74: Chapter 74 Zhao Xiaoyou, why do you need to do this?

The next morning.

Qin Xiao, accompanied by Min Wanrou, arrived in front of Zhao Qing's room.

Knock, knock!

Qin Xiao knocked on the door twice gently. "Young Friend Zhao, are you inside?"

There was no response after a while!

Knock, knock!

Qin Xiao knocked twice more.

"It seems Young Friend Zhao is not in this room."

Qin Xiao frowned and said to Min Wanrou.

"Not here? If my husband is not in the room, where could he have gone?"

Min Wanrou said with a worried expression. Her husband's injuries had not yet recovered, and on top of that, he had obtained an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique that required meditation; logically speaking, he would not easily leave his room.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

As he spoke, Qin Xiao pushed the door open and walked inside.

After entering, he discovered the room was empty. Only a Secret Manual and a note were left on the table; Zhao Qing was nowhere to be seen.

Qin Xiao picked up the note and read it.

"To my beloved wife Wanrou: My dear, I have left. I intend to Cultivate alone and search for Cultivation resources. Do not worry about me. Take good care of yourself and return to Qingtao Town to wait for me. Once I reach the Yin Yang Realm and resolve the issues with my crippled body, I will return to pick you up. Also, please thank Senior Cao on my behalf for saving my life. I have left the Secret Manual on the table..."

"Sigh! Young Friend Zhao, why go through all this trouble?"

After reading it, Qin Xiao sighed and handed it to Min Wanrou.

"Husband!"

After reading it, Min Wanrou's eyes filled with tears, and she felt deeply pained. How difficult it was to reach the Yin Yang Realm! Even with an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique, it was not easy to achieve a Breakthrough. Perhaps this departure would be a final farewell.

"Rest assured, Madam Zhao. Young Friend Zhao likely hasn't gone far. I will help you find him."

Seeing Min Wanrou crying and in pain, Qin Xiao felt a pang of sympathy and comforted her softly.

"There is no need, Senior. I understand my husband's temperament. Since he has made his decision, it must have been well thought out. Even if you find him, Senior, he will not return with you. Let him Cultivate outside!"

Min Wanrou hurriedly refused. The couple had been together for decades and understood each other's temperaments very well. She knew that her husband did not know how to face her for the time being, which was why he decided to leave alone.

However, she also believed that once her husband had sorted out his thoughts, he would definitely come back for her. Therefore, she planned to return to Qingtao Town and wait for his return.

"Sigh! How difficult it is to reach the Yin Yang Realm. Although Young Friend Zhao has decent talent, achieving a Breakthrough is not an easy matter."

Qin Xiao sighed, then turned to look at Min Wanrou and asked softly.

"Where does Madam Zhao plan to go next?"

"I plan to return to Qingtao Town to wait for my husband. It is the place where we both grew up."

Min Wanrou said softly.

"Is that so? That is a pity. I actually had something I wanted to ask for Madam Zhao's help with!"

Seeing that Min Wanrou was about to leave, a strange look flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes. He sighed and said feignedly.

"Senior, what do you need my help with? Please, feel free to ask. As long as it is within this Junior's capabilities, I will do my utmost to accomplish it."

Seeing that Qin Xiao needed her help, Min Wanrou was taken aback, then spoke without hesitation.

Qin Xiao had shown great kindness to the couple; if not for Qin Xiao, they would have already died. Therefore, no matter what request Qin Xiao made, as long as she could do it, she would never refuse.

"I intend to go to Jizhou City to handle a matter and need an assistant. I wonder if Madam Zhao has the time."

Qin Xiao pondered for a moment before speaking.

"This... naturally, I have time. Being able to help you, Senior, is this Junior's honor."

Min Wanrou did not even ask what it was about and agreed.

"Then thank you, Madam Zhao!"

Seeing that Min Wanrou had agreed, a flash of joy appeared in Qin Xiao's eyes, but it was quickly hidden.

...

Outside Spiritwind City.

A youth dressed in black robes, carrying a giant sword on his back, walked slowly toward Spiritwind City with steady and powerful strides.

"Qingwu, upon this return, I finally have the ability to take you out of this sea of suffering."

Ye Tian muttered to himself. Thinking of the promise he made to the young girl when he left, a gentle expression appeared on his face.

Soon, he walked into the city.

"I didn't expect the old master of the Qin Family to be so powerful. He actually managed to reach the Magic Power Realm without anyone noticing. Even the Lei Family's retainer was no match for him and was defeated and captured."

"Indeed. If the Lei Family hadn't suddenly come to cause trouble this time, the old master of the Qin Family's strength probably wouldn't have been exposed!"
