Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

In order to avoid other people's gazes, Bi Yao and Zhou Yiqiao stayed in the backyard for a long time.

The two chatted for about an hour, and Qing Jimeng's birthday finally began.

Bi Yao took Zhou Yiqiao through the bamboo forest and returned to the main hall.

At this time, the layout of the main hall has changed.

The gorgeous lanterns hung high, illuminating the entire hall with golden splendor and colorful lights.

There are long tables on both sides of the hall, which are filled with all kinds of spiritual vegetables and fruits, fine wines and delicacies. The aroma is so fragrant that it makes people salivate.

In the center of the hall is a huge stage covered with a red carpet and various musical instruments, which is obviously prepared for the next performance.

Except for the protagonist of the birthday party and some noble and powerful people, the guests have already taken their seats, laughing and talking, making the event very lively.

Zhou Yiqiao followed Bi Yao through the crowd and sat down in the empty seat behind Elder Qingmu.

Although this position is not as prominent as Elder Aoki's seat, it can also clearly see the stage in the center of the hall.

The two of them clinked glasses, sipped their drinks, and occasionally lowered their heads to talk for a few words, waiting for the auspicious moment to come.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more heated.

Suddenly, pleasant music sounded, and a group of dancers in light gauze floated out from both sides of the stage and landed on the stage.

Their dancing moves are graceful, like fairies descending to earth, a feast for the eyes.

As the opening dance ended, the owner of the villa, Qing Lietian, and his daughter, Qing Jimeng, slowly walked into the main hall.

Qing Lietian was dressed in a blue shirt, with an elegant temperament and a majestic aura without even being angry.

Qing Jimeng was dressed in a white dress as white as snow, with a fluttering skirt, like a fairy in the Moon Palace, breathtakingly beautiful.

"Although it's the eldest lady's birthday, why can't I see the second lady Qing Xiyao?"

Amid the noisy crowd, Zhou Yiqiao turned his head to look at Bi Yao strangely and asked softly.

You must know that when Qing Xiyao was ordered to pick up Zhou Yiqiao, the identity she revealed was the Saint of Qinjian Villa.

Theoretically, it is impossible for the Saint not to appear on such an important occasion.

However, since entering the main hall, Zhou Yiqiao has not seen Qing Xiyao.

"Qing Xiyaoyu and Qing Jimeng are not from the same family. The relationship between them is not as good as you think."

Bi Yao stretched out a green finger to twist the wine glass, gently shaking the wine in the glass, and said with a hint of playfulness in her tone.

"Any cultivator with some power in the Tianchen Realm knows that Qinjian Villa is the private property of the Qing family."

"Since it is the private property of the Qing family, then Qing Xiyao, as a direct descendant of the Qing family, has become a saint that all the disciples and female disciples of the villa can compete for. Do you think she is favored or excluded?"

Bi Yao's words made Zhou Yiqiao suddenly realize.

"When the Second Miss came to take in Junior Brother, her attitude was quite arrogant."

"Junior brother, I thought that the Second Miss's position in Qinjian Villa was like Senior Sister Biyao's position in Qingmu's lineage, second only to one person and above everyone else."

Zhou Yiqiao said jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao gave Zhou Yiqiao a displeased look but continued to explain with a smile on her face.

"Qing Xiyao's personality is indeed rather arrogant and domineering, but this does not mean that her status in the villa is high."

"In fact, her status in the villa is not high, and it can even be said to be a bit embarrassing."

"Oh? Why is that?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked curiously.

Biyao put down her wine glass.

"Although Qing Xiyao is a direct descendant of the Qing family, her mother is not Qing Lietian's legal wife, but a concubine."

"In the Qing family, children born to concubines have a low status to begin with, not to mention Qing Xiyao's mother died early, so she has no one to rely on in the Qing family."

"Although Qing Lietian treats his two daughters as his own, Qing Jimeng, as the legitimate daughter, is naturally given more attention."

"Although Qing Xiyao has the status of a saint, this is just a title given to her by Qing Lietian in order to balance the forces within the villa."

"Inside the villa, the elders who truly hold the real power are well aware of this matter, so they are naturally more attentive to Qing Jimeng."

"With these elders taking the lead, everyone in the villa will respect Qing Jimeng even more."

"So, Qing Xiyao's status in the villa is not high, and it can even be said to be a bit embarrassing."

Biyao's words gave Zhou Yiqiao a deeper understanding of Qing Xiyao's situation.

"No wonder. It was clearly a ceremony to thank the mysterious senior, and the elders even specially prepared congratulations for the young lady."

Zhou Yiqiao said in a low voice, feeling a little sympathy for Qing Xiyao's situation.

Biyao nodded and continued.

"However, Qing Xiyao's personality is also a reason for her awkward position."

"She relies on her noble status and acts arrogantly, lacking due respect for the disciples and elders in the villa."

"This also makes her unpopular within the villa, and many people stay away from her."

"Does Qing Xiyao know her position in the villa?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked curiously.

Bi Yao sighed softly and said.

"Of course she knows it, but people are always a little pretentious."

"Qing Xiyao has lived in the Qing family since she was a child, enjoying the treatment of a direct descendant. Even though she knows that her status in the villa is not high, she will not easily change her behavior."

Having said that, Bi Yao seemed to remember something and gave Zhou Yiqiao a serious instruction.

"Having said all that, I have to warn you."

"Although the eldest lady has never been harsh on the second lady, the second lady has always believed that her current situation is due to the existence of the eldest lady."

"After you present the Ice Heart Pearl, the Second Miss will most likely regard you as the eldest lady's supporter."

"At that point, she might become hostile toward you, or even take some action against you."

There was a hint of seriousness in Biyao's tone.

"The eldest lady has always regarded the hostility of the second lady as the willfulness of a little girl and never took it to heart."

"That is to say, by then, although the attitudes of the other people in Qinjian Villa towards you will change, Qing Xiyao's attitude towards you may become even worse."

"So, while you are at the villa, you must be careful and try not to conflict with Qing Xiyao."

Zhou Yiqiao frowned slightly when he heard this, but then relaxed again.

Compared with the targeting of the entire Qinjian Villa, Qing Xiyao's hostility seemed insignificant.

Besides, he had fought with Qing Xiyao before and had a clear understanding of Qing Xiyao's strength.

As long as he is careful enough, Qing Xiyao will never pose much of a threat to him.

Thinking of this, he nodded towards Bi Yao.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Bi Yao, for your reminder. I will be careful."

Bi Yao felt relieved when she heard Zhou Yiqiao's answer. The two of them turned their attention back to the stage and stopped communicating.
