Chapter 2062: Invite the Master to Be a Guest
Immortal Yulin and Huo Jiujian were acquaintances, and they even talked about old things, seeming to be quite familiar with each other.
However, Qu Jianlei knew very well that this kind of politeness was for others to see.
It is really hard to say what the relationship between the two is like. It is very likely that they are just casual acquaintances.
They are all people who have lived to a certain age and have a high status. Who wouldn't just go through the motions?
If the relationship is really that good, would City Lord Huo take the initiative to intervene in this matter?
So Qu Jianlei spoke up to express his opinion, so as to save Huo Jiujian from being embarrassed.
Huo Jiujian didn't show any surprise at his volunteering, but nodded naturally.
"Okay then, go ahead and try not to get physical."
Qu Jianlei disappeared in a flash, and soon after, Qi Ya Zhenxian followed him out - this was the reaction a servant should have.
Jing Yuexin glanced at them and said, "It's best not to move. Someone might die."
In such an extraordinary moment, it is not wrong to try to be concise, and her task is to keep things calm.
Yulin Zhenxian and the other two did not go far. They stopped after walking only a little over a hundred kilometers, and then contacted Huo Jiujian with their spiritual consciousness.
Her relationship with City Lord Huo was really like that, but when they met, City Lord Huo was still in the Star Palace.
In other words, the identities of the two people are not that different.
Master Yulin mainly wanted to figure out what had happened that made City Lord Huo dare to confront the Book Pavilion.
However, when she saw two white lines shooting towards her, she couldn't help but sigh, "You two... get out of the way."
"What happened?" Zhang Lidong asked regardless of the consequences. It was no secret in the library that he was destined to be on a different path from Kun Xiu.
Master Yulin glanced at him, his face darkened, "I asked you to stay away... Don't you understand?"
The library attaches great importance to seniority and hierarchy. It is natural for the teacher to scold the lecturer. If the lecturer dares to talk back, he would be rebelling.
No matter how unwilling Zhang Lidong felt, he could only obey at this time.
So when Qu Jianlei and Qi Ya arrived, they only saw a Kun Xiu Yuanying standing under a tree in the rain.
The first to speak was Immortal Yulin, but she was not addressing Qu Jianlei, but Qi Ya, "Sword Cultivator Nascent Soul?"
But Qi Ya was not ignorant. She didn't say a word and simply retreated behind Qu Jianlei.
However, Immortal Yulin still stared at her, raised his hand and released a shield to block the sound, "Dongsheng Sword Cultivator, Fellow Daoist Qiya?"
Qu Jianlei had a blank expression on his face, and a strange light flashed in Qi Ya's eyes.
After a few breaths, Qi Ya Zhenxian sighed softly, "It would be great if you could be a little more stupid?"
At this moment, she didn't want to explain anything, nor did she ask the other party why.
With such status, who would speak nonsense? Who can afford the consequences of speaking nonsense?
"This attitude..." Master Yulin was a little speechless and a little amused, "You want to do something to me?"
Outside Zhongzhou are all remote and poor areas, and the Taoist traditions of cultivation are not even that good, not to mention that the other party in Dongsheng is just a casual cultivator.
And Shuge is listed as one of the four sacred mountains in Zhongzhou, so even if they are both Nascent Souls, the difference between them is immeasurable.
"We... have no intention of killing anyone," Qi Ya turned her head to look at Qu Jianlei, and then said, "I would like to invite the Master to be my guest for a while."
"Haha," Master Yulin smiled indifferently, then turned to look at Qu Jianlei, "Fellow Daoist, are you the Qu Ling Master of Red Leaf Ridge?"
"Alas," Qu Jianlei sighed and said calmly, "You have disrupted our plan. Disaster is not far away for Zhongzhou."
"This..." Immortal Yulin was a little speechless, because she knew that this might really be the case.
After a few pauses, she spoke again, "I can keep the secret."
Qu Jianlei nodded slightly when he heard this, then waved his hand, "Then go ahead."
He never wanted to test people's hearts, but at this moment he had no better choice but to bet on the other party's character.
After all, he is a teacher in the library and he hasn't done anything wrong. Can you really do anything to him?
Qu Jianlei felt that if he really did that, City Lord Huo would most likely come forward to plead for him.
Master Yulin was stunned for a moment, feeling a little unbelievable, "So happy... without any restrictions?"
"Restriction... is meaningful?" Qu Jianlei smiled indifferently, "If you can't do it, it will affect the entire Zhongzhou."
"That's true," Immortal Yulin thought for a moment and nodded.
Based on her understanding of Hongye Ridge, this force possesses too many things that Zhongzhou urgently needs - or even does not have at all.
The people in the library have always been arrogant. What they can look up to are only the other three sacred mountains, and the Star Palace is almost as good as them.
Master Yulin has heard about Hongye Ridge for quite some time, but he has never taken it seriously. The library is not sensitive to information from the outside world.
Until she heard about the great battle between Hongyeling and the demon, she was a little skeptical.
Killing hundreds of Yuanying Heavenly Demons in one battle? Don’t be ridiculous. The cultivators from other states are becoming more and more boastful.
