……
The outer perimeter of the Nangong clan.
Shuyuanfang.
Concealing his presence, Zhao Qing arrived at the scene before his aunt could to check on the situation.
This bookstore is located outside the valley where the aptitude test was previously conducted.
Most of the cultivators there were menial laborers and miners, and the whole place looked worse than Qingwufang, even resembling the old Danxia City.
And right here in this ordinary little workshop.
At this moment, a vast and mighty Nascent Soul aura emanated from it, as radiant and majestic as the surging power of heaven.
Zhao Qing casually sensed it.
This aura is none other than the Nascent Soul that sent a telepathic message back home earlier!
See this situation.
He didn't hesitate at all.
Following the pressure and aura, they went straight to a pavilion in the neighborhood to investigate.
Soon, he easily bypassed the barrier and stood outside the window of a palace...
"Senior Brother Zhuang, what is the background of this Qiu Lin?"
"How did this provoke a response from Ruoyou?"
Inside the palace.
At this moment, seven Golden Core cultivators and one Nascent Soul cultivator were whispering to each other.
Their postures didn't reveal much about their level of respect; they all seemed to be old acquaintances.
The nascent soul was a young man, emanating a unique aura...
Zhao Qing took a quick look.
Hey!
Good heavens, he's actually a Jade Maiden cultivator!
It's really rare...
The current status of the Cuiyuan lineage is quite awkward within Yujing Prefecture. Some clans no longer regard Cuiyuan as Yujing disciples.
After all, Cuiyuan is neither a combat cultivator nor a support cultivator; her status largely stems from the years of planning by various states and the unparalleled waterway treasure in Yujing...
Now even the jade pendant has collapsed.
With the fall of the tree, the disciples of Cuiyuan scattered like monkeys, leaving them in an awkward position among the various lineages of Yujing.
of course.
According to the records within Yujing Prefecture, the Master of the Jade Mandarin Duck perished in order to save the common people, and all lineages should help Fellow Daoist Jade Mandarin Duck…
So much so that when Zhao Qing saw the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator Cui Yuan at a glance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty.
...Judging from the situation, this should be my aunt's future boss.
Zhao Qing subtly observed the movements within the hall.
The Nascent Soul Realm man with the jade pendant shook his head with a smile: "Nothing special."
“Originally a descendant of the Qiu family in Zhongzhou, he has now moved to the outskirts of the country and become entangled with some blood relatives in the clan.”
“I have already written to the Qiu family and checked everything. It should be fine.”
Hear this.
A woman chuckled and looked up, saying sweetly, "Then let Qiu Lin be in charge of the three regions of the South China Sea? I just need a break, it'll be easier for me."
As soon as these words came out.
Someone immediately frowned and sighed helplessly, "The commotion in the South China Sea region is quite significant, making it one of the busiest areas. She's new and might not be able to perform her duties diligently; if things get out of hand later..."
The three regions of the South China Sea?
A slight ripple appeared in Zhao Qing's eyes.
Now I roughly understand that the Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators in this hall are all responsible for conducting statistics for overseas... that is, the very center of the population census.
That Nascent Soul cultivator surnamed Zhuang seemed to be the leader, working for a powerful figure from the Nangong clan.
And right now.
Several Golden Core cultivators suggested and discussed sending Qiu Lin here and there.
The Nascent Soul cultivator shook his head, a subtle smile flashing in his eyes: "There's no other way, everyone go ahead and get busy."
"The clan has already arranged for her to work in the Western Sea..."
"Qiu Lin has only just reached the Golden Core stage, so don't even think about trying to trade with her."
Zhao Qing was outside the window and heard everything clearly.
How could it not be clear? It was Nangong Ruoyou who gave the message and arranged for her aunt to work here.
Even the job positions are fixed...
Just then, his expression shifted slightly. He glanced back at the distant sky, a bright smile appearing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul in the hall also made a move.
He stood up and said with a smile, "You've arrived, come and see me."
Immediately, the seven Golden Core cultivators, their eyes filled with curiosity and doubt, also extended their divine senses to observe...
……
A small spirit boat sped in from outside the valley.
The woman on the boat stood gracefully, with a slightly quiet and aloof demeanor.
It was as if her aunt had concealed herself with illusionary magic, appearing as Qiu Lin, to receive her mission here.
The aunt sensed the Nascent Soul's aura, and her calm expression turned slightly respectful.
Knowing that Zhao Qing was nearby, although she couldn't sense her husband's presence, she figured...
Think about this.
A glint of light flickered in my aunt's eyes. With the activation of her Xuanji Pupil, her beautiful eyes became clear and deep as she looked directly at the highest peak of the palace in the neighborhood.
Then, she casually looked away from her husband...
They flew away from the spirit boat and went to the hall to pay their respects.
At the same time, Zhao Qing also stepped out, smiling as he followed into the hall, leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed, looking around with curiosity.
Let's see what kind of job my aunt is doing.
At the same time, he also activated an even more mysterious illusionary technique to cover up some flaws in his aunt's disguise in front of the Jade Mandarin Duck Nascent Soul.
Inside the palace.
Qiu Lin bowed respectfully to everyone, saying, "Qiu Lin greets seniors and fellow Daoists."
Seeing this attitude.
A woman at the Golden Core stage smiled and waved, "Don't be shy, come and sit down~"
"This is Senior Zhuang Han."
“From now on, you will be our elder. Just call him Senior Brother, just like us.”
