My Wife Might Be a Saintess

Chapter 370: Chapter 369: Childish, Watch Me Go Find You with Sword Flight

Only after Jiang Zuo finished his inspection did Su Qi speak. "The Tomb of Qin Tian?"

Jiang Zuo sighed, exasperated. "You made out ’Tomb of Qin Qianning.’ Was it really that hard to recognize the single character ’Tian’?"

"Easy for you to say," Su Qi grumbled. "If you didn’t know the characters, you wouldn’t be able to read them either, even if they were right in front of you."

She felt she was already doing great. After all, she could still recognize them. She had only studied ancient characters as a child, before she’d even started school.

It wasn’t easy to happen to know just the right ones.

Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. "So now that you’ve figured it out, what do you want to do?"

Su Qi said, "Pay our respects, of course. They’re our predecessors, after all."

Jiang Zuo was speechless. "...How about we just don’t? Didn’t you say Qin Qianning isn’t dead yet? How would it look if we did that?"

"Er," Su Qi considered it and realized he had a point.

In the end, Su Qi could only press her palms together and say respectfully, "To the two predecessors, we don’t know if you’re still with us, so it would be inappropriate to offer formal respects. Please don’t take offense."

Jiang Zuo didn’t say anything. The thought of him paying respects just felt odd.

After all, he’d just spied on their corpses. If he were going to pay respects, he should have done it earlier.

Besides, looking at the blood-drenched tombstone... if he were still an ordinary person, he would’ve been utterly terrified.

It was like something out of a horror movie.

Just then, Jiang Zuo looked up, perhaps trying to figure out how to get to the deck above.

But as he did, he froze. He’d spotted bloodstains on the underside of the deck.

"Do you believe in reincarnation? I don’t," Jiang Zuo said suddenly.

Su Qi was baffled. "What are you talking about? What about reincarnation?"

Su Qi looked at Jiang Zuo, who was now staring up at the deck.

Curious, Su Qi followed his gaze and looked up.

Then, she froze. There, on the underside of the deck, she saw a line of writing: "Do you believe in reincarnation? I don’t."

The words were written in blood.

’Reincarnation?’ Jiang Zuo sighed inwardly. He had pondered this very question back when he was at his peak.

He’d even tried to test it.

His conclusion was that in the endless river of time, no two identical people—or identical souls—had ever appeared.

To him, reincarnation truly didn’t exist.

So, he didn’t believe in it either.

But in the words left behind by the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion, Jiang Zuo sensed something more.

Perhaps the Lord of the Immortal Spirit Mansion had a different take on it.

He had a feeling there was a second half to that sentence.

But as for what it might be, Jiang Zuo had no way of knowing.

Finally, Jiang Zuo looked at Su Qi. "Let’s go."

Su Qi said sadly, "If there’s no reincarnation, does that mean there’s no next life? If there’s no next life, how can we be together in the next one?"

Jiang Zuo rolled his eyes. "Then let’s talk about our past lives. Who’s to say we weren’t always together in our past lives, too?"

’Even getting killed and being repulsed counts as ’being together.’’

Su Qi said, "You’re just humoring me."

’You wouldn’t believe me if I told you the truth anyway,’ Jiang Zuo thought.

After that, Jiang Zuo and Su Qi left Dead Water Island.

Su Qi, however, didn’t stop, intending to fly directly out of the ship’s interior.

It didn’t seem like there was anything else left here.

Good thing the space was large enough; otherwise, it wouldn’t be suitable for Sword Flight.

Soon, Su Qi flew out of the ship’s cabin. By now, the sky had already brightened.

To their surprise, however, they had already reached the shore.

Jiang Zuo immediately pulled out his phone and was stunned to find they might be in the Holy Land—he had a signal and his GPS was working.

"I think we’ve arrived at your home."

Su Qi retorted unhappily, "Isn’t my home your home?"

Jiang Zuo’s face darkened. He summoned a Fire Element to his side and clarified, "What I mean is, we’ve probably reached the Holy Land."

The Fire Element was thrilled to be helping its big boss again.

