C280 Up Shangguan Qing's Secret
After sending Xuan Wuyu off, the fatty asked someone to call Su Xiaoxiao over again.
Today was a tough day. He had dealt with Xuan Wuyu twice, fooled Cao Yu once, and called Su Xiaoxiao twice.
"Miss Su, this is how things are. Make a decision. If you don't want to go, we won't go." The fat man told her everything.
If Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to go, he wouldn't force her to go even if he risked his life.
"I thought it was a big matter, but it turns out to be a good thing. I will go." Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly.
Although Fatty said it casually, she knew that Fatty definitely had pressure. It was just that he did not want to give her pressure.
She didn't want to become a burden if she stayed here.
Although she didn't want this opportunity, she didn't want to make things difficult for Fatty either.
Besides, it was just going to play a song. It wasn't a big deal.
"It's just..." Fatty was a little worried.
"If you're worried, just come with me." Su Xiaoxiao said.
"That's right. Why didn't I think of this problem?" The fatty slapped his thigh and came to a realization.
The Zhao Family would definitely attend the Empress's birthday ceremony this time.
As Young Lord of the Zhao Family, he naturally had to attend the ceremony as well. In this way, he felt slightly relieved.
"If Big Brother can come, it would be best if he could accompany you." The fat man's eyes rolled.
"Big Brother Lin Yue is so busy, I'm afraid he won't be able to come." Su Xiaoxiao smiled. "Besides, it's just going to play a song. It's not like we're going to the dragon's den or the tiger's den. It's fine."
The fatty nodded and let Su Xiaoxiao go back to rest. The sky had already turned completely dark.
He had to think about how to reply to Xuan Wuyu tomorrow.
Shangguan Qing brewed another cup of tea for him. She glanced at him and walked out.
In the past, in order to save her brother's life, she wanted to steal the high quality spiritual herbs in the Treasure Pavilion, but was caught by Fatty after using the Art of Burning Lifespan.
From then on, her fate underwent a huge change.
In the past, for the sake of her parents' fame and fortune, she had no choice but to work hard to cultivate, and her life was very oppressive.
Now, she helped Fatty manage some things every day and cultivated for a period of time at night. It was very sufficient.
There was no pressure at all. Every day was very fresh. This feeling was very good.
She was very grateful to Fatty for not killing her back then. She was even more grateful to Fatty for giving her the life she had now.
Although she had come here because she had forced Fatty to use the Burning Life Technique back then, and she had promised to be a cow and a horse as atonement.
Fatty did not treat her like a cow or horse. Instead, he allowed her to gradually adapt to her current life.
Shangguan Qing walked to the balcony and looked at the bright moon. However, she felt incomparably guilty in her heart.
If everything that happened before was true, then how good would it be?
Even if she had such a weird parent, she did not care. Anyway, she was already very content to have such a life.
Unfortunately, she was very clear in her heart that all of this was just a trap set up by someone else.
And she was just a pitiful chess piece. She could only allow others to decide her own fate.
When she suddenly appeared in the Treasure Pavilion all those years ago, it wasn't a coincidence, and everything had been arranged accordingly.
From that moment on, this game had begun.
However, she didn't know when it would end.
Sometimes...
This way, she would never have to face the truth.
The better Fatty treated her, the more uneasy she felt.
Many times, she wanted to tell Fatty the truth, but she was afraid that once she spoke, she would forever lose this rare life, forever lose Fatty, and even more.
Her fingers rhythmically tapped a few times, and then she looked at the moon for a moment before leaving.
In a certain corner, there was a pair of eyes that firmly remembered the movements in her hands...
The next day, the fatty went straight to Xuan Wuyu.
"I mobilized a large number of troops yesterday to find Miss Su." The fatty said, "She promised to play the zither at the Empress' birthday ceremony, but she also had a request."
"Oh, please speak."
Xuan Wuyu felt relieved in his heart. As long as she agreed to come, it would be fine. This way, he would not lose face in front of his mother.
"Miss Su said that she needs someone to accompany her." The fatty said.
"Who is it?" Xuan Wuyu asked.
The fat man shook his head. "It's not decided yet. Do you agree or not?"
Xuan Wuyu smiled. "No problem."
He was not afraid that Su Xiaoxiao would bring a dangerous person with her. At that time, the number of experts in Daxuan Country would be as high as the clouds during the Empress's birthday ceremony. Even if it was a Void-breaking Expert, he would definitely die if he wanted to cause trouble.
"Alright, it's settled then." The fatty said, "But remember, you still owe me a favor.
Xuan Wuyu smiled bitterly. This damn fatty, if he didn't take advantage of him, he would die.
...
Lin Yue came out from the secret chamber. His current cultivation base was at the peak of the fourth level Spiritual Baby.
He had sensed his clone earlier and found that everything was fine.
"Yue'er, come to my place." At this moment, Qing Yue's voice sounded.
Lin Yue was delighted. He didn't expect his master to be here.
"Greetings, Master." Lin Yue bowed respectfully.
