After returning to the room, a figure appeared behind the screen. As expected, Green Radish had returned to the room.

"Qingqing, you're back?" Luoluo stood up to greet her with a smile.

"I'm back. It was you who made me so worried." Seeing the intact green ivy, Lin Qingqing's face became much gentler. She took her hand and sat down at the round table. "You missed the time we agreed to meet. Did something happen?"

Luoluo smiled sheepishly and explained, "I originally wanted to find someone to pass on the message for me, but I didn't expect that he was not reliable at all. He took the spirit stone and ran away. I am really sorry for making Qingqing so worried."

Then, Lin Qingqing saw Luluo take out a small bottle of transparent water-like substance from her long sleeves and said, "I didn't expect that there was a material unique to the Valley Forest on the list of materials given by Elder Murong. The pharmacy in Baiyuan City happened to be sold out. I had to go there in person. I'm really sorry that I couldn't explain the situation to you in time."

Lin Qingqing took the bottle and looked at it left and right, but couldn't see anything. She asked her curiously, "What is this?"

"The dew condensed on the leaves of a special plant, only the dew that liquefies in the evening every day has special effects, also known as Guiyu Dew."

Lin Qingqing nodded as if she understood, then breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "I see. I thought you were in some trouble and was delayed, so I went out to look for you."

"Ah..." At this time, Luluo remembered that Lin Qingqing came down the mountain in white clothes, and saw that she was now wearing a red coat and looked a little nervous, so she asked, "Qingqing, you haven't been to the black market in Baiyuan City to look for me, right?"

Lin Qingqing noticed that her expression was different, and quickly shook her head and said, "No, but I was just about to go, and you just happened to come back, so I didn't go."

"That's really lucky." Luoluo looked as if she was still frightened.

"How to say?"

Luoluo straightened her body and slowly introduced the rules of the black market to her.

"The black market in Baiyuan City is not accessible to ordinary people. Even if you are lucky enough to get in, you may not be able to return safely. This is why we have to mention the legendary black market rules."

"Is the black market really so evil? After hearing what you said, I must go and take a look." Lin Qingqing became very interested in the black market. She stood up and looked like she was going to set off immediately, but Luluo tried her best to stop her.

"Don't worry, listen to me. Legend has it that there are ten rules for the black market: one is that cultivators without golden elixir strength are not allowed to enter easily; two is that those wearing red clothes are not allowed to enter; three is that those who are not wearing masks are not allowed to enter at 3:30 in the middle of the night; four is that those who are not wearing masks are not allowed to enter..."

"Wait, you're speaking too fast..."

Lin Qingqing suddenly interrupted Luoluo. Although it was very presumptuous, Luoluo didn't care at all and signaled Lin Qingqing to ask questions at any time.

"The second point you mentioned just now was that people wearing red clothes are not allowed to enter. Why is that?" Lin Qingqing asked the question in her mind.

"I heard that those who wore red clothes to go to the black market all died on the day they came back," Luoluo said seriously, "Luckily Qingqing didn't go, otherwise I really don't know how to explain to Elder Murong and Senior Brother."

Lin Qingqing also felt a lingering fear after hearing this. It was not the first time she had heard about the strangeness of the black market, but it was the first time she heard that people wearing red clothes could not enter. She was extremely curious.

But what does this have to do with Senior Brother Rong Zhao? Why should she explain her life and death to him? She immediately widened her eyes and looked at Luoluo, as if she wanted to poke a hole in her body. Could it be that everything that happened between her and Rong Zhao in the house just now was heard by Luoluo outside the door?

"What's wrong, Qingqing?" Luoluo felt frightened by the look in her eyes and couldn't help but want to stay away from her.

At this time, Luluo did not realize that she had just let the cat out of the bag. In her subconscious, she regarded Young Master Rong Zhao as her biological brother, and Lin Qingqing was naturally regarded as her future sister-in-law, so she accidentally mentioned the eldest senior brother.

Lin Qingqing carefully observed Luoluo's every move. Seeing that she was no different from usual, she could not help but put aside her doubts and tried to divert her attention, bringing the topic back to the black market.

"Nothing. Do you know the reason behind this?"

Green Radish shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, but this is a new rule that has only been circulated recently."

"Is it because the common points of the deceased are that they all wore red clothes, went to the black market, and died violent deaths?"

"There is such a saying. As for how it spread, there is no accurate explanation yet, but it is best to abide by the rules of the black market."

Lin Qingqing nodded carefully. It seemed that she didn't have to go to a place like the black market. At least she had to wait until she met the requirements of the first rule. It was a bit early to think about it now.

The two of them chatted happily all night, but in the middle of the conversation, Luluo asked why she suddenly changed her coat, which left Lin Qingqing speechless for a moment. Then she found a few reasonable excuses to get away with it, and there was no other disappointing thing.

Hearing this, Luoluo looked at her with a slightly strange look, but nothing else was unusual.

The next day, the two returned with a full load.

On the way back to Tianjian Sect, Lin Qingqing met the person she least wanted to see at the moment.

"Big Brother, I'm fine!" Luoluo, who was standing beside her, was in sharp contrast to Lin Qingqing. It seemed that Luoluo was too happy. Could it be that she was also a Rongchui?

Rong Zhao was a little unhappy when he saw Lin Qingqing was just in a daze and didn't say hello to him. He asked with a straight face, "Junior Sister, you don't seem happy to see me?"

You have some self-awareness, Lin Qingqing complained silently in her heart, but she didn't say anything honest. She forced a fake smile and replied to him: "How could it be? Senior Brother, I am almost smiling like a flower when I see you."

Rong Zhao suddenly reached out and pinched her cheek. She immediately cried out in pain: "What are you doing, Senior Brother!"

"It's okay to feel pain. It'll teach you a lesson. Please be more serious when you pretend to smile next time." After saying that, Rong Zhao led his group away on his sword.

Lin Qingqing covered her left cheek with her hands in grievance, thinking indignantly in her heart, "Damn Rong Zhao, wait until I refine the elixir and let you be my guinea pig every day!"

"Qingqing, are you okay?" Luluo looked at Lin Qingqing's slightly red face, and felt a little distressed. How could the young master not know how to be gentle and kind to women? Look how Qingqing was hurt!
