"Saintess, why did you agree to him just now?!"
"This guy has a wife at ho and still thinks about won outside, he’s a complete scumbag!"
After breakfast, Liu Su pulled Qiu Zhihe into the bedroom and asked her softly.
Just now, that black-hearted man made such an absurd request, yet the Saintess agreed outright, totally baffling Liu Su.
Qiu Zhihe glanced outside and said indifferently, "I am not truly married to him; he’s only a tool for to restore my cultivation. Why should I compete with other female cultivators for a man?"
"Not at all!" Liu Su said anxiously,
"But in na, this guy is your husband, and you have... consummated the marriage. If this bastard really marries that Mo Xiaolan soday..."
"Would he dare?" Qiu Zhihe’s gaze was cold and fierce.
Liu Su froze, her mouth twitching.
Who said she wouldn’t get jealous just now?
Qiu Zhihe quickly regained her calm, her voice cold:
"I understand him, if he truly had a second heart, he wouldn’t be candid. Between him and Mo Xiaolan, there’s only friendship, just like... between you and many brothers and sisters of the Cyan Lotus Sect."
Liu Su wanted to say more, but Qiu Zhihe continued:
"Ultimately, he and I are not people of the sa world, and one day I will leave. If I leave, that Mo Xiaolan would be the most suitable person for him."
Liu Su was stunned and speechless for a mont.
For so reason, she felt that the Saintess had changed.
The forr Saintess was cold and stern, murderous intent overwhelming.
But the Saintess now seed to have sothing else in her cold eyes.
Liu Su suddenly asked, "Saintess, if your cultivation is fully restored and you slaughter the Three Great Sects, those Righteous Path cultivators will surely declare you as the number one demon of the ti. By then, Qin Gengyun might also see you that way and might join those righteous paths to hunt you down..."
Qiu Zhihe was silent for a mont, then turned away, calmly saying:
"I won’t let him know my identity. If he wants to kill , I will naturally kill him too."
After speaking, she looked at Liu Su: "Aren’t you going to help him with cultivation?"
Liu Su let out a sound, walked out of the kitchen, and looked back only to see Qiu Zhihe still standing where she was, her expression sowhat confused.
Alas!
The Saintess hasn’t changed.
Still as stubborn as before.
Liu Su sighed, but then heard Qin Gengyun urging:
"Taoist Friend Susu, why such delay? If you don’t co soon I’ll deduct your Spirit Stone."
"Damn you, black-hearted man!"
...
p.m.
Night market.
Night had deepened, pedestrians beca sparse, and the vendors were closing their stalls.
"There isn’t much stock left, in four or five days, once the stock is sold out, I can leave Yunling Town."
Mo Xiaolan checked the remaining talisman paper and pills and started packing up.
"Taoist Friend Mo, have you heard? Sothing big happened in the Northern Wilderness!"
This was Huang Xun from the adjacent booth hurrying back, his expression a bit flustered.
"Northern Wilderness? What happened?" Mo Xiaolan asked curiously.
Huang Xun said, "The Three Great Sects went to Celestial Ridge Mountain to seek the Demon Sect Saint Master’s relic, but fell into a trap, suffering heavy losses. It’s said that the Inner Sect Elder Sang Yue from Zhenyang Sect and one of Thunder Sword Sect’s three elders, Xu Zhenqian, died!"
"Senior Sister Ye Xiyue from Zhenyang Sect and Junior Sister Su Hongling from Thunder Sword Sect were also seriously injured!"
"What?!" Mo Xiaolan was also sowhat shocked.
The nas Sang Yue, Xu Zhenqian, Ye Xiyue, and Su Hongling, who seed so high above, had two easily erased!
"The Three Great Sects are going to change greatly, aren’t they?"
"Indeed, Ye Xiyue was very likely to beco an Inner Sect Elder and could have taken over as Sect Leader after reaching Divinity Transformation. But now her master, Elder Sang Yue, died unexpectedly, and she herself is seriously injured, her position within Zhenyang Sect is likely unstable."
"Su Hongling is even worse off, rumored to have hurt her foundation, with her innate top-grade Spirit Root damaged. Whether she can continue cultivating is questionable!"
"Only Feiyun Sect was smart, sending disciples below Nascent Soul this ti without jeopardizing their core, next ti in the Three Sect Grand Competition, Feiyun Sect might take the lead!"
