Zhao Qing thought for a moment and then spoke solemnly.
"Zhao Qing swears an oath that he will never disclose his whereabouts to anyone without Zhou Xiaoyi's permission. If he violates this oath, he will be punished by heaven and earth!"
He realized that he must have accidentally gained insight into some secret.
But he didn't delve too deeply into it. This is not something that should be focused on now.
A special and obscure aura wrapped around Zhao Qing's chest, and the oath was fulfilled.
If the contract is broken, even if the disaster curse is not triggered, it will have a great impact on the practice.
The woman's expression relaxed and she raised her glass to Zhao Qing to drink the spirit wine together.
"Xueyilou is not interested in Xiaoyi's whereabouts, and there is no interest entanglement. Senior brother, don't blame me."
Zhao Qing picked up the wine glass, knocked it lightly on the corner of the table, and drank the spirit wine in one gulp. "Junior sister, let's talk about the situation within the sect."
Zhou Xiaoyi leaned forward, supporting her body with her long arms and leaning lightly on the table. Asked: "Senior brother, do you know why the Four Elephant Sect is hunting me, Danxia?"
"Prepare for Chu State's upcoming Lan Qing Gathering." Zhao Qing answered without changing his expression, but he didn't say much. He just showed the value of his information.
This surprised Zhou Xiaoyi. She took a deep look at Zhao Qing, then unconsciously played with the spiritual ring on her slender finger, and continued: "Danxia Sect and Sixiang Sect have been in charge of the southwest together for eighty years. Why the sudden attack at this moment?"
Zhao Qing glanced at the spiritual ring she was pointing at, and shook his head in a bachelor's manner: "This is also something I don't understand. Please ask my junior sister to clarify my doubts."
"Head Danxia is about to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and has been in seclusion for three years."
"Once the leader breaks through, the situation in the southwest will be changed. Therefore, the Sixiang Sect will make a desperate move and prepare to take advantage of Lan Qingji's opportunity to monopolize the southwest."
"The resources in the southwest are jointly determined by all the sects in Lan Qingji. After that, even if the leader is promoted to Nascent Soul, he will not be able to do anything to the four elephants' mountain-protecting spiritual formation. If he wants to retrieve the Lingshan mineral vein, he will have to wait for at least ten years."
"Ten years is enough time for Sixiangmen to make other plans."
The head of the Danxia Sect has gone into seclusion...
So it turned out that the fog in Zhao Qing's heart became a little clearer.
Then he asked: "Then the Danxia Sect still has two elders and more than a dozen inner sect brothers? Why are they allowed to be invaded by the Sixiang Sect?"
Zhou Xiaoyi showed a meaningful smile.
"Elder Qian is in the late stage of Jindan, and Elder Li has just entered Jindan. All affairs within the sect are naturally in charge of Elder Qian."
"Senior Brother Zhao, let me ask you. If you were Elder Qian, what should you do now?"
Now?
The Four Elephants Sect has bullied her right to the doorstep, and it must be Gante’s mother right now...
Zhao Qing's thoughts stopped for a moment and he realized something was wrong.
With my thoughts as a low-level handyman, I must keep the peace of the sect.
But what if it was that superior elder?
He couldn't help but think of the reminder from Huanyu Pavilion...
Seeing Zhao Qing's expression change in shock, the woman showed a mocking expression.
"Qian is still an elder after guarding the sect well. But if there is a mistake in the response, wouldn't he be blamed if the leader breaks out?"
Zhao Qing thought of something and his pupils trembled: "Junior sister, do you mean that Elder Qian will choose to surrender to the enemy and become a hero?"
Zhou Xiaoyi took a deep breath, her chest under Zhu Ziqingqing rose and fell slightly, and said: "It's not a hero, it's a great hero, it's the Supreme Elder!"
"Qian Hongwei, the elder of Sixiang Sect, kept a low profile and kept a low profile for decades. All his efforts were accomplished in one battle, helping Sixiang Sect determine the southwest of Ding..."
