Chapter 735: The Goddess Society
After returning, Qin Qi searched for information about the Holy Maiden Association on the Martial Arts District network.
He didn’t know before, but once he searched, he did find some things about the Holy Maiden Association.
And the most information he found was about the four legendary beauties of the Martial Arts District!
The woman ranked first among the four legendary beauties, surpassing even Ming Yao, is a member of the Holy Maiden Association, her name is Wenren Xiaoxian!
"Wenren Xiaoxian!" Qin Qi stroked his chin, "The name sounds pleasant, but there are no photos of her online, yet she’s ranked first!"
This made him exceptionally surprised.
It should be noted that both the second-ranked Ming Yao and the fourth-ranked Gu Xiaoyou have photos online.
But only the number one ranked Wenren Xiaoxian has no photos at all online. This made Qin Qi very curious about how she managed to rank first.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder, "What exactly are these sorcerers? Can the Ming Family’s divination techniques really be that accurate?"
A mysterious woman’s lazy voice sounded, "Throughout history, those who tell fortunes are actually sorcerers. However, most sorcerers come from a nomadic background, where there are many frauds, so their reputation is not very good."
"Most sorcerers primarily study the Book of Changes, while some others study different methods."
"But the basic principle is the same, they all study divination techniques. The Ming Family is most likely a branch of sorcerers, with expertise passed down through generations. For them to establish themselves in the Martial Arts District, their skills in deduction must be quite right."
After being briefed by the mysterious woman, Qin Qi gained some understanding of the sorcerers.
Having researched all afternoon, Qin Qi immediately made a decision.
Tonight, he would go to the Holy Maiden Association to investigate.
However, as he was going downstairs, he saw a familiar figure.
Upon closer inspection, wasn’t it Wan Huarou?
"Qin Qi, when did you come back?" Wan Huarou immediately approached, linking arms with Qin Qi, and asked with concern.
"I just returned today," Qin Qi replied truthfully.
Wan Huarou pouted, her face full of jealousy.
Qin Qi had stayed at the Ming Family’s place overnight yesterday.
Could Ming Yao, that temptress who devours men without spitting out the bones, let Qin Qi get away?
It was previously rumored several times that geniuses fought over Ming Yao. She was truly afraid Qin Qi would fall for her charms.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Qi said, amused yet exasperated.
Wan Huarou bit her lip, "Did Ming Yao do anything to you?"
Qin Qi couldn’t help but burst into laughter at Wan Huarou’s question.
This little girl, she’s truly adorable.
What could Ming Yao do to him? Instead, he had done quite a bit to Ming Yao.
Of course, he couldn’t say that directly, so he said, "The main reason for my visit to the Ming Family was to find out about my disciple’s whereabouts. What are you thinking?"
"Did you find out?" Wan Huarou finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
Qin Qi nodded, "Patriarch Ming told me my disciple is most likely within the Holy Maiden Association."
"Holy Maiden Association?" Wan Huarou’s expression turned serious, biting her lip, "Are you planning to directly go to the Holy Maiden Association to demand a person?"
"Yes, that’s right!" Qin Qi said.
Wan Huarou’s tone was heavy, "Let me go with you; the people of the Holy Maiden Association are not easy to deal with."
"What do you mean?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.
Wan Huarou snorted lightly, "The people of the Holy Maiden Association usually don’t interact with outsiders because they are all quite proud. Demanding someone from them is no easy task."
"Those who enter the Holy Maiden Association generally cut off all ties with the outside world. Whether your disciple still acknowledges you as their master is another unknown."
Qin Qi raised an eyebrow, "Is it that exaggerated?"
"You’ll find out when you get there." Wan Huarou curled her lips, clearly looking down on the Holy Maiden Association’s people.
Qin Qi really couldn’t argue.
Because if Wu Shuangshuang was really taken away by the Holy Maiden Association, it at least meant she was safe.
Since she was safe, yet didn’t contact him or her family, it just proved what Wan Huarou was saying, didn’t it?
Though unsure of the situation, he had to go to the Holy Maiden Association now to ensure Wu Shuangshuang’s safety.
With Wan Huarou accompanying him, Qin Qi naturally did not mind.
Soon, Wan Huarou drove Qin Qi to the outskirts of the Martial Arts District.
In the outskirts of the Martial Arts District, there was a winding mountain range.
To the left of this mountain range was the Ore Vein Mountain, but what was to the right, Qin Qi did not know.
Wan Huarou clearly knew the location of the Holy Maiden Association. After reaching the foot of the mountain, she headed straight for the right side of the mountains.
"Let’s go, the Holy Maiden Association is at the mid-mountain position, it’s quite a journey there. And it’s uncertain whether the people of the Holy Maiden Association will want to see us," Wan Huarou shrugged.
The two chatted as they walked up the mountain path.
After more than half an hour, they stopped in front of a mountain villa.
This mountain villa was built beautifully, blending perfectly with the surrounding scenery, as if it had stepped out of a painting.
However, the entire villa was deserted, except for a large golden bell placed at the gate.
"Is this the Holy Maiden Association?" Qin Qi asked, confused.
"Yes." Wan Huarou made a couple of humming sounds, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Qin Qi was a little befuddled, "Why is there no one around?"
Wan Huarou shrugged, "I told you, the people of the Holy Maiden Association love to be mysterious. They disdain interacting with outsiders and don’t want people from the outside to find them."
"To see them, you have to ring this bell. Whether you can actually meet them, depends on luck."
After speaking, Wan Huarou smacked the bell with her palm.
The bell emitted a loud sound, echoing throughout the mountain.
Unfortunately, after more than ten minutes went by.
No one appeared within the villa.
"See, I told you, coming here today means expecting to see them is uncertain."
Qin Qi curiously asked, "Can’t we just break in?"
"This..." Wan Huarou hesitated, "We can’t. If we do break in, then we are in the wrong. Although I don’t like the Holy Maiden Association, they do have some abilities, it’s best not to provoke them."
Qin Qi hesitated.
Wan Huarou was usually fearless, largely due to being the Wan Family’s heir.
If even she advised not to provoke them, it meant the Holy Maiden Association was indeed formidable.
"One knock doesn’t work, then knock several times." Qin Qi wasn’t ready to give up easily.
He personally handled it, slapping it with seventy to eighty percent of his strength.
Despite that, the echo was clearly several times stronger than the effect Wan Huarou had made.
The sound reverberated throughout the mountain a dozen times before gradually fading away.
So much so, that people in the nearby suburb immediately heard the bell sound.
"Huh? Someone’s provoking the people of the Holy Maiden Association?"
"We have entertainment, let’s go watch. I wonder who got bored enough to go provoke the people of the Holy Maiden Association!"
Back with Qin Qi.
Qin Qi had already planned to ring it a second time.
Suddenly, from inside the villa, a graceful figure leaped out.
Then, with a fairy-like poise, she elegantly touched down.
This figure was enchanting, like a fairy descending to the mortal world, capturing attention at first glance.
