C525 Being Followed
Lin Mei was actually worried that Dongfang Qingqing would go to Underground Prison to choose her as a maid. With Dongfang Qingqing's identity, this did not make sense. She was almost certain. Dongfang Qingqing did not really want to save him, but she had some motive.
It was very likely that Dongfang Qingqing's goal would make her die earlier. Lin Mei felt extremely helpless. Unfortunately, she was not a martial artist. Otherwise... She definitely would not let Dongfang Qingqing control her own fate in her hands. This kind of helpless feeling. She had it before.
"None of these influential people are good things. Don't let me have the chance. Otherwise... " " Lin Mei kept cursing in her heart. Her previous master, Guo Yuanyuan, was not a good person. In the end, she was poisoned to death and Dongfang Qingqing was already hated by her!
Actually, Lin Mei was not someone who would commit heinous crimes in her entire life. She was also forced by fate to become like this. Back then she killed Guo Yuanyuan and now she began to bear a grudge against Dongfang Qingqing. All of these were for survival. In the Indifferent Hall, the life of a servant girl was very lowly. If she was not careful, she would die without a complete corpse. There were many people like her in the Indifferent Hall...
When Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu brought Lin Mei out of the Indifferent Palace and walked towards the exit of the Indifferent Hall... In the Heavenly Feather Palace, Ji Shu, Jin Yuer and Gu Yun revealed a trace of a sly smile. Sure enough, Dongfang Qingqing was doing some shady things.
Ji Shu and the other two knew that a few days ago, Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu went to the forest to pick herbs. After that, Qin Zhu went to the forest alone again. Only two days had passed and Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu actually went to the forest again. Did they really go to pick herbs?
Clearly, Ji Shu and the others did not believe that Dongfang Qingqing really went to pick herbs. Dongfang Qingqing was an alchemist and also a doctor. This was true. However, there were a lot of herbs in Indifferent Palace. Dongfang Qingqing would not go to pick herbs every two to three days!
"Yu'er, Junior Sister Gu Yun, let's hurry up and leave. If we are late, we won't be able to keep up with Dongfang Qingqing." Ji Shu got up and walked out of the hall. What exactly Dongfang Qingqing was doing, this time she must find out.
Ji Shu had always wanted to get rid of Dongfang Qingqing and her master Su Yuzhi also wanted to put Dongfang Qingqing under house arrest. Su Yuzhi was not easy to deal with Dongfang Qingqing personally so she could only let Ji Shu do it. Ji Shu felt that this time was a big chance to grab Dongfang Qingqing...
Dongfang Qingqing and Qin Zhu brought Lin Mei all the way to the Indifferent Hall's city gate. At this time, an enchanting woman walked towards them and there was a faint smile on her face. But Dongfang Qingqing knew that her expression was the complete opposite of her heart.
"Dongfang Qingqing, are you going out to pick herbs? Has your alchemy realm advanced again?" The girl's name was Bai Yiyi, and she was currently the chief disciple of Shuling Palace. She was also the last disciple of Pang Caixuan and had a bad relationship with Dongfang Qingqing.
Dongfang Qingqing could not bear to see Bai Yiyi acting so calm and composed. She originally did not want to bother with Bai Yiyi but she could not lose face when she was greeted by a smiling face. "Bai Yiyi, you are asking even though you know the answer!"
The smile on Bai Yiyi's lips was still the same. Suddenly, she saw the servant girl standing behind Dongfang Qingqing and her expression changed as she said, "Isn't this the dead servant girl who poisoned senior sister Guo Yuanyuan, Lin Mei? Why is she here?"
Bai Yiyi's expression was filled with shock. It could be said that she still remembered this servant girl Lin Mei clearly. Her relationship with Guo Yuanyuan was extraordinary. Guo Yuanyuan was dead. Back then, she took the initiative to ask her to personally kill Lin Mei but was rejected by her master.
When Lin Mei heard Bai Yiyi's words, she immediately revealed a panicky expression. This Bai Yiyi wholeheartedly wanted to kill her but she was imprisoned and obtained a trace of life. Now that she met Bai Yiyi again, would Bai Yiyi kill her?
