Zhengyang Street, Wutong Lane, Zhongfu.
Zhong Yan returns home.
Zhong Xiaozhong, who had been guarding the outer courtyard, immediately came over and said, "Master!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the treated wound on his forehead, "Are you okay?"
"The little one is fine. On the way to give the gift, I was knocked unconscious by a sap while passing by Pingshun Lane. The gifts were opened but not taken away..."
"The younger one changed the gift box and sent it to the City Lord's Mansion but failed to get in. Zhang Shun came out to collect it and didn't let the younger one say anything."
Zhong Yan nodded, "Go to bed and ask Madam Seven to find me in the training room tomorrow morning."
"Yes, sir, you should also rest early."
Zhong Yan went to the study room and glanced at the floor and neat desk. The few pieces of paper he had written on "Just for Immortality" during the day were all cleared away.
He sat on the chair, took out a stack of information from his storage bag, and looked through it again.
A smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Today, I got an unexpected harvest—Yu Qingyao!
According to the information collected by Yang Yanqing, Yu Qingyao has been practicing for eighteen years and is still like a newbie.
In the words of the other party - she is so timid that I can't bear to bully her.
Through the various descriptions of her experiences in the documents, Zhong Yan saw through the phenomenon the essence behind her timidity and extreme stubbornness - innocence!
Too rare.
Especially for a widow who has been married for almost thirty years, it is simply unbelievable.
In the world of spiritual practice, every monk has a deep mind, and there are not only 800 minds, but also 700.
Zhong Yan has been eager to find a female monk, but there has always been a worry in his heart: 'satisfaction'.
Unless it is a woman who has spiritual roots and has not yet practiced, and is trained and trained from scratch, it will be difficult to make the other party give up as long as she steps into the first level of Qi refining.
Unlike mortals, it is difficult for monks to have absolute trust among themselves.
Even if they are close Taoist companions who share the same bed, there will be some distance between them if they have not experienced a certain number of lives and deaths together.
Let’s talk about Zhong Yan himself and Li Henian.
The two met as teenagers and have been friends for decades. They have saved each other's lives no less than ten times, but they still have reservations. For example, Li Henian, the girl with spiritual roots that day, never mentioned the specific hiding place.
And this is related to the issue of system experience value.
Mortal wives and concubines do not have many points, and the difference is not big.
Judging from Ruoyun and Narcissus, the female monks both have dozens of points of experience.
If you marry a female monk and you can't really return to your heart, the difference can be imagined.
And now.
Yu Qingyao is a very suitable candidate.
Such a simple female cultivator will easily be recognized as long as she is sincere and good to her. Once recognized, given time, they will definitely be friends with her for life.
"It's a bit useless, but it's decent enough that it won't cause any big problems if you keep it at home."
Zhong Yan chuckled, her only small regret was that she once had a Taoist companion, and it would take some time to make him forget.
Sudden.
Zhong Yan's eyes flashed, his eyebrows furrowed and he raised his head, and then his expression relaxed again.
The next moment, vitality fluctuations appeared at the door of the study, and Yu Qingyao seemed to be walking out of nothingness.
"I can help you with things, I have a condition!"
Zhong Yan glanced at her body, blinked in surprise, waved his hand to form a soundproof shield to wrap around the entire study, and said with great interest: "Tell me about it."
Yu Qingyao looked around, feeling suspicious. She was not so cautious in her home, but she still needed soundproofing in her own home.
Without thinking deeply, she said with a serious face: "Five hundred low-grade spiritual stones. After finishing the work, I will leave Qingyang and the Yan Kingdom. You and I will have nothing to do with each other anymore!"
Zhong Yan was amused, "I learned how to speak like a lion so quickly. It wouldn't take me so much to find someone to kill Xue Shanhu."
Looking at each other for a moment, Yu Qingyao pursed her lips and said: "Three hundred, Xue Mansion has a large number of people, and their lives are in danger. My sixth level of Qi Refining is worth this price!"
Zhong Yan shook his head and said: "It's probably Yinshi now. I've missed the best opportunity. You may not be able to give me the results I want."
