Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

This action confused the people on both ends of the barrier. Even the black-robed thugs who had arrived at the other side of the barrier were hesitating whether to invite this "immortal" in first.

And the ordinary people in the rear were also wondering when such a down-to-earth immortal had arrived.

Chapter 48 Immortal

However, Ye Qing was still sitting there calmly. She looked at the people around her who were watching, without being moved at all.

She was not even afraid of being exposed in front of the Black Crow Gang's spies, and even looked over there openly.

The Black Crow Gang's spy suddenly hid back, his heart pounding.

"How on earth did she find out?!"

I had followed her for so long and even chose a perfect location to hide, so how could she have found me?

Ever since Dick took his men away, this spy has been lying in ambush beside Ye Qing and the others, responsible for keeping an eye on their movements.

As a result, Ye Qing left the mansion not long after his boss left, which made the spy a little nervous. He didn't expect that things would develop in a bad direction.

What should I do? Should I report it to the boss immediately or continue watching?

Ye Qing naturally didn't know about the spy's dilemma. She just smiled softly, not taking the surveillance seriously, nor worrying about causing Dick's misunderstanding.

The black-robed thug quickly returned to the front of the barrier in less than five minutes.

Is it a teleportation array, or is it that the immortal does not live in a place far away from human habitation?

With such doubts in mind, Ye Qing stood up.

The black-robed thug seemed to have received instructions from the immortal. His attitude towards Ye Qing became much more respectful, and he saluted Ye Qing solemnly.

But he obviously didn't use this kind of etiquette very often, and it looked quite awkward.

"Sir, the Immortal wants to see you, but I don't know your name."

Hearing this, the thugs around couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It has always been others who have been waiting for this great immortal, but this time, someone came to visit and was invited in directly.

Many people began to speculate about Ye Qing's identity, but in Ye Qing's opinion, this matter might not be that complicated. She probably also guessed what the immortal was planning.

"Just call me Qing. Is your Immortal Master not far away?"

As the men in black robes opened a hole in the barrier, Ye Qing walked straight into the area covered by the barrier.

The moment you enter, three positive buffs will appear directly in the status bar.

Quick recovery, faster casting, faster attack, this is quite interesting.

Ye Qing smiled. The magic circle maintained a bonus effect of at least 30%. Could it be that he was facing a late-stage "leader-level" boss?

The possibility is not high, so the high probability is that there are some treasures in this place itself.

I think most ordinary players would be able to associate this effect with this relationship, so it was really a coincidence for me.

"Master Qing, this is not convenient to say... Please come with us."

The black-robed thug was a little hesitant, perhaps because the immortal had not explained this matter, so he didn't know how to answer.

The three people who had livid faces at the edge of the barrier just now were now obviously much more restrained, and they didn't even dare to look back while walking in front and leading the way.

Perhaps because they had already regarded Ye Qing as the same immortal, these thugs did not dare to offend him, but did not know how to please him.

As they walked into the isolated street, Ye Qing gradually saw the people living there.

The hustle and bustle is no different from the outside world.

It was as if the streets outside the barrier were moved directly in. The people living here were not affected at all, and the street vendors set up their stalls as usual.

However, what they sell is obviously not ordinary. Just by looking from the player's perspective, one can see that the lights representing rarity are overlapping.

Among these lights, there is basically no light lower than the epic purple light.

"Where do the people here get their daily necessities from?"

Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a little curious. Isolating an area like this was almost like occupying the city and becoming the king.

No matter how powerful the immortal cultivators are, as long as they are smart, they should know that they cannot go against the royal family.

But the city lord still lets them control this place. Ye Qing doesn't believe that there is no connection between the two parties.

"My Lord, this..."

The black-robed thug secretly groaned in his heart. What he feared was exactly what happened. He was worried that Ye Qing would ask about the operating conditions here.

As a result, Ye Qing not only asked, but also hit the nail on the head with just one sentence.

He didn't know whether to answer or not, and he didn't know what to say if he answered.

"Is this the Immortal Qing Shang?"

Just when the black-robed thug was at a loss, a gentle voice came from the front.

I saw a young man in a gray shirt walking out from the corner of the street, holding a folding fan in his hand and with a bun on his head, looking like a hermit.

The thugs leading the way around hurriedly knelt down with their hands clasped, and shouted in unison.

"Master Immortal!"

"Okay, you guys go back first and do what you need to do."

After hearing the gray-shirted young man's words, the black-robed thugs saluted repeatedly as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders, and then quickly left the place.

The young man in gray in front of him was the immortal who supported this gang.

He waved his hand, signaling Ye Qing to follow him.

The two continued to walk slowly forward. The young man in gray shirt obviously wanted to take Ye Qing around the entire barrier.

With the young man in gray leading the way, the thugs around him all saluted respectfully, and there was a hint of fear in their eyes when they looked at Ye Qing.

"I haven't asked you yet, this Immortal..."

"Hey, there's no need to use the word 'Shangxian'. Just call me Lao Li. I guess Lord Qing is not just an ordinary person."

The young man who called himself Lao Li smiled and tapped the folding fan in his hand lightly. He looked like a storyteller walking out of a teahouse, except that he was holding a flag beside him.

Seeing his look, Ye Qing no longer insisted on calling him that, but just asked calmly.

