Xu Qingzhi put away the 'Shadow Bead' in her hand. This thing may be useful in the future, but she is not ready to give it to the Dingzhou sect now.
It is true that Master Hanshuang's performance today was too unpleasant, and Xu Qingzhi did not want Dingzhou's main sect to be embarrassed because of this, thus creating a gap with the 'Southern sect'.
Looking at Zhang Ke who put the 'Zhilan Xing' back into the jade box, he couldn't help but ask:
"Master, is there any manipulation in this 'guessing'?"
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"What the hell, do you think I'm up to something in this?"
Xu Qingzhi said in confusion:
"Qiguan Xinyu's hint is so obvious, why does Master Hanshuang turn a blind eye?"
Zhang Ke turned the dark golden Rubik's Cube in his right hand and said meaningfully:
"This is the human heart!"
This is a psychological game about which floor each other is on.
Zhang Ke did not explain in detail. He was thinking about other things at the moment.
Xu Qingzhi also roughly guessed some of Master Hanshuang's thoughts.
But at the same time, she also knew one thing.
It was Zhang Ke’s deliberate actions before ‘guessing the coins’ that invisibly affected Master Hanshuang’s judgment.
She even had a malicious suspicion that even if Master Hanshuang made the right choice, Zhang Ke would still have a way to make him change his mind.
She didn’t believe that Zhang Ke would willingly give ‘Zhilan Xing’ to Master Hanshuang.
At this time, seeing a thoughtful expression on Zhang Ke's face, he asked:
"Master, I wonder what's on your mind?"
Zhang Ke pondered and said:
"What do you think of Qiguan Xinyu?"
Xu Qingzhi's slender eyebrows were raised slightly, and she spoke in a longer voice, half-smiling:
"Oh~~~, does the head have any thoughts about Qiguan Xinyu?"
Zhang Ke blushed, his reputation was ruined.
How come if you mention women casually, other people will think wrong things.
He couldn't help but smile and defend:
"Qingzhi, where did you think you were going? I just think there is something wrong with this Qiguan Xinyu."
Xu Qingzhi looked stern, thinking carefully about Qiguan Xinyu's many actions today, but he didn't see anything wrong.
This is a junior who admires Zhang Ke and is quite curious.
But Xu Qingzhi knew that since Zhang Ke said this, he must have seen something, so he asked:
"What's wrong with Qiguan Xinyu?"
Zhang Ke held his chin with one hand and turned the Rubik's Cube with the other, thinking:
"Since Qiguan Xinyu is a member of the Hanshuang Zhenren clan, according to each sect's territorial management strategy, she should join our sect.
But when I observed its aura, it was obvious that it had another inheritance, which is very strange.
You must know that Master Hanshuang is the patriarch of the sect, but the children of his own family have become disciples of others. There must be a reason for this.
Moreover, when I asked before, although Master Hanshuang clearly stated that Qiguan Xinyu had another inheritance, he did not mention who he was his master of, which is even more wrong.
Even if Qiguan Xinyu has another inheritance, if there is no ghost in it, why should it be hidden from me?
What puzzles me the most is..."
Zhang Ke paused and said thoughtfully:
"I wonder if it's my imagination, but Qiguan Xinyu seems to be very interested in my eyes."
Xu Qingzhi's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered Qi Guan Xinyu's curious questions when they first met.
If you treat it as ordinary curiosity, it's okay, but if you ask with ulterior motives, the meaning contained in it is completely different.
Xu Qingzhi stood up suddenly and said in a serious voice:
"We need to bring these two people back for questioning."
Xu Qingzhi has been in a high position for a long time and has been in charge of the life and death of the sect for many years. At this moment, his expression calmed down slightly, and an endless aura of intimidation suddenly emerged from his eyebrows.
Zhang Ke thought for a moment and slowly shook his head.
"If we take the two of them for questioning at this moment, if they have a back-up plan, it will be easy to alert them.
Furthermore, once Master Hanshuang is captured, the Dingzhou sect will only think that I am avenging my personal revenge.
Perhaps this is what some people did deliberately to create discord between our sect and the Dingzhou sect.
Now my biggest secret is to become a Taoist.
But when I became a Dao Lord, it was in the outer realm, and there was no sign of any abnormality in this realm.
Haha, there are quite a few Dao Lords outside our sect watching our sect day and night, and this just helps me cover up.
If someone is targeting me, it would be a good time for me to see who is plotting behind the scenes."
