Rescuing the Beautiful and Strong yet Miserable Second Lead Character - Chapter 89

The atmosphere in the Chengtian Temple became subtle. The White Label Xingjun didn’t care about the changes outside the court. He was only responsible for conveying his attitude. As for what other people thought, it was his business.

Whether it can handle the slander and praise from the outside world, and whether it can balance multiple forces, is one of the skills necessary for the emperor.

White-label Xingjun is a busy person, and showing his face is the limit. Obviously, it is impossible to enter a banquet and gossiping with everyone. After Ling Qingxiao and Mr. Bai Biao Xing finished speaking on the scene, he personally sent Mr. Bai Biao Xing out. They had just walked to the Chengtian Gate, and a disciple rushed from outside. The disciple saw Ling Qingxiao’s eyes lit up, but immediately found that the senior official of the Tiangong was also there, and the disciple’s expression suddenly froze.

Bai Biao Xingjun realized and said with a smile: “Since Patriarch Ling has something else to do, then stop here, don’t give it away.”

“The white label star is polite. Zhong Shan has always been open and bright, and there is nothing to hide from everyone.” Ling Qingxiao replied, neither humble nor overbearing, and looked at the disciple who reported the letter lightly, “What happened?”

The disciple seemed a little surprised. Should this kind of thing be said in front of everyone? However, Ling Qingxiao’s expression didn’t seem to be fake. The disciple could only lower his head, and said in a proper manner: “Patriarch, there is news from below that… Mr. Chongyu has rebelled. He also changed his surname, saying that his surname will only be Ye in the future. “

Ling Chongyu was expelled from Zhong Shan and kicked out of his genealogy. It is not easy for everyone to call him the eldest son, nor can they call him Ling Chongyu, and can only be referred to as “the son of Chongyu”.

Ling Qingxiao responded indifferently, seemingly not fluctuating: “He is no longer in the Ling family, so he can take whatever surname he wants. Ye Chongyu is a traitor to the heavens. As a member of the fairy clan, Zhong Shan has always regarded the heavens as a traitor. Since then, Zhong Shan will spare no effort to encircle and suppress the remnants of the demons and defend the way. From now on, if Zhong Shan’s disciples meet Ye Chongyu, they will lead the way and punish the traitors to show Zhong Shan’s failure to do so. The determination to join forces with the demons. If anyone dares to confess, violate the yin and the sun, release water for personal gains, or even defect to Ye Chongyu, he will be punished as the crime of betraying the sect.”

The disciple heard it in cold sweat, and quickly responded. White Label Xingjun stood aside and listened to this passage with his sleeves hanging down. A smile appeared on Mr. Bai Biao Xing’s face. Ling Qingxiao knew what the disciple was going to report from the beginning, so she deliberately expressed his position in front of everyone. These words were clearly meant for Mr. Bai Biao.

White-label Xingjun smiled, and gave Ling Qingxiao his hand: “The boat in Tiangong is ahead, and the Ling family doesn’t have to send it anymore. I’ll wait to say goodbye first.”

Ling Qingxiao also leaned slightly: “Xingjun walks slowly.”

Ling Qingxiao sent away White Label Xingjun and returned to the main hall, and found that everyone’s eyes had changed without much effort.

Ling Qingxiao didn’t care at all. As soon as he showed up, many people came to him to talk to him. Ling Qingxiao had little interest in these people. He seemed to be socializing with each other, but his attention had already been placed on the other person.

Luo Han was talking to Ye Zinan and Zou Jibai in the side hall. Her beautiful appearance naturally attracted attention. After a while, Yihuaxuan walked over.

Ling Qingxiao frowned silently, Yihuaxuan? What did he do in the past?

A person was tactfully trying to compliment the ancestral relatives. After he finished speaking, he didn’t see Ling Qingxiao reply for a long time. When he looked up, he found that Ling Qingxiao’s eyebrows were raised and his face was not very good. The other party was surprised and asked: “Patriarch Ling, what’s the matter with you?”

Ling Qingxiao’s eyelashes moved slightly, and slowly returned to his senses: “It’s okay.”

When the others were about to say something to round up the field, Ling Qingxiao said: “Sorry, I suddenly remembered that there is something urgent to deal with. I am not accompanying.”

Ling Qingxiao’s attitude was polite and thoughtful, but what she said was not meant to be discussed at all. Ling Qingxiao said so, what can everyone do, they can only let them go quickly.

Everyone’s fascination dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, they watched Ling Qingxiao walk to the side hall of the main hall with his own eyes. They are all dumbfounded, isn’t Ling Qingxiao going to deal with urgent matters, what is he going to do in the side hall?

