Upon hearing this...
Yinling choked: "Didn't you say you didn't ask for anything in return?"
Qu Jian'er shrugged, saying with particular self-righteousness, "But all I want now is a reward. I'm so good, can't you reward me by coming with me?"
Sound Spirit: "..." What's so great about you? How can anyone in this world be so clueless?!
Qu Jian'er skillfully took out some melon seeds: "Alright, it's my fault for being so sudden. Don't worry, I'll give you three minutes to think about it. Now, tell us the story here."
Yinling: "..." You're taking out sunflower seeds? Why don't you take out some sparkling water and popcorn instead?
Soon, Qu Jian'er slowly took out sparkling water and caramel-flavored popcorn from her spatial lock.
This successfully silenced the Sound Spirit.
The black snake felt ignored.
It was trying to break free of the musical notes by smashing its head against them.
Qu Jian'er said seriously, "Look at you, it's already angry that you didn't tell the story and it's crashing into the wall of musical notes. Quick, tell the whole story. I'm a leader in the civilized world, with high artistic and moral standards, I won't tell others."
Yinling: "......" Are you sure the black snake is talking about me? Can't you just say you want to hear it?
Qu Jian'er saw through Yin Ling's gaze: "Oh, I want to hear some gossip, go ahead and tell me."
But.
Next.
Qu Jian'er did not get what she wanted.
Ou Muqing's house was also targeted by the people of the Holy Sword, who came rushing towards Ou Muqing.
actually.
Ou Muqing went to find Qu Jian'er earlier.
Using "waking up in the middle of the night" as an excuse.
Firstly, he wanted to use Qu Jian'er to divert the Holy Sword's attention; secondly, he wanted to meet this extraordinary person, Qu Jian'er.
But little did he know that he would fall in love at first sight.
Because he solved so many problems for the Holy Sword, the evil surrounding him is impossible to wash away.
Today is the day he sacrifices his life for Ou Xiao every year, and it also happens to be the day that the wicked one "murders his master".
If it weren't for the perfect timing of the Sound Spirit's return.
He was not simply in a coma.
Even Ou Muqing hadn't expected this.
The Holy Sword will send someone else, only to have him complete the task of taking Ou Xiao's place on the sword year by year.
Yinling blocked the way for the crowd: "Envoy Zhao?"
She was secretly surprised.
Like the Empire, the Holy Sword is divided into distinct classes.
From top to bottom.
In order: High Priest → Four Chief Envoys...
Of the four envoys, Ou Muqing was one, and the others were Zhao, Gongsun, and Bulang.
The head envoy, Zhao, glanced at the air in mid-air.
A spell was cast.
The black snake lost control of its body.
And once it freezes in place...
The chilling aura emanating from it vanished instantly.
It seemed to have transformed into a statue of great aesthetic value, but soon, the "statue" shattered into pieces.
Envoy Zhao simply said, "I won't dwell on your desertion for now. Once I receive the order, I will bring him back according to the law."
The emblem of the golden holy sword reflects the coldness of humanity; she turns a blind eye to Ou Muqing's coma.
They completely ignored Qu Jian'er.
Because in her opinion.
Qu Jian'er, who is fully armed, must be a paparazzi like those popular online.
The actor who secretly filmed the movie star was caught by the Sound Spirit. He was just a passerby, and all that was needed was to erase his memory.
Yin Ling shielded Ou Muqing and pleaded, "I am guilty, I accept the punishment. But, could Envoy Zhao please wait a while? He was just injured by the materialized monstrous creature. If he is forced to take another life, he may die!"
Envoy Zhao sneered: "A mere sound spirit dares to obstruct official business? Do you want to be annihilated by the holy sword?"
As soon as he finished speaking...
The cloaked figure behind Envoy Zhao raised a golden holy sword. With just a command from her, they could deal with the Sound Spirit just as they had dealt with the evil black serpent.
Yinling felt a surge of fear.
The ruthlessness of the Holy Sword made her instinctively afraid to refuse, but her desire to repay Ou Muqing's kindness made her unable to stand by and watch.
Just as she was at her wit's end, the sound of cracking sunflower seeds rang out.
Everyone looked over at the sound.
Qu Jian'er had already reached for the popcorn and asked very politely, "Would you like some?"
The group of cloaked figures: "?" Where did these people come from?!
In order to earn money, Qu Jian'er got up early to make this trip. She never expected to meet the spirit of the music box, nor did she expect to meet the people in the Holy Sword again.
Judging from what these people say...
"Mu Qing" also belongs to the Holy Sword.
It's unheard of for a triple-threat film star to be involved with the Holy Sword!
Moreover, he's a pitiful person who has to take someone's life every year—how interesting!
This early riser was definitely worth it!
Qu Jian'er said seriously, "I am a 1-star Taoist priest invited by Mr. Mu. This is my Taoist priest certificate."
To gain a deeper understanding.
She immediately had an idea.
I played a role-playing game.
Yinling was completely bewildered. She subconsciously said, "Weren't you just now..."
She hadn't finished speaking.
His mouth was stuffed with popcorn by Qu Jian'er.
Qu Jian'er said sternly, "Shut up! I'm already in character, and I won't allow you to hold me back!"
She showed her Taoist certificate.
It was done just in case.
She had the Lingte Bureau issue all the Taoist certificates of all levels, and today she finally got to use them.
Envoy Zhao frowned.
In a world where ordinary Holy Sword wielders possess Holy Swords that are typically wielded by 2-star Taoist priests, Qu Jian'er's abilities are simply insufficient.
But the other party is also a member of the Xuanmen sect.
That would make things much easier.
Let's bring the Holy Sword along with it.
Use it if it's useful.
Useless cannon fodder.
And so it was.
Qu Jian'er was taken to the Holy Sword as she wished.
On the road.
