AST 1537 - Lies Can Also Become The Truth



“Why are you thanking me? You’ve done so much for me . Shouldn’t I be thanking you too?”

“I don’t know . I suddenly feel that the distance between us has shortened, yet I’m still unable to hold you . ” Qing Shui spoke with a wry smile on his face .

Previously, Qing Shui had told her that depending on how long he could extend the lifespan of her grandfather, she had to follow him for the same duration . However, he treated it as a joke in the end since he wasn’t really that type of person . If he took it seriously, Qin Qing would only feel repulsiveness towards him .

Qin Qing smiled as she stared at Qing Shui . She could feel that this man was in love with her . In actuality, this man was somewhat wanton, even shameless . But at least, he was honest . Also, when he was acting shamelessly, he didn’t give her a feeling of disgust .

She didn’t know that this was actually a misconception born of her own love for him .

“Why do you want to hold me?” Qin Qing took out a clean robe and helped Qing Shui put it on . The robes he had on earlier were all torn and tattered .

“Sister Qing, I realize that I’ve fallen in love with you . ” Qing Shui spoke in a bitter tone .

“Your love overflows the banks . Just wiping your back for you made you fall in love with me?” Qin Qing stated in a relaxed manner .

“Sister Qing, do I have any hope with you?” Qing Shui gutsily held onto one of her jade-like hands and looked at her seriously . Qing Shui was so daring because he felt that Qin Qing might also be a little fond of him .

Qin Qing struggled a little but didn’t retract her hand . She was afraid Qing Shui’s wounds would reopen if he moved too vigorously . Maybe she knew that Qing Shui was injured and wouldn’t do anything hence she allowed him to hold her hand .

“I don’t understand what you are saying . ” Qin Qing lowered her head as she spoke .

Qing Shui couldn’t believe what she just said . He felt Qin Qing was doing so because of shyness . He pulled her hand along and led her outside, sitting side by side with her on a sofa .

“I’m a little tired . You are injured, you should go back to your room for a rest . ” Qin Qing sat down and spoke .

“It’s only the afternoon, why are you so tired? These light injuries are nothing to me . It’s rare that the atmosphere is so peaceful and anyways, don’t you have something to say to me? You haven’t given me a reply yet . Give me some hope and allow my blood to be heated up!” Qing Shui held her hand tightly as he spoke .



Her hands were cool like jade and smooth as silk . When he held onto her hand, Qing Shui felt his heartbeat quickening, and he wasn’t able to control it .

“Do you want to hear the truth or lies?” Qin Qing smiled at Qing Shui .

“Are there still truth and lies in such a matter?” Qing Shui bewilderedly askew .

“Naturally there are!” Qin Qing spoke in a somewhat adorable manner . Qing Shui replied, “Then, tell me the truth . ”

“The truth is that now, I have no intentions of marrying anyone . I still don’t have the feeling of wholly giving myself to one man . ” Qin Qing’s tone was very calm, casting no doubts on the truth of her words .

When he heard the words, Qing Shui felt a little dejected . But he still smiled and replied, “How about the lie?”

“The lie is very interesting . If I had to lie, I would say that I would definitely be your woman . ” Qin Qing smiled .

Although she stated that this was a lie, Qing Shui felt a current of warmth in his heart . Squeezing her hand tightly, “In my heart, you will always be the woman I love most . ”

“You are so shameless…” Qin Qing helplessly replied, she retracted her hand and walked away .

“Go and rest, I will call you to come for dinner later . ” Qin Qing walked to the stairways and turned her head, smiling at Qing Shui .

“En!” Qing Shui nodded with a smile .

Qin Qing walked two steps before pausing and turning around, “Sometimes, what is a lie can become the truth as well . ”

After speaking, she turned and left . Qing Shui felt as though he was struck by a lightning bolt . It was only after quite some time that he recovered from his daze . A happy smile could be seen on his face; could this be considered as her dropping him a hint? Telling him that she would surely become his woman .

Qin Qing allowed Qing Shui to hold her hands . When she wiped his body for him, many things were already clear . Even if she didn’t marry Qing Shui, she could still be considered a bosom friend of his . If she was to marry, she would definitely marry him .

    ……



The battles had broadened Qing Shui’s horizons by a lot, allowing him to have a brand-new perspective of his strength . He still needed to grow stronger, and as he grew stronger, his combat prowess would naturally rise as well .

However, there were not many who could take him down . If he wanted to flee, no one in the Great Qin Dynasty would be able to stop him .

Meanwhile, the important people of the Qin King Manor were gathered to discuss certain matters .

Old man Qin was the oldest person of the Qin King Manor . The people of Qin King Manor all had a unique trait . They didn’t have long lives but they all had supreme talent . Maybe, this balanced things out in a way .

The old man Qin and his two brothers were the eldest generation present . One of the two brothers had no descendants while the other had two daughters that were married and lived faraway, only returning once every ten years .  

“What does everyone think about this incident today?” The old man asked in a relaxed manner .


“The Gu Clan must have their reasons for doing this . Maybe there’s someone behind them making them do this . ” Qin Tianqiong who stood at the left, replied .