No matter which force it is, if they have this strength, they would have come to Zhongzhou long ago - the environment in other states cannot accommodate this kind of cultivation needs.
Later, Zhongzhou encountered more and more infiltrations from demons, and even the Star Palace began to actively contact Hongye Ridge, so she began to take it seriously.
Master Yulin may look down on the secularized Star Palace, but she still approves of the vision of those people.
When she began to collect information about Hongye Ridge, most people in the cabinet thought that her reaction was a bit strange.
The arrogance of the people in the library comes from the heart, and they have enough reasons to be arrogant, even if the demons are about to invade.
It is normal for such a huge force that has been passed down for too long, accustomed to not caring about worldly affairs and studying the classics for a lifetime to make such a misjudgment.
Although Immortal Yulin realized it relatively late, she also had the spirit of research that was common among the people in the library.
The more information she collected, the more surprised she was, and then she would collect more information.
After a pause, she asked, "The strength of the demon invasion in Dongsheng...is much smaller?"
"You've been asking me questions all day long," Qu Jianlei replied in a deep voice, "The free intelligence time... is over!"
"Okay," Immortal Yulin nodded, "What do I need to pay as the cost of the information?"
"A treasure that is not available in the world," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "or...a top-grade spiritual stone."
“Ji Ling… you really are,” Master Yulin shook his head helplessly, “There aren’t many book pavilions, and this is beyond my ability to pay.”
"That's a pity," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "The rare treasures we need must also be of the highest quality spiritual stone level."
Immortal Yulin nodded upon hearing this, then sighed, "Don't you think your standards are a bit too high?"
"So we don't contact the small forces in Zhongzhou," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "They don't have what we want."
"If the Book Pavilion is only at this level, then I really don't see the necessity of the transaction."
Master Yulin replied sternly, "I told you that the library has countless treasures, but how can you use the most powerful calculations to calculate such a small piece of information?"
"Knowledge is priceless, and so is news," Qu Jianlei answered casually, "If it was just ordinary news, why would you ask me?"
Immortal Yulin thought for a moment and then said, "Don't you want to know how I determined your identity?"
"This information can be exchanged," Qu Jianlei nodded, "Go ahead."
Master Yulin said that your identities were not difficult to guess at all. "That Immortal Yongheng founded the Five Something Alliance, right?"
She couldn't even remember the name of the Five Friends Alliance, but this business alliance had been selling probes from Red Leaf Ridge for some time.
Now that Immortal Yongheng is colluding with the people who buy the stones, it is easy to imagine something related.
Yulin didn't think of this at first. Even though she saw more than a dozen unfamiliar Nascent Souls, she first suspected the other three holy mountains.
It was not until she left the place that she suddenly thought of the strange Kun Xiu Yuanying sword cultivator.
Yulin is the teacher of the library, but the atmosphere of male superiority and female inferiority in the library is very serious, which is not something she can change on her own.
No one dared to say this openly in front of her, but that was all.
In fact, there are many more Qian Xiu Yuanying in Zhongzhou than Kun Xiu Yuanying, but Immortal Yulin just doesn't accept it.
It just so happened that she liked to study the way of the sword. Although she was not a sword practitioner, she had extraordinary attainments in swordplay and often discussed swordplay with others.
She knew too many sword cultivators in Zhongzhou, had seen almost all of the Kun cultivators who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and also knew many Kun cultivators who had reached the Golden Core stage.
She had known about the fact that there was a Kun cultivator in Dongsheng named Qi Ya, who was also a sword cultivator.
Recently, Qi Ya entered Hongye Ridge as an attendant, and this news has also spread in Zhongzhou.
Moreover, Master Yulin had also heard of Qi Ya's general appearance and aura, and it was very similar to that of this Nascent Soul Kun Xiu.
She had not considered the direction of Hongye Ridge before, and now as she reverses the process with the results, there will only be more and more doubts.
Especially since Huo Jiujian took the initiative to expel Shu Ge, she was a little confused: When did this guy become so reckless?
Her relationship with Huo Jiujian was indeed average, but she knew what kind of person he was. He liked to plan before taking action and was not reckless.
A single piece of evidence is not enough, but when all the doubts are put together, the evidence can be considered solid.
There are also rumors that Hongyeling has an extraterrestrial inheritance, so those light-related techniques naturally have a source.
Therefore, when Fairy Yulin called out Qi Ya's name, it was not really a trick, she was 99% sure.
When the other party hides behind Immortal Qian Xiuzhen, it will be confirmed.
We are both Nascent Soul cultivators, and also ruthless sword cultivators. Why are we hiding behind people?
All I can say is that the difference in their identities is too great, and they are not even in a superior-subordinate relationship.
After Master Yulin finished explaining, Qu Jianlei nodded calmly, "So there are so many clues."
There were some factors he had not thought of, but for the vast majority, he knew them all. All he could say was that the key to success was to be serious.
Then he answered very straightforwardly, "The intensity of the demon invasion in Dongsheng has indeed been reduced a lot. I am sure of this."
Master Yulin noticed his last sentence, "Why are you so sure?"
Qu Jianlei kept silent and raised his hand to hook his fingers: If you want to know... bring Ji Ling here.
