She opened her almond-shaped eyes, and her gaze happened to meet that of her uncle.

Zhao Kangping looked towards his niece. He was so engrossed in his studies that he didn't notice her coming.

When she came into his sight, Zhao Kangping stopped plucking the strings of the zither.

As his hands slowly left the strings, the two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was indescribably awkward.

When she had asked him to teach her those piano pieces before, he had refused. At the time, he had even claimed he didn't understand, and now it was even more clear how perfunctory his attitude had been.

Now she happened to hear him playing the piano.

If this is called not understanding, then how many people in the world can be considered to understand?

"Uncle Master." Junior Brother Bai called out, with a smile on his face that looked like blooming spring flowers.

Zhao Kangping had the illusion that Bai Qianqian's calling him "Uncle" this time was more affectionate than all the other times combined. But that wasn't right. Ever since their two not-so-pleasant misunderstandings, he hadn't seen his nephew treat him with a friendly expression.

Why did she make a 360-degree turn in her attitude?

In fact, he really made things too complicated.

After hearing his piano performance, Bai Qianqian was impressed by him. If he could see her favorability, then playing like this would at least increase her favorability by 50 points.

She loves music and likes to collect various musical instruments and sheet music, but it is difficult to find a soulmate.

Most of the Taoist monks in the world are women, but it is wrong to think that it is easy to become friends with women who are also Taoist monks.

Most of the jealous people in this world are women, those who like to compare are also women, and there are also many women who are petty.

Bai Qianqian may not have participated in many martial arts competitions, but she has participated in many music-related exchanges.

She has met all kinds of Taoist monks, but has not yet met a soulmate.

For example, when participating in a music competition, what is being competed for is not one’s attainments in music.

Either it’s red envelopes for the judges, or it’s connections.

The one who impressed her most was probably the one who was pretty. She would go up to him and sway her waist and flirt with him. Even if the woman played a tune that was so off-key that it was considered a big deal, the judges would still praise her profusely. Later, she found out that the woman was actually the judge's lover.

Zhao Kangping waved his hand and the jade harp floated towards Bai Qianqian.

She took it casually. At this moment, she still felt a little unsatisfied and wanted him to continue playing.

But in the end, I was too thin-skinned to say it out loud.

"In addition to its nice tone, this piano also has two functions. One is that it can emit large-scale sonic attacks, and the other is that it can enhance the combat effectiveness of friendly forces within a certain range," Zhao Kangping introduced.

"Huh? Ah?" Bai Qianqian was stunned. Her white, delicate fingers brushed across the strings and tried to pluck them. The feeling was okay. However, she hadn't listened carefully to what Zhao Kangping said.

So Zhao Kangping explained the function of this zither again.

"Thank you, uncle." She still accepted the piano he gave her.

In fact, what she liked was not the piano, but the songs he played.

Zhao Kangping nodded and said calmly, "Then I'll leave."

But Bai Qianqian stopped him: "Master, I changed my mind."

"What?" Zhao Kangping didn't understand what she meant.

Bai Qianqian said, "Just now, you invited me to play music for your succession ceremony tomorrow. I refused last time, but now I have changed my mind. I plan to perform tomorrow."

"But I have already made an appointment with them. I have also arranged for a female cultivator from the Miaoyin Sect to come over," said Zhao Kangping.

"Miaoyin Sect? That's quite a coincidence. Uncle, I'd really like to participate in tomorrow's succession ceremony." As luck would have it, the female cultivator from Miaoyin Sect had defeated her in the competition she had participated in. It would have been fine if her skills were superior to hers, but she had gotten there through shady dealings. This had always left Bai Qianqian unconvinced.

When it comes to music, this girl becomes a little stubborn.

Zhao Kangping didn't want to make her unhappy again, so he reluctantly told Liu Fucai, who was in charge of the ceremony, about this matter and asked him to revise the plan again.

Liu Fucai was a bit embarrassed when he learned about it, because he had already invited the Miaoyin Sect and rehearsed with them. Now he had to change it again, which would definitely make them unhappy.

But Zhao Kangping insisted on adding Bai Qianqian's performance, and Liu Fucai had no choice but to do as he asked.

……

After Zhao Kangping discussed the new plan with Liu Fucai, he returned to the City Lord's Mansion.

