Chapter 0283 – The Wind Rises – Absolute Returns

"When you encounter danger, your eyes will become sparkling." Qin Xia Ling explained.

Qin Xiajun couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he sniffed, the glittering light should be his sister’s eyes. He didn’t need to look in the mirror to know that his own eyes, right now, must be filled with anxiety and uneasiness.

"Don’t always carry everything on your shoulders, a person playing the hero is just a bluff." Qin Xia Ling said.

The sister who used to cry all day for her brother to carry her is now a grown up and has started to comfort him in turn.

"If you feel confused, perhaps it’s because your trust in Jian Wuji isn’t strong enough." Qin Xiaoling said.

"What do you mean by that?" Qin Xiajun asked.

"Since you chose to believe in Jian Wuji, you should trust him unreservedly, not half-heartedly." Qin Xia Ling said, "Since you turned to him for help, it means that deep down, you have already chosen to believe in him, doesn’t it?"

"What if …… he is utilized by him?" Qin Xiajun said worriedly.

"If you will be taken advantage of, even if you don’t trust him, you will still be taken advantage of all the same." Qin Xia Ling said, "This person, Jian Wuji, gives me the feeling that he is like an open door that one would not dare to step into easily, perhaps, you should let go of the guards in your heart and face him honestly."

"I ……" Qin Xiajun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Qin Xia Ling.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this, you get some rest." Qin Xia Ling said, turning around to leave.

"Thank you, Xia Ling." Qin Xiajun suddenly said.

Qin Xia Ling smiled, her heart warmed, she felt that her brother was slowly growing up, no longer as impulsive and irritable as before, and no longer cared so much about his face.

She followed Qin Xiajun’s former example and gestured a big circle with her hand, saying, "In my heart, brother, you are just so great!"

The next day, Jian Wuji once again came to Bo Qianjing’s residence.

Bo Qianjing seemed to have expected him to come and did not show the slightest surprise.

"The Young Sect Master is really leisurely." Bo Qianjing said indifferently.

After learning that Bo Qianjing was a descendant of the Wood Heavenly Clan, Jian Wuji’s feelings towards him had also undergone a subtle change.

Bak Chun-gyeong, what exactly are you scheming?

The same question had a different meaning at the moment. Moreover, Jian Wuji did not intend to get an answer from him. After leaving the Blood Heavenly Blade Demon’s residence last night, he had sent an urgent secret letter to Gao Yue, asking her to unite with the Tongtian Pavilion and investigate all information related to the Wood Heavenly Clan. He would get the answer from Gao Yue.

"When I was at war with your righteous path, I would naturally be very busy, but nowadays, well, I’m naturally very free." Jian Wuji laughed.

"You still have time to see me? Not to see that girl Xia Ling?" Bo Qianjing asked.

"Brother Qin is on strict defense and won’t let me get close to Miss Qin, saying that without Master’s permission, I’ll never see Miss Qin, or else I’ll have to go to war with the Demon Sect." Jian Wuji said helplessly.

"As the Demon Sect’s Young Sect Master, you would still be afraid of going to war with the righteous?" Bo Qianjing mocked.

"It’s not that I’m afraid of going to war, I just understand Brother Qin’s feelings of wanting to protect his sister." Jian Wuji said.

Without speaking, Bo Qianjing turned around and walked into the room, the door of the room was hidden, obviously signaling Jian Wuji to follow him in.

Jian Wuji followed him into the room and said as he walked, "Brother Qin is also too much, it was clearly Miss Qin who invited me here, but he ……"

Ignoring his complaints, Bo Qianjing walked straight to the table and sat down, picking up the carving knife and began to carve the wood carving. Ever since Jian Wuji came here, he had been carving wood carvings as if there was nothing else to do.

However, Jian Wuji now understood what kind of killing opportunity was hidden behind this seemingly calm move. With every wood carving he carved, he was creating a powerful puppet.

"If I don’t let you see Xia Ling, will you keep pestering me?" Bo Qianjing asked while carving.

"That’s natural." Jian Wuji said, "I’m a person who has always practiced what I preach."

As he spoke, he walked over to the table with the wooden carvings and reached down to lift the black cloth covering it.

The location of those wood carvings has changed again from yesterday.

All the wooden sculptures, all surrounded into a circle, leaving the center empty, as if waiting for someone to enter it. The weapons in the hands of those wooden sculptures were all pointing to the center of the circle, obviously wanting to attack the people who entered it.

"In the middle of this, who is it reserved for?" Jian Wuji asked.

"Then it depends on how you choose." Burqian Mirror said, "Maybe you, maybe Xiajun."

