"Qian Lin, are you okay?"
"I always felt like someone was saying bad things about me behind my back." Qian Lin shook his head, indicating that he was not in serious trouble. The chill he felt behind his back must be an illusion, right?
When Venerable Bi Ye, who was stuffing snacks into his mouth, heard this, he looked up at Qian Lin thoughtfully. Generally speaking, when a cultivator's strength reaches a certain level, he will naturally gain this perception ability.
But Qian Lin is just now cultivating his state of mind, so he shouldn't have this ability.
Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking it. It must be just a coincidence.
……
In the northern border, on the endless snowfield, two groups of troops were sitting in the ice and snow and confronting each other.
One of them was wearing a blood-red robe, exuding a strong, nauseating smell of blood. These people had gloomy expressions and it was obvious that they were not in a good mood.
If there was someone familiar with the various forces standing here, he would definitely be able to recognize the identities of these people in blood-colored robes at a glance: they are monks from the Blood Sea Sect!
The usually arrogant and domineering cultivators of the Blood Sea Sect are now suppressing their bloodthirsty nature and sitting obediently in the snow. The reason is obvious.
That was the other group of people sitting on the other side, confronting them.
Thousands of families in the North!
This big family is a major force in the northern border that is independent of the righteous and evil sects. Its strength should not be underestimated. If it faces a single evil sect alone, the Qian family will not be at a disadvantage.
Now, a venerable of the Blood Sea Sect was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown, and the forces in other places were being frantically uprooted and destroyed by the righteous. At this time, it seemed to be a very normal thing for the Qian family to come out and add insult to injury and snatch some benefits from the Blood Sea Sect.
The current focus of the Blood Sea Sect is to deal with the revenge of the righteous. If they were to make enemies with the Qian Family at this time, they would be caught in a situation where they were attacked from all sides and would probably be torn to pieces.
As for the other four demonic sects?
Haha, the Blood Sea Sect doesn’t think these so-called fellow practitioners are any better than the righteous ones.
"Three cities, your Qian family's appetite is a bit too big." The man in the blood-stained robe looked at the map in front of him. Looking at the three cities marked with eye-catching red circles on the map, his voice was slightly cold.
Sitting opposite him was a handsome young man who looked quite young. He was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat and holding a cup of steaming tea in his hand. He smiled contemptuously at the words of the Blood Sea Sect man, "These are just a few cities on the edge of the Blood Sea Sect. It hasn't been long since you seized them, right?"
"You have no right to bargain now. The revenge of the righteous has already exhausted you. If we launch an attack here, you will lose more than three cities."
This is indeed the truth. The Blood Sea Sect currently does not have the extra energy to fight against the Qian Family here. The Qian Family just wants to tear off a piece of meat, while the righteous path wants to directly destroy the Blood Sea Sect.
"Or you can go to other demon sects for support, but... to put it bluntly, it would be better for you to just give the three cities to us." The young man said cheerfully to the man from the Blood Sea Sect.
If other demon sects come to "help", the price paid by the Blood Sea Sect will not be less than that of these three cities.
So the man from the Blood Sea Sect is very conflicted now. Reason tells him that he should accept the Qian family's proposal, but emotion also drives him to be unwilling to accept this coercion.
Modao's personality is always hot-tempered and irritable, especially when the boy sitting opposite him is just a junior who is cultivating his mind, he can't hold back his temper.
But he did not dare to move. The young man was not very strong, but there were two masters standing behind him, while he was the only master on his side.
If things really get badly wrong, he and his group would probably have to pay a heavy price before they could leave.
Huh, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, the man from the Blood Sea Sect nodded with difficulty, "I hope you can abide by the agreement."
"We are not like you demons who like to break your promises." The young man sneered and replied bluntly.
The people from the Blood Sea Sect were in no mood to engage in verbal battles and left quickly after signing the contract. They still had to hurry back to the sect to deal with the attacks from the righteous.
Watching the Blood Sea Sect monks disappear in the flying snow, the young man looked at the contract in front of him with a regretful expression on his face, "It's a pity that I couldn't get more."
