Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 230 Monitoring
Zhou Qing turned to the steward who was following him and asked, "Who are they?"

The steward smiled and said, "These are all for serving Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Qing asked, "Does each of the guest retainers we've recently recruited have this many servants?"

The steward said, "Others only have twelve servants, but Mr. Zhou and Mr. Bai have twenty-four."

Zhou Qing understood that the Li family had only recruited two Foundation Establishment cultivators, yet Li Zuowu was confident that he could surpass the other families.

It is clear that these Foundation Establishment families are not strong enough; one or two Foundation Establishment families are enough to affect the balance of power.

Zhou Qing pressed further, "Bai Qing also has twenty-four people?"

The steward said, "That's right, but Mr. Bai has returned all the women who serve him, saying that he is focused on cultivating immortality and does not covet women."

Zhou Qing sneered, "What right does the man surnamed Bai have to enjoy the same treatment as me? Tell your patriarch to gather thirty-six beautiful women to serve me."

The manager's smile froze instantly.

Zhou Qing said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and report it!"

The steward dared not delay and quickly went to report to the head of the household.

Upon receiving the report from the steward, Li Zuowu looked at Bai Qing with a wry smile and said, "This Mr. Zhou is really arrogant."

Bai Qing laughed and said, "It's inevitable for capable people to be a little arrogant. A Foundation Establishment cultivator can enjoy not only thirty-six beauties, but even three hundred and sixty. Patriarch, you don't need to worry about my thoughts. Just arrange it for him."

Li Zuowu was convinced and said, "Mr. Zhou's character is ultimately shallow and cannot compare to Mr. Bai's magnanimity."

"He lacked Mr. Bai's detachment from worldly pleasures and was ultimately unlikely to achieve anything significant."

Bai Yujing's eyes lit up, and she said, "What did you just say?"

Forehead?
Li Zuowu, unsure why Bai Qing was reacting so strongly, said, "I meant that Mr. Zhou doesn't have the same magnanimity as Mr. Bai..."

“Say your name.”

Li Zuowu looked at Bai Qing suspiciously and said, "I think Zhou Qing doesn't have the magnanimity of Mr. Bai, and he won't amount to much in the future."

That feels good...

Bai Yujing leaned back in his chair, a satisfied smile on his face.

Li Zuowu was dumbfounded, thinking to himself, "Are there not a single normal guest in my household?"
Following the master's instructions, the steward carefully selected twelve beauties to send to Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing had thirty-six girls, all only teenagers, stand in three rows. At first glance, they were all beautiful and charming, like a beauty pageant, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "Very good, now you can take them away."

what?
The steward asked, "Where are we taking them?"

Zhou Qing said, "Take them wherever you want. They are your family. Why are you asking me?"

This…this…

The manager was completely baffled this time.

Zhou Qing sneered, "Bai Qing returned twenty-four beauties to show that he is not lustful. Am I not even as good as Bai Qing?"

"Asking you to select twelve more beauties is to show my attitude, and returning them all is also to show my attitude. Just do as I say."

The manager had no choice but to take all thirty-six women, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, away.

Upon receiving the report, Li Zuowu could only shake his head helplessly, secretly sighing that this Mr. Zhou's personality was truly peculiar.

The courtyard is finally quiet.

Zhou Qing was very satisfied with his acting skills. The new personality he portrayed was very vivid, and his temperament was also well captured. No one would have guessed that he was Zhou Qing.

He intended to use the name Zhou Qing, so that no one would believe he was Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing then settled into the Li family's residence.

He spent most of his time cultivating in his own courtyard each day, and occasionally he would go to the main hall to chat with Li Zuowu and Bai Yujing.

At this point, he would try various methods to probe Bai Yujing's true intentions in coming here.

From the moment Zhou Qing entered the Li residence, he secretly competed with Bai Qing. So when he said some harsh words to entice Bai Yujing to reveal his true thoughts, no one thought it was strange. They just thought he was having another argument with Bai Qing.

However, Bai Yujing was no ordinary person. No matter how Bai Yujing tried to probe, the other party would only respond with a smile and would not reveal any of the truth.

Zhou Qing then realized that it was impossible to figure out Bai Yujing's intentions by having him say it himself, so he could only think of some unconventional methods.

He thought of placing a sound transmission array in Bai Yujing's room.

Unfortunately, Bai Yujing never left the Li residence, so he couldn't find an opportunity to make a move.

Five or six days passed. That evening, Zhou Qing was using the relay station to observe the surrounding area, hoping to find out if there were any other suspicious powerful individuals nearby.

He wasn't sure whether Bai Yujing's presence here was his own personal act or part of a secret mission for the Seven Emotions Cult.

If it's the latter, then there might be other powerful figures secretly providing support, which also indicates that what they're plotting is significant.

When he turned his gaze toward Bai Yujing's room, he suddenly saw him quietly leave his room and fly toward the Li residence.

Zhou Qing was overjoyed; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Since Bai Yujing was not at the Li residence, he secretly sneaked in and set up a sound transmission array for him.

Zhou Qing maintained the connection with the relay station.

This allowed him to monitor the movements of people in the Li household at any time, ensuring that no one would suddenly see him when he sneaked into Bai Yujing's room.

At the same time, he could also monitor Bai Yujing's whereabouts, to see where he went and who he met.

If he meets someone, he can mark that person and follow the clues to find out more about the Seven Emotions Sect.

These demonic sects are all elusive, so even though the immortal sects have repeatedly tried to eradicate them, they have not been able to completely eliminate them.

If we can accurately track their movements and even discover their base, then when he wants to strike at the demonic path one day, we can strike precisely and not give them a chance to escape.

He increasingly felt that his move to set up the relay station was a stroke of genius, and that the surveillance system provided him with an enormous advantage.

Zhou Qing successfully infiltrated Bai Yujing's room.

The room was clean and tidy, without any unnecessary clutter, and looked as if no one had ever lived there.

Zhou Qing looked around for a while, then placed the array plate in an inconspicuous corner on the roof beam.

He then carefully checked for any suspicious traces and, after confirming there were no oversights, quietly left Bai Yujing's room.

Back in his room, Zhou Qing focused all his attention on Bai Yujing's whereabouts.

He saw Bai Yujing escape from Lian Gu Town and arrive at a nearby mountain.

There were two cultivators in front of him, both of whom were only at the second level of Qi Refining.

Could this be the person Bai Yujing was meeting?

Is your cultivation level too low?

A person with such cultivation level is simply not qualified to participate in the plans of someone like Bai Yujing.

Of course, if these two people, like Zhou Qing, could fight across major realms, that would be a different story.