Snow was everywhere, and Jiang Zuo would have been cold if he hadn’t summoned it.

Su Qi huffed, then flew up into the sky, leaving the ancient ship far behind.

After they left, fog began to rise all around once more.

But this time, the fog was light and thin.

Then the great ship began to move, plunging into the fog.

The great ship vanished into the fog, and then the fog disappeared, taking the ship with it.

A very mysterious departure.

But neither Jiang Zuo nor Su Qi paid it much mind. All that mattered was that they were ashore.

Su Qi immediately took out her phone and called Jingyue.

The moment the call connected, Jingyue exclaimed, "Little Complainer, where are you guys? We contacted East Water Island. They said you’d left and were nowhere to be found."

Su Qi laughed. "Senior Sister, I’m at the foot of the mountain. I’m coming to find you now, I’ll be there really fast, you’ll see!"

Hearing this, Jingyue couldn’t help but admire her own foresight.

She already knew Su Qi had succeeded in Crossing the Tribulation. And now, Su Qi was saying she would get to her ’really fast.’

’No doubt about it. Su Qi plans to use Sword Flight to come find me.’

’How childish. Watch me use Sword Flight to find *you*.’

Not long after, Jingyue and Su Qi met in the skies above the Holy Land.

Su Qi looked at Jingyue, her expression utterly defeated. "Senior Sister, how come you can fly too?"

Jingyue replied very calmly, "Because your big sister is stronger than you."

Even as she said it, Jingyue’s heart ached with frustration.

Su Qi never seemed to put in any effort, yet her Cultivation never fell more than two minor Realms behind Jingyue’s.

She honestly didn’t know if she was pulling Su Qi forward, or if Su Qi was pushing her from behind.

’It was so unfair.’

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to see Master," Jingyue said, leading the way.

Soon, Jingyue had led Jiang Zuo and Su Qi to Yue Xi’s residence.

The moment she saw Jiang Zuo and Su Qi, Yue Xi asked, "You used the Shaping Pill?"

Su Qi lowered her head. She knew how incredibly precious that Elixir Pill was, but at the time, she’d had no other choice.

She didn’t regret it.

In the end, Yue Xi didn’t press the issue. She understood her disciple.

Yue Xi then looked at Jiang Zuo. "Did you fight with the Elements back there?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "I didn’t do anything. My Elemental Minions did."

Yue Xi: "...So you went in to break up the fight?"

Jiang Zuo shook his head. "I went in to order them to fight."

Yue Xi: "..."

Su Qi: "..."

Jingyue: "..."

’How can he say that with such a straight face? Isn’t that the same as you doing it yourself?’

Yue Xi decided not to pursue the matter. (If anyone was going to hold him accountable, it should be her disciple.) In any case, the incident was over, and everyone was safe, which was all that mattered.

Then she asked, "I am curious, though. What happened in there? I heard there were three different factions vying for control."

Jiang Zuo nodded. "Yes. I’m just not sure what they were after. I don’t know who they were, either."

Jiang Zuo truly didn’t know what they were thinking. That young man and the Fire Elemental Leader... who could possibly know what was on their minds?

All he knew was that one was a danger to Su Qi, and the other was annoying as hell.

In the end, Yue Xi sighed. It seemed she wouldn’t be getting any more details.

She said to Jiang Zuo, "There’s been a development with the Saintess Mark. Su Qi will need to remain in the Holy Land for a while. We don’t know for how long yet.

"Will you stay here in the Holy Land to wait for Su Qi, or will you be returning?"

Yue Xi hadn’t discussed this with Su Qi, which meant it wasn’t up for negotiation.

The mark had indeed undergone some unknown changes, and it was necessary to study it.

Su Qi didn’t protest, merely asking, "It won’t be for too long, right?"

Jingyue said, "Don’t worry, it won’t be too long. I, your big sister, promise I’ll get you out within a month."

Su Qi exclaimed, "A month isn’t long?!"

Jingyue: "..."

Yue Xi: "..."

Jiang Zuo: "..."
