Beauty helps me achieve immortality

I smell... so good?

Zhao Qing raised his sleeve suspiciously and sniffed, but smelled nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Shuyue asked, "Did your husband have contact with other women today?"

Zhao Qing: ...

"I met a female cultivator in the Blood Robe Tower."

The wife took the comb, turned around and faced Zhao Qing, as if she knew everything, and said with a smile: "No way?"

"My husband's scent wasn't this strong before. It used to be the scent of gardenia, angelica, and autumn orchid. It's different from today...my husband?"

Zhao Qing fell into deep thought.

"The gardenia fragrance you mentioned should be the scent of Miss Wan'er. I mentioned it to you before."

He showed curiosity: "But when I saw this female cultivator today, I didn't smell a strong scent of fragrance. How did you smell it?"

Wang Shuyue showed a hint of pride, sitting on the bed with her pretty face in her hands: "Is it the wind?"

"You can smell the gardenia fragrance because there's wind. Miss Wan'er must have opened the window."

"And the perfume this person used today, although not that sweet, the scent on my husband's body is extremely strong..."

As my wife was talking, the gossipy look on her face was obvious without her realizing it.

She frowned and feigned anger, "The window isn't open? The door isn't open either!?"

"Master Zhao has harmed a decent woman!?"

Zhao Qing was dumbfounded, and laughed out loud at his wife's train of thought. He said helplessly, "I just inquired about the situation in the sect. Besides, you have seen that woman before, that day..."

As he was speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and his voice stopped abruptly.

Zhao Qing then realized—

I can’t say any more. Now that we have the place and the time, if I point out the person... won’t he be punished by heaven and earth?

"Husband? When?" Wang Shuyue was full of curiosity.

Zhao Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'll tell you later, but you really misunderstood. If something really happened, would your husband keep it from you?"

Wang Shuyue stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Then my husband must bring the fairy back as soon as possible."

"Shuyue is not like those wealthy families. She doesn't even have a maid as a dowry. She is bored all day long."

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly changed the subject: "When will my husband go to Shouyun Mountain again? See if he can find a fir tree and bring back a piece."

"Given my husband's calm nature, I think it would be quite good with the scent of cinnamon root and bell pepper, and some cedar foam."

The wife's voice became smaller and smaller: "Don't let the fairy look down on our family and think that Shuyue knows nothing..."

Zhao Qing just smiled, but he knew in his heart that he and that disciple were from completely different worlds.

After having dinner in the yard, Zhao Qing was pulled into the east wing by his unusually proactive wife.

The cellar was deep and empty.

The girl's cries and gasps echoed in the air.

All night long.

……

The next morning, Zhao Qing, who had not slept all night, tidied his clothes and prepared to go to the kitchen to find Wang Teng to verify the situation.

Bring some breakfast with you, Shuyue definitely won’t be able to cook this morning.

However, as soon as he arrived at the kitchen, he heard the bad news from last night.

"We just came back from the Dan Hall. I heard something big happened last night!"

"One of our inner sect brothers was ambushed by the Four Symbols Sect. When Elder Qian arrived, only half of his body was left!"

"Even my senior brother in the Foundation Establishment stage has run into trouble. I don't know how long our kitchen will last..."

Inner sect senior brother... is dead?

Zhao Qing paid close attention, walked through the crowd, and knocked on Wang Teng's door.

Soon, Wang Teng, who was dressed neatly, opened the gate and led him in.

"Qing? Tell me what you want to say quickly. I'm in a hurry."

Sensing the urgency in the other party's words, Zhao Qing realized that this was not perfunctory, but a real urgent matter...

"Brother, is your trip related to the murder of our inner sect brother?"

Wang Teng, who was sorting his storage ring, suddenly looked up and asked, "Who said that?"

Zhao Qing thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"The news has spread throughout the kitchen. Several of my junior brothers went to the Alchemy Hall this morning to collect the Qi Gathering Pills and heard about this."

Wang Teng frowned slightly and said, "Indeed, last night outside Danxia City, the patrol officer's inner sect brother was surrounded and killed."

"When Elder Qian arrived, the people from the Four Symbols Sect had already disappeared, leaving only half a corpse behind."

He suddenly thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, you've also heard of the brother who was killed. His name is Ma Zhe."

Marxist philosophy?

Isn’t Ma Zhe the senior brother who arranged for Miao Jian to patrol Xifang?

He was so cautious, so how could he run out of the city at night and be surrounded and killed?

Zhao Qing already had a vague answer in his mind.

He suppressed his doubts and asked, "So, Senior Brother, are you going to...?"

Wang Teng hesitated for a moment and patted Zhao Qing on the shoulder.

He whispered, "I think a fight is about to break out. Elder Qian was furious this morning and is already arranging for the Danxia disciples to counterattack the Four Symbols Sect."

"Brother, as the kitchen's duty officer, you have to go there as well."

Wang Teng packed up all his belongings, tidied his clothes, and prepared to go out.

"Just keep this to yourself. Don't spread it to others. It could easily cause a riot."

"You came here so early in the morning just to ask this?"

Zhao Qing nodded and saluted.

"Exactly. Junior Brother originally thought it was just a rumor, so he wanted to ask Senior Brother about it, but he didn't expect the Four Symbols Sect to be so aggressive."

"By the way, Senior Brother, do you know the current situation of Senior Brother Lü Zheng, who joined this spring?"

Wang Teng looked back in confusion.

"Lü Zheng? Junior Brother Lü Zheng has a Red Spirit Body. I guess he'll join the Alchemy Hall soon... Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Qing said, "It's nothing. Shuyue has already reached the Xiantian realm, and I don't know if she has spiritual roots. I'm just waiting to test her in the spring of next year. I asked about it today when I met my senior brother."

Wang Teng smiled helplessly.

"Qing, don't hold on to too much hope. This isn't the first day we've been practicing cultivation. Just having a mid-grade spiritual root is enough for you!"

Zhao Qing smiled apologetically, seizing the opportunity presented by Wang Teng to follow up with a question, "Junior brother, I understand, but isn't the purpose of life to fulfill a dream? Didn't you also find a top-grade spiritual root this spring?"

Wang Teng suddenly stopped.

He said seriously, "Don't mention it. That junior sister has been missing in Dancao Workshop for three months."

Zhao Qing was suddenly startled: "Missing!? Isn't that his direct disciple? Why is he going to the grass workshop?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Wang Teng frowned, walked into the yard and closed the door.

Zhao Qing followed beside him, only to see Wang Teng sigh and shake his head, and whispered, "Elder Qian has already accepted him as a personal disciple, and Senior Brother Qian is still unmarried... I guess he was thinking of putting him on the outer sect rotation so that the two of them can get to know each other in advance."

"I never thought that the junior sister disappeared as soon as she arrived at the grass workshop. Her surname seemed to be Zhou, and she was probably only at the first level of Qi Refining. I'm afraid she was abused and buried by those wild boys."

"This matter cannot be spoken casually in the sect. I don't know how many lives have been lost in the thatched house."
