Chapter 32: Persecution Delusion is a Disease and Must Be Treated
"I didn't expect to meet you."
Que Le smiled shyly, a faint pink blush rising on her pale face. She looked at the handsome man in immortal clothes, her eyes full of brightness and admiration, and her voice couldn't help but jump with joy: "Brother Tianwen, are you a disciple of the immortal sect now? I just saw you kill those vine monsters, you are really amazing!"
Que Tianwen said modestly: "I just entered the immortal sect not long ago."
"That's pretty impressive!" Que Le continued. "He was able to kill such a powerful monster right after entering the immortal sect. I'm sure that in the near future, Brother Tianwen will become a powerful immortal known throughout the world, far more powerful than the useless people in some guilds."
The masked men behind him unconsciously clenched their fists, but perhaps because the girl in the gorgeous dress in front of them was the financial sponsor, they did not say anything.
"guild?"
Que Tianwen carefully examined the men in black protecting Que Le and noticed that the handles of their swords were engraved with a pattern resembling an eagle with outstretched wings: "Bounty Guild."
Bai Xiaoxiao turned to Qing Li.
Qing Li explained to her, "Besides the orthodox sects that cultivate immortality, there are also some independent cultivators who practice on their own. These immortals disappear without a trace, but there are also some beginners who are trying to find the way to become independent immortals. The Bounty Guild is an exchange where beginners can accept tasks and earn corresponding rewards while improving their abilities. Of course, there are no requirements for identity in the bounty business; anyone can take on the task as long as they are brave enough."
The bounty leader looked at Qing Li. He knew from the cold and ethereal aura that this person was not to be provoked without even a second glance.
He clasped his fists and said respectfully, "May I ask who the fairy is..."
Qingli glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.
Bai Xiaoxiao perfectly acted as her 'little translator': "She is the most beautiful, noblest, most powerful, and most highly respected of the Wuliang Sect, the number one sect in the world of immortal cultivation. She is known to everyone, renowned, one of a kind in heaven and earth, and unrivaled in the world. She is also my most devoted master - Immortal Master Miaoqing!"
The bounty leader hurriedly saluted: "So it's Immortal Master Miaoqing, I've long heard of your great name."
Bai Xiaoxiao smiled proudly.
But Qingli shook his head helplessly.
It's nothing, the prefix is too long.
"It turned out to be Immortal Master Miaoqing."
Que Le had walked up to Qing Li at some point, looking at her with a hint of inquiry. Ever since the introduction of the bean sprouts next to her, she had noticed that Brother Tianwen had been staring intently at her. She had heard that Brother Tianwen had a childhood sweetheart with whom he had always been very close, and they were often inseparable. Could it be that...
A hint of understanding and disdain flashed across her eyes, but her face still maintained a gentle and beautiful smile: "This princess has long heard of the Immortal Venerable's name. Seeing you today is indeed extraordinary." Her gaze fell on the squirrel in Bai Xiaoxiao's arms, "Ah! What a cute little thing, can I hold it?"
As she spoke, she reached out her hand.
Bai Xiaoxiao stepped back to avoid her hand.
Que Le stiffened for a moment, his eyelashes drooping, his eyes slightly red, and he said with a hint of grievance, "Isn't it possible... I just think it's cute and want to hug it, Immortal Master Miao Qing, do you really have to be on guard against me?"
[Honey? Does this guy have any cat biscuits?]
Bai Xiaoxiao was stunned when she heard this.
Que Le walked over to Que Tianwen and tugged at his sleeve, "Brother Tianwen, Le'er doesn't know what he did wrong to make Immortal Miaoqing so disgusted. It's all Le'er's fault. Le'er is not good. Go and persuade Immortal Miaoqing to stop being angry."
"Are you sick?"
Bai Xiaoxiao blurted out unconsciously: "Really, sister, paranoia is a disease, it needs to be treated, it really needs to be treated."
The pretty girl rolled up her sleeves and acted coquettishly, which made Que Tianwen's heart soften. He looked at Qingli with a look of disapproval and a hint of complaint, but he was afraid of damaging his image in Qingli's heart, so he didn't dare to speak.
But he didn't expect Bai Xiaoxiao to speak, so he spoke too, "Xiaoxiao, how can we cultivators speak nonsense casually? If Princess Quele wants the squirrel in your arms, just let her hold it. If you value these material possessions so much, how can you overcome your inner demons and become an immortal in the future?"
"You have one too... cough!"
Bai Xiaoxiao forced the word "illness" back under her tongue. She didn't want to experience the heartache again, not to mention that what she said now was the truth.
Que Tianwen took Bai Xiaoxiao's pause as a retreat, "Xiaoxiao..." He wanted to persuade her with emotion and reason, but suddenly he felt a strong force that lifted him up and flew away.
Qing Li withdrew his hand indifferently: "Shut up."
She grabbed Bai Xiaoxiao's shoulders, waved her robe and disappeared.
"Brother Tianwen!"
Que Le exclaimed in surprise and hurried to Que Tianwen's side to help him up. "Are you okay, Brother Tianwen? How could Immortal Master Miaoqing do this... No matter what she's dissatisfied with, she couldn't have been so harsh towards you. What's more, what you said is not without reason. She's being too overbearing!"
"It's okay, Quele, I'm fine."
Que Tianwen gently comforted the tearful Que Le, and his eyes moved to the direction where Qing Li disappeared, but his expression flickered.
The few bounty hunters who had been silent behind them looked at each other, and they all confirmed one thing from their companions' eyes:
When you take on tasks in the future, be sure to choose the right sponsor!
…
Bai Xiaoxiao still felt a little dizzy when her body was in the air again.
But she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Rather than facing crazy husband and wife, she would rather challenge her fear of heights!
Now, she saw the sea.
The blue, boundless sea is calm, the gently rippling waves sparkle in the sunlight, and the wind blowing towards you is slightly cool.
Bai Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and felt that the turbid air in her chest dissipated a lot.
"Master, is this the Jiulin Sea Valley?" She looked around. "Where's the dragon? Is it under the sea?"
Qingli didn't say anything, but just pulled her to find a clean place to sit down.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't understand the deeper meaning of this, but she was obedient.
"Rustle—"
There was a sound of leaves rubbing against each other.
Bai Xiaoxiao immediately became alert, fearing that some wild beast might attack.
But she saw Que Tianwen, Que Le and others.
[Damn! Even worse than a beast.]
Que Tianwen was also surprised when he saw them.
"Miaoqing Immortal Venerable!"
Que Le, who was holding Que Tianwen's arm, exclaimed slightly, "Why are you here?"
Qingli didn't even look at her.
Bai Xiaoxiao didn't tolerate it either: "What does it have to do with you? Then why did you come here?"
"Xiaoxiao." Que Tianwen looked dissatisfied. "Princess Que Le was just asking a few questions. When did you become so arrogant?"
Que Le shook her head. "It's okay, Brother Tianwen. Perhaps Que Le didn't leave a good impression on Immortal Master Miao Qing and Friend Xiao Xiao." She walked lightly to their side. "It's nothing serious. Que Le heard that there's an ancient dragon at the bottom of the Jiulin Sea Valley. Its inner elixir is as bright as stars and is incredibly beautiful. Que Le wants to obtain this dragon pearl and give it to Mother as a birthday gift."