"This move completely opened up the situation for Sixiang Sect, and it also brought many alchemy masters. After Lan Qing gathered, the Sixiang Sect was the only one in the eight counties in the southwest. Even the Changsheng Sword Sect did not dare to underestimate it. Four images.”
"With this achievement, if the Four Elephants Sect has the opportunity to compete with the Chu State in the future, Qian Hong will retire and become a supreme elder. Is it too much?"
The woman's cold voice instantly broke through the fog and was deafening.
Bring investment to the enemy... Dingding Southwest... compete for the Chu Kingdom... retire with success!
Zhao Qing quickly grasped the stakes of the matter. What the hell is the difference between this and the Leading Party?
After a long silence, he suppressed the shock in his heart and relaxed slightly.
if it is like this……
That's great!
As long as it doesn't have a big impact on your family, it's not a big deal.
Elder Qian led people to run away, so there was no way he could hold a knife to the necks of a group of handymen. It had nothing to do with him at all.
As for the subsequent debate at Lan Qingzhi and the renegotiation of resources in the southwest, it was even more impossible to get along with him.
Not to mention that now there is an escape route in the Blood Clothes Building...
Zhou Xiaoyi showed doubts and looked at the senior brother whose lips were raised in front of her, wondering why.
"Senior brother seems... very happy?"
happy? Have it? no?
"cough."
Zhao Qing cleared his throat and said seriously: "I'm just worried about my own safety. Now that I understand the situation and can make plans in advance, I naturally feel a lot more relaxed."
The woman asked curiously: "What are your plans, senior brother? Should you follow Elder Qian and rise to great heights, or should you stick to Danxia and risk your fortune as the head of the family?"
What are my plans?
I have no plans.
"I, Zhao Qing, am just a handyman in the kitchen. Such important matters have nothing to do with me. I just want a place to live."
"Junior sister, why do you want to stick to Danxia? Isn't it a waste of your extremely talented people?"
Zhao Qing asked rhetorically.
From Zhou Xiaoyi's words, it is not difficult to see that she must not be on the same page as Elder Qian, otherwise how could she destroy her own family?
The woman's eyes showed unreasonable disgust, as if she had seen something disgusting.
Her voice was cold: "Senior brother, just take care of yourself."
Zhao Qing was scolded, but he didn't show any displeasure at all.
At least the situation in front of him became much clearer, which allowed him to relax his tense heartstrings.
"One more thing, does Junior Sister know what is in Shouyun Mountain?"
Zhou Xiaoyi shook her head directly: "Every month, extremely pure spiritual energy escapes, which causes the beast to be demonized for a short time. Maybe it is a powerful tomb or other important treasure, I don't know."
The woman directly put the wine glass on the table into the spiritual ring and reminded: "Brother, please don't forget the blood oath."
This is the time to see off guests.
Zhao Qing asked no more questions.
He stood up consciously and went to the door to put on his shoes. Then he thought of something and turned around and said, "Junior sister Zhou, this is the alchemist's business. Please keep it confidential."
Although the chaos is coming, it won't hurt even if others know about my situation.
But if Zhao Qingruo didn't ask for anything, he always felt like he was losing something...
"I'm not one of those talkative women in Caofang." Zhou Xiaoyi felt a little unhappy.
Who asked you if your tongue has grown longer?
Zhao Qing closed the red lacquered wooden door that he had just opened, turned around and chuckled: "I know that Junior Sister is aloof and arrogant, so naturally I don't bother to talk nonsense. But I keep the secret for Junior Sister, and Junior Sister should also abide by the agreement for me."
He pondered for a moment and then said: "What I mean is... we must abide by the agreement."
The woman's phoenix eyes were slightly raised, her silver teeth clenched, and she stared at Zhao Qing for a long time.
Finally, she raised her lotus-rooted arm and clasped her green fingers on her chest: "Zhou Xiaoyi swears that if she doesn't agree, she won't talk about Zhao Qing to anyone! If she violates this oath, my soul will be driven to pieces!"
Tsk, so cruel...
Zhao Qing left the cubicle with satisfaction under the other party's evil eyes.
