West Lake, Dragon King’s Water Palace.
“Sister~ Just let me go~”
Xiao Qing dragged out her tone, holding onto Bai Su Zhen’s willow waist and refusing to let go.
But no matter how much she begged.
Bai Su Zhen remained cold and unwilling to speak.
After grinding away for a long time.
Xiao Qing, like a dead fish, lay on Bai Su Zhen’s legs, gazing listlessly at the sky, muttering something under her breath.
While Bai Su Zhen didn’t look at her, she could still hear Xiao Qing’s mumbling.
Curious, she secretly pricked up her ears to listen. She only heard the beginning before nearly bursting out laughing.
Xiao Qing was mumbling.
She was just saying that she would turn the faithless Ao Qing into Spicy Dragon Head, Spicy Dragon Claws, Spicy Dragon Meat...
Bai Su Zhen couldn’t hold back her smile. She pinched Xiao Qing’s little face, laughing helplessly, "Are you not afraid he'll turn you into Salt and Pepper Snake Segments?"
With her little face pinched, Xiao Qing spoke with unclear articulation, mumbling, "Wo pa ta?"
"Afraid of what?"
A flash of green light at the entrance, Ao Qing poked his head in curiously.
Bai Su Zhen rubbed Xiao Qing’s face, smiling sweetly, “It’s Xiao Qing. She said she wants to turn you into a four-course meal.”
Ao Qing chuckled, walking over to them and squatting down. He also pinched Xiao Qing’s cheeks with a smile, "So brave? You want to eat dragon meat?"
Xiao Qing rolled her eyes at Ao Qing, flipped over, and lay on her side facing Bai Su Zhen, burying her face in Bai Su Zhen’s abdomen.
Dodging the two bullies’ big hands, Xiao Qing muttered in a muffled voice, "You two are no good."
Bai Su Zhen and Ao Qing exchanged a look, both laughing.
After joking around for a while, Ao Qing called in Hua Yun and Xia Gu. The five of them gathered together and discussed business.
Ao Qing first recounted the situation with Daoist Zhong Li, looking around, he said solemnly, “A stingy, greedy cultivator, indeed capable of doing such things in broad daylight.”
“But, how did he restore his cultivation, and why did he come to Yu Hang, these are all questions.”
Hua Yun fiddled with the flowers on the table, her eyes slightly narrowed, she said softly, “Why don’t we find a secluded place, call the Daoist over, and cut him down with one strike?”
Bai Su Zhen’s expression froze, but she couldn’t speak up.
These past two days, she and Xiao Qing had chatted casually, and she had roughly figured out the relationship between Hua Yun, Xia Gu, and Ao Qing.
She also understood that these two women both considered Ao Qing their husband.
Plus a little Xiao Qing.
It was as if Ao Qing’s whole family was gathered together to discuss matters.
If she spoke, wouldn’t she be acknowledging her identity.
Xia Gu pondered for a moment, dissuading her, “Without any evidence, killing someone casually will easily affect Qing.”
Hua Yun also frowned, nodding helplessly, “You’re right. My idea was indeed inappropriate, but it seems there’s no simple solution now.”
“The maids and servants I brought are all water creatures, they can’t come ashore normally.”
“If the Daoist wants to hide, we may not be able to find him.”
Xia Gu looked at Ao Qing, “Can’t your Divine Sense find him either?”
Ao Qing spread his hands. He had already used his Divine Sense to sweep through the entire Qiantang on his way back.
But he didn’t know if it was because the Daoist’s cultivation was high, or because he had a secret treasure.
Ao Qing had searched several times, but he still couldn’t find the Daoist’s figure.
Hua Yun didn’t find this strange.
The Dongting Dragon King Palace hid many methods to avoid Divine Sense detection.
There were pills, and there were also magical treasures.
As long as it didn’t exceed a certain limit of concealment.
Even the eyes of a Celestial could be fooled for a while.
Listening to the three of them discussing, Bai Su Zhen felt a growing anxiety in her heart.
When she first heard about it, she didn’t feel anything strange.
But now, after listening to a few sentences, she felt like things were getting bigger and bigger.
Ao Qing was an immortal who had ascended.
To hide his Divine Sense, one would need at least the methods of an Earth Immortal.
A disciple who had been expelled from his sect, and yet he had items refined by an Earth Immortal, this was hard not to suspect.
Xiao Qing suddenly raised her little hand, looking seriously at Ao Qing, “Could it be that old Daoist from Laoshan?”
Ao Qing shook his head, indicating no, he hesitated for a moment, and explained, “He’s too weak.”
Yes, the Daoist from Laoshan was too weak.
Before going to the mountain, Ao Qing had already anticipated the old Daoist’s level, and he was prepared to fight directly.
But after meeting him, he realized.
The Daoist from Laoshan’s strongest technique was his trick of turning fakes into real.
Besides this trick, he had no other special methods.
Bai Su Zhen finally couldn’t hold back anymore. Listening to their conversation, she felt as if the entire Yu Hang was on the verge of danger. She also ignored the matter of her identity.
“I’ll go find Master. She should have a way.”
Ao Qing gasped and hurriedly got up, pressing down on Bai Su Zhen’s thin shoulders, making her sit back down, “Such a trivial matter, no need to bother her old self. You sit quietly and listen to me.”
With her shoulders pressed down, Bai Su Zhen pursed her lips and didn’t speak.
Ao Qing raised his head and looked around, a smile spreading across his face, he reassured her, “Just a Daoist who hasn’t become an immortal yet, I’ll handle him.”
“I know where to find enough manpower.”
…
Near Yu Hang, in a certain mountain.
A raggedly dressed Daoist dragged a hemp rope into a cave.
Not long after.
He led four or five men and women out, a radiant smile on his dirty face, "The envoy from above is coming today, you better be good!"
“Don’t provoke the envoy, or the envoy will have you flayed alive!”
He finished his threat and dragged the men and women tied up with ropes, continuing to walk towards the outside of the mountain.
Not far away.
A man of short stature stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing the man from afar, the Daoist rushed to the envoy’s side in three strides, “My lord Zhi Qiu, you’ve waited long. This month’s harvest is all here.”
The short envoy turned around, revealing a face strikingly similar to the famous Hong Kong singer, he coughed lightly, “Are you sure they’re all here?”
The Daoist looked embarrassed, he chuckled awkwardly, “Lord Zhi Qiu is wise. There’s one more woman, we’re currently planning how to capture her. Cheng Wu is working on a plan.”
Hearing that there was another accomplice, Zhi Qiu Yi Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, loosened his sword finger, and politely said, “Since there’s one more, I’ll wait two more days and take them all away together.”
