Chapter 85 – Linglong’s Shock! (4.3k)
The male lead suffered a heavy blow to his body and mind in the secret realm, and after Yao Qing arranged a place for him to stay, he went straight to rest.
Only Linglong and Yao Qing were left in the small courtyard.
Linglong looked at Yao Qing with a puzzled expression, frowning and asked, “I’ve checked you and Auntie Su in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce before, didn’t you do quite well, why are you looking now”
Linglong organized her words before saying, “Why does it look so immature?”
Yao Qing knew that she couldn’t hide it from Linglong, and truthfully said, “All those things I did in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce were arranged by my sister, my sister’s identity is special, it’s not convenient to show her face, so she schemed behind the scenes, and then by me I was responsible for going out and putting on a show.”
Yao Qing finished and said proudly, “I’ve been pretending for such a long time, I’ve already learned seventy to eighty percent of what I look like, many people have been bluffed by me!”
Linglong’s face was expressionless, “…… This is not something to be proud of.”
Then, she asked, “What is the situation with Prince Zhao Yi? Aren’t you him forcing you? Why do you look like you are falling for him now, are you being a bitch?”
Yao Qing shook her head and sighed, “What’s going on here is complicated, he actually didn’t exactly force me, but I lost to him.”
“What’s going on, say it clearly.” Linglong said in a deep voice.
Yao Qing then told her sister, Yao Su, who had received information from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and heard that the male lead was having an affair with the Sixth Prince Consort, so she was urgently sent over to dissuade the male lead.
Yao Qing shook her head, “I rushed all the way, but I didn’t expect to be one step too late, the Sixth Prince has already sent people after Jing’er.”
Linglong didn’t seem surprised by the situation.
She asked the point directly, “What’s the matter with the bet you mentioned?”
Yao Qing said, “I went to find Sixth Prince Zhao Yi . Oh no, he is now the Crown Prince. I went to the Crown Prince to plead for mercy, and then learned that Grand Prince Zhao Coronation had knocked Jing’er off the cliff, I was so disheartened that I felt I had no face to face my sister, but Zhao Yi said that Jing’er wouldn’t die, and then he made a bet with me.”
Linglong immediately grasped the point: “Grand Prince Zhao Coronation personally said that he knocked Yao Jing off the cliff, but Zhao Yi said that he wouldn’t die? Why is he so sure?”
Yao Qing shook his head.
This question of Linglong’s was also something she had been puzzled by.
Yao Qing affirmed, “Zhao Yi spoke with great certainty, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.”
After Yao Qing finished speaking, she paused for a moment and said, “I did what Zhao Yi said and waited at the exit of the Western Mountain. In less than a day, Jing’er came out!”
Linglong’s face looked even more skeptical as she asked, “What did Yao Jing say?”
Yao Qing shook her head, “Jing’er was unconscious at the time, and the one who sent him out was a young girl who called herself ‘Little Poison’. Little Poisonous Thing said that Jing’er fell off a cliff and smashed into a ferocious beast named ‘Black Stripe’, and that’s how he survived. That ferocious beast named ‘Black Stripe’, I guess it should be a ferocious beast like a python jiao!”
Linglong heard Yao Qing’s words and analyzed, “That ferocious beast named ‘Black Strip’ shouldn’t be a Jiao dragon, Jiao types mostly move around in big rivers, that ferocious beast should be a snake python or something like that!”
Yao Qing nodded in agreement, “That’s what I think too.”
After Yao Qing finished speaking, he said with a palpitation in his heart, “Luckily Jing’er was blessed with a great life and happened to smash that demonic beast unconscious, otherwise he would definitely have to become food for the demonic beast even if he didn’t fall to his death!”
Linglong’s face revealed a contemplative look.
“Regarding Yao Jing’s jumping off the cliff, there are many strange things in it.”
“First, why is Zhao Yi sure that Yao Jing didn’t fall to his death?”
“Second, how could Yao Jing fall from the cliff and hit that demonic beast so precisely?”
