Qing Mengmeng and Ji Daiyu were stunned by Yun Lintian's question.
Yun Lintian continued speaking. "He is the servant of the Qing Clan's eldest young miss who was accused many years ago."
"I know..." Old Man Tang struggled to speak.
"Grandpa Tang!" Qing Mengmeng hurriedly helped the old man to his feet.
"What do you want to know, sir?" Old Man Tang struggled to speak.
"He is my friend." Yun Lintian slowly descended from the sky and landed on the ground before Qing Mengmeng. "Do you know that someone in your Qing Clan framed him?"
Ji Daiyu and Qing Mengmeng were taken aback. They didn't expect a servant of the Qing Clan to know such an expert.
"Yes... Cough!" Old Man Tang coughed heavily, and his ethereal body swayed back and forth as if he were about to disappear at any moment.
Yun Lintian frowned slightly and threw a pill toward him. "Take it."
Qing Mengmeng grabbed the pill and looked at it with surprise. Without a doubt, it was a high-quality pill. She then hastily placed the pill in the old man's mouth.
A moment later, the old man's unsettled spirit began to calm, and his injuries gradually healed.
Ji Daiyu's pupils shrank. He had seen many high-quality pills before, but none of them could facilitate such rapid recovery.
Fear immediately flooded Ji Daiyu's heart. If the old man were to recover, it would be a disaster for him.
Ji Daiyu's mind raced. He struggled hard with the decision of whether to attempt an escape.
Old Man Tang cupped his fists and expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, sir. I owe you my life."
Old Man Tang quickly stepped in front of Qing Mengmeng and fixed Yun Lintian with a serious gaze. "I cannot agree with this, sir. Please leave her alone. As for this life, I will return to you."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, preparing to take his own life.
"No, Grandpa!" Qing Mengmeng hurriedly stopped him.
Yun Lintian immediately felt bored when he saw this. He put away the smile and said expressionlessly. "Forget it. I was just teasing you."
He glanced at the old man and continued speaking. "Your life is worthless to me. It doesn't matter to me whether you want to live or die."
Old Man Tang lowered his hand and bowed deeply. "Thank you for sparing the young miss, sir."
Yun Lintian looked at Ji Daiyu and asked. "How is her sister?"
Ji Daiyu quickly replied. "Although she has been imprisoned, no one has ever touched her in the past decade. After all, we know that Qing Heng would become frantic if anything happened to her."
Qing Mengmeng felt relieved after hearing this. At least her elder sister was fine.
"Do you think your family will exchange her and Li Chao for you?" Yun Lintian asked calmly. "Think carefully before answering."
In fact, Yun Lintian didn't care about the so-called eldest lady of the Qing Clan or the life and death of either clan. He simply wanted to deliver the culprit responsible for Zhao Ming's incident to him. If it couldn't be done, he would just let it be.
Ji Daiyu struggled hard. A moment later, he gritted his teeth and said. "I don't think they will exchange them for me."
"Oh? Why is that?" Yun Lintian asked with a faint smile.
"She holds more value to the Ji Clan than I do." Ji Daiyu revealed a wry smile. "They captured Qing Xiwei because she can be used to threaten the Qing Clan for a spot on the Bridge of Oblivion[1]."
"Bridge of Oblivion?" Yun Lintian was surprised. "It's still there?"
"Yes," Ji Daiyu responded. "Although the bridge has been destroyed, there is still a lingering sense of power around the place. We usually use that place to temper our souls."
"The value is higher than that." Old Man Tang took the initiative to explain. "If one desires to break through the God Emperor Realm and achieve godhood, they must pass through the bridge and gain its approval. If they are fortunate, they will have the opportunity to be reincarnated."
Yun Lintian became interested. "Wouldn't this imply that the path to reincarnation wasn't completely destroyed?"
"You can understand it that way, sir." Old Man Tang replied. "However, only one person has ever achieved it in the past million years."
