Hua Qiyue was good at using Fire skills, so, Tianpi specially taught her the unique skill of Keep away from Sea of Fire.

Since the time Hua Qiyue entered the world of Qi Artist, she had read many books, but she hadn’t heard of these three unique skills before.

Hua Qiyue knew that this time, Tianpi taught her the strongest skills; otherwise, Tianpi wouldn’t get out of there if she died.

Hua Qiyue touched the shining characters, only to feel that an electric current got through her body. The characters on the scroll disappeared, but they clearly appeared in her mind.

Brilliant! This way, no one would steal the scrolls.

Hua Qiyue immediately went to the anima energy pool and sat cross-legged, practicing Curse to Make Spirit Die over and over again.

In just half a day, she familiarized herself with Curse to Make Spirit Die and started to practice the third skill Keep away from Sea of Fire. As for the power, Imprint of Mountain and River, it wasn’t as good as Keep away from Sea of Fire, because Fire was her forte.

Hua Qiyue’s mastery of the skills was very satisfactory for Tianpi. In this way, if Hua Qiyue was really faced with enemies, as long as they weren’t the best Qi Artists, she would be able to handle it.

Hua Qiyue received a message from Yun Shimo when she exited the Mysterious World. The message said that she should take twenty Ginsengs with Nine Souls, thirty Long Reds, ten Flowers of Thousand Spirits and twenty Back-to-Reality Grasses to Prince Nan’s mansion and meet with him.

Hua Qiyue had no idea why Yun Shimo wanted her. But it was said that Bingyi sent the message and he asked Hua Qiyue to go to Prince Nan’s mansion with Tianci immediately.

Tianci happened to come back from school and had not eaten dinner yet. Just then, Hua Qiyue took the magic medicines that Yun Shimo told her to take and hurriedly went to Prince Nan’s mansion with Tianci.

Although Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo had not gotten along for a very long time, Hua Qiyue couldn’t tell since when she had been less watchful toward Yun Shimo; maybe since they returned from the hunting grounds.

It was nightfall when she arrived at Prince Nan’s mansion.

But when she entered the mansion, she surprisingly saw that Ji Feng, Ji Jing and Huangfu Xuan were there, too. Yun Shimo looked very serious and said, “Please follow me.”

Hua Qiyue was a little confused.

“His Highness was told by an insider that Queen Liu asked the Liu’s family to cooperate with the Four Great Families to deal with you…” Ji Jing walked to Hua Qiyue and said in a low voice.

Hua Qiyue paused and felt warm in her heart, following Yun Shimo in silence to the high tower.

She also understood that Ji Feng, Ji Jing and Huangfu Xuan came here for her. In the past, Hua Qiyue had been thinking that Huangfu Xuan looked down upon her in his heart, but she didn’t expect that as soon as she was faced with difficulty, this man, who used to be her fiance, also came here.

Yun Shimo led them to the front of the high tower. Hua Qiyue’s facial expression became a little serious and she still remembered the first time when she had heard the cry, which was extremly odd.

However, this time, Yun Shimo decided to let her enter the tower?

What was hidden in that tower?

“Shimo, do you really want to take us into the tower? If you do it, the anima energy of heaven and earth in the tower will greatly lessen,” Ji Feng said anxiously.

The anima energy of heaven and earth?

Generally speaking, the anima energy came from nature, and the most precious was the anima energy of heaven and earth.

If the anima energy of heaven and earth existed inside the tower, then it was definitely a good place and it was almost the same as the Mysterious World.

“Emm, we have to do it now. It’ll be safer for the few of us to enter the tower. You know, Queen Liu might have arranged spies in my mansion,” Yun Shimo said calmly.

He walked to the two black gates, and Tianci was pop-eyed. He said, “Mom, Daddy’s high tower is so very strange, why are there so many strange things on the gates?”

Indeed, there were many strange symbols on the gates, which were so frightening that no one would look at them twice.

This was the most important place that belonged to Prince Nan’s mansion; no one had entered here except Bingyi, Qingtong and Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo stretched out his hands and complicated prints appeared on his hands. The prints, with the sharp air, finally landed on the gates. Suddenly, those symbols flew out of the gates and they shined with golden light, which was very holy and pure.

With the surprised stare of Hua Qiyue and others, the gates were slowly opened and it was dark inside the tower.

“Come in!” Yun Shimo said. He didn’t talk too much, but his voice made Hua Qiyue feel comfortable. Somehow, Hua Qiyue felt her heartbeat quicken.

Tianci held Hua Qiyue’s hand tightly and he seemed to be a little frightened. Hua Qiyue tenderly patted on Tianci’s head and said, “Don’t be frightened, Daddy won’t do anything to hurt you.”

The confidence and trust, which spontaneously arose from Tianci’s heart, helped him calm down.

When everyone entered the tower, its inside was suddenly lit up. They saw that there were eight beautiful Luminous Pearls of Five Elements that were hung on the wall. All of a sudden, the tower was filled with colorful lights, as beautiful as a fairyland.

This sight was totally different from what they had seen just then. Hua Qiyue was surprised inwardly about how this man was good at enjoying life.

On the first floor of the tower, there seemed to be no windows, but a stream of air, as cool as a breeze, was flowing in the room. Hua Qiyue inhaled heavily and she knew that it should be the anima energy of heaven and earth which was so strong, that it manifested as if they were surrounded by flows of air.