If Master Hanshuang and Qiguan Xinyu really have a problem, they may be killed as soon as he takes action here.
In this case, under the promotion of some people with ulterior motives, the relationship between the sect and the Dingzhou sect will definitely have a rift.
Xu Qingzhi's face brightened slightly, she thought for a while and said:
"Is there any problem with Master Hanshuang?"
Zhang Ke's expression became a little heavy and he said in a serious voice:
"The lifespan limit of the Golden Core Realm is eight hundred years. According to my calculations, Master Hanshuang's lifespan has increased by at least four hundred years.
Even I don’t have such a treasure in my hand, Hanshuang is just a real person in the Golden Core Realm, and how did he obtain such a precious treasure?"
Xu Qingzhi's heart skipped a beat.
"It seems like Master Hanshuang also has a problem!
However, if he really has a problem, why did he dare to come here today? Isn't he afraid of being discovered by the boss?"
Zhang Ke was silent for a moment and then said:
"I guess Master Hanshuang has reached the end of his life even if he has the life-extending treasure, and he came here as a last resort.
Secondly, maybe he himself didn’t know that he was being plotted, so he dared to appear in front of me.”
Xu Qingzhi felt that Zhang Ke's words were quite reasonable and couldn't help but nodded.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind like lightning, and she blurted out:
"In the past hundred years, some people have always come to the leader directly or indirectly. Could it be that these people are all in the same group?"
Zhang Ke's eyebrows twitched, he nodded slightly, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It makes sense, haha, I'll just wait and see!"
...
Tai Chi circle.
Qingshui County Port.
Nowadays, although there are "empty boats", most practitioners use them to travel between sea areas.
However, mountain ships still have a huge market in many sea areas. After all, there are still a large number of ordinary people and goods that need to be transported by mountain ships.
In addition, the distances between islands in the sea vary widely. If you want to go to farther islands, even practitioners still need to use mountain boats for transit.
At this time, the port of Qingshui County was bustling with traffic.
Hundreds of large ships and mountain boats are docked at the port terminal, and countless box containers are being loaded and unloaded with the assistance of countless ordinary people and practitioners.
Various large mechanical creations and various puppets are working in an orderly manner under the command of many practitioners.
A large number of ordinary people are dealing with things such as registering accounts, commanding and dispatching, coordinating personnel evacuation, etc.
Although he had seen such scenes more than once, Qi Guan Xinyu couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw practitioners, ordinary people, and puppet machines all blending together.
After gathering his thoughts, Qi Guan Xinyu looked at Master Hanshuang.
Master Hanshuang also woke up from his slight madness at this moment, turned his head and glanced at Qiguan Xinyu, and said with a wry smile:
"Alas! I have completely lost my face today."
Qi Guan Xinyu was not easy to talk to, so he changed the topic and said:
"Master, when should I return?"
Master Hanshuang sighed softly and said:
"What's the point of staying here? Let's do it!"
They randomly found a mountain boat that was about to leave the port, and the two of them took the boat and left.
A month later, after the two of them returned to land, they immediately flew to Dingzhou in the "empty boat".
After another half month of flying, the two finally returned to the border of Dingzhou.
At this moment, Qi Guan Xinyu finally felt a sense of security in her heart.
Presumably, no matter how powerful the True Monarch Ruyi is, it is impossible for him to investigate him from hundreds of thousands of miles away.
After hundreds of years of development, the 'empty boat' has become the standard configuration for most practitioners.
High in the sky, from time to time there are lights of various colors brought by 'empty boats' as they pass through the sky.
When the "empty boat" was first popularized, there was actually no light display. After all, the flashing light would be more conspicuous, which would make the practitioners feel more insecure.
However, after numerous incidents of "ship collision" in the air, all sects with the ability to refine the "empty boat" added flash restrictions on this magical weapon.
This allows the 'aircraft' flying rapidly in the air to find each other at a great distance, greatly improving safety.
At the same time, in order to avoid collisions between 'empty boats', different levels of 'empty boats' are also limited to a certain speed during refining.
Due to different speeds, different levels of 'empty boats' spontaneously travel at different heights.
This rule is completely formed gradually and spontaneously by the practitioners.
At this moment, standing on the 'empty boat' that was speeding through the air, Qi Guan Xinyu looked around for a few times, then saluted Master Hanshuang:
"Zhenren, Xinyu had an appointment with a friend before, but now he can no longer accompany Zhenren back to his family.
but..."