Huang Xun kept talking about the rumors he just heard, sowhat like regular people gossiping about celebrities in Qin Gengyun’s previous life.
"Taoist Friend Huang, since the Three Sects were injured at Celestial Ridge Mountain, is the Northern Wilderness Trial still ongoing?"
Mo Xiaolan thought of sothing, her expression changed slightly, and asked hurriedly.
Huang Xun said, "That naturally can’t continue, it’s said the Three Sects have already ordered their disciples to end the Northern Wilderness Trial early and will soon return."
Mo Xiaolan clenched her fists, her crisp voice turning deep:
"Every year during the Northern Wilderness Trial, loose cultivators secretly follow behind after the Three Sect disciples sweep clean to collect leftovers. If the Three Sects leave the Northern Wilderness early, these loose cultivators naturally can only leave too."
Huang Xun imdiately reacted, his expression also changed:
"Taoist Friend Mo, are you saying that Zhou Kun will also return early to Yunling Town?"
An hour later.
Narrow Rain Lane.
"Taoist Friend Mo, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why not leave after saying farewell to the neighbors tomorrow, I won’t charge you rent for tonight."
Landlord Lin said to the backpacked Mo Xiaolan.
Mo Xiaolan had lived in Narrow Rain Lane for several years, hardworking, strong, warm-hearted, kind, and had good relations with the neighbors. Landlord Lin also liked her very much.
Unexpectedly, Mo Xiaolan suddenly ca to her tonight, returned the deposit, and said she wanted to leave imdiately.
Landlord Lin was caught off guard, ca to see, only to find Mo Xiaolan had already cleaned the house spotlessly facilitating imdiate rental.
Landlord Lin felt sowhat reluctant, thus wanting to keep her for one more night.
Mo Xiaolan smiled and bowed to Landlord Lin:
"No need, Landlord Lin, thank you for your care over the years. If I return in the future, I’ll definitely visit you."
Landlord Lin seeing her intent firm, couldn’t help sighing, looked towards the alley end:
"Not going to say goodbye to Taoist Friend Qin?"
Mo Xiaolan smiled and shook her head: "No, Taoist Friend Qin is happily married to his wife, I’m happy for him. Sister Lin, there’s one more thing, could you help ?"
Monts later, Landlord Lin’s gaze flickered, sighed, ended up agreeing to help.
"Sister Lin, thank you, till we et again!"
"Xiaolan, till we et again!"
Bidding farewell to the landlord, Mo Xiaolan strode out of Narrow Rain Lane, her figure tall and straight, the orchid on her left shoulder emitting a faint glow in the moonlight, illuminating the dark stone road ahead.
After walking several yards, that graceful figure paused, looked back at Narrow Rain Lane.
The Danfeng eyes slightly moist, ultimately transford into a smile:
"Taoist Friend Qin, take care!"
...
Four days later.
[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fourth Layer, 321/1000]
[Skill: Second Tier Alchemist, 1/500]
[Spirit Root: Fire Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (280/1000), Ice Series Middle Grade Spirit Root (287/1000)]
Qin Gengyun was checking the illusory words, the sound of Liu Su’s screams again echoed outside the bedroom.
"Getting up, Miss, I’m getting up!"
These past few days Liu Su worked as the Spirit Fan dicine Attendant, also helped him cultivate, having to work ten hours daily, truly exhausted.
Originally still getting up early each day to cook, these past days, she couldn’t get up at all.
Qin Gengyun walked out of the bedroom, the Alchemy Room door was open, only to see Liu Su under Qiu Zhihe’s supervision, yawning, sitting cross-legged while cultivating, a face of misery.
Qin Gengyun chuckled, went out to buy breakfast for three people, after breakfast, said to Qiu Zhihe:
"Zhihe, I’m going to the Pill Talisman Tower to sell the Ice Purity Pill I’ve made these days, buy Spirit Marrow, and send so pieces to Taoist Friend Mo."
Qiu Zhihe responded with a sound and sat down next to Liu Su, also closing her eyes to start cultivating.
Qin Gengyun went out, passed by Mo Xiaolan’s house, thought to himself at this ti Taoist Friend Mo should be working as a Post House Cultivator, right?
Once I buy Spirit Marrow, I’ll deliver it to her tonight, and then let Taoist Friend Susu co over to help her breakthrough.
