"Just what?"

"It would be great if she was half as gentle as your senior sister."

Li Qianshan shook his head and sighed.

Xu Qingyan was a little amused. Gentle? Then you didn't provoke her.

Ask Chen Jiurang if Bai Yingluo is a gentle woman?

Of course Xu Qingyan didn't say this, he just asked while accompanying Li Qianshan to the other party's temporary residence.

"By the way, who exactly is your Saint Lady and what is her life story?"

Li Qianshan immediately looked at Xu Qingyan with caution.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to get information about our Saint Lady? Do you have any other plans?"

"God damn it. She asked me to talk to her. How can I convince her if I don't know anything about her?"

Li Qianshan pondered for a moment, then looked at the boy's face with strange eyes.

Xu Qingyan felt a little scared when he saw this.

Could it be that this strange young man doesn't have any junior sister, but has some idea about himself?

No, this world can be a little bit outrageous, but it can't, at least it shouldn't...

"You look pretty good, almost as handsome and charming as me. Why don't you try to seduce her? Anyway, I have never seen her treat any man specially so far. Maybe she is used to all kinds of delicacies, so how can a little vegetable like you stand a chance?"

"Open your dog eyes and see what a small wild vegetable is. This appearance is outstanding among your Beixuanzhou brothers. Now you look like a pig, so don't brag about it, okay?"

"Damn it! Why did I become like this? No, I have to beat you up, otherwise I won't be able to relieve the hatred in my heart."

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

Xu Qingyan thought this person was interesting, and it might be fun to chat with him when he had nothing to do.

But now is not the right time, he has more urgent things to deal with.

"Hmm..." Li Qianshan thought for a moment, then whispered.

"In the entire Jitian Palace, no one knows the real name of our Saint except the Palace Master. We only know that her last name is Yun. When someone mentions Miss Yun in Jitian Palace, it must be the Saint."

"cloud?"

Wait.

Yun... This not-so-common surname sounds familiar to me.

Strangely familiar.

Although Yun was definitely not uncommon in the world of cultivating immortals, he always felt that he had never seen it on TV or in any novel.

It's really heard with the ears.

But it's a little vague and I can't remember what it is.

Could it be related to my past life? Some hidden clue that I overlooked? Or an inconspicuous side story?

But it must have nothing to do with the so-called original owner, 'Xu Qingyan'.

Whether in the original work or in the life story of this young man, there is no woman with this surname who is closely related to him.

It could only be related to my past life experience.

Li Qianshan nodded, "That's right. Then... Speaking of her coming to Jitian Palace, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard from the elders. She seemed to be very young... It seemed that she found Jitian Palace alone when other children couldn't lift swords or climb mountains. Many elders thought she was a little beggar from nowhere and were ready to give her some food to send her away."

"But I didn't expect that she would actually ask to see the Palace Master. What was even more unexpected was that for some reason the Palace Master actually came out of seclusion to see her. It was said that the Palace Master and the Saint Lady, who was still a child, talked for a long time. Later news came that she became the Palace Master's closed disciple."

"Wouldn't she become a saint directly?"

Xu Qingyan frowned.

Li Qianshan shook his head.

"She became a saint when she was eighteen years old. At that time, something happened in Jitian Palace. An elder who had held power for a long time took advantage of the palace master's retreat and deliberately rebelled to seize power, but guess what? He was just a few elders close to him who had secretly contacted him the night before. The next day, before he even stepped out of the door, he was surrounded by the saint and many elders. After that incident, she became a saint, and from that time on, she no longer often showed up in public."

Xu Qingyan took a breath of cold air.

"Why did you come here if you don't want to show up in public? And to such a faraway place like Donghai Island."

Li Qianshan said in confusion, "I don't know either. Anyway, I was getting along well with my junior sister, traveling, fishing, and barbecuing... Suddenly one day my master found me and said that the Saint Lady was going to travel around the six states and had chosen me as one of the accompanying personnel. Then we walked along the way and finally came here."

Xu Qingyan narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Qianshan.

"Then you arrived at Donghaizhou and met our clan leader and his group?"

Li Qianshan nodded, "That's about it."

"But isn't it strange? Logically speaking, as long as they knew that this was a dispute between the Eighteen Sword Sects and the Luming Sect, how could a normal person, who is not familiar with Donghaizhou at all, rashly go up to say hello, or even arrange a marriage for you?"

Li Qianshan touched his chin.

"I find it strange, too, but we have no right to question the Saint's decision. I only know that this matter was quickly finalized."

"Did she go out of her way to see my master?"

"Who is your master?"

"Lin Yan."

