Chapter 84 – Zhao! (4.2k)
Although Yao Qing wasn’t smart, her eyesight wasn’t bad, otherwise she wouldn’t have been sent by her sister, Yao Su, to be a steward in such an important place in Shengjing City, and she was also given the task of finding the male lead.
When the male lead saw Linglong, his entire body shuddered violently.
This kind of body’s instinctive reaction couldn’t fool anyone.
Linglong was the same.
She looked at the male lead outside the door, and at first she didn’t have much of an expression, but when she recognized who the person was, her face suddenly turned very wonderful.
Yao Qing immediately sensed the unusual atmosphere between the two keenly.
She considered herself to have seen the world.
Thus, Yao Qing immediately concluded when she saw the state of these two people.
There was something going on with these two people!
Yao Qing hadn’t thought that the two had met before and were feuding.
She thought that the two were rekindling their old feelings!
Yao Qing blinked and looked at Linglong and then at the male lead, her eyes full of ambiguity.
Yao Qing was still tsk-tsking in her heart as she watched.
These two had only played together as children.
After so many years of not seeing each other, I didn’t expect the affection to still be so deep.
“If only Jing’er could be with Linglong!”
Yao Qing couldn’t help but look forward to it in her heart.
Linglong was a direct descendant of the Yao Clan’s family head’s lineage, not only was her natural talent superb, the resources she held in her hands were also unimaginable to ordinary people.
If the male lead was with her, with the Yao Clan’s background, he might be able to make a deal with the Zhao Clan of Daxia, and with her blowing pillow talk in Zhao Yi’s ear, she might be able to make the court of Daxia give up on chasing the male lead.
Thinking about the pillow wind, Yao Qing’s face flushed with a hint of redness, her eyes were a bit shy, suddenly she felt something strange in her back buttocks, as if she had just been whipped by that annoying ingrate, her buttocks were on fire, and her heart was crispy.
Cough!
Linglong lightly coughed.
She saw Yao Qing with an unworthy look like a cat in spring and glared at her fiercely.
It was unknown whether it was envy or anger.
In any case the heart was upset.
Yao Qing’s face turned red when Linglong saw through her heart, and she couldn’t wait to find a crack in the ground to drill head first.
Linglong was too lazy to pay attention to her, and turned her head to look at the male lead as if he was on the verge of an attack.
“You are Yao Jing?”
The male lead’s voice was hoarse, as if he had specifically made a disguise.
He looked at Linglong warily and didn’t answer, instead he looked at Yao Qing who was on the side: “Why is she here?”
Yao Qing’s face was still red.
Hearing the male lead’s words, she hurriedly explained, “This is Linglong, your cousin, you guys even played together when you were little!”
Linglong? Cousin?
The memory was too long ago, and the male lead thought for a while before remembering.
When he was young in Yao’s warm room, there was indeed a little girl who often played with him.
“No wonder she looked familiar at the time!”
The male lead took a deep breath.
He looked at Linglong and thought of the vicious and ruthless way she had counted on him in the Taotie Dragon Hall before, and could not connect her to that innocent and cute little girl in his memories no matter what.
Linglong looked at the male lead and thoughtfully said, “So, what you said before about looking at me familiarly wasn’t flirting with me?”
“Amitabha!” The male lead exhaled a Buddhist chant.
The male lead was wearing a bucket hat, so he couldn’t see his face, but by listening to his tone, he could tell that he wasn’t in a good mood.
The male master bolted his hands together and said in a deep voice, “The poor monk is a monk, his six roots are pure and the four major elements are empty, so he definitely won’t do that unreasonable thing!”
Linglong raised an eyebrow, “If not, forget it.”
Forget it?
The male lead folded his hands and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.
Even so, he still couldn’t suppress the evil fire running wild.
He looked at Linglong angrily and said with dissatisfaction, “You almost put me in a desperate situation, and you also killed Scholar Su, and you want to get rid of this matter by saying ‘forget it’?”
Yao Qing finally reacted at this time.
Her gaze circled back and forth between Linglong and the male master twice, and she asked in shock, “Why are you guys arguing, aren’t you rekindling old feelings?”
This sentence directly silenced Linglong and the male lead at the same time.
The male lead was originally furious, but at this moment, he suddenly couldn’t get angry.
It wasn’t that he forgave Linglong, but his emotions were incoherent.
Linglong’s reaction was not much better than the male lead.
She blackened her face and looked at Yao Qing with a look of disgust as if she was looking at a piece of shit.
“Go out and don’t say your surname is Yao!”
Linglong turned her head away, not wanting to look at Yao Qing again.
She asked the male lead and said disdainfully, “You want to avenge that stupid woman?”
Linglong sneered, “I can remember when that stupid woman abused you, you even begged me to kill you! I helped you to settle her, and instead of thanking me, you even wanted to avenge her? If I had known that you would grow up to be so stupid, I should have let Auntie Su strangle you when you were a child! Anyway, there’s no use for you stupid bastard to live, Auntie Su wouldn’t have to suffer so much if you died instead!”