“Third, the perception ability of demonic beasts is far beyond human cultivators, it’s impossible that that demonic beast couldn’t realize that someone was falling on its head, why didn’t it dodge?”
“Fourth, Yao Jing jumped up from such a high cliff, smashing on that demonic beast was actually not much different from falling directly on a rock. As a result, he was only lightly injured while the demonic beast was smashed unconscious, is that reasonable?”
Yao Qing could not answer any of these questions from Linglong.
Linglong obviously did not expect her to answer either.
She pondered for a while and said with certainty, “Zhao Yi and Yao Jing both definitely have unknown secrets on them!”
Linglong mused, “Zhao Yi is the royal son of the Zhao Clan, and he is even a famous tycoon in the world, so he must have many cards in his hands, and it’s not surprising that he could find out that Yao Jing didn’t die after falling off the cliff.”
Speaking of this, she asked Yao Qing, “Yao Jing is only a Buddhist son of the Western Mountain Temple, and that remnant soul he carries with him is of average cultivation, where did the secrets on him come from?”
Yao Qing looked puzzled, “Not me and sister, we don’t know either.”
Linglong nodded, “Looks like he didn’t tell the truth. This is good, at least it shows that he is not a hopelessly stupid waste.”
After Linglong finished, she looked at Yao Qing and asked, “What happened afterward? What happened to you, did you really fall in love with Zhao Yi?”
Hearing this, a flash of bewilderment flashed through Yao Qing’s dark eyes, followed by a blush on her face.
She first nodded, then shook her head again and sighed, “I can’t say exactly what kind of relationship I have with him, is it adoration, or gratitude?”
“Gratitude?” Linglong looked at her suspiciously.
Yao Qing nodded, “He saved my life!”
Then, Yao Qing told the story of how she had sensed the male master’s aura earlier and was about to go find him when she ended up mistakenly falling into a trap and almost died.
Finally, Yao Qing said with a complicated face, “Just now, when I heard you say that the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was behind the Zhao Clan, I still didn’t understand why my sister never sought revenge on her even though she knew who the big enemy was. Now that I think about it, she might have been in a similar situation as I was at that time.”
Yao Qing explained, “I was trapped in a trap at the time, severely injured, and could have died at any time! I tried to save myself, and I also tried calling out to people, but that place was so remote that no one passed by at all! I was so desperate that I was almost ready to die, but at that moment, Zhao Yi’s people came over and Zhao Yi saved me! You can’t understand the feeling of walking through the gates of hell!”
Yao Qing finished, a look of remembrance appeared on her face, “What happened to sister back then was probably the same as me. Jing’er was my sister’s life, and when the family lord wanted to kill Jing’er, my sister was powerless to resist, and must have despaired to the extreme. Just when she thought she was powerless, someone from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce appeared, and that person saved Sister and Jing’er! I think my sister must have felt the same as I do now!”
Speaking at the end, Yao Qing said to Linglong, “Women are weak, but a mother is strong. Don’t worry about it, even if it’s for the sake of Jing’er, elder sister won’t do anything stupid.”
Linglong nodded.
What Yao Qing said was exactly what she wished to hear.
The news that the Grand Xia Crown Prince was about to pardon the Chaotian Sect at the Immortal Cultivation Conference would soon spread throughout the Immortal Cultivation World.
It was foreseeable that this Immortal Cultivation Conference was bound to be stormy.
The Yao Family was the organizer of this Immortal Cultivation Conference.
No matter what turmoil occurred in the Immortal Cultivation World, the Yao Family would definitely bear the brunt of it.
Although Linglong knew that it was highly unlikely that the Yao Qing sisters would take advantage of the opportunity to murder Zhao Yi.
However, she had to nip any threat in the bud.
Da Xia pardoning the Chaotian Sect would only cause turmoil in the Immortal Cultivation World.
But if Zhao Yi is assassinated.
The sky would collapse in the Immortal Cultivation World!
Seeing that she had gotten all the information she wanted, Linglong no longer stayed and got up to head out.
