Upon hearing the sound, all the Beggars' Sect disciples around turned their heads.
Hong Qigong slowly turned his head to look in the direction from which the sound came.
When his gaze swept over the carriage and landed on Qu Feiyan and her two companions who were driving it, Hong Qigong's eyes narrowed slightly.
A moment later, in the sight of the Beggars' Sect disciples, Qu Feiyan and her two companions drove the carriage to a stop beside them.
Seeing the carriage parked near the Northern Beggars' Sect, the disciples of the Southern Beggars' Sect couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After Qu Feiyan and the other girls got off the car one after another, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao stepped forward and lifted the curtains of the carriage.
Chu Qinghe, inside the carriage, looked at Kumārajīva and said, "We've arrived, Master, please get out of the carriage!"
Hearing Chu Qinghe's words, Kumārajīva glanced at Chu Qinghe.
However, he was poisoned, and there was a Grandmaster-level expert next to Chu Qinghe.
Having become easy prey, Kumārajīva had no choice but to obey whatever Chu Qinghe said.
After taking a deep breath, Kumārajīva, with a helpless and aggrieved expression on his face, got up and bent down to walk out of the carriage.
However, the moment Kumārajīva lifted the carriage curtain and glimpsed the group of Beggars' Sect disciples outside, the expression on Kumārajīva's face suddenly changed.
The helplessness that had lingered on her face just a moment ago, as well as the timid look she had when facing Chu Qinghe and the others, vanished completely.
His eyes began to soften, and a peaceful smile appeared on his lips.
Combined with Kumārajīva's own demeanor and the gesture of his hands being clasped together, he immediately gives the impression of an enlightened high monk.
However, just as Kumārajīva, with his hands clasped together, entered the eyes of the Beggars' Sect disciples outside, appearing as an enlightened monk,...
When Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao, who were outside the carriage, saw that the first person to come out was not Chu Qinghe and his group but Kumārajīva, the two women simultaneously let go of each other's hands, allowing the newly lifted carriage curtain to completely block Kumārajīva from reaching the carriage door.
Kumārajīva: "........."
Looking at the carriage curtain in front of his face, Kumārajīva's smile froze.
After taking a deep breath, she managed to regain her smile.
Then, with a slight surge of internal energy, he slowly lifted the curtain of the carriage in front of him and walked out while keeping his hands clasped together.
Seeing Kumārajīva's behavior, Lianxing couldn't help but mutter, "This monk is quite concerned about his image."
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe smiled slightly and then said, "Let's go!"
Outside the carriage, as Kumārajīva stepped down, Lin Shiyin and Xiao Zhao went forward again to lift the curtain.
A moment later, they watched as Chu Qinghe and the other women, including Shui Mu Yin Ji, stepped down from the carriage.
The group of people in the apricot grove stared blankly as their gazes shifted between Chu Qinghe and the women around him, including Shuimu Yinji.
In the past, the appearance of someone like Chu Qinghe or Shui Mu Yin Ji would have been enough to draw attention.
What's more, so many of them appeared at the same time.
This made the Beggars' Sect disciples present feel overwhelmed when their eyes swept over Chu Qinghe and the Water Mother Yin Ji and the other women.
Before the Northern Beggars' Sect, after his gaze swept over Chu Qinghe, Qiao Feng couldn't help but glance at Kumārajīva beside him, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Behind Qiao Feng, a beggar elder with an ordinary face and a cunning look in his eyes, glanced at Chu Qinghe and his companions before suddenly speaking: "I am Quan Guanqing of the Northern Beggar Clan. Today is our Beggar Clan's grand assembly. May I ask who you gentlemen are...?"
However, Chu Qinghe did not respond to Quan Guanqing's words. He even waved his folding fan lightly and did not linger his gaze on Quan Guanqing.
She raised her eyes slightly, nodded to Hong Qigong, and then turned her gaze to Qiao Feng.
"I have never witnessed such a grand gathering of the Beggars' Sects from both the North and South. If today's Beggars' Sect assembly does not involve anything secretive, and if Chief Qiao and Chief Hong do not mind, would you allow a few of us to observe from the sidelines?"
However, before Quan Guanqing could speak, Hong Qigong suddenly said, "We're all just a bunch of beggars, why are we afraid of being seen? If you don't mind the smell on you, young master, what objection could an old beggar have?"
Upon hearing Hong Qigong's voice, Qiao Feng pondered for a moment before cupping his hands and saying, "Today is merely the Beggars' Sect's final selection of its leader, nothing secret. Since Young Master Zhao is willing to watch, Qiao Feng will naturally not stop him."
Chu Qinghe smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief Hong and Chief Qiao."
Seeing Chu Qinghe's arrogant attitude, Quan Guanqing, who was standing behind Qiao Feng, frowned.
However, since both Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng had already spoken, and judging from Qiao Feng's words, he clearly knew Chu Qinghe, Quan Guanqing couldn't make a scene.
After glancing at Chu Qinghe and the others, he looked away.
However, his expression still carried a hint of gloom.
After responding to Hong Qigong and Qiao Feng, Chu Qinghe gestured to the women and then began to stroll slowly around the apricot grove.
Beside the carriage, watching Chu Qinghe set off, Kumārajīva wanted to stand still and ignore it, but thinking of the poison in his body, he hesitated for a moment and then obediently followed behind Chu Qinghe and the others.
On the Beggars' Sect's side, having witnessed Chu Qinghe's actions, an elder behind Qiao Feng asked, "Sect Leader, do you know this person?"
Qiao Feng nodded slightly and said, "I met him in Xingli Town before. He said he was coming to this apricot grove to collect herbs."
One of the elders frowned and said, "Gathering herbs? That reason is a bit strange."