Linglong was sharp-eyed and sharp-tongued, her words were damaging and poisonous, and she had to argue three times even if she had no reason.
The male lead was just a monk who grew up chanting sutras, where was her match, for a while his lungs were almost blown up.
Yao Qing saw that the male lead was losing out, and quickly stepped forward to round up the situation.
She looked at Linglong and smiled ingratiatingly, “Jing’er is still a child, don’t you dare to talk to him.”
Linglong: “…”
Male Master: “…”
Yao Qing saw that the two suddenly stopped talking again and thought that they had been persuaded by himself, and was secretly pleased in his heart.
She looked at Linglong and wanted to say more, but was directly interrupted by Linglong raising her hand.
Linglong’s face was obscure, “Don’t talk to me, I want to be quiet.”
Yao Qing froze for a moment and looked at the male lead again.
Although he couldn’t see the male lead’s face, he was obviously in a bad mood as well.
He said with disinterest, “Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”
Yao Qing saw that both of them were ignoring him and looked aggrieved.
At this time, an emerald green songbird suddenly flew in from outside.
Linglong suddenly got up and grabbed the songbird.
Yao Qing saw the bird and his face changed, “This is the family’s emergency summoning bird?”
After saying that, she looked at Linglong and asked nervously, “What happened?”
After Yao Qing finished her words, another songbird flew in from outside.
She was first stunned, then her face suddenly changed, “It’s Sister’s summoning songbird!”
Yao Qing did not dare to hesitate and stretched out her hand, letting the sounding dysprosium bird land in her palm.
When the male master by the side heard Yao Qing say the word “sister”, his body slightly moved, but quickly regained his composure.
The three of them looked at the two birds of dysprosium, all of them didn’t say anything, and in the large hall, only the sound of the two birds of dysprosium twittering remained.
The songbird in Linglong’s hand finished first.
Linglong’s fingers gently stroked its feathers, slowly calming it down, and then took out a small handful of specially processed delicate grains from the embroidered pouch she carried and fed it.
The songbird rested for a while, then happily ate the grain.
At this time, the Song Dysprosium Bird in Yao Qing’s hand had also completed its transmission.
Yao Qing similarly pacified and fed it.
While the two Songbirds were eating, Yao Qing and Linglong glanced at each other.
Linglong spoke first, “Aunt Su’s side also received the news?”
Yao Qing nodded, “If that’s the news you got as well, then this matter should be confirmed beyond doubt.”
The male master on the side heard the two and frowned, “What are you talking about?”
Yao Qing explained, “Your mother just received news from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce side that Crown Prince Zhao Yi’s carriage has returned to Shengjing City.”
The male lead froze for a moment, “The Crown Prince returned to the city? What’s the big deal about that?”
The male lead had previously separated from Zhao Yi at the Stele Forest.
He had circled around outside and shook off his pursuers, and this was all the way to Shengjing City, so what was the problem with Zhao Yi’s carriage coming back?
Yao Qing shook his head and said with a solemn expression, “The important thing is not that the Crown Prince is returning to the city, but that there are rumors that the Crown Prince will pardon the Chaotian Sect at the Immortal Cultivation Conference!”
Pardon the Chaotian Sect?
The male lead thought of the previous situation at the entrance to the secret realm, where the Great Xia’s forbidden army was murderous, like they were going to wipe out the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect, so how come they were suddenly pardoned?
But this had nothing to do with him.
The male lead hadn’t been in contact with the Chaotian Sect.
Whether Zhao Yi pardoned the remaining members of the Chaotian Sect or not had little to do with him.
Yao Qing looked at the male lead and said in a deep voice, “Your mother said that this time is an opportunity.”
The male lead froze for a moment and looked at her suspiciously…
Yao Qing didn’t sell the story and directly said, “Rumor has it that the Crown Prince will grant amnesty at the Immortal Cultivation Conference, and besides the Chaotian Sect, there are other sects that will be pardoned as well.”
Yao Qing looked at the male lead and said excitedly, “Your mother means for you to go to the Immortal Cultivation Conference as well, and when the time comes, go and beg the Crown Prince and beg him to pardon you as well.”
Hearing this, the male lead fell silent.
If it was a month ago, with his teenage heart, he would definitely not be willing to lower his voice to beg.
However, too many things had happened this month.
Not only had the male lead suffered a severe physical and mental trauma, his identity had also changed from a Buddhist son of the Western Mountain Temple that everyone admired to a wanted criminal being hunted down and killed by the Daxia Imperial Court.
He was too tired.
At a young age, he had suffered too many hardships that did not belong to his age.
If he knelt down and begged Zhao Yi to make the rest of his life better.
The male lead thought it was okay to beg.
Yao Qing was relieved to see that the male lead didn’t refuse.
She smiled and said, “You should stay at the restaurant first, and when the time comes to follow the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce’s caravan, I will personally escort you to the Immortal Cultivation Conference.”
The male lord nodded slightly and considered it a promise.
