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

In Qinjian Villa, there is a mansion with the most abundant spiritual energy.

Zhou Yiqiao stopped and stared for a moment, then finally took out the token given to him by Qing Jimeng and stepped into the courtyard.

He came to the main hall of the courtyard and his eyes fell on the woman sitting at the chief seat.

She was wearing a water blue gauze dress, with a sexy and hot figure and a gorgeous face, but the coldness revealed in her beautiful eyes made it impossible for people to have any bad thoughts.

"Miss."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed and behaved gracefully.

Qing Jimeng looked up when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Zhou Yiqiao, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly.

"You're here, sit down."

Zhou Yiqiao sat down as he was told, but he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

He and Qing Jimeng had not seen each other for hundreds of years, and he really couldn't guess the temperament of this young lady Qing Jimeng.

In my memory, although she was beautiful, her personality was very unpredictable. She was always cold and rarely smiled.

"You came here this time, presumably to get my verbal protection?"

Qing Jimeng gently stroked her sleeve and poured Zhou Yiqiao a cup of fragrant tea, her voice clear and pleasant.

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and said frankly.

"That's right. Now that I'm in prison, I can only survive this crisis with the protection of the young lady."

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, a complex look flashed in her beautiful eyes. She gently put down the teapot, and a hint of contemplation appeared in her voice.

"If it was before my birthday, even if you didn't give me the Ice Heart Pearl, I would still agree to your request."

"but......"

Qing Jimeng wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"You also saw it at the birthday banquet. The dispute between the Great Elder and my father was almost exposed."

"Of course I can give you shelter, but I can't do everything for you. After all, if I blindly favor you, the Great Elders will probably use it as an excuse to attack my father."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his heart tightened, he knew that what Qing Jimeng said was true.

In Qinjian Villa, the power struggle has long been undercurrent, and his coming here to seek asylum is a gamble.

"So...what does Miss mean?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked tentatively.

Qing Jimeng was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I can provide you with a certain degree of protection, but you need to be careful and try to avoid conflict with the Great Elder's faction."

"At the same time, I hope you can provide me with some help."

"help?"

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned.

"good."

Qing Jimeng nodded.

"Everyone in the world says that our Qinjian Villa is a sect on the surface, but in reality it is a cultivation family controlled by the Qing family. This is true."

The fairy-like girl told the secret of Qinjian Villa directly without any intention of avoiding Zhou Yiqiao.

"But outsiders only know one side of the story, not the other."

Qing Jimeng sighed softly and continued.

"These holy sects in Zhongzhou may look glorious on the surface, but in fact, they all have some problems to a greater or lesser extent, and my Qinjian Villa is no exception."

"The unstable factors within these holy sects are all pawns secretly controlled by the four holy places."

"In order to maintain the balance of power in Central Continent and their own interests, the Four Sacred Grounds will constantly sow discord among the major sacred sects, and even directly place pawns to sabotage them."

"And the lineage of the Great Elder is precisely the opposition force supported by the Four Sacred Grounds in my Qinjian Villa."

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked when he heard this. He had never imagined that there was such a complicated power struggle behind this.

"Have all the major holy sects ever thought of resisting?"

He asked somewhat puzzled.

Qing Jimeng shook his head, a trace of helplessness on his face.

"Resistance? How easy is that? The Four Sacred Grounds have a profound foundation that cannot be compared to ordinary sects."

"What's more, their power has already infiltrated every corner of Central China. Our resistance is like hitting a rock with an egg."

"There are so many sects in Zhongzhou. You want to rebel. Some of them want to be controlled by the Four Holy Lands and become the next Holy Sect."

"So, we can only deal with them secretly and try our best to maintain the stability within the sect."

Qing Jimeng's voice was low and firm. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Yiqiao with sharp eyes.

"And you are the force we need right now."

Zhou Yiqiao's heart moved. He felt vaguely that if he agreed to Qing Jimeng's request, he would be involved in an unprecedented storm.

Although Qing Jimeng's words were not very clear, he was able to understand some of them.

Today, Qinjian Villa is in danger and must be supported by another force.

And this power can only come from external aid.

In other words, it is Zhou Yiqiao.

In other words, it is the Netherworld Demon Sect behind Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao frowned. He knew very well that the grudge between the Netherworld Demon Sect and Qinjian Villa could not be resolved overnight.

Although he was willing to work for Qing Jimeng, he also understood the limitations brought about by his position and identity.

"Miss, although I am willing to do my part for Qinjian Villa, I cannot ignore the grudge between the Netherworld Demon Sect and your clan."

Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a moment and spoke frankly.

Qing Jimeng smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Zhou Yiqiao's concerns.

She waved her hand gently, indicating that Zhou Yiqiao didn't need to worry too much.

"Zhou Yiqiao, you misunderstood what I meant."

Qing Jimeng's voice became much softer.

"The conflict between Qinjian Villa and the Netherworld Demon Sect was actually deliberately instigated by my father."

"Have you ever thought about why the Netherworld Demon Sect, recognized as the number one demon sect in the Tianchen Realm, has always been entrenched in Yongzhou and has never set foot in Zhongzhou?"

"Why would the Heavenly Questioning Pavilion, one of the most dignified holy sects, set up a list called the Rebirth List in order to hunt down the disciples of the Demonic Path?"

"Why, in the barren and cold land of the wild continent, there was a great Khan of extraordinary talent, who, after unifying all the barbarian monks in an impossible way, only attacked the Netherworld Demon Realm and has not yet set foot in other continents?"

Zhou Yiqiao was shocked when he heard this. He had never thought deeply about these issues before.

But when he heard Qing Jimeng mention it at this moment, it was like an epiphany, and he instantly understood many truths that he had not noticed before.

"Miss, what do you mean?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked cautiously. He knew the answers to these questions very well, but he didn't dare to face the reality.

Qing Jimeng sighed softly, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

"It's just as you think. The Netherworld Demon Sect's strength has long been the same as the Holy Sect. The Villa has formed an alliance with the Demon Sect, and because of this, it has been feared by the Four Holy Lands."

"In order to maintain the safety of the two sects, my father and Senior Tuoba of your clan had to stir up conflicts between the two sects and hide the alliance between the two sects underground!"
