serve as your loyal servant! If..."

  "You're clever," Qian Yiqun smiled slightly, "not only did you save your life, but you also want me to help you avenge? Let me tell you, the person last night was not inferior to me, and he wanted to take your dog's life. I was able to protect you, which is already your good fortune!"

  Guardian old dog Nono, dare not speak much.

  Qian Yiqun turned to his father and said, "Father, this old dog has some use, I want to keep him as a servant, but I don't know how to clean up this mess."

  Qian Datong felt a slight headache, looking at the three charred corpses, the stench had already spread, and the neighbors would probably come out to check. He said: "You quickly go inside. Today's matter is that Wei Lao Gou privately escaped, the Wen family members bravely intercepted him but were killed by him, you also suffered serious injuries, and in the end, let that old dog escape. Do you understand?"

  "The son understands." Qian Yiqun hastily turned around and the large gate behind him was immediately closed, it can be seen that the old guard dog also had discerning eyes.

  Qian Datong hastily went in and changed his clothes, mounted a fake embroidered spring knife, and went to the public middle school to find Guanjie.

  Qian Yiqun listened to the growing noise outside and said as he walked in, "You should know what kind of person Wen's family is. The warrant for Wen's arrest will probably be issued today."

  There was a hoarse voice beside him saying: "Yes, young master is right."

  "If you are loyal to me, I may avenge you in the future." Qian Yiqun said seemingly unintentionally, "If there is any treachery..."

  "Old slave remembers!" Lao Gou hurriedly said, "Old slave would never dare have a disloyal heart towards young master!"

  Qian Yiqun only slightly relaxed, until he saw the cunning fox, and then he completely let go of his worries. Under any complex situation, Lao Jiao Shou would always have some fresh perspectives that would surprise people.

  The fox stared at Qian Yiqun for a long time and said, "You don't look like a kind-hearted person."

  "My brother has been kind-hearted since childhood! There is a saying that he fears hurting ants while walking, and loves to protect the moths from lamp shades..."

  "Stop your nonsense!" The fox said, "If you spare him, he will be a disaster, why not just stab him with one sword... Ah, the seal is lifted so quickly?"

  The fox saw the treasure sword behind Qian Yiqun and his eyes lit up, even his tone couldn't help but rise.

  Qian Yiqun's hand tightened around the hilt of his sword, thinking to himself: Could it be that this sword is connected to its spiritual body? He had never seen him so anxious before.

  The fox circled around Qian Yiqun's back, staring at the treasure sword with a look of intoxication, shaking its head and saying: "Tsk tsk, to break the seal with anger, to return with blood, what a wonderful fate! A thousand years of doubts were resolved in an instant, how refreshing!" Although it said so, in its heart, it felt a bit sentimental: this young man's five elements are strong in wood, and he is probably even stronger than that.

  Everyone has the five elements, and when the five elements are transformed into the five emotions, they become: liver wood governs anger, heart fire governs joy, spleen earth governs thought, lung metal governs worry, and kidney water governs fear. Qian Yiqun was impulsive and killed people, unable to restrain himself. Normally he looked old and cautious, but once provoked, he would draw his sword and kill people. This was because his liver wood was strong and his anger was abundant, making it difficult for him to control himself once he was triggered.

  This kind of person is not deep in city, impulsive and hasty, so the fortune-telling book often says that this kind of person will always encounter setbacks in human relationships. Once they hold strong power, they will be like Qian Yiqun, prone to violence, and it's hard for them to live a long life.

  Qian Yiqun was still a normal person before he met the fox spirit, at most just having a bad temper. After being possessed by the Lingyu, the five zang and six fu organs communicated with it, making the strong even stronger, so the liver's energy became far superior to that of ordinary people. Although it was the source of his power, it also led him to cross the red line into becoming an "impulsive criminal".

  If it weren't for this intense anger, the sword seal would not have been lifted. It is indeed a blessing in disguise, and a disaster turned into good fortune. Let's take another look, perhaps someone will come to polish this uncut jade.

  The fox had made up its mind and didn't say much more. On its long-haired face, only a look of intoxication remained.

  "Brother Fox, can you make it clearer?" Qian Yiqun knew this was related to his first piece of equipment, and he turned around to smile at the fox, completely unaware that the fox's mind had turned so many twists and turns.

  "I always thought this sword belonged to Xiao You, but it turns out it's Xiao Ying's." The fox smiled and said, "No wonder I couldn't figure it out. It seems that in the end, Xiao Ying forgave Xiao You; otherwise, this sword wouldn't have ended up in Xiao You's hands... None of this has anything to do with you, let's talk about your follower instead - are you just going to let him follow you like this?"

  Qian Yiqun opened the door and let Wei Laogou follow him in. After confirming that there were only two people and a fox inside, he ordered Wei Laogou to reveal his true form and prepare for battle. Qian Shao sat on the drum stool, coughed lightly, and said, "To be honest, I really don't feel at ease with him following me like this all the time."

  The old dog was just about to express his loyalty when he saw the fox's yellow-green eyes scanning him, and he was so scared that he shut his mouth.

  "Don't be too proud of yourself." Qian Yiqun glanced at Wei Laogou and said in a bad tone, "Everyone knows each other's bottom line. Let me ask you, if someone gave you some kind of poison to secretly calculate against me, and offered you an antidote in exchange, what would you do?"

  "What a life-threatening situation, just looking at the few taels of silver is enough." The fox said with schadenfreude, "You clearly know he's unreliable, yet you still let him stay by your side? Moreover, he's the master of a demonic possession, your skills are not high but your courage is quite great."

  "So let's see what Fox Brother has up his sleeve to put me at ease." Qian Yiqun smiled and said, "Fox Brother is all-knowing and will definitely have a good solution."

  The fox's eyes rolled over: "Don't flatter me, it's useless! I'm just a wild fox under the tree, what do I know? If you want me to say something, you have to answer my question first."

  "How dare you not speak your mind?"

  "How did you know about our family's ancestor?" Bai Ze stared at Qian Yiqun.

  Qian Yiqun's throat tightened, almost choking on his own saliva. From the moment he saw this fox until now, it had only said that it was an ancient spirit breed, never saying that it was a Bai Ze. Thinking about it, he didn't even understand what kind of creature an ancient spirit breed was, and if he were to guess, he would definitely be looked down upon.

  Oh dear, it's all because I let something slip!

  Qian Yiqun burst out laughing and said, "It was the 'Bai Mei Tu' that told me." In an instant, he had already made his decision and clearly explained the cause and effect of the immortal in the book. The immortal in the book was obviously extremely afraid of Bai Ze, and putting her under Bai Ze's control would only make her more dependent on him in the future.

  Bai Ze dispels demons and won't be afraid of the immortal in the book. However, Bai Ze also has the fate of restoring his spiritual fetus and grasping his own life in his hands, so he doesn't dare to act rashly.

  Qian Yiqun now knows that it's better to speak out and be thorough, by exposing the existence of Shu Xiang in the book to increase Bai Ze's favorability, while also tightening his control over Shu Xiang. What's the harm in doing something beneficial without any drawbacks?

  Bai Ze didn't react, but the "Bai Mei Tu" in his arms transmitted a slight tremble.

  "There are people in this world who have a good appearance and demeanor, yet they can't be relied upon. What's more, there are those whose shadows can't even be seen?" Bai Ze interrupted with a sentence, not dwelling on the topic, and returned to the main issue, "If you want to keep this person, it's not a problem, there are many methods that can be used. Setting aside what you don't know, there is a single word curse that can be used."

  Qian Yiqun's eyes shone brightly as he stared at Bai Ze.
