Chapter 75: Knowing a person by his scent

"Sister Ping, we have guests coming over tonight, I need to get ready."

Gao Xian looked embarrassed, "Sister Ping, how about we talk about this another day?"

Qingping slowly got up from Gao Xian's arms. She whispered, "Since you have something to do, you can't delay the important things. I'll come back another day."

Qingping's expression was somewhat gloomy, and there was a hint of tenderness and reluctance in her eyes. That affectionate look made Gao Xian feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gao Xian glanced at the Sea of ​​Knowledge Fengyue Treasure Mirror and saw that the Master's spiritual light had hardly moved, so he calmed down.

"Damn, this woman is such a good actor!"

Gao Xian cursed in his heart but smiled apologetically, "There have been many monsters rampant lately. It's so dark now, Sister Ping, you have to be careful."

He thought for a moment and said, "Why don't I take Sister Ping back?"

Qing Ping said with some amusement: "My cultivation is much higher than yours, so I don't need you to send me off."

She patted Gao Xian's hand gently and sighed softly: "Take good care of yourself and don't go out. I just can't bear to leave you alone..."

"Sister, you are so nice."

Gao Xian acted moved, but he felt that his emotions were not strong enough and his acting skills were far inferior to Qing Ping's, and he was obviously not committed enough.

He felt a little ashamed about this.

"Little fool,"

Qing Ping said softly with reluctance: "I'm leaving first."

When seeing Qingping off, Qingping and Gaoxian were both reluctant to leave. The main reason was that Gaoxian was so into the role that he was in the perfect state.

The two were holding hands and talking intimately when Zhu Qiniang arrived.

Zhu Qiniang came very quickly. Gao Xian was having fun with Qingping. By the time he noticed Qiniang coming, it was too late.

You can't just pull your hand out, because that would make you look guilty.

Qingping was far behind in this respect. It was not until Zhu Qiniang came beside her that she noticed there was an extra person.

It was dark, but her eyes were sharp and she recognized at a glance that this was Zhu Qiniang, the proprietress of Changsheng Hall.

Yesterday they found a child and put the Red Blood Seal on Zhu Qinnan.

This scarlet blood seal is made from the flesh and blood of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger cub, and activating it will attract the Iron Scale Demon Tiger. Out of hatred for the enemy who killed the cub, the Iron Scale Demon Tiger will definitely kill Zhu Qiniang.

The Iron Scale Demonic Tiger was too dangerous and could not be controlled at all. It could only be guided by the Red Blood Seal, so they all hid far away and had no idea of ​​the specific circumstances of last night.

In Qingping's opinion, Zhu Qinnan was doomed to die.

When she recognized the person as Zhu Qinnan, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Gao Xian was facing Qingping, and although most of his attention was on Qiniang, he clearly saw Qingping's subtle expression of shock.

He immediately felt something was wrong. Even if Qingping knew Zhu Qinnan, there was no reason for her to be so shocked.

He had always used the excuse of helping Changshengtang refine the elixir to evade Qingping. It was very reasonable for Zhu Qiniang to come to him. With Qingping's intelligence, how could she be so shocked?

Gao Xian calmly let go of Qing Ping's hand and said, "Sister Ping, the guests have arrived, so I won't see you off. Be careful on your way back."

Qingping also regained her composure, "I'm leaving now, we'll talk another day."

She nodded politely to Zhu Qinnan again, then turned around and left quickly.

Zhu Qinnan glanced coldly at Qingping's receding figure. She just couldn't stand this woman.

It wasn't because this woman was behaving intimately with Gao Xian, but because there was a disgusting worldly air about her.

She looked at Gao Xian and wanted to give him a reminder, but she didn't know what to say.

After the battle last night and the intimacy this morning, her relationship with Gao Xian became more complicated.

Gao Xian also felt a little guilty, but he reacted quickly. He pulled Zhu Qinnan into the yard and quickly closed the door.

Without waiting for Zhu Qiniang to speak, Gao Xian said, "There's something wrong with this woman!"

Zhu Qiniang looked a little strange and said, "You still know!"

"Of course I know that this woman's identity is problematic, but I just had some connection with her in the past, so I just kept pretending."

Gao Xian said hurriedly: "I mean, it might be her who did something bad and caused you to be chased by the Iron Scale Demon Tiger."

"Um?"

Zhu Qinnan was a little bit unconvinced. She didn't know the woman at all, so why would she want to harm her?

Besides, this woman is only at the fourth or fifth level of Qi training, how could she have the ability to harm her! "Things inside are a bit complicated, and I can't explain them clearly for the time being. I'll go check out the situation first. Qi Niang, you wait for me at home."

Gao Xian didn't have time to say more. He first activated the scent-smelling technique, then the wind-controlling technique on his boots, and finally the shadowless clothes.

