I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 437 Reunion: He's Now My Brother-in-Law

I originally thought that subduing the Fire Qilin would take a lot of effort.

Ying Xun even prepared for defeat.

I never imagined it would be so simple.

What he never expected was that one day he would actually ride the mythical beast Qilin.

So much so that he's a bit confused now.

Of course, this is normal, after all, the Qilin is a legendary mythical beast, and anyone would probably be confused by it.

When he came to his senses, the Qilin had already stopped inside a cave where a giant stone dragon was coiled.

This is the dragon vein layer, which is also the location of the Yellow Emperor's tomb.

Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor was the strongest warrior in the Central Plains. After defeating Chi You and unifying the Central Plains, he built his tomb in Lingyun Cave.

Over a long period of time, his spine accumulated the fortune of the Central Plains martial arts world and became a dragon vein.

Dragon veins can not only directly enhance a user's skill, but also suppress inner demons, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

As for other things... Normally, the tomb of the mighty Yellow Emperor should contain divine weapons, martial arts, rare and precious materials, but in fact there is only a decaying sword and a dragon vein.

So no matter what others think, Ying Xun doesn't believe in this so-called tomb of the Yellow Emperor.

Putting aside martial arts and rare treasures for now, let's just talk about that sword.

If the person in the tomb was indeed the Yellow Emperor, then this sword should be the Xuanyuan Sword.

You must know that the Xuanyuan Sword is a sacred sword, forged by the immortals from the copper of Shou Mountain for the Yellow Emperor. It contains boundless power and is a divine sword for slaying demons and monsters. How could it possibly decay?!
However, Ying Xun still bowed three times to the skeleton.

"Did you bring me here to collect the dragon vein?"

The fire qilin snorted and nodded.

"Let's go then."

As Ying Xun led the Fire Qilin away, he communicated with the system telepathically.

"System, can you help me settle the Fire Qilin?"

The Fire Qilin has a bad reputation in the world of Fengyun. If you take the Fire Qilin out, who knows how much panic it will cause.

More importantly, it will attract the covetous eyes of countless people in the martial arts world, and he won't be able to live a peaceful life from now on.

At the very least, before he has the strength to fight against experts like Emperor Shitian and the Immortal God, having the Fire Qilin by his side is more of a curse than a blessing.

The system did not refuse, but there were conditions to its help.

After some haggling, Ying Xun placed his hand on the fire qilin's head, and then suddenly, the fire qilin disappeared from sight.

"System, you'd better take good care of it."

[Host, don't worry, the environment this system has created for it is the most suitable place for the Fire Qilin to survive. If it weren't so young, this system could even send it a wife.]

"Too young?"

Ying Xun was taken aback: "That's not right. According to the timeline of the Fengyun world, hasn't the Fire Qilin already lived for thousands of years? How can it be called young?"

[It's too complicated to explain, but you can think of it as the depletion of spiritual energy, which caused it to stop developing a very long time ago. It's currently only in its juvenile stage. Not only the Fire Qilin, but also the dragons and phoenixes in the Fengyun world are actually in their juvenile stages. It's just that the Xuan Turtle is a little older. This is also why the Divine Dragon was slaughtered.]

Ying Xun suddenly realized, and while communicating with the system through his mind, he walked towards the mural in the martial arts area.

Afterwards, in addition to comprehending the Xuanwu True Skill and refining the Blood Bodhi to improve his power, he also conducted a thorough search of Lingyun Cave.

Believe it or not, he actually got quite a few good things.

In addition to some martial arts manuals, they also found a fire spirit mushroom.

Its efficacy is a bit weaker, only about half that of blood bodhi seeds.

Just as Ying Xun finished packing up and was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting.

When he arrived at the scene, he saw Bu Jingyun coldly snapping the neck of a man in black.

"Ying Xun?"

Upon seeing Ying Xun appear, Bu Jingyun was somewhat surprised: "What are you doing here?"

Now Bu Jingyun appears in Lingyun Cave, accompanied by Yu Yue, who has lost an arm. Xiong Ba does not listen to him, and the plot continues as originally planned.

Ying Xun didn't answer, but sighed: "It seems you've betrayed the World Society."

"Are you here to kill me too?"

"Whether you betray the World Society or not is none of my business." Ying Xun shook his head, ignoring him, and turned to Yu Yue: "Yu Yue, you are going to jail."

"Master, do you know me?"

Yu Yue was a little confused. He was quite sure that he didn't know Ying Xun. After all, a handsome man like Ying Xun would leave a deep impression even if you only met him once.

"Whether you know me or not is not important. What's important is that the God of Arrest is coming for you, and I can help you get out of prison," Ying Xun said with a shake of his head and a smile.

"Thank you, Daoist Master, but I deserve it all."

Yu Yue's story is actually not complicated. An official took a fancy to his sister and beat his parents to death. After his sister was arrested, she committed suicide because she could not bear the humiliation. In order to avenge her, he killed 103 government officials.