Qi Guan Xinyu reached out and took out a letter written in advance from the space wrist wheel and handed it to Master Hanshuang, meaning:
"The treasure that can break through the realm of Yuanshen is not only possessed by Zhenjun Ruyi.
This letter contains news about a treasure that can help people break through the realm. If the real person is still determined to advance to the realm of Yuanshen, he might as well go and look for it in his spare time."
Master Hanshuang's already desperate heart suddenly felt a little palpitating.
Although Qiguan Xinyu was a member of his family, Master Hanshuang had already sent him away from Dingzhou in compliance with his old oath to someone when he was young.
Who does Qiguan Xinyu belong to? It's not that he doesn't want to tell Zhang Ke, but that even he doesn't know.
But Master Hanshuang faintly noticed that there seemed to be a large invisible net being woven, and the target of this net was most likely Zhang Ke.
If Zhang Ke is willing to give the 'Zhi Lan Xing' to him this time, there is no way he will give it some reminders.
But since he was so merciless to himself, he made himself embarrassed in front of others.
Then I would no longer have to feel guilty for leaking some of his important information back then.
Master Hanshuang had a feeling that the letter Qiguan Xinyu handed him was more than just news about the treasure that broke through the realm.
The treasure that breaks through the realm of Yuanshen is so precious. Although Qiguan Xinyu is of the same clan as himself, there is no way he could tell him such important information so easily.
Combining some of Qiguan Xinyu's behaviors, Master Hanshuang roughly guessed Qiguan Xinyu's intention.
He silently took the letter from Qi Guan Xinyu's hand and thought to himself:
‘If you don’t do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Humph! Zhang Ke, since you were the first to be unkind, don’t blame me for being unjust!’
After a moment, a purple light streaked across the sky.
Master Hanshuang watched Qiguan Xinyu's envoy "Kong Xingzhou" go away without a trace, and opened the letter with slightly trembling hands.
There are only four words on the exquisitely engraved letterhead.
'What's the worry?'
Master Hanshuang's heart was shaken. He loosened his hands and the letter flew down. But in just this moment, the letter turned into ashes silently.
At the same time, a special mark flashed in the ashes.
...
Qi Guan Xinyu sent the "Kong Xingzhou" all the way to the west, and after arriving at a medium-sized market, he drove the "Kong Xingzhou" and landed in it.
Here, several sisters who had been arranged by Qi Guan Xinyu had been waiting for a long time, and they were very happy after getting together.
In the next year, Qi Guan Xinyu and his friends traveled around, exploring and hunting for treasures.
During this period, some people left and others joined.
One day a year later, after Qi Guan Xinyu said goodbye to a group of friends, in a flash of light, he left Dingzhou through the interstate teleportation array.
After it appeared in Jizhou, it continued to change its appearance and frequently traveled to different regions through the teleportation array.
When she last appeared in Zhongzhou, she was in a secular mansion, and at this time she looked like a lady.
After hiding quietly in this mansion for half a year, Qi Guan Xinyu left the mansion in a soft sedan.
But half a day later, a white-haired maid left from the back door of the mansion with a vegetable basket on her arm.
Walking through the streets, the old woman came to a market and disappeared quietly.
...
Bilan Mountain in Zhongzhou.
In a hidden cave.
The patterns of a small teleportation array on the ground suddenly flashed with light.
After the light flashed, Qiguan Xinyu's figure appeared from the teleportation array.
At this moment, she was still dressed as a white-haired maid. Before she could leave the teleportation array, a low shout suddenly came from her ears.
"Don't move!"
As the sound sounded, a cloud of multicolored glaze-colored light washed from top to bottom like water from Qiguan Xinyu's head.
During this process, all the clothes and magic weapons on Qi Guan Xinyu's body, including the space wrist wheel, were washed away by the colored glaze light and turned into powder and dispersed in the wind.
At the same time, Qiguan Xinyu's body was revealed without missing a trace from the inside to the outside.
The soul and mana inside, and the bone marrow, blood, skin, and hair outside, were washed away again and again by the glass-like colored light.
When the inside and outside of Qi Guan's new jade is as pure as a baby, the colored glaze light dissipates between heaven and earth.
A linen robe flew out from the darkness of the cave and spread over Qiguan Xinyu's body.
"Da da~ da da~"
As slight footsteps sounded, a majestic figure walked out of the shadows.
