Chapter 408: Sigh, why bother

The gate of Qiuyue Villa was now surrounded by the heads of various sects or families in the West, carrying thick gifts, making it impassable.

Even though most of them were considered to have faces in the West, at this moment, they were still smiling and respectful to the servants guarding the gate of Qiuyue Villa.

"Little brother, please report to Villa Master Qiu, just say True Person Changhe of the Shangqing Sect is asking to see him."

"Little brother, please report to Mistress Yu, just say Madam Ying wants to enter the mansion for a chat..."

Even though the Qiu family could at most be considered a third-rate force before, the ones at the gate were so-called big forces. Qiuyue Villa didn't have many guests before, but now that they had a relationship with Li Chen, they were already an existence they could only look up to.

The reason they came here was naturally to build a relationship with Qiuyue Villa. It wasn't because they didn't want to meet Li Chen, but because they knew they didn't have the qualifications, so they could only settle for the next best thing.

Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang walked side by side, immediately causing a sigh in the crowd.

After all, beauties like them who were peerless would be the focus wherever they went.

Many family heads and sect masters would have given way to the two beauties in the past.

Now, they were giving way to a hook; they came here to build a relationship with the Emperor, so how could they give up such a great opportunity because of two women?

Let alone Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang, even if the King of Heaven came, he would have to queue!

Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang saw that the road was blocked, so they didn't continue to queue here, but turned and walked out.

Xi Yushuang walked slowly behind Hong Qingshu, her eyebrows slightly raised: "The Emperor's status is so noble, will he see us?"

"Do you still remember Yu Jing from back then? Later she married Qiu Zuo of the Qiu family, who is the current head of the Qiu family. If she helps, there should be hope to see him..." Hong Qingshu's willow-leaf eyebrows moved slightly.

Xi Yushuang's eyes immediately had a touch of excitement upon hearing this: "So it's Yu Jing's house, then what are we waiting for!"

Yu Jing was the youngest and weakest back then, and the two of them had taken care of Yu Jing, so their relationship was quite good.

Now, this was not only a request from the two of them, but the matter was about Jun Wuhue. Reasonably and emotionally, Yu Jing shouldn't refuse.

The two soon arrived at the back door. After knocking on the door, a servant of the Qiu family soon opened it. Seeing the two, he was stunned for a moment, then said respectfully: "If the two fairies want to find our master, please move to the front door and let someone report it."

This was already the umpteenth person who wanted to take the back door; the servant was already accustomed to it.

Hong Qingshu smiled and said: "Your mistress and we are sworn sisters. Go report it. I guarantee she won't blame you for disturbing her; on the contrary, she will definitely reward you."

"Two fairies, please wait a moment, I will go report it." The servant saw that she spoke with such certainty, hesitated for a moment, and then bowed and left quickly.

Before long, Yu Jing, who had come personally, pulled them into the reception hall.

Yu Jing ordered the servants to serve tea, then looked at the two women who had already taken their seats, full of smiles: "Two sisters, it's been many years, and you've become even more beautiful. It really makes me envious."

"Is sister making fun of us two sisters? Sister is now full of charm and nobility, much better-looking than us yellow-faced women who run around all day."

"Yes, sister's hands are so tender they can squeeze out water, unlike me and Yushuang, who run around for the sect and family all day, looking like yellow-faced women."

The women chatted and complimented each other, and the relationship that had grown distant due to not seeing each other for many years gradually became close again.

The women chatted about family affairs for a while, and Xi Yushuang turned the topic to the purpose of coming here: "Sister also knows that I am a straightforward person. Coming here this time is actually to ask sister for a favor."

"What is it? You need the two sisters to visit personally. With the relationship between me and the two sisters, you only need to entrust someone to report it. How could I refuse?" The few had been followers of Jun Wuhue back then. Now that Jun Wuhue was in prison, how could Yu Jing not understand their intentions?