"Oh, I have met her, but we didn't talk. I just took a look, and then your master suddenly jumped out and said that if I wanted to discuss my marriage, she had a person to recommend."

Hear it here.

Xu Qingyan seemed to have thought of something immediately.

Something is wrong.

No matter how obsessed Lin Yan is with herself, no matter how paranoid she is, she will never do such an irresponsible thing, at least not now.

The person who just met, who claimed to be the Saint of Jitian Palace, was going to send her most proud disciple Bai Yingluo to Jitian Palace? Even if she had this intention, it would not be so fast. And Li Qianshan said that they had not talked to each other, so there was only one possibility.

It was that saint who used the secret sound transmission.

Guiding...or even threatening Lin Yan made this suggestion.

Of course, it could just be a negotiation.

This is not certain yet, but what is certain is another terrible possibility.

When she met Song Xiyan, Lin Yan and others, she had already decided to do this.

"Has it been true that you have never mentioned your marriage before?"

Li Qianshan shook his head, "No, I didn't mention it before I met your master and your sect leader."

"That's it."

"What is it?"

"nothing..."

Xu Qingyan shook his head in confusion.

His mind was clear at this moment, but this clarity made him feel painful, even tormented.

Because the words that the other party helped to confirm meant that the Saint Lady who was always masked had come to Donghaizhou with a purpose. If she had not happened to meet Song Xiyan and Lin Yan, she would probably have come directly to the Eighteen Sword Sect to mention this matter.

The target is still Bai Yingluo, regardless of whether Lin Yan would make this suggestion or not.

So she came here with a purpose very early on.

But why would a Saint Lady who lived far away in the Jitian Palace in Beixuanzhou and rarely showed up in public choose a boy she had never seen and had never even heard of as her target?

The only possibility that Xu Qingyan could think of now, after ruling out all the impossible answers, was...

Even if you don't dare to believe it, you can't help but think about it, maybe it's the truth.

That Saint Lady...remember yourself.

But I ignored her.

“It’s almost here.”

Li Qianshan stopped.

Xu Qingyan raised his head and saw the courtyard quietly located not far away from him.

It is quiet, surrounded by green trees, fresh and elegant.

But in Xu Qingyan's eyes, he was no different from a man-eating monster.

"it is good."

Xu Qingyan was about to walk away. He actually wanted to turn around and leave. He wanted to think things through. He really wanted to escape from the terrifying unknown.

But he also knew that if he just ran away from the danger right in front of him... his ending would not be any better than his previous life.

"Wait a moment."

Li Qianshan called the young man.

"What's wrong?"

Li Qianshan hesitated, then sighed.

"Well, as long as you convince our Saint, I will owe you a favor. When you have the chance to come to Beixuanzhou, I will help you unconditionally if you have any difficulties."

This man's favor still has some value, especially since I am so isolated and helpless.

It's just that these don't seem that important right now.

Xu Qingyan smiled.

"It's all for myself and my senior sister, no need to be so polite."

Li Qianshan shook his head.

"Let's put it this way. Everyone has to consider their own interests when doing anything, I know that very well. But after all, you helped me and my junior sister. I can't just pretend that it never happened."

Xu Qingyan sighed and nodded.

"I understand. But... I am very curious, what kind of person is your junior sister to make you so devoted to her?"

Li Qianshan's embarrassed face revealed a dreamy smile.

"My junior sister... She is the best woman in the world, no words can describe her... No, why are you asking this? Don't think I will let you meet my junior sister when you go to Beixuanzhou. You have a face like this and love to seduce women. Don't think I don't know!"

"...I'm in."

Xu Qingyan walked towards the courtyard, while Li Qianshan stopped where he was, looking around with worry and hesitation.

It was not until the figure of the young man disappeared from his sight and seemed to be swallowed up by the gate that he sighed heavily and raised his head.

"It must succeed..."

“Boom boom boom.”

Xu Qingyan knocked on the door.

"Saintess, I am a disciple of the Eighteen Sword Sect, Chen Jianshan, and I am Xu Qingyan, asking to see you."

It seemed very quiet inside, but Xu Qingyan could clearly sense the presence of a presence inside through the door.

But is she really the only one?

Xu Qingyan didn't think someone with such a special status would be so careless.

Perhaps there is someone more powerful who has hidden his presence.

"come in."

There was a voice coming from inside.

“Crunch—”

Xu Qingyan moved very slowly and gently pushed the door open.

The sunlight shone into the house through the boy's snow-white clothes, and there was a light woody scent from burning incense.

There was also smoke lingering gently like clouds.

But Xu Qingyan did not see the woman when he entered the room.

He subconsciously looked to the other side following his sense of the aura.

I saw a slender figure behind the translucent screen, like a shadow.