"Probably not. I am Dongfang Qingqing's maidservant now and Bai Yiyi dare not touch me!" Lin Mei thought in her heart and immediately felt relieved. Dongfang Qingqing's maidservant was not someone who could be killed just because she wanted to.
"She is Lin Mei. Of course, Lin Mei is my personal maidservant now!" Dongfang Qingqing replied faintly. She could tell that Bai Yiyi had a deep hatred towards Lin Mei and her words were a warning to Bai Yiyi.
Lin Mei's life and death had nothing to do with Dongfang Qingqing but that man would transform into Lin Mei in the future. If Bai Yiyi and the disciples of Shuling Palace did not want to let Lin Mei go, it would be to deal with that man. If they brought that man back, the man would be in danger.
Dongfang Qingqing was very helpless. Bai Yiyi actually bumped into Lin Mei. This was going to be troublesome. Her plan was to let the man replace Lin Mei's identity and hide in Indifferent Palace. Now it seemed that after choosing Lin Mei, there would be endless trouble!
"Your maid? Dongfang Qingqing, you are the princess of Indifferent Hall, but you actually went to the prison to choose a maid on death row. This is not realistic!" Bai Yiyi asked in surprise. Lin Mei had become Dongfang Qingqing's maid. It was very difficult for her to kill Lin Mei!
Hearing this, Dongfang Qingqing chuckled and said, "What is unrealistic about this? All along, I, Dongfang Qingqing, only have one maidservant. Now that I have an additional maidservant serving me, what is so strange about it?"
"Alright, Bai Yiyi, I still have something to do. I will not accompany you to chat here. Farewell!" Changing the topic, Dongfang Qingqing directly brought Qin Zhu and Lin Mei away. She had to pretend to be calm and not let Bai Yiyi see any clues.
Seeing Dongfang Qingqing and the other two walk away, Lin Mei retracted her gaze. Her expression suddenly became cold. "Damn Lin Mei, you are actually still alive and have become Dongfang Qingqing's servant girl. But I, Bai Yiyi, will not let you continue to live. Just you wait!"
Bai Yiyi muttered to herself. Her eyes were filled with killing intent. Logically speaking, Lin Mei should have killed Guo Yuanyuan. Bai Yiyi should be thanking Lin Mei for being the chief disciple of Shuling Palace. However, Bai Yiyi and Guo Yuanyuan had a close relationship. It could even be said that they were like sisters. Hence, in her heart, there was only hatred towards Lin Mei!
Bai Yiyi knew that as a mortal maid, Lin Mei was able to steal poison to kill Guo Yuanyuan, who was at the Truly Essence Perfection. This Lin Mei's thoughts were very unusual. If she let Lin Mei live, she would definitely become a future threat in the future.
When Lin Mei was sent to Underground Prison, she had sworn that as long as Lin Mei still had a breath left in her. Lin Mei would kill all the disciples in the Shuling Palace. Even the palace master of the Shuling Palace, Pang Caixuan, was also the target of Lin Mei's assassination. Bai Yiyi was well aware of this.
Bai Yiyi did not dare to be careless. If it was an ordinary maid, she would not care. But Lin Mei was different. Although Lin Mei was only a mortal maid, but Lin Mei seemed to be very good at assassination and her mind was exceptionally vicious. One must know that Lin Mei was already Dongfang Qingqing's personal servant girl. With a lot more power, the 'things' he could come into contact with were even wider.
Guo Yuanyuan was a living example. In short, this Lin Mei was not someone to be trifled with and Bai Yiyi had to make plans in advance!
"This Dongfang Qingqing should know everything about Lin Mei. Such a dangerous person. Dongfang Qingqing actually dared to keep her by her side. What exactly is Dongfang Qingqing thinking about?" Bai Yiyi was very confused. She always felt that Dongfang Qingqing kept Lin Mei by her side. There was another motive! Could it be that Dongfang Qingqing wanted to use Lin Mei to deal with Shuling Palace?
Thinking about it in her heart, Bai Yiyi decisively walked towards Shuling Palace. Regarding this matter, she must inform her master Pang Caixuan.
