There was no more excitement to watch, and after the murderous Foundation Establishment cultivator glanced at them, no one was ignorant enough to stay here, so they all dispersed. In a moment, the place returned to its former tranquility.

Tuba's face was filled with joy. He had not expected that Sister He Ling said she had been in seclusion for a period of time. He had thought that she had gained some insights, but he had actually broken through to the foundation-building stage.

He walked quickly forward and bowed to He Ling.

"Congratulations, Sister He Ling, for achieving the great path of foundation building!"

Then he looked at the place where Chu Xin was kneeling before his death with an angry look on his face.

"Sister He Ling, you don't know that during your retreat, Chu Xin was only quiet for a month or two, and then he actually came to my shop every day to ask for spirit stones to spend!"

"If I didn't give him anything, he would start hurling foul language at me, then bring up his cousin. He would make a scene in the store. I was afraid of delaying business, and it was difficult to chase him away, so I gave him the money the first time. Unexpectedly, he came back the next day, and he demanded even more spirit stones than before."

"Until today, I really can't stand it anymore. Sister He Ling, you killed him like this, it's really too easy for him!"

Looking at Tuba's resentful look, He Ling knew in her heart that Chu Xin had been making things difficult for Tuba recently. She immediately understood the whole story. It must be because Chu Changqing mentioned Tuba when he came before, and Chu Xin thought that he really had some unclear relationship with Tuba. Chu Xin was a petty and useless person, so it was no surprise that he found ways to cause trouble for Tuba.

"Okay, Tuba, the person is dead, the matter is over, there is no point in talking about anything else, just calm down and don't get caught up in this external appearance."

Tuba also knew that there was no point in saying these things now, but the anger in his heart was really hard to calm down for the time being. After exhaling two breaths of foul air in succession, he felt better.

Then he frowned again, and asked He Ling with some worry, "Sister He Ling, it's refreshing to kill Chu Xin just like that, but Chu Changqing will definitely not let it go. He's a foundation-building cultivator from the Xuanyuan Sect. Even if we have the right, we may not be able to explain it clearly. What should we do if he comes looking for us?"

He Ling sneered, "If he really comes to me, I would be more than happy to help him."

But He Ling thought about it for a moment, and then said to Tuba:

"I'm not afraid of him, but if he wants to attack you, I can protect you for a while, but I'll always be away. So, close the two shops first, give the employees some spirit stones and send them off. Go back and take Tulu, Xiaohong, and Dahei with you to hide in the inn east of Tianning Market. There are few people there, so even if you have to look for them, you'll definitely be the last to find them."

"After I finish my term at Xuanyuan Sect, I will choose another place, and then we will leave Tianningfang City."

Although He Ling said it lightly, Chu Changqing was different from Chu Xin. Although Chu Xin had some kinship with Chu Changqing, he was ultimately just a casual cultivator with the surname Chu, and had even less to do with Xuanyuan Sect. But Chu Changqing was different. He was a registered foundation-building cultivator in Xuanyuan Sect. Not to mention that He Ling's current identity was just a casual cultivator, even after she finished her term in Xuanyuan Sect, she could not openly attack Chu Changqing.

He Ling's red lips moved slightly, and the words she uttered were as small as a mosquito or a fly, "It's troublesome."

Tuba exhaled again and then nodded. He also knew the importance of the matter and did not dare to delay at this moment. He immediately gathered all the men and began to deal with related matters.

After He Ling finished instructing Tuba, he also walked towards the Xuanyuan Sect's protective formation. After all, Chu Changqing still had his own job to do. Even if he knew that his nephew had died, he could not rush over immediately. He Ling did not need to guard Tuba and the others. Besides, staying with them would increase the risk of exposure.

After walking past the preaching ground and climbing up a hill, I arrived at the Exchange Street. I didn't look at the various stalls on the roadside and walked straight to the end of the road.

When I reached the end, I saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in front of a low table. The table was quite elegant, with an incense burner, a tea table, writing brushes, inkstones, and several volumes of classics. The old man was holding a book in his hand and reading it with great interest.

He Ling had already walked closer, and he spoke, "The area ahead is the Xuanyuan Sect's territory, no one else should leave immediately."

He Ling bowed to the old man and then spoke, "Senior, I was once appreciated by an immortal. He showed me kindness and bestowed upon me a jade talisman. I have been fortunate enough to successfully establish my foundation and have come to pay my respects to the immortals of Xuanyuan Sect."

After hearing this, the old man put down the book and glanced at He Ling, "Show me the jade talisman."

He Ling followed suit and held the jade talisman with a pointed top and a low bottom in both hands and handed it to the old man. The old man raised his hand and the jade talisman fell into his hands. He blew a puff of white air at the jade talisman, and the jade talisman flashed with a bright white light.

The old man nodded and cast a magical power at the jade talisman. The jade talisman turned into a white light and rushed into the Xuanyuan Gate's formation. "The talisman is indeed true. You wait here. Someone will come to pick you up later." After saying that, the old man picked up the scroll and began to read it as if no one was around.

He Ling bowed again, then stood aside obediently and waited patiently.

The man was late, and He Ling was getting bored waiting. However, she didn't dare to move much. She just moved her eyes. She casually saw the cover of the book in the old man's hand. There were three big words on it - Spring Outing.

He Ling raised her eyebrows. She thought the old man was reading some immortal scriptures, but unexpectedly, it was a storybook circulating among mortals.

In order to quickly understand the area of Zhongzhou, He Ling had collected some biographies and stories before. He happened to read this book "Spring Outing", which roughly tells the story of a young man who was playing in the mountains in spring and happened to meet a wounded fairy deer in the mountains. After rescuing the fairy deer, a series of stories happened between him and the fairy deer.

It was considered a Liaozhai storybook of this era. She didn't expect that the old man with a white beard in front of her would be interested in this kind of storybook about love.

After taking a quick glance, He Ling's eyes turned and an idea came to her mind. She had collected quite a few rare books and magazines over the years. Not to mention Zhongzhou, she had collected quite a few books in Hezhou as well.

She turned around and clasped her fists towards the old man again, then said, "Senior, I wonder if you are reading the storybook "Spring Outing" that is circulated among the people of Wanding Yongzhou in Xuanchi Country?"

The old man put down the book and frowned as he looked at He Ling. "I was just bored, so I found a random book to read. From what you said, you seem to be very familiar with this unconventional way of doing things."

As soon as these words came out, He Ling's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she was probably flattering the wrong person this time.
