Qiu Fei was confused.
Is it possible that my name has spread to the elixir shop?
Even an ordinary guard here knows?
The problem is, I don’t seem to have done anything.
Just when Qiu Fei was puzzled, the guard who inspected returned the nameplate to Qiu Fei and walked into the next room.
Another guard continued to ask Qiu Fei, "Junior brother, what are you doing here at the Spiritual Medicine Shop?"
In addition to being older than Qiu Fei, the two guards had only reached the seventh level of the Yin Yuan Realm, but their voices were stiff and their expressions were arrogant.
Qiu Fei told the truth, "Qiu came to visit Senior Sister Zhou Ziyuan."
"Senior Sister Zhou Ziyuan?"
The guard was shocked when he heard this, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "This junior brother, it turns out that he came to see Senior Sister Zhou. He has offended me a lot."
The speed of this face change must be too fast.
Qiu Fei was stunned for a while.
It can be seen that Zhou Ziyuan's status in the elixir shop is extraordinary, otherwise, these guards would not be so groveling and trying their best to please.
However, Qiu Fei's reaction was also very quick, with a smile on his lips, "Senior Sister Zhou and I are fellow townsmen of Fengyun City, and we have some connections."
In a sect, apart from the compatibility of being a master, another thing that can increase the friendship between disciples is the compatibility of being from the same hometown.
When the guard heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter, "Junior Brother Qiu, Senior Sister Zhou lives in Building A, No. 5, and you can see her after entering the canyon."
Qiu Fei thanked him and was about to step into the formation.
At this moment, a loud voice sounded in the air, "Who is so bold as to dare to make a noise here?"
This voice is so familiar.
Qiu Fei couldn't help but frowned, "This kid is really everywhere!"
A tall, handsome young man walked out of the valley. As soon as he arrived, he exuded a powerful aura.
The visitor was an old acquaintance.
But Qiu Fei was not familiar with him. He only met him several times because of Zhou Ziyuan.
He is Zhou Ziyuan's fellow disciple Fang Xinhou.
In Qiu Fei's eyes, he is Zhou Ziyuan's follower, and wherever Zhou Ziyuan appears, he is always there.
During the last sect competition, Qiu Fei didn't see him, but he wasn't used to it, so he couldn't help but ask Zhou Ziyuan about it.
According to Zhou Ziyuan, this kid has gone into seclusion and is attacking the ninth level of the Yin Yuan Realm.
Judging from the powerful aura emanating from his body, this kid should have successfully broken through and been promoted to the ninth level of the Hidden Yuan Realm.
I can't tell that this guy's qualifications are so good.
That's right, if you are not outstanding, how can you be accepted as a disciple by the elders of the inner sect?
Qiu Fei sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the guard who just walked out of the room.
He was also looking at Qiu Fei, with a strange smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
Qiu Fei understood.
It was this kid who tipped off the news, so how could Fang Xinhou appear here so coincidentally.
"Senior Brother Fang is here!"
Seeing Fang Houxin's arrival, the guard who tipped him off immediately stepped forward to greet him with a charming smile on his face.
Fang Houxin glanced at him, his expression unchanged, but he responded with a soft "hmm" in his nose.
The guard pointed at Qiu Fei and asked for credit in a flattering manner, "Reply to Senior Brother Fang, this guy is looking for Senior Sister Zhou."
"Qiu Fei?"
As soon as Fang Houxin's eyes fell on Qiu Fei, they immediately became extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through his mind like a knife.
"You still have the nerve to come to the elixir shop? Do you know that if it weren't for you, Junior Sister Zhou would have suffered so much injustice!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Houxin criticized Qiu Fei as soon as he came up.
Qiu Fei was suddenly stunned.
Did I harm Zhou Ziyuan?
Where to start with this!
The sudden news shocked Qiu Fei. In shock, he quickly calmed down.
He peeked at Fang Houxin's expression, his anger was very obvious, and it didn't look like he was faking it.
And when he mentioned Zhou Ziyuan's name, he couldn't help but reveal a hint of tenderness in his eyes.
There was a moment of silence.
Qiu Fei asked in a deep voice: "Senior Brother Fang, what happened to Senior Sister Zhou? She was saved by Yu Qiu, how could I harm her?"
Fang Houxin snorted coldly, with frost on his face, "Before the sect competition, are your meridians damaged and do you need black jade pills for treatment?"
Qiu Fei nodded numbly.
Could it be related to this?
A look of anger immediately appeared on Fang Houxin's face, and he shouted loudly: "There happens to be a black jade pill in Lingdan Pavilion, but Junior Sister Zhou does not have the ability to buy it.
In order to save you, Junior Sister Zhou asked the Master, but the Master did not agree.
The stubborn Junior Sister Zhou knelt in front of Master's cave for a whole day and night, crying until her heart broke, and finally moved Master.
However, Master also made a condition, and Junior Sister Zhou didn't even listen, so she agreed without hesitation. "
"What conditions?"
Qiu Fei couldn't help but ask.
Fang Houxin glanced at him and said sadly: "Master and Junior Sister Zhou agreed that Master would help her buy black jade pills in exchange for Junior Sister Zhou stationed in Wuya Valley for ten years.
Tell me, if it wasn't you who harmed Junior Sister Zhou, who else could it be? "
Cliffless Valley?
Qiu Fei has never heard of it.
