"Well, did you start to fight over my favor so quickly?" Xu Que looked at Ryu Jingning with a smile. He wore a mocking look on his face.
"I'm serious," Ryu Jingning rolled her eyes angrily at Xu Que and shook her head.
Xu Que extended his hand and rubbed Ryu Jingning's head. He said with a faint smile, "You can set your mind at ease, I know what I'm doing."
As a matter of fact, Xu Que had discovered from their previous conversation that Bai Cailing only cared about the Jade Lake Holy Land, and she would do everything for the Jade Lake's benefit.
According to reason, the Jade Lake and the Divine Farmer Clan had a good relationship, and Bai Cailing, as a saint, shouldn't betray them.
However, even if she betrayed them, it wouldn't matter. After all, the two factions had a good relationship, and they had been using each other. This was why Bai Cailing didn't tell Xu Que about the other party's Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines' nursery.
Bai Cailing had already discovered this place in the ancient battlefield's ruins, but she didn't tell Xu Que about it. Maybe she had already planned to look for an opportunity to look for it.
It was only after Xu Que returned that she told him about this place, and she asked Xu Que to revive the peach trees.
According to ordinary people's way of thinking, they would first make a request and then agree to an exchange. But Bai Cailing had done the opposite.
It was obvious that she understood Xu Que's character, and she was aware that Elder Xu didn't like being threatened or extorted. She even wanted to maintain a good relationship with him, and this was why she told him about this place before making a request. She was aware that Elder Xu wouldn't refuse her request.
If these two matters were considered separately, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if they were combined, it would be easy to discern that the Saint was shrewd. Even though she had done this for the Jade Lake Holy Land's sake, and this wasn't wrong, Xu Que still felt uncomfortable.
After all, from the perspective of others, such as Ryu Jingning, Xu Que was the one being used.
However, Xu Que only saw through it and did not say it out loud. As someone who had lived two lives, how could he not understand the ways of the world? It was just that … there was really no need to expose it!
As for falling in love with Bai Cailing, there was no such thing!
Having been in the World of Cultivators for so long, he had been a greenhorn at the beginning, so he was easily moved. Of course, at that time, most of the people around him were also very pure!
But now, how could anyone who could cultivate to such a level be simple?
Xu Que was no longer the Xu Que of the past. How could he be tempted by a random pretty girl?
"Little Queque, do you really understand what I'm talking about?" Ryu Jingning looked at Xu Que suspiciously.
After all, in her opinion, this fellow was very fickle!
"Hah-hah, I should be the one asking you this question! Don't worry. Don't tell me you think I'm still the same as before? "Xu Que smiled calmly again.
There was one thing he didn't say, which was that he was satisfied with Ryu Jingning, Jiang Hongyan, and the others. He didn't need anyone else.
However, it was quite shameful to say this. After all, he was a modern man who had experienced monogamy. Even though polygamy was quite common in the World of Cultivators, he still felt embarrassed. So, he didn't say it out loud. However, he believed that Ryu Jingning would understand it more or less!
"Well, it seems you've grown up!" Ryu Jingning said to Xu Que with a faint smile after being stunned for a while.
"I've always been big, OK? I'll let you try on my size sometime! " Xu Que chuckled and continued to walk toward the peach garden. Liu Jingning was left standing there, glaring at him with a flushed face.
Mo Junchen and Duan Jiude understood Xu Que's words. They pretended not to hear anything and looked around.
Buttface was confused. He caught up with Xu Que and asked eagerly, "Brother Achilles, Brother Achilles, what size do you want to try? I also want to try on your size! "
"Get lost!"
…
Soon, one day passed.
Xu Que diluted a bottle of Living Holy Water and sprinkled it on each peach tree. It didn't take long, but he stayed in the peach garden for one more day to convince the people of the Jade Lake that this task was very difficult.
However, the next day, all the peach trees in the peach garden woke up and released magnificent Celestial Core Power and Spiritual Qi, which filled the whole Jade Lake directly.
Such a great disturbance startled all the maidens of the Jade Lake.
Early in the morning, the peach garden was surrounded by people. Xu Que pretended to have just woken up and walked out with the help of his walking stick and sleepy eyes.
Bai Cailing and a dozen deacons and elders rushed over. When they saw the peach garden, they were quite excited.
"Elder Xu, the Jade Lake will never forget your great kindness." Bai Cailing cupped her hands and thanked Xu Que.
"It's nothing. I just slept with them for a night. Fine, since the peach garden has been revived, I should go to take care of business. I'm pressed for time, and I can't delay it," Xu Que said calmly as he waved his hand.
"Okay, Elder Xu, I'll go with you," Bai Cailing said.
"Eh … you don't need to do that. Moreover, the peach garden has just been revived. You are the Saint Maiden, so you must be busy with many things. We can go by ourselves." Xu Que was taken aback. He didn't expect that Bai Cailing would be so cordial. Could it be that she also wanted to get a share of the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines?
Bai Cailing said with a faint smile, "Elder Xu, you don't know this. There are many special Restriction Spells in the Mystery Land, and we can't break them by force. Many generations of the Jade Lake's disciples have ventured into the Mystery Land, and they have accumulated rich experience. They have figured out a way to pass through the Restriction Spells. But this method is quite complicated, and it involves many things. This is why I want to lead the way for you. I hope I can save you some time and energy."
As Bai Cailing spoke, it seemed as if she had thought of something, and she added, "Elder Xu, what you said is correct. The Jade Lake will have many affairs that I need to take care of, and this is why I have to come back in advance after leading the way for you."
"Fine, I'll have to trouble you then, Saint Maiden Bai." Xu Que nodded with a faint smile.
It was obvious that Bai Cailing told Xu Que that she didn't want to get a share of the loot, and she didn't covet the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. This was why she would come back in advance after leading them into the Mystery Land. This was a wise decision.
Moreover, in Bai Cailing's eyes, the Jade Lake's peach garden was more valuable than the Chiliad Gold Resurrection Vines. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given up the secret of that place in exchange for Xu Que's help in reviving the peach garden.
After a short while, Xu Que and his group set out on their journey.
Bai Cailing led the way for them personally, and this time, she didn't ask the Jade Lake's disciples to accompany them, nor did she send any protectors.
After all, the Mystery Land was in the Tianxiang Celestial Realm's territory, and it wasn't convenient for many people to know about it. This was why she chose to lead the way alone. This was why Xu Que had a new understanding of her.
This woman was really anything but simple. She was brave, astute, and shrewd. But Xu Que still admired her. After all, what Bai Cailing had done wasn't out of line, and it could be seen from a certain point of view that she was a trustworthy and righteous person.
Such a person's future prospects were limitless. Such a person didn't need a man's care and protection. Such a person would probably be an extremely successful and strong woman on Earth.
