For the sake of stability and peace in Tianyue counties, the Guishen and Dingwu departments have reached the point where both departments have their managers stay behind to handle all affairs personally.
Who would not praise such a thing for being wholeheartedly for the people? Jiang Hengchuan admired both Ye and Wu for taking charge.
"I have met Mr. Ye and Mr. Wu several times, and they are indeed conscientious and responsible." Zhou Qing nodded and asked:
"What about the other forces in Tianyue City?"
"Under the call of the Tianyue government, they have repeatedly sent reinforcements to various counties, and now they have reached their limit."
Jiang Hengchuan said: "After all, these are forces that are based on themselves. They can't be like the Ghost and God Division and the Dingwu Division."
"They have done their best and no one can find fault with them."
"These forces must first ensure their own inheritance and development. The safety of their bases and resource areas all need to be considered."
"That's true."
There is still a difference between government power and civilian power.
Even though there is only one Xiansheng Xisui left guarding the Ghost and God Dingwu Division, few people dare to attack the two divisions.
Rushing into the two divisions in Tianyue City to commit crimes, what is the difference between this and treason? Even if he succeeded at that time, he would be suppressed by the iron-blooded Da Qi later.
Moreover, as long as the two officials and the county governor are in Tianyue City, they can control the city defense formation and suppress all the villains.
Therefore, the weakness of the two officials does not really mean that they have no ability to resist.
As long as the two divisions are in good control, Tianyue City will remain stable. With the two of them around, they will be better than many masters in the Manifestation of Sainthood and Washing Marrow realm.
It is precisely for this reason that although Zhou Qing and Lu Qingmo considered the possibility that the evil cultivators were active in various counties and wanted to lure the tiger away from the mountain, they later rejected this conjecture.
It won't be a big problem if you transfer the other people away. The three giants of Tianyue are still here and the city defense formation can be activated, so there will be no problem.
And at such a special moment, the two chiefs and the county magistrate would definitely not leave Tianyue City.
Of course, although this conjecture was rejected, Lu Qingmo still talked about this matter with Ye Chong and reminded him.
Ye Chong also replied to her, saying that he would be careful in the county town.
Zhou Qing and Lu Qingmo could think of the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so naturally so many people in Tianyue City could also think of it. There is no shortage of smart people in the world.
However, the evil cultivators have not taken any further action, which is very puzzling.
It seems as if they just want to cause damage and create panic in the counties of Tianyue, which is puzzling.
After chatting with Jiang Hengchuan for a while, Zhou Qing returned to Taibai Martial Arts School.
Bai Ruoyue did not take Zhou Qing out today. She stayed in the martial arts hall, staying with everyone and enjoying the last reunion time.
Tomorrow morning is the time for Bai Ruoyue and the others to leave.
Time passed, and in the evening, everyone cooked a meal by themselves. There was constant laughter and joy, and the atmosphere was harmonious and there was no sign of sadness of separation.
After dinner, Zhou Qing was alone with Bai Ruoyue again.
Bai Ruoyue looked up at the moon with a faint smile on her face.
"It's great. I will never forget such a day."
"There will definitely be times like this in the future." Zhou Qing smiled and said:
"Big sister, I have another gift for you."
"Ah? There are gifts?"
Bai Ruoyue was stunned for a moment, "Junior Brother, you...have too many gifts."
"How can I give you so much as a gift, Senior Sister?" Zhou Qing said in a gentle voice, "I am willing to give you everything I have."
Bai Ruoyue smiled and said, "You want to give it to me, but I don't want it yet."
"I'm afraid I'll be drowned by your treasure."
"It won't reach your head."
Zhou Qing smiled and took out the third gift he wanted to give to Bai Ruoyue.
A glowing pearl with the shadow of a dragon inside.
This was exactly what he opened from the two-colored treasure chest, a dragon ball from a double-layered Venerable True Dragon who had cultivated to the realm of Yin God and True Blood at the same time.
That is the one that was rejected by the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone and that he was unable to refine.
Although the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone repels it, it does not mean that this dragon ball is not a treasure. It is just that the True Dragon Blood Soul Stone is a higher-level treasure of the same kind.
After refining the dragon balls, they can cleanse your bones and marrow, increase your potential, and improve your talents.
In fact, because in the subsequent practice, the dragon balls will continuously release power to be refined and absorbed by the practitioners, the practitioners' practice speed will also be greatly improved.
The True Dragon Blood Soul Stone in Zhou Qing's body plays just such a role, but it is more advanced than the Dragon Ball and completely covers this Dragon Ball.
But if Bai Ruoyue uses it, it will be different.
