"The Immortal Lord invites the three of you to go to the twentieth floor."
The old man showed a somewhat forced smile.
"Manager Song, is this about drawing Qi into this girl's body?"
Manager Song's face was expressionless, and his tone was cold and inhumane: "I don't know, you will know when you go to the 20th floor."
"But these two have just arrived at the 18th floor and don't know much about what's going on there..."
"Uncle Jiang, you've crossed the line."
Jiang Bo's body stiffened, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled constantly.
In the end, he said nothing more, only whispered, "Let's go."
Peng Qin didn't understand why, but she knew that Uncle Jiang actually didn't want them to go to the 20th floor.
Why? Isn't it said that the 20th floor is the place that everyone in Xianshan dreams of? But Xu Qiuqian didn't think about it. She didn't have too many doubts about going to the 20th floor, but was more happy.
The twentieth floor is only one step away from the summit.
Follow Manager Song to the 20th floor.
Compared with the previous nineteen floors, the twentieth floor is even more magnificent.
Except for the immortal king, the rest on the twentieth floor were all women. These women looked a little listless and had pale faces as they cleaned.
They didn't show much emotion when they saw Xu Qiuqian coming.
The expression on his face was exactly the same numb as Manager Song's.
Just then, several women came over carrying a stretcher. On the stretcher was a woman lying. She was thin and had no breath left.
The women also looked numb.
Seeing this, Peng Qin calmly tugged at Xu Qiuqian's sleeve and gave her a wink.
She thought that her aunt was also as thin as this.
Xu Qiuqian didn't understand, but she saw the dead woman and asked, "Why did she die?"
When Jiang Bo heard this, he thought to himself that this was not good.
Manager Song, who was leading the way in front, turned around and looked at Xu Qiuqian coldly.
If it were anyone else, they would have felt uncomfortable being stared at like that.
But Xu Qiuqian looked at Manager Song without any discomfort.
After a while, when Manager Song was about to turn around, Xu Qiuqian asked again.
"Why did she die?"
Jiang Bo and Peng Qin were too afraid to breathe. Jiang Bo knew the reason, but he couldn't say it. As for Peng Qin, even if she didn't know, she knew that it was not something that could be asked casually, let alone told to them casually.
This time, Manager Song finally spoke.
His tone was cold: "You want to know?"
"yes."
"If you make a mistake, you must be punished."
"What mistake did she make that she was punished with death?"
“I don’t know.”
If it weren't for the fact that her master attached great importance to the woman in front of her, she wouldn't even bother to be perfunctory.
It was obvious from her expression that she didn't want to explain any more.
Xu Qiuqian acted as if she didn't see it.
"Aren't you the manager of the 20th floor? How come you don't even know someone has died? You're not qualified to be a manager."
Manager Song's already cold expression became even colder now.
Jiang Bo and Peng Qin just felt difficulty breathing.
Xu Qiuqian, does she know what she is talking about? This is the manager of the 20th floor!
After a while, Manager Song retracted his dangerous gaze.
"This is not something you can know. Let's go."
She didn't say anything else.
Jiang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, and Peng Qin also leaned over and lowered her voice, "How dare you say such things!"
When she was getting along with Xu Qiuqian before, she felt that the other person was very smart and had a high affinity for spiritual energy. But after what happened just now, she began to doubt again. Could it be that Xu Qiuqian's intelligence before was all fake?
Did she know that what she had just said had offended the manager on the 20th floor?
If Manager Song holds a grudge and gives random orders at that time, will Xu Qiuqian still have a chance to survive?
Xu Qiuqian didn't feel much about this.
Or maybe she said that on purpose. From the beginning till now, Manager Song's face had been cold and expressionless, and she just wanted to see another expression on Manager Song's face.
As for the consequences of angering Manager Song, she didn't think they would be serious.
She knew in her heart that she had drawn Qi into her body and reached the third level of Qi Refining in a short period of time, and Manager Song showed up at the first opportunity to bring her to the twentieth level, which showed how valuable she was.
As long as she is valuable, Manager Song will not touch her easily.
The fact was just as she thought.
However, Xu Qiuqian seemed to be thinking about something.
This is not something she can know, what does it mean? Does it mean that she is not worthy of knowing it with her current status? Or is it something else? Xu Qiuqian thought about it and put this question aside for the time being.
At this moment, someone pulled her sleeve. Xu Qiuqian thought it was Peng Qin, but it turned out to be Jiang Bo. He looked hesitant, and when he saw Xu Qiuqian looking at him in confusion, he motioned for the other party to come closer.
Manager Song in front was a little distance away from them.
He didn't seem worried or concerned about what they said.
So Xu Qiuqian moved closer.
Jiang Bo lowered his voice and said, "If the Immortal King asks you if you want to stay on the 20th floor, you must refuse."
"Why?"
Isn’t it said that coming to the twentieth floor to serve the Immortal King is everyone’s dream?
Although the twentieth floor was indeed a bit strange, Jiang Bo's words could not make her change her mind.
Jiang Bo was embarrassed to say it, and blurted out anxiously: "Anyway, don't agree to it, or you will die!"
The voice was a little louder, causing Manager Song in the front to pause.
Jiang Bo reacted, his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out. He looked at Xu Qiuqian.
The latter said nothing.
Peng Qin, on the other hand, was particularly sensitive to the word death. She was close to the two of them and could vaguely hear something. She looked back and forth between the two of them, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Soon, they arrived at the Immortal Lord's residence.
Compared to the outside world, the immortal king's residence is more luxurious, but he does not have many servants to serve him.
Manager Song, who was standing outside the bedroom, looked at Xu Qiuqian and said, "You go in."
"Only me?"
"right."
Xu Qiuqian nodded, without any special emotion, but it made Jiang Bo and Peng Qin even more anxious.
But how could the two dare to make other requests? They could do nothing but worry.
Xu Qiuqian didn't even look at the two of them and walked straight into the hall.
The hall is very spacious.
Xu Qiuqian looked around. There were four pillars in the hall, on which were carved lifelike animals that looked so real that they seemed like they would come alive at any moment.
At this time, light footsteps were heard from inside.
A woman in heavy, ornate clothing approaches.
Xu Qiuqian stared at the woman's clothes in a daze.
This dress looked familiar to her.
But she clearly didn't remember anything like that, so why did she feel familiar with it? The woman's face looked a little better than the other women outside, but only slightly.
Her expression was equally numb.
"Come with me, the Immortal Lord is waiting for you inside."
