Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Zhao Qing thought for a moment and then spoke solemnly.

"Zhao Qing swears that without Zhou Xiaoyi's consent, he will never reveal her whereabouts to anyone. If he breaks this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"

He realized that he must have accidentally discovered some secret.

But I didn't delve into it too deeply. This is not something we should focus on now.

A special and obscure spiritual charm coiled around Zhao Qing's chest, and the oath was fulfilled.

If you break the agreement, even if it does not trigger a disaster or curse, it will have a great impact on your practice.

The woman's expression finally relaxed, and she raised her glass to signal Zhao Qing to drink the spiritual wine with her.

"Xiaoyi's whereabouts are of no interest to the Blood Robe Building, and we have no conflict of interest with them. Please don't blame us, Senior Brother."

Zhao Qing picked up the wine glass, tapped it lightly on the corner of the table, and drank the wine in one gulp. "Junior sister, please tell me about the situation in the sect."

Zhou Xiaoyi leaned forward, supporting herself with her arms and resting lightly on the table. She asked, "Brother, do you know why the Four Elephants Sect is hunting me, Danxia?"

"Prepare for the Lanqingji that is about to be launched in Chu State." Zhao Qing responded calmly, but did not say much, just demonstrated the value of his information.

This surprised Zhou Xiaoyi a little. She glanced at Zhao Qing deeply, then unconsciously played with the spiritual ring on her slender finger. She continued, "Danxia Sect and Four Symbols Sect have jointly controlled the southwest for eighty years. Why are they suddenly attacking now?"

Zhao Qing glanced at the spiritual ring on her finger and shook his head in a confused manner: "This is also what I don't understand. I hope Junior Sister can enlighten me."

"Master Danxia is about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and has been in seclusion for three years."

"Once the Sect Leader breaks through, the situation in the southwest will be completely rewritten. That's why the Four Symbols Sect is making a desperate move, preparing to take advantage of Lan Qingji's opportunity to dominate the southwest."

"The resources in the southwest are jointly determined by all the sects in Lanqingji. From now on, even if the sect leader reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he will be unable to defeat the Four Symbols Mountain Protection Spiritual Formation. If you want to retrieve the Lingshan mineral vein, you will have to wait at least ten years."

"Ten years is enough time for the Four Elephants Sect to make other plans."

The leader of the Danxia Sect is in seclusion...

So that's how it is. The fog in Zhao Qing's mind became a little clearer.

Then he asked, "Doesn't the Danxia Sect still have two elders and more than ten inner sect brothers? Why did they allow the Four Symbols Sect to invade?"

Zhou Xiaoyi showed a meaningful smile.

"Elder Qian is in the late Jindan stage, and Elder Li has just entered the Jindan stage. All affairs within the sect are naturally in the hands of Elder Qian."

"Brother Zhao, let me ask you this: if you were Elder Qian, what would you do?"

Now?

The Four Elephants Sect has bullied us right to our doorstep, so we must be fucking...

Zhao Qing's thoughts stopped instantly and he realized something was wrong.

As a lowly servant, I must maintain the peace of the sect.

But what if it was the high and mighty elder?

He couldn't help but think of the reminder from Huanyu Pavilion...

Seeing Zhao Qing's expression change in shock, the woman showed a mocking look.

"As long as the Qian protects the sect well, he will still be an elder. But if he fails to respond properly, and the Sect Master breaks through and comes out of seclusion, won't he be blamed?"

Zhao Qing thought of something, his pupils trembling. "Junior sister, are you saying that Elder Qian will choose to surrender to the enemy and become a hero?"

Zhou Xiaoyi took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly under Zhu Zi's veil, and said, "He's not a meritorious official, he's a great meritorious official, he's the Supreme Elder!"

"Four Symbols Sect Elder Qian Hongwei has been keeping a low profile, planning for decades. He achieved his goal in one fell swoop, helping the Four Symbols Sect establish its dominance in the southwest..."