She had not used higher-level dragon balls or other superior treasures, but she could completely refine this dragon ball and bring out amazing effects.
With this dragon ball, Bai Ruoyue's potential and talent will be further enhanced, and the speed of her future cultivation will also be increased.
Although this thing is only at the level of Yin God's true blood, it can benefit people for a lifetime.
The improvement of potential and the increase in the speed of practice will enable people to reach a certain level more quickly and then pursue higher realms.
One step faster, all steps faster, that’s the truth.
In Zhou Qing's eyes, the Dragon Ball is a pearl covered in dust. In the future, at most it will be used as a material for alchemy.
But for Bai Ruoyue, it has endless effects and can create a strong person.
It should be noted that many peerless masters in history, their initial opportunities were only at the level of Yin Shen True Blood.
After getting the initial opportunity, he gradually gathered the wind and clouds and ascended to the sky and turned into a dragon.
After listening to Zhou Qing's explanation of the wonders of Dragon Ball, Bai Ruoyue fell silent. After a long while, she said softly:
"Little Junior Brother, you have given me too many things."
Zhou Qing frowned slightly, "Big Sister, if you don't want it, then I will go directly to Master and give him the Dragon Ball, saying that this is my betrothal gift."
"I believe that Master will definitely accept it."
Bai Ruoyue's face flushed, and she said coquettishly, "What betrothal gift? What are you talking about?"
Zhou Qing deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Big Sister, you don't want my things. Are you thinking of cutting them off with me after you go to Yujing and see the world?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly do that?" Bai Ruoyue hit Zhou Qing and then said:
"I just feel that you've helped me so much, but I can't give you anything..."
At this point, Bai Ruoyue paused, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you, Junior Brother, but it's just...not as good as what you gave me."
When she spoke the latter part, Bai Ruoyue's voice became a little small, and she obviously lacked confidence.
The gift her lover gave her was too precious. When she looked at what she had prepared, she felt that it didn't match, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Zhou Qing's eyes lit up, "You prepared a gift for me too?"
"Let me take a look."
"It's not a precious treasure, just an ordinary piece of jade."
Bai Ruoyue took out a jade image from her arms. The jade was actually the image of a boy, but Zhou Qing could not recognize his identity.
"This is what my father gave me. My mother gave it to him. It is said to be my mother's ancestral jade statue."
Bai Ruoyue said: "I was thinking of giving you this jade, but compared to your things..."
Zhou Qing took the jade statue without waiting for Bai Ruoyue to finish speaking, and said with a smile: "I like it very much, Senior Sister, you can't regret it."
Bai Ruoyue curved her eyebrows and whispered, "As long as you like it."
Zhou Qing asked again: "But this is my master's wife's heirloom, is it okay to give it to me?"
"It's okay. When my mother and my father got together, she gave him this jade." Bai Ruoyue explained softly, "According to my mother, the elders in the past would give the jade to themselves..."
Bai Ruoyue couldn't continue speaking, her face became redder and redder. The effect of this jade was obvious.
It was specially given by Ling Yue's lineage to their other half!
And Bai Ruoyue gave him the jade at this time, and the meaning was very clear.
If you don't give up, I wish...
"Anyway, this is the inheritance jade, passed down from generation to generation. Now it's passed to me, and I can decide where it goes."
Zhou Qing held the jade statue and said seriously:
"I will keep it well and it will never be lost or damaged."
Bai Ruoyue gathered her hair and said, "This piece of jade is very hard and will not be damaged. My mother and father said that this piece of jade is said to be a fairy jade given to our ancestors by an immortal. However, the clan members of all generations have not discovered the special features of this jade. It is just very hard."
"After a while, it was passed down."
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Of course, this hardness only means that it will not break even if it is accidentally dropped, and no expert can take action to destroy it.
This is the ancestral jade statue of Ling Yue's lineage. Who would be crazy enough to test the strength of this jade?
"Fairy jade?" Zhou Qing looked at the jade statue, but didn't find anything special about it.
Many generations of the Ling family had not noticed anything wrong, and he obviously didn't have the ability to do so.
Besides, it's just a legend and can't be taken seriously.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Then I am taking advantage of you, Senior Sister. This is something from the immortal family, it cannot be compared to a dragon ball."
Bai Ruoyue shook her head, "It's just a legend, it's not the real fairy jade."
"You said it's fairy jade, then it must be fairy jade." Zhou Qing handed over the dragon ball again.
"Can you accept my betrothal gift now?"
"Um."
Bai Ruoyue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, and not at all as impetuous as usual.
She took the dragon ball, and Zhou Qing said while the iron was hot: "Big sister, you should refine the dragon ball now. It's not difficult to refine this thing."
