Chapter 177 – Some News About Qinghan (2/2)
“Yes, Elder Qingniu! Everyone, please follow me!” Ye Qiang dashed to the front, and extended his hand while leading them to the meeting hall.
……
“Elder Baihu, where is Elder Tianlong? Is there any news about the current condition of Qinghan? Have you figured out any way to save him?” Hardly had everyone got themselves seated, or Qingwu had reeled off a couple of questions. Everyone tossed their heads towards Baihu, wishing to receive some good news about young lord Qinghan.
“Our leader has gone to Dragon City!” Embarrassed by the expectant glances he received, Ye Baihu helplessly sighed, “As for Qinghan, up until now, I can assure you that he’s alright. But… whether he can get out of the Luo Shen Mountain or not, it all depends on his own ability.” He suddenly halted, as he swept his eyes over the crowd, but when he saw the disheartened expression on Qingwu’s face, he added, “According to the analysis of our ancestor, Qinghan has a 60% chance of getting out of the mountain after five years when the Heaven Path opens.”
“Elder Baihu, are you sure? I hope you’re not lying to us.” At the beginning, Qingwu’s eyes lit up when she had heard this good news, at least she had a 60% of chance to reunite with Qinghan in five years. But, on second thought, she raised some doubts about this answer. She could remember vividly how severe Qinghan had been injured: the ruptured bones and the massive hemorrhage… Plus, throughout history, she had never heard of anyone that had the ability and luck to get out of the mountain, if he had entered through the white fog rather than the Heaven Path.
“Baihu, what you just said is true?” Qingniu stared at Baihu’s face, for he was also eager to know of Qinghan’s condition.
“Of course, this is what our ancestor told us. But, in my opinion, the odds are only around 40%. I’ll explain it to you later!” Baihu conveyed his voice to Qingniu, before he turned to others and said, “This information is confirmed by our leader. Five years later, when the Heaven Path opens, I hope all of the Emperor-Realm cultivators in the Mars Prefecture will come to help us to find Qinghan.”
“Yeah, what Baihu said is true. I can assure you that this is the truth. Qingwu, Qingcheng, you two are supposed to cultivate hard to reach the Realm of the Emperor, so that you’ll be able to join on this adventure in five years!” Qingniu interrupted.
Looking at the sincerity in Baihu’s eyes, and the solemn expression on Qingniu’s face, Qingwu and Qingcheng burst into happy tears.
“Thank goodness. He’s still alive. There is still hope that we can meet him in five years!”
This definitely was good news for these two girls, for they would strive to find him even if there was only a 10% chance to do so. Encouraged by Qingniu’s remarks, they both made their revolution to cultivate hard in order to contribute their due efforts in saving Qinghan five years from now.
“Great! This piece of news is just like a good rain after a long drought! I mean, I was so depressed all these days since I thought I lost one of my best friends already. But, look, you give us hope! In five years, we’ll see him again! I believe he can eventually make it out!” Feng Zi was so elated, that he slapped his own thighs as he talked, and the light in his eyes showed his feeling was genuine rather than a pretended one.
“Five years later, I promise I’ll go and save young lord Qinghan!” Sainan also stood up, taking her vow.
“Me too!” Hua Cao also showed his willingness to join the rescue efforts.
“Thanks so much… we really appreciate your help! If Qinghan, as we wish, comes back out in five years, our Ye Family will reward each one of you with grand rewards!” Baihu cupped his hands, as he expressed his gratitude. At the same time, he really wished to thank Qinghan for his ability in sociable skills. In the past, Qinghan had been low-profiled in the Ye Family, and some even attributed his unpopularity to his own personality. But now, everything had changed. Not only had he won the heart of the Holy Virgin of the Yue Family, he had even gotten on good terms with these young lords and ladies, who had now all vowed to help him in five years.
At the same time, Qingcheng bit her red lips, while turning to Qingniu, “Elder Qingniu, I… I have a small request, though I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask at this moment or not. But, would you allow me to have a look at Miss Qingyu?”
