1702 Warehouse, Looking for Kyushu Land

Lu Qing's destructive power was indeed strong. The seed of doubt that Feng Qingchen had planted soon sprouted under Lu Qing's careful watering.

A few days ago, Hong Xiu had to recuperate and was not serving Ling Tian. When Hong Xiu came out after recovering from her injury, Ling Tian obviously distanced himself from Hong Xiu and was reluctant to let her get close to him. He only let Lu Qing serve him closely.

At first, Hong Xiu didn't think much of it. She just thought that Ling Tian was considerate of her injury and was secretly happy for a long time. But when they arrived at Tianqiong Castle, Hong Xiu realized that something was wrong.

"Young Master." Hong Xiu exclaimed. She was not pretending, she was really scared.

The young master actually didn't let her enter the yard to serve him. How could this happen? What did she do wrong?

Ling Tian ignored him and walked forward. Lu Qing reminded him quietly, "Sir, don't alert the enemy."

Ling Tian paused, turned around and said, "Hong Xiu, the wound on your hand has not healed completely yet. It was not convenient for you to be outside before. Now that you are back, you should take good care of it. I will ask Doctor Xue to check you later, but make sure there are no sequelae. In addition, I have to entertain the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen during this period. These two are my distinguished guests of Tianqiong Castle. If anything happens, I will make sure they are happy, so that others will not say that Tianqiong Castle is rude."

"So you care about me, sir. I thought you hated me." Hong Xiu immediately put aside her worries and smiled sweetly, "Don't worry, sir. I will stay at home these few days and won't run into Miss Feng. Even if I do, and Miss Feng makes things difficult for me, I won't argue with her and won't make things difficult for you."

Lu Qing had advised her before, telling her not to fight with Feng Qingchen, so as not to make things difficult for the Young Master. She had also laughed at Lu Qing for being timid, but now that she was on the territory of Tianqiong Castle, who was she afraid of? Only after hearing what the Young Master said did she realize that Lu Qing was really doing it for her own good.

The annoying Feng Qingchen was all her fault. The young master had to hide her to protect her.

Hongxiu muttered a few words, and smiled gratefully at Luqing before leaving. Luqing lowered her eyes and pretended not to see it. As sisters, she didn't want to hurt Hongxiu, but Hongxiu's temper was indeed wrong. Even if it wasn't for her, Hongxiu wouldn't have lived long.

Ling Tian only has Lu Qing by his side. Lu Qing has the final say on all matters, big or small, and he also has to look to Lu Qing for decisions. Lu Qing is extremely busy for a while.

You have to know that Hong Xiu is a domineering person. She does all the things related to Ling Tian and refuses to let Lv Qing have any say. This is the first time Lv Qing has taken over, and even though she is capable, she can't help but be in a mess.

Ling Tian saw that Lu Qing had dark circles under her eyes due to exhaustion these days, and said distressedly, "It's only been a few days, how come she is so tired?" If Lu Qing collapsed from exhaustion, he really wouldn't be able to find anyone to replace her in a short while. Ling Tian didn't want to use Hong Xiu, nor did he dare to use her.

"Thank you for your concern, young master. I am clumsy and confused when I first took over, but I am fine now." Ling Tian usually doesn't care about Lv Qing and Hong Xiu's affairs, but Lv Qing is reporting them subtly.

"Just took over?" Ling Tian frowned: "Before, all these were done by Hong Xiu?"

"Hong.xiu has been taking care of your affairs since she was young, and has always done everything for you personally. I came late, and I am not very meticulous in my work, so I can't learn it all at once." Lu Qing came to Ling Tian only three days later than Hong.xiu, but Hong.xiu always called herself a senior and occasionally ordered Lu Qing to do small things. Ling Tian knew some of these things before, but he thought Hong.xiu was innocent and didn't think much about it. Now that Lu Qing mentioned it, Ling Tian couldn't help but think more about it.

Hong Xiu...had she started to have second thoughts so early on? Or was Hong Xiu originally sent by someone else to lurk around him with her innocent appearance to lower his guard.

