My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 369: Chapter 368: The Death of the Qin Family Siblings

Su Qi and Jiang Zuo then landed safely on the small island.

Su Qi kept her hand linked with Jiang Zuo’s, just in case of any surprises.

That way, she could pull Jiang Zuo away at a moment’s notice.

Jiang Zuo, on the other hand, wasn’t concerned. ’I’d know in advance if there was any danger, so there’s no rush.’

The area around them was soon filled with Fire Elemental Minions.

The Fire Elemental Minions were especially happy today. It was an unprecedented honor to be working so closely for their big bro.

They were thrilled.

And when fire elementals get excited, their flames naturally burn brighter.

This allowed Jiang Zuo to see his surroundings even more clearly.

It was only then that Jiang Zuo noticed two stone tablets.

Jiang Zuo and Su Qi exchanged a look before walking toward the stone tablets.

The stone tablets were pitch-black, which was why they hadn’t noticed them at first.

As Jiang Zuo approached the tablets, his brow furrowed deeply.

Su Qi frowned as well, having noticed some writing on them.

The characters were all written in fresh blood, and the stains hadn’t dried even now, creating a gruesome, gory sight.

However, it was an ancient script that Su Qi didn’t fully understand; she would need a moment to decipher it.

Jiang Zuo, however, recognized it at a glance.

The two tablets were none other than tombstones.

On the left: Tomb of Qin Tian. On the right: Tomb of Qin Qianning.

’So Qin Tian and Qin Qianning are both buried here?’

Seeing the tombstones, a flood of thoughts ran through Jiang Zuo’s mind.

’Is Qin Tian King Qin Wu?’

He had always assumed that Qin Tian was King Qin Wu.

’And the man named Qin whom the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion knew was most likely Qin Tian.’

After all, from what the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had said, Jiang Zuo could deduce that Young Master Qin was the strongest of his era.

’Now I can be certain that Qin Tian was indeed Young Master Qin.’

’Then is he King Qin Wu?’

’If Qin Tian is King Qin Wu, then why is there a tomb for Qin Tian?’

After all, he had previously obtained King Qin Wu’s Spiritual Talisman.

’That Spiritual Talisman had to be real. For a powerhouse of that caliber, a fake talisman couldn’t possibly have stored that kind of information.’

’A Spiritual Talisman isn’t something that becomes real just by carving one—there can only be one genuine article.’

’Since it was real, that meant King Qin Wu was buried in the Ancient Battlefield.’

’This was an established fact of the Ancient Battlefield; otherwise, King Qin Wu’s Spiritual Talisman wouldn’t have been able to lead people there.’

’Then there was Qin Qianning. He had always believed she was the will within the Holy Land Array.’

’But now that her tomb has shown up, that possibility seemed much less likely.’

Just then, Su Qi finally spoke. "Tomb of Qin Qianning?"

Su Qi was stunned for a second, then exclaimed, "Impossible."

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. "Why is it impossible?"

Su Qi blurted out, "There’s an existence in the Holy Land Forbidden Area, and she’s supposed to be Qin Qianning."

The moment the words left her mouth, Su Qi regretted them. She had forgotten to be on her guard because she was with Jiang Zuo.

Then Su Qi said seriously, "This is a secret of the Saintesses. You can’t tell anyone, and don’t let my senior sister find out.

Or I’ll get chewed out again."

Jiang Zuo nodded.

’I’m also a Candidacy Saintess, so we’re all on the same team,’ he thought. ’No big deal.’

’Still,’ Jiang Zuo thought, ’from what Su Qi said, the will in the Holy Land is likely Qin Qianning. So, is this tomb a fake?’

"Should we see if this tomb is real?" Jiang Zuo asked.

Su Qi nodded. She walked over to Qin Qianning’s tomb and said, "I’ll see what I can sense."

"I’ll give it a try, too," Jiang Zuo added.

Su Qi didn’t object. ’Jiang Zuo is a prodigy when it comes to Magic; who knows what he might find.’

