Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass

Chapter 432: So Jealous I Could Die 7

Meanwhile, inside an inn…

After adjusting his breath and taking medicine many times, Shang Li’s internal injuries were 70% healed. When he found some free time, he went over to talk to Gongsun She, whose internal injuries were only 30% healed. “I have conducted an investigation.”

“Huh?” Gongsun She was already sitting upright as he meditated. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and looked at Shang Li quietly.

Shang Li feigned casualness as he said, “You wanted to stay at Qi Qingyao’s home back then, and you even wanted Qi Qingyao to follow you back to Daming.”

“…” Gongsun She nodded non-committedly.

He neither admitted nor denied it.

Shang Li did not continue. He first called for the servant to serve up some rice and dishes. He said as he ate, “Pang Juan is already dead. If a messenger hawk is used, it’s likely that those in Eastern Ling have received the news. If we count the time, this news is also probably going to be spread across half the continent soon.”

“What are you trying to say?” Gongsun She looked down, obviously not wanting to continue the conversation.

Shang Li said, “Pang Juan wanted to take Qi Qingyao’s second daughter as his disciple, while you wanted to bring Qi Qingyao back to Daming. You appear to see her as some sort of fated person.”

“So, you found out about this. Shang Li, you do know quite a fair bit of things.” Damn it, he would have virtually no hope of whisking Qi Qingyao away if this guy also came to know of it.

However, since that young grand master was around, it would be very hard to abduct that little lady anyway.

Shang Li smiled very profoundly. “I saved your life this time. Your injuries are still not healed as of now. If I wanted to…”

Gongsun She conceded readily, “I definitely won’t be able to defeat you now.”

Still smiling, Shang Li said, “So, let’s talk about it. Tell me just what is going on.” Ever since his loss to Si Jin, Shang Li realized that the momentum of the world’s history was probably about to be turned on its head.

There was hope that the former seven grand masters would soon be eight, but unfortunately…Pang Juan died.

Si Jin filled the seventh spot, so the world remained to have seven grand masters.

However, what was different was that the boy’s strength was definitely greater than that of any of the other six grand masters! He was easily in a position where he could crush the others.

Back then, all their strengths were about equal. Neither of them could kill the other. Now, someone who could easily kill a grand master has appeared.

Even though he was from the same nation as him, Shang Li felt a strong sense of panic.

This was the first time since his birth that he was anxious to find a fated person in the hopes of breaking through as soon as possible.

“Isn’t it just that?” Gongsun She laughed lightly and said lazily, “I’m sure you’ve heard quite a bit about the story of the fated person, haven’t you?”

Shang Li frowned. He was silent for a long time before he said, “Isn’t that just a legend?”

Was it just a legend? He had also thought that way. He even wished that it was nothing more than a legend. Gongsun She said expressionlessly, “When I first met that woman, I felt that she and I hit it off quite well. After that, something happened—something unexpected—and then I could not stop feeling that she was the fated person.” Pausing for a bit, Gongsun She added, “That young grand master, it could very well be that he had just recently ascended to the level of grand master…or above!”

Shang Li could not help but interject, “So what you’re saying is that because he had been close to the woman, he could ascend continuously? And that is how he broke through the limits so quickly.”

“This is all just my theory,” Gongsun She said.

“The news outside…” Shang Li began. It was said that Si Jin was already a few hundred years old and that he had regained his youthful appearance! Even Qi Qingyao’s children were Si Jin’s…

“I’ve heard all those rumors. I even bought information from the Zhaixing Administration. The stories were spread by Pei Fengtang and Lu Yan’s people. That’s why it’s not worth trusting it.” Gongsun She shook his head.