She reminded Yao Qing, “The family head definitely knows about you and Zhao Yi, the Immortal Cultivation Conference is around the corner, so the family head will most likely contact you, and then ask you to test Zhao Yi’s attitude.”
Yao Qing nodded, “I know.”
Although Yao Qing wasn’t as smart as Linglong and her sister Yao Su, she wasn’t so stupid that she didn’t have a brain.
Moreover, she had been in the Yao family for many years and was too aware of that large family’s habitual calculating style of doing things.
The Yao family head knew that Zhao Yi had a line on her side and probably wouldn’t waste it for nothing.
Seeing that Yao Qing had an idea in her mind, Linglong didn’t say anything more but asked, “Do you still remember the Yao family’s ancestral motto?”
Yao Qing froze for a moment, then nodded, “Remember! Yao Family Ancestral Motto: Never count on Zhao!”
Linglong nodded and admonished her, “No matter what relationship you had with Zhao Yi in the past, if you still want to live well, then in the future, your allegiance will only be to Zhao Yi, and even Auntie Su will have to be ranked after Zhao Yi! Also, don’t play smart in front of Zhao Yi, that will get you killed!”
Yao Qing’s face changed slightly, then she nodded solemnly.
“I know.”
Linglong waved her hand and walked out while shaking her head, “I’ve met with Crown Prince Zhao Yi, he doesn’t seem like a thin-skinned one, your blessings are still ahead of you!”
After saying this, Linglong couldn’t help but mutter again, “Could this be that stupid people have stupid blessings?”
Yao Qing was very unconvinced in her heart.
The reason why she didn’t look smart, that was relative to those people in Yao.
Compared to those outside she was actually considered good.
All these years she had been foxing around outside under her sister’s name and had never revealed herself!
After Yao Qing came to Shengjing City, the first time she appeared at the Second Prince’s banquet, Zhao Yi and those people were all bluffed by her, and she even managed to save the male lead!
Yao Qing didn’t realize that he saved the male lead at that time because Zhao Yi let it happen on purpose.
She still thought that it was her own cleverness, and had been proud of herself these days!
At the same time.
The Crown Prince’s Mansion.
After escorting Zhao Yi back from the secret realm, Miaoyin Makoto and Zuo Xiaoluo left.
This time, Miaoyin truly realized what it meant to have the crown prince move his mouth and his subordinates break their legs.
The Grand Xia Dynasty had wanted the Chaotian Sect and other sects for thousands of years, and whether it was the Xuan Zhen Guan, the Zong Ren Fu, or the Grand Xia Forbidden Army, they had all invested a huge amount of resources, and countless people had sacrificed themselves for this.
When Zhao Yi suddenly wanted to pardon those people, it was bound to touch the nerves of countless people.
Miao Yin Zhen Zhenzi had to go and discuss with the Zongzheng of the Zongrenfu to prepare a response in advance, and he also had to go to the Harem to find Empress Bibi to report to her, asking her to coordinate the arrangements.
Zuo Xiaoluo, like Miaoyin Zhengrong, was also very busy with official business.
Although Zuo Xiaoluo doesn’t want to leave Zhao Yi’s side, but the side of the pro-guard battalion has been watched by the Imperial Palace, she must go to join the pro-guard.
The Imperial Historian’s Office had already noticed that Zuo Xiaoluo was not at the personal guard camp.
Going AWOL is a felony.
Once the Imperial Historian’s Office had evidence, they would definitely report Zuo Xiaoluo in the court.
Although Zuo Xiaoluo is not afraid, it is also troublesome to be chased and bitten by that group of royal historians.
Miaoyin Zhengyin and Zuo Xiaoluo left, and the Crown Prince’s residence once again returned to peace.
Not right.
It couldn’t be considered calm to be precise.
Before Zhao Yi set off on his treasure hunt, the Crown Prince’s residence had just collected a group of mountain beasts.
The only little poisonous creature that could communicate with these beasts had gone with Zhao Yi again.
These foreign beasts mountain pigs can’t eat fine chaff.
