……

night.

The Xiao family held a banquet to welcome Xiao Yanqing, the young master of the family, and Lu Zhiqiu, a giant in the world of immortal cultivation who is at the peak of his career.

Yes.

Unconsciously, Lu Zhiqiu found that he had become a big boss in the eyes of everyone.

Think about it too.

Although her realm is Nascent Soul, her combat power is at the Refining Void level, so she can be treated as a Refining Void cultivator.

A cultivator of the Lianxu realm.

Looking at the entire Dingyu, it is also the top of the pyramid.

If this isn't considered a big deal, that would be really strange.

At the banquet.

The smiles of the Xiao family's top executives seemed to be glued to their faces and never disappeared for a moment.

But Xiao Yanqing and Lu Zhiqiu would not be polite to them because of this.

Everyone knew the cold words they had spoken to Xiao Yanqing back then, but they would not be erased by the passage of time.

But Xiao Yanqing was too lazy to pursue the matter.

therefore.

The meal maintained a superficial harmony, which was what the elders wanted to achieve.

They didn't dare to expect to get anything from Xiao Yanqing.

I just hope that Xiao Yanqing will rise to the top.

It would be great if we could just treat these insects like farts.

After meal.

The three of them came to Xiao Yishi's residence.

However, her residence was not the new location as speculated, but was still at the same location as two years ago.

This left Xiao Yanqing and Lu Zhiqiu a little confused.

Isn't this place open as a tourist attraction?

Xiao Yishi explained somewhat awkwardly:

"Before the opening, I did think about clearing out the old house for everyone to visit in order to have some peace and quiet."

"But then I remembered that there's an old saying that goes, 'All's fair in war.'"

"I suddenly realized what was going on. I simply renovated some of the Xiao family's outbuildings and decorated them to look like the real thing. Then I announced to the public that that was where my daughter and I used to live. No one knew it was fake anyway."

"After all, this kind of thing isn't about authenticity, it's about stories."

"I'd add annotations to every bed and mirror inside—"On a certain day in a certain year, Yanqing had a sudden enlightenment at the fourth level of physical forging before this mirror"; "On a certain day in a certain year, her mother preached on this bed, planting the seeds of her daughter's diligent cultivation." Everyone would be delighted to read."

Lu Zhiqiu couldn't help but applaud and praise

"High, really high."

Xiao Yanqing also folded his arms and snorted:

"Why didn't I see when I was little that you had the potential to be a profiteer, mother?"

Xiao Yishi chuckled, accepting the two people's evaluation of her.

then.

She changed the subject, looked at Lu Zhiqiu, and talked about another matter:

"However, although the Xiao family has developed well in recent years, it has also aroused the envy of many people."

Lu Zhiqiu raised his eyebrows and said:

"Patriarch Xiao, are you talking about those eyes in the city?"

Xiao Yishi clapped his hands and said:

"Senior Lu is worthy of being Senior Lu. He immediately knew what I was going to say."

Xiao Yanqing, who was standing by, was confused and didn't understand what the two were talking about in encrypted form.

Lu Zhiqiu had no choice but to explain:

"When we entered the city, someone was watching us the whole time, and they were working in perfect harmony. It was obvious that they were an organized group."

Xiao Yanqing was shocked:

"Why didn't I feel this kind of thing?"

Lu Zhiqiu said disdainfully:

"You were arguing with your mother at the time, so how could you pay attention to your surroundings?"

Xiao Yanqing stopped talking.

Lu Zhiqiu shook his head and continued:

"But these guys shouldn't be here just because they're jealous of the Xiao family. I think they're most likely sent by the Xuanjian Sect."

Xiao Yishi was surprised:

“How come you see?”

"I was also a member of the Xuanjian Sect before, and I am very familiar with the aura of their skills. They clearly don't have the aura of the Xuanjian Sect."

Lu Zhiqiu smiled mysteriously:

"They are indeed not from the Xuanjian Sect, but it is very likely that they are under the orders of the Xuanjian Sect."

"I'll find out when I go back and verify it."

to here.

Lu Zhiqiu kept the topic a secret and then changed the subject, starting to chat with Xiao Yishi about his experiences over the years and talking about family matters.

We chatted until late at night.

Lu Zhiqiu just came out of Xiao Yishi's yard.

She paid for it alone.

Because Xiao Yanqing was forced to stay by her mother, who used the excuse that she hadn't been with her daughter for too long and wanted to enhance the mother-daughter relationship.

Of course Lu Zhiqiu couldn't refuse.

She yawned and went to the guest room assigned to her.

Lying in bed.

She closed her eyes and her consciousness sank into the sea of ​​​​knowledge.

Draw two mirrors.