It is said to be refining, but in fact it is to leave one's own mark on it and then store it in the sea of qi, so that the power of the dragon ball can be used by oneself in the future.
If one wants to completely digest the dragon ball, that would be a very long process. It would probably take Bai Ruoyue until she approaches the true blood realm before she can do this.
Bai Ruoyue did as she was told. She knew how to refine a treasure, so there was no danger.
So when Bai Ruoyue was refining the dragon ball, Zhou Qing was looking at the jade statue in his hand.
This jade is of excellent quality. If it were placed in the mundane world where there is no extraordinary power, it would probably be a national treasure.
Holding the jade statue in his hand, he felt a warm sensation. The boy looked naive and cute, giving Zhou Qing a feeling of being a cute baby.
"The immortal gave me jade?"
Zhou Qing thought to himself, pondering the possibility that this was true.
He tried to explore the jade with his mental power, but the feedback he got was no different from that of ordinary jade.
After examining it for a while, Zhou Qing finally found nothing unusual about the jade, so he stopped paying attention to it.
It's just a legend, it's fine to just listen to it, there's no need to keep it in your heart and worry about it.
The fact that Ling Yue's ancestors were able to pass down this jade from generation to generation and even give it to others as a gift already shows a lot. At least the Ling family never found anything wrong.
For Zhou Qing, it doesn’t matter what the origin of this jade is.
What matters is its meaning now.
It can almost be regarded as a token of love between him and Bai Ruoyue.
This is the meaning, and that is enough.
Whether it is fairy jade or not, let it be.
Zhou Qingshou stood beside Bai Ruoyue, staring at her intently. Bai Ruoyue in this state had a different kind of beauty.
She has a beautiful face, with natural green eyebrows, natural red lips, flawless white cheeks and pear-shaped cheeks as white as snow.
He gave Bai Ruoyue three things: a mysterious green-yellow energy of the Biluotongtian level, a real weapon inner armor, and a dragon ball of the Yinshen True Blood level.
In terms of value, it cannot be compared with the three things given to Lu Qingmo.
The three treasures of Tiansheng Resurrection Liquid, Huangquan Young Pill and Tongyou Flower, none of them can be compared with the treasure of Yinshen True Blood.
But also, because the Tongtian Flower was for Master Lu Qingmo, not for herself, Bai Ruoyue could use all three gifts herself, so from a certain perspective, it made up for the difference in value.
There is a huge difference between being able to use it yourself and not being able to use it yourself, not to mention that it is a treasure that can reach the sky.
So no one is treated unfairly or favored.
No matter how you look at it, it can be said that the water is level. Even if some things are exposed in the future and they fall into the Shura realm, there will be no problems because of the parting gift.
Zhou Qing couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.
Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, you are so damn smart! Of course, Zhou Qing gave such a heavy parting gift to Lu and Bai, not entirely because of the water.
The most important reason is that he sincerely hopes that the two of them can be safe and have a smooth journey.
As for balancing the two, it is just a trivial factor.
After all, this world is an ancient-like world with extraordinary powers. Marrying several wives is neither illegal nor moral, and it is a very normal thing.
That’s what everyone thinks.
There are definitely people who remain faithful to one person from beginning to end, and that's normal, so no one will say anything about it.
But fraternity is also normal.
Beauty’s kindness is so great that it would be bad to let anyone down.
Zhou Qing was really forced.
The reason why he had to be careful was more because Lu Qingmo and Bai Ruoyue had a special relationship. After all, she called her aunt.
I introduced my aunt to you, and you turned out to be so?! But the car was already on, the rice was already cooked, and everything was set.
Zhou Qing could only try his best to maintain stability.
While Zhou Qing was thinking, Bai Ruoyue also refined the dragon ball smoothly.
The first wave of dragon ball power surged out, spreading to her limbs and bones, cleansing her bones and marrow, and bringing about considerable changes.
In a sense, this can be considered a simplified version of Zhou Qing.
With this said, we know that Bai Ruoyue has a bright future.
Finally, Bai Ruoyue opened her eyes, felt the changes in herself, and was very surprised.
She looked at Zhou Qing, then threw herself directly into Zhou Qing's arms.
"Thank you, Junior Brother."
Zhou Qing patted Bai Ruoyue on the back and said in a gentle voice, "Big Sister, when will you cultivate to become an immortal? That will be the true way to thank me."
The fairy wife is fierce!
Bai Ruoyue assured: "Just wait, I will definitely become an immortal!"
"Then I'll be waiting."
At the backyard door, a few heads popped out and looked at the two people hugging each other with relieved smiles.
