In Zhizhengtang.
"Master Bai's life-saving grace will never be forgotten by Qingyun!"
It is undeniable that Qingyun always has an inexplicable sense of alienation from Bai Zhizheng, but help is help, and he will naturally accept the kindness.
In a short period of time, Bai Zhizheng changed from his previous embarrassment and transformed into a prosperous figure in the ancient city. It even gave Qingyun the illusion that Bai Ye's whole body seemed to be exuding the aura of a true dragon, forcing people to bow to him. Worship.
But I am a Qilin son with Qilin bloodline, so how can I be intimidated by a mere aura? Calmly clasping his fists and bowing, he bowed to Bai Zhizheng who was sitting on the high seat so generously.
More than ten days after leaving Mao'er City, Qingyun and Alian finally arrived at the rumored ancient road city.
Now the ancient city has been firmly controlled by Zhizhengtang, and the reconstruction work is also proceeding in an orderly manner. As a result, the security management in the city will be relatively relaxed.
Because of this, before Alian entered the city, she smelled the scent of Yao Pofeng and others and confirmed that they were actually among them!
It was only after some investigation that the two of them found out that Yao Pofeng and Hua Yumian were actually arrested at the same time as Xiao Luoyi, and then imprisoned in the Zhizheng Hall together!
Since Bai Zhizheng captured him, it means that Master Bai probably knew Yao Pofeng's identity and captured him. This made Qingyun depressed and suddenly found it extremely difficult.
Although he had guessed before, the Mo Sheng Sect must have sent someone to protect Yao Pofeng in the thirty-three realms.
But this rogue of his has been in desperate situations time and time again. Who knows whether he is lucky or whether someone is really protecting him. Who knows if one day he really loses everything, and then the game is over.
As for Hua Yumian, it was probably to seal her mouth.
After Qingyun persuaded him, promised to give him gifts, and promised not to take risks easily, the little fox agreed to stay in an inn not far from Zhizhengtang, leaving Qingyun to go to the station alone.
After all, as far as the two knew, there were no less than ten Yuanhua Realm masters in Zhizhengtang now. Alian's disguise technique was learned from the demon clan, but it might not be able to hide it from the powerful Yuanhua Realm monks.
In this way, Master Qingyun's original purpose changed from following Bai Zhizheng to eat and drink, to getting people out of his hands, which made him feel an inexplicable sense of guilt.
After all, Qingyun really doesn't want to admit that he is a wolf who takes advantage of others and takes advantage of others.
"Little brother Yun, there is no need to do this. From the moment you follow Brother Bai, as long as I still have breath, I will definitely keep you safe!"
When Bai Zhizheng saw Qingyun returning to seek refuge, he laughed happily and gave him a signature bear hug.
Although Qingyun was not happy, he did not refuse. He smiled and patted Bai Zhizheng on the back as a response.
"Master Bai, these are some of the items needed by Haiyou Sword Sect on the list. Qingyun has been keeping them since he found them. Now that our Haiyou Sword Sect can gain a foothold here, Qingyun should dedicate them to Master Bai."
After saying that, Qingyun took out the spiritual materials that had been prepared for a long time from the treasure bag and handed them to Bai Zhizheng. However, if he hadn't mentioned it like this, Mr. Bai would have almost forgotten the purpose of this trip and couldn't help but be stunned. A smile.
"It's rare that little brother Yun has the heart to be so injured by Xiao Luoyi that day. I really can't bear it. I never thought that you could recover as before in such a short period of time. Your cultivation has improved so fast. You must have had some adventures. As a big brother, I’m really happy for you!”
After such a long period of experience, Bai Xuan on the side has broken through to the early stage of the Hundred Meridians Realm and is not far from the middle stage of the Hundred Meridians Realm. However, his eyes looking at Qingyun will show a trace of jealousy from time to time.
Bai Zhizheng motioned for Qingyun to sit down, but Qingyun was very polite. He waved his hands and refused, shouting that he was lucky. He just refused and said that he had eaten some natural treasures, which inadvertently restored his injuries and increased his cultivation.
Bai Zhizheng was currently thinking about how to avoid the topic of Xiao Luoyi seriously injuring Qingyun, and didn't care much about his politeness.
After all, he likes this woman Xiao Luoyi very much, and Xiao Luoyi and Qingyun seem to be life-and-death enemies, so naturally he doesn't want him to pursue her further.
Also, because he took a fancy to Qingyun's talent, all his former followers were killed or injured. Even the two Huang Kuai brothers who were loyal to him died in the hands of Chen Xing.
If Qingyun can grow up, he will definitely be one of his most powerful helpers in the future. However, Bai Xuan on the side seemed to feel some kind of threat and quickly took the opportunity to ask:
"Humph, Qingyun, don't you be ignorant of flattery? Mr. Bai asked you to sit down to give you face. Why don't you sit down?"
When Bai Zhizheng heard this, he changed the subject, waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, A-Xuan, don't be so formal. Little Brother Yun is one of our own. He can stand or sit if he wants. It's not a formal occasion."
Seeing that Bai Zhizheng didn't want to pursue the matter, Qingyun was naturally so happy. He quickly clasped his fists and thanked her, but he knew it in his heart.