“If the Gu Clan wasn’t being agitated by someone, there’s a possibility that their backer might be the royal clan . ” Another old man directly spoke . He was the third brother of this old man, Qin Tianlu .

“Baifo, what do you think?” The old man slowly asked .

“I feel that both uncles have a point . No matter what, Our Qin King Manor also represents the royal clan and have always had a good relationship with them . Seeing how audacious the Gu Clan is, that’s the only possibility . ” Qin Baifo replied .

“Maybe the Gu Clan wanted to use this incident to probe the response of the royal clan and see if their Gu Clan could take our place . ” The old man stated unhurriedly . His archaic voice had an indescribable calmness and foresight to it .

The others were all silent . Qin Baifo paused for a moment before speaking, “Father, what attitude do you think the royal clan would have after this incident?”

“The royal clan only fears two things . The first is powerful external enemies, the second would be powerful enemies from within . We are not their enemies and have no designs on them but the royal clan might not think like this . Hence, what we can do is think of methods to make the royal clan believe in us . On the other hand, we must increase our strength as well to prepare for any unexpected circumstances . ” The old man spoke to everyone .

“This matter is very tough to handle . Let’s watch for now and see what movements the royal clan makes . ” Qin Tianqiong spoke after thinking about it .

“There’s no hurry . Our Qin King Manor’s actions are in full view of the public . This time, the royal clan didn’t act to help us, so maybe their intentions are to for both us and the Gu Clan to suffer grievous losses . In any case, let’s change the topic and talk about that little lass Qin Qing’s matters instead . ”

The moment Qin Qing was brought up, the eyes of many present suddenly brightened .

“I’m sure everyone can already tell that that little lass obtained the inheritance of the Phoenix Battle God . This is something bestowed by Qing Shui, who is also a Battle God Successor . Regarding the both of them, as the father of Qin Qing, do you have anything you want to say, Baifo?” The old man laughed .

“The little girl has already become an adult . Her matters should be decided by herself . ” Qin Baifo spoke after contemplation .

Actually even if Qin Baifo didn’t say anything, the others wouldn’t interfere either . Who could afford to do so? Qin Qing was a unique existence within the Qin King Manor . After so many years, she was finally fond of a man . Who dared to object to this? In any case, the two of them still might not end up together .

“No one will interfere in the matters of Qin Qing . But I want to hear what all of you think of Qing Shui . ” The old man smiled, staring at Qin Baifo .

“Qing Shui is an extremely rare heaven-defying genius . There are many secrets on his body and he is one of the most talented people I have ever met . I don’t have any opinions on him but if I have to express a concern, it’s that I don’t know if Qin Qing would be able to accept being together with a man who has other wives . Qing Shui would surely never be tied down by one woman . In fact, there should be many other women around him . ”

A father knows his daughter best . Qin Baifo was extremely worried about this matter .

“Your point is exactly what I’m worried about . I understand that lass Qin Qing the most . If not, she wouldn’t be single all these years . However, that lass really treats Qing Shui differently compared to other men . She should be in love with him, but the deeper her love is, the more hurt she would be . I’m afraid that our Qin Qing might reach a point in the future where she can extricate herself no longer . ” That old man sighed .

The others had nothing to add . After all, it wasn’t their place to say anything at this moment .

“Forget it, since we don’t intend to meddle, we will just let nature takes its course . ” The old man contemplated for a while before he smiled .

    ……

When Qing Shui woke up, it was already late in the afternoon . However, Qing Shui still spent some time in the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal . It basically meant that his injuries were fully healed and when he came out, he saw Qin Qing in the kitchen waiting for him .

“Why didn’t you wake me?” Qing Shui smiled and sat down . Maybe it was because of the words Qin Qing said earlier, Qing Shui was feeling more gutsy today .

“I wanted you to sleep more so your injuries would heal faster . ”

“Wow, you are so concerned about me . ” Qing Shui smiled at the beautiful lady .

“Will you die if you stop being such a narcissist?” Qin Qing replied impolitely .

“Hehehe . ” Qing Shui chortled .

“Let me make some warm dishes for you . Go and wash up first!” Qin Qing stated .

Qing Shui smiled as he saw the flawlessly beautiful figure disappear into the kitchen . This elder sister also has a gentle side to her . He felt a great rush during this exchange .

The dishes prepared couldn’t be considered exquisite but were still decent . Qing Shui didn’t know if they were cooked by Qin Qing . When she served the plates, Qing Shui took out a vat of plum wine and poured a cup for her .

“Little Qing Qing, let’s eat together!” Qing Shui smiled .

“You are not allowed to call me by that name . ” Qin Qing helplessly objected .

“Call you what?” Qing Shui laughed .

“Regardless, you are not allowed to!”

“Okay I will call you elder sister then . ”

“Can you not be so disgusting?” Qin Qing breathily replied .

“Sister Qing, come and have a drink . ” Qing Shui teased her .

Qin Qing raised her wine cup, “This wine is one of the best wines I’ve ever seen, in terms of appearance . ”

“It tastes even better than it looks . ”