Afterwards, they saw Ling Qingxiao approaching a woman and asked inadvertently: “What are you talking about?”

The person who was left behind: “…?”

When Luo Han turned around, it turned out to be Ling Qingxiao. He was pleasantly surprised: “Why are you here? I just saw many people have something to say to you, are you finished?”

Ling Qingxiao didn’t change her face and said, “Yes.” After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yi Huaxuan and asked, “Why is Young Master Yi also here?”

Ye Zinan raised his eyebrows secretly, in broad daylight, why did he hear a smell of gunpowder? What is the Yihuaxuan, here is the public banquet hall, where can the Yihuaxuan go?

Ye Zinan smiled, took a step back quietly, and looked at these people in front of him with interest.

Yihuaxuan immediately felt Ling Qingxiao’s hostility. This was so obvious. As soon as Ling Qingxiao showed up, he looked at them frequently, and now he came to ask questions directly. Ling Qingxiao didn’t mean to conceal it at all. It was more difficult for Yihuaxuan if he didn’t know.

They had previously competed, and now in front of the beautiful woman, the Yihuaxuan is more and more unwilling to give in. Yi Huaxuan said: “I fell in love with Miss Luo, and it was good. It’s a coincidence that Miss Luo and I both like to travel. If we have the opportunity next time, we might as well travel together.”

Luo Han knew that this was just a polite remark, and Yihuaxuan wouldn’t really come to visit her, but the scene must definitely respond with kindness. She was about to speak, and was suddenly intercepted by Ling Qingxiao: “She is going to retreat recently. I am afraid it is not convenient to travel. Young Master Yi should go by herself.”

Luo Han opened his mouth and choked on hearing these words. Retreat? She is going to retreat recently?

Does she have it?

Ye Zinan looked at the show, and Zou Jibai was ignorant of the undercurrents around him. He still said cheerfully, “Luo Han, how long will you be in retreat? Just now Yi Huaxuan said that a lot of people have disappeared in a big day recently. It’s very exciting, or let’s go see it together, and it won’t be too late for you to retreat when you come back from the first day.”

Luo Han hesitated to speak, she really didn’t know when she said she was going to retreat. In front of Ling Qingxiao, Luo Han was embarrassed to refute directly, but said: “I don’t know, I haven’t made a decision yet. By the way, you just said that someone is missing in Yizhongtian. What is going on?”

The news was brought by Yihuaxuan. He heard the words and immediately answered: “I understand this matter better. The first heaven is adjacent to the Milky Way, and the aura is already very complicated. Many places are no different from the mortal world. People living in the first heaven, Either they have just ascended from the mortal world, or they have poor qualifications, and have been living together for generations. The population flow in these places is very frequent. It is common to lose one or two people, but the strange thing is that from a while ago, There are people who are missing. At first we thought it was a normal migration. Later, we found that more and more people were missing, which made us vigilant.”

Luo Han frowned secretly and asked, “Who are the missing people?”

“Indigenous immortals with poor aptitude, or ascended Sanxian.” Yi Huaxuan said, “This is where I am suspicious. These people have little contact with the outside world and their cultivation bases are not high, so there will be no one after missing. Noticed. One or two may be coincidences, but several people are like this one after another. I can’t help but suspect that this is a premeditated choice.”

It was very suspicious. Luo Han was thoughtful. Upon seeing this, Yihuaxuan asked at the right time: “Miss Luo, if you are interested, I will go back to tell my father and take this task. When your retreat is over, we will go together. A heavy investigation?”

Luo Han hadn’t spoken yet, and suddenly felt everyone’s sight falling on her. After Yi Huaxuan finished speaking, he looked at Luo Han naturally. Ye Zinan smiled and his eyes rolled around, not to mention Ling Qingxiao. Although he didn’t speak, every cell in his body was releasing cold air.

There is an inexplicable feeling of a child’s anger. Luo Han didn’t know why this association occurred. She smirked and said: “I haven’t thought about the next arrangement yet. Don’t worry, wait until the celebration is over.”

She is professional. When Yihuaxuan saw that it was not good, he asked again. Ling Qingxiao was barely satisfied, and the air pressure around her body eased slightly.

Only Ye Zinan sighed disappointedly.

Zou Jibai looked left and right, and finally felt that the atmosphere didn’t seem right.

Did he miss something again?

Although Luo Han didn’t give Yi Huaxuan the right to speak, he remembered the incident. After returning to her house in the evening, she immediately took out the panel and adjusted it to the first heaven.