Three cities are the bottom line of the Blood Sea Sect. If they ask for even a little more, the other party probably won't sit down and negotiate.
"You have already done a good job in acquiring three cities at such a small cost." The Grand Master standing behind the young man said to him with a smile, "These three cities may bring you a good income."
"Hmm? Ah..." The boy's eyes were dazed for a moment, and then he shook his head, "I won't mess with the income of these three cities."
The master had a puzzled look in his eyes, not understanding what the young man meant.
Now that these three cities have been taken, the ownership naturally falls into the hands of the young man. Then why does the young man still say that he will not touch the income of these three cities?
"Xiao Lin played an indispensable role in taking these three cities. As a brother, how can I take my sister's things for myself?" Speaking of his sister, the boy showed a bright smile on his face. "That girl has been full of ideas since she was a child, and she especially likes spirit stones. These three cities should make her happy for a while."
"Ah..." The Grand Master showed an expression of "as expected". His boy was good in every way except that he was a little too doting when treating his own sister.
In other big families, brothers and sisters may fight to the death for the family property, but in the Qian family, the relationship between these two siblings is so harmonious that the young master even cried and didn't want the young lady to leave when she left.
It really destroys the boy's handsome image.
"By the way, next year will be your coming-of-age ceremony, right? Should I tell Miss about this?"
"There's no need to tell Xiao Lin about such trivial matters. What she should do now is to practice well. She can go back to the North Territory if she wants to, and it's okay if she doesn't want to." The young man touched his nose, but his expression seemed a little lonely. Although he said that, he still missed the time when he and his sister played together after not seeing each other for such a long time.
After returning, I will write a letter to Xiaolin. I hope she won’t think that her brother is annoying. The boy smiled bitterly.
However, given my sister's personality, this request might be a little difficult to fulfill.
……
"Oh, the photo prints are out, let me see..." Snatching a few photos from Ye Qiuhan's hands, Qian Lin began to admire his own peerless face in the photos impatiently.
After watching for a few minutes, she had only one comment: She is really beautiful.
"My master has just snatched one from me, saying that it can be used to lure other disciples at the Ascension Conference." Ye Qiuhan tried hard to snatch the photo back from Qian Lin's hands, but Qian Lin's agile body made her efforts completely ineffective.
This time she spent a lot of money to have her senior sister who was skilled in rubbing techniques use the most perfect method to rub the image on the photo stone. She only got five copies in her hands. After the master took one away, there were only four left!
She had planned everything well, she had three Qian Lins and two, but now there was a gap of one, which was really a headache.
"You promised to give me two. You can't break your promise." Qian Lin picked out the two best-looking photos from the four photos and returned the remaining two to Ye Qiuhan, "I'll keep one for myself and send the other back home."
Looking at the two photos handed back by Qian Lin, Ye Qiuhan dejectedly accepted this reality. He couldn't go to his master to complain, so two photos were enough.
"Come to think of it, Qian Lin, you have joined our Yao Chi for about a year and a half, right?" After carefully putting away the two photos, Ye Qiuhan brought up a topic.
A year and a half? Qian Lin really didn't keep track of time. Her life in Yaochi was very regular, so regular that she couldn't even figure out which day she was in.
Since Ye Qiuhan said so, it should have been about a year and a half.
"Probably. I don't really keep track of time." Qian Lin thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly, "What's wrong?"
A year and a half is not an important period of time. If you are talking about the two-year anniversary, then there is nothing wrong with commemorating it. But for the past year and a half, I have been in the middle of nowhere. What is there to talk about?
"For a whole year and a half, have we ever had a good conversation as sisters?" Ye Qiuhan raised her head and said in a sad and angry voice, "You even refused to sleep with me!"
"Pervert." Qian Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he blurted out an angry rebuke, "Ask yourself, is that your attitude towards your junior sister?"
Are there any normal senior sisters like you? You come up to me and rub against me whenever you get the chance. Do you know that this is very scary?
We are still sleeping together, you slut!
"Well, is there anything wrong with wanting to sleep with my lovely junior sister in my arms?" Ye Qiuhan asked, tilting his head.
