Chapter 183 You Work Hard, I Will Definitely Say a Few Good Words for You and Your Martial Aunt
Xie Lingyu was not used to inns with people coming and going, so she rented a house to stay temporarily in Cangzhou.
The location of the house was slightly remote and not too big.
Even counting the kitchen, there were only five rooms, but it came with a small courtyard.
The Xuanwu Kingdom was not like Central Continent; without enough foundation of cultivators, there was no way to establish small cities specifically for cultivators like those in Central Continent.
What could be found here were only small markets targeting cultivators.
Such small markets were often only found every few regions.
Moreover, the things sold in such small markets were considered inferior in Xie Lingyu's eyes.
When cultivators from the Xuanwu Kingdom sects came out to handle affairs, they mostly stayed temporarily in mortal towns.
After all, this was a remote place.
Those coming out to handle affairs were mostly small cultivators at the Qi Linking Stage.
The one leading the team was at most a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Such cultivators did not have the ability to create a simple house with a raise of their hand.
Moreover, even if they spent the effort to build one, it would be some simple rough house.
One has already cultivated immortality; if one still lives so bitterly, not as good as a mortal, wouldn't that cultivation be in vain?
How good is it to stay in an inn?
Eat well, sleep well.
In addition, having cultivated immortality, one should also show it off.
Even a small minion or a transparent nobody within the sect would be called "Immortal Master" by mortals outside.
These are all proper spiritual food, giving this group of bottom-level cultivators a feeling—that this immortality was really not cultivated in vain.
The house Xie Lingyu rented was not considered small for two people.
After all, she didn't expect that there would be others living in.
Now that there was one person per room, it was naturally unrealistic.
However, none of the cultivators present had a cultivation level lower than Golden Core.
Sleeping had long become optional for them.
Only this flood dragon of the Nascent Soul Stage said it was sleepy and wanted to sleep every night before it even got dark.
It said that it was still underage among dragons and must sleep well to grow up healthily.
Anyway, Xie Lingyu remembered this sentence and would tell it to her Master when she turned back.
So theoretically, as long as an extra room was given for Qinghe to sleep at night, the rest only needed a table and a few chairs.
After all, they came here to work, not to vacation.
Inside the largest master bedroom.
At this moment, there were only three people in the room.
Qinghe was eating some sweet pastries with a happy face, and there were two large bags of food behind him.
Xie Lingyu was making tea for Chu Xingchen to drink.
This trip out was a bit rushed, so she naturally didn't bring any spiritual tea.
What she was brewing now was ordinary tea leaves.
Anyway, Chu Xingchen couldn't tell the quality of the tea leaves with that mouth; he only knew whether the water had flavor or not.
Li Yingling and Li Xingtian went to work very naturally after recognizing the place, without even needing their Master's exhortation.
After all, the competition to be the teacher's intimate confidant is fierce nowadays.
Xie Lingyu looked at Qinghe, who was still stuffing things in his mouth, after finishing brewing the tea.
"Hmm, it is still the tea you brew that tastes familiar."
Xie Lingyu looked sideways at Chu Xingchen upon hearing this: "Long time no see, how have you been recently?"
Chu Xingchen nodded and smiled: "It's okay, living quite happily.
I also accepted two new disciples who are quite interesting."
"Is that so?"
Xie Lingyu thought for a moment, then opened her mouth to ask: "Since you can get the Great Dayan Order from Master, you shouldn't have been made things too difficult by Master, right?"
"If there were, I will apologize to you on behalf of Master first."
Bai Xuanling basically rarely acted on emotions except when it came to Xie Lingyu, and most of the time she was extremely calm.
Compared to Master giving the Great Dayan Order because she looked favorably upon Chu Xingchen, Xie Lingyu felt more that Master thought this Chu Xingchen had the potential of a hidden dragon in the abyss.
However, regarding the first meeting, given Master's personality, she naturally wouldn't make a move, but it was hard to say if she said anything excessive.