Yu Qingyao's heart moved, and she had been thinking about this question all the way, "Why are you sure it is today?"
"It's not certain, but it's more likely that I'll get something tonight."
"Why?"
"I have been to Fang City for many days, but there is no movement in the city. When I returned yesterday, the Xue Mansion will definitely convene important people for discussion after receiving the news."
"That's all?"
Zhong Yan was speechless and rolled his eyes in disgust.
Seeing this expression, Yu Qingyao was immediately embarrassed and said, "Say! If it makes sense, I won't be able to give you a satisfactory result after tomorrow, so just give me less spirit stones!"
"How many?"
"Two hundred...one hundred is the minimum, no less!"
Zhong Yan looked like he was thinking seriously.
Yu Qingyao said angrily: "You can't let me work in vain, I will have to go through trouble even if I leave Yan State! Eighty, if it's less, you can find someone else, or simply kill me, I won't be threatened by you..."
As she spoke, her eyes widened and she was stunned.
what happened?
Didn’t I come here to ask for five hundred spirit stones?
With just a few words of practice, not only did he take the initiative to lower himself so much, but he also begged him in turn!
Seeing Zhong Yan's half-smiling face, Yu Qingyao's face turned red with anger, what a bastard! Fortunately, I also saved a hand!
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. I deliberately went to Fangshi for many days to give them time to plan and prepare. However, in the city, whether it was the Zhongfu, the City Lord's Mansion or other guest officials' mansions who might help me, there was no abnormality during this period. .
Xue Mansion must be suspicious, and I came back suddenly yesterday, but did not bring any help. This is contradictory in itself. Xue Mansion will become even more suspicious, and it will naturally need to be discussed.
As for the restaurant matter itself, my attitude is clear. Except for Xue Shanhu and those who blindly flatter him, anyone with any brains in the Xue family will not approve of his revenge killings.
This involves various forces in the city and the interests within the Martial Alliance. If you want to know, go and check it yourself.
When there is a discussion, there will naturally be disagreements, and in the end they will break up. At this time, it is most necessary to vent, regardless of gender.
And I happen to have information that the relationship between Guo Qingxue and Xue Hongyi is not normal. If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to deduce..."
After a pause, Zhong Yan pondered and said: "Even more seriously, these two people might even have the idea of killing Xue Shanhu and take the position themselves. After all, their realm is not bad and they can sit as the leader of the alliance."
The adopted mother and adopted son were having an affair, and it was discovered that there was no other outcome other than death. Guo Qingxue's murder of her husband was inevitable, and it was only a matter of time.
"..." Yu Qingyao was shocked in her heart, as if the other party was at the scene. She even guessed that Guo Qingxue planned to kill her husband.
Zhong Yan glanced at her and smiled: "After talking to you so much, do you think I will let you leave Qingyang City? Take out your things."
Yu Qingyao's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
"The result I want, haven't you been to Xue Mansion?"
"you!"
Yu Qingyao's face turned pale, and she took two steps back, as if she had seen a ghost. She quickly scanned her body with her spiritual consciousness to see if there was any tracking restriction.
Zhong Yan shook his head secretly. It was a miracle that such a person could survive to this day.
In fact, he was a little surprised just now. The other party ran to Xue Mansion so quickly and came back to negotiate with his family.
But after thinking about the distance between Zhong Mansion, Xue Mansion and her family, it became clear.
Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Zhong Yan said with a smile: "Do you wear too many clothes for fun? And the moss on your sleeves, it seems that it can't be rubbed from your house to mine, right?"
"..." Yu Qingyao looked down at the clothes on her body, a sad smile appeared on her lips, and she stumbled in despair.
I wanted to find a reason to refute this obviously speculative statement, but my own reaction just now said it all.
She felt a tightness in her chest and shortness of breath, and raised her head to stare at Zhong Yan, "I have imprinted the sounds and images. Let me leave the city. I will send you a message in seven days!"