"In that case, I wonder why you let me in, Mr. Li?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Li stopped walking.

The two stopped in front of a store on the street and could hear the slightly noisy sounds coming from inside.

This sudden action made the thugs around alert and ready to attack at any time, but Ye Qing himself did not take them seriously.

Lao Li waved his hands around him, as if making a "driving away" gesture, and then used his folding fan to lift the curtain in front of the shop next to him.

"Well...why don't we have a cup of tea first and talk slowly?"

Hey, he's a person with personality.

Ye Qing smiled unconsciously. She hadn't seen such an interesting NPC for a long time.

She nodded, not worrying that there might be a Hongmen Banquet in the teahouse, and walked straight in.

"Here comes the guest. Hey, Master Immortal, are you still sitting in the same seat today?"

After the two men walked into the teahouse, the shopkeeper quickly came over to greet them, but his face did not have the same fearful look as the thugs.

This made Ye Qing curious about how Lao Li treated those black-robed thugs and ordinary people.

"It's okay, just find us an empty table and don't disturb other guests."

Lao Li smiled and shook his head. He waved the folding fan in his hand, and the details of his facial features changed slightly.

If there is any difference between him now and before, it is probably that he is even more inconspicuous.

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and then took the two of them to a seat closer to the inside.

The two of them didn't care about anything, and Ye Qing had no feminine reserve at all. She sat down at the other end of the tea table in a casual manner.

While waiting for the store to serve tea, Lao Li spoke first.

"If I'm not mistaken, the people entrusted by the leader of the Black Crow Gang should be you and your companions."

"exactly."

Ye Qing nodded. It was almost as she guessed. This "immortal" also knew that Dick had gone to entrust them with the task.

Ye Qing had felt somewhat strange about the previous meeting with Dick. It was ok that the gang leader personally brought people to his house, but he even did not hide his whereabouts when he left.

It was as if Dick didn't care about being exposed at all, and even wanted to let others know on purpose.

Lao Li seemed to have guessed Ye Qing's thoughts. He kept tapping the folding fan in his hand and said to Ye Qing with a smile.

"The new leader of the Black Crow Gang is really capable. On the one hand, he uses a knife to kill someone, and on the other hand, he wants to do me a favor. In the end, no matter who wins or loses among us, the Black Crow Gang will get a big advantage."

Before he finished speaking, the shopkeeper served tea to the two of them.

Different from Miss Yun’s previous tea which could be called a rare consumable, the tea soup in front of him was just ordinary tea.

But Lao Li drank it with gusto as if it were nectar.

"I just have a few small questions. I wonder if Mr. Li can answer them?"

Ye Qing did not immediately confirm Lao Li's statement. He just picked up the tea and took a closer look at it. He did not drink it in big gulps like Lao Li.

After all, it was still in the "enemy" territory, so there was no way Ye Qing could drink this stuff with confidence.

After all, her detection spell could not be as high as that of life players. Naturally, she could not detect some higher-level poisons and could only rely on experience to judge.

"please say."

Lao Li put down the tea bowl in his hand and nodded to Ye Qing.

"You have marked out such an area in this city, but the city lord didn't come to cause trouble for you?"

Before coming in, Ye Qing had roughly explored it. This barrier covers an area surrounded by about four streets in the city. Outside of this area there are streets controlled by this gang.

Furthermore, the outside and inside of the barrier seemed to form a perfect cycle, and it could almost be said that it was a world of its own.

As the city lord, how brave he must be to not take this matter seriously?

"Well... I think Lord Qing is pretending to be confused. If you want to know how my little world is kept running, just tell me directly."

Lao Li smiled, picked up the teapot beside him and began to add water to the bowl.

He didn't seem to mind such questions, and he even pointed them out quite decisively.

"Aren't you worried? You're taking the initiative to expose your situation."

Chapter 49 Everyone has their own agenda

"Don't worry, what is there to worry about?"

Lao Li smiled, the water in the tea bowl was filled, and he looked at Ye Qing calmly.

Don't worry...

Either he doesn't care at all, and whether the people here live or die has nothing to do with him, or he really doesn't care about the consequences of leaking the information.

I'm afraid the strength of this immortal is not just derived from this small world.

Of course, Ye Qing would not scare himself. Unconfirmed things can only be used as a reference at most. If he really regards it as the other party's trump card, he will be asking for trouble.

"I think Lord Qing is also very curious. I only occupy four streets. If you count the scattered soldiers outside, I can only occupy less than one-fifth of the city. How can I be self-sufficient and challenge the city lord?"

The tapping of the folding fan by Lao Li gradually stopped, and his eyes, which had always been smiling, slowly opened at this moment.

He reached out his hand, dipped it in the tea, and wrote a word on the table.

Immortal

It was just a simple word, but it made Ye Qing frown immediately.

This word can refer to too many things, such as allowing those thugs to have strength close to that of immortal cultivators, or producing the magical weapons of immortal cultivators. These are enough to affect the balance of power between the two sides.

But soon, Lao Li explained what this word meant.

He slowly raised his right hand, and the fingertips that had just been dipped in tea pointed above his head.

"I wonder if Lord Qing knows about the heavenly world that the immortal cultivators yearn for?"
