It's Like Doing Something Bad Behind Bestie's Back

It was at this moment.

"Qinglan, don't waste your time on one person; you need to focus on the bigger picture."

"I know you suffered some losses with him, but losses are also a form of growth."

The voluptuous figure behind the curtain seemed to see something in this Martial Niece's eyes, and gently advised.

Her voice carried a hint of melancholy, full of the maturity of someone who had been there.

"Martial Uncle, what... what should I do? I can't get over this hurdle in my heart."

Ye Qinglan was awakened by the voice and asked in a low voice.

She knew her mentality was wrong, but she didn't know how to adjust it, so she could only seek guidance.

"Put your attention on the upcoming Fish Dragon Banquet; that's what you should be paying attention to."

"At that time, dignitaries will gather, Heaven's Chosen will meet, and it will be an excellent moment to verify the gold content of a True Dragon."

"And to verify these, you need a whetstone; do you understand?"

In that mature voice, there was a contempt for that young man.

In her eyes, the so-called Young Master of the Realm Protectorate was just a part of the entertainment.

Ye Qinglan's eyes were thoughtful after hearing this.

"As the Goddess of this generation of Sacred Purity Mountain, you should have your own pride."

"It's not worth wasting too much energy on someone who is destined to be a stepping stone."

The voice came again from behind the curtain.

Her voice was somewhat gentle, obviously comforting her carefully.

No matter how you look at it, this is like a good Martial Uncle who is working hard and taking care of her Martial Niece in every possible way.

In the Realm Protectorate.

Su Qing sneezed a few times, suddenly feeling a burst of malice, and felt a little unhappy.

Pa pa pa!

Slaps were constantly raised and dropped, and his thoughts became much clearer.

"I didn't do anything, why are you teaching me a lesson?!"

Chen Chu Ci covered the place where she was hit, making a sad and indignant sound.

Having just been untied, she was still unable to resist due to the effects of the drug.

"I think someone is talking bad about me, and you are the biggest suspect."

Su Qing gave a very straightforward answer.

After hearing this, the teeth of the little brat girl were gnashing.

Now, she finally discovered someone even more wicked than herself!

If she could, she wanted to bite him hard.

"Tell me where the remaining Heavenly Principles Sect members are in the Capital, and if there are any follow-up actions."

Su Qing directly ignored her gaze and asked.

He didn't mind the malice of his cooperation partner, as long as they were obedient.

Anyway, he was the one in control now, so he didn't need to worry about her causing any trouble.

Next up was question time.

He did know a lot about the Heavenly Principles Sect.

But his understanding was only clear on some major events and key figures.

He wasn't very clear on some scattered details, so he needed to integrate the information through the Saintess.

See if there was any information that could be used, and it could also be directly used to ask for credit.

Side quests should be completed whenever possible.

It's free anyway!

On the other side.

A hint of suspicion flashed in Chen Chu Ci's eyes.

You have a high-level insider in the Heavenly Principles Sect, and you don't know about these actions?

No, he's clearly testing my attitude!

Once the information from both sides is compared, if what I say is wrong...

Thinking of the rocking chair just now, she felt a chill down her spine.

The Saintess quickly corrected her attitude and began to speak.

The main thing was to say everything she knew without holding back, how dare she hide anything?

Looking at the young man whose expression hadn't changed, the heart of the mischievous girl became more and more fearful.

"Finished? That's all?"

Su Qing raised his eyebrows and asked.

"This is all the information I know."

Chen Chu Ci hurriedly said, seeing that he seemed a little dissatisfied.

She didn't hold back anything, and basically said everything she knew.

And there were no mistakes, for fear of being seen through and then bullied severely.

"Alright."

Su Qing spat out two words with some disappointment.

This candidate Saintess doesn't seem to be up to par; the intelligence isn't very important.

Even including the assassination attempt at the Fish Dragon Banquet... Oh well, forget it.

This information is more than enough to earn rewards from the Yan Emperor, so it's barely satisfactory.

"Young Master Su, what's with your attitude? Aren't we supposed to be partners?"

"Partnership requires equal sincerity. Where is your sincerity?"

Chen Chu Ci looked at the somewhat reluctant expression on the young man's face and said with dissatisfaction.

I've already said so much; isn't it your turn to perform next?

She looked up at the young man, and couldn't help but shrink her neck the moment their eyes met.

"Eldest Miss Chen, I didn't hear what you said clearly. Could you repeat it?"

Su Qing said with a gentle smile on his face.

A beautiful young man showing such an expression could make any woman who saw it lose her mind.

"I... I'll give you a maximum of three days. You have to give me an explanation."

Chen Chu Ci's tone weakened by a third at that moment.

She had to admit that the other party was indeed a very good-looking young man.

His smile was also very approachable, but she felt a cold wind blowing down her back.

The room fell into a brief silence.

For a moment, no one spoke, and the little devil girl quietly swallowed her saliva.

In this silence, the pressure seemed to be increasing.

But she also had a bottom line. This was cooperation, not her working for him for free...

Knock, knock, knock.

The door was knocked at that moment.

Upon hearing this sound, Chen Chu Ci finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

As expected of her good Elder Sister, appearing at this critical moment like a divine soldier descending from heaven!

"Chu Ci, are you inside?"

Qin Lan Shan's concerned voice rang out at the door.

The Shopkeeper originally wanted to go to her Bestie's room to chat with her, but she couldn't find her.

Because of their previous conversation, she immediately thought of where the other party might be.

Just ask first, there shouldn't be any harm in that.

"I'm here."

Chen Chu Ci quickly restrained her emotions and pulled up a chair to sit down.

She didn't know why, but there was an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart.

It was as if... she was doing something bad behind her bestie's back.

Qin Lan Shan immediately pushed the door open after hearing the voices inside.

She glanced inside and saw the two people sitting at the table.

Su Qing naturally didn't need to be mentioned, but her bestie was leaning next to him.

The distance between the two was quite close, one might even say a little dangerous.

Her bestie still looked like a dignified and reserved talented woman, but Qin Lan Shan just felt something was off.

How to describe it?

Without the previous infatuation, she was like a girl next door leaning on him.

Regaining her previous composure was indeed a good thing.

However, this kind of composure seemed even more terrifying, because her bestie knew what she was doing.
