Chapter 771: Chapter 526: Wenn Qing’s Choice (2)

“Junior Sister, sometimes I really envy you, being able to escape that old man’s surveillance so easily.

Even though at the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain, it’s just moving from one cage to another, at least the Wang Family is a major power and acts with some regard for appearances, so your days can be a bit better.”

Wenn Qing looked in the direction of the voice, her face numb.

The emotional fluctuations she showed in front of others had gradually disappeared, and at the moment, she seemed like a real human puppet, a walking dead.

“Senior Brother, if Master has any instructions, just say it directly.”

“If we can’t complete Master’s task, we, senior brothers, fear that we won’t have a good outcome either.”

Wenn Qing spoke expressionlessly, her tone flat, yet the two in front of her faintly sensed a trace of mockery.

“It’s not your place, little girl, to lecture us!”

In mid-air, a teacup flew towards Wenn Qing like a flying sword. Wenn Qing did not dodge, allowing the teacup to hit her forehead, instantly cutting a bloody gash, and the fragments scattered on the ground.

“Enough!”

Seeing Wenn Qing still look like a living corpse,

Zhao Tian, who had just made a move, looked ruthless, wanting to go further.

The other person quickly stopped him: “Don’t make things too complicated.

If Junior Sister Wenn Qing deliberately hides something, neither of us will have a good end.”

Xue Ran spoke up, and only then did Zhao Tian stop his actions.

Both of them had already broken through to the middle-stage Qi Refining, while Wenn Qing was just an early-stage Qi Refining cultivator.

An early-stage Qi Refining cultivator might even be defeated by secular military firepower at times, but reaching the middle-stage Qi Refining, they possessed magical treasures, a reserve of Spirit Pills, and divine techniques.

That’s when they truly drew a line from the secular world.

“Junior Sister, tell us about the situation at the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain.

You’ve been in the Wang Family for so long and have stayed by the side of the Foundation Establishment Realm young family head—Wang Xingyin for some time. Don’t tell us senior brothers that you gained nothing.

Otherwise, Master won’t be happy.”

After Xue Ran persuaded Zhao Tian, he turned to Wenn Qing and said.

But Wenn Qing sneered, having no affection for these two senior brothers: “Do you, Senior Brother, not know, I’ve now been sent by the Young Clan Leader to serve a mere third-grade alchemist of the Wang Family?

I’m just a special Spirit Root, though top-grade, still incomparable to the Immortal Seeds of the Wang Family.

Do Master and my senior brothers really think that an outsider like me can find out anything?”

Hearing these words from Wenn Qing, Zhao Tian could no longer suppress his anger.

Suddenly getting up, he instantly appeared in front of Wenn Qing, grabbed her neck, and forcefully lifted Wenn Qing into the air: “Junior Sister, don’t go too far!

We senior brothers don’t want to return to the Mortal World Quarter to face Master’s blame.

If Junior Sister doesn’t say something useful today, though your life can be spared, it’ll be a fate worse than death!

Don’t you think that now relying on the Young Clan Leader, or that little third-grade alchemist, we can’t do anything to you?”

Facing Zhao Tian’s threat, Wenn Qing remained unmoved.

She simply kept repeating three words.

“I don’t know!”

Xue Ran really didn’t want to continue this boring and tedious stalemate.

He waved his hand, squeezing out a somewhat kind smile, and said to Wenn Qing, “Junior Sister, think carefully again.

As for the truthfulness of the information, we will judge ourselves.

If Junior Sister doesn’t want to continue suffering, you should cooperate with us.

Could it be that after staying at the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain for these days, you’ve developed feelings for them?”

“Senior Brother thinks too much.

People like us, wherever we go, are just floating duckweeds, at the mercy of others.

The Mortal World Quarter is like this, and so is the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain.”

Wenn Qing continued, then stopped resisting, beginning to recount what she had seen and heard at the Wang Family in Piaomiao Mountain.

With her status as a maid, what she knew was indeed limited.

After she finished speaking, the two senior brothers still looked dissatisfied.

“That’s it?”

Zhao Tian couldn’t help but want to make a move again.

This time, Wenn Qing wouldn’t foolishly stand still to take a beating.

She said coldly: “I have already said what Master instructed.

If Senior Brother makes a move again, this junior sister will fight back.

