Chapter 89 Xiao Hui: The Insolent Guy

The courtyard where the Xu Family and Wanbao Pavilion cooperate on Alchemy is at the foot of Chaoxia Peak. Xu Qingzhou goes there periodically to inspect the work.

His main purpose is to constantly remind the Family's Alchemists not to leak the Pill Formula.

This is currently the most valuable thing the Xu Family possesses.

Once the Wanbao Pavilion obtains the Pill Formula, although they might not directly terminate the cooperation and make and sell pills themselves,

it's highly probable that they will secretly refine them privately and sell them for profit, as this way they wouldn't have to share a portion of the Spirit Stones earned with the Xu Family.

Just as Xu Qingzhou finished speaking with the Xu Family's Alchemists and was preparing to leave, he suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance drifting through the air.

He looked towards the entrance and quickly saw the newcomer; it was the Wanbao Pavilion's Head Manager Yu Shufei. She was wearing a purple robe, and her impressive figure was faintly discernible.

Yu Shufei swayed her waist and walked gracefully. Although she wasn't deliberately making any expressions or movements, she was still full of charm.

"What a coincidence, Clan Leader Xu is here too."

Xu Qingzhou replied, "Yes, I was just about to leave. I didn't expect Manager Yu to arrive now."

"I just came to take a look."

"Me too."

"Clan Leader Xu has been quite the center of attention recently; people everywhere are inquiring about you," Yu Shufei looked at him with a half-smile.

She constantly exuded an irresistible charm, as if born with a seductive aura.

Especially her eyes. Even though Xu Qingzhou faced a peerless beauty like Su Xinyan every day, he found it a bit difficult to resist her gaze at this moment.

Xu Qingzhou looked elsewhere and said casually, "Utterly boring."

Yu Shufei's beautiful eyes flickered. "This concubine is also very curious whether the matter between Clan Leader Xu and Immortal Su is true or false."

Her eyes seemed to be acting coyly, causing a ripple in one's heart.

"What do you think is true or false?" Xu Qingzhou retorted.

Yu Shufei answered without hesitation, "It's true. After all, in my opinion, the two of you are a perfect match of talented man and beautiful woman, absolutely a match made in heaven."

Realistically speaking, she felt it was false, as there was a huge disparity in their strength and background.

But a woman's intuition told her it was true.

Xu Qingzhou just smiled. "There are still matters at home waiting for me to handle. I'll take my leave first."

"Clan Leader Xu, take care," Yu Shufei didn't press further.

Just as Yu Shufei said, many people had been inquiring about Xu Qingzhou recently.

Some people even couldn't help but rush directly to the Xu Family's entrance, shouting to see Xu Qingzhou.

This person claimed to be Xiao Hanxing, a True Disciple of Purple Maple Valley. He was powerful, already at the late Purple Mansion Realm.

Purple Maple Valley was also a second-rate force, even slightly stronger than the Seven Stars Sect.

Xiao Hanxing had only shouted a couple of times when Su Xinyan appeared. Without speaking or acting, she merely released her pressure, directly forcing Xiao Hanxing to vomit blood and fly back several hundred zhang.

Previously, when she encountered Meng Ping'e outside the city, he had been rude to Xu Qingzhou, and Su Xinyan had no reservations.

Now, within Lingyue City, even Su Xinyan couldn't directly make a move.

But Su Xinyan's action scared Xiao Hanxing so much that he didn't dare to come again. He also hadn't expected Su Xinyan to already be in the Nascent Soul Realm. Fortunately, it was in the city; if it had been outside the city, he would have died.

At the same time, this incident caused another huge stir.

Originally, most people didn't believe this matter. Although Xu Qingzhou couldn't be considered completely useless, he was far inferior to Su Xinyan in all aspects.

Now that Su Xinyan had directly appeared at the Xu Family, they had no choice but to believe it.

"Heavens! The rumor is actually true! Su Xinyan is at the Xu Family!!!"

"This, this, this! It's too unbelievable!!"

"What right does he have? What quality does he possess that could make him worthy of Immortal Su?"

"Could it be that love really exists in this world?"

"Am I the only one who noticed that Immortal Su has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm?"

After this incident, no one dared to go to the Xu Family again.

After all, Su Xinyan of the Nascent Soul Realm was at the Xu Family. Although she couldn't make a move within the city, if she were to be angered, once they left the city, there would be no escaping disaster.

Soon, everyone's focus returned to the matter of pursuing the Qingshan Three Bandits. Who wouldn't be tempted by the inheritance of a powerful cultivator?

However, the Qingshan Three Bandits were extremely skilled at hiding. The Purple Mansion Realm experts from numerous forces had almost dug Huai Dong County three feet deep, yet they still couldn't find them.

They even searched through some nearby counties but still found nothing, making people wonder if they had already left the Great Qi Dynasty.

Of course, there were also lucky individuals who encountered them, but they were counter-encircled and killed by the bandits. It's just that no one knew about it.

…

On this day, Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan were eating in the courtyard, while Little Grey lay to the side, being fed.

Xu Luo and Shangguan Zhuo, who had gone out to search for spirit herbs, finally returned.

After knocking, they pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, immediately smelling an aroma unique to delicious food.

Xu Luo was startled.

No wonder Little Grey had gained a size after staying here for over a month! The food was this good!!

Thinking of Little Grey, he quickly searched for its figure in the courtyard.

"Am I seeing things? Why is everything blurry?"

"No! That's not two Little Greys, Little Grey has gotten fatter by two sizes!!"

Little Grey, currently lying on the ground, looked like a thick, large round cushion. When Xu Luo saw this, his vision instantly went black.

Previously, when Little Grey charged at enemies, it was like a dragon's impact. Now, when it charges at enemies, it's a flesh-bomb impact.

Xu Luo stepped forward and shook Little Grey. It was like a puddle of flowing meat.

"Little Grey, how did you eat yourself into this state!!"

One must know that Little Grey is a demonic beast, not a pet kept at home. To get this fat is truly difficult to comprehend.

Little Grey turned its head and glanced at him.

Who is this!

How presumptuous!

Coming over and immediately touching me! Are you very familiar with me?

Noticing Little Grey's unfamiliar gaze, Xu Luo's heart was filled with regret. He should have just made it suffer a little and kept it in the Spirit Beast bag all along.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "How was it? Was everything smooth?"

He spent his days eating, drinking, and having fun, feeling like not much time had passed. In reality, they had been out for over five months, longer than Xu Luo's estimate before they set off.

"All three required spirit herbs have been found," Shangguan Zhuo replied, with a hint of excitement that couldn't be concealed in his tone. After all, he had been waiting for this day for decades.

Xu Qingzhou nodded.

"That's good. I'll tell Mu Ge right away and have him come over."

Xu Qingzhou casually sent a sound transmission talisman. If the distance was too great, a sound transmission talisman couldn't be used, but the distance between Lingyue City and Lingyue Sect was just right, making the talisman convenient and fast.
