C1170

Tuoba Rui squinted his eyes, and sent the disciple down, while he himself pondered in his room, to see if he could find any clues.

As time passed, the hundred sects continuously retreated to the west border. The Limitless Sword Sect was not good to be special, so they began to slowly retreat.

Tuoba Rui still did not give up on gathering evidence. He had been waiting in the small courtyard the entire time, sending people to observe the mother and daughter duo. They did not leave first.

Today, he was drinking tea in the small courtyard when Shi Qingwan walked in. Currently, she rarely appeared in front of Tuoba Rui, and it was indeed because she was afraid last time that she only came here occasionally.

"Senior brother Tuoba." She called for someone to come into the yard.

Tuoba Rui did not say a word, and only continued drinking his tea.

"Senior brother, when are you going back? We can go together." Shi Qingwan took the initiative.

Tuoba Rui raised his brows, and asked: "When are you leaving?"

"Me?" Shi Qingwan was startled, he obviously did not expect Tuoba Rui to actually talk to her, but he quickly reacted and said: "I can do it anytime, it's fine looking at you."

"You won't go with your mother?" Tuoba Rui asked again.

"No, my mother said she would not leave until later. She will have to wait for a while." Shi Qingwan said.

Tuoba Rui's thoughts were basically confirmed.

"Then Senior Brother, when are you leaving?" Shi Qingwan asked again.

"Since I still have to take care of the aftermath, I'm in no hurry to leave. I'll stay and help." Tuoba Rui said.

He always felt that there was still something on the west border that had yet to come to an end. He wanted to stay and see just what exactly it was.

Shi Qingwan thought that he wanted to leave a good impression on Shi Xuejun, so he nodded his head while smiling: "Alright, then I'll be waiting for the both of you to leave as well."

Seeing her attitude, Tuoba Rui felt a little strange. She wanted him to stay just like that? Was she not afraid of exposing herself, or did she not know the inside story?

But now, no matter how he thought about it, it was still a guess. He had to slowly gather evidence.

Shi Qingwan did not know anything about the Myriad Spirit Pill, nor did she know what her mother wanted to do. She only had one thought in her mind, does Tuoba Rui doing this now mean that he could slowly accept her?

Just as she was about to walk forward again, Tuoba Rui frowned. "Go out."

Shi Qingwan did not understand, but she still nodded her head: "Alright."

Their relationship had finally eased a little, and she couldn't afford to ruin it any further.

She walked out of the courtyard and returned to her own room. Her emotions had changed from the cloud that did not frame Hua Ruge previously to the clear sky today.

Because the number of people who could pass through the teleportation circle was limited, and because there were many injured people here, the full retreat would not be completed in a short period of time. It would take at least half a month, and of course there would be some heavily injured soldiers left.

Most of the Limitless Sword Sect people had left, with the exception of a few who were injured and the ones taking care of the injured, only Tuoba Rui was left.

In order to prevent Shi Xuejun from suspecting anything, he had even pulled out his spy. Many times, he would just keep an eye on Shi Xuejun's movements.

But Shi Xuejun had nothing to look at, he was in his room every day.

Shi Qingwan couldn't wait to leave, so he knocked on Shi Xuejun's door.

"Mother, when are you leaving?" Shi Qingwan immediately asked.

Shi Xuejun frowned: "Wait a little longer, why haven't you left yet?"

"Didn't you tell me to go with Tuoba Rui? When I went to look for him, he said that he would help me take care of it before leaving." Shi Qingwan said as he walked in front of Shi Xuejun, "So mother, when do you plan to leave?"

"Why?" Shi Xuejun frowned even more tightly as he wondered if Tuoba Rui had discovered something, or if there was some other reason.

"I guess he wanted to show off in front of you. He wanted to please you first, then marry me." Shi Qingwan laughed.

Shi Xuejun was not so optimistic.

"I don't have anything else I can help you with. Take him and leave first." Shi Xuejun said.

Tuoba Rui was too smart a person, she was afraid that he would really see through her.

Shi Qingwan was curious: "Mother, I don't think there is anything good to do here anymore, what are you still staying for?"

"I have my own matters to take care of. I'll tell Tuoba Rui that I need to see the situation stabilize before I leave." Shi Xuejun explained.

Shi Qingwan nodded his head: "Alright, I'll go say it now."

Although she didn't understand in her heart, her heart was now filled with Tuoba Rui, so she didn't pursue the matter.

At the same time, Tuoba Rui walked to the Western Sea by himself. The river surface which was previously dyed red with blood had now returned to a deep blue color, but Tuoba Rui felt that the killing intent here was even stronger than before.

If it were someone else, they would not have minded, but he had seen the Myriad Spirit Pill in the secret realm with its killing intent still lingering in its body, and he had also seen Hua Ruge being controlled by the killing intent until now.

Right now, he could faintly sense an aura of the same type from the surface of the sea.

He narrowed his eyes at the surface of the sea and decided not to come to a conclusion so soon. He would observe for a few days.

When Shi Qingwan went to look for him that day, he would immediately chase her out and declare that he was going to go into closed door cultivation for a few days, and would not leave for the next few days.

When Shi Xuejun heard this news, she also didn't believe that it was a coincidence.

Tuoba Rui, what exactly does he know?

Both sides were fighting on the other side, while Hua Ruge was curious as to why Tuoba Rui had not returned after such a long time.

Shangguan Li told her that according to the news, almost all of the healthy disciples had left the western border, and only Tuoba Rui was still living in that small courtyard.

Hua Ruge rolled his eyes: "Don't try to sow discord, I can still trust my own man."

"You're in a hurry if I trust you?"

"To understand me, you need to find a man." Hua Ruge gave her an ambiguous look: "I think that Peacock King is not bad."

Shangguan Li felt a headache hearing such words, and quickly replied: "Forget it, I don't want to understand."

"If you want me to say that you are overly insecure, then believe me, a good man can definitely cure you." Hua Ruge persevered.

"If you keep talking, I don't care about food." Shangguan Li was helpless to do anything to her.

Hua Ruge, however, didn't mind. "If I don't eat today, I still need to go to the academy to have a look. The small house and the small palace are pretty much finished, we're just missing a few main palaces.

"It won't be too late for me to go when it's completed." Shangguan Li, as someone who was not curious, expressed that he was immune to such things.

"How boring." Hua Ruge cursed, and then left by himself.

Shangguan Li ignored her retort and returned back to his room.

A few nights later, Tuoba Rui came out of the small courtyard. With just a few jumps in the air, he arrived at the western seaside, and upon closer inspection, he discovered that the baleful aura he was emitting was even stronger than two days ago.

This time, he could clearly feel that the Myriad Spirit Pill would release a powerful killing intent.0