There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in the immortal world. Xia Chongtian has 90% of the population of the entire immortal world, but the spiritual energy it occupies is less than 10%. Those who hang around in the world are basically ordinary people with poor aptitude and low enterprising spirit. The lower the heavenly resources, the fewer resources. After the first heaven, it is no different from the mortal world.

If there are missing persons in this kind of place, it is indeed not easy to be found. Luo Han opened the panel and looked at the household registration. Sure enough, he found that many people were inexplicably grayed out.

Moreover, the start of the disappearance of the population was also far earlier than Edward Wah Hsin thought.

Luo Han’s face was serious, and it seemed that she was going to take a trip no matter what. Luo Han was summing up the commonalities of missing persons, and a knock on the door slowly sounded outside.

The sound is not hurried or slow, tapping three times, the intensity and interval are constant. There is no need to open the door, just with this knocking style, Luo Han can guess who the person is.

Luo Han opened the door with force, and said without looking back: “You are here.”

Similar scenes have happened too many times, and Luo Han didn’t even bother to go through the host and guest process. Ling Qingxiao walked to the East Hall in a familiar way. He saw Luo Han writing and painting, and asked clearly, “Still thinking about things about heaven?”

“Yeah.” Luo Han said, “I always feel that it is not just a disappearance, there may be a bigger conspiracy behind it.”

Ling Qingxiao sat opposite her and flicked her sleeves casually: “Since you are not at ease, let’s take a look.”

Luo Han glanced at him with some surprise, Ling Qingxiao saw it and raised his eyebrows: “Why, I am in your heart, don’t even have this sense of justice?”

“Not really.” Luo Han said, “I thought that you didn’t like me to go with them.”

Ling Qingxiao paused, and said casually: “It’s not appropriate to investigate the disappearance. It’s not good to go too many people.”

“so?”

“After the ceremony is over, I’ll accompany you.” Ling Qingxiao said calmly, “It’s a fascinating one. We’d better keep a low profile. Yihuaxuan has the identity of the young master of Kunshan, and I will mobilize people wherever I go. I’m afraid it will be detrimental to the investigation. .”

Luo Han slowly felt something. She put down her pen, leaned her arm on the side of the table, and said with a smile: “What you said makes sense. But it happens that Zou Jibai and Ye Zinan are also there. There are many people with more power, if you don’t want to be shocked. Hua Xuan, let’s tell them secretly. After five days, let’s go with them.”

Ling Qingxiao raised his hand to pour tea, his movements stretched and elegant, looking pleasing to the eye. Ling Qingxiao put the tea beside Luo Han and said lightly: “Multiple people and more power? Not necessarily.”

Luo Han almost laughed out loud at the time, my God, Ling Qingxiao was able to say such things in order to get rid of the third person. That was his former teammate.

Once Ling Qingxiao was so sincere and kind, look now, she has become so scheming.

Luo Han lowered his head and quickly covered the smile on his lips, raised his head, and said solemnly: “You are right. Then we won’t tell Ye Zinan about them for the time being?”

“Yes.” Ling Qingxiao finished speaking, paused, and added, “It’s best not to tell everyone. For our private visit to the WeChat account, the most important thing is privacy.”

“Okay.” Luo Han nodded, “You are all right. When shall we leave?”

“Wait for the ceremony to end.” Ling Qingxiao took out the storage bag she had prepared long ago and put it in front of Luo Han, “I have arranged the travel itinerary. After the ceremony is over, we can leave the next day.”

Luo Han picked up the storage bag and looked at it, thinking that he was really calm. From the beginning, there were only two people in it.

Luo Han saw it clearly, but didn’t reveal it, but nodded cooperatively: “You still think carefully, I understand.”

Ling Qingxiao thought about it all day, and it wasn’t until this moment that she really felt at ease.

However, having said that, although Ling Qingxiao’s evaluation of Ye Zinan and Zou Jibai was a bit harsh, what he said was not wrong. For ordinary people, multiple people are multiple strengths, but in front of Ling Qingxiao, a hundred Zou Jibai packed up is useless.

Before setting off, Ling Qingxiao had arranged all the itineraries and accommodations, including the departure time, travel order, and daily tasks clearly. With Ling Qingxiao, indeed, no other people are needed anymore.

Ling Qingxiao’s succession ceremony ended in the noise. On the fifth day, the guests said goodbye one after another. After sending the last guest away, Zhong Shan disciples collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere on Zhongshan relaxed, and everyone tidied up the venue unhurriedly. When they were not paying attention, their Patriarch suddenly disappeared in the early morning.

Luo Han sat on the flying boat and asked, “Zhong Shan is now at the time of the handover. You suddenly disappeared, won’t things be delayed?”