What's the problem? There must be a big problem! Looking at the face that was exactly the same as the saint's, Qian Lin really didn't know what went wrong, causing the saint who only cared about the people of the world to become like this.
Sister, please wake up. Your mission is to save the people of the world. You must devote all your strength to the people of the world and burn your last drop of blood. Please don't waste your time on an unknown person like me who is just passing by, okay?
I have already joined Yao Chi and embarked on the right path. You really don't need to waste your time on me.
"Now, my dear senior sister, could you please get out of my room quickly and smoothly? Thank you." Pointing at the door behind Ye Qiuhan, Qian Lin said with a smile as beautiful as a flower.
"Okay." Ye Qiuhan immediately turned around and fled from Qian Lin's room. Her instinct told her that if she didn't run away quickly, Qian Lin would probably roll her into a ball and throw her out of the room the next moment.
When the fighting ability is not as good as that of the junior sister, the senior sister's attitude can only be so humble, Ye Qiuhan thought with tears streaming down her face.
But Qian Lin called me senior sister just now. Although the tone seemed more sarcastic, she was indeed calling me senior sister!
Ye Qiuhan felt a little secretly happy when he received this title.
Inside the room, Qian Lin touched her nose helplessly. She really couldn't understand what was going on in Ye Qiuhan's head. Before, Ye Qiuhan was stupid, as if his brain had not fully developed. Now his brain was developing normally, but he was heading in a perverted direction.
What is most confusing is that Ye Qiuhan's perversion is only directed at Qian Lin. In front of other people, she acts like a good girl, just a little reckless at most.
You may say that Ye Qiuhan is a lolita complex, but she doesn’t behave in such an outrageous way towards other little girls. You know, Qian Lin can be called senior sister now.
Just talking about the several junior sisters that I have met in the clinic, there is a little sister who looks only a little different from me. I heard that she is the little princess of a big country in the East Territory, and was sent to Yaochi to study for a few years.
When Ye Qiuhan came to the clinic to find Qian Lin, he also met that little sister and behaved very normally, very normally.
"I don't understand. Both Ye Qiuhan are mentally ill." Shaking his head, Qian Lin felt that he couldn't think too much about these two guys, otherwise he would be assimilated by them and become the same lunatic.
After the last conversation with the Saint in the dream, Qian Lin could clearly feel that the Saint would come out for some fresh air from time to time, and each time she would tell Reverend Bi Hai something in a roundabout way.
Qian Lin overheard some of it, and found that they were all trivial matters in the world, but in the mouth of the saint they became the conspiracies of the devil, and she sounded very confident.
If the Saint had not been an eyewitness to these events, Qian Lin's attitude would probably be something like 'Are you a charlatan?'
But she also knew that she didn't understand these things, and expressing her opinions casually would only bring shame. Let the saint worry about it, it had nothing to do with her.
Qian Lin has no intention of getting involved in these matters now. As long as it does not threaten the Qian family and herself, she doesn't bother to care.
She is not a saint, and she does not have the intention to help the world. She just wants to take care of herself.
"My brother's coming-of-age ceremony should be coming soon. I'll write a letter and send it back with the photos, asking him if he wants me to go back to attend." Shaking his head, Qian Lin decided not to care about that annoying saint and just think about his dear brother.
For a saint like this, is it important to have a brother?
No!
Taking out a piece of letter paper from the drawer, Qian Lin thought for a moment, then began to write quickly.
It’s better to write letters home by hand.
Soon, Qian Lin finished writing the letter. She picked up the letter paper and checked it carefully. She nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this should be enough.
However... her eyes fell on the photo at hand. It would be a little difficult to put this photo into an ordinary envelope. It would probably require a larger envelope.
But Qian Lin doesn't have such an envelope.
Scratching her head, she stood up and left the room, wanting to ask Reverend Bi Hai if there was a suitable envelope.
After searching the house, Qian Lin did not find any trace of Master Bi Hai. Could he have gone out to do something?
It's still broad daylight, so it's normal for the sect leader, Reverend Bi Hai, to have things to deal with.
