Boarding Life

Chapter 845

On the surface, Qin Qi still curiously inquired, "City Lord Yuan, why are you helping me like this?"

After all, Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou aren’t only senior brothers and sisters, they’re also relatives by marriage!

Yuan Tianqing glanced at Qin Qi, "Although I am a person of the Tianlan Sect, perhaps it’s because I’ve been guarding the border for too long. For those who can be useful in eliminating the Evil Demon, I can’t help but favor them a little!"

"You have such abilities that are greatly useful in eliminating the Evil Demon. Naturally, I don’t want anything to happen to you!"

"Moreover, I am very clear about who Baiqing Residence and my senior sister really are."

Qin Qi couldn’t help feeling grateful, "Thank you, City Lord Yuan."

"No need to thank me."

Yuan Tianqing waved his hand, "This matter, I can’t help you much either. Within the Tianlan Sect, although my senior sister may not rule with an iron fist, she is second to none."

"However, I can indeed help you think of some solutions!"

Qin Qi asked curiously, "What solutions?"

Yuan Tianqing gave a faint smile, "You’ll know tomorrow. Consider this as a reward for you!"

Qin Qi looked puzzled.

Yuan Tianqing did not retain him for long. After a brief conversation, Qin Qi left.

...

Meanwhile, Bai Qingrou was also sympathetically arranging for Baiqing Residence.

Luo Yanran was there, attending to things with care, but Bai Qingrou gently reminded her, "Alright, you go down first and stand guard outside!"

Luo Yanran nodded lightly.

Once Luo Yanran had left, Bai Qingrou slowly spoke, "Alright, Luo Yanran is gone now. There’s no need for you to play the part anymore, get up!"

"These two pills of mine can easily heal even severe injuries. Let alone a mere blood spitting caused by irregular breathing!"

As expected, Baiqing Residence had already awakened as their master had said.

Once awake, he gritted his teeth and roared, "Master, I, I will definitely not let that Qin brat off!"

Bai Qingrou snorted softly, "Next time, leave yourself some room to maneuver in whatever you do. Never again make a rash Heart Demon vow when you’re uncertain!"

Baiqing Residence nodded, "Master, I understand."

Only then did Bai Qingrou softly say, "Rest assured, I won’t let that brat off either. But for the time being, he will still be needed in the coming battle against the Evil Demon!"

"For now, let him jump around for a bit. Once the battle against the Evil Demon is over, I’ll find a way to recover some pride for you."

"After all, your cultivation thoroughly surpasses his. When the time comes, I’ll manufacture an opportunity for you, and you can completely use it to eliminate him..."

Upon hearing this, Baiqing Residence’s face lit up with an expression of wild delight.

"Thank you, Master!"

"For now, I will endure him for some time!"

Bai Qingrou shook her head, "Had you broken through to the Core Formation Stage earlier, you wouldn’t have encountered such a predicament. Now, with the Heart Demon formed, it will be difficult to break through to the Core Formation Stage in the near term!"

...

In this way, time quickly passed to the next day.

Qin Qi was originally sitting cross-legged, cultivating, when his eyebrows suddenly raised as he sensed movement outside.

"Mr. Qin Qi!"

Seeing it wasn’t anyone else, but Luo Yanran, Qin Qi opened the door and stepped out. "Miss Luo, you came to find me yesterday, which displeased your husband. How is it that you dare come see me today?"

Luo Yanran took a deep breath, "I came to see you under my master’s orders. My husband can understand this!"

"Oh?"

Qin Qi raised his brow, "City Lord Yuan is looking for me again?"

"This time, it seems it isn’t my master seeking you, but someone else..." Luo Yanran said thoughtfully.

Qin Qi was puzzled, "Who?"

Luo Yanran shook her head, "A group of unfamiliar faces. In any case, let’s head over first!"

Qin Qi naturally had no objections.

Along the way, Luo Yanran hesitated several times as if she wanted to say something.

Seeing this, Qin Qi spoke up, "Miss Luo, if you have something to say, just say it directly!"

Luo Yanran took a deep breath, "Qin Qi, I have a favor to ask of you!"

"What is it?" Qin Qi asked.

Luo Yanran bit her lip gently, "Can you let my husband go?"

Qin Qi raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean by this? Didn’t things between me and your husband already pass? How can we talk about letting someone go or not?"

Luo Yanran sighed, "This matter may have passed, but my husband will definitely end up forming a Heart Demon over it."

"I hope that next time you encounter him, you can try to be patient with him. Don’t be so confrontational."

"Otherwise, my husband’s Heart Demon will only grow heavier..."

Qin Qi glanced at Luo Yanran.

The mindset in this Secret Realm is still very traditional.

This Baiqing Residence was so disrespectful to Luo Yanran, yet she was still entirely focused on him.

Thinking of this, he felt more intense within.

Damn it!

Baiqing Residence and Bai Qingrou want revenge, do they? I’ll damn well take Luo Yanran first.

That green hat, he will surely put it on Baiqing Residence’s head.

With this in mind, Qin Qi spoke with interest, "Oh, why should I agree to you? Your husband tried to cause trouble for me, as you saw for yourself!"

Luo Yanran sighed, "Qin Qi, as long as you’re willing to agree, I’m willing to do anything!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi immediately chuckled with glee.

The thing he most wanted to hear was someone saying they’re willing to do anything!

After all, these words gave him a lot of room to maneuver.

However, he didn’t rush to agree, "Alright, I can consider it!"

It’s just as well, Baiqing Residence’s cultivation far surpasses his own. If faced alone, he’d run away instead of confronting him.

As for when others are around, he could hold back, for he’s planning to go after his wife anyway.

Luo Yanran was still anxious, "Let me know your decision soon. This concerns my husband’s breakthrough to become a Core Formation Stage expert!"

And so, without further conversation,

Qin Qi and Luo Yanran proceeded to Yuan Tianqing’s residence together.

Upon arrival, Qin Qi found many people already seated within the residence.

Among them, both Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou were sitting in the main seats.

On the guest seats sat three people.

One of them, a woman who looked as young as a girl, sat on a chair with an air of maturity beyond her years.

Qin Qi recalled the talks between Luo Yanran and Zhang Ming, how one should not judge a woman’s appearance solely in the Secret Realm.

Though this woman appeared young, perhaps even more so than Luo Yanran, her cultivation was unfathomable, seemingly no less than Bai Qingrou’s!

Accompanying her were two more disciplined individuals, each of whom had reached the Core Formation Stage.

Qin Qi took a sharp breath.

Are there so many Core Formation Stage experts in the Secret Realm?

"Are you Qin Qi?"

The Core Formation Stage female cultivator, who appeared like a young girl, glanced at Qin Qi and spoke gently.

Qin Qi respectfully replied, "Yes, I am Qin Qi!"

The youthful-looking female cultivator smiled slightly at the corners of her mouth, "Achieving the fourth level of Foundation Building at such a young age. And I hear you’re from the Martial Arts District? Not bad."

"To reach this level of cultivation in such a place shows your exceptional talent."

"Bai Qingrou, Yuan Tianqing. Let us settle the matter: I will take Qin Qi with me!"