Although Qingyun does not need to obey his words too much at this time, Bai Zhizheng said very clearly that this is an informal occasion. If it is a formal occasion, you cannot sit down if I ask you to stand.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Bai Zhizheng asked Zou Yanwen to take Qingyun down first to rest. This played into Qingyun's plan, so the young master quickly said goodbye to Mr. Bai, who was very rich in the city.
"Bai Zhizheng knew that Xiao Luoyi and I had a deep hatred, but he didn't mention anything about catching Xiao Luoyi in front of me. Could it be that he wanted to take advantage of Witch Xiao? What kind of medicine was sold in this gourd? ?”
After leaving the Zhizhengtang hall, Qingyun slowly followed Zou Yanwen, muttering to himself.
At this time, Zou Yanwen looked much better than before, at least his clothes were not so shabby, and Qingyun looked at his injuries from his aura, and estimated that he had recovered somewhat.
It's just that the arrogant Senior Zou still has that squinty look with his eyes raised to the sky. Not only is he indifferent to the young master's situation, he doesn't even say hello.
Of course, Qingyun didn't need his care, but he just felt a little embarrassed that the two of them were walking so silently. Besides, he was also a nominal outer disciple of Haiyou Sword Sect, wasn't he?
However, he suddenly had an idea and seemed to have remembered something. When the two of them walked to a deserted place, Qingyun suddenly went to Zou Yanwen and whispered:
"May I ask whether Senior Zou's previous promise is still serious?"
His footsteps immediately stopped, Zou Yanwen turned around suddenly, and asked with disbelief in his voice:
"Did you find it?"
Qingyun chuckled and whispered:
"Soul-awakening pill!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qingyun felt that very familiar spiritual pressure rushing towards him.
Although Zou Yanwen treated him the same way when he first met him, but today he once again felt the strong pressure from the Yuan Hua Realm, and Qingyun still felt a chill down his spine.
However, before the spiritual pressure even touched his cheeks, it split into two and flew straight away from his ears, leaving Qingyun speechless for a while.
"Do all masters like to show off like this?"
Unexpectedly, a trace of regret flashed in Zou Yanwen's eyes, and he said a little lonely:
"I, Zou Yanwen, promise a thousand pieces of gold. My previous words will certainly count, but now I have nothing to exchange with you."
He didn't explain the reason, but Qingyun more or less guessed it from Bai Zhizheng's bossy attitude towards him.
"That's not what I need."
Qingyun said with a smile.
Zou Yanwen still had that cold expression on his face. He didn't know if he had already guessed that Qingyun had other plans, or if he was born with a zombie face.
"Say what you want."
"I want you to help me rescue Yao Pofeng and Hua Yumian, and then take us out of Zhizhengtang."
Hearing this, Zou Yanwen did not answer directly, but asked:
"Junior, how do you know that I won't kill you directly and then take your treasure bag? Or take you down and hand you over to Bai Zhizheng?"
"Then you can go!"
Qingyun smiled casually when he heard this. He was really not sure, but his intuition was always accurate. He felt that Zou Yanwen would agree to his request.
Similarly, Zou Yanwen once again showed a very ugly smile to Qingyun, and then gave him an unprecedented thumbs up and praised:
"Last time you asked me to use murderous intent to judge the opponent's attack direction, I thought you were very extraordinary, and this method is indeed quite effective. I didn't expect you to be more bold this time!"
"Hehe, Senior Zou is so complimentary."
"Then do you know that Bai Zhi was able to tie with me when he was on the third level of Yuan Hua Realm? Now that his realm is similar to or even slightly beyond mine, and he has Zhi Zhengtang as his minion, you actually went to his lair to fish for money. People are cheating?"
Seeing the strange look on Qingyun's face, Zou Yanwen just thought it was his compliment that made the young man a little embarrassed.
Little did he know that this was actually the first time Qingyun heard Zou Yanwen say so many words at once, and he was frightened. It is said that this zombie-faced person can't speak more than ten words in private unless he is in front of everyone.
"Senior Zou is joking. You also know that Yao Pofeng is my friend."
"Call me Senior Brother Zou, there are only four of us left in Haiyou Sword Sect."
As he spoke, the sadness in Zou Yanwen's eyes flashed away.
Qingyun didn't show any pretense and directly called Senior Brother Zou, but he still cupped his fists and made a junior salute, and then asked again.
"Huang Tianzhong and Kuai Jian are also dead?"
"Well, not long after we gathered, we were attacked by Chen Xing and his men. Only Bai Zhizheng and I escaped with Bai Xuan."
Zou Yanwen did not tell Qingyun about the incident between the female cultivator in black and the unknown monks in black, which made the young master nod his head and sigh in his heart.
Although Huang Kuai and Huang Kuai took good care of him in order to win him over to Bai Zhizheng, Qingyun still felt a little sad after not seeing each other for just a few months. .
"I wonder if Senior Brother Zou has any good suggestions?"
Zou Yanwen naturally knew what Qingyun's so-called opinions meant, so he couldn't help but frown his sparse eyebrows, and his condensed triangular eyes made his current appearance a bit scary.
