"That's a shame, isn't it?" Yue Qingru looked puzzled: "Since the geographical location is so advantageous, why do we need to disband them?"
Gu Changnian shook his head. This was his first time in Liangzhou and he didn't know much about the situation.
As they walked along the streets of the city, they looked at the vendors on both sides of the street and found them a little strange.
The goods sold in the market here include not only daily items, but also spiritual stones, magic weapons and other supplies for cultivators. The cultivators who are ordinary in the eyes of ordinary people seem to be everywhere here.
He Qing randomly found a stall and went over, picked up a bowl, looked at it and said with a smile: "It really is something."
Although this bowl may not be a high-quality product, it does have some spiritual energy and is more than enough to catch a small demon or something.
Lu Li was beside He Qing. He picked up a book of laws and flipped through the pages while saying nonchalantly, "Even the foundation-building book has something to say."
The vendor looked at He Qing and the others for a long time, with a smile on his face: "Oh, I can see that you are experts. The treasures here are all good quality and cheap. You will make a profit if you buy them. How about I introduce them to you?"
He Qing smiled and declined: "Let's just take a look."
Seeing that He Qing didn't buy anything, the vendor didn't get angry and waved his hand cheerfully: "That's fine, take your time to look around, you won't be able to buy a fake one in the entire Liangzhou City." Then he asked tentatively in a slightly flattering manner: "I see that you have a good cultivation base, are you the distinguished guests of Master Qiguan's family?"
"Qi Guan?" He Qing vaguely remembered this uncommon surname, which was from a family of immortal cultivators that appeared in the classics she had read. She shook her head and said, "No, I was just passing by."
As he was speaking, a paper crane flew straight towards He Qing. The sound transmission was concealed by magic, so ordinary people could not see it. It was not convenient for He Qing to listen to it in front of so many people on the road, so he turned it into a piece of paper to check.
Yue Qingru stood on tiptoe and asked curiously, "Master, who sent it?"
"Master Lingfeng from Tianshu Mountain." He Qing quickly read the note and took it, then asked the vendor, "Excuse me, where is the residence of the Qi official you just mentioned?"
The vendor was speechless for a moment: Didn't you just say you were just passing by
?
The Qi family's mansion is located in the best location in Liangzhou City. Even though He Qing has only a vague understanding of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams formation, he can still see the exquisiteness of the site selection.
The gate of Qi Guan's mansion looked roughly the same as that of an ordinary wealthy family, except that there were some runes and seals attached to the lower right corner of the door plaque "Qi Guan's Mansion", faintly flashing with a golden light that only monks could see.
Standing outside the mansion gate, Gu Changnian, who had been hesitating all the way, finally couldn't help but remind him: "Master, this Qi Guanjia...what's the important matter?"
He Qing didn't look at him, but just looked up at the door plaque and said, "I'm here to bring a message to the head of Qi Guan's family, entrusted by Xuan Qing Zhenren." After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at him: "What's the matter?"
Gu Changnian looked embarrassed: "This year, when the mountain gate was opened, there was a disciple who came to participate in the selection, and he was from the Qi family."
"Oh? What a coincidence?" He Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise, put his hands in his pockets, looked away, and stepped onto the stairs: "Who did you become his disciple in the end?"
Seeing that He Qing was about to knock on the door, Gu Changnian quickly said, "He has been eliminated."
Hearing this, He Qing really stopped and turned to look at him: "What?"
Gu Changnian said with a bit of embarrassment: "Because he criticized you in front of the mountain gate, he had already come to the main hall, but was finally eliminated."
"Hmm," He Qing recalled with his chin in his hand, muttering, "It seems that there is such a thing." Then he turned around and raised his voice with magic: "I am He Qing, the head of the Yaoguang Sect, and I have come to pay a special visit to the head of the Qi Guan family."
Gu Changnian: ...Master, you don't seem to be worried at all.
After a while, a doorman came out of the gatehouse, took a quick look at He Qing, and saluted, "It turns out that it is Master He Qing who has come. Please wait a moment, I will go and inform the master."
Before the servant finished speaking, a handsome man in bamboo green gown, who looked to be about thirty years old, hurried out from behind the stone screen inside the door.
After meeting He Qing, the man seemed a little excited and incredulous and said: "He Qing...it's really you!"
"Ah?" He Qing was stunned: "You are..."
"I'm Qi Guanrui," Qi Guanrui said with a look of surprise on his face, "We met at the Immortal Sect Conference forty years ago."
Is this someone the original owner knew? There is no mention of this in the book. He Qing was a little nervous, but then she thought, it doesn't matter, since it is not mentioned in the book, but she has encountered many things…
After adjusting his mentality, He Qing forced a smile and replied in a proper manner: "Oh, I have been down the mountain since I was young. What happened forty years ago is indeed a long time ago."
"Yes, it's been exactly forty years..." Qi Guanrui's eyes were always on He Qing's face, and he murmured with emotion: "But what happened that day seems like yesterday to me."
Yue Qingru's ears immediately stood up like antennas: Master has something going on with this guy? !
Gu Changnian frowned slightly: What happened between Master and him?
Lu Li watched coldly: Ha, woman.
He Qing suddenly felt several strange gazes coming from behind him, one of which was filled with dissatisfaction that was about to break through the sky. He couldn't help but said with a sweat dripping down his back: "Ah, no, what do you mean by what happened that day? You need to explain clearly."
Qi Guanrui was slightly startled, then smiled sadly: "It seems that you really forgot about me. Forty years ago, Grandpa was invited to Lingshan to watch the Immortal Sect Conference, and I went there too. At that time, several sword energies rushed to the stands on the martial arts stage, and you saved me."
Now He Qing understood. It turned out that he was the one who fell in love with the original owner at first sight.
He Qing didn't know much about this person.
The first time was when the original owner confessed in the dead of night that her obsession with Gu Changnian was unacceptable to the world. Even if the only person who loved her knew about it, he would probably not be able to understand it.
The second and last time was when the narration said that after the original owner, who had already had a bad reputation among the immortals, died, a man dressed in plain clothes went to the place where she died to pay her respects.
As for more stories, they will probably be presented in the extra chapters.
Including what happened when they first met.
At that moment, He Qing was a little panicked.
Others might just think that her temperament has changed a little, but if it's her lover, she will be able to find something wrong at a glance, right?
He Qing was silent for a moment, unable to find a safe answer, so he simply changed the subject: "Oh, I came here this time, entrusted by Xuan Qing Zhenren of Tianshumen, to meet the head of your family."
