"Is Li Qingshan in this city?" Gu Yanying looked around with her sharp eagle eyes and asked telepathically.
"Yes." Little Ann nodded and walked into the city.
Both of them were dressed in white robes embroidered with gold and had white bandages over their heads and faces. The hem of their robes dragged on the ground as they walked, giving off a desert vibe. However, there was no shortage of eccentrics among cultivators, so they were not conspicuous in the crowd.
Gu Yanying was enjoying the scenery of the city — the crisscrossing rivers and streets, the well-proportioned balconies and gardens. It was not just a scenery with each step, but a hundred sceneries with each step she took. Although it was a bustling city, it did not have the mundane atmosphere of an ordinary city. It could be said that "all cultivators talk and laugh, and no mortals come and go".
She couldn't help but exclaim, "This is really a good place! We were blocked in the cave residence and almost lost our lives. He must be very happy here, and he might have met many women. Tsk, if I had known this, I would have come to explore the way. "
Little Ann did not answer. He walked forward at a fixed pace. He stepped on the bluestone road, crossed a bridge, turned into an alley, and walked into a main street. The mottled light and shadow between the buildings quietly flowed on the white robe.
After being together for so many days, Gu Yanying was already used to it, "His situation is unclear now, so we shouldn't rashly recognize him. After we find him, let's observe him for a while. It's best if he comes to us. "
"Yes." Little Ann responded and continued to walk forward. After a while, Gu Yanying showed a puzzled expression, "Miss, I'm not doubting your feelings. Although the path we took is different, we have been walking in circles since just now."
Little Ann said, "We are walking in circles."
Gu Yanying asked, "Where is he?"
"I don't know."
"…"
Little Ann took the initiative to explain, which was very rare, "There are too many cultivators gathered here, and there are too many formations to determine the exact location of Qingshan. You have sharp eyes, look carefully! "
"Thank you for the compliment." Gu Yanying held her forehead with a helpless expression. "I'll use my 'sharp eyes' to search carefully." She stretched out two fingers to touch her eyes and turned her wrist to look around.
Little Ann said, "Be serious."
Gu Yanying's eyes focused. She ignored the obstruction of various buildings, bypassed various magic circles, and skimmed over the flowing river like a hawk. He flew over the rows of shacks and passed through the gaps between the buildings.
All of a sudden, his eyes lit up, "I saw him …"
Little Ann immediately said, "Take me there."
The two of them, one in front and one behind, quietly and quickly crossed the street. Like two ghosts walking in the daytime, they soon arrived at a public square in the world.
Little Ann looked around anxiously but couldn't find Li Qingshan. "Where is he?"
Gu Yanying smiled and pointed to the List of All Creations. "… His name."
A touch of anger flashed across Little Ann's face, and he stared at Gu Yanying expressionlessly.
Swoosh! Gu Yanying whistled. She turned her head to avoid looking at her. "It's better than going around in circles in the city."
Little Ann withdrew her gaze and looked at the Three Creations "Li Qingshan" on the List of All Creations.
Gu Yanying patted her on the shoulder. "It's very close. He can be on this list, and it proves that he's doing well. Based on his character, he will definitely make trouble. He won't be unknown.
。 I can find out by just asking around. "
So she focused her eyes. She used her eyes instead of her ears to listen. The hustle and bustle on the public square turned into thousands of words falling into her eyes. Even some "rough" thoughts of low-level cultivators were captured by her eyes.
In an instant, the Three Creations "Li Qingshan" appeared over a hundred times, and this didn't include the large amounts of thoughts that couldn't be captured.
Gu Yanying smiled. "I knew it!"
The List of All Creations was important information that all disciples paid attention to. It directly determined one's status and rank. The fact that Li Qingshan suddenly became an inner disciple had already caused a huge reaction in Wanxiang City, especially on this public square. Moreover, rumors and slanders were flying everywhere.
"Did you hear? The Quartermaster has already sent people to recruit that Li guy! "
"Why didn't I hear about it? Do you think you're the only one who is well-informed?"
"Hehe, that Li guy is really unlucky this time. This is so satisfying. How can the Myriad Creations Sect be so unruly? He wanted to hide in the Hundred Herb Garden and take care of the flowers and plants, but he was sent to the battlefield. "
"That's right. It's not just senior brother Ge. I heard that a few senior brothers are also very dissatisfied. I'm afraid that even senior sister Ruan won't be able to protect him this time!"
The speed at which rumors spread had always been very fast, especially among cultivators. They spread ten or even a hundred times faster among cultivators.
Nouveau riches were the easiest to incite jealousy and dissatisfaction. Li Qingshan had only joined the sect for a short period of time, but he had already accomplished a leap that many disciples could never achieve in their entire lives.
"He seems to be in trouble. That's not strange."
"Bird woman, let's go to the Quartermaster." Little Ann quickly blended into the crowd.
"Bird woman!" Gu Yanying was stunned for a moment before laughing and following closely behind.
