Holding the space chat group, the cannon fodder female supporting role ascended

Chapter 1225 No Clues
With a single sentence, Qianji Ghost King shifted all the blame. Based on her understanding of Baili Yanque, if there were sufficient evidence, the other party would have come to arrest her long ago, and would not have sent two juniors to test her attitude. Therefore, she showed no guilty conscience at all.

Anyway, Yunrongfang has nothing to do with her. It was that idiot Qian Sidu who used her name to secretly support Yunrongfang and profit from it. Now that there's a problem, he's dumped the mess on her. She won't care. Not only will she ignore it, she'll also shift the blame back to her.

So when he saw that the female ghost in front of him didn't respond, he propped his chin up and said:
"Alright, since you've come here, you must have come with a mission. I won't make things difficult for you. I also need to give Baili Yanque some face. Go to the City Lord's Mansion and find Qian Sidu. He's been handling all the affairs of the mansion while I was in seclusion. He should know more about some things than I do."

After hearing this, Di Fei blinked her charming eyes, smiled, and cupped her hands in a respectful gesture:
"In that case, Honglan will not disturb Lord Ghost King's peace."

The two then left the council hall, and Yunxi remained silent throughout. Only after stepping out of the residence did she ask her first question:
"Honglan, did we see a clone of the Thousand-Princess Ghost King?"

Di Fei nodded and said:
"Yes, the Golden Cup and Silver Cup are about to open. I think Lady Qianji will not choose to leave at this critical moment. Sending an avatar into the city is also to support her disciple Qian Sujin, after all, Sujin is her only junior."

Yunxi felt something was off. She was quite certain that when Qian Sujin was mentioned earlier, the killing intent in the other woman's eyes seemed genuine. To repay the favor of the "Immortal Aura" senior, she had fought against the insect race for ten years and was extremely sensitive to killing intent.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to return from the battlefield unscathed, because while annihilating the Zerg, she also had to be constantly on guard against her comrades being controlled by the Zerg and turning against her.

Now, after hearing Di Fei's words, she felt even more that there was something fishy going on. Perhaps the Ghost King Qian Ji didn't value this only disciple and junior as much as she thought, and might even want to get rid of her as soon as possible, but she didn't make a move. She couldn't guess the reason why she didn't make a move.

After all, Qian Ji is a Ghost King, second only to the Ghost Emperor of the Demon Realm. She can be said to be a top existence in the Ghost Realm and even the entire Immortal Realm. Yun Xi does not think there is anyone that this big shot wants to kill but cannot.

It seems there must be a reason why the Demon King Senhime cannot make a move, so she has to compromise for the time being. What she needs to do now is to find out the reason.

After seeing Yunxi fall into deep thought after asking the question, Difei slowed down her pace and did not disturb Yunxi's thinking.

About fifteen minutes later, Yunxi turned to look at Difei and took her hand, saying:
"I noticed that Ghost King Qianji isn't in a good mood today, and since Qian Sujin's wedding ceremony is in a few days, it would be best if we didn't go looking for trouble now. Instead, we could stroll around Shuiqian City first, and then ask City Lord Qian about Yunrongfang after the ceremony. What do you think?"

Di Fei didn't know what Yun Xi meant by that, but since they weren't far from the Thousand Princess Ghost King's residence, she went along with Yun Xi's words:
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Anyway, we were just delivering a message, and we've already done so, so we've completed half of the mission. We won't insist on the rest."

"Since the other party is the Ghost King, and our strength is limited, let's not risk our lives for a mission. We've only just become partners."

After speaking, she even revealed a shy and charming smile at the right moment, which made Yunxi sigh that the other party was really good at acting. Her eye for choosing a partner was as good as ever.

The two then went to explore the Water City together. Qianji Ghost King, who had peeked out with her divine sense to listen to their conversation, closed her eyes in disappointment. When she opened them again, her light green eyes had become much deeper, and the killing intent within them was almost tangible.

Yunxi and Difei explored most of Shuiqian City that day, visiting places that the little devil had recommended.

At Yunxi's prompting, Difei would browse through every shop she entered. If she saw something that caught her eye, she'd give Yunxi a flirty look, and Yunxi would immediately hand over her soul stones, acting very proactively. It was as if she was determined to ensure her Daoist partner bought something to her liking and was happy with the purchase, completely disregarding how many soul stones it cost.

This led to all the shop owners on the street treating the two as honored guests, wishing they could live in their shops. They recommended all the good stuff, because only by selling their products could they earn Soul Stones.

Because Yunxi was so quick to collect soul stones, Difei ended up buying so much that she couldn't stop herself. It was Yunxi who reminded her:
"Honglan, it's getting late, we should head back. If you'd like to go sightseeing, we can leave earlier tomorrow."

Di Fei reluctantly put down the Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin in her hand:

"Okay, I'll do as you say. We'll come again tomorrow."

Yunxi turned to the plump boss beside her and said:
"Please include this Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin as well."

The fat boss's eyes were practically closed with laughter; he had never seen such a generous customer before. He immediately called out a number.

Yunxi didn't haggle at all, paid for the soul stones directly, and casually stuck the Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin into Difei's hair bun so she could see for herself. Difei happily drew a water mirror to look at herself and became even more satisfied.

The chubby boss standing to the side kept saying nice things without asking for soul stones:

"The fairy has excellent taste. This Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin was crafted by a special weapon-refining master. All the soul weapons crafted in the same batch were sent to the City Lord's Mansion. It was custom-made by City Lord Qian for his daughter. This is the only batch. That weapon-refining master will never craft the same type of soul weapon again."

Hearing this, Yunxi became interested, but she pretended to frown and said with some displeasure:
“Boss Pang, from what you’re saying, this Eight Treasures Lotus Soul Hairpin is the one the city lord didn’t want? Then we don’t need it, and I’ll have a new one made for my wife.”

Upon hearing this, Boss Pang immediately slapped his own mouth, intending to say something flattering, but it would only lead to misunderstanding.

Di Fei, standing to the side, rolled her eyes, her pretty face darkening. She obediently removed the eight-treasure lotus hairpin from her black hair and said angrily:
"Boss Pang, who are you looking down on?"

Boss Pang immediately bowed and apologized. He couldn't just watch the soul stone he had almost obtained slip away, so he said with a forced smile:
"Please don't be angry, both of you. It was I who didn't explain things clearly. Lord Qian specially commissioned a complete set of soul artifacts from my family as a gift for his daughter's marriage ceremony. The materials for refining the soul artifacts were also provided by the Lord's Mansion."

The weapon refiners employed by my shop are among the most renowned in the entire Ghost Realm. I wanted to take advantage of the city lord's daughter's marriage to make more business, so I sent over the precious weapon refining materials I had collected in the shop.

When selling them, I'll say they were made in the same batch, but they have absolutely nothing to do with the City Lord's Mansion. Furthermore, because I collected better refining materials, the resulting soul weapons are of a higher grade; they're definitely not leftovers.