As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he couldn't wait to find his eldest disciple Luo Xueqing.

After opening the door, he heard a voice from inside: "Who?"

"Xueqing, Master is back." Zhao Kangping walked in excitedly before he even saw anyone.

Then he heard another woman's voice, Ji Miaoyan.

She said, "Since your master is back, I won't accompany you."

It would have been fine if Ji Miaoyan didn't know about this before, but now that she knows the secret relationship between the master and disciple, she feels even more embarrassed to stay here any longer.

When Ji Miaoyan saw Zhao Kangping, she greeted him hurriedly, passed him by, and left.

Luo Xueqing was sitting on the bed at this moment. Zhao Kangping checked her and found that her internal injuries had improved somewhat, but she was still a little tired from the previous battle, so the problem wasn't serious.

"Baby Xueqing, do you miss your husband?" Zhao Kangping sat down beside the bed.

"I do. I think about it even in my dreams. I want to finish what I didn't do at Feizhou Wharf that day." She said with a blushing face and a calm heart.

How could he refuse? He immediately climbed onto the bed and lowered the curtains.

Chapter 342: Don’t blame Aunt Yun for forcing you to drink tomorrow

Luo Xueqing comprehended the sword power, which is a realm above the sword intent, which is something that many sword practitioners can never reach in their entire lives.

There are only a few sword cultivators in the world who can comprehend the sword intent, and among these sword cultivators who have mastered the sword intent, only a very few can evolve their own sword power.

She actually comprehended the sword skills earlier than in the original novel, which is definitely a good thing.

Zhao Kangping remembered that the sword power that Luo Xueqing comprehended in the original novel was called Unstoppable. It could use the power of heaven and earth to make his sword moves unstoppable, and would definitely hit the enemy, and could even cut through space barriers.

Even if the target is standing behind a protective formation, her sword can break through the formation and hit the target directly.

This is similar to his Wild Thunder Finger, but the difference is that it deals single-target damage. The sword move "Unwavering Forward" targets anyone in a straight line. This is the difference between a "point" and a "line."

In addition, there was a huge amount of spirit stones in the storage ring that Luo Xueqing got from the Holy Son of Yuhua. She took out a lot of them and fed them into the scabbard space.

The scabbard of the Qingni Sword grew again, unlocking a new area.

At the beginning, the scabbard space only has a small woodland, and later a grassland is unlocked.

The newly unlocked area was a stretch of mountains, and the two of them entered this mountainous area together. There were many rare spiritual herbs growing here, but perhaps because this area had just been unlocked, these spiritual herbs were in their nascent stages and were far from being ready for picking.

There is good news that is worth celebrating. The spiritual herbs grown here can be taken out.

But at present these elixirs are still just young sprouts.

Fortunately, the scabbard space has sufficient spiritual energy because a large amount of spiritual stones have been fed into it, and there is also a magnificent giant tree that can generate spiritual energy on its own.

The environment within the scabbard space was visibly full of vitality, and it became very suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs and medicines.

Observations show that the growth rate of the spiritual herbs here is about three to five times that of the normal environment outside. However, this is still not enough to meet the demand for use. Many spiritual herbs need to reach a hundred years, a thousand years, or even longer before they have a relatively good medicinal value.

Although Zhao Kangping and his team do not know how to refine pills, once these elixirs are mature, they can sell them to people in need.

The only problem is waiting for them to mature, unless they can find a trustworthy spiritual plant master.

The so-called spiritual plant masters are a profession among cultivators, just like alchemists, talisman makers, and formation masters.

A good spiritual plant master can not only accelerate the growth of spiritual medicines, but also greatly improve the efficacy of the medicines.

It's said that some skilled spiritual herbalists can even use special grafting techniques to create a single spiritual herb that combines the properties of multiple spiritual herbs. In short, the spiritual herbalist industry is a complex one.

There's a saying in the world of immortal cultivation that every alchemist's ideal companion is a spiritual plant technician of the same rank. This is because spiritual plant technicians can cultivate the spiritual herbs used in alchemy. These two professions can be said to complement each other.

Due to time constraints, the two left Luo Xueqing's secret garden without exploring the mountains in depth.