"Why aren’t you there?" Jian Wuji asked.

Bo Qianjing raised his head, stared sharply at him, and said, "Didn’t you say that you’re not here to kill me?"

"I did say that." Jian Wuji said.

"That means there’s a good chance you’ll be standing there." Birchglass said.

Jian Wuji took out the faceless wooden sculpture from his arms and said, "Perhaps the one standing there will be this person."

Bo Qianjing seemed to have known that he had taken this wooden sculpture and did not show the slightest surprise.

"I want to personally carve the five senses for this wood carving." Jian Wuji said.

When Bo Qianjing heard this, he finally stopped his hand movements, raised his head, and asked, "Whose five senses do you want to carve on?"

"Since you carved it with your own hands, then you should know who he is." Jian Wuji said.

The gazes of the two men met in mid-air, as if they were two sharp swords, colliding with fierce sparks.

"He could be anyone." Burqian Mirror said faintly.

"Why don’t senior teach me the art of carving, so that I can complete this wood carving with my own hands." Jian Wuji said.

Ignoring his pleas, Burqian Mirror picked up the carving knife again and continued to carve the wood carving.

"Rustle ……" Wood shavings were flying, falling like snowflakes.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji no longer forced himself to do so, as he picked up a carving knife and a piece of wood from the table, and following Bo Qianjing’s example, he began to carve.

"This carving knife, in the end, is also a knife, and I, for one, am very good with knives." Jian Wuji laughed.

He carved casually, not deliberately trying to imitate Bo Qianjing’s technique.

Can the wood carvings he carves have as much power as Burqian Mirror’s wood carvings? It should be possible, right? After all, they were all made of wood. Perhaps, because it wasn’t carved by Burqian Mirror himself, it couldn’t follow his orders?

"This art of carving is really not easy." Jian Wuji sighed.

He carved for a long time and finally managed to carve out a human figure, he handed the wooden carving to Bo Qianjing and asked, "Senior, how do you think it looks? It’s still decent, right?"

Bo Qianjing looked at the wooden sculpture in Jian Wuji’s hands, his eyes were filled with doubt, he really didn’t understand what exactly Jian Wuji wanted to do.

"What exactly is your purpose?" Burqian Mirror asked.

"My purpose is to obtain Miss Qin’s heart." Jian Wuji said.

Bo Qianjing was half-convinced, he neither believed that Jian Wuji would be so infatuated, nor could he figure out why he would go to such great lengths.

"If you promise to let me see Miss Qin, I will give you a generous gift." Jian Wuji said.

"A generous gift?" Burqian Mirror asked.

"Everything in this world comes and goes, doesn’t it?" Jian Wuji said.

"I wouldn’t dare to accept anything from the Devil Cult." Bo Qianjing said.

"What if it’s something more precious than a thousand pieces of gold?" Jian Wuji asked.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Bo Qianjing’s eyes.

"Like …… Tianhua Sect?" Jian Wuji said.

When Bo Qianjing heard this, he froze, he didn’t expect Jian Wuji to bring up the Tianhua Sect.

"I know that you were the one who pulled the strings from this and made Sect Master Tian Hua join forces with Brother Qin." Jian Wuji said, "Why did you help Sect Master Tianhua?"

Jian Wuji’s sudden mention of the Tianhua Sect was clearly testing his reaction.

"I just want to save the son of the Tianhua Sect Master." Bo Qianjing said.

"Why did you save his son when you knew he was an evil man? You are a member of the righteous path." Jian Wuji asked.

"Good and evil are but relative terms." Bo Qianjing said, "Speaking of which, you’re the real evil, aren’t you?"

"That’s right, good and evil are indeed relative." Jian Wuji said, "I always feel that you are more like evil than me."

When Bo Qianjing heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but spread a hint of a smile, a smile that seemed to be both mocking Jian Wuji’s ignorance and acquiescing to his statement.

Having said that, Bo Qianjing stopped speaking and lowered his head to continue carving the wood carving.

"Rustle ……" Wood shavings were flying, falling like snowflakes.

As if he was tireless, he kept on carving wood carvings, those wood carvings, what were they going to be used for? What was he plotting?

"Tomorrow, I will come back to ask senior for advice." Jian Wuji said, turning around and leaving the room.

After Jian Wuji left, Bo Qianjing finally finished the wood carving in his hands.

He placed the wooden carving in his hands and scrutinized it, then got up and walked over to the table that held it.

"He could be anyone ……" Birchglass muttered, placing the wooden sculpture in his hand in the center of the circle.

"This, too, can be anyone’s place."

It was a wood carving of a young woman.
