After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

"I have Senior Brother Huai Che's spiritual energy here. Let me ask for you." Shui Lian'er took out a jade token and wrote a few large words in a flamboyant style.

Qin Beiyao bit his lip, trying to hold back, but couldn't help asking, "Do you... like this senior brother very much?"

Shui Lian'er waited for the other party's reply, and nodded without looking up: "Of course, Senior Brother Huai Che is handsome, powerful, and very caring. There is no one in Feixia Peak who doesn't like him."

After hearing the first half, Qin Beiyao felt like he was hit by a club in the heart. Fortunately, the second half of her sentence made him relax and his expression looked a little better.

Although he still felt something was wrong, he couldn't put his finger on it. He curled his lips, moved closer to her, and said coaxingly, "Lian'er, if I became powerful and treated you well, would you...would you like me the most?"

It happened that Xie Huaiche replied at this time. Shui Lian'er didn't hear what he said at all. She responded randomly and immediately told Jiang Liqian the time when Xie Huaiche was free.

Qin Beiyao gritted his teeth, but he didn't have the nerve to ask again...

Jiang Liqian caught Qin Beiyao's expression out of the corner of her eye and couldn't help but curl her lips.

The three of them walked together, as usual, down the mountain on the bluestone path. The breeze blew past the Qimingzhai standing behind them, and the wind blew the curtains and made the windows creak.

Shui Lian'er tightened her grip around Jiang Liqian's arm, shivering with fear for some reason. "Ah, have you heard? There seems to be a very ferocious monster suppressed under Qimingzhai. My mother said that monster has eaten hundreds of people."

"Demon beast? I heard from my senior brother that it should be a sealed ancient fairy treasure. This is also the location of the spiritual vein of Qimingzhai. The elders of Qiming Mountain are guarding here for this fairy treasure." Qin Beiyao frowned.

"No, it must be a monster. When I used to cry, my mother would always use this to scare me, saying that she would throw me into the monster's mouth to let it taste something new." Shui Lian'er insisted on her statement.

Qin Beiyao did not refute.

Anyway, as far as he knew, there were at least hundreds, if not thousands, of rumors about Qimingzhai.

Although Qimingzhai is the place where young disciples are initiated, there are many dangerous places and many rules. Disciples are not allowed to go to many places. Even in Qimingzhai itself, disciples can only play on the second and third floors. Those above are not allowed to go up. The top floor is strictly prohibited for any disciple to enter. Once discovered, they will be severely punished.

This also makes Qimingzhai always shrouded in a layer of misty white fog, which is very mysterious.

However, no matter whether there are immortal treasures or demon beasts sealed under Qimingzhai, it has nothing to do with them, the little disciples.

However, Jiang Liqian on the side frowned thoughtfully.

Could it be that this is the mysterious thing that Elder Cao is looking for?

But why did he do that?

-

The three of them went to Feixia Peak, talked with Master Hongyun for a while, and were forced to put on makeup and dress up to satisfy some of her little quirks. Then they had a feast on delicious food made by Master Hongyun herself.

It was about time, so Qin Beiyao and Jiang Liqian stood up and said goodbye.

Qin Beiyao returned to Fufeng, and Jiang Liqian went to the Discipline Hall.

Xie Huaiche had been waiting in the pavilion. Seeing her coming, he narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly: "Junior sister, have you changed your mind and are ready to join the Discipline Hall?"

Jiang Liqian was quite curious. Why was he so persistent in getting her to join the Discipline Hall?

"Of course it's because my junior sister is very capable, and - very competitive." Xie Huaiche smiled harmlessly.

Very curly?

What's the reason?

Three black lines slid down Jiang Liqian's forehead.

Ji Huaiche rolled up his sleeves, sighed, and poured himself a cup of tea to moisten his throat.

"As you know, the Discipline Hall has a lot of things to do, and recruitment is very strict. Every time, we have to work at our full capacity, and we have to do the work of ten disciples. If Junior Sister could come in, given her diligence, she would definitely be able to relieve a lot of pressure for us... For example, there was a monster riot at the foot of the mountain, injuring many villagers. The Discipline Hall disciples could only spare three disciples to check it out, and then they had to wait for the disciples from the sect to come to support them. It was really hard work."

Jiang Liqian didn't listen carefully to the other things, but she was very concerned about the monster riot.

"Brother Ji, do you know what happened to the monster riot at the foot of the mountain?"

Ji Huaiche naturally knew about this matter, and it was one of the hottest topics discussed in the Discipline Training Hall at the moment.

"The specific cause is still unknown, but according to the information we received, it seems that an unidentified object appeared in the desolate forest, causing some monsters to go crazy."

Unidentified object?

Jiang Liqian asked, "So, are there any disciples injured now?"

Ji Huaiche looked at her, laughed and put down the teacup: "Junior sister, you want to ask how Senior Sister Luo is doing now, right?"

Jiang Liqian didn't say anything, just looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

For a moment, Ji Huaiche actually felt as if he was trapped in those dark pupils. In an instant, he felt weightless and helpless, which made him panic.

He immediately looked away, stroking the rim of the lamp. His voice was gentle, yet filled with a solemnity that brooked no further questioning: "The latest situation of this mission is still confidential. Although I really want to tell you, I have been strictly ordered not to ask around."

Jiang Liqian was a little disappointed that she didn't hear any news about her third senior sister, but she understood the rules of the Discipline Hall. What cannot be said cannot be said.

She is not the kind of person who makes unreasonable demands.

Putting this matter aside, Jiang Liqian told him everything she saw in Qimingzhai, but concealed the fact that she saw Elder Cao, and only reminded him that someone might be coveting Qimingzhai, so he should be more vigilant.

Ji Huaiche's expression became much more serious, and he stopped joking with her. He took out a square wooden plaque and wrote down what she said on it. Then he muttered something silently, and the wooden plaque turned into a white light and instantly entered the Discipline Hall.

"I'm aware of this matter, and the Discipline Training Hall will handle it properly."

Jiang Li nodded slightly.

Anyway, she has already said what she saw, and what happens next is not her business. She has fulfilled her duties as a disciple of the Qiankun Sect.

She stood up and prepared to say goodbye and leave.

Just as she threw out the leaf boat, Ji Huaiche behind her suddenly called her.

Puzzled, she looked back and blinked.

"Junior sister, did you really not see who that person was?"

Jiang Liqian turned around, her voice calm.

"No."

Ji Huaiche didn't believe it, but he didn't ask any more questions.

He just lowered his voice and said, "Junior sister, please consider joining the Discipline Hall. We are very sincere."

Jiang Liqian did not answer, but got on a boat and headed straight for the peak.

A day later, the team heading to Shennong Territory gathered.

Although Jiang Liqian had no interest in going to Shennong Domain, her name was already on the list of people going, so she couldn't refuse without knowing the consequences.