Jiang Zuo then reached out, placed his hand on the tomb, and began to perceive it.

He could tell it was just an ordinary tomb, so he tried to extend his perception further, to what lay inside.

But in the next instant, he immediately pulled back.

He hadn’t gotten a clear sense of it, but one thing was certain: there was a female corpse inside, and it was incredibly powerful.

The instant he pulled back, Jiang Zuo shouted, "Get back! It’s dangerous!"

But Su Qi immediately shook her head. "It’s fine. The mark is resonating with her. I won’t be harmed."

Jiang Zuo frowned. ’Resonating?’

’Does that mean the person lying here really is Qin Qianning?’

’But if her will still exists, why would there be a tomb? And from the looks of it, it was set up by the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion himself.’

Seeing that Su Qi was fine, Jiang Zuo walked over to Qin Qianning’s tombstone. He stared at the characters written on it. They were gory, written in the blood of a Supreme, which could never dry.

In them, Jiang Zuo could see indignation and regret.

’So what exactly was the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion thinking?’

Jiang Zuo couldn’t understand.

Jiang Zuo held the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion in absolute esteem and even admired him. The man was definitely a great talent.

He might not have been the strongest, but he was definitely the most forward-thinking—truly ahead of his time.

His mindset and his abilities absolutely surpassed everyone else’s.

’So, was he mad to have erected a tombstone for Qin Qianning?’

A tombstone established with the blood of a Supreme Powerhouse was practically a curse.

’Was he practically wishing for her death?’

Jiang Zuo couldn’t make sense of it and decided not to dwell on it.

He was, however, interested in Qin Tian’s tomb. But just as he was about to inspect it...

Jiang Zuo saw Su Qi staring blankly.

Jiang Zuo couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

"I learned from my senior sister that the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion loved the woman in the Forbidden Land, and that he went to great lengths to try and resurrect her.

But would a person intent on resurrecting his beloved erect a tombstone for her?" Su Qi asked Jiang Zuo.

She also knew it was highly likely that the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had been the one to erect this tomb.

In response to Su Qi’s question, Jiang Zuo shook his head. "You’re too weak."

Su Qi: "???"

’What does that have to do with anything?’

Jiang Zuo said, "You don’t understand the perspective of the truly powerful. In your eyes, some people are strong, and some are weak.

But in the eyes of an absolute powerhouse, your strengths and weaknesses are all the same. There is no difference.

So, don’t use your perspective and your thoughts to try and fathom the perspective and thoughts of someone truly powerful.

You can make guesses, but they need to be verified. The most basic rule is: don’t jump to conclusions."

Su Qi pouted. "Listen to you, talking as if you’re one of the Strongest. You’re even weaker than I am."

Jiang Zuo just smiled without a word. ’Su Qi is right. He could never beat her. Not in a million years.’

After that, Su Qi didn’t dwell on it. She had just felt indignant on Qin Qianning’s behalf. From the information they had, it seemed Qin Qianning was just like her, someone who deeply loved her partner.

A love that time itself could not wear away.

Jiang Zuo then walked over to Qin Tian’s tomb and, while Su Qi was still busy deciphering the characters, began to inspect it.

This time, the reaction was even more intense than before. He was forced back before he could even begin to probe.

’The one inside is in a completely different league from Qin Qianning.’

’So strong... truly powerful,’ Jiang Zuo confirmed internally. ’Based on that brief sense of his aura, this person in his prime surpassed Jian Shisan before his death in my past life. A powerhouse of this level... has to be Qin Tian.’

’Unless the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion decided to bury himself here.’

’So, this is the tomb of the Qin Family Siblings?’

For such powerhouses to end up buried in a place like this...

An ordinary grave, an ordinary stele... only the words inscribed upon them were perhaps somewhat special.

All in all, the final resting place of the Qin Family Siblings was rather bleak.

Who could have ever imagined such a thing?
