Regarding Elder Youjian's request, Qu Jianlei said that in principle, he was not opposed to it.
After all, the other party had supported him in the matter of the Baiyou Merchant Alliance—even if he had grumbled a little at first, he had still supported him.
However, for the relevant details, he suggested that Elder Youjian had best go communicate with True Venerable Qing'er. Of course, the premise was that Bai Qiao agreed.
Elder Youjian said very straightforwardly, "If Bai Qiao allowed him to help keep watch, that counts as tacit permission. This rumor isn't exactly a secret now."
"But Qingning's Dao Companion is still stabilizing her realm at present... Even if she can explain it, True Venerable Qu, you still have to step in."
"After all, you were the one who opened up this path. She merely followed your guidance."
It had to be said, the fact that he had been able to build up such a vast force truly had not come by luck. When he was arrogant, he was genuinely arrogant; when he praised someone, he did not hold back either.
At the very least, he could ignore the past grudges between the two sides and very naturally express: I acknowledge you as the original creator!
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei was not someone who could not withstand flattery. He answered very casually, "Lingyun has his own arrangements. Elder, why make things difficult for me?"
"Go find Bai Qiao," Han Li spoke up from the side. "True Venerable Qu accepted benefits from Qingning, so he can't make an exception."
But how could Elder Youjian be willing to accept that? He knew very well that True Venerable Qing'er had merely verified the new out-of-body path.
