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

Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and took a sip of the spiritual tea. Then he stood up solemnly and bowed to Bi Yao.

"No matter what, I am grateful to Senior Sister Bi for rescuing me today. Otherwise, I really don't know what I would do."

After Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, he looked at Biyao with burning eyes and an extremely serious expression.

Bi Yao snorted softly, flicked her skirt and sat back behind the table, crossed her legs, her round calves like those of Madame Bovary swayed gently, and a smug smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"You know what I like most about you?"

Zhou Yiqiao looked confused and then shook his head.

Bi Yao chuckled softly, and her slender and tender white feet moved slowly, drawing a graceful arc in the air.

"Although all your actions are for your own benefit, the good thing is that you have a clear goal and don't have any extra thoughts."

"When dealing with you, at least I don't have to worry about being tricked after the deal is done, as I do with the famous and upright sects in Central Continent."

He smiled slightly and nodded.

"Senior Sister Bi is absolutely right. Although I am not talented, I always say what I mean and never lie."

"Besides, Senior Sister saved my life, how could I be ungrateful?"

When Biyao heard this, the smile on her face became even more pronounced.

She looked at Zhou Yiqiao and thought to herself that although this guy was a bit utilitarian, he was indeed a smart man and knew what to do and what not to do.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Bi Yao waved her hand, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"I originally thought you were joking, but after your subordinate came to inform me today, I realized that your situation was indeed dangerous."

"Do you know who framed you?"

Zhou Yiqiao was stunned when he heard this, but did not answer immediately.

"Don't you believe I can help you?"

Seeing this, Bi Yao raised her eyebrows and her pretty face instantly turned cold, as if she would get angry if Zhou Yiqiao said something wrong.

Since his own life was at stake, Zhou Yiqiao refused to give in.

"Although Senior Sister helped Junior Brother, I am very grateful."

"But Senior Sister is a disciple of Qinjian Villa after all, so I have to be on guard. I hope Senior Sister understands my difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao sneered, stood up, and stepped lightly on the ground with her jade feet. Suddenly, the whole attic trembled.

"Zhou Yiqiao, you are too clever for your own good!"

"Do you think I'm helping you? To tell you the truth, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me!"

"The reason I want to help you is that I don't want the person who finally entertains me to die like this!"

Zhou Yiqiao's expression did not change at all. He still looked at Bi Yao with a smile, but did not say a word.

The two of them confronted each other for a long time, and in the end, Bi Yao was the first to be defeated.

She sat back in her chair, sighed softly, raised her hands to her ears, and before Zhou Yiqiao could react, she swore to her own avenue.

"Zhou Yiqiao, I, Biyao, swear on my heart that the conversation between you and me today will never be known to anyone other than us!"

"If I break my oath, I will be punished by heaven, my heart will be shattered, and my body and soul will be destroyed!"

After swearing the oath, Bi Yao turned and looked at Zhou Yiqiao.

"Now you believe it!"

Biyao's tone was slightly higher, revealing the anger deep inside her.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled bitterly and nodded, finally sitting back in his seat.

"Sister, why are you doing this? If there was no instruction from the upper echelons of Qinjian Villa, how could Junior Brother have such a hard time in the villa?"

Bi Yao immediately understood the deep meaning of Zhou Yiqiao's words. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly opened, and she looked incredulous.

"Are you saying that my old master is among these people!?"

Zhou Yiqiao did not answer directly, but nodded slightly.

"No wonder..."

Bi Yao murmured to herself, seeming a little distraught.

"No wonder I have pleaded with Master several times in the past few years, hoping that he could move your residence closer to the courtyard, but he always gave me excuses."

“It turns out that the old guy is also involved!”

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao started to explain for the first time on behalf of the person who framed him.

"Junior brother, I don't know why the two sects went from being allies to being so scheming against each other."

"But Elder Qingmu is a senior executive of Qinjian Villa after all. It is not surprising that he chose to join for the benefit of Qinjian Villa."

"Having said that, this Qinjian Villa is the home ground of Master and his team after all. If you stay here all the time, you won't be able to concentrate on your cultivation."

"In this case, I think we might as well make plans early."

Bi Yao was silent for a moment, then looked up at Zhou Yiqiao and said with a firm gaze.

"I have a plan, are you willing to try it?"

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and spoke with a little hesitation.

"Senior sister has already sworn to Dao Xin, so there is no reason for me to not believe her."

Bi Yao smiled slightly, then moved closer and lowered her voice.

"The once-a-century wood-cutting fair at Qinjian Villa is about to begin."

"You also know that I am under house arrest by the old man and cannot leave this courtyard. If the time comes, I will ask you to attend the wood-cutting meeting on my behalf."

"If you get a good ranking in the wood-cutting meeting, although it cannot completely resolve the current situation, it can at least buy you some peace time."

"The wood-picking party?"

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, revealing a hint of doubt.

Biyao pursed her red lips and explained patiently.

"Since Qinjian Villa is called Qinjian Villa, in addition to swordsmanship, another major feature is music cultivation."

"The first step in the path of music practiced by my sect's disciples is to forge their own guqin."

"This wood-picking meeting is a different world that the villa purchased from Daxuantian when the sect was first established in order to help the disciples obtain the best zither body."

"This world is called the Thousand Trees World. In this world lives a race called Tree People. They have strong physical strength and rich spiritual energy in their bodies. They are the best choice for refining ancient zither materials."

"That's why Qinjian Villa spent a huge amount of resources to cultivate this Thousand Trees Realm for the disciples to use."

Hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao understood what Biyao meant.

"Senior sister, do you want me to help you enter the Thousand Tree Realm, help you hunt down suitable tree people, and forge your guqin?"

Biyao nodded slightly.

"Yes, that's it!"

Bi Yao looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a serious expression.

"As long as you win the first place in the Thousand Woods World, or obtain the best ancient wood for me to refine the body of the zither, my master will definitely stand by your side and keep you safe for the time being."

"But at the same time, I need to remind you."

"This Qianmu Realm is full of dangers. Even warriors are at risk of falling."

Biyao looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a serious look in her eyes.

"It's up to you whether to go or not."
