Xu Qiuqian followed the third pavilion master into the palace of the third pavilion master.
On the way, she learned that the third pavilion master was the only one among all the pavilion masters who came from the Red Tong Pavilion headquarters with the first pavilion master.
I originally wanted to ask where the headquarters was, but I was afraid that asking too many questions would arouse the suspicion of the three pavilion masters, so I simply didn't ask anything.
"Why do you want to serve the Grand Pavilion Master? Is it for resources or something else?"
Xu Qiuqian was puzzled when he heard this: "Isn't it good to serve the Grand Pavilion Master?"
The third pavilion master glanced at her, thoughtfully.
"You shouldn't know what serving the Grand Pavilion Master means serving him, right?"
"...Well, I really don't know."
"Then how did you know that the Grand Pavilion Master is recruiting people?"
"I also heard other people's comments. I happened to know Qinglin, so I wanted to come over and see if I could try my luck." Xu Qiuqian found a reason to explain casually.
"Luck?" The Third Pavilion Master sneered, "If you really follow the First Pavilion Master, let alone luck, you will be fine even if you don't die!"
Xu Qiuqian was immediately curious.
"what is going on."
"To serve the Grand Pavilion Master is to be his cauldron. You can contract for at least ten years, with no upper limit. When the contract time is up, the Grand Pavilion Master will give you adequate compensation. Some female nuns who want to take shortcuts will choose this .”
After all, in the eyes of some female cultivators, just by being a furnace for a few years, you can get countless resources without having to face the danger of the secret realm or others. This is really a good deal.
No matter where you go, you will inevitably find people like this who can't bear the pain.
Xu Qiuqian was surprised.
She also didn't expect that serving the Grand Pavilion Master meant being his cauldron.
No wonder the Third Pavilion Master and Qing Lin were so surprised. It seemed quite good to be the Great Pavilion Master's cauldron, but who knew how the Great Pavilion Master would let her serve as the cauldron after signing the contract?
In other words, the safety of the Grand Pavilion Master in recent years cannot be guaranteed at all.
If he died accidentally, it would be more than worth the loss.
"Do you still want to serve the Grand Pavilion Master now?"
Xu Qiuqian shook her head quickly.
From the beginning, she just followed the words of the third pavilion master.
Seeing her refusal, the master of the third pavilion softened his expression. Seeing this, Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but feel curious.
"Why are you telling me this?"
And just now, when she said that she really had no choice but to make such a choice, the third pavilion master was obviously stunned for a moment, as if he was recalling something.
"Just thinking of an old friend."
"Old friend?" Xu Qiuqian's thoughts changed, "Can you tell me about it?"
The Third Pavilion Master glanced at her with a smile and warned: "I advise you to stop asking. The less you know about some things, the better."
The two of them talked and walked to the inner courtyard of the palace.
Unlike the sparsely populated outer courtyard, the number of people in the inner courtyard suddenly increased, and they were all female Qi-refining cultivators, and some were even in the foundation-building stage. Xu Qiuqian couldn't help but smack her lips.
This style does not look like a famous sect or a righteous organization, but more like those of evil cultivators.
Although she doesn't know what evil cultivators are like.
But this is definitely not the behavior that a well-known and upright person should behave.
Each of these faces is either bright or charming, and all the female cultivators have extremely outstanding looks.
However, after looking at more than a dozen people, Xu Qiuqian also discovered that some of them had average looks, but their facial features were all very familiar.
Some of these female nuns have similar mouths and some have similar noses.
Looking at these female nuns, she was thoughtful.
"What's wrong?"
Xu Qiuqian came to her senses and shook her head: "It's nothing. I was just thinking about what would have happened if I didn't meet the third pavilion master and went directly to the first pavilion master."
The third pavilion master sneered.
"Then it is estimated that you will sign a contract without knowing it and become the cauldron of the Grand Pavilion Master. Even if you regret it, it will be useless. If you escape, you will be captured in the dungeon and tortured to death."
When he said this, the third pavilion master looked a little depressed, as if he thought of some very bad memories.
Xu Qiuqian's eyes lit up.
Dungeon!
Isn't that what she dreams of!
She quickly said: "I want to see the dungeon."
"no."
"Why?"
The third pavilion master suddenly stared at her without saying anything, with a sharp look on his face, which made Xu Qiuqian's heart tremble.
How could she forget that this is the third pavilion master.
It was not Qing Lin who allowed her to fool him.
She pretended to be scared and tried to explain without crying: "I, I was just curious and wanted to see what the dungeon would be like if I signed the contract but ran away."
The reasons are a bit lame, but the acting is good.
The third pavilion master withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.
"The dungeon is currently holding important people, and no one except a few pavilion masters is allowed to enter."
Xu Qiuqian timidly replied: "I know."
Then she lowered her eyes.
If that was the case, it would be difficult for her to get in.
She can use props, but now she is being watched by the three pavilion masters, and her slightest movement will be suspicious.
She has to think of a way...
What can be done?
Suddenly the memories of those female cultivators he saw before flashed through his mind, his eyes flickered, and he immediately put on the disguise ring and picked out the overlapping similarities of the female cultivators. A vague appearance formed in his mind, and the disguise ring also transformed her. She looked like another female nun.
In fact, the three pavilion masters have never given up their vigilance against Xu Qiuqian.
So when she saw Xu Qiuqian's appearance changing, turning into the person he had longed for, his eyes widened suddenly.
"you……"
Xu Qiuqian opened her eyes and smiled at the third pavilion master.
The Third Pavilion Master was in a trance for a moment, feeling like he had seen that person, but although the female cultivator in front of him looked more like her than those outside, she didn't look like her either.
Her nose should be more upturned, her lips should be thinner, and...
"How about the Third Pavilion Master, do I look like me?"
The third pavilion master came back to his senses and stared at Xu Qiuqian closely.
"how did you do it?"
"It's very simple, but what I'm asking you now is whether I look like you."
"It looks like it, but it doesn't look like it either."
The answer was within Xu Qiuqian's expectation.
She smiled again and said: "Well, you tell me your story with her. If I feel moved, I will disguise myself as the real her. Don't worry, she will be exactly the same as you remember her. How about that?" ?”
"Are you serious?"
"nature."
The third pavilion master is still a little wary. He doesn't understand what the female cultivator in front of him wants to do and why she wants to know his story. Moreover, the female cultivator told him before that she was desperate and wanted to defect to the senior pavilion master. Now it doesn't seem like that. picture.
There are doubts everywhere.
However, Xu Qiuqian's proposal is too tempting!
He thought about it and agreed.
It doesn't matter, he comforted himself. Xu Qiuqian only had the cultivation level of the early stage of foundation building. He was already in the middle stage of the golden elixir. What other tricks could Xu Qiuqian do in front of him?
It should be said that he wanted to see what medicine Xu Qiuqian was selling in this gourd.
"good."