"Isn't this Senior Sister Bai Yiyi? What made Senior Sister unhappy?" Suddenly, a mocking laugh was heard. Bai Yiyi halted her steps and turned her body to look. A faint anger immediately appeared in her eyes.1
The person who came was Ji Shu, Jin Yuer and Gu Yun. The one who spoke was Jin Yuer. Jin Yuer. Jin Yuer. The three of them were disciples of Heavenly Feather Palace and had a bad relationship with Bai Yiyi. When Bai Yiyi heard Jin Yuer's mocking voice, she would definitely retaliate.
Sure enough, Bai Yiyi swept her eyes over Jin Yuer and the other two and coldly snorted, "Jin Yuer, am I happy? What does this have to do with you? You really don't know how to cover your mouth. When did you learn how to look at appearances?"
" Bai Yiyi, what kind of attitude is this? When I saw your bitter expression, I went forward to comfort you. How can you be so ungrateful?" Jin Yuer's face turned angry. Bai Yiyi was not like this in the past. Even if she was angry, she would not show it. But today was different. She was thinking, could it be that Bai Yiyi met Dongfang Qingqing? Both sides had a dispute.
"Humph! Don't think that I don't know what you, Jin Yuer, are thinking. A person who thinks he is smart will not have a good end sooner or later!" Bai Yiyi was not polite at all. She was feeling depressed and it just so happened that she took out Jin Yuer to vent her anger.
"You!" Jin Yuer still wanted to scold Bai Yiyi but Ji Shu said faintly at this time, "Bai Yiyi, if you want to fight, we will accompany you at any time. But now we still have something to do. Another day, we will definitely do as you wish!"
In the Indifferent Hall, the person Ji Shu hated the most was Dongfang Qingqing. Next was Bai Yiyi. Her master strictly ordered them not to provoke the disciples of Shuling Palace so she could only give in to Bai Yiyi during the 'sparring'.
"I will wait!" Bai Yiyi threw these three words and turned around to leave. Seeing this, Ji Shu coldly snorted and said to Jin Yuer and Gu Yun in a low voice, "Let's go. Business is more important. In the future, we have plenty of time to deal with Bai Yiyi."
"What is this?" Jin Yuer looked at Bai Yiyi's back with disdain and then followed Ji Shu and Gu Yun's footsteps. If not for her master stopping them, they would have already attacked Bai Yiyi...
Dongfang Qingqing, Qin Zhu and Lin Mei entered the forest and not long after. Ji Shu, Jin Yuer and Gu Yun also entered the forest. Dongfang Qingqing and the other two had just left not long ago. There was still the aura left behind by the three of them in the forest as long as they followed from afar. It was not difficult to know what Dongfang Qingqing and the other two did in the forest.
"Princess, Lin Mei is a mortal. Our speed is too slow!" Qin Zhu said helplessly. With such speed, it was easy to be followed. Furthermore, they would need at least four hours to reach the cave.
Dongfang Qingqing nodded when she heard this. This could not go on. After thinking for a moment, she used the Spiritual Sense. She remembered her master's warning in her heart. She had to prevent the experts from Heavenly Feather Palace or Shuling Palace from following her. This was also for their safety.
"Not good. Ji Shu, Jin Yuer and Gu Yun are actually following behind us!" Dongfang Qingqing had a solemn expression. Fortunately, she used the Spiritual Sense to scan the area. Otherwise, Ji Shu and the other two would definitely know about the man's matter.
Of course, Dongfang Qingqing used the Spiritual Sense to scan Ji Shu and the other two. She also knew that Ji Shu and the other two had also discovered this through the Spiritual Sense's sensing. If nothing unexpected happened, Ji Shu and the other two would definitely not hide anymore. Instead, they would directly come over to negotiate with them.
"Princess, you have come with ill intentions!" Qin Zhu coldly snorted. She understood that regardless of the reason why Ji Shu and the other two followed them? Since Ji Shu and the other two followed them to this forest far away from the Indifferent Hall, Ji Shu and the other two would definitely attack them.
"Hmph! Good timing. I can test out this treasure that my master gave me!" Dongfang Qingqing suddenly revealed a bright smile. Ji Shu and the other two wanted to follow them and deal with them. It was really a dream.
As soon as she finished speaking, Dongfang Qingqing decisively raised her hand and a green bead appeared in his hand...
