"You have something to ask me?"
Mei Tianjiao was slightly stunned. She had only met Qin Shi once in Yao Village, and they didn't even know each other. Why would Qin Shi have something to ask her?
Moreover, it was something that had puzzled her for a long time.
"Yes."
Qin Shi nodded his head respectfully. "Senior, were you the one who helped me in Yao Village?"
Mei Tianjiao nodded her head without hiding anything.
With the first question confirmed, Qin Shi's heart tensed up even more. He spoke again with a grave expression, "Then dare I ask Senior, were you the one who released your aura when I fought with the ferocious demon?"
"You fought with the ferocious demon?" Mei Tianjiao frowned and shook her head. "Wasn't Su Tiao the one facing you?
How did he become a ferocious demon? "
Qin Shi was shocked. "Senior only appeared in Yao Village when I fought with Su Tiao?"
"Yes."
Mei Tianjiao nodded her head. "For the past seventy years, I've been searching for evidence of Zhang Hun's crimes. That day, I was on my way back to the Sword Sect and felt an extremely powerful fluctuation of spirit energy from Yao Village, so I rushed over. I didn't expect to see you fighting with Su Tiao. Jian Qing and I have a grudge with Su Tiao, so we helped him and even exposed ourselves. In fact, Su Tiao already recognized me at that time."
When he heard this, Qin Shi felt disappointed. His black eyes dimmed as he lowered his head and muttered in his heart, "Looks like the one who forced Zhe Tian away back then was not elder Mei Tianjiao."
"I've already told you that although this girl's cultivation isn't bad, she can only be considered as a core force. It's impossible for her to force Zhe Tian to leave."
"But if it wasn't her, then who could it be?" Qin Shi was once again troubled by this question.
"Qin Shi, are you alright?" Jian Qing asked.
Qin Shi quivered and put his doubts aside. He dryly smiled. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Elder Jian Qing, let me toast you."
"Okay."
Jian Qing politely raised his cup and drained it in one gulp.
Qin Shi was a little disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted from Mei Tianjiao. He didn't say much in the following banquet. Most of the conversations he had with Jian Qing and the others were about family matters.
Jian Qing and Mei Tianjiao still firmly believed that with Qin Shi's current cultivation, he should be an elder or a chief disciple.
Qin Shi hurriedly shook his head in response to this. "Seniors, no matter what, I've only entered the Sword Sect for a year, and I'm still inexperienced. If I were to become an elder just like this, then I would more or less become the target of gossip. So, I think that we should put this matter aside for now."
"You stinking brat, I might have believed you if you had said this when you first joined the sect. But now, your prestige among the disciples is even higher than that of the Enforcement Hall's Long Tingyan. You dare to say that you are still inexperienced? I think that you are just lazy and unwilling to do it, right?"
Qin Shi felt a little awkward and embarrassed when Jian Qing spoke out his thoughts. He awkwardly scratched his head and didn't continue the conversation.
Fortunately, Mei Tianjiao helped him out. She glared at Jian Qing and rebuked, "That's enough. Why are you making things difficult for Qin Shi if he doesn't want to do it?
Moreover, if something really happens in the Sword Sect, isn't he always at the forefront?
It's understandable that a kid isn't used to being restrained and those complicated rules. "
As soon as Mei Tianjiao finished speaking, Jian Qing clearly weakened. "Yes, yes, yes. Tianjiao is right."
When Qin Shi saw this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Stinking brat, what are you laughing at?" Jian Qing's face turned red and his eyes widened.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Like teacher like disciple."
"Stinking brat, you're looking for a beating!" Jian Qing's face turned red and he wanted to grab Qin Shi.
With a whoosh, Qin Shi hurriedly circled behind Mei Tianjiao. This made Jian Qing unable to do anything, causing Mei Tianjiao to cover her face with a smile.
Just like this, Qin Shi only left Yu Yue's residence in the evening.
When he left, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He originally thought that he would be able to obtain some information about what happened in Yao Village from Mei Tianjiao. In the end, it was like drawing water with a sieve.
"Kid, you don't have to sigh. I think that person's appearance is not a coincidence. As long as you and Team Bi continue to fight, he will appear again sooner or later."
"I guess that's the only way."
Qin Shi curled his lips and looked up at the starry sky.
The clouds and mist in the sky that had just entered the night sky set off the millions of twinkling stars, making it look extremely lifelike.
In the Book of Changes, Qin Shi let out a long sigh. "Mountains and rivers, the vast galaxy. Compared to them, I am really insignificant."
"No one can compare to the heavens and earth."
Qin Shi nodded, and then his black eyes focused. His pupils suddenly flickered with a ghastly coldness. He exhaled and said, "Phew, I've rested for some time.
It's time to get down to business. "
Finished speaking, he wrapped the black robe tightly around himself and disappeared into the night sky with a whoosh.
Along the way, his speed was extremely fast. After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, he arrived before a purple room.
This room was Zi Lingsha's residence in the Sword Sect.
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
"Who is it?" After the knock, an ethereal voice sounded out from the room.
