It's a pity that such a good opportunity was snatched away by this man.

But how did he know.

She wasn't the only one who thought so. Gu Qingyan also said in disbelief, "How do you know so much?"

If it was true, she would suspect that this person was an accomplice.

But she had also heard of Ji Ningyu, who seemed to often organize charity events. How could she be a member of the Gu Shen Cult?

Zhao Kangping knew that it would not be easy to convince the other party with just words, but he would not tell her that he had read the original novel.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way of finding out. You can go and verify it. I believe you will find a way."

He pretended to be profound and did not intend to explain anything.

In fact, there is no need to explain, this woman will figure it out herself.

Gu Qingyan has always been cautious, but in order to save her sister, she had no choice.

"How about this, fellow Daoist, you can leave your contact information and we will get in touch with you after verification."

"As long as this news is true, we can not only help you find the information, but you don't have to give us the set of formation flags."

In her eyes, family love is more important than anything else. She would do anything to save her sister's life.

"Okay, I'll wait for good news." Zhao Kangping bowed and said, "How about this, I'll go to Fuxian City and wait."

He appeared composed and confident.

Moreover, his strength seems to be on par with their own. Is it necessary for such a person to lie to them?

In fact, it is not difficult to verify whether Ji Ningyu is the one who put the poison on her. She can do it herself.

But she immediately thought of another possibility: could this be a trap to lure her into it?

Gu Qingyan has many enemies, including those from the Gu family, those inside Yunyan Pavilion, and those he provoked when he was traveling outside.

Could this person be one of them?

Gu Qingyan still had doubts and she did not completely believe Zhao Kangping.

Therefore, the safest way is definitely not for her to verify it in person.

In a moment, she had a plan.

So she and Zhao Kangping added each other's communication jade slips, so they had contact information.

Once there is news, we can contact Zhao Kangping through the jade slip.

"So be it."

"Chaolu, Feishuang, escort this fellow Taoist to the door."

Gu Qingyan flicked her sleeves, and two pretty and charming women in tight clothes quietly appeared behind her. Both of them were in the early stage of Nascent Soul.

These two women are Gu Qingyan's trusted subordinates and are loyal to her.

Zhao Kangping could feel that both of them were wary of him.

It’s a pity that the intelligence collection this time will not be very fast, and it will probably take a few days to get the results.

Zhao Kangping would not wait foolishly in Fuxian City for news. He would return to Chuanliu City first.

As he turned and left, Wang Xiaoyue kept looking at his back.

Sure enough, he wouldn't take action here.

At the same time, Zhao Kangping was also asking A Shui if there was any way to mark the little cat to facilitate subsequent tracking of her.

Zhao Kangping originally wanted to test the little cat, but he felt that the timing was not right at this place, so he gave up the idea.

[Yes, I have recorded the aura of the Heavenly Dao fragment on her body. You can see her location on the system map.]

……

He returned to the entrance and found Qin Lingxuan still waiting for him there.

The two of them did not talk immediately. After making sure everything was fine, they left the hidden base together.

"How is it?" Qin Lingxuan expressed her curiosity on the way back.

"It should be possible. They will verify it themselves. I think they will take action tonight. I'll just wait for her news."

He guessed that Gu Qingyan would be able to reply to him tomorrow morning, so he decided to wait.

During this period, he also planned to buy some things in Fuxian City.

There are more and more girls in the harem, and it is a headache to choose gifts for them every time I go out.

Chapter 374 Buying Gifts for the Girls

After returning to the Qianshang Alliance headquarters in Fuxian City, Qin Lingxuan arranged accommodation for him.

When Miss Qin was about to leave, Zhao Kangping called her: "Miss Qin."

The businesswoman looked at him warily.

It was already late at night, and it was always a bit awkward for a man and a woman to be alone together.

Although the two had some slight acquaintance, it was not between a man and a woman.

"What's the matter?" Qin Lingxuan still kept smiling.

Zhao Kangping thought for a moment and then said, "I want to buy some gifts for my fellow Taoists. I've bought them beautiful clothes and cosmetics before."

"But this time I want to buy something different."

"Miss Qin is also a woman, so she should know what girls like."

It turned out that he was buying a gift for his woman and then discussed it with her.

But she seemed to hear the word "Daoist partners", which should be plural Daoist partners.

"Excuse me, how many Taoist companions does City Lord Zhao have?" The female businessman's gossiping spirit was ignited.

She only knew that he and Purple Sun Saint Master Mu Wanyi were fellow disciples, and that she had seen their close relationship during the City Lord's succession ceremony. It was very likely that they were a couple.

Many cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation will not make a big deal about pairing up, and will only know about it with a few close friends at most.

This is the case with Zhao Kangping and Mu Wanyi, but he is thinking that he will hold a wedding when his strength surpasses that of his senior sister in the future.

When talking about the number of his Taoist companions, Zhao Kangping paused.

Including senior sister Mu Wanyi, eldest disciple Luo Xueqing, youngest disciple Zhao Mengyao, housekeeper Dongfang Jingrou, little white snake Wan Baiyi, and Aunt Nangong, there are only six in total.

"Six." He said the number after a moment's thought.

If it were in the past, the master would also be considered his Taoist partner.

Unfortunately, they broke up later. Shizun can only be considered his ex-girlfriend.

