The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Putting everything else aside, just looking at the current situation, if it weren't for the business of the Chamber of Commerce and the fear of offending people, she would have ignored this disciple of a top sect in Wuzhou long ago.

After all, in business, harmony is the key to making money.

Therefore, Ji Ruxue's words were spoken with great emotion.

Doing business is so difficult these days!

Qin Xiao, from the Divine Witch Sect, didn't have time to ponder the meaning behind Ji Ruxue's words.

At this moment, Qin Xiao was sizing up the young man in front of him, trying to figure out something from him, such as... just how strong he was.

However, to Qin Xiao's disappointment, after looking him up and down for a while, he couldn't figure out anything.

This person looked like an ordinary cultivator, with a faint trace of Yuan Qi fluctuations on his body, but it wasn't very obvious.

Qin Xiao had seen this kind of situation before; such people generally didn't have very high cultivation levels.

After all, if it were truly an old monster with cultivation as profound as the vast ocean, he shouldn't be able to see anything.

It's impossible for him to be able to vaguely see something like this. If he could see everything, what kind of old monster would he be?
"This fellow Daoist must also be a friend of Miss Ruxue from Xuanzhou, right?" After a moment, Qin Xiao took the initiative to speak with a smile, appearing quite elegant.

Lu Ye looked at the person and found that he was a cultivator who had advanced to the second level.

He doesn't look very old, probably no more than forty.

With such talent, he truly deserves the title of a prodigy.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye had an answer in his mind: it must be one of Ji Ruxue's suitors...

Given Ji Ruxue's qualities, it's normal for her to have several excellent suitors.

Lu Ye didn't know what Ji Ruxue's impression of this person was. If she liked him, he didn't want to ruin her good plans for no reason, so he nodded without making a sound.

"Indeed, I've met you before, fellow Daoist. May I ask how I should address you?"

"I am Qin Xiao from the Divine Witch Sect..." Qin Xiao said in a casual tone.

As one of the top sects in Wuzhou, Qin Xiao thought that this person from Xuanzhou might not know much about other sects, but what if... he had heard of the reputation of his Divine Witch Sect?

Therefore, it is very necessary to introduce yourself.

However, Lu Ye looked puzzled after hearing this.

He hadn't had time to learn about the sects in Wuzhou yet.

To be polite, Lu Ye nodded calmly and said, "I've heard so much about you."

As expected, Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, having heard of his sect's reputation.

"I wonder what brings you to Wuzhou? If so, since you are a friend of Miss Ruxue, please feel free to tell me. I, Qin, will say no other than that I still have some influence in Wuzhou."

The expression on Qin Xiao's face seemed to indicate that he was recounting a trivial matter.

In fact, Qin Xiao was not exaggerating. As a true disciple of the Divine Witch Sect Master, he was indeed capable of achieving this.

However, he said this only to show off his status. Even if Lu Ye really asked for something, he would never actually do it for Lu Ye.

After all, when it comes to showing off, you can just pretend and that's it. You can't actually do it perfectly for someone else, can you?
Qin Xiao was very clear about this.

Ji Ruxue, who had dealt with all sorts of people all year round, also realized that Qin Xiao was just trying to show off, and couldn't help but grit her teeth.

That Qin Xiao is truly despicable.

If it weren't for the fact that her background wasn't as strong as his, Ji Ruxue would have already wanted to curse him out at this moment. What are you pretending for?

Don't you know the strength of the person in front of you?

Trying to impress him... you'd be better off calling in a high-ranking member of your sect. A mere Qin Xiao isn't good enough.

However, knowing that saying this would create enmity between the Baichuan Chamber of Commerce and the Shenwu Sect, Ji Ruxue could only curse inwardly.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ye seemed not to realize that Qin Xiao was just trying to show off. He raised an eyebrow and said...

"Oh? If that's the case, I do have a small matter that I need Fellow Daoist Qin to help me with."

Upon hearing this, the smile that had just formed on Qin Xiao's face immediately froze.

No, he actually dared to say that?
Can't he tell that this is just polite talk?

But since they've already said that, it would be embarrassing for Qin Xiao to refuse them outright.

So, a smile reappeared on Qin Xiao's face, and he asked, "Oh? What is it? Why don't you tell me? If it's convenient, I certainly won't be stingy."

"I'm a little curious, why are the Seven Star Stone Tablets in other states located in prosperous cities, but the Seven Star Stone Tablet in Wuzhou is located in Wuyuan City instead of Wusheng City?"

Upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, Lu Ye immediately smiled and asked.

This was indeed a question that had been bothering him. Now that Qin Xiao was here, perhaps he knew some inside information...

Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao's expression changed drastically the moment he heard the question.

The way they looked at Lu Ye changed completely; it was as if they were looking at a terrifying plague god.

"Fellow Daoist, there are some things that shouldn't be asked, so it's best not to ask them!"

After saying that, Qin Xiao didn't care about Ji Ruxue in front of him anymore and simply said, "I have something to do, goodbye..."

Then he left in a hurry.

It seemed like something terrifying was behind them, and if they were slowed down, it would catch up.

Lu Ye: "??"

No, is this problem really that powerful?

Lu Ye could tell that Qin Xiao had genuinely panicked just a moment ago; there was no faking it.

Isn't he a true disciple of some top sect?
Logically speaking, his status is not low, so why is this happening?
Or is there some hidden truth here that even his identity cannot be touched upon?

If that were the case, Lu Ye became even more curious.

Ji Ruxue was stunned as she watched Qin Xiao leave in a hurry.

No, I've been talking for so long, but I still can't get him to leave on his own...

Lu Ye has only been here for two minutes, and he actually... ran away? Is this a case of one thing subduing another?!

"Thank you for helping me out of that predicament, young master." Coming to her senses, Ji Ruxue quickly thanked Lu Ye in front of her.

"Actually, it's not really about helping you out of a tight spot. I genuinely want to know the answer to this question, but unfortunately, that Young Master Qin won't tell me," Lu Ye said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.

Ji Ruxue: “…”

At this point, anyone else would have already taken the credit.

Only Chen Beixuan could actually say such a thing.

It is indeed somewhat different from others.

Ji Ruxue looked at Lu Ye, a strange light flashing in her eyes... (End of Chapter)
