But now it’s different. She has become a saint with an extraordinary status. She is the successor of the current Holy Lord and she can already represent the Holy Land.
Bai Qianqian was a little scared being praised by so many people, but she had to get used to it.
Master must have come this way too.
"Aunt Jing, is Luo Xueqing at home?" Bai Qianqian didn't have time to worry about these polite questions, so she directly stated her purpose.
These words reminded Dongfang Jingrou that the Saint held a very important position in the Holy Land, and all the people of status in the mansion should come out to welcome her.
This of course includes Zhao Kangping and his two apprentices.
Especially Zhao Kangping, he is the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, he should set an example and come out to welcome the arrival of the Saint, but in the end he didn't see anyone.
Fortunately, Bai Qianqian doesn't care about these things.
"Yes, I'll go and tell her to come over." Dongfang Jingrou said.
The saint came too suddenly, and Dongfang Jingrou was not prepared at all. She was panicked and a little confused.
"Aunt Jing, let's go together." Bai Qianqian said.
But these words made Dongfang Jingrou's heart skip a beat.
At this time, Zhao Kangping and Luo Xueqing were nowhere to be seen, and Dongfang Jingrou almost immediately had a bad association.
That master and disciple pair is really against human ethics. Could they still be doing such shameful things now?
This kind of thing is not impossible.
Last time, she ran into Zhao Kangping staying overnight in Luo Xueqing's room, and he had specially set up soundproofing. She could easily guess what they were doing in there.
Especially when she saw that Luo Xueqing seemed to have been nourished during this period and became more feminine, she was even more certain that the relationship between this master and disciple was extraordinary.
"No, the Saint should wait here. I will go and inform them."
She insisted on going in person, not even asking a maid to do it for her. Now she was the only one in the mansion who knew about the relationship between the master and the disciple, and she really didn't want anyone else to know.
Zhao Kangping is about to succeed the city lord, and he cannot afford to have any negative news about him recently.
What’s more, we must not let the saint who has just taken office find out that the new saint’s every move is still attracting much attention.
If she caught the master-disciple scandal, it would be difficult to resolve the matter once it was exposed.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Bai Qianqian, who didn't know what was going on, was full of questions.
Dongfang Jingrou felt that she was caught in the middle. She had to cover up for an irresponsible man, but it couldn't be too obvious.
This put her in a dilemma and gave her a headache.
"Nothing, please wait here for a moment, I will call someone for you right away."
"No need, Aunt Jing, just tell me where she is and I'll go find her myself. I know you're busy, so you can have a maid take me there."
"It's okay if my things are done a little later. I'll go call them myself. You can go sit down first." As she said that, Dongfang Jingrou called a maid over and asked her to take Bai Qianqian to a tea room.
However, she repeatedly obstructed Bai Qianqian from looking for someone, which seemed too deliberate and made the saint suspicious.
"Wait, Aunt Jing, are you hiding something from me?" Bai Qianqian was not stupid, she also noticed that something was wrong with Dongfang Jingrou.
It’s over, Dongfang Jingrou felt a chill in her heart.
Then, while Dongfang Jingrou was trying to reorganize her words, Bai Qianqian suddenly dodged and jumped onto the roof with a single step.
"Holy girl, what are you..."
Before Dongfang Jingrou could finish her words, Bai Qianqian had already rushed out, stepping on the roof and the courtyard wall.
She felt that Aunt Jing was acting strangely today, as if she was hiding something from her.
She is in a hurry now, so she can't be so hesitant.
So she went to find it herself.
Dongfang Jingrou watched as he flew away in an instant and sighed slightly. This damn man would not care about his own affairs if their master-disciple affair was exposed.
She hadn't run far when she noticed two women in a courtyard.
When I ran over to take a look, it turned out to be Luo Xueqing's junior sister Zhao Mengyao and an unfamiliar white-haired girl.
The sound of footsteps on tiles startled the two women below, and they all looked in the direction of the sound.
"Junior Sister Zhao, where is your senior sister?" Although Bai Qianqian knew that Luo Xueqing and her junior sister did not have a good relationship, she had no other way to obtain information in a short period of time, so she could only ask the other party.
But Zhao Mengyao looked unconcerned: "I don't know."
How could she care where her senior sister went?
unless……
I almost forgot, Master is also free right now, they wouldn't sneak over...
Ahhhhh!
How could you not call me for help in this kind of thing?
So there was one more person leaping on the roof.
There was no way. Zhao Mengyao had just arrived and was not familiar with the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion. It would be faster to search from a higher place.
Dongfang Jingrou, who was behind, also came over quickly, but her training was good at dodging attacks, but slightly inferior to Bai Qianqian's training in chasing.
She could fly away, but that would make her look guilty.
Then, three women appeared in the city lord's mansion and quickly jumped over the high walls and tiles in the courtyard.
If someone didn't know, they would think that three female thieves had entered the mansion at the same time.
The city lord's mansion is very large, with courtyards of all sizes that are dizzying to look at, but most of them are idle and no one lives in them.
The He family had a large population back then, with servants numbering over three hundred, almost four hundred, and this huge mansion was enough for them to live in.
There are only about twenty people in the mansion now, including the maids, so it naturally seems empty.
But as a cultivator, it is very easy to find someone as long as you use your spiritual sense to search.
It didn't take Bai Qianqian much time to see Luo Xueqing practicing sword in a large martial arts training ground.
At this time, Luo Xueqing was testing the power of her Feixue Sword. Compared with before, the lethality of Feixue Sword had indeed increased a lot.
