Chapter 59 Pervert
Chapter 59 Pervert
Many times, Li Qingyi had to admit how strong the imaginations of people in the cultivation world were.
He clearly didn't reveal anything, yet the other party was able to fill in a whole set of reasonable explanations on their own.
Ling'er murmured softly, "So, that earth-shattering sword strike that day was to save you?"
"I guess so?"
Li Qingyi's tone was somewhat uncertain, but upon closer reflection, that sword strike had indeed saved his life.
Upon hearing this answer, Ling'er's eyes lit up with joy:
"I knew Brother Qingyi was Ling'er's destined one, and Master was right."
As she spoke, the gloom of the past few days vanished, and she regained her usual lively and cheerful demeanor.
Li Qingyi really wanted to say, "You're celebrating too soon," but she couldn't bring herself to say it.
Only then did he remember his real purpose, "Ling'er, do you know the Zhao family?"
"The Zhao family?" Ling'er raised an eyebrow slightly. "You mean the Purple Mansion Immortal Clan that's based near the imperial city?"
Li Qingyi's heart tightened: "Are there other Zhao families?"
Ling'er shook her head. "Within the Xuan Kingdom, there is only one Zhao family, namely the Zi Chuan Zhao Clan, one of the few Purple Mansion Immortal Clans in the Xuan Kingdom."
Li Qingyi felt utterly overwhelmed.
"Brother Qingyi, have you perhaps offended the Zhao family?" Ling'er's face flashed with worry, then she shook her head. "But with a Golden Core True Monarch as your backer, you should have nothing to fear."
Qingkui sat expressionless in front of Ling'er, but Li Qingyi inside Huanzhulou was already frowning with worry.
"It feels like things just keep piling up, one after another, and there's never a end to it!"
Li Qingyi sighed, "If I really had a Golden Core True Monarch as my backer, I wouldn't be in this situation."
Li Qingyi, controlling the green puppet, replied:
"Today I caused a great disturbance at Wangchun Tower. The Moon Fiend organization of Wangchun Tower is connected with a force called the Zhao family."
Ling'er pouted in dissatisfaction, her eyes showing disdain. "You frequent brothels? No wonder you smell of rouge and powder on you."
Li Qingyi's lips twitched. "Is that the point right now?"
"Isn't that right?"
Li Qingyi was defeated, said no more, and turned to go back into the house.
Seeing Li Qingyi's attitude, Ling'er became even more dissatisfied. She snapped her fingers, and a dark shadow immediately appeared in the shade under the tree.
"My lord!"
"Go and find out what happened at Wangchun Tower tonight!"
"Yes, sir!" The shadowy figure had barely acknowledged when it disappeared into the shadows.
"I was going to teach you the secret technique for summoning shadow spirits, but now it seems there's no need!"
……
Inside Huanzhulou, Li Qingyi paced back and forth.
As dawn broke, he stopped walking when a ray of morning light shone through the window.
"Perhaps... the identity of being an assassin from Tingyu Pavilion is a blessing rather than a curse? Since the Pavilion Master has made me public, why don't I take advantage of the situation?"
Judging from the attitude of the Dao Sect, they probably wouldn't dare to offend Tingyu Pavilion, otherwise I would have died long ago in the simulation before last.
The assassins in Tingyu Pavilion wouldn't dare attack me directly; otherwise, they wouldn't have resorted to such a roundabout method as using someone else to do their dirty work.
Once Li Qingyi understood the key to it, everything became clear.
"Since that's the case, let's go all out. At worst, we'll lose a corpse puppet, and maybe we can even use that identity to help Ling'er survive her death."
"At present, the person who poses the greatest threat to me is the Foundation Establishment cultivator whose entire clan was tragically wiped out."
Barefoot people aren't afraid of those wearing shoes; he had no ties and naturally wasn't afraid of my identity.
However, I still have the 'Netherworld God-Slaying Talisman' given to me by Senior Youhuang. As long as I seize the opportunity, I can kill it.