"Not only did this move completely open up the situation for the Four Symbols Sect, it also brought in many alchemists and elixirs. After the Lan Qing Ji, the Four Symbols Sect was the only one that dominated the eight southwestern counties. Even the Changsheng Sword Sect didn't dare underestimate the Four Symbols."

"With this achievement, if the Four Elephants Sect has a chance to compete with the Chu State in the future, would it be too much for Qian Hongwei to retire and become a Supreme Elder?"

The woman's cold voice instantly broke through the fog, deafening.

Bring money to join the enemy... establish the rule in the southwest... compete for the throne of Chu... retire after success!

Zhao Qing quickly grasped the interests of the matter. What the hell is the difference between this and a guide?

After a long silence, he suppressed the shock in his heart and his expression relaxed a little.

if it is like this……

That's great!

As long as it doesn't have much impact on your family, it's not a big deal.

Elder Qian took his men and ran away. It was impossible for him to put a knife to the necks of a group of servants. It had nothing to do with him at all.

As for the subsequent debate in Lanqingji and the renegotiation of southwestern resources, it had nothing to do with him.

Not to mention that there is now another escape route, the Blood Robe Building...

Zhou Xiaoyi showed a puzzled look, looking at her senior brother with a raised lip corner in front of her, not knowing what was going on.

"Senior Brother seems... very happy?"

Joy? Yes? No?

"cough."

Zhao Qing cleared his throat and said seriously, "I was just worried about my own safety. Now that I understand the situation, I can make plans early, so I naturally feel a lot more relaxed."

The woman asked curiously, "So, what are your plans, Senior Brother? Will you follow Elder Qian and rise to prominence, or will you stay at Danxia and bet on the Sect Master's breakthrough?"

What are my plans?

I have no plans.

"I, Zhao Qing, am just a kitchen helper. Such a big matter has nothing to do with me. I just want a place to stay."

"Junior sister, why do you want to stay in Danxia? Isn't it a waste of your supreme talent?"

Zhao Qing asked back.

From Zhou Xiaoyi's words, it is not difficult to see that she is definitely not on the same side as Elder Qian, otherwise why would she dismantle her own stage?

There was an inexplicable disgust in the woman's eyes, as if she had seen something disgusting.

Her voice was icy cold: "Brother, just take care of yourself."

Zhao Qing was criticized, but he didn't show any displeasure at all.

At least the current situation was much clearer, which allowed him to relax his tense nerves.

"One more thing, Junior Sister, do you know what is in Shouyun Mountain?"

Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head. "Every month, extremely pure spiritual energy escapes, causing the beast to transform into a demon for a short period of time. Perhaps it's from the tomb of a powerful being, or some other precious treasure. I'm not sure."

The woman directly put the wine glass on the table into her spiritual ring and reminded him, "Brother, don't forget the blood oath."

This is the time to see off guests.

Zhao Qing didn't ask any more questions.

He stood up consciously and put on his shoes at the door. Then he thought of something and turned around and said, "Junior Sister Zhou, I am the Alchemist's business. Please keep it confidential."

Although chaos is imminent, it would not be a big deal if my situation were known to others.

But if Zhao Qingruo didn't ask for anything, he would feel like he was missing out...

"I'm not one of those gossipy women in Caofang." Zhou Xiaoyi was a little displeased.

Who asked if your tongue is longer?

Zhao Qing closed the red lacquered wooden door he had just opened, turned around and chuckled, "I know Junior Sister is aloof and proud, so she naturally disdains to say anything nonsense. But I will keep Junior Sister's secret, so Junior Sister should also abide by the agreement for me."

He hesitated for a moment, then added, "What I mean is... we must abide by our agreement."

The woman raised her eyes slightly, gritted her teeth, and stared at Zhao Qing for a long time.

Finally, he raised his lotus-shaped arms and clasped his slender fingers across his chest. "Zhou Xiaoyi swears that she will not speak of Zhao Qing to anyone without your consent! If you break this oath, I will be shattered to pieces!"

Tsk, so cruel...

Zhao Qing left the cubicle contentedly under the other party's murderous gaze.