This is probably the increase after the sword reaches the Earth level from the Xuan level.
For a pure swordsman like Luo Xueqing, the sword is the one he relies on most when fighting with others.
The improvement of the weapon in her hand is equivalent to the improvement of her own strength.
Just after she had swung several half-moon swords in the air, she noticed someone approaching.
She was extremely familiar with that person's aura. It was Bai Qianqian, who had just become a saint.
Luo Xueqing stopped dancing with the sword, and Bai Qianqian just happened to land on the martial arts training ground.
"Do you want to compete with me?" This was the first thing Luo Xueqing thought of when she saw the new saint.
It’s no wonder that Luo Xueqing fell into such a misconception.
Because Bai Qianqian had nothing else to do when she came to see him on weekdays.
These two women were both cultivators who had plunged headfirst into cultivation, and had been fierce rivals chasing and competing with each other since childhood. In each other's eyes, they were the other's children, so how could they possibly get along well?
Both of them are not good at socializing, and their social circles are not large. They rarely get together for other things.
There just happened to be a large arena in the martial arts training ground where the two could have a sparring match.
Luo Xueqing was eager to try out the effect of the upgraded Feixue Sword in actual combat, but the next words of the woman opposite her made her a little stunned.
"Luo Xueqing, come with me. I have something important to talk to you about." Bai Qianqian said this very seriously, without any murderous intent at all.
It was completely different from the attitude he usually had before a fight.
What are you doing?
Luo Xueqing was a little confused. She asked tentatively, "Do you want to go out and fight? Sure, I'd be happy to join you."
But Bai Qianqian shook her head after hearing this and said, "No, it's about the affairs of the Holy Land."
At this time, Dongfang Jingrou and Zhao Mengyao arrived and they both saw Luo Xueqing on the martial arts training ground.
Dongfang Jingrou breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Zhao Kangping.
It turns out he wasn't that hungry after all.
Zhao Mengyao left with a mixture of disappointment and relief. Perhaps she could find her master somewhere else. And then, hehehe...
"The ruins will be opened in early spring of next year. The Yuhua Holy Land wants to join forces with our Holy Land. They sent their Holy Son to discuss cooperation with us."
"I have never participated in such an occasion before, but Master said that I must go. She said that I can choose my companion, and I hope you can go with me." Bai Qianqian requested.
In the Holy Land, Bai Qianqian actually has no other friends among her peers.
The direct disciples of the same generation were either much older than her, with a generation gap between them, or they knew that she was the direct disciple of the Holy Lord and did not dare to approach her.
Or those from factions that are not very friendly to the Holy Lord, she would definitely not contact them.
Only Luo Xueqing would often practice with her. In this way, Luo Xueqing was one of the few people she could talk to.
"Ah? But I have never participated in such things. Why should I go there?" Luo Xueqing had no idea about negotiating on behalf of the Holy Land. She was afraid that if she went there, she would not perform well and cause trouble for the Holy Land.
How could she possibly want to go?
"No, you, you have to go with me. You broke my piano last time, and I haven't asked you to compensate me yet."
Bai Qianqian usually never threatens others, but this time the matter was too important. She was actually a little nervous but didn't dare to say it. She always wanted to find someone to give her courage, and the person she knew well, Luo Xueqing, was the most suitable.
However, Luo Xueqing said with a bitter face: "I can earn spirit stones to compensate you for your zither, but I really can't do this kind of thing."
Chapter 223: Is there anything else?
Luo Xueqing has felt guilty ever since she cut Bai Qianqian's guqin into two halves last time.
She was too impulsive at the time and chopped without thinking.
I later realized how expensive that thing was.
But she didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so she would pay it back sooner or later.
Before leaving Fuxian City, Master also told Miss Qin that he hoped she could help find out if there was any news about someone similar to Baoqin.
The Qianshang Alliance is so powerful that they should be able to help find it.
So all she could do was to raise enough spirit stones.
But after hearing Luo Xueqing's somewhat stubborn words, Bai Qianqian was speechless for a moment.
Dongfang Jingrou on the side was also speechless.
This Luo Xueqing actually didn't give the Saint any face.
But she does have the ability.
But how could Bai Qianqian give up so easily?
She took a few steps closer to Luo Xueqing, her expression becoming anxious, and said, "Xueqing, consider this as a plea from me. Come with me."
"If you agree, I won't ask you to compensate for this guqin."
Bai Qianqian had never lowered her posture as much as today. This was the most humble attitude she could take.
As she said that, she was about to grab Luo Xueqing's hand, wanting to hold her and not let go unless she agreed.
However, Luo Xueqing was quick-witted and quick-handed, and she took a few steps back to avoid her.
"No, I, I, this negotiation must be of great importance, and I'm afraid I can't bear the responsibility behind it." At this time, Luo Xueqing hadn't seen many big figures in the world of immortal cultivation.
He looked like the Son of God from a holy land, whom she had never seen before.
She had no idea about the other person's personality, hobbies, or how to deal with him, nor did she really want to understand.
Luo Xueqing declined without thinking twice.
However, Bai Qianqian still insisted: "There's no need for you and me to negotiate. My master has even sent me a few elders who are good at diplomacy to accompany me and serve as my advisors."
"You just need to stand behind me and act as a background the whole time. You don't need to say much. At most, you just need to smile back when others greet you."
When she heard that she didn't need to speak, Luo Xueqing was a little shaken.
It is very expensive to buy a new magical musical instrument. How long will it take her to save up so many spirit stones?