Seeing that Ling Tian had made up his mind, Lu Qing changed the subject without leaving any trace: "Sir, the Ninth Prince and Miss Feng have been staying at Qiyun Villa for three days. Should we send an invitation to invite them to come over?"

After Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince arrived at the territory of Tianqiong Fort, they did not live in Tianqiong Fort, but lived in a villa built by Dongling outside Tianqiong Fort.

The two of them arrived at Tianqiong Castle with Ling Tian three days ago. Ling's father heard the news and knew that Ling Tian had been wronged in Dongling. He was angry that the Ninth Uncle and Dongling did not take Tianqiong Castle seriously, so he stayed away from seeing the Ninth Uncle due to illness.

The Ninth Prince was not angry. He turned around and said goodbye and left, which made Ling Tian so angry that he almost jumped up and down: We have come to the territory of his Tianqiong Castle, but he is still so arrogant. What right does the Ninth Prince have?

Ling Tian originally thought that the Ninth Prince would come back another day or in two days at most, but now three days have passed, and the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen have no intention of coming again.

Ling Tian and Lord Lingbao discussed it and felt that the matter could not remain deadlocked. If the Ninth Prince got angry and refused to participate in the martial arts conference, it would definitely be a slap in the face of Tianqiong in public.

For the sake of Tianqiong Castle's reputation, Castle Lord Ling decided that if the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen still didn't come to his house, he would send an invitation asking them to come to his house to apologize for refusing to see him last time.

You know, many people outside are watching this matter closely. The Ninth Prince was invited by Tianqiong Fort to help deal with the evil people in the martial arts world. If he arrives at the territory of Tianqiong Fort, he cannot enter Tianqiong Fort, or does not go through the gate of Tianqiong Fort. Outsiders will definitely know that the Ninth Prince and Tianqiong Fort are not in harmony, and it will be bad if they take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Of course, for the sake of face, Lord Lingbao would not go to Qiyun Villa to meet Uncle Nine. Uncle Nine was of high status in Dongling, so what? This was the Jianghu, the territory of Tianqiongbao. Lord Lingbao was much higher than Uncle Nine in terms of reputation and age, so there was no way he would lower himself to meet a junior.

When Ling Tian heard Lu Qing's suggestion, he thought for a moment and then asked Lu Qing to prepare a gift as an apology for not meeting him last time due to illness.

Green Eyes' eyes lit up with joy, but she quickly lowered her head to hide the happiness in her eyes: she had gotten the warehouse key for such a long time, but she had never found a reason to go in. This time, she finally had a legitimate reason.

She will definitely find that little map.

Things were progressing smoothly for Lu Qing, but not so smoothly for Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince. Arriving at the territory of Tianqiong Castle, they were naturally not as free to act as before. After being rejected by the Lord of Tianqiong Castle, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince had been living in Qiyun Villa without making any moves.

"It's been three days, and the Lord of Sky Dome Castle hasn't shown any sign of support. Does he think we will come to him again?" Feng Qingchen was lying on the chaise longue, holding a half-read book in her hand.

The Ninth Prince was writing at the desk. He put down his pen when he heard Feng Qingchen's words: "Fort Lord Ling doesn't know about Ling Tian and Lan Jingyang." If he knew, Fort Lord Ling would not dare to not see him, let alone leave them alone like this.

"Ling Tian is so brave." Feng Qingchen half-closed his eyes and felt drowsy. In order to keep himself from falling asleep, Feng Qingchen had to get up and take a few steps.

"You can only be rich if you are in danger. How can you be so timid as to collude with Lan Jingyang?" The Ninth Prince leaned on the desk, folded his arms, and stared at Feng Qingchen without blinking. Feng Qingchen turned around and met the Ninth Prince's burning gaze. He paused and stood there in a daze. The two of them stared at each other from a distance of dozens of steps...

Feng Qingchen couldn't help but step forward, but just as the two of them were getting closer, someone at the door came to report...