“No.” Ling Qingxiao was very calm, “I have arranged their tasks, so I can just follow them without me.”

Luo Han listened, not knowing who to sigh: “With so many people, you have arranged the tasks for months.”

Ling Qingxiao nodded gently: “Yeah.”

Luo Han choked for a while. With such a boss, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

With Ling Qingxiao’s arrangement, although their journey was far away, the trip was very comfortable. After all, most of the troubles in the world can be solved with money. Unfortunately, the last thing Ling Qingxiao lacks now is money.

Ling Qingxiao used to have a lot of money. After he took over Zhong Shan, he was obviously richer many times. Zhongshan has gone through a long history of change, and the family property accumulated by the dragons in the past has become a terrifying number. Not to mention, just talk about Amaterasu City, Amaterasu City can earn tens of millions of top-grade spirit stones in one auction, and the entire Amaterasu City can generate considerable daily income.

And Amaterasu City is just one of the cities in Zhongshan’s jurisdiction. Adding up all the cities, Zhongshan’s annual tax collection alone can account for an astronomical figure. Ling Qingxiao is more than rich now, that is quite excessively rich.

The dragon family loves to make money, Ling Qingxiao is considered very indifferent among the dragon family, but when encountering the same thing, his business acumen obviously slams Zou Jibai.

What’s more terrible is that he doesn’t think this is financial management, he thinks this is a conventional method that normal people can think of.

…Just, very heartbroken.

Because of the power of money, although this journey is long, it is not difficult. Luo Han didn’t pay much attention, two months passed suddenly, and the heavens arrived.

Standing on the ship’s side, Luo Han saw the towering mountains on both sides, the western clouds were brilliant, and the bright clouds adorned the sky like ribbons. A river winds through the steep cliffs, and a huge flying boat slows down and flies slowly along the cliff. At the end of the road, there are two huge goddess statues.

The mysterious **** the left is compassionate, her eyes are scattered, and the mysterious **** the right is angry, holding a sharp sword.

In the middle of the two mysterious girls on the left and right, a huge circular magic circle was suspended in it, with blue light rippling like water waves on it.

Luo Han asked Ling Qingxiao: “What is this?”

“Entering the city formation.” Ling Qingxiao said, “Jiuren City is close to the Milky Way, with many waterways and frequent trade. It is too slow to have flying boats or ships stop to check their identities, so they set up a check formation. A boat entering the city applies for a permit in advance, and as long as the permit pattern matches the method of entering the city, it can pass directly.”

Luo Han knows that Jiuren City is a river city, and there are many differences from mainland cities like Amaterasu. Ling Qingxiao took care of all the itineraries along the way. Luo Han didn’t even know when Ling Qingxiao had booked the Jiuren Formation Pattern, and he had smoothly passed through the formation and entered the dock.

It’s sun set, and the wind on the river is getting stronger and stronger. Luo Han got off the boat and looked back and saw the waves surging, and all kinds of flying boats moored on the dock. Not far away was the vast Milky Way, magnificent and strange. Because flying boats are constantly docking, the water waves are swayed by the spiritual energy, the waves are layer after layer, and the floating platform on the dock is also shaking up and down.

Ling Qingxiao held Luo Han’s arm and reminded her: “The wind on the water is strong, be careful.”

Luo Han looked at the Milky Way in front of him, unexpectedly remembering that she was there on the day when the Magic Stones were buried in the Middle Ancient Town. The Milky Way was wide and empty at that time, and it became such a busy pier in a blink of an eye. The comparison between the present and the past is really impressive.

Luo Han asked Ling Qingxiao in a low voice, “Is it buried nearby?”

Ling Qingxiao looked up and shook his head and said, “This section of the river should be between the fifteenth block and the sixteenth block, but the place where the stone is buried is not here.”

Luo Han just asked casually, she nodded when she heard the words, and walked outside.

The wharf was swaying, but when it was on the shore, it immediately showed a completely different prosperous atmosphere. The streets here are not as wide as Amaterasu, but the atmosphere of the city is very strong, with small stalls and tea houses everywhere, and shops on both sides are on the street. The streets of Jiuren City are originally narrow, and they are constantly being invaded by shops and vendors. Pedestrians can only pass through the middle of the road. The narrowest place can only accommodate three people in parallel.

Luo Han has given way several times along the way, and she sighs: “One side of the water and soil raises the other side, here and Amaterasu City are like two extremes.”

Amaterasu City is extremely tidy, and Jiu Ren’s achievements are extremely random. Ling Qingxiao guarded Luo Han carefully, neither let the person on the other side bump into Luo Han, nor did he want others to touch the corner of his clothes, and the experience along the way was unpleasant.