When he thought about his separation from his master, he felt mixed emotions.

What kind of information did she come to Yunyan Pavilion to find out?

Yunyan Pavilion will definitely not leak customer information.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to find out the master's intention of coming here from Yunyan Pavilion.

Qin Lingxuan was slightly surprised when she heard what Zhao Kangping said: "I thought the City Lord would have more Taoist companions."

Zhao Kangping has already reached the Spirit Transformation Stage. With this strength, he can become the leader of some first-rate sects, but in the Zi Yang Holy Land, he is only a hall master.

Or, in some large families, people in the Spirit Transformation Stage are already considered ancestor-level figures.

Most of these people have many wives and concubines and many children.

Her father had many wives and concubines, and even more mistresses. He also had a tendency to get bored with the old and fall in love with the new, and he would eventually give some of the women he disliked a sum of money and then abandon them.

Mrs. Huang's sister committed suicide because she was abandoned by him.

"I know of no less than fifty women my father had. Unfortunately, he was too promiscuous in his early years, and he couldn't do that anymore. I am his only daughter."

Qin Lingxuan didn't have much respect for her father. Besides leaving her the Qianshang Alliance, he also created the troublesome Madam Huang.

Although she later took control of the Chamber of Commerce, the negative impact of the internal strife was not so easily overcome.

In fact, Qin Lingxuan's father had some illegitimate children, but those were not allowed to be shown in public.

With Qin Lingxuan's current absolute control over the Qianshang Alliance, she is capable of settling those troubles.

"Really? Oh, does Miss Qin have any gift recommendations?" Zhao Kangping quickly brought the subject back as the topic had gotten a bit off topic.

Qin Lingxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's hard to say. I don't know the ages of your fellow Taoists or their preferences, so it's hard for me to recommend."

What she said makes sense.

But Zhao Kangping wanted to buy something different this time.

"There are some who are about my age, some who are older than me, and a few who are not much different in age from Miss Qin."

"I try to buy gifts that everyone will like."

"I feel like I'm going to rack my brains trying to come up with ideas myself."

Zhao Kangping was also a little distressed, but this should be considered a happy distress.

Qin Lingxuan's heart trembled. What did he mean by a Daoist partner of about the same age as her? Did he want to seduce her? Was he trying to seduce her?

In the world of immortal cultivation, age gap has never been a problem. As long as both parties are willing, they can basically be together, unless it is a forbidden love.

Although he looks quite handsome and youthful, she is currently in the rising stage of her career and has no plans to find a partner.

But she noticed his clear eyes weren't looking at her. It must be a misunderstanding.

Women are prone to association, and she has no emotional experience, so being called by him so late at night, it is inevitable that she would think too much.

But although she is the leader of a business alliance, she is not a big figure in the world of immortal cultivation.

Even the Saint Lord Zi Yang was his woman, and she was nothing compared to him.

This may not make any sense.

There are only four T0-level holy places in the world of immortal cultivation. They are the top forces that surpass all other sects and forces.

There are many indicators to measure the strength of a sect, such as the total number of members, the number of inherited skills, the amount of spiritual minerals and medicinal resources occupied, or the number of vassal forces.

But these are not the decisive factors. What really determines the strength of a sect is the quality and quantity of its top powerhouses.

The first-rate sects that people often talk about usually have multiple cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage, and occasionally some in the Void Refinement Stage.

Sects like the Xianyun Sect, the Tianjian Sect, and the Penglai Sword Pavilion all fall into this category. However, they are only considered T1 in the world of immortal cultivation. Whether in terms of overall strength or peak combat power, they cannot compare with the Four Sacred Grounds.

The four major holy places basically have their own ancestors in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and there are also many hidden Mahayana Stage ancestors.

Those who can become the Holy Lord are all influential figures in their respective holy places, and none of them are easy to deal with.

Although the current Saint Lord Zi Yang is the least experienced of the four holy places and has only been in power for a hundred years, he is still someone Qin Lingxuan must look up to.

Miss Qin seems to have reached the Nascent Soul stage, but she knows her own business. She has achieved this through accumulation of resources, and her own combat power is like a castle in the air, very superficial.

However, she is a puppeteer, and she can use puppets to make up for the lack of her own combat power.

Qin Lingxuan was distracted for a moment, and she had an idea: "Lord City Lord, I think there is something that should be suitable for everyone."

Zhao Kangping became interested: "What is it?"

Qin Lingxuan: "It's a new type of communication jade slip. I gave two prototypes to you and your disciple before."

After she said this, Zhao Kangping also remembered that this was indeed the case.

He and Luo Xueqing were using a new type of communication jade slip. Compared to the old model, its biggest improvement was that it could send voice messages, short videos, and could also be used as a phone for long-distance conversations.

The older models were only capable of handwriting and taking still photos.

Senior sister Mu Wanyi also wanted him to transfer his machine to her, both openly and secretly.

This is definitely not a good thing, because his communication jade slip contains chat records between him and other girls.

He repeated some of the cheesy things he had said to his senior sister to other girls.

It would have been fine if they didn't contradict each other, but it would have been disastrous if she had seen it.

There was no way around it. Although he was sentimental, he wasn't a seasoned veteran in the love world. He wasn't very adept at tailoring sweet nothings to the situation.

So he did not transfer his communication jade slip to her.
