Chapter 0285 – Trust and Resolutions – Absolute Returns

The room was built out of logs, everything in the room, was wooden, even the bed she was lying on, was made out of a single piece of log pieced together, all the furniture and furnishings, were also made out of wood.</p>

"Why am I here?" Qin Xia Ling was puzzled in her mind.</p>

She tried to remember what had happened before she passed out.</p>

After she parted with Li An, she was walking alone on the forest path when suddenly, a gust of wind blew by and countless leaves fell from the sky and landed on her body.</p>

The moment those leaves touched her body, she suddenly felt a blackness in front of her eyes, and she lost consciousness.</p>

Those leaves should have been coated with ecstasy or, perhaps, with some kind of sorcery.</p>

She checked her body and found that there were no other injuries other than her internal energy being blocked.</p>

She immediately got up and went to the door, trying to open the room.</p>

Although her internal power was sealed, she had practiced martial arts since she was a child and her strength far exceeded that of normal people, she believed that she could easily open this wooden door.</p>

But the door to the room didn’t budge when she pushed it a few times.</p>

"This door, there’s something odd about it." Qin Xia Ling said in her heart.</p>

This door, not an ordinary wooden door, but one that had been reinforced with a special method, could not be opened with her strength.</p>

She scrutinized the walls, floor and ceiling of the room, but could not find any exit.</p>

"Could it be that Bo Qianjing did this?" Qin Xia Ling said in her heart.</p>

Nowadays, other than Bo Qianjing, she couldn’t think of anyone else who would take her captive.</p>

"Even if he hates my brother, he wouldn’t go so far as to do it to me, right?" Qin Xia Ling’s heart was filled with doubts.</p>

Just then, she heard a footstep outside the door.</p>

She hurriedly lay back down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.</p>

She hoped that the person who came was not Bo Qianjing, because if it was Bo Qianjing himself, it would mean that he wanted to kill and kill.</p>

"It mustn’t be him ……" Qin Xia Ling prayed in her heart.</p>

The door to the room opened and a man walked in.</p>

"Get up when you’re awake." A man’s voice rang out.</p>

It seemed that the other party already knew she was awake.</p>

Qin Xia Ling opened her eyes and sat up, looking at the man in front of her.</p>

Luckily, it wasn’t Burqian Mirror, but a strange man.</p>

"Why don’t you say something?" The man asked.</p>

"If it was someone worthy of my opening, they wouldn’t treat me like this." Qin Xia Ling said coldly.</p>

Although her internal power was sealed, she remained unassuming because she knew that since the other party didn’t kill her, it meant that they still had value to use.</p>

"Don’t you want to know who I am?" The man asked.</p>

Qin Xia Ling had already guessed that the man in front of her was the one who had taken her.</p>

From those leaves, she smelled a special odor, and the man in front of her had the same odor.</p>

"I’m not interested in you, I just want to know what exactly you want to do." Qin Xia Ling said, "Aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble if you do this?"</p>

The man just smiled at her words and didn’t answer her question.</p>

"You must be thirsty. Have a cup of tea." The man said, picking up the teapot on the table and pouring a cup of tea for Qin Xia Ling.</p>

Although Qin Xia Ling was thirsty, she didn’t dare to drink the cup of tea.</p>

"Why did you take me captive?" Qin Xia Ling asked.</p>

The man didn’t answer her question, but instead picked up the teacup and took a sip, then poured another cup for Qin Xia Ling and said, "This tea is good for the body, you can feel free to drink it."</p>

He wanted to prove that there was no poison in the tea.</p>

However, Qin Xia Ling still did not take the teacup, but carefully observed his face, hands and clothes, trying to find some clues, or, perhaps, his weaknesses in order to escape.</p>

Seeing this, the man placed the teacup on the table, turned around and said, "I’ll go and prepare the evening meal for you."</p>

With that, he left the room.</p>

Qin Xia Ling waited until he left before picking up the teapot and opening the lid, realizing that it was not filled with clear water, but a medicinal tea.</p>

She wanted to drink it, but she didn’t dare because she didn’t know, what exactly was the ingredient of this medicinal tea.</p>

She could never have imagined that she would be taken away near the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance.</p>

When she was competing with Li An, in order not to disturb them, she had asked her guard, Autumn Lake, to wait at a distance, and now, Autumn Lake should have already found out that she had disappeared and was looking around for her.</p>

The first person she thought of in this critical situation was neither her grandfather nor her brother, but ……</p>

But she quickly dismissed the thought as she stood up and began to look around the room for something that could help her escape.</p>

The jungle is dangerous, the only way to survive is to save yourself.</p>

Jian Wuji arrived at Bo Qianjing’s residence, only to find the room empty.</p>

He went straight to the table with the wooden carvings and lifted the black cloth covering it.</p>

The wooden carvings on the table, only one remained, the others, all disappeared.</p>

The only remaining wooden sculpture was the "hero" wooden sculpture that Bo Qianjing had mentioned, which had been casually discarded on the ground as if it had been forgotten.</p>

Jian Wuji knew that Bo Qianjing had left this wooden sculpture behind on purpose, he was demonstrating to himself, he was mocking himself.</p>

He picked up the wooden carving and turned to leave the room.</p>

Where on earth did Bakchikage go?</p>

Although Jian Wuji was puzzled in his heart, he knew that Bo Qianjing must be nearby, and moreover, he would definitely be in the place that was most favorable for him to exert his strength.</p>

That’s the forest.</p>

"I will definitely find you!" Jian Wuji said in his heart.</p>

He exerted his light power and traveled through the nearby forest at a very fast speed.</p>

He wasn’t looking for Burqian Mirror, but rather the traces he had left behind.</p>

The first time he went to Bo Qianjing’s residence, he sensed a peculiar aura, an aura that could only be sensed by those who had practiced the "Nine Specters Devil Power".</p>

It was the aura that emanated from those wooden carvings.</p>

He’s going to find those wood carvings, and then he’ll find Burqian Mirror.</p>

He kept changing his position, releasing his aura and sensing the movements around him.</p>

His lightness had already reached the point of pure perfection, and he was able to cross dozens of miles in an instant.</p>

It was unknown how long it had been before he finally sensed a hint of familiarity.</p>

"Found it!" Jian Wuji’s heart was overjoyed.</p>

He followed the scent and made his way through the dense woods to an open clearing.</p>

The open space, which seemed like a huge martial arts arena, was surrounded by densely packed wooden statues, thousands of them.</p>

Those wood carvings were the same ones that Bo Qianjing had carved in his room over the years.</p>

They seem like a well-trained army, ready to attack the enemy.</p>

Jian Wuji placed the wooden sculpture of the "Hero" in his hand in the center of the open space.</p>

At once, all the wooden sculptures pointed their spearheads at the "hero" wooden sculpture, as if they wanted to tear it into pieces.</p>

"I told you, that’s where you are." A voice came from behind.</p>

Bo Qianjing walked slowly, a cold smile on his face.</p>

Jian Wuji didn’t turn around, just looked at the wooden sculpture of the "hero" standing alone in the center of the open space and said indifferently:</p>

“I had thought that I would stand there.”