"Qian Lin?" Perhaps hearing the noise of Qian Lin moving around in the room, Ye Qiuhan opened his door and poked his head out of the room. "Master seems to have gone to work. I guess she won't be back until the evening."
Sure enough, he went to do some work. Qian Lin nodded in understanding, "Do you have a slightly larger envelope that can hold photos?"
Although he thought Ye Qiuhan might not have such a thing, Qian Lin still asked with hope.
Unfortunately, Ye Qiuhan really didn't have any envelopes. There was nothing she could do. She didn't have anyone to send letters to like Qian Lin, so there was naturally no way there could be such a thing as an envelope in her room.
Unlike Qian Lin, who made up fake news about Yao Chi to fool the undercover boss of Mo Dao, and at the same time had to send letters to home, and the envelopes were used up quite quickly.
Yes, that's right. Qian Lin is now playing the role of a hard-working undercover agent of the magic sect. He processes the big and small things happening in Yao Chi a little bit and sends them to the undercover agent of the magic sect to gain the other party's trust.
Because these things all have prototypes, Qian Lin's information seems particularly realistic. She even comments on the taste of the desserts in the inner gate of Yao Chi, saying that the desserts here are a bit too greasy, and eating a few pieces will make people feel nauseous.
This kind of details cannot be made up by an undercover agent who does not live in Yao Chi, so Qian Lin has now completely gained the trust of the undercover agent of the Demonic Path, and a stable channel for information exchange has been established between the two sides.
Qian Lin needs the undercover agent from the Demonic Path to tell her about the situation in the Northern Territory. This is the most stable and quickest way for her to understand the situation in the Northern Territory.
"Although there is no envelope, I think Qian Lin can send more things back, such as the specialties of our Yao Chi. Prepare a big box and put the photos in the box." Ye Qiuhan made a suggestion.
Should we send some Yaochi specialties over? It seems like a good idea.
Qian Lin looked at Ye Qiuhan in surprise. She didn't expect that such an idea could come out of Ye Qiuhan's mouth. She was really surprised.
"Hey, what does that expression of yours mean? I'm smart, okay?" Ye Qiuhan glared at Qian Lin fiercely, "Stupid Qian Lin!"
"Oh, thank you this time. I'll go back and think about what gift to send to my family..." Qian Lin didn't argue with Ye Qiuhan this time. Instead, he thanked him indifferently, went back to his room and began to think about Ye Qiuhan's suggestions.
First of all, this suggestion is pretty good, but it is worth thinking carefully about what to send.
Qian Lin is not very familiar with most members of the Qian family. She sends more letters to her parents and brother, well, mainly to her brother.
This is a bit embarrassing, because the featured products at Yao Chi are all women's products, such as small skirts, stockings, small decorations and so on.
You can't send a set of women's clothes to your brother, right?
Uh... forget it, let’s just pick something normal.
Speaking of normal things, the first thing Qian Lin thought of was the Chun Shui Sheng Sheng Pill. The effect of this pill was extremely good and it was perfect to give it to others. However, if the Chun Shui Sheng Sheng Pill was not for personal use, it had to be applied for before it could be sent out.
It might be a bit troublesome for ordinary disciples, but for Qian Lin, the sect master's direct disciple, it is not a big problem.
Send some local specialties home, what else can anyone say?
After deciding on the Chun Shui Sheng Sheng Dan, Qian Lin's thoughts suddenly became active. Since the elixir works, then weapons must be able to work as well, right?
She remembered that her brother had wanted a beautiful sword for a long time, but for various reasons he had never been able to get one. This time when she had the chance, she decided to give one to her brother.
As he was thinking about this, Qian Lin's thoughts began to wander rapidly. When Reverend Bi Hai came back from outside, Qian Lin already had a long list of gifts.
Reverend Bi Hai, who knew what Qian Lin was doing from Ye Qiuhan, walked in and took a look, and his eyes suddenly became weird.
"Lin'er, are you planning to move the entire Yaochi back?" Taking a look at the list Qian Lin had made, Venerable Bi Hai reached out and tapped Qian Lin's head gently, "There are too many things! All these things you have are enough to open up a trade route from Yaochi to the Qian family!"