Senior Brother should think clearly, it’s not far from the Alchemy Shop here, if we make a commotion…”

Wenn Qing raised her head emotionlessly, a flash of a desperate determination to go down together crossing her eyes, scaring Zhao Tian into retreating half a step.

Zhao Tian was shamed into anger.

Gritting his teeth, he was about to make another move, but was stopped by Xue Ran.

Xue Ran was at the sixth-layer Qi Refining, Zhao Tian at the fifth-layer Qi Refining, just one layer higher, ordinarily, Xue Ran naturally took the lead.

“Hassle you, Junior Sister.”

Xue Ran smiled gently, “I hope next time, cooperation with Junior Sister will be smoother, so Junior Sister won’t have to suffer so much.”

“That depends on Senior Brothers’ sincerity.

Also, go back and tell Master, when can the Blood Curse on me be lifted?

Or was Master not planning to lift it from the start?”

Suddenly, Wenn Qing became tough, but rather than toughness, it was more of a desperate gamble after coming to terms with her situation.

Zhao Tian and Xue Ran did not take much heed of this.

Wenn Qing returned to the courtyard, retracing her steps to her side room.

In the room in Yunluo Lane, Xue Ran frowned deeply, and Zhao Tian bemoaned angrily beside him: “If we return with only this information.

That old man certainly won’t let us off.

It’s possible that with one slip, we’ll lose our lives.

What should we do?

It’s all that woman’s fault, being at the Wang Family for so long, all for nothing.

If it weren’t for her, how could we be in such trouble!”

Zhao Tian placed all the blame on Wenn Qing, as if he was without fault.

Xue Ran looked at Zhao Tian lightly and said: “Can’t you quiet down a bit first.”

At Xue Ran’s words,

Zhao Tian no longer shouted loudly, but continued to mutter beside him.

Xue Ran felt exhausted, if it weren’t that among the senior brothers, apart from Zhao Tian, it was even harder to get along with others.

Why would he choose such a partner, purely causing trouble for himself.

“From now on, we can only rely on our own efforts.”

Xue Ran said slowly, “Just now, Junior Sister probably didn’t lie, a third-grade alchemist’s status in the Wang Family is indeed not high.

Fortunately, Master just wants to confirm the current situation of the Wang Family, he shouldn’t have high expectations for us and Wenn Qing.”

Xue Ran’s words made the nearly frenzied Zhao Tian slightly calm down.

…

On the other side.

As soon as Wenn Qing returned to the courtyard, she cautiously observed her surroundings.

She looked around but did not see the anticipated abnormality, everything was as calm as water.

Until she walked into her room.

Returning to the bed, the surroundings were still intact.

After a long time, Wenn Qing lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yi was inside the house.

Even the slightest movement of Wenn Qing in the room couldn’t escape his perception as a Golden Core Zhenren.

Seeing that Wenn Qing didn’t do anything outrageous, Zheng Yi turned a blind eye.

A few days later.

In the cultivation courtyard, Zheng Yi sank his mind, operating the Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique.

Each breathing session greatly benefited his realm improvement.

Up to today, Zheng Yi had already reached the conditions to break through from the ninth-layer Qi Refining to the tenth-layer Qi Refining.

He had practiced it once before, so breaking through again was naturally quick.

Plus, his body injuries gradually healed, everything became especially easy.

Even if Zheng Yi did not deliberately cultivate,

His cultivation foundation was enough for him to steadily improve.

Just as Zheng Yi was pondering whether to use the opportunity of breaking through the tenth-layer Qi Refining to test Wang Miaomiao’s true heart,

His thoughts quietly changed.

Zheng Yi felt that he might as well add some fun to life, at worst losing the company of a top-grade Spirit Root girl, which was not a significant matter for him at present.

But he didn’t want his backyard to catch fire, bringing trouble with a difficult-to-control wife.

Currently,

Among the few wives in Zheng Yi’s inner residence, some had no Spirit Roots, while others did, and under his mediation, they got along quite well.

But if now a strong-willed wife were to join, destined to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm in the future, it might bring unnecessary variables to the backyard.

So, Zheng Yi thought it might be better to treat this as a “marriage test.”

Thinking this through,

Zheng Yi temporarily stopped the operation of the Nine Yin Returning Yang Technique, channeling more spiritual power to repair the physical injuries and the divine sense damage.
