Chapter 241: You Want an Old Ox to Eat Tender Grass

Though they had said this much, he couldn't well say anything else, only hoping the other side wouldn't act rashly.

Ying Xue smiled faintly, and after parting with Ying Feng, she went straight to the kitchen.

Soon, she personally carried the food and wine to Qin Yang's small courtyard.

Dong dong dong.

The courtyard gate was knocked.

"Please come in."

Qin Yang said.

Ying Xue entered with the food and wine, which surprised Qin Yang somewhat.

The Ying family is indeed generous; those delivering the food and wine are all great masters of the Returning Void stage.

Seeing Qin Yang staring at her, Ying Xue set down the food and wine, then slightly bowed and said, "Ying Family's Ying Xue greets Fellow Daoist Qin."

Yue Rou's heart stirred, and she immediately said, "You are Ying Xue, the Snow Fairy, the pearl of the Ying family."

"Exactly me, miss, have you heard my name?"

Ying Xue laughed lightly.

Yue Rou nodded firmly, somewhat excitedly saying, "Of course I've heard of you; my ancestral master once said you are one of those most likely to become a top-tier expert among women."

Ying Xue laughed lightly, saying, "I am merely one of them; are there others?"

Yue Rou felt embarrassed to say.

"You are also one of them, aren't you?"

Ying Xue laughed.

Yue Rou nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

She indeed is one of them; of course, this is merely what the Thousand Calamities Master said.

"Don't be embarrassed, you are a genius; even I have heard of you."

Ying Xue said.

Hearing Ying Xue's words, Yue Rou smiled.

"This young lady, I have never seen her in the cultivation world before."

At this moment, Ying Xue's gaze fell on Ji Dou Dou.

Ji Dou Dou gave a light smile and said, "I have just reached the Golden Core stage; I have never appeared in the cultivation world before, so it's not strange you don't know me—I am Ji Dou Dou."

"Are you from the Ji family of Mount Qi?"

Ying Xue's eyes flashed with sharp light.

Ji Dou Dou nodded.

She is of the Ji family, with nothing to hide admitting.

Ying Xue seemed thoughtful.

"I recall the matriarch of the Ji family is a daughter of the Sun family..."

Speaking to this point, Ying Xue fell silent.

Ji Dou Dou's expression remained unchanged, ignoring her remark.

"Fellow Daoist, may we speak privately for a moment?"

Ying Xue's gaze fell on Qin Yang.

Qin Yang, however, said, "There's nothing that cannot be said here; they are the ones I most Xiāngxìn."

Hearing Qin Yang's words, Yue Rou was moved.

Ji Dou Dou remained calm; she is Qin Yang's woman, the two are one body, trust being the most basic thing.

Ying Xue glanced at the two, only able to helplessly say, "Fellow Daoist, what do you think of the Ying family?"

"Deep foundation, great strength, and unfathomable, leaving one unsure what you seek."

Qin Yang said in a low voice.

Ying Xue laughed.

The last sentence was spoken quite bluntly.

Xiǎng dào zhèlǐ, Ying Xue said: "Tomorrow is just an ordinary cultivators' conference, with only some stakes; you also know, the cultivators' conference is often held, called a conference but more like an opportunity for cultivators to spar, and also lets those with grudges settle them on the arena."

"Is the Ying family also for this purpose?"

Qin Yang asked.

"There is also another purpose; as Fellow Daoist is a disciple of Baiyun, you may perhaps see it, so I have a request."

Ying Xue said.

"Please speak."

Qin Yang nodded.

Ying Xue deeply Xī le yī kǒu qì, then said: "Fellow Daoist, if you notice any abnormality tomorrow, please do not publicize it; as long as you are willing to agree to our Ying family, thereafter the Ying family will be your most loyal ally."

"Will no one be harmed?"

"Just a normal procedure; we won't actively harm people; even if other sects hold such a cultivators' conference, there will likewise be some casualties, with no difference."

Ying Xue assured.

"I agree."

Qin Yang said.

Ying Xue was stunned; she hadn't expected Qin Yang to agree so readily.

Wèishénme?

Ying Xue couldn't help but ask.

"You aren't harming anyone, so why should I stop you? As for what you intend to do, that's none of my business; this time I'm here to claim a reward."

Qin Yang said.

"the Imperial Seal."

Ying Xue was somewhat surprised.

That thing, though a bit mysterious, has little to do with cultivation.

It contains a decent share of Long Guo's national destiny, but a cultivator seeks to transcend heaven and earth; using that destiny would bind them to Long Guo's fate to some extent.

As long as the national destiny is flourishing it's fine, but any fluctuation can greatly affect cultivation, even causing a backlash that ruins one's progress.

A cultivator of Qin Yang's caliber has no need to touch that thing at all.

"The President wants the Imperial Seal, and asked me to retrieve it."

Qin Yang said calmly.

Ying Xue shivered all over.

The President of Long Guo, the supreme among Fánrén.

Though a Fánrén, cultivators still dare not be negligent.

He represents the will of the entire Long Guo.

With the power of the whole nation, do you really think this is a joke?

Especially now that modern firearms are highly advanced, when pressed, what can cultivators do? They too fear a lifespan equal to heaven and earth.

"Had we known it was the President who wanted it, we wouldn't have used the Imperial Seal as a token; we would have sent it directly. The current court is fine; it's a blessing for the Long Guo populace."

Ying Xue said.

Although some on the internet criticize the court.

Yet, comparing with abroad, one sees how happy those living domestically are.

Ying Xue and her peers have lived long lives; cultivators exist for such extended periods that they've experienced many eras and seen much.

Therefore, they have a say.

"No problem; since I promised the President to deliver the item, I certainly won't let anyone else obtain it."

Qin Yang said calmly.

Ying Xue smiled, sensing the domineering aura in Qin Yang's words; she couldn't help feeling a bit dazzled and entranced.

A man like this, truly like a genuine dragon, is a real man.

"Since that's the case, I won't disturb you any further. From now on our two families are allies; a promise from the Ying family is worth a thousand pieces of gold."

After speaking, Ying Xue turned and left.

Yue Rou said worriedly, "There won't be any major problems tomorrow, right?"

"No, the people of the Ying family are clever and measured; they won't act recklessly."

Qin Yang said.

"I always feel they are a bit odd, as if scheming something."

Ji Dou Dou also said.

"It can't be that they're plotting to resurrect the First Emperor, can it?"

Qin Yang said offhand.

The two smiled; they knew it was a joke.

After leaving the small courtyard, Ying Xue found the family head Ying Feng.

She recounted what had just happened.

Ying Feng immediately knew that Ying Xue would not settle down.

Yet Ying Feng wasn't angry; hearing Ying Xue's account, he actually let out a sigh of relief.

"With that, I'm relieved. Since a disciple of Baiyun has promised, they certainly won't renege; even if tomorrow they discover something, they won't expose us. It's good you went to find him."

Ying Feng smiled.

"Dealing with such an eccentric, one should be straightforward; that actually yields better results."

Ying Xue voiced her view.

Ying Feng nodded, smiling, "You did well."

"Give me a reward then," Ying Xue said with a smile.

"Say what you want, as long as brother can accomplish it."

"Ask Qin Yang for a hand; I've taken a liking to him."

Ying Feng almost choked on his own saliva.

"You want an old ox to eat tender grass?"

He widened his eyes.