The aunt smiled slightly upon hearing this and nodded gently to the female cultivator.
He did not take a seat, but stood to the side and respectfully greeted again, "Senior Brother Zhuang Han."
This is all from my senior brother.
She had already roughly realized that among the cultivators present, there were probably at least two or three disciples from the Jade Capital...
Zhuang Han, who sat at the head of the table, seemed quite amiable.
He chuckled casually and said, "The clan has given instructions; you will be working with them from now on."
“From time to time, Golden Core cultivators will bring people back from the Western Sea. You can meet them outside the valley and collect the overseas lists they bring back.”
"It is similar to the affairs of Cuiyuan. You are from the Qiu family, so you should understand."
Matters similar to those of the Jade Mandarin Duck...
My aunt nodded slightly to show that she understood.
Of course she knows.
It's similar to what Yongning Huanyu Pavilion is doing: gathering information brought back from the Western Sea and compiling a directory of overseas documents...
The situation here is not much different from the rumors Lu Miaoxuan had given me earlier.
She naturally had no objections.
She bowed again to the seven Golden Core cultivators in the hall: "I hope you will take care of me in the future. If you have any instructions or requests, just tell Lin'er."
See this scene.
The group of Golden Core cultivators nodded with smiles, knowing that Qiu Lin had been arranged by the clan, so they were quite polite.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Qiu, you flatter me."
"This is not a difficult task. In fact, you only need to observe from here for a while, and someone will hand over the jade slip to you... You can then organize and file it."
Mentioning future collaboration.
After some pleasantries, everyone showed a willingness to take care of Qiu Lin, who seemed to have some connections.
Today, it's just a chance encounter.
After Zhuang Han assigned Qiu Lin her responsibilities, everyone took their leave, and some of them even exchanged communication jade talismans with Qiu Lin.
……
Not long.
Only Qiu Lin and Zhuang Han remained in the palace.
...To be precise, three.
Zhao Qing sat opposite his aunt, watching with curiosity.
The two knew it.
Zhuang Han should have more to say, which may be related to Nangong Qi, since he was the one who helped arrange this good thing behind the scenes.
as predicted.
After the last Golden Core cultivator departed.
Zhuang Han chuckled and glanced back at his aunt, then casually activated the palace's protective barrier.
But this posture.
Seeing this, Zhao Qing couldn't help but smile.
Activate the restriction...
This commotion is exactly the same as the real Qiu Lin's before!
Under the cover of restrictions, it is indeed a suitable place to whisper secrets.
But it's also suitable for dirty tricks...
It all comes down to who's willing to stab whom in the back.
However, Zhao Qing and Xiao Yi decided not to disturb this Nascent Soul cultivator for the time being.
After all, Zhuang Han Cuiyuan comes from a prominent family and is responsible for quite a few matters. She may be in contact with powerful figures from the Nangong family. It's best to assess the situation first.
The two, one in the open and one in the shadows, understood each other implicitly, even without any communication.
After the restrictions were lifted.
The aunt's demeanor became less relaxed, and she regained a degree of respect: "Senior Zhuang?"
"Um--"
The man responded calmly, his smile fading.
He raised his eyes to examine the woman's demeanor and figure, and murmured to himself leisurely, "Qiu Lin."
"Qiu Lin, of the Qiu family of Zhongzhou, third lineage, twenty-ninth generation disciple."
"I began practicing at the age of thirteen, and I am now approaching forty."
"I once worked with a woman from the Zhuo family at Tianyi Pavilion in Donghua City, Zhongzhou, on behalf of my family."
The man spoke slowly and deliberately.
A story with profound meaning.
This indicated that he had thoroughly investigated Qiu Lin's background.
Aunt Zhao Qing was also focused, knowing that these must have come from the lineage of Cuiyuan, and were even more detailed and precise than Qiu Lin's own account.
After all, Zhuang Han is also Cui Yuan's Nascent Soul... In the ordinary state of Yujing, he is already of a status sufficient to establish a sect.
He can investigate these things with ease, and he is indeed suitable for this position.
And this moment.
Zhuang Han lowered his eyes indifferently, watching the woman respectfully remain silent.
Then she spoke softly, her words carrying a profound meaning...
"After the disaster, I followed the Qiu family overseas."
"After the Qiu family divided the territory, you stayed at the Qiu family's residence for seven months."
"Afterwards, he went to the clan to receive arrangements and went to the western sea area, including Ningshan, Yunhan Island, and Luxiao Bay, to coordinate the preaching and the list of ordinary people."
“You entered the Golden Core stage about half a month ago, and then followed Lu Miaoxuan back to the clan.”
Is there any mistake?
Aunt: ...
Qiu Lin's beautiful eyes sparkled, and she lowered her head slightly, whispering, "Absolutely no mistake. I wonder what Senior means—?"
"Hmm...it's nothing special," Zhuang Han replied casually.
He then raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing Qiu Lin intently: "Nangong Qi, do you know him?"
Oh?
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing leaned back in his chair and looked at him with great interest.
My aunt also looked stunned and speechless.
To be honest, senior, we've only met once...
"On the day I returned, I happened to witness Young Master Nangong exchanging essence blood."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Han shook his head noncommittally.
Their attitude became more indifferent.
"That's not important anymore..."
"Miss Ruoyou means that since Young Master Nangong wants to keep you in the clan, he will grant you a peaceful future."
"It's just a crucial matter within the clan..."
talking.
With a wave of his hand, he took out a jade-sealed pill and tossed it onto the table below him.
