Following Shen Qiqi's gaze, I saw a group of energetic young men and women walking towards this side in the bustling crowd.
The girl in the lead was wearing a white long dress. She had a fair face and delicate features. Her skirt fluttered and her long black hair flowed as she walked. Coupled with her gentle and quiet temperament, she looked like a banished immortal traveling in the mortal world, exuding an otherworldly aura from head to toe.
To be honest, Shen Ning'er is impeccable in both appearance and temperament.
Unfortunately, beauty is like a scorpion, killing without being seen.
Shen Qiqi frowned and asked Qingluo in a low voice: "What's going on? Why is Shen Ning'er here too?"
Shen Ning'er has been accepted as a disciple by the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable. Shouldn't she be in the Wuji Sect at this time? Why is she here?
Qingluo frowned when she heard this, bit her lip and struggled for a few times before she replied, "Miss, the eldest lady came back specially to accompany you."
"Accompany me?" Shen Qiqi's eyebrows were raised to the point of flying up. She snorted and asked, "Why does she accompany me?"
"I'm here to accompany you to the election. My eldest daughter said she was worried you'd be nervous, so she took some time off to come back and accompany you."
Qingluo looked around, suddenly lowered her voice, and leaned over to whisper in Shen Qiqi's ear.
"But I have a feeling that the young lady doesn't have such good intentions. She must be afraid that you will be elected and steal her limelight, so she came back specially to cause trouble and prevent you from participating in the election... Young lady, you must be careful and don't be fooled by her."
After Qingluo finished speaking, she bit her lip and glanced at Shen Qiqi uneasily. The latter felt bitter when she saw her.
It was the same in the previous life. Qingluo dared to say and do anything for her.
However, honest advice is always unpleasant to the ears, and she had never doubted Shen Ning'er's intentions towards her at that time. Therefore, every time Qingluo reminded her to be wary of Shen Ning'er, she not only did not believe Qingluo, but punished her for it.
After receiving the punishment, Qingluo recovered from her injuries and still worked hard to help her keep an eye on all the unusual movements around her like an eagle. Once she found anyone or anything that was not good for her, she would kill them without hesitation. If she couldn't kill them, they would run over to remind her, just like now.
But this time the little maid was wrong.
In order to keep her under her nose and control her, Shen Ning'er went to great lengths to persuade Wuji Sect to open its mountain gates and recruit disciples. How could she possibly stop her from participating in the election?
But there is no need to tell Qingluo about this.
Shen Qiqi nodded and said to her maid: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. By the way, you just said that Shen Ning'er was afraid that I would steal her limelight again, so she used the excuse of accompanying me to stop me from participating in the election... What's going on?"
Since she was reborn, she has only fought with Shen Ning'er twice, and she did get back some interest, causing Shen Ning'er to suffer.
But as for stealing the limelight... Shen Qiqi really couldn't remember when she had ever stolen Shen Ning'er's limelight.
Could it be something that happened before my rebirth?
If that's the case, then she's not so stupid that her brain is muddled.
Thinking of this, Shen Qiqi suddenly felt a little bit of anticipation.
Unfortunately, her expectations were quickly dashed.
Then Qingluo said, "It was the day of the young lady's birthday. The elders of the Jinyang Jiang family came with many gifts. The young lady thought the gifts were for her and happily went to receive them. However, the eldest elder of the Jiang family said that the gifts were for you..."
Qingluo chattered away, vividly describing what happened on Shen Qiqi's birthday.
"This girl cured a poison that so many doctors were helpless against. She's truly amazing!"
This is what Qingluo really thinks.
The little maid looked at her own girl with admiration.
Xie Beiming raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen Qiqi in surprise.
"You also know medicine?"
I never saw her treating anyone in her previous life.
But at the moment, Shen Qiqi's mind was on Shen Ning'er who was about to come to her. She didn't hear the strangeness in Xie Beiming's mood. She said "hmm" and looked warily at Shen Ning'er who was walking straight towards her.
After making such a fool of herself at her birthday party, and adding to the matter of the Lihuo Pill, Shen Ning'er is probably thinking of eating her alive. She can't wait to get her into the Wuji Sect and is ready to attack her now.
Otherwise, why would they bring such a large group of people to "welcome" her?
When the last ray of light in the sky faded, the long lanterns hanging in front of the shops lit up one after another. The hustle and bustle of the day did not stop with the arrival of night, but became even more lively.
They all stopped what they were doing, opened their mouths wide, looked at the girl with her skirt fluttering on the street in amazement, and exclaimed from time to time.
"Who is this girl? She's so beautiful. Could she be a fairy from heaven?"
"Although she didn't come from heaven, she's pretty much a fairy. She's the eldest daughter of the Shen family in Yuzhou. A while ago, she was spotted by the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable of the Wuji Sect and was accepted as his beloved disciple."
"So she is Miss Shen! No wonder I spotted her right away among so many people! This is what they say: Even a pearl may be covered in dust, but a kind heart can still be stunning!"
"What do you mean?"
"You don't know that Miss Shen has a younger sister. Because of her poor talent, she is still only a beginner spiritualist. That's why she is jealous of Miss Shen and is spreading bad things about her everywhere."
"No way, I heard that Miss Shen loves her younger sister very much, and she always gives her younger sister all the good things she has!"
"That's why I said that Mingzhu will eventually be covered in dust, but she will still be kind and stunning. Look, Miss Shen was framed like this, but in the end, she was still chosen by the Purple Spirit Immortal Venerable. She didn't even have to participate in the election and was directly promoted to the top in one step."
"That Second Miss Shen is so heartless. Miss Shen loves her so much, but she framed Miss Shen like this out of jealousy. How could there be such an ungrateful person in the world?"
“…”
I don't know where it started, but everyone's attention suddenly shifted from Shen Ning'er to Shen Qiqi.
Of course, focusing on the former is praise, while focusing on the latter is criticism.
Shen Ning'er listened to the condemnations and curled her lips complacently, waiting for Shen Qiqi to rush over in anger to argue with these people, or even to fight.
As the target of the crusade, Shen Qiqi was indeed unhappy, but she was not so crazy as to rush over and argue with others.
The rumors about her in her previous life were much more fierce than those now, so these rumors are of no consequence at all. She can say whatever she wants, she doesn't care.
But she didn't care. Qingluo was so angry that she clenched her fists and was about to rush over to argue with that group of people.
Shen Qiqi hurriedly reached out to hold her.
"Forget it, they have their mouths. You can control them for a while, but you can't control them for a lifetime."
"But……"
"Don't worry, if you rush out to argue with them now, you'll be fooled."
"Fooled?" Qingluo was puzzled. "Miss, who fooled you?"
"Being fooled by Miss Shen."
Xie Beiming suddenly said, although there was no anger on his face, but the fact that he said this already showed his attitude at the moment.
——Master Xie, very angry!
