1725: Threat Again 3

Threat Again 3

Instead of heading directly to the hostel in the Saint Divine Land, they veered off their path and found themselves in a narrow alleyway adjacent to the hostel. Qianji Elderly Man awaited them beneath a tree, unaccompanied by any visible guards.2

Qianji had faithfully served Piaomiao Pavilion for countless centuries, yet his appearance defied his age, resembling that of an ordinary elderly man who appeared surprisingly youthful.

Lingyun, not naturally inclined towards cultivation, possessed limited knowledge about the practice.

However, her extensive time spent alongside Wuxing at Piaomiao Pavilion had granted her some insights. Qianji's youthful appearance despite his advanced age implied an exceptional level of cultivation, undoubtedly placing him in a prestigious position within their ranks.

Individuals like Qianji, holding such status, would seldom engage in personal conversations with someone like Lingyun, even though she had aided them indirectly in the past.

Yet, today seemed to be an exception to the norm.

It seemed that Elder Miss had successfully taken control of Piaomiao Pavilion, as Lingyun found herself in an unexpectedly cheerful mood.

The fact that even someone like Qianji appeared uncertain indicated that Piaomiao Pavilion must be in a state of turmoil and despair.

Wuxing accompanied Lingyun as they approached Qianji. With a request, Qianji said to Wuxing, "There is a delightful pastry shop at the end of the street. Please go there and purchase some pastries for Lingyun to take home."

Wuxing nodded and departed, following Qianji's instructions.

Before long, only Qianji and Lingyun remained in the alley.

Lingyun wasn't foolish enough to overlook the fact that an agreement had likely been reached between the two of them long before this meeting took place.

If Wuxing genuinely cared about her, he wouldn't have turned and left her alone to face Qianji. After all, Wuxing was the one person who understood Qianji's true nature.

Because of these, Lingyun had seen through Wuxing.

Those were something she failed to see in the past.

Qianji sank his face. "Wuxing told me that when you go back to Piaomiao Pavilion, you will get married, and the wedding will be huge?"

" "…"

"Normally, you did spend a lot of time together, and a huge wedding should be arranged."

" "…"

"But Wuxing has no parents, and I am now speaking with you on behalf of his parents. I am sure you know who Wuxing is, the most excellent disciple in Piaomiao Pavilion. But you can't even practice."

"…."

"But for he who insists, I don't expect that he would marry you by demeaning himself."

" "…"

"Marrying you only gives him trouble." Qianji said with a serious look.

" "…"

"But he promised to me that you can help us get Golden Rolls. After this is done, he will go to the Head and beg him for your alliance."

" "…"

"In this way, I will have a way to stop him."

" "…"

"I am asking for a meeting with you, because I want to tell you about what is going on here with Wuxing, so you won't push the burden or blame on him alone."

" "…"

"Perform well with Golden Rolls, or I will truly stop you from getting married. I never fail at anything once I set out to do it at Piaomiao Pavilion. I think you know that well."

" "…"

"Wuxing adores you. But I won't let you do whatever you want!"

"Oh yeah? In that case…"