By the way, Luo Xueqing’s secret garden refers to the space inside the scabbard of the Qingni Sword, otherwise what do you think it is.

After covering Luo Xueqing with the quilt, Zhao Kangping tidied up her clothes and said, "I'll make you a bowl of fish soup later. Drink it to replenish your body."

"Master, you should also take good care of yourself." Her pretty face flushed, and her heart was filled with sweetness. Being loved by her master like this was her greatest happiness.

Zhao Kangping stroked her fair and pretty cheek with his hand and said, "I don't need to replenish it anymore. Can you bear it if I replenish it again?"

These words made Luo Xueqing feel a little embarrassed, and she had to admit that it would be difficult for her to withstand her master alone.

Maybe she would have to involve her junior sister, or even her uncle, in order to make her master less arrogant. So she stopped talking about this topic.

Then she thought that tomorrow was the day he would succeed the city lord.

"Master will officially become the Lord of River City tomorrow, and I will be in attendance."

"No, it's really no big deal. You don't need to be there at all. Just stay healthy and take care of yourself. That's better than anything else."

"But I want to witness everything tomorrow with my own eyes. Besides, my injuries are not serious and will not affect my movements."

Her eyes were firm, and she stretched out a fair hand from under the quilt and grabbed his leg.

"Master should have realized that this disciple is not weak at all."

"It's not a question of whether you're weak or not. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet. You consumed a lot of energy in slashing the Divine Being with your sword this time. Rest well these few days and heal your body. No one will care if you go wild."

Luo Xueqing is currently in the late Nascent Soul stage, but she is already able to cross the border and kill the God Transformation stage.

This would probably be very surprising to others, but for Zhao Kangping, he thought it was natural.

Otherwise, how could she be worthy of the status of the girl of destiny.

Her master didn't allow her to attend tomorrow's succession ceremony. She suddenly got angry, pouted, turned around, and faced away from him, as if she was sulking.

"I'm leaving." Zhao Kangping greeted her again before leaving her room.

However, Luo Xueqing did not respond to him, probably because she was angry.

……

Next, he went to find Dongfang Jingrou. He felt that he hadn't teased the housekeeper for a while and wanted to play a joke on her.

So he took out an invisibility talisman and used it.

Dongfang Jingrou was reviewing some documents in a study at the moment. He restrained his breath and sneaked in without her noticing at all.

Today she was wearing a slit cheongsam, and her plump legs were wrapped in shiny black stockings.

Cheongsam is a very figure-conscious dress and not everyone can wear it.

There is no need to say much about Dongfang Jingrou's figure. She was originally a physical cultivator and there is not a trace of excess fat on her body.

Moreover, she also pays more attention to maintaining her appearance, so naturally she has a beautiful figure that many female cultivators envy.

It is round and smooth, straight where it should be straight, and curved where it should be curved.

While she was concentrating on her work, Zhao Kangping stretched out a dirty hand and pinched the plump peach.

"Ah?" The housekeeper screamed immediately. She felt someone touching her with great force.

She stood up subconsciously and looked behind her, but saw no one.

"Hmm? Is this an illusion?" She hadn't slept since Zhao Kangping was captured. Zhao Kangping was about to take over as city lord, and some matters were to be handed over to him, but he was away, so she had to do it for him.

But she is already in the late Nascent Soul stage, so she wouldn't have hallucinations if she didn't rest for a few days.

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly felt a hand around her slender waist, and then pulled her body into a warm embrace.

She was still wondering if she was seeing a ghost, but the real touch and the familiar size made her realize immediately that he had returned.

"When did you come back? You're so boring." She nudged his chest with her elbow and said in a coquettish tone.

When Zhao Kangping saw that she had discovered him, he revealed himself.

"I just came back. How do you know it's mine? I have hidden all my scent, even the smell on my body."

"Hey, you pervert, you're not being honest. I knew it was you the moment I pinched you."

"Then spread your legs first and stop squeezing them."

"Hmph, I see you're really mad. Are you still mad about other women?"

"I've told you everything."

"You big pig's hoof..."

Although there was some resentment in her tone, she was still very tolerant of him.

Compared to his senior sister who would put a lot of pressure on him, the housekeeper never let him feel pressured, and even took the initiative to help him relieve stress.