In Yu Yue's view, he had committed a heinous crime and that going to jail was a consequence he deserved.

However, in Ying Xun's view, Yu Yue had not done anything wrong.

If I had to point out a mistake, it would probably be that I didn't appeal or take legal action to resolve the issue.

"Suit yourself, but I still have to go to Yujia Village with you. I have something to discuss with the God of Arrest."

The plot has progressed to the point where Bu Jingyun obtains the Qilin Arm, and the next step is the battle between Bu Jingyun and the God of Catcher, who dies at Bu Jingyun's hands.

Given his relationship with You Ruo, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to the death of the God of Catcher, even knowing how the plot was unfolding.

Yu Yue nodded, turned slightly to the side, and gestured for him to proceed.

"Taoist Master, please."

Ying Xun bowed, but before he could even take a step, he heard Bu Jingyun scream in agony.

"very noisy!"

Ying Xun raised his hand and pointed, a burst of energy directly piercing into Bu Jingyun's newly reattached arm.

In the blink of an eye, the intense pain disappeared, leaving Bu Jingyun momentarily stunned.

"why?"

"Why what?" Ying Xun asked rhetorically.

"You are the son-in-law chosen by Xiong Ba, and I am a traitor to the World Society. Why are you helping me?"

“I’ve already said I’m not a member of the World Society. Whether you betray the World Society or not is none of my business. In fact, I can understand if you do betray the World Society. If it were me, I would also betray the World Society.”

Do you know why I betrayed the World Society?

As Ying Xun walked out, he slowly said, "I know a little bit. Firstly, it's because your stepfather, Huo Butian, died at the hands of the World Society. You joined the World Society to avenge your stepfather."

Bu Jingyun nodded without saying a word.

He was pondering how Ying Xun knew about this matter. Could it be that Xiong Ba told him?
Based on his understanding of Xiong Ba, he didn't believe that Xiong Ba would tell Ying Xun about this.

Yu Yue, however, after seeing Bu Jingyun nod, asked curiously, "If there's one, then there's a second. What's the reason for the second?"

"Secondly, because of a woman."

"woman?"

"That's right, because of a woman named Kong Ci, who was the woman Bu Jingyun liked. Because Xiong Ba was always wary of him, he used Kong Ci to sow discord between Bu Jingyun and his fellow disciples. As a result, Kong Ci died at Bu Jingyun's hands."

Speaking of which, the scene where Bu Jingyun, holding Kong Ci, roared at Nie Feng, "Don't come any closer!" is a famous scene from Feng Yun that Ying Xun still can't forget even now.

“Bu Jingyun, the Mud Bodhisattva’s prediction about you is correct. You think you have it, but you don’t. If you don’t make changes, similar tragedies will continue to happen.”

“Impossible. I will never fall in love with anyone again in this life,” Bu Jingyun said resolutely.

Ying Xun chuckled lightly: "Don't speak so absolutely."

"Don't try to scare me. Between Xiong Ba and me, only one of us will live. It's either him or me who dies!" Bu Jingyun said through gritted teeth.

"You think I'm trying to persuade you to give up your obsession with killing Xiong Ba?"

"Is not it?"

Ying Xun was speechless: "Although Xiong Ba is my future father-in-law, he has done a lot of evil deeds. I don't care whether he lives or dies. What I mean by change is your character. You are too bloodthirsty now. If you don't change, you will eventually harm yourself and others."

Bu Jingyun opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Ying Xun spoke first. "Don't tell me you're acting alone and won't involve others. Let's put aside future matters for now, just consider Nie Feng and Qin Shuang. Even if you can let go of your brotherhood with them, can they let go of you?"

Bu Jingyun remained silent.

“Bu Jingyun, you are actually no different from Xiong Ba now.”

Upon hearing this, Bu Jingyun instantly felt insulted.

"Ying Xun, don't think you're helping..."

Ying Xun interrupted, "Am I wrong? Back then, Xiong Ba killed your stepfather Huo Butian's family in order to expand the power of the World Society. And you stole the Ice Soul from the Xia Wang Mansion. When they refused to give it to you, you slaughtered the Xia Wang Mansion. Tell me, what's the difference between you and Xiong Ba? It's just that I'm not a government official, otherwise you would have been arrested by me long ago."

Despite being portrayed as a positive character in the novel, Bu Jingyun in his early days was far from a good person, much worse than Nie Feng and Qin Shuang.

After that, Ying Xun ignored Bu Jingyun and started chatting with Yu Yue.

We chatted along the way and before we knew it, we had arrived at Yujia Village.

Upon seeing a horse carrying a sword at the door, Yu Yue's expression changed slightly, but he said nothing and led Ying Xun into the house.

"father."

"neat."

Yu Yue responded and introduced, "Daoist Master, this is my daughter Chu Chu. Chu Chu, this is Daoist Master Ying."

"Greetings, Daoist Master."

Ying Xun bowed and said, "Miss Yu, this humble Taoist greets you."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Yu Yue then spoke.

