"Those who are marked, it's best not to go to the deep sea anymore."

"Aren't their numbers particularly small?" Yu Ziqing's eyes brightened, understanding somewhat why the Black Ship Saint always lingered in the deep sea.

"You should definitely not be curious. The strength of those things is secondary, but their ability to disgust people is top-notch." Han Dong quickly advised.

"Don't worry, I'm not like Xi Yang who courts death for the sake of courting death."

"The people of the Xi Family have always been this way..." Han Dong shook his head, thinking of Ruan Renwang, he couldn't say much.

"By the way, there's another matter. By the way, may I ask, Brother Dong, in your travels in the world, have you ever heard of a strong figure called Qingping?"

"Qingping..." Han Dong was slightly taken aback.

"Has Brother Dong heard of this person?"

"No." Han Dong shook his head, gazing in the direction of Daqian, feeling a bit wistful.

"I just thought, back when the Supreme Emperor of Daqian was still in his residence, there was a Magical Treasure named Qingping.

After he ascended the throne, he no longer used this Magical Treasure, nor did he bestow it upon anyone.

When I was young and just starting to practice swordplay, the sword I most wanted was that Qingping Sword.

Later, I learned the significance of that sword, and I understood it was impossible to be bestowed upon me."

Yu Ziqing's eyes flashed, and a spirit light suddenly emerged in his mind.

That's it, it must be correct, Qingping is the True Name.

At that time, Qingping introduced himself very formally, it was a proper introduction, just that he didn't understand it.

Now, hearing Han Dong's words, Yu Ziqing instantly understood why.

That person was the incarnation of the Old Emperor Qian, the incarnation of the Qingping Sword.

That's why he was particularly concerned about the specific time of Dadui's return, Yu Ziqing answered honestly, though it was a bit vague, but indeed Yu Ziqing wasn't sure.

And Qingping's formal self-introduction was a reciprocation wrapped in mystery, whether one understood it or not was Yu Ziqing's issue.

It matched the uncertainty of Dadui's return time perfectly.

In an instant, many things became clear to Yu Ziqing.

No wonder Qingping appeared publicly, getting involved in the sixty-four-sided Crystal matter, getting involved yet didn't seem very concerned.

He didn't intercept it mid-way after failing to secure it during the auction.

If it was the incarnation of the Old Emperor Qian, it all made sense suddenly.

The Old Emperor Qian tricked the Cliff Divine King so skillfully, how could he earnestly serve the Cliff Divine King.

Yu Ziqing nearly laughed out loud, the White Water Egg organization went there, just to fish in troubled waters, and even fought to put up a show at the end.

The Old Emperor Qian staged even the act sloppily, meaning he didn't really want that thing falling into the hands of the Cliff Divine King, neither did he consider the transaction with the Cliff Divine King very important anymore.

Perhaps he already obtained what he wanted from the Cliff Divine King, now he's just playing along, not wanting to turn hostile, that's all.

He now only cares about Dadui's return, and then advancing to the Tenth Tier.

That's eighty percent assured, with almost no suspense left.

"What I've seen is indeed the Qingping Sword, it introduced itself."

Han Dong's eyes grew intense, hesitated to say something.

His wife, seeing his manner, immediately took over the conversation.

"You'd better stay far away from him, that person will use anyone he can leverage, the more trustworthy he seems, the more dangerous he becomes."

Han Dong said nothing, he agreed with it, after all, the Old Emperor Qian was his father, whether there's affection or not, when it comes to speaking, there are some things that need to be avoided.

"Rest assured, it was just a chance encounter with his incarnation, we just talked a bit."

If Yu Ziqing had known earlier it was the Old Emperor Qian's incarnation, he might have even thought of a way to let him take a fake.

Then see if he would give it to the Cliff Divine King or not, either way, giveng or not would incur hatred for him.

Leaving Han Dong's place, Yu Ziqing took out another backup sixty-four-sided Crystal fake, looked through the sixty-four sides, and information appeared within.

"Gaga, jiejie."

Yu Ziqing smacked his lips, couldn't help chuckling along.

If that Juice hadn't mixed something extra and personal stash, he would have swallowed this Crystal Ball whole on the spot!

Yu Ziqing put away the Crystal Ball, went to the southwest corner, and sat in front of Juice.

"You added something, right? Making false to true, it's almost becoming a substitute."

Juice remained motionless, as usual.

Yu Ziqing looked at the Snake Willow, Snake Willow scribbled a line swiftly.

"Don't ask, ask and it's unknown, talk and it's worthless, anyway, there's no harm."

"Alright." Yu Ziqing nodded, indeed stopped asking.

After telling Juice a few small stories over a few days, Yu Ziqing leisurely left.

After meeting Yuan Chou in a secret chamber, Yu Ziqing directly said.

"You used a fake Crystal Ball to fool those Bald ones and escape.

You used an even better fake Crystal Ball to fool the Black Shadow Man, letting him take the fake and leave.

You refused to be silenced just like that, died grudgingly, and tricked him on your last breath."

Yuan Chou was just about to say, his fake Crystal Ball was extremely fake, impossible...

But seeing Yu Ziqing's eyes, Yuan Chou understood.

He nodded.

"Right, that's it."

"Yes, once you recovered from the Evil state, as your consciousness slowly returned, you finally remembered where the real one was hidden.

I and Fish Bone used a ritual to save you, you then gifted me the Crystal Ball for me to handle."

"Correct, that thing is of no use to me, keeping it would only bring trouble, as long as the Black Shadow Man doesn't get it, it's fine." Yuan Chou cooperatively said.

"Very good, if there's a chance, I will let you avenge personally."

Yu Ziqing smiled, turned and left.

He found Fish Bone, tossing the backup Crystal Ball casually to him.

"Take it, Yuan Chou wanted to thank you, so he gave it to you, as long as it doesn't fall into the Black Shadow Man's hands, he can accept it."

Fish Bone held the Crystal Ball, his eyeballs almost popped out.

"This... this..."

"Take it, making good ties, doing good deeds, perhaps inadvertently in the future, you might gain rewards at critical moments.

I don't need this thing, take it with you.

As for the path you want to take, whether or not to help other Saints avoid turning into Evils, that's up to you.

The tattoos you personally engraved, whichever Black Ship Saint they are upon, will be useful."

Yu Ziqing patted Fish Bone's shoulder, chuckled and said.

"I think you're right."