When he heard the name, it sounded like a dangerous place. Thinking of Zhou Ziyuan being in such a dangerous place, Qiu Fei's heart twitched.
He couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Fang, where is Wuya Valley? Is it dangerous? Is Junior Sister Zhou's life in danger?"
"snort!"
Fang Houxin snorted, "Wuya Valley is a place where the sect specializes in cultivating rare spiritual medicinal materials. It is a forbidden area of the spiritual medicine workshop and only alchemists can enter."
As long as there is no danger.
Qiu Fei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Where rare and spiritual medicinal materials are cultivated, the sect will naturally strengthen management and only allow alchemists to enter. This is also to protect the rare medicinal materials.
This is normal.
But, what does this have to do with Zhou Ziyuan going in to garrison?
Why did Fang Houxin say that I harmed her?
Seeing Qiu Fei's confused look, Fang Houxin snorted again, "Of course you don't know how much Junior Sister Zhou paid to save you.
During these ten years, she will be stationed alone in Wuya Valley, accompanied by the elixir every day, and live an isolated life.
She cannot step out of Wuya Valley, let alone have any contact with the outside world.
In addition, according to the agreement, she was to plant ten rare medicinal plants for the master. If one plant was missing, it would be regarded as a breach of contract and she would be severely punished by the master. "
"Isolated from the world! Isn't this imprisonment?"
Qiu Fei was surprised.
How could a young girl of blooming age endure such suffering without any contact with the outside world for ten years?
"Do you think 'Black Jade Pill' is that good?"
There was a hint of contempt on Fang Houxin's face, "Qiu, if you are still a man, you should leave the elixir shop wisely and let Junior Sister Zhou live out these ten years in peace and contentment, and successfully complete the agreement she made with Master."
Sure enough, there is no such thing as unreasonable kindness in this world.
Qiu Fei's mind kept replaying every detail of his relationship with Zhou Ziyuan in the past year.
In Qiu Fei's view, he and Zhou Ziyuan were only casual acquaintances. In fact, before joining the Guxuan Sect, the two had never crossed paths.
He didn't even know there was such a magical girl.
Zhou Ziyuan seemed to know him and approached him intentionally.
Otherwise, she would not have told herself the elixir "Po Ling Pill" that solved the difficulty of cultivating the five spiritual roots in the city lord's mansion.
After joining the Ancient Xuanmen, he agreed for the first time to go to the library to look up the books for him, looking for clues to the disappearance of his parents.
And for the food of "Brother Hei", she went to the jungle to hunt monsters.
How can such a variety of things be explained by just a casual acquaintance.
Not to mention, in order to buy "Black Jade Pills" to treat herself, she had to turn to her master and agree to the harsh conditions proposed by him.
I don’t want to not know.
After thinking about it carefully, Qiu Fei was shocked.
In the nearly a year since the two knew each other, Zhou Ziyuan had silently done so many things for herself without even realizing it.
And what about yourself?
I didn’t do anything, I just enjoyed myself and enjoyed myself belatedly, taking it for granted.
Not even as good as a girl, damn it!
Qiu Fei cursed himself in his heart and felt ashamed.
Today, if I hadn't thought of giving her a few spiritual herbs and came to the spiritual medicine shop to look for her, I would never have known what happened to her.
Qiu Fei felt that he should do something for Zhou Ziyuan.
Looking at Fang Houxin, Qiu Fei said sincerely: "Senior Brother Fang, what should Qiu do to see Senior Sister Zhou?"
"It's impossible."
An impatient look appeared on Fang Houxin's face, "Master is a man of promises. Once a promise is made, there is no possibility of changing it."
As he spoke, his eyes moved flexibly, and he suddenly burst out laughing, "However, there is nothing we can do, unless..."
At this point, he paused intentionally.
"Unless what?"
Qiu Fei asked anxiously.
A glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
At this moment, Qiu Fei had only one thought in his mind, that is, as long as he could get Zhou Ziyuan out of Wuya Valley, he would do anything for her.
"unless……"
Fang Houxin's voice became long and ethereal, "Unless you sincerely kneel down and beg Master to take back your life.
And brought out a gift that moved her, maybe... there was still a chance. "
Zhou Ziyuan had sacrificed so much for herself. For her, it was natural and not inappropriate for him to kneel down and beg her master.
Qiu Fei can definitely do this.
However, it was difficult for Qiu Fei to come up with a gift that would impress the other party.
He didn't know Master Zhou Ziyuan's nature and couldn't do what he liked.
In addition, his status as a new disciple meant that he did not have the financial resources to buy expensive items.
Think for a moment.
Qiu Fei asked: "Senior Brother Fang, I wonder where Master lives and what his preferences are? Qiu should be prepared."
Seeing Qiu Fei's intention to comply with his request, Fang Houxin's face showed a rare smile.
He frowned, thinking deeply, "Junior Brother Qiu, it's not that Senior Brother Fang doesn't want to help you, it's really powerless.
I have only been in the school for a short time, and I don’t know much about Master’s preferences. "
Qiu Fei couldn't tell whether Fang Houxin's words were true or false.
However, Qiu Fei didn't expect to get the answer from him.
Based on his limited understanding of Fang Houxin, every time he saw Zhou Ziyuan interacting with him, he would have such a look of hatred that he wanted to eat him alive.
At this moment, I was wondering how to laugh at myself.
