Upon hearing Lin Jin's words, Zhou Qing shook his head directly.
"I already said last ti, no matter how high the price, I'm not selling, nor do I plan to make it. This sticker harms the harmony of heaven, and making it too often will bring misfortune to oneself!"
Lin Jin chuckled softly and said lightly, "You don't sell because it hasn't reached the psychological price I offered. Everything in the world has its price; it's just a matter of not having enough chips."
"Moreover, the misfortune you worry about is rely the fear of the unknown. If one can exchange it for greater benefits at a fair price, why not?"
Zhou Qing was taken aback after listening.
This guy actually speaks without inverting words?
But since it's been brought up, he suddenly recalled the scene from the day when the County Governor and Mansion Master brought the Chief Eunuch from the Imperial City.
Zhong Yao said, during the investigation days, Gao Xianzhong was particularly unlucky, forcing them to stay at Taiqing Sect for a few days, trying to reverse their fortunes.
At this mont, it's just the right opportunity to solve the doubts in his heart.
Staring at Lin Jin's back, Zhou Qing spoke, "Ordinarily, I should address you as Lin Jin, right?"
After asking this, Zhou Qing surprisingly didn't sense much shock from him.
It seems, that night outside the academy's Cave Mansion, when Consort Chen chased after him shouting "Lin Jin brother," he should have realized that he and Yan were out watching the commotion.
"I don't want to delve into what happened between you and Consort Chen, or how you escaped death from the ruins. I just want to know, why did you use the [Bad Luck Sticker] on Gao Xianzhong?"
Zhou Qing said straightforwardly.
This ti, Lin Jin in white did not respond but turned around and left.
Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly, this guy—
He really wants to ask directly why the two plotted to eliminate the fifth prince, but if he asks this question, won't it expose his identity as No. 1?
After all, Sikong Yan only told him about this.
"The two are not the sa person, because the notes are different, but they are definitely collaborating. Since they negotiated terms with at the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect for [Bad Luck Sticker], they were actually planning it then."
"But the [Bad Luck Sticker] just makes one unlucky for three days, it won't take Gao Xianzhong's life. So what's the purpose of them doing this?"
Zhou Qing frowned deeply, lost in thought.
"Could it be, the death of the fifth prince is just the beginning, and Chief Eunuch Gao Xianzhong is one of their malicious amusents, they actually have other sches?"
Looking at the receding back of Lin Jin, Zhou Qing was filled with doubts.
Not just because of Consort Chen?
Lin Jin's perspective won't be so narrow, Sikong Yan wouldn't reach boredom to implicate himself for others, not even involving the entire Cangyan Daoist Palace.
Seeing Lin Jin in white leaving, Shen Yunzhou then ca over from the mountain gate and said, "Who is this guy? Didn't turn his face the whole ti, quite arrogant!"
Zhou Qing answered, "Just an old acquaintance."
Shen Yunzhou nodded, didn't ask more.
Just as the two turned to enter the mountain gate, a flying ship ca speeding from the northwest direction, accompanied by excited shouts: "Zhou, Zhou—"
Zhou Qing looked up, and as he saw the figure on the ship's deck, his eyes lit up: "Jiang Pojun—"
Soon, Jiang Pojun ca over, laughed heartily, and rushed over, giving Zhou Qing a bear hug.
Feeling this long-lost hearty atmosphere, Zhou Qing's mood lifted greatly.
"Long ti no see!" Jiang Pojun said.
Zhou Qing responded with a wide smile: "Long ti no see, why aren't you guarding the border, suddenly ca inland?"
"Of course, I ca specially for you. This… who is this?" Jiang Pojun was about to continue speaking when he saw Shen Yunzhou standing beside him, and asked.
Zhou Qing hurriedly introduced the two, they greeted each other with cupped hands, and got acquainted.
"Co on, you're probably here in Taiqing Sect for the first ti, let's go inside and talk!" Zhou Qing warmly invited.
Jiang Pojun nodded repeatedly, to be honest, rushing all the way here non-stop, he was indeed physically and ntally tired.
After entering the mountain gate, when Yan Xiaohu heard familiar Jiang Pojun had co, he imdiately ca over.
Yan Xiaohu always appreciated these hot-blooded n guarding the border.
This also made him recall when Old Fourth fought against five Vice Generals, he and those few Marshals bet on winning Top-Grade Spirit Stones.
Ti flies, years have passed, ti truly goes fast!
"Yan!" Jiang Pojun greeted with a smile upon seeing Yan Xiaohu.
After sitting down, they first briefly reminisced before Jiang Pojun moved to the main topic.
"Speaking of which, when I was patrolling with a team at the border, I encountered a flying ship, didn't expect you and Lu to be on it!"
Shen Yunzhou said with interest, "I was prepared to advise kindly, but the ship flew straight past."
Zhou Qing glanced at Shen Yunzhou without trace, then opened his mouth to explain: "At that ti, a senior brought to help."
"Understood, fully understood, the Prince said he was worried you might have sothing forbidden on you from that silver-haired Spirit Severing Realm. He specially ca to Taiqing Sect to investigate."
"After all, he and your ntor are friends; how could he not help, didn't expect to cause misunderstanding." Jiang Pojun hurriedly said.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's face sank, showing displeasure.
Seems to understand sothing, pursued: "This ti, did Elder Xuanyuan let you co find ?"
At this mont, Shen Yunzhou, beside them, listened to their words, and couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart.