Two figures, with panic, appeared in Lu Zhiqiu's eyes.

"You two, long time no see."

She greeted with a smile.

These two people were naturally the undercover agents she recruited from the Tianhun Palace, Chun Yun and Chu Ye.

The two of them also hurriedly returned the gift to Lu Zhiqiu.

"Senior Lu summoned you late at night. Is there something wrong?"

"We haven't been in touch for over a year. Let me first understand the situation. Have you been in regular contact with the leader of the Xuanjian Sect and explained to him the necessity of the three-year agreement?"

Lu Zhiqiu chuckled.

Chunyun immediately stood up to report, after all, this was mainly his task.

"Don't worry, Senior Lu. I have always kept this matter in mind."

"I contact the leader of Xuanjian Sect every month, emphasizing to him how much importance Tianhun Hall places on the incomplete map. I also lie to him and tell him that the incomplete map is in Xiao Yanqing's hands. I tell him not to be afraid of you. As long as he can win the three-year agreement and lure Xiao Yanqing to Xuanjian Sect, he will be a great hero. The rest can be left to Tianhun Hall."

"And he doesn't have to fear your revenge. He will directly move into the Heavenly Soul Palace's small world, and the palace's resources will be tilted towards him, allowing him to practice peacefully. In the future, being invincible in the world is not a dream."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded with satisfaction.

In fact.

After Xiao Yanqing became famous in Xijitian, how could the Xuanjian Sect have the courage to continue the three-year agreement?

Lu Zhiqiu remembered.

The content of the three-year agreement was that Xiao Yanqing would duel with a disciple of Xuanjian Sect. If she won, Xuanjian Sect would never again cause trouble for her and the Xiao family. If she lost, she would have to marry a disabled son of Sun Wang, the leader of Xuanjian Sect.

This outrageous agreement was forced by the situation at the time, but now...

It is estimated that the leader of Xuanjian Sect himself has considered whether he should kowtow and admit defeat on the day of the competition, then announce that he will marry his son, and marry his son on the spot to beg for forgiveness from Lu Zhiqiu and Xiao Yanqing.

But Lu Zhiqiu would not let him go so easily.

First of all, she likes to have fun.

Secondly, she also intended to use Xuanjianmen to test Xiao Yanqing, which was an excellent practical exercise.

therefore.

Up to now, this three-year agreement was completely manipulated by Lu Zhiqiu.

Yu Xiaoyanqing.

She set a goal of taking on one sect alone, which motivated her to practice diligently and remain cautious.

Yu Xuanjianmen.

She also kept asking Chunyun to brainwash the leader of Xuanjian Sect, making him believe that everyone in Tianhun Palace was counting on his Heavenly Oath to abduct Xiao Yanqing. Even if it was only temporary, Tianhun Palace had a way to get the remaining map in Xiao Yanqing's hands. Therefore, they attached great importance to this duel and promised to protect him and reward him handsomely after the battle was accomplished.

If this gets out, I'm afraid everyone will have a new understanding of Lu Zhiqiu.

How could there be such a troublesome guy?

Especially the leader of Xuanjian Sect.

He probably never thought about all the efforts he had put in, such as working so hard to find people to support him, and even sending the invitation letter to Xu Wangling, the owner of Bailiuxing Island and Taoist Yuhai, through the descendants of the Xu family who were not related to him at all.

Behind the scenes, it was Lu Zhiqiu who was manipulating everything.

Tsk tsk.

Lu Zhiqiu herself felt that she was so sinful. How could there be such an evil person like her?

Skip this.

Lu Zhiqiu began to raise another question:

"By the way, has the leader of the Xuanjian Sect contacted you, Chunyun, recently to ask for help?"

Lu Zhiqiu was in the city today and saw quite a few secret sentries, whose aura was very similar to that of the Tianhun Palace.

Chunyun answered truthfully:

"Indeed."

"Just two months ago, he begged me to arrange for him to have a group of Qi training and foundation-building cultivators. I asked him what they were going to do, and he said they were for surveillance. So I threw a group of low-level personnel from the Heavenly Soul Palace to him."

Lu Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes and asked:

"Then you didn't ask him what he was going to do with it?"

Chunyun felt something was wrong and said cautiously:

"I asked him, and he said it was used to monitor the Xiao family. So I specifically instructed those who were monitoring them that any information they reported to the Xuanjian Sect Master must be shown to me first to ensure that it was all non-sensitive and ordinary information, so as to fool him."

Lu Zhiqiu said seriously:

"You handled it pretty well."

"But there are unusual movements in the Xuanjian Sect, and they are targeting the Xiao family. Why didn't you tell me?"

Chunyun quickly knelt down in his sea of ​​consciousness and said in panic:
