At first, only a few people noticed.
But as more and more people started to notice it, more and more people noticed it.
Several sects gathered together quietly.
"Did you hear that?"
"You mean that?"
"Yes, you also sent people to investigate, right?"
Others nodded.
"I sent someone to check, and some of the monks who came out of the grocery store had never been in a grocery store before, as if they appeared out of thin air!"
"Not only that."
Someone answered: "The people I sent out five days ago saw Cangyan Sect sneaking into the grocery store with a dozen disciples, and they haven't come out yet!"
Several people looked at each other.
"There's definitely something weird about that store."
"And have you noticed that those families headed by the Cangyan Sect, the Yinyue Sect, the Hidden Moon Sect, the Jinshui Sect, and the Teng Family and the Wu Family have undergone earth-shaking changes in their attitude toward that store."
"Those companies originally had a good relationship with that store, but it seems that starting from half a month ago, their attitude has become better. It can even be said to be flattering. Everyone who meets store manager Xu is respectful."
So weird.
"There must be something going on that we don't know about."
Hearing this, one of them rolled his eyes.
"You still need to tell me?"
"Speaking of which, I heard something. Half a month ago, a dozen real people went to the grocery store, and I don't know what they talked about inside. After that, weird and strange things started happening."
"And since the incident half a month ago, those dozens of families suddenly promoted some of their families or sects with not very good spiritual qualifications to inner clan or inner sect disciples."
"No way? As for that? No matter how much you try to please me, it won't be to this extent!"
"That's right, they really embarrass Pingfeng City. However, an outside force casually took out an ordinary sign saying that it can test qualifications. Not only did they believe it, but they also followed it and started fooling around. It's simply ridiculous!"
However, no one else said anything.
When the man saw this, he was stunned.
"You don't want to do this too, do you?"
Someone concluded: "She must have something in her hand that is coveted by those dozen families, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have such an attitude. You said that some people went in and never came out again, while some people who came out had never been in before." , I suspect that this thing in her hand should be able to take people to a certain place..."
"Anyway, this matter is enough to attract our attention, and we can't wait any longer."
The few people looked at each other and left in a tacit understanding. After a long silence, the person who objected irritably clicked his tongue and left.
Not long after, they sent people to the door one after another to look for Xu Qiuqian.
But the first thing they noticed was the Teng family's grocery store.
The plaque from Teng’s Grocery Store was actually taken away!
Could it be that Teng's grocery store is closed?
When they opened their spiritual consciousness and took a look, everyone was even more surprised because they discovered that the person in the grocery store was actually Xu Qiuqian's clerk, the aesthetician named Yun Yi, who seemed to be renovating the store at this time.
The Teng Family Grocery Store actually gave this store to Xu Qiuqian? !
After being shocked, everyone came to the small grocery store and saw the face of a strange female nun.
They had only heard that Xu Qiuqian's shop assistants had two male cultivators and one female cultivator. All three spiritual root qualifications were very good, and they had also inquired about them, but this...
"Are you...the clerk of this store?"
Li Shiqian was sitting at the door, stroking Banjie, looking at the few who came, and lazily humming.
I thought to myself that no wonder Qiu Qian asked her to come here and look at the store. It seemed that Qiu Qian had thought of it a long time ago.
"What's the matter?"
"Let's find Manager Xu."
"she is not here."
"She's not here? Then when will she be here?"
"I don't know, she went to Jinshui Sect."
Others were stunned when they heard this, Jin Shuizong?
Then they heard Li Shiqian say: "But you can tell me the same thing. If you have any questions, you can ask me or Xiao Yi."
On the other side, Jin Shuizong.
"I wonder why store manager Xu is here?"
"I'm looking for Qinglin. Is he still in retreat?"
The real person immediately responded: "Yes, I don't know what kind of solitary confinement he is in. He said he was injured and has not come out of solitary confinement. If Manager Xu comes to him with something urgent, I can help you call him out."
"It's okay, I'll go and call you."
Xu Qiuqian felt helpless.
It's been more than a month, and Qinglin is still autistic.
That incident hurt him so much?
Feeling more guilty.
Arriving outside Qinglin Cave Mansion, Xu Qiuqian stood outside.
"Qinglin, are you there?"
The moment her voice sounded, Qinglin was in the final process of refining the elixir, and then nothing happened.
The spiritual power of the breath is unstable, and too much spiritual power is released, and the pills in the pill furnace are directly useless.
He was silent for a moment, then silently put the medicinal spiritual plants back into the alchemy furnace, preparing to start another furnace.
But compared to his mechanical alchemy before, this time he was restless and his movements were slow.
Just after reaching the second step, Xu Qiuqian's voice sounded outside the door again.
"I know I lied to you and you are very angry. I apologize to you, but I also have my own difficulties. I can explain it. If you are willing to listen, can you open the door?"
Hearing this, Qinglin pursed his lips tightly.
He remained silent and didn't speak.
Thinking of what Xu Qiuqian said to him before entering the Red Tong Pavilion, and what the Grand Pavilion Master said to him, those words Xu Qiuqian said were all lies and she was lying to him. She was just to enter. Chi Tong Pavilion saved her partner and destroyed Chi Tong Pavilion, but she didn't regard him as a friend at all.
Thinking of these, there was a wave of depression and loss in my heart.
He said nothing.
After a while.
"If you don't want to see me or listen to my explanation, then I'll leave, but I still want to tell you that although I did say those words to you to save my shop assistant, those words are indeed my true words. .”
Qinglin's consciousness unfolded and he saw Xu Qiuqian's leaving figure.
pursed lips.
Can't she say a few more words?
Xu Qiuqian sighed in his heart.
Well, when I used Qinglin, I really didn't expect Qinglin to be so innocent and trust her so much. Since he didn't want to see her again, there was no need for her to stay shamelessly.
She turned and left.
Unexpectedly, after taking a few steps, he noticed a sound coming from behind him. He turned around and was surprised.
The hole in the doorway is opened, and the restrictions are gone.
But Qinglin's voice didn't come.
Xu Qiuqian hesitated.
Even though he didn't say anything to let her in, the restriction was gone and the door opened. It must have been meant to let her in, right?
She thought as she walked towards Qinglin's cave.
The furnishings were similar to the ones I saw last time, but I didn't see Qinglin, so I walked into the alchemy room at the back.
At a glance, he saw Qinglin in the alchemy room.
