Chapter 319: Chatting Quite Well (Thanks to Big Shot Colonel Yunwu for the Alliance)

Shen Yi, besides truly wanting Aqing to take care of Outside Qingzhou, actually harbored some other thoughts.

According to his plan.

The Xu family needed a sufficiently safe place to dwell, and the Great Qian, just so happened to be too vast in territory to manage everything.

The two were capable of complementing each other.

Setting aside other things, Aqing's attainment in array formations indeed made Shen Yi very satisfied.

This also counted as an attempt.

Letting her understand the predicament faced by the Great Qian, to see if she could initially formulate a series of plans.

If feasible, it could be quickly implemented in the other provinces.

If the Great Qian could achieve stability and peace in the true sense, it would have enough incense and vow power to nourish its Golden Body.

"I have a few matters, so I won't stay." Shen Yi looked at the crowd.

The few most familiar with him subconsciously opened their mouths, yet did not speak to detain him.

Just like the scene before their eyes.

What caused the Regional Commander extreme headache was, for Shen Yi, merely something solvable with a casual palm strike.

The other party was now an Inspector of the Great Qian, no longer just a presence needed to guard Outside Qingzhou; the things he had to do were completely beyond the participation, or even understanding, of them.

"You must also pay attention to your safety."

Chen Qiankun let out a bitter smile, looking at this Demon-Suppressing General of Linjiang Commandery whom he had personally selected.

Besides this thin sentence, he found there was no other way to help the other party.

"Rest assured."

Shen Yi nodded slightly, then rode a red cloud, darting toward the horizon.

The few from the Xu family briefly instructed Aqing, then similarly rode flying boats to follow.

Something seemed to have happened to the Great Qian, and here there was only a top-tier fox demon, which Shen Yi had casually resolved; it should be considered relatively safe.

After their figures disappeared from sight.

Aqing dejectedly withdrew her gaze, then realized she was surrounded by a group of people.

Her small face flushed red, and she stepped back two paces uneasily: "You..."

The many Demon-Suppressing Generals awkwardly coughed twice.

Shen Yi apparently hadn't clarified this Miss's identity.

In the end, Lin Baiwei squeezed through the crowd, arrived before Aqing, and said softly: "We were Shen Yi's... colleagues."

Hearing "Brother Shen," Aqing immediately felt much more relaxed, clenched her fist, and said: "I am Brother Shen's little sidekick, currently striving to become his marriage partner."

"Marriage partner?"

Lin Baiwei froze for a moment, and even Chen Qiankun and that group of old fellows stood there stunned.

And that phrase "currently striving."

Truly made them unable to quite understand.

Could such a thing be achieved through effort?

"Ahem."

You Longtao stepped out, waved his hand to disperse the crowd: "What are you all crowding around for? Go back quickly."

He had figured it out; Brother Shen had once again met a group of extraordinary figures, likely some great power from the outside.

Such existences required extremely careful treatment.

Thinking of this, he was also somewhat helpless; Brother Shen's personality, not speaking clearly, left them unable to discern this Miss's character. If they offended the other party by mistake, no one could bear the responsibility.

Aunt Aqian looked at Lin Baiwei, who was so awkward she kept clenching her fists, then looked at Aqing, who wore a dazed and cute expression, and suddenly opened her mouth to laugh silently.

"Let's go, let's go."

She waved her hand and hopped away from the courtyard.

As expected of Shen Yi; as long as the other party appeared, any problem could be easily resolved.

"What about you?"

You Longtao looked at his junior sister.

"I... I want to chat with her."

Lin Baiwei finally unclenched her palm; compared to the matter of marriage, she actually wanted to know more about what Shen Yi had been doing during the days he was away.

It was somewhat similar to the situation she had dreamed of.

You Longtao hesitated for an instant, then said softly: "Then be careful with your words."

He still felt relatively assured about this junior sister; coincidentally, she appeared to be about the same age as this Miss. Having his junior sister contact the other party on behalf of Outside Qingzhou counted as a good choice.

After all, they should share Shen Yi as a common interest.

"I understand."

Lin Baiwei smiled, and led Aqing into a room.

She gently closed the door: "This is the place where he once lived."

Aqing looked at the dust-free furnishings, carefully touched the bed edge with her palm, and exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, so clean."

She rolled her eyes, pretending to be casual: "Did Sister clean it?"

Lin Baiwei awkwardly shifted her gaze to the side: "Actually, I was quite busy before. Later, with him, Outside Qingzhou suddenly had nothing to do, so I was a bit too idle."

Speaking of this, she suddenly became stuttering: "Is Shen Yi doing well outside?"

Speaking of this, Aqing suddenly became energetic, forgetting her earlier probing, and chattered incessantly about the things she had seen.

Things like the Profound Light Cave, the Zheng family, the Demon Emperor, the Thousand Demon Cave...

These terms were so unfamiliar to Lin Baiwei.

But the three characters "Brother Shen" frequently appeared within.

She sat on the chair, listening quietly, saying not a word, until she had impressed every single sentence into her mind.

Lin Baiwei needed these things to make the scenes conjured by her wandering thoughts feel a bit more real.

A-Qing spoke until his mouth was dry, wiped away the non-existent dust from his body, then sat by the bed and asked curiously, "Sister, what did Brother Shen do while he was in Outside Qingzhou?"

Hearing this.

Lin Baiwei was stunned for a long time before revealing a faint smile: "Him..."

In her soft description, the cramped room in Bo Yun County slowly and vividly flooded into A-Qing's mind.

Those events were far less thrilling than A-Qing had described, yet almost every detail felt so real.

A Constable, relying on the blade at his waist, walked step by step into Outside Qingzhou, then took a carriage to the Imperial City.

Until night fell.

Lin Baiwei pushed the door open and saw several senior and junior brothers gathered outside the courtyard.

You Longtao transmitted his voice: "How did the conversation go?"

"I think it went well..." Lin Baiwei looked over as well.

Hearing this, You Longtao sighed with relief: "What is her name?"

"Uh..."

Lin Baiwei shook her head blankly.

Fang Heng and Bai Ziming's mouths twitched twice... Is this what he calls "went well"?

The young Captain guarding outside the courtyard quietly glanced at the group.

Chen Ji adjusted the cross-dagger at his waist.

He felt these lords were making a mountain out of a molehill.

Given Lord Shen's habits, how could anyone who befriended him be the arrogant and eccentric type?

The one inside must be a gentle and kind Miss.

At the same time.

A streak of crimson demonic cloud led the way, with an ancient flying boat following closely behind.

They traveled through the night.

Below them lay the prosperous and vast Li Zhou.

At this moment, on that small hilltop, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.

About a dozen Yin Spirits drifted there.

Each was a Wu Xian of the Upper Realm.

Among them were even those carrying Golden Pearls.

And behind them.

A three-zhang tall Yaksha Dharma Image illuminated the night sky into a brilliant gold.