"En, there's something I need you to do for me." Qing Yue said, "I met the mother of the Daxuan Country back then, and it's now my 100th birthday. She sent me an invitation. I won't be going. Go on my behalf."
Lin Yue didn't think that his master would actually have connections with the Empress.
The Empress was only a hundred years old, while Qing Yue had cultivated for at least two thousand years. The difference in age was too great.
A hundred years old was too young in the eyes of cultivators.
However, Qing Yue did not say how they met, so Lin Yue naturally did not ask.
Qing Yue took out a jade box and gave it to Lin Yue, "Give this to her as a gift."
Lin Yue nodded his head and carefully put away the invitation. However, he thought about it.
The Empress was the Crown Prince's mother.
The grudge between him and Xuan Wuchen was very heavy. Last time, it was because of Lee Shangwu's matter that he had shattered all the bones in his body. It was still the Ninth Elder who cured him.
And because of this matter, Xuan Wuchen was summoned back to Daxuan Country.
He wondered what kind of expression he would have when he saw Lin Yue going to celebrate his birthday.
"What's wrong?" Qing Yue saw that something was wrong with Lin Yue's expression.
"Oh, nothing." Lin Yue said, "I just thought of something. I will definitely deliver the items safely."
Qing Yue nodded, "You are already very familiar with the usage of the Lightning God Sword Technique. Now that you are at the fourth level of the Spiritual Baby, I will pass the Divine Arts to you. It's called the Nine Tribulation Thunder God Sword."
He pointed at Lin Yue. A line of text slowly appeared in Lin Yue's sea of consciousness.
Lin Yue roughly scanned it. This Divine Arts was several times more powerful than the Thunder God Sword Technique. Of course, the requirement and consumption of spiritual energy were also several times greater.
"I'll go back and comprehend it first. Don't forget to celebrate my birthday." Qing Yue said.
"I'll remember that." Lin Yue bowed and left.
In the secret chamber, he carefully studied the Nine Tribulation Thunder God Sword.
Fortunately, he had cultivated the Fiendgod Indestructible Body and had already experienced the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering, so he was quite knowledgeable about this kind of divine ability and sword technique.
This was a Great Divine Arts, and ordinary Spiritual Baby warriors wouldn't be able to cultivate it with their mental energy.
With Lin Yue's current mental strength, he could barely cultivate it.
A few days later, he flew towards the capital.
Tomorrow was the Empress's birthday ceremony. Today, he would head to the Treasure Pavilion early to see how Fatty and Su Xiaoxiao were doing.
When Lin Yue was about to arrive, it was already night. He deliberately concealed his aura because he didn't want outsiders to know about his relationship with the Treasure Pavilion.
In midair, his eyes focused and found Shangguan Qing leaning against the railing to admire the moon.
He didn't mind and was about to fly down when his eyes suddenly stopped.
Shangguan Qing's fingers rhythmically tapped a few times in the air.
It looked like she was tapping on the railing but in reality, she did not touch it.
Lin Yue's divine sense moved. He put on the Invisibility Robe and descended some distance. Deep in his eyes, a trace of dark blue appeared.
Lin Yue saw that in the dense flowers downstairs, there was a person whose entire body was in the soil, only half of his head was exposed. If he did not observe carefully, he would not be able to see it at all.
In the next moment, the person in the soil disappeared just like that.
"Earth Escape Technique." Lin Yue blinked his eyes. Things were getting more and more interesting.2
When Fatty told him about Shangguan Qing, he still felt that this girl was very pitiful.
It was only when he saw this scene today that he realized that things were not that simple.
Shangguan Chen's fingers moved. It was very much like a type of information coding used to collect information.
Because using pigeon letters and the like was very unsafe.
Although one of them was upstairs and the other was downstairs, they could still use their divine sense to send messages. However, if there was someone with a high cultivation level here, they could still get information.
If the other party did not have an decoder for this kind of coding, they would not know what the other party was doing. It was very safe and reliable.
Moreover, for someone like Shangguan Qing, ordinary people would not care about her fingers at all.
Even if they saw it, they would think that it was just a casual shake.
Lin Yue carefully scanned the flowers with his divine sense, but he didn't find anything. It seemed that the person had already escaped through the earth.
He waited for a quarter of an hour and Shangguan Qing had already returned to her room. He removed the Invisibility Robe and went straight to the fat man's room. He knocked lightly on the door.
"Big brother, why are you here?" The fatty was pleasantly surprised.
Lin Yue made a gesture of silence for him, then entered the secret room.
"What's wrong, big brother? Why are you so cautious?" The fatty felt a little strange.
"Fatty, what do you think of Shangguan Qing?" Lin Yue asked directly.
Fatty did not know what he meant and why he suddenly asked this, but he still answered honestly, "She's pretty good. There aren't many girls like her."
"Then, have you ever doubted her sudden appearance?" Lin Yue continued to ask.
"At first, I definitely suspected her, but later on, you also knew. Her parents are indeed very strange. They have come to my place twice..." Fatty said, then suddenly stopped, his expression changing drastically. "Big brother, you mean, she has a problem?"
