Against all propriety and morals, vile and despicable thoughts of drugging her had come into his mind, to force her into an intimate relationship with him.

And Qing Yu who had never been guarded against her elder brother would never have thought that he would ever do something like this. If it wasn’t for Qing Ye Li who was always watching her by her side, it was feared that the step siblings might have broken the taboo by engaging in an licentious relationship.

Even since then, the lively and innocent young girl who loved to laugh so much then seemed to grow up and mature in an instant, becoming cold and highly aloof.

Hearing the name Qing Tian Lin once again, Qing Yu’s eyes dimmed for a brief moment, but recovered very quickly. "Is he..... dead?"

"I’m not sure." Qing Ye Li knitted up his brows, seemingly a little vexed.

"Not sure? What does that mean?"

"I had injured him severely that day, and all his meridians had been completely severed. He was struggling on his last breaths but he stopped breathing very abruptly. I felt that was rather suspicious as my impression of him was that he was not someone who would die so easily."

Qing Yu’s eyes flashed with a glint. "I remember that he secretly learned the Family Clan’s forbidden techniques and one of it among them..... was a technique that allows him to resurrect his soul through dying corpses. It can be employed when people are just about to die but still on their last breaths, where he can then devour that person’s spirit to gain new life. As devouring a live person’s spirit soul was just too insidious, when the previous Clan Head was in power, he set a rule that if it was discovered that anyone secretly learned such forbidden techniques, they would be punished by having their spirits severely wounded, and their cultivation completely dispersed. But Qing Tian Lin had been very smart. Even though he had been practising them for many years, he was already able to conceal his forbidden technique’s aura."

Qing Ye Li’s turned dark when he heard that. "You mean..... that he could still be alive? And could possibly have come to this other world like us!"

"I will not deny that possibility." Qing Yu said.

"Then aren’t you in even greater danger?" Qing Ye Li’s face creased up in worry. "You need to go back with me to the Water Edge. In that way, I can at least protect you."

"Aren’t you thinking of me as being too weak?" Qing Yu shook her head in helplessness. "In the previous life, I had had no other choice as I was unable to bring myself to strike Qing Tian Lin. Even though in the end he had..... But he had once treated me with a sincere heart in the past afterall."

It was always so cold and unfeeling in large family clans. Qing Yu’s parents had both died when she was very young and she had been brought up by her grandfather. Qing Tian Lin was the only kin that made her feel the warmth of kinship and that was why at the very end, she would rather choose her own death in order to grant him his maniacal ambitions and tyranny.

Qing Yu’s gaze turned to look gently outside. The handsome looking youth was sitting quietly outside. He was clearly still reading his book intently but his gaze would occasionally drift over her way, seemingly curious about what the people inside were discussing about, but still remained seated steadfastly outside, looking like he was just keeping watch for them out there.

Qing Ye Li saw that the aura around her had turned to become highly gentle and he then noticed the direction of her gaze.

"That child is....."

"That’s my younger brother, Qing Bei." Qing Yu’s lips curled up slightly in a smile. "I cannot go with you to the Water Edge. But at least we have met and it’s good enough that you know that I am here. You do not have to worry about me as people who have died once treasure their lives very much more and if anyone intends to bring me harm....."

The corners of the young lady’s smile then deepened, her beautiful facial features becoming absolutely dazzling and gorgeous. "I will have their lives first."
