According to MO Jiuzhou, not only was the Dayan Dynasty using it, but many evil Sects and families were using it as well.
If the Bai Family was really the mysterious force within the Dayan Dynasty, then it must be connected with Jin Tianfeng.
Thinking about it, the injury on Bai Liu might not be an actual injury, but a side effect of taking the Elixir.
In that case, this woman’s cultivation, along with her talent, might be somewhat terrifying.
Qin Changqing told Liu Siqi not to raise alarm; if the Bai Family was here to deal with him through Jin Tianfeng, they probably wouldn’t strike now.
If they were going to strike, they should have done so already.
Using such great efforts most likely signified that they were wary of the unknown expert from the Qin family.
“I need to find a way to bring her to the Qin Mansion,” Qin Changqing thought to himself.
No matter how powerful she is, as long as she isn’t a Nascent Soul, once she enters the Qin Mansion, she’ll have to submit to me!
On the other side.
Bai Liu took advantage of the break before dinner to return to her room, going through the hidden passage in her room to a secret chamber.
A black-clothed figure wearing a hood was waiting inside.
“How did it go, were you able to see the one secretly protecting him?”
Bai Liu’s demeanor changed from her previous weakness, and her gaze became cold and detached.
The black-clothed figure respectfully replied, “I couldn’t tell. Since he entered, we’ve been paying close attention, and there’ve been no suspicious figures around the Bai Mansion.”
Bai Liu frowned slightly. She hadn’t seen anything either, but Jin Tianfeng insisted that a Lingxiao Sect expert was secretly protecting Qin Changqing.
“Could it be a Nascent Soul Realm expert?”
If that was the case, then the difficulty of completing her plan would be greatly increased.
“My Lord, Guardian Han said that the City Lord wants to get rid of Qin
Changqing by any means necessary. He may be an important part of the Lingxiao Sect’s counterattack. The City Lord said that if necessary, some sacrifices could be made.”
Bai Liu coldly glanced at the black-clothed figure.
How could she not know what Jin Tianfeng’s words meant?
Sacrifice some things, that’s just telling her to take advantage of Qin Changqing’s lustful nature.
“Withdraw the people, ” Bai Liu gently said, “Acting rashly against him before fully understanding the situation would only push the Red Mill into an irretrievable predicament. Also, be careful not to expose yourselves. We can’t let Qin Changqing discover any clues.”
“Yes.”
“Also, tell Mr. Han to act like a dog with its tail between its legs in my presence. That kind of man disgusts me just by looking at him.”
The black-clothed figure hesitated for a moment, “Should I… really pass on the message like that?”
“What, do you think that because he follows the City Lord, his power in the Red Mill will surpass mine in the future and he won’t have to listen to my commands?”
Guardian Han was originally from the Red Mill.
As the liaison between the Red Mill and the City Lord, he had won the trust of the City Lord.
Bai Liu recalled several instances where he tried to gain favor with her.
The more she thought about it, the more disgusted she felt.
Men, not a single one of them was good.
They claim to like you, but the moment they gain even the slightest benefit, their faces change in an instant. “This subordinate doesn’t dare.”
“Then go.”
The black-clothed figure left after receiving the order.
Bai Liu composed herself, adjusted her emotions, and quickly returned to her previous weak and soft appearance.
It seemed that force wouldn’t work, so she’d have to resort to a more gentle approach.
The Bai Family’s banquet was quite simple, with only three tables of food prepared and only allowing higher-ranking family members to attend.Qin Changqing saw many people smiling and nodding at him, showing none of the usual demeanor of cultivators. It looked more like a rural banquet than a family gathering.
He sat with Liu Siqi, and at the same table was Bai Shi and several key personnel from Bai Family. They were quite humble in their attitude, showing great reverence towards Qin Changqing.
Bai Liu sat to his right, quietly eating her food, seemingly oblivious to the bustle around her.
If he didn’t know about the matter of the Disaster-Alleviating and Breaking Soul elixir, Qin Changqing would have been deceived by her pretense – her acting skills were simply flawless.
“Steward Qin, is there any solution to my daughter’s health problem?” After a couple of drinks, Bai Shi suddenly asked.
Qin Changqing sighed, “To my disgrace, I have limited knowledge of medical skills. However, I do know a bit about elixirs and am aware of one that can repair Miss Bai Liu’s meridians, but it is very expensive and I might need to ask my Master for help.”
“However, my Master has been in seclusion for many years, toiling hard in his studies for the pursuit of the great Dao. Therefore, it might be difficult…”
“I understand, ” Bai Shi pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth, “Steward Qin, I sincerely ask for your help. As long as Bai Family can do it, we will do our utmost best to assist you, no matter what you ask! ”
“That’s not necessary,” Qin Changqing said with a faint smile, “I feel an instant connection with Miss Bai Liu, as if we were old friends. Rest assured, I’ll take care of this matter. However, it might take some time.”
Qin Changqing had no intention of asking for medicine for Bai Family.
No way! Why would he help her when she would just use it to heal and then try to kill him?
“Thank you, Steward Qin!” Bai Shi said excitedly.
“You’re welcome, you’re welcome.”
Qin Changqing smiled, but he couldn’t help but think about how he was going to deceive Bai Liu into coming to Qin Family.
At this moment, the person sitting across from him suddenly sighed, “Master, Wu Family came to propose marriage again today. With the City Lord backing them, I’m afraid they won’t give up on Liu’er that easily.”
“Again?” Bai Shi frowned.
“Not only that, Zhou Family, Qian Family, and other families have also come to propose marriage recently.”
Everyone at the table looked worried.
“Father…” Bai Liu put down her chopsticks, her face somber, “All of Bai Family’s troubles are because of me. If I leave Bai Family, there won’t be any more problems. You won’t be so worried either.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Bai Shi said sternly, ‘You are my daughter. If I don’t protect you, who will?”
“But… our family is in crisis, there’s no way out if this continues.”
“Even if you’re not in Bai Family, where can you go?”
Bai Liu stood up, looked at Qin Changqing, gently bit her lower lip, then bowed and said, “Mr. Qin, I know this request is a bit unreasonable, but if Qin Family is willing to protect us, I am willing to serve as a maidservant by your side.
Please take pity on me.”
What’s that saying again?
Just as you’re getting sleepy, someone sends you a pillow.
Qin Changqing was still worrying, but when he heard Bai Liu’s words, he felt his heart lighten up.
He smiled gently, “Miss Bai Liu, you’re too kind. Since I’ve accepted the invitation to come here, it proves that Qin Family is on your side. And since I feel a connection with you, I would love to hear more of your music, and if you could play the flute for me, that would be even better.”
“Mr. Qin agrees?”
A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Liu’s eyes, which she quickly concealed.
She had thought that if Qin Changqing refused or showed suspicion, she would find another opportunity.
But she didn’t expect him to agree so easily.
Well, with Qin Family’s current prestige, who would dare to openly offend them besides those Seventh-Rank families?
And Qin Changqing was an old lecher after all.
It was obvious why he agreed to protect Bai Family.
“Of course I agree,” Qin Changqing said nonchalantly, “It’s just a small matter.”
“It may be a small matter to you, but to Bai Family, it’s a great favor. I do have some knowledge of flute and music, so I hope you won’t mind,” Bai Liu said gratefully.
“Not at all, I won’t mind it.”
Bai Shi and the others exchanged glances, then all showed a mysterious smile..