Hong Qingshu saw that the atmosphere had been built up to this point, so she immediately sighed and said: "Sister should have heard about the two powerhouses in the Qiulin Mountain Range being locked up by the Emperor. To tell you the truth, one of them is the God-child Jun. Sister, we want you to arrange for us to meet the Emperor!"

"What?" Yu Jing pretended to be shocked and stood up abruptly, then shook her head and sat back down, sighing.

She was at the scene at the time, so how could she not know about this? It was just that they were in different places at the time and hadn't met.

But at this time, expressing that she knew would make the two good sisters feel: "You knew, so why didn't you help?"

"Could it be that sister doesn't know about this?" Hong Qingshu raised her eyebrows slightly.

Yu Jing took a deep breath again and said: "I am a woman, I have long since stopped paying attention to these things. The two sisters should want to ask the Emperor to forgive the God-child Jun, right?"

Hong Qingshu and the two women nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.

Yu Jing sighed and said: "Sister naturally wants to help, but whether the Emperor is willing to see the two sisters is not something I can decide."

In Yu Jing's view, Li Chen was not someone you could see just because you wanted to. There were so many people at the door; who didn't want to see him?

Hong Qingshu smiled: "If sister can help report it, it would already be a great help to the God-child Jun. The God-child Jun will definitely be grateful to sister!"

The reason she mentioned Jun Wuhue was naturally because of Yu Jing's shocked expression, which made Hong Qingshu feel that Yu Jing was still very concerned about Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian.

Yu Jing pretended to hesitate for a moment, and finally gritted her silver teeth: "Okay! It's just that I don't know how the two sisters plan to persuade the Emperor? Have you prepared heavenly treasures that can move the Emperor? Don't let me bet the future of the entire Qiu family and end up with a bamboo basket for water!"

Yu Jing's words made the two women look at each other, and they immediately understood that they had taken things for granted before.

Although they had some reputation in the West, when facing a Sage Realm powerhouse, they weren't even worth a fart, let alone Li Chen, the Emperor who managed the entire May Tian Ce Empire.

All the resources in their hands combined couldn't compare to a fraction of the national treasury. What could they have to move Li Chen?

"Two sisters, have you not prepared anything?" Yu Jing looked strange.

"Does sister know what the Emperor likes?" Xi Yushuang frowned slightly, which was a disguised admission of Yu Jing's words.

Yu Jing had been waiting for this sentence!

These two were peerless beauties. If she could offer them to the Emperor, wouldn't it be another great achievement?

Maybe the Emperor would be happy and casually reward her with another spiritual treasure!

The so-called "doing the play to the full," Yu Jing, who had served Li Chen, knew better than anyone that if you wanted to satisfy this Emperor, being a dead fish wouldn't work; you had to let the two sisters serve willingly.

Yu Jing pretended to think for a long time, and finally leaned close to the two women and lowered her voice: "I have heard some folk rumors that the Emperor's several consorts all come from the folk, and seem to have had good relationships with some folk women. After all, the Emperor has three thousand beauties in the harem, so maybe he likes this."

"Is this true?"

"It's just a folk rumor, sister dare not guarantee success!"

Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu were both smart people and could naturally understand what Yu Jing said, which seemed to be the only path that might save Shizi Shizi Jun Zhan Tian.

The two women had long since regarded themselves as Jun Wuhue's women. How could they accept offering themselves to someone else?

Moreover, for ordinary people, being able to serve the current Emperor was already a great honor. How could they have the right to make demands to Li Chen?

The two women didn't dwell on this topic with Yu Jing, diverted the topic absent-mindedly, chatted with Yu Jing for a while, and then refused Yu Jing's offer to stay, leaving side by side.

Yu Jing looked in the direction they left, shook her head helplessly and said: "Why bother! The God-child Jun doesn't have you in his heart at all, and you actually know it."

These words seemed to be spitting on the infatuation of Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu, and seemed to be saying goodbye to herself from many years ago.