However... we should also make good use of Tingyu Pavilion's identity and see if we can rely on Tingyu Pavilion's assassins to kill them.
If we can, we can save a trump card; if not, there's not much we can do.
With this in mind, Li Qingyi began browsing the treasures that could be exchanged for with contribution points in Tingyu Pavilion.
The most urgent task is to find a disguised spiritual treasure that can block the detection of Foundation Establishment cultivators' divine sense.
Purple Mansion cultivators are extremely rare in the world. As long as he ensures that he is not discovered by Foundation Establishment cultivators, his dual identity can be established.
After some time searching, he finally found his target—
The ninth-tier spiritual treasure "Pseudo-Human Skin" can block the divine sense detection of Foundation Establishment cultivators.
This treasure also possesses considerable defensive capabilities, granting immunity to all attacks from Qi Refining Level 7 and below, and allowing it to freely change its form.
The price is also very attractive, at 8,000 contribution points.
"Eight thousand? That'll kill my liver..."
After saying that, Li Qingyi began to check the assassin missions using the assassin token of Tingyu Pavilion.
Li Qingyi has two things to do now:
First, complete more assassin missions to build your reputation and let the assassins of Tingyu Pavilion in Xuan Ce City know that you exist.
Second, earn more contribution points.
When the time is right, one can rightfully challenge the branch leader and seize power.
Li Qingyi glanced at the assassin rankings and realized that she couldn't even make it to the bottom, and didn't even deserve an assassin's codename.
The assassin rankings are based solely on contributions; the higher the contribution, the higher the ranking.
And once you're on the list, you can even give yourself a nickname.
"Why is the cultivation world so complicated..." Li Qingyi couldn't help but complain.
With a thought, he accepted the task of monitoring himself and began submitting real-time information.
Even the smallest mosquito leg is still meat.
It must be said that although the entire Xuan Kingdom deeply resents this organization, there are still quite a few people posting missions at Tingyu Pavilion.
Moreover, many of the missions involve revenge killings.
"They both need Tingyu Pavilion and fear it." Li Qingyi chuckled.
"Huh..." Li Qingyi raised an eyebrow when she saw an assassination mission. "Isn't this the woman I met at the blacksmith shop last night?"
Li Qingyi carefully examined the task:
"Assassinate Zhao Mengxi, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, who is at the fifth level of Qi Refining and is currently in Xuan Ce City. Reward: 1,000 contribution points."
The portrait accompanying the quest was none other than the woman they had met at the blacksmith's shop the previous night.
Li Qingyi: "No? Are you going to play this wild?"
The image of Zhao Mengxi curled up and trembling flashed through his mind.
"You're only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, what are you pretending to be, playing the innocent little rabbit for!"
Li Qingyi was speechless for a moment, and her heart sank. "Playing such a perverted game, is she targeting me?"
He wasn't concerned about the other party's strength; what was troublesome was her identity.
"The eldest daughter of the Zhao family..."
"Is it that Zhao family?" Li Qingyi raised an eyebrow. "If it really is that Purple Mansion Immortal Clan, who would dare to accept this?"
Li Qingyi pondered for a moment, then muttered to herself, "Could it be that she's here to meet me?"
"..."
"I really don't want to deal with this kind of pervert."
The sky was already bright, and the morning light illuminated Huanzhu Tower.
With a flick of his sleeve, Li Qingyi extinguished all the candles.
"Cultivating immortality is great; staying up all night doesn't have much of an effect. In my past life, staying up all night would have made me feel like I was dying the next morning." He stretched his limbs and muttered to himself.
Li Qingyi couldn't help but recall her university life in her previous life.
"If I return to Earth with this level of cultivation, will they be quite surprised?"
"Ha ha……"
Li Qingyi chuckled softly and stood on the balcony, gazing into the distance.
Just then, there were light footsteps behind me, and the door creaked open.
"It's only been a short time since Moon Fiend last came, and they've already changed leaders?"
Li Qingyi turned around and looked at the person who came in. Her eyes narrowed as she saw who it was.