Yao Qing smiled more and more cheerfully when she saw the male lead agree.
Although the male lead didn’t say that he forgave his sister, the fact that he could accept her arrangement already showed that his attitude was changing.
Yao Qing believed that as long as she and her sister kept working hard, they would definitely be able to remove the stigma in the male lead’s heart and finally recognize mother and son!
Then, Yao Qing looked at Linglong doubtfully.
From the moment she received the message from Ming Dyi just now, Linglong had fallen into silence.
It had already been a while, and she still hadn’t said anything.
“What happened?” Yao Qing asked tentatively.
Linglong shook her head and waited for the songbird to finish eating the grains, and with a slight movement of her palm, she sent the little bird away.
Looking at the direction where the Dysprosium Bird flew away, Linglong sighed deeply, “I’m afraid that the Immortal Cultivation World will have no more peace!”
Yao Qing was puzzled and asked suspiciously, “Why? The Crown Prince has pardoned the Chaotian Sect and those wanted sects, and the Immortal Cultivation World has a lot more fresh blood, isn’t this a good thing?”
Hearing Yao Qing’s words, Linglong looked at her like a fool, “After the destruction of the Chaotian Sect, the world of sects in the Immortal Cultivation World didn’t fall on hard times. Once the Grand Xia court’s pardon order is issued, the Chaotian Sect will make a comeback and will definitely retaliate madly then, do you think the Immortal Cultivation World can still have peaceful days?”
Linglong finished and let out a cold laugh, “It’s not that everyone doesn’t have good days, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce does have the potential to reap the benefits!”
Her expression grew more and more annoyed, “The secrets of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce may not be known by others, but they cannot be hidden from Yao!”
“The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce has always been the lapdog of the Zhao Clan of the Grand Xia, and back then, it relied on the Grand Xia Imperial Dynasty’s war against the Dynasty Sect to get started!”
“The more chaos there is in the Immortal Cultivation World, the better the business of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will be, which is naturally a heavenly good thing for you!”
It was the first time Yao Qing had heard that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was backed by the Zhao Clan.
She was shocked and said, “Didn’t the rumors say that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is backed by a mysterious sect?”
Linglong snorted, “If you don’t think of the Zhao Clan as the royal family of the Grand Xia, and instead think of them as a member of the Immortal Cultivation World, isn’t the Zhao Clan the biggest mysterious clan in the Immortal Cultivation World?”
Yao Qing was completely dumbfounded.
Linglong’s words had overturned her previous knowledge.
She had never thought of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Daxia Zhao Clan together before.
Linglong had no hope for Yao Qing’s brain.
She didn’t expect Yao Qing to figure it out on her own and asked directly, “After so many years, haven’t you ever wondered why the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce stepped in to take Auntie Su away after the incident back then?”
Yao Qing was surprised, “Could it be that they didn’t appreciate sister’s talent?”
This time even the male lead couldn’t look away.
He twisted his head around, unable to bear to look at this busty sister-in-law.
Linglong snorted, “Back then, Aunt Su was just a Yuan Yin female of Yao’s fame, do you think the deacons of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce were idle and spent heaven and earth to fight for a Yuan Yin female of no use from the family head?”
Yao Qing was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.
After a while, she tentatively asked, “Does sister know about this matter?”
“Of course!”
Linglong glanced at the male lead on the side and said expressionlessly, “That’s why I said that Auntie Su has been living a very hard life all these years! She knew exactly who her enemy was, but in order to protect her son, she could only pretend not to know anything. Enduring other people’s strange gazes while making false pretenses with her great enemy.”
Hearing this, Yao Qing was finally smart for once.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Linglong and said, “Since we know that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is related to that great enemy, wouldn’t sister be able to find out who that great enemy is?”
“And then?” Linglong asked.
Yao Qing froze for a moment, “What?”
Linglong calmly asked, “After finding out who that big enemy is, what are you going to do, kill him for revenge? Do you know the consequences of killing Zhao’s children?”
Yao Qing’s face changed.
Linglong looked at her and said indifferently, “If you dare to have such thoughts, without Zhao’s hand, I will be the first to kill you first! Because we are relatives, Zhao’s death curse will mark me as well! I don’t want to face those horrible maniacs, if you want to kill me and the entire Yao family, then don’t blame me for not being polite!”
Saying this, Linglong glanced at the male lead.
Yao was the first to know that the male lead was of Zhao’s royal bloodline.
Linglong looked at the male lead and a trace of sympathy flashed in her eyes.
“The first time I saw you, I saw unwillingness and resentment in your eyes, and not knowing your identity before, I didn’t think much of it.”
“Now it seems that your unwillingness and resentment are all directed towards Zhao, right?”
“I know you have reasons to be unwilling and resentful, but for the sake of Auntie Su, put it all away and never let anyone see it!”
After Linglong finished speaking, a flash of fear flew across her eyes.
“No one in this world knows the horror of those lunatics better than Yao!”
“Don’t mess with them, ever!”