The three spells were performed in order and completed in an instant, demonstrating Gao Xian's exquisite control over the spells.

Zhu Qinnan watched as waves flashed on Gao Xian's body, and in the blink of an eye, he completely disappeared.

She was only a few feet away from Gao Xian, but she didn't notice anything unusual, which made her even more amazed.

Just a few days ago, when Gao Xian was demonstrating the shadowless vest, she could still detect abnormalities at a close distance.

In just a few days, Gao Xian's shadowless clothes have obviously become much more powerful.

It was obvious that Gao Xian had an extraordinary talent for magic. So even though he was only at the third level of Qi training, he was able to overturn the Iron Scale Demon Tiger with magic.

Every time she saw Gao Xian performing magic, Zhu Qiniang couldn't help but marvel at it with envy. Gao Xian in this state was simply radiant and full of charm.

Zhu Qinnan was sighing when she saw the door opened. When Gao Xian came into contact with external objects, his shadowless clothes would ripple slightly like water waves, revealing a vague figure.

"Close the door and wait for me at home."

Gao Xian left after giving some instructions. It was cold and windy, and a person's scent would not last long, so he had to hurry.

Fortunately, the art of smelling has reached the grandmaster level, and the ability to capture smells is terrifying. He can even capture various scents other than smell, such as magic breath, soul breath, etc.

If you observe the world through the art of smell, you will find that all matter and life has its own smell.

Gao Xian filtered out tens of millions of scents, leaving only the scent of Qing Ping, which left a long, undulating line of light in the air, clearly indicating where she was going.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

After a while, Gao Xian caught up with Qingping. He kept a distance of two meters and followed behind Qingping.

It was already late at night and there were almost no pedestrians on the street.

Qingping was very careful and would give way to people whenever she met them.

Pegasus is very small, and Qingping reached the eastern outer area in a short while.

Qingping stopped in front of a dilapidated courtyard. She looked back and saw nothing wrong, so she knocked on the door gently.

After a while, the door opened and a wretched-looking man came out. He bowed and greeted her in a flattering manner, "Sister Ping is back."

"Where's the second brother?"

"The Second Master is drinking in his room."

While they were talking, Qingping came into the yard. Without anyone noticing, Gaoxian followed in.

Gao Xian discovered that the yard was very large. Although the house was shabby, it was very spacious, and the east and west wing rooms were also large.

Oil lamps were lit in the rooms, and there was a lot of noise, even a little noisy.

It should be a group of people drinking and shouting.

The main room was quiet, and it seemed like there were not many people there.

Gao Xian made a rough estimate and found that there were at least sixteen people here, including the man who opened the door and Qingping.

Qingping opened the door and entered the main room. Gao Xian hesitated and did not follow him in. It was not difficult to get in. With Qingping's cultivation level, it would be impossible for her to find his trace.

But how to get out after entering is a problem! In such a cold day, people who stay in the room may not go out all night.

Gao Xian moved closer to the window and pricked up his ears, waiting to hear any movement.

As the old saying goes: If you want to know someone’s inner secrets, listen to what they say behind their backs.

"Why are you back?"

The man inside had a rough voice, and was obviously a little unhappy, "Didn't I tell you that you have to sleep with that boy. No man can bear this!"

"Second Master, Zhu Qiniang is not dead." Qingping's voice was a little uneasy.

"How is that possible!"

There was also some shock in the man's voice.

Although Gao Xian, who was outside the window, could not see what was happening inside, he could outline the state of Qingping and the man in his mind through subtle sounds and smells.

"I just saw Zhu Qiniang. She went to look for Gao Xian."

Qing Ping said, "I was shocked too."

The man was silent for a moment and said, "There is absolutely no problem with the Red Blood Seal. Could it be that Zhu Qiniang hired someone to kill the Iron Scale Demon Tiger?"

He then muttered to himself, "Is there another great foundation-building cultivator in Pegasus?"

Qing Ping said: "No matter what, we have to be careful. If Lianyun Sect finds out about us, it will be dangerous."

"The two foundation-building monsters that we attracted have been killed. It will be difficult to attract more powerful monsters for the time being."

The burly man said, "Forget it. We'll go back to the mountains in a few days. Don't bother yourself. Wait for a chance to capture that kid. If he falls into our hands, he'll have to endure it even if we piss on his face. He won't have the chance to throw a tantrum!"

Qing Ping agreed, "This kid is getting more and more slippery, so why not just rob him? Then you can be the bad guy and I can be the good guy, one soft and one hard, and we can always make this kid do his job obediently..."

"Fuck, these two bastards are so bad!"

Gao Xian outside the window was filled with anger. He tightly gripped the hilt of the Qingshuang Sword at his waist, with murderous intent in his eyes.