Zhong Yan looked at her, remained silent for a moment, waved his hand and said calmly: "You can go, there is no need to pass it to me, I can handle it."
Yu Qingyao bit her lip so hard that it drew blood. She squatted on the ground and choked with sobs, "Why..."
Who knows how difficult it was for her to get to where she is today and how much she suffered.
She knew that she was not smart enough, but just because of a small mistake, her life's freedom would be ruined. She was unwilling to do so, felt aggrieved, and felt that God was unfair.
Zhong Yan: "..."
Really speechless.
A person at the sixth level of Qi refining was so powerless and helpless when facing the fourth level of Qi refining. She was probably the only one in the world.
However, such a pitiful and tearful look made Zhong Yan feel soft in his heart.
He took the opportunity to step forward, put his hand on her shoulder, and patted her gently to comfort her.
"Okay, I like you, so how can I bear to hurt you? If you want to leave, just go out of the city."
Yu Qingyao sobbed so hard that her shoulders hunched. After a while, she stepped back to avoid Zhong Yan's hand, stood up and wiped away her tears.
The more Zhong Yan said this, the less likely she felt that she could leave the city smoothly.
"Zhong Yan! Let's each take a step back. I will give you my things, and I will also promise to submit to you and listen to your arrangements. But I will not marry you, I will only be a guest at home. If you don't agree, I will kill myself!"
If you stay, it's not up to you.
Zhong Yan was amused: "You are a widow, why do I have to marry you?"
"..." Yu Qingyao was startled, and her eyelashes trembled, "Yes, I am a widow, and I tell you the truth, I love my former Taoist companion very much, and I will never fall in love with anyone else even if he dies. You force me to do this You fellow Taoist will never be of the same mind in the future."
Zhong Yan felt disgusted. When she was rejected by the team of casual cultivators, only one of them left with her and was willing to become a Taoist couple with her, a loser. They thought it was true love.
But so what? In front of time, it is not a problem!
"Bring the stuff."
Yu Qingyao rubbed the corners of her eyes with her sleeves again and asked carefully: "You agreed?"
"I, the Zhong Mansion, do not raise waste!"
I'm not a waste... Yu Qingyao snorted in her heart, pursed her lips and hesitated for a while, then took out the talisman and pushed it in front of Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan held two talismans, looked at her with a half-smile and said, "You don't want to imprint two more, I still plan to appreciate them."
After the sound and image are imprinted with the poly-note and poly-poly symbol, there is only one chance to use and watch them, and they cannot be retained after that, which is a huge disadvantage.
Yu Qingyao blushed, the scene she saw before appeared in her mind. After thinking about it, she took out two more talismans and threw them to Zhong Yan.
Zhong Yan teased: "You are planning to go home and watch secretly by yourself!"
"..." Yu Qingyao blushed and moved her lips, unable to argue. She just wanted to leave evidence and seize Zhong Yan's handle. At this moment, there was a "Juyin" in her arms, and it was deliberately conspicuous on her waist. A 'Light Body Talisman' was posted everywhere to cover up fluctuations in vitality.
Zhong Yan cast a spell to activate the talisman, and a burst of vitality surged, condensing into a picture.
Immediately he clicked his tongue, good guy, this posture makes a young man push a cart!
Yu Qingyao turned her face away and said: "You guessed it right, they want to plot against Xue Shanhu and collude with the deputy leader of the Martial Alliance..."
After telling what she had heard, Yu Qingyao asked the question she was concerned about: "How many spiritual stones does it cost to be a guest of the Zhong Mansion in a year?"
The picture disappeared and Zhong Yan no longer heard the voice, "Fifteen."
Yu Qingyao said angrily: "You are really good at scheming! This is just enough for me to pay the rent and run the formation!"
"What else do you want? The mage is only twenty a year. If you don't do it, you can leave."
"..." Yu Qingyao snorted softly, turned and left.
"Before you do anything, it's best to think clearly."
After saying something lightly, Zhong Yan lowered his head and looked at the three talismans, pursed his lips and began to think.
Yu Qingyao paused slightly and continued walking.