"Hmm? You mean Senior Bai?"
Chu Xingchen looked serious and said, "How could that be?
Senior Bai gave me the feeling of being old friends at the first sight since we met."
"And Senior Bai is very enthusiastic, and her help to me is very great."
"Her words are gentle and interesting, and her support for the younger generation is meticulous.
Many matters in our sect rely on Senior Bai's help to proceed smoothly."
"It can even be said that without Senior Bai's help, my sect wouldn't have its current prosperity."
Xie Lingyu was somewhat speechless upon hearing this.
Although she had a deep relationship with her own Master, she couldn't say such words.
Is her own Master this kind of person?
This sounds completely like nonsense flattery... unrealistic praise.
Qinghe, who was happily eating food, looked at Chu Xingchen with a slightly disdainful expression.
Humans are indeed the ones without bottom lines; they can say such blind lies without changing their face.
Others don't understand Grandma Bai's personality, but Qinghe, a flood dragon who has really had her horns cut, doesn't understand?
Qinghe swallowed the dessert in her mouth, her tone slightly disdainful:
"Grandma Bai isn't here now.
You are flattering her here, and she can't hear.
Even if we are good friends, what you say is so disgusting that I can't convey it for you.
Grandma Bai won't know."
"I am telling the truth..."
Chu Xingchen looked at the expressions of these two, his tone a bit helpless.
In this day and age, does no one believe the truth?
Currently speaking, Bai Xuanling has indeed provided huge help to Chu Xingchen.
Whether it was the construction of the sect or the export of his own refined pills, it basically relied on Bai Xuanling.
Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't be so wealthy.
Chu Xingchen still remembers the first batch of spirit stones Bai Xuanling gave when the first pill transaction was completed.
The white spiritual stones in that spatial ring were more than Chu Xingchen had ever seen.
So much that Chu Xingchen felt like he was in a beautiful dream, especially for Chu Xingchen who had been poor all the way.
Qinghe shook her head and said: "Friend! Stop at the right point.
If you go on like this, I won't be able to eat."
No wonder this kid fooled Xie Lingyu.
The person isn't even by his side, and he starts mindless flattery.
If she were by his side, wouldn't he suck up to her on the spot?
This kid really knows how to conduct himself.
But I didn't expect Grandma Bai to fall for this too.
No wonder Grandma Bai loves to beat me; it turns out it's because I am not sycophantic enough.
Although this kid's behavior is a bit shameful, it's still a bit useful.
I should learn well from this kid for the next two days and go back and suck up to Grandma Bai properly too.
Xie Lingyu seemed to be unable to stand these words either.
She coughed lightly and said:
"What is the situation on your side?
Why are you also investigating water veins?"
Chu Xingchen nodded and said: "I found out some news.
The root cause of the disturbance might be someone coveting something in the Xuanwu Kingdom.
This thing might have some connection to the legendary Guardian Divine Beast Xuanwu of the Xuanwu Kingdom."
"The water veins seem to be tightly related to their goal.
In Chizhou, there are controlled river demons dismantling dams."
Xie Lingyu and Qinghe quickly looked at each other upon hearing this, quickly understanding the situation.
Chu Xingchen looked at their expressions and smiled lightly:
"It seems that your opportunity and the case we are investigating are very likely the same matter."
Qinghe nodded heavily: "Good friend, you work hard on this matter.
I will definitely say a few good words for you and Martial Aunt in front of Grandma Bai!"
Chu Xingchen looked at Qinghe with pity upon hearing this.
Hasn't this flood dragon figured out Xie Lingyu's temperament yet?
Saying this privately to me is one thing.
Dare to say this in front of the main person?
Sure enough, just one breath later.
A certain flood dragon was kicked out the door.
Qinghe looked at the door that closed instantly, and her face couldn't help but grinned.
The shy Xie Lingyu indeed looked very interesting.
This kick was not suffered in vain; Qinghe loved watching this.
