"Don't leave his side?" Linghu Qiu said angrily, "Do you think I can sleep with him?"
Hong Xiu covered her mouth and smiled. She knew he said it out of anger.
Linghu Qiu pondered for a while and then muttered, "That woman is in the State of Qi. Niu Youdao just started his career not long ago. What kind of grudge could that woman have with Niu Youdao?"
Hong Xiu said, "It's not easy to ask the higher-ups. Sir knows the rules …"
In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed.
Under the moonlight, Zhong Yangxu stood in the courtyard with his hands behind his back and looked up at the moon.
Shao Pingbo hurriedly came out of the study after he was notified. He quickly walked up to him, cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Uncle, why are you here? Do you have any instructions? Cough, cough …" Before he could finish his words, he had already clenched his fists and coughed repeatedly.
Zhong Yangxu flipped his hand and handed over a wax pill. "I heard that you are coughing badly again. The Great Zen Mountain asked someone to buy some elixirs for you."
Shao Pingbo took it with both hands and said politely, "Uncle, you can just send someone to deliver it. How can I trouble you to come here personally?"
Zhong Yangxu said, "Take it. It's good for nourishing qi and blood. I spent a lot of money to buy it."
"Yes!" Shao Pingbo crushed the wax pill, revealing a white jade-like pill. He smelled its fragrance and slowly put it in his mouth. He swallowed it with saliva.
Shao Sansheng immediately went into the room to get a cup of water for him. Shao Pingbo took it and gulped it down.
Zhong Yangxu watched from the side and sighed.
Every time he saw Shao Pingbo, he would think of the scene where Lady Ruan and her son were poisoned to death. He had already defined Shao Pingbo as a vicious and vicious person. The more respectful this person was to him, the more uncomfortable he felt.
To be honest, he did not like this kind of person because he was afraid of him and worried that he would be devoured!
But the reality was that this guy's ability was extraordinary. No one was blind. The development of the Northern State was obvious to all. The entire Great Zen Mountain was happy.
After he handed over the teacup, Zhong Yangxu waved his hand and signaled for him to turn around. "I will cast a spell to recuperate your body." Then, he placed his palm on Shao Pingbo's back.
A stream of qi flowed through the meridians in his body. Shao Pingbo squinted his eyes in comfort.
Shao Pingbo felt that his whole body was much more relaxed after he finished circulating his Qi. His exhaustion was swept away.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Shao Pingbo turned around and cupped his hands in thanks.
Zhong Yangxu said, "You don't have to overwork your body. You need to rest more. Otherwise, you'll expose your own wounds and it'll be difficult to cure the root of your illness. No matter how good the medicine is, it won't be able to withstand your self-harm!"
Shao Pingbo smiled bitterly.
Zhong Yangxu was silent for a while and realized that he was talking nonsense. With the current situation in Bei Zhou, this guy couldn't rest. The Great Zen Mountain probably didn't want him to rest either. Thus, he tilted his head and said to Shao Sandao, "I will arrange for someone to recuperate Young Master's body every day. Think of a way to arrange the time."
"Yes!" Shao Sansheng responded respectfully.
"Rest early!" Zhong Yangxu looked at the light in the study room, then turned around and left.
Shao Pingbo personally sent him out of the courtyard, and then stood quietly outside the courtyard, watching him leave as a sign of respect!
When Zhong Yangxu's figure disappeared, Shao Sansheng said in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master."
Shao Pingbo turned around and saw that something was wrong, so he turned around and led him back.
Back in the study room, Shao Sansheng approached him and reported softly, "Miss Su replied that she hasn't made a move yet. She said that Linghu Qiu is very annoying. He follows Niu Youdao closely, and she hasn't found a chance to make a move."
"Phew!" Shao Pingbo let out a sigh of regret. "I knew that guy was prepared, and it wouldn't be easy to succeed … Closely? Sister Zhao used this word to describe him in her reply? "He squinted at him.
Shao Sansheng nodded. "Yes!"
Shao Pingbo said curiously, "I've never heard of any friendship between Linghu Qiu and him. Logically speaking, the two of them shouldn't have had any contact before. Inseparable? Don't you think it's strange that Linghu Qiu has such a close relationship with him? Why do I feel that there's a problem? "
He furrowed his brows and paced back and forth in the room, thinking about something.
