He Changsheng said nothing. In this matter, he was sure that the other party would be defeated and was not afraid that the other party would not comply.
For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen and filled with dullness.
Qi Zhu chose to endure the humiliation. Compared with her senior sister, compromising with a scoundrel was simply a trivial matter.
"I beg you!"
His voice was a little low, so He Changsheng stopped talking while he was ahead, and then explained with great emotion: "This is natural. Before I set foot in the immortal way, I was all alone and helpless, with no relatives to turn to. If it weren't for Sister Bai's help, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I didn't expect Sister Bai to be a cultivator, she was so hard to hide from me. If I had known this, I wouldn't have bothered to go to such great lengths to learn from her. I could have just accepted Sister Bai as my teacher."
These words were not false. If his predecessor had not had Bai Miaoyin's help, he might not have been able to survive until the day of his time travel.
Qi Zhu's expression eased a bit, seeing that the other party didn't seem to be pretending, but she couldn't help but ask again: "You two just met by chance, why would my senior sister help you? Are you hiding something from me?!"
He Changsheng glanced at her and said with disdain, "Compared to Sister Bai, your level of thinking is completely different. Sister Bai treats people kindly. Isn't it possible for neighbors to lend a helping hand?"
When Qi Zhu heard this, it seemed to make sense. Her senior sister was the best person in the world, so it was not surprising that she did something that was difficult for her to understand.
She then quickly asked, "Then where is my senior sister right now?"
This is the key point. The previous question was just to test He Changsheng. Now it seems that there is no problem.
He Changsheng's eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly, "Sister Bai has hidden her identity. She must have some compelling reason. It's very likely that she's hiding from you. Sister Bai has been so kind to me, how could I possibly betray her? I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible."
Qi Zhu was so anxious that she couldn't help but blurt out, "That's impossible. Senior Sister must be trying to avoid being tracked down by the Yaochi Holy Land. If you really want to do this for her own good, tell me her whereabouts right away."
He Changsheng smiled and shook his head, expressing his disbelief.
He had some different opinions on what Qi Zhu said.
Although it is true that Bai Miaoyin is being tracked by the Yao Chi Holy Land based on the information we have learned so far, there are still many unclear points.
For example, how do the other people in Xiaohe Village explain it? It’s impossible that they are all trying to avoid being tracked by the Yaochi Holy Land.
Therefore, there must be some unknown hidden secret.
Qi Zhu was very angry, but she could do nothing about He Changsheng. This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
But then again, she wasn't disgusted by He Changsheng's behavior.
Otherwise, if anyone asked the other party about Bai Miaoyin's whereabouts and the other party answered without reservation, then her senior sister's situation would be in danger.
Thinking this way, Qi Zhu felt much better. She would rather not see her senior sister than put Bai Miaoyin in danger.
Finally, he said helplessly: "Then tell me, what do you want me to do to make you believe me?"
He Changsheng hesitated and said, "We just met by chance. How can I believe your one-sided words and trust you without reservation, unless..."
Qi Zhu's eyes lit up and he said, "Unless what? If you have something to say, just say it."
He Changsheng thought for a moment and said with an embarrassed look, "I see that you are sincere to Sister Bai. Leave me some collateral so that I can feel more at ease."
Qi Zhu: “…”
It sounds like something is not right, but if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any necessary connection between these two things.
But in order to meet her senior sister as soon as possible, she was too lazy to delve into it. Perhaps the other party's thinking process was just not normal.
They were just some material possessions, she didn't care about them.
In the end, Qi Zhu left a mid-grade spiritual weapon and 10,000 spirit stones as collateral, and agreed that He Changsheng would return them after confirming that everything was correct when they met next time.
He Changsheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the little sick girl was actually a rich woman. If he had known earlier, he should have asked for a top-grade spiritual weapon as collateral.
As expected of Chen Li’s disciple, even his wealth and power are inherited from him.
But words spoken cannot be taken back, so He Changsheng reported the address of Xiaohe Village with deep regret.
He Changsheng asked casually, "I have some important things to do next. Do you want to continue following me or go wandering around on your own?"
Qi Zhu was speechless. The other party didn't take Li Daocun's words to heart at all. He just left the house and wanted to leave her behind.
She really wanted to deliberately follow He Changsheng and cause trouble for him.
But she was already eager to set off for Xiaohe Village.
Qi Zhu thought about it and prepared to leave quietly to avoid being questioned by Li Daocun. After all, it was Shi Chengzhi who entrusted her to Li Daocun, and Li Daocun would most likely not let her leave.
Just as he was about to leave, he was suddenly stopped by He Changsheng.
Qi Zhu looked puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do now?"
He Changsheng pointed in the direction of the hall where Li Daocun was and said, "If you want to leave Yuhua Xianzong, you should go and inform him. Otherwise, if you leave with me and I lose you, it will be difficult to explain."
According to the original trajectory, he should not have received Qi Zhu in the simulation. Normally, Qi Zhu should have come to him right after him, so Li Daocun could not blame him for Qi Zhu sneaking away.
He Changsheng couldn't help but feel fortunate that he reacted quickly this time, otherwise, who knows what would have gone wrong.
Qi Zhu wanted to refuse, but she was not as strong as the other party, who seemed determined not to let her leave unless she agreed.
Forget it, forget it, I'll just endure it one last time. Does Li Daocun dare to lock her up again?
In this way, even if she is rejected by the other party, she can always find a chance to slip away.
Thinking of this, Qi Zhu turned back the same way she came. As expected, Li Daocun immediately expressed his opposition to her idea of leaving the sect.
Qi Zhu didn't think that she had to get the other party's consent. Anyway, her meaning was very clear. She just wanted to clear He Changsheng from this matter.
Li Daocun said earnestly: "If you have anything to do, why do you have to do it yourself? Just tell me and I will definitely help you get it done."
Qi Zhu nodded and said casually, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle. It's not a big deal. It's just that my cultivation has been a bit shackled recently, so I wanted to go out and gain some experience. In that case, I won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Looking at Qi Zhu's departing figure, Li Daocun vaguely felt that things were not as simple as the other party said.
But he did what he should do and persuaded everyone he should persuade. The legs were on the other person's body, so he couldn't just lock him up, right?
If anything unexpected happens later, it won’t be his fault.