Ling Qingxiao couldn’t help saying: “Nine-Rencheng’s city management is too bad. Since shops are to be opened, why are the roads so narrow? The shops on both sides invade the streets at will, and no one has even rectified them.”

Luo Han couldn’t help but couldn’t help but: “This is a heaven, and my habits are more inclined to the mortal world. This is the case with the mortal downtown, you can’t compare it to Amaterasu.”

The higher the sky, the higher the status, the stronger the sense of dignity of the immortal family. However, in the vast underworld, such a scattered and lively market economy is the mainstream.

Luo Han had been in the heavens for a long time, and suddenly returned to the market, feeling very cordial. She wandered around the stalls on both sides and found that many places were selling red lines. Luo Han stopped, picked up a red rope and looked around, and asked curiously: “What is this?”

The owner of the stall is a hearty and talkative middle-aged man. He saw two young men and women with jade statues stopping in front of the stall and greeted warmly: “Is the girl married?”

Luo Han glanced at Ling Qingxiao subconsciously, and asked awkwardly, “Why do you ask?”

“Then there is no dating.” The boss looked at Ling Qingxiao and Luo Han, and he didn’t know what information was automatically extracted from them, and said like a bullet, “The girl hasn’t made a date yet, so she has to buy it. This is a mysterious girl. The empress’ red thread will be used for blessings at the Xuannv Festival a few days later. Whether you want to be married or begging for a child, you just need to bring the red thread and Xuannv empress said that it will be guaranteed. If the girl is not in a hurry to get married and have children, use the red thread to ask Good luck, dexterity, luck, everything is fine.”

Seeking marriage and heirs? When Luo Han heard this, he had already put down the red line. It was nothing more than bluffing others, and he actually bluffed her. Seeing Luo Han’s expression faint, the boss tried harder to sell: “Girl, don’t believe it, it’s really very spiritual. The red line on my stall is very prosperous, so I didn’t dare to tell my daughter-in-law likes her. Secretly pulled a red thread from the stall and stuffed it to her door. I didn’t expect it to take long before she actually agreed to me.”

The people at the stall next to it heard it and laughed: “Lao Zhang, you’re talking about your marriage with your sister-in-law again. In the past 100 years, you have said that you didn’t say it, we are all tired of hearing it.”

Luo Han and Ling Qingxiao couldn’t help but laugh. The boss screamed and said: “Go, go, I said about my wife and me, what are you talking about.”

The boss turned his head, glanced at Ling Qingxiao, and still enthusiastically promoted: “The marriage relationship is better to be trusted but not to be trusted. It is originally a happy event, so you should accumulate blessings.”

Ling Qingxiao felt the boss’s gaze, he had never believed this before, but at this moment, he moved slightly in his heart, and he was a little moved.

Luo Han resolutely shook his head: “No need. I don’t need blessings for my marriage.”

When the boss heard it, he said quickly: “What about asking for a child? The two are just the right age and don’t think about the child?”

Luo Han’s expression was stunned, and he quickly glanced at Ling Qingxiao, only to see that Ling Qingxiao was calm and did not mean to clarify at all. Luo Han was embarrassed, cleared his throat, and said, “We are unmarried and unmarried, and the shopkeeper should not talk nonsense.”

After she finished speaking, she was so embarrassed that she turned around and left quickly.

Ling Qingxiao frowned slightly when she saw Luo Han’s back. Is she angry? The boss looked sternly and asked, “This son, don’t you take one? The girl’s face is thin, and I am embarrassed to say that the little lovers who came to my stall in the past are also waiting for someone to leave. I dare to come back and buy it secretly.”

Ling Qingxiao was about to catch up. Hearing what the boss said, she stopped alive: “But she seems to be very angry.”

“Hi.” The boss disapproved, and came over and kissed him, “If she is really angry, she will be cold on the spot.”

Ling Qingxiao heard a statement that was completely contrary to what she knew, and was very puzzled: “How do you know that she is not really angry?”

The boss choked when he was asked. He carefully looked at Ling Qingxiao’s expression and found that the young man looked so transparent, but the doubt in his eyes turned out to be true. He really didn’t know the difference between a woman’s refusal and being shy.

The boss sighed and scratched his head: “It depends on the feeling, I can’t tell the specific method… After all, if she really accidentally heard that this is a marriage-related thing, she would have left long ago, how could she listen to it for so long? After all, no one is idle. If there is no reason, who will do it patiently?”

Ling Qingxiao paused, his eyes were dark and his face was calm, this was his performance when he was thinking seriously.

Ling Qingxiao suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into his own misunderstanding.