"Chuchu, where is the person who is looking for me?"

Yu Chuchu paused for a moment before replying, "Dad, he's waiting for you behind our house."

Yu Yue nodded: "Brother Bu's injury flared up again just now. Take good care of him, I'll go check on him."

"Dad, don't..."

"Don't worry, it's okay."

"Father, father..."

Yu Chuchu called out twice, but Yu Yue didn't even turn his head.

Instead, Ying Xun turned around and glanced at her, then smiled and said, "Miss Yu, don't worry, your father is fine."

Behind the house.

Before the pond, the God of Catcher stood with his hands behind his back, gazing ahead, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

Hearing footsteps, he spoke calmly.

"you are back."

"God of Catchers, you're right on time."

"Life is too short, and I don't like to waste time unnecessarily."

"admire."

The constable turned around and was taken aback to find Ying Xun beside Yu Yue: "It's you!"

"It's me. I didn't expect you to still remember me."

When they first met, he didn't even greet the God of Arrest, but when they met again, the God of Arrest was already his brother-in-law.

The God of Catchers nodded: "A Taoist priest with such a handsome appearance as you, once seen, would probably not be easily forgotten."

"Putting everything else aside, my face is indeed good-looking, at least better-looking than yours."

The constable choked on his words, then ignored him and slowly walked towards Yu Yue, saying, "You are very trustworthy. There aren't many trustworthy people these days, and I admire you very much."

Looking at the approaching God of Arrest, Yu Yue could only sigh with a wry smile.

"Yu Yue, our three-year agreement expires today. Come with me to the government office to report for questioning. Let's go!"

As the God of Catchers spoke, he continued walking forward, but Yu Yue, who was behind him, did not move.

The God of Catchers paused, then suddenly turned around.

"Why, do you regret it?"

“I have no regrets. For many years, I, Yu Yue, have been waiting for this day to atone for all the sins I have committed. But there is still one thing I have not yet accomplished.”

"Hasn't your powerful arm already found a master?"

Yu Yue turned around and looked at the God of Catchers, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.

“Your daughter, Chuchu, has already told me everything.”

"But the 'unicorn arm' still needs treatment."

"Okay, how many more days do you need?"

Yu Yue thought for a moment and replied, "Three days."

"Alright, I'll come back at this time in three days."

"Thank you!"

"No need."

After saying this, the God of Catchers prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

The God of Catchers turned back again and looked at Ying Xun: "What do you want?"

"I'd like to ask, are you taking Brother Yu back to Gyeonggi Province, or to Jiaozhou City to turn yourself in?"

"What do you mean?"

Ying Xun smiled faintly: "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I remember that Brother Yu's case was committed within the jurisdiction of Jiaozhou, so if he is to turn himself in, he should go to Jiaozhou. If you are taking him to Jiaozhou, let's go together."

"Master Ying, what's going on?" Yu Yue asked, puzzled.

“We’ve known each other for a while now, which is quite a coincidence. Since you’re determined to turn yourself in, then come with me to turn yourself in. Let’s bring Miss Yu and Bu Jingyun along, so you can put your mind at ease,” Ying Xun said with a smile.

Yu Yue was taken aback: "Daoist Master, didn't you say you weren't a government official?"

“That’s right. I’m not an official, but the governor of your Jiaozhou Prefecture is my man. Of course, if you go to Gyeonggi Province, I can also arrange for someone to take care of you. I heard that our Ying family is doing quite well in Gyeonggi Province. I don’t think the mistakes you made back then were that big. Those tyrannical officials deserved to die.”

Because the people Yu Yue killed deserved to die, and because Yu Yue showed remorse, Ying Xun was willing to help him.

Upon hearing this, the God of Arrest was startled: "You're from the Ying family of Anzhou? Could it be... you're the legendary head of the Ying family?!"

"You also know who won Anzhou?"

"I've heard of the rising power in Gyeonggi Province, but I never expected that your influence would extend to Sichuan. What exactly are you planning to do?"

The God of Catchers looked solemn. The Winners of Anju were a newly emerging force, and in just over half a year, they had already woven a huge net in Gyeonggi Province.

Its rapid development is astonishing.

Now they've even extended their reach to the distant Shu region, making one wonder what the winner is secretly plotting.

Ying Xun could more or less see through the God of Catcher's thoughts, and couldn't help but feel a little amused and exasperated.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know?"

"What do you think?"

Ying Xun said helplessly, "Whether you believe it or not, I really don't know anything about it, and we have no ulterior motives."

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

The God of Arrest snorted coldly, not believing Ying Xun's words at all, and turned to leave, wanting to report the matter as soon as possible.

Ying Xun nodded seriously: "Yeah, you really are pretty silly."

"you……"

The God of Catchers didn't continue speaking, because Ying Xun continued on his own: "However, whether you're stupid or not doesn't matter. What matters is that You Ruo is in Jiaozhou City. Aren't you going to go see her?"

The God of Catchers looked completely bewildered, but then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Who are you talking about?"