Ji Feng couldn’t help sighing and said, “This is indeed a perfect place, and if we cultivate here, we’ll be ten times faster than usual.”

“Awesome, brother Shimo. Am I allowed to practise here in the future?” Ji Jing said and was very excited. Everyone temporarily forgot the purpose of today’s summons.

“Anytime you want,” Yun Shimo said and glanced at Hua Qiyue. Tianci took out the luminous pearl that he broght here and he matched each bead of his luminous pearl to one luminous pearl on the wall, it turned out that they were the same.

“Daddy, there are so many luminous pearls!” Tianci blinked his eyes and cried excitedly.

Yun Shimo touched Tianci’s head with fondness and took him upstairs. The tower wasn’t very big, but it was as high as nighteen floors. The tower was surrounded by rigorous tactical arrays, so that no one outside the tower could hear any sounds from the inside.

Huangfu Xuan followed Hua Qiyue and he was excited when he saw Hua Qiyue’s graceful back.

The handrails were made of precious rosewood, on which lively and vigorous dragons and phoenixes were engraved.

The anima energy of heaven and earth on the second floor was stronger than that on the first floor.

Hua Qiyue saw that there was a pool of boiling blue water in the center of the second floor. There was a man of messy hair that was hanging above the pool, but no one could recognize his face because his head was hanging down.

But all over this man’s entire body was shining with a weird blue light. He looked as skinny as an air-dried corpse…

Everyone was disturbed the moment they saw this man; even Ji Feng, who was well-informed, also looked at that man in surprise.

Huangfu Xuan said, “Brother Yun, is he your enemy? Brother Yun, it’s said that women are the most vicious, but as far as I can see, a true man is the most vicious, right?”

While Yun Shimo answered calmly, “He isn’t my enemy, he’s my father!”

Hearing this, everyone looked at Yun Shimo with an even stranger look.

They would think it was a little cruel if he were Yun Shimo’s enemy, but this man was his father… that was so unbelievable!

“No way, brother Yun, you’re too cruel…”

“Brother Shimo, is… is… he alive?” Ji Jing said and she looked pale because this was the first time that she had seen such a frightening view.

Only Tianci looked at the blue pool and pointed at it, crying, “Wow, there is so much anima energy. I see a lot of anima energy flowing into that man!”

Everyone was once again surprised, while Hua Qiyue stared at what had happened in silence. She had felt it was unbelievable outside the tower, when she had heard the scream coming from the high tower before. But now, she was even more shocked when she saw this.

“He… only has a wisp of his soul left. “Now, to live in this world, for him is no better than being dead. So, I have to do this to keep him alive.”

Yun Shimo said calmly and there was a tinge of a grieved look that skimmed over his eyes and eyebrows.

At this moment, a tender and graceful woman came from upstairs. This woman was holding three strange stones which shined with blue light, and she was very happy when she saw Hua Qiyue and the others.

“Mo’er, are they your friends? Why did you bring them here?”

The woman said with her eyes slightly moist. However, when she saw Tianci, she stayed there motionless as if she had been attacked by electricity.

“Mom, they’re really my friends. This is Hua Qiyue that I mentioned to you before, and this is Hua Tianci.” Yun Shimo was unexpectedly serious and continued, saying, “This is my mother.”

“Old Madame Yun,” the others said, although they hadn’t met Yun Shimo’s family before. When they saw his family for the first time, they also understood that Yun Shimo had already regarded them as his trusted friends.

If the Emperor knew that this place was filled with anima energy of heaven and earth, he would definitely think that this was a place with a dragon vein, an assumption that was of course not good to Yun Shimo.

On the contrary, it would only bring him a fatal disaster. After all, the Emperor thought that this was a treasured place, which meant that Yun Shimo would probably be the new Emperor of the Changjing Kingdom in the future.

“Great, great! You should be casual and visit the tower. This will be a good place to practice since it has enough anima energy!” Old Madame Yun said. Although she was only over forty, she actually looked like a thirty-year old woman.

Everyone looked at each other. While Yun Shimo led them to the third floor in silence.

There was an old and classic table on the third floor. The surrounding stone chairs gleamed with blue light, and Tianci liked it very much. There were also several smooth stone beds and it looked like a place for practicing.

Yun Shimo sat down first. Hua Qiyue only felt very comfortable after she entered the place, and when she sat down, the cool anima energy of heaven and earth quickly flowed into her body.

Hua Qiyue couldn’t help praising and said, “Well, this is really a treasured place, nice! If I practice here, my promotion would arrive faster, won’t it?”

’No wonder Yun Shimo was so powerful. Perhaps he practiced here, didn’t he?’

“Hua Qiyue, the Queen has asked the Liu family to cooperate with the Four Great Families to deal with you. You and Tianci will be in great danger in one month… But I can’t promise that they’ll start to take action after one month, maybe they’ll attack you and Tianci at any moment… So, Tianci should stay here for safety,” Yun Shimo said and he fixedly looked at Tianci who was as happy as a little bird.

Everyone looked at each other and their faces slowly became serious.

Hua Qiyue frowned. Actually, she had learned three final hits from Tianpi, and she had eaten many medicine pellets and magic medicines these days to improve herself. So, she was able to protect Tianci in the future.

But she thought of her previous existence that she also had thought that Zhou Zhicheng would treat her and Tianci well, hadn’t she? She had also thought that she would provide a good life to Tianci, hadn’t she?