…
The Quartermaster was located in the northwest of Wanxiang City. It was like a huge military camp. Not only did it have an independent formation system, it was also filled with sentries and patrols. The camp was filled with cultivators filled with a murderous aura. It was the complete opposite of the overall style of Wanxiang City. Primitive and crude black stone palaces were arranged around the camp without any sense of beauty.
The quartermaster led the way at the front. Everyone had to make way and greet him. Occasionally, they would meet one or two quartermasters of the same rank and they would just nod.
Li Qingshan followed behind the logistics officer silently. Suddenly, he felt slightly agitated, but it was not because of the atmosphere here, nor was it because he was worried about whether he would be "banished to the army" or not. Instead, it was a different emotion, one that was intimate and warm.
However, just like how the Quartermaster's temperament did not match with Wanxiang City, his current temperament did not match this place either. Apart from the servants and attendants, most of the people here were cultivators who had returned from the battlefield to rest. All of them were battle-hardened and had their own arrogance.
Due to cultivating the Qilin's Guide of Longevity, Li Qingshan's appearance had always been as delicate and handsome as a young man's, and because he cultivated the Heavenly Tome of Freedom, all of his demonic thoughts had been depleted.
Now, he was simply amiable and harmless. Moreover, he constantly followed the natural order and did not reveal his cultivation. His temperament was completely out of place. He was like a little sheep that had entered a pack of wolves.
Therefore, these people looked at him with unfriendly gazes. Most of them had a bit of contempt and disdain, and even a little invasive.
Li Qingshan chuckled and did not take it to heart. These people reeked of blood and had fierce expressions. However, they were clearly just Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators. There were not even many Nascent Soul cultivators. If looks could kill enemies, what was the point of cultivation? Even if it was this arrogant short-lived person in front of him, he was confident that he could kill him in three moves. At this distance, one punch would be enough.
As he concentrated on thinking about the reason for his agitation, his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked around and said, "Could it be?"
The quartermaster felt a chill down his back. He glanced back in confusion. Li Qingshan was looking left and right, not knowing what he was looking for. Was it an illusion? He shouted unhappily, "Don't look around. Let's go!"
"Yes!" Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows and was slightly angry. He stopped looking around and stared at the quartermaster's back. However, he had a feeling that they were nearby.
The quartermaster's body stiffened. No, it was not an illusion! In an instant, a chill went deep into his bones. Even in this noisy military camp, there was no sense of safety. It was as if he was being followed by a ferocious tiger and could be torn into pieces at any time. He did not dare to stop or look back. He walked forward mechanically.
In the center of the military camp, there was a black stone tower. At the top of the tower, a short but strong man with a square face and big ears stood with his hands behind his back. He was the commander of this military camp, the quartermaster, Ge Xing.
He looked down at Li Qingshan who was walking over from afar and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"
Beside him stood a graceful and upright woman. She said with a look of disdain, "Not much? He is just a lucky disciple. Now he is very well-behaved. "
Indeed, in the eyes of the bystanders, Li Qingshan followed behind the logistics officer, keeping his head down and blindly following his every step. He was as docile as he could be. However, he did not know that the quartermaster's back was drenched in sweat. Every step he took was extremely difficult. If he stopped for a moment, he would be killed instantly. He walked forward as if he was possessed.
Ge Xing laughed loudly, his voice like a bell, "A lucky disciple who defeated a Yin Master at the Nascent Soul Stage? A lucky disciple who was seen as a dark horse by Le Tian? A lucky disciple who dared to challenge Grand Senior Sister! "
The woman was speechless. She said indignantly, "If he did not cheat, how could he become an inner disciple so quickly?"
"You are just jealous." Ge Xing said calmly, "Back then, you were also the first to enter the sect. You spent so much time and effort to become an inner disciple and stand behind me. Yet, he obtained everything easily. The few true disciples took special care of him and even treated him as an equal. You think it is unfair, right? "
"Yes." The woman lowered her head.
Ge Xing growled, "Damn it, even I think it is unfair. If I had seen it with my own eyes, I would definitely not have bet on it. Sigh, I can't blame you for not being able to tell. Some people cannot be judged by common sense. This time, we have all been tricked by that bastard Le Tian. He failed miserably, so he dragged us down to make up for it. "
"This Li Qingshan has already gone through four heavenly tribulations. He cultivates the Unrestrained Heavenly Book, which no one has ever cultivated before. With such a huge amount of contribution points, it is only a matter of time before he becomes an inner disciple. With Junior Sister Ruan's personality, she would not help others cheat. Pi Yangqiu is just a petty person. He is afraid that I will take advantage of the situation to deal with him. "
"However, it is a good move. I am indeed not a gentleman. I will not admit defeat for nothing. However, I am starting to doubt whether it was the right decision to send him to the battlefield. "
"Senior Brother!" The woman was shocked. "Why? Are you afraid that he will … "
"Shut up. He is not a true disciple yet. Even if he really becomes one, I am not afraid of him. Look at your Junior Brother Liu. "
"Eh! His expression seems unnatural and he is not greeting anyone. What happened? "
"Hehe, nothing much. I am just scared."