This sentence caused Qin Shi to be slightly embarrassed. "It's me!"
Creak!
After a moment of silence, the door was opened, and a graceful and beautiful figure immediately entered Qin Shi's eyes. The beautiful figure wore a light purple and loose nightgown. Her beautiful hair was like a waterfall that scattered on her shoulders, and there were still faint droplets of water dripping down from it. From this, it could be seen that Zi Lingsha had just finished washing up.
Looking at the peerlessly beautiful picture in front of him, Qin Shi was a hot-blooded young man after all, and his blood more or less burned slightly.
The funniest thing was that he didn't know if the heavens were intentionally playing tricks on him, but a droplet of water dripped down from between Zi Lingsha's hair, and it just happened to fall on the two peaks on her chest. The water droplet caused the light purple nightgown to become translucent, and the two white rabbits hidden within it were faintly discernible.
"Gulp!" Qin Shi couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his lips and tongue were dry.
"Have you seen enough?"
All of a sudden, Zi Lingsha snorted slightly angrily.
This woke Qin Shi up, and he reluctantly moved his black eyes away from the soft breasts. He licked the corner of his mouth and said awkwardly, "Err … that, that, I didn't mean it."
Zi Lingsha originally pretended to be angry, but then she suddenly couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Pfft …!"
Immediately, she teased, "Which part of my body haven't you seen? You even learned to be embarrassed."
Hearing Zi Lingsha's words, Qin Shi was even more embarrassed. When he thought of the conclusion in the Divine Realm, Zi Lingsha's naked body healing him in the deep pool, he felt as if his face was burning hot.
"Tell me, why did you come to me so late at night?" Zi Lingsha tilted her head, dried her wet hair with a towel, and said, "Why?
Could it be that he was enlightened?
But let me tell you in advance, I'm not that kind of girl. If you can't give me a status, don't even think about having me. I'll die in front of you. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi's face was gloomy, and his heart was full of helplessness. Zi Lingsha's character really made him speechless.
"Hmph, you're not saying anything? How can you admit defeat?
Forget it, I'm a magnanimous person, and I won't joke with you anymore. Let's talk in the room, "seeing that Qin Shi didn't speak for a long time, Zi Lingsha made a face and moved half of her body away.
Only then did Qin Shi let out a sigh of relief and entered the boudoir.
Of course, during this process, he didn't notice the extreme disappointment and sadness in the deepest part of Zi Lingsha's jade-like eyes.
Zi Lingsha closed the door and gestured for Qin Shi to sit on the bed. Then, she poured a cup of fragrant matcha and passed it to Qin Shi.
"Tell me, you're looking for me so late at night, you can't really want me to accompany you, right?
I'm not going to wait on you. "
Qin Shi's face was full of black lines. He avoided this topic and nodded: "Yes, I'm here to ask you. You said you had something to tell me before. Is there news about Ma Group?"
"Hmph, I knew it."
Zi Lingsha rolled her eyes. Then, with a twist of her slender hand, an image formed from spiritual energy was thrown out.
That image was of an ancient room, and in the middle of it were three figures. When Qin Shi saw the figures, his eyes immediately turned cold.
This was because the three figures were wearing blood-red robes, which Qin Shi would never forget for the rest of his life.
"Where is this place?" It was obvious that the three figures were members of the Ma group. Qin Shi shouted in an agitated manner.
"Why are you so emotional?" Zi Lingsha glared at him, then said: "This place is called You Court Palace."
"You Court Palace?" Qin Shi slightly narrowed his eyes.
Zi Lingsha lightly nodded her head: "Yes, the You Court is located three thousand li southwest of my Refinement Realm. This force has already attached itself to my Refinement Realm for nearly ten thousand people. It is one of the three great forces in my Refinement Realm."
"Attached to the Refining Realm for nearly ten thousand years?" Qin Shi was very surprised.
"Yes, I can't be sure right now. This You Court Palace is the base of Ma Group in the human world. However, there are definitely people from Ma Group mixed in here."
"Is that so?" Qin Shi was silent for a while, thinking alone.
Zi Lingsha paused for a while, then said: "What do you plan to do?"
Stretching his waist, Qin Shi said: "No matter what, let's go to this You Court Palace first. If this You Court Palace is the base of Ma Group in the human world, then we'll uproot them."
"What if it isn't?"
"If it isn't, then we'll get rid of the mixed Ma Group and see if we can get more information from them."
Zi Lingsha nodded: "Yes, that's a good idea."
"Hmph, Ma Group, for eight whole years, I've always been in the light and you've always been in the dark. This time, it's my turn to take the initiative." Qin Shi's black eyes flashed with cold light.
Zi Lingsha said again: "Then when do you plan to leave?
Now? "
Qin Shi shook his head: "No rush, I still have some things to do. Let's leave in three days."
Thinking about it, Zi Lingsha nodded: "Alright, then come find me in three days. I'll go with you. I've been to the You Court Palace twice, so I'm more or less familiar with it."
Qin Shi smiled knowingly and nodded.