The Prince’s residence is provided with top quality food and drink, but they are not satisfied with the food, instead, they always miss the hundred meals on the day they entered the city.
At first it was just the black stripes sneaking out of the dog hole in the Prince’s mansion.
Soon, all the beasts followed suit.
The underlings of the Crown Prince’s mansion soon discovered the abnormalities of these foreign beasts and reported them to Huang Ying, who you left behind to watch over the house by Zhao Yi.
Because these foreign beasts were proclaimed to be auspicious, Huang Ying didn’t dare to stop them.
Those foreign beasts are all become essence.
At first, they secretly drilled dog holes, and then realized that no one blocked them, and directly went to the front door, and then spread all over the city!
When Linglong rushed from the Four Seas Restaurant to the Crown Prince’s Mansion, she passed by a baozi store called “Cao Sanniang”, and just happened to see the scene where Black Stripe ate a meat bun, and then kowtowed to someone to thank him.
Linglong was shocked.
She thought to herself that this Shengjing City is worthy of being the first place in the world, even the demonic beasts are so humane and courteous, and she didn’t know who taught them that!
A few steps further, Linglong saw a snow-white silver wolf kowtowing and bowing in front of a butcher store called “Wang Lao Er”.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper with a full beard immediately laughed, while bragging to the surrounding people about how fresh his family is, even Xiangrui can’t forget to eat it, while generously cutting a piece of top-quality five-flower meat and threw it to the white wolf.
White Wolf swallowed the meat into his stomach in one bite, then once again kowtowed towards Wang Lao Er and thanked him before he leisurely turned around and headed in the direction of the Crown Prince’s Mansion.
Linglong directly looked dumbfounded.
In a Shengjing City, two extraordinary beasts with extraordinary spirits had appeared at the same time.
It was simply unbelievable.
Linglong was just about to ask someone what the two beasts were about when she suddenly saw a golden-haired monkey wearing human clothes jumping out of the “Xu Ji Cloth Company” written on the flag across the street.
Linglong didn’t notice that the clothes were customized and looked very decent on the monkey.
She thought that the monkey was stealing the clothes and wanted to go forward to catch the monkey and help the store owner to recover the loss.
At this time, a short and thin old man with an apron walked out quickly from the cloth shop.
The old man looked at the monkey’s back and bowed with his hands, “Mr. Xiao Jin, come back often when you have time!”
Eh?
Hearing these words, Linglong’s step that she took out was retracted again.
What does it mean?
Listening to that old tailor’s meaning, that monkey actually paid for the clothes?
A monkey would actually buy things?
What kind of joke is this?
Linglong thought that the old tailor was saying it on purpose and was ready to go up and ask about the situation.
Then, she heard the people watching around her talking and clasping their fists in compliment towards that monkey.
“Mr. Xiao Jin, this is really powerful today!”
“Mr. Little Gold, you’re so radiant that people simply dare not look at you directly!”
“Mr. Jin, go to my family’s cloth shop and take a look, my tailor’s skills are no worse than Xu Ji’s!”
Linglong directly looked dumbfounded.
What is the situation with these people?
So many humans actually complimented a golden-haired monkey?
Linglong had more and more questions in her mind.
She was just about to find someone to ask, when the crowd suddenly stirred.
In the next second, Linglong knew why these people complimented this golden-haired monkey.
The golden-furred monkey was obviously flattered by these people’s ass-kissing.
It grinned and reached into the cloth bag on its waist, pulling out a handful of golden melons from it and directly scattering them towards the crowd.
Boom!
The surrounding people immediately boiled over, scrambling to pick up the golden melon seeds.
Splat!
Linglong gave herself a slap.
Ouch!
It wasn’t a dream!
But the monkey was actually giving a bounty?
Linglong felt crazy!
PS: Bosses, today in the hospital to get a day, but also have to take time off, tomorrow update.
In addition, bosses must take care of themselves, never get sick.
The body suffers is secondary, the main wallet is really can not stand, see the doctor is too expensive!
