Chapter 405: Chapter 162: The Fourth Child Returns as a Paperman (6k)
At the same time, over at the Jade Dining Hall, Pei Yan and Shi Zhen continuously offered toasts to Zhou Qing, expressing their gratitude.
Master Gao Xuan also praised him due to Du Kui’s renewed resolve, while Mo Xingjian, quietly eating by the side, was filled with joy and pride.
Only until late at night did the three master and disciples return to Little Spirit Peak.
Regarding the sudden appearance of No. 6 Blue Ball, Zhou Qing did not mention it, instead Mo Xingjian brought up the matter of Ke Shu, the son of the Mansion Master of Vast Mansion.
After leaving Taiqing Sect, the three went to Cangyan Daoist Palace to inquire.
After all, the people from Cangyan Daoist Palace had also gone to Ghost City that day, originally planning to assassinate Zhou Qing and his comrades, but were unexpectedly killed by Mo Xingjian disguised as Niu Guangmo.
Yet Ke Shu didn’t care, he got the news from the City Lord of Cyan Wood City, saying that people from Taiqing Sect and Cangyan Daoist Palace had appeared.
"Did you really not see the token?" Mo Xingjian asked.
The two immediately shook their heads, said: "During that time in Ghost City, evil spirits and Blood Tai Sui fought fiercely, eventually the evil spirit self-destructed and severely injured Blood Tai Sui. After that, you revealed your identity, and we have been with you ever since, where would we have seen it."
Mo Xingjian thought for a moment, indeed that seemed to be the case.
He did not know what that token was, even with their knowledge they couldn’t recognize it, but from the looks of Ke Shu and others, it seemed to be very important.
Zhou Qing was not too worried about this, after all, the items brought by the Seventh Prince Xuanyuan Yichen from the Fifth-level Cultivation Country, even fewer people in the remnants of the dynasty recognized them, not to mention items rumored to be from the Seventh-level Cultivation Country.
Moreover, there were only nine such tokens in total, even if someone got one, they probably wouldn’t know how to activate it.
Fortunately, No. 6 was not too ruthless, if she forcefully used Soul Search, everything would be over.
Unexpectedly to Zhou Qing, a few days later, Zhang Wanbao arrived.
"Zhou brother, Yan brother!" Upon seeing the two, Zhang Wanbao excitedly rushed over and immediately gave them a big hug.
After all, he did not see Zhou Qing during his last visit, and Zhang Wanbao had been regretful since then. After returning, he searched for heavenly treasures that could repair the Golden Core at his auction.
Unfortunately, he found nothing.
However, later he heard that Zhou Qing was already fine, and he was happier than anyone else.
Originally wanting to celebrate, but the Five Sects War began, Zhang Yifu, the president of Wanxiang Auction did not let him come over.
Afterwards, Golden Thunder Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect bought small teleportation arrays from them, personally escorted and installed by Fu Kui.
When leaving because of the relationship with these three children, he specially left a word for Cao Zhengyang, advising not to end the Five Sects War too quickly, and then hurriedly left.
"You seem to have gained some weight!" Zhou Qing was also very happy, and laughed as he touched Zhang Wanbao’s belly.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Zhang Wanbao proudly said: "This is called happiness weight."
"What, have you captured Xiao Cancan’s heart?" Yan Xiaohu became interested immediately.
Shaking his head, Zhang Wanbao said: "Not yet, but she has a good impression of me now. However, her close friend Li Shitao keeps giving her various ideas to test me, it’s so annoying."
"That woman is really meddlesome!" Yan Xiaohu swore immediately upon hearing this.
Zhou Qing smiled slightly but then noticed Fu Kui walking towards them with hands behind his back, his expression immediately changed, greeting: "Greetings Elder Fu!"
Yan Xiaohu also bowed.
Fu Kui nodded, then was a bit surprised: "You have reached mid-Nascent Soul stage already?"
Zhou Qing’s heart skipped a beat, indeed, in front of such a top figure, the operation of ’Void Realm Dharma Aspect’ was completely ineffective.
He had no choice but to say: "During the chaos, I stumbled upon some good fortune, and had a lucky breakthrough."
Seeing this, Fu Kui did not ask further.
Yan Xiaohu instinctively looked at Zhou Qing in disbelief.
"When did you achieve mid-stage? Why don’t I know? When you were mid-Golden Core stage, we went to Lingyun Mansion together to gather the ingredients for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, then your Golden Core was even crushed by someone. Now I’m only at early stage. Although I know you have Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, but this is too fast, isn’t it? I feel so unworthy as a senior brother. Have you been secretly cultivating behind my back?"
"You guys chat, I’ll take a walk!"
Fu Kui saw that the two were a bit in awe of him, understandingly left to find Mo Xingjian.
Seeing Yan Xiaohu staring at him, Zhou Qing felt a bit awkward.
Since breaking through to mid-Nascent Soul stage with Suanni Essence Blood, he had only told his master and hid it using ’Void Realm Dharma Aspect’.
"Well, Wanbao, is there any particular reason for your visit?" Zhou Qing quickly shifted the topic to Zhang Wanbao.
Not thinking much, Zhang Wanbao said: "Nothing much, just wanted to check on you two. I heard you both are now on the must-kill list of Cangyan Daoist Palace, so I wanted to invite you to stay as guests in Lingyun Mansion for a while."
Upon hearing Zhang Wanbao’s words, the two felt somewhat touched.
But they were disciples of Taiqing Sect, how could they flee at such a crucial time for their sect’s life and death?
Besides, getting on that list was not easy, at least for Yan Xiaohu, it was an honor.
They firmly refused, thanking the kind-hearted little fatty.
Feeling helpless, Zhang Wanbao could only wish them well.
"Since you bought the teleportation array, Cangyan Daoist Palace also bought three. Elder Fu personally installed them!" Zhang Wanbao revealed another piece of news.
