Upon hearing Zuo Sisi's words, Qinchuan and Zuo Lingling were both stupefied. The two of them stared at Zuo Sisi in disbelief. They really didn't expect that Zuo Sisi would actually come up with such a rotten idea like a fake marriage in order to get Qinchuan to participate in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange!
Faced with Qinchuan and Zuo Lingling's disbelieving gazes, Zuo Sisi also realized that the words she had said earlier were somewhat inappropriate. She turned around and walked outside, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"My goodness, brother, you're definitely the most awesome stowaway I've ever seen. The dignified president of Caesar City's Talisman Formation Master Association actually took the initiative to marry you and become your wife!" Wang Fei gave Qinchuan a thumbs up and sighed with emotion. "Brother, you're awesome!
I admire you! "
Qinchuan rolled his eyes and couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Wang Fei. He turned to look at Zuo Lingling and asked, "Can I go to your guild's library to read now?
Also, I have some questions I want to ask you. "
Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Zuo Lingling came back to her senses. She let out a long sigh of relief and said to Qinchuan, "I'll take you to the library. If you have any questions, you can ask me on the way."
As she spoke, Zuo Lingling turned to look at Wang Fei and warned him, "As for you, I'll arrange for someone to escort you out of the guild. You're not allowed to speak of anything you've seen or heard today. If you dare to speak, you're dead!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Fei hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and nodded vigorously. What a joke! Today's matter concerned so many important figures. If he dared to speak carelessly, then he would truly be tired of living!
After dealing with Wang Fei's matter, Zuo Lingling led Qinchuan to the library. On the way to the library, Zuo Lingling sighed and said to Qinchuan, "You want to ask why my sister and I are so insistent on inviting you to represent our guild in the Talisman Formation Master Exchange, right?"
Qinchuan nodded and said to Zuo Lingling, "This is indeed a question I want to ask."
Hearing this, Zuo Lingling's face gradually revealed a trace of grief. She explained to Qinchuan in a soft voice, "This Talisman Array Master Association in Heath City was founded by me and my elder sister's father. My father was a great and outstanding Talisman Array Master. Before he was a hundred years old, he was already a fifth-rank Talisman Array Master, the best in the Seine State. Under my father's leadership, the Talisman Array Master Association in Heath City gradually grew stronger and gradually became one of the top ten Talisman Array Master Associations in the Seine State. However, the good times didn't last long. Due to an accident, my father went missing.
After searching for him for a long time, we couldn't find him. "At this point, Zuo Lingling sighed and continued," Without my father's support, the Talisman Array Master Association in Heath City was greatly affected. Geniuses were constantly lost, and the experts of the older generation were poached by other guilds. The entire Heath City's Talisman Array Master Association quickly became a leaky sieve. "
"The loss of geniuses and experts of the older generation caused our Heath City's Talisman Array Master Association to lose its position as one of the top ten Talisman Array Master Associations. My elder sister and I participated in two consecutive Talisman Formation Master Exchange, but we were never able to get into the top ten. If our Heath City's Talisman Array Master Association fails to enter the top ten again this time, we will be stripped of our title as one of the top ten Talisman Array Master Associations and become mediocre."
"Because of this, my elder sister had no choice but to find our Heath City's Talisman Array Master Andre. She wanted to ask Andre to help us through this difficult time. However, Andre made an excessive request to my elder sister. If you hadn't appeared, my elder sister might have had no choice but to agree to Andre's request in order to keep her title as one of the top ten Talisman Array Masters."
"It was also because I was worried that my elder sister would agree to Andre's request that I brought you and barged into the meeting room."
After hearing Zuo Lingling's explanation, Qinchuan asked with some doubt, "Is the title of one of the top ten Talisman Array Masters that important?"
Zuo Lingling glanced at Qinchuan and replied, "There are over a thousand large cities in the Seine State, and each city has its own Talisman Array Master Association. The resources of the Talisman Array Master Association are limited in the Seine State, so it's impossible to treat every Talisman Array Master Association fairly. That's why there is a competition between the top ten Talisman Array Masters and the top hundred Talisman Array Masters.
The top hundred Talisman Array Master Association receives 30% of the resources each year, while the top ten Talisman Array Master Association receives 50%. With the current strength of our Heath City's Talisman Array Master Association, it's extremely difficult to even enter the top hundred Talisman Array Master Association. If we fall out of the top hundred Talisman Array Master Association, the amount of resources our association receives each year will be pitifully small. At that time, the majority of our members will definitely choose to leave, and our association will completely collapse! "
Upon hearing this, Qinchuan asked curiously, "When you and your elder sister participated in this competition, what were your rankings?"
Zuo Lingling couldn't help but blush slightly at the mention of this matter. She replied in a small voice, "My elder sister obtained 109th place, while I obtained 260th place."
Upon hearing Zuo Lingling's reply, Qinchuan pursed his lips and asked, "Why didn't you continue to participate?"
Zuo Lingling glanced at Qinchuan and replied, "Only Talisman Array Masters under the age of a hundred can participate in the Talisman Array Master Exchange. My elder sister and I are already over a hundred years old."
Qinchuan looked somewhat astonished at Zuo Lingling, who looked like a sixteen-year-old girl. It was really hard to imagine that Zuo Lingling was already over a hundred years old!
When Zuo Lingling saw the changes in Qinchuan's expression, she knew what Qinchuan was thinking in his heart. She glared at Qinchuan with slight embarrassment and anger and said, "We're all cultivators. So long as we don't die, we can maintain our youth forever. Could it be that I can't look slightly younger?"
"Alright, I didn't say that you can't."
Qinchuan shrugged, and then he asked. "So both of you don't want the Talisman Array Master Association your father established to collapse at your hands, so you want to invite me to represent your association and participate in the Talisman Array Master Exchange this time, right?"
Zuo Lingling nodded and sighed once more. "It would be fine if Andre didn't obstruct us."
When he heard Zuo Lingling mention Andre, Qinchuan asked with slight curiosity. "You said earlier that Andre was a lowly humanoid. What did you mean by that?"
Zuo Lingling glanced at Qinchuan with slight surprise, and then she asked. "Exactly which remote mountain did you come from?
You actually don't even know this? "
Qinchuan laughed bitterly and said to Zuo Lingling, "I'm an orphan. I had no parents since a young age, and I practically grew up by picking up trash. So I don't know the slightest thing about many things that seem like common sense to all of you."
In this aspect, Qinchuan didn't deceive Zuo Lingling. He was indeed an orphan and had indeed grown up in a trash dump, so he really didn't know the slightest thing about these 'common sense' things. If he knew all of this, then he wouldn't have asked this question.