Slowly, he stopped and said to himself, "If I remember correctly, Sister Zhao said that when she was in contact with Linghu Qiu, she was discovered by the organization. The organization warned her that Linghu Qiu has a complicated background and told her not to provoke him … There's something fishy about this!"
Shao Sansheng said, "Linghu Qiu's background is indeed complicated, and he has a lot of connections. The organization behind Miss Su is very mysterious, and they don't want to expose it. It's reasonable that they told Miss Su not to provoke them. Is there a problem?"
"That's the problem!" Shao Pingbo suddenly turned around.
Shao Sansheng was stunned. He said with a bitter smile, "This old servant is slow-witted. I don't see any problem!"
Shao Pingbo asked, "Sister Zhao was warned by the organization behind Linghu Qiu when she came in contact with Linghu Qiu. Linghu Qiu and Niu Youdao were always on the move, and Sister Zhao was able to find out that they were closely following each other. Do you think this kind of thing can be hidden from the organization behind Sister Zhao?"
Shao Sansheng fell into deep thought.
"This Linghu Qiu is a little interesting …" Shao Pingbo narrowed his eyes and muttered. He paced back and forth for two steps and stopped in front of Shao Sansheng. "Reply to Sister Zhao and ask her if she received another warning from the organization when she was monitoring Linghu Qiu. Also, remind her that if the organization didn't warn her, she should be careful when facing Linghu Qiu in the future. "
Shao Sansheng asked, "What does Eldest Young Master mean?"
Shao Pingbo's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. "This Linghu Qiu might be from the same organization as Sister Zhao. Linghu Qiu and Niu Youdao are closely following each other. It's very likely that he knew that Sister Zhao was going to make a move on Niu Youdao, so he didn't want to give Sister Zhao a chance to make a move … From a certain point of view, this explains why Linghu Qiu would hang out with Niu Youdao."
Shao Sansheng filled in the gaps. "Could it be that the organization knows that Miss Su has a sense of propriety and knows that she won't implicate Linghu Qiu? So, since they've already warned Miss Su once, they don't need to warn her again?"
Shao Pingbo coldly snorted. "It can only be said that it's possible. As for whether it's true or not, Sister Zhao should know better than us. That's why they want you to remind her. In addition, if Linghu Qiu and Niu Youdao's relationship is really that good, who can guarantee that Linghu Qiu won't help if someone attacks Niu Youdao? As long as the organization didn't warn Sister Zhao, there's a high chance that Linghu Qiu has something fishy going on with the organization. Even if he's not a member of the organization, he must have a close relationship with them! "
Shao Sansheng: "If that's the case, should we warn Miss Su about Niu Youdao's matter?"
"No!" Shao Sansheng waved his hand. "If Linghu Qiu is really a member of that organization, the fact that they didn't warn Sister Zhao this time means that they don't want to expose Linghu Qiu's identity. It's obvious that the organization is keeping Linghu Qiu's identity a secret. If Sister Zhao finds out, I'm afraid she'll get herself into trouble. Tell Sister Zhao to do what she needs to do. Just pretend that she doesn't know anything and that she knows what's going on.
"Okay, I understand. I'll send a message to Miss Su." Shao Sansheng nodded.
When there was only one person left in the room, Shao Pingbo was still pacing back and forth. Finally, he stopped in front of the table and gently tapped his fingertips on the table. He stared at the flame and said to himself, "A rogue cultivator can achieve what he has today. No wonder … The Waning Moon Pavilion … It seems that they've been plotting something … I'd like to see who's plotting who …"
The group of people walked along the way. The more they walked, the more desolate it became.
Finally, they came to a dusty little town. Looking from the outside, the whole town gave off an earthy yellow hue. Beyond the town, there was a mountain range in the distance behind the town.
"The boundless sea of sand is blocking the back of that mountain range. If you want to go there, you have to give up your mount." Linghu Qiu, who was sitting upright on the horse, pointed to the mountain range in front of them and pointed to the road outside the town that led to the distance. "Brother, are you sure that you don't want to go to Qi Kingdom directly, but change to the 'Boundless Pavilion'?"
The Boundless Pavilion was an existence similar to the Picking Star City and the Ice and Snow Pavilion. The difference was that it was located in the vast desert. Because of the boundless sea of sand around it, it got the name Boundless Pavilion.
Niu Youdao, "After crossing the sea of sand, we can reach Qi Kingdom. The time seems to be more or less the same, right?"
Hong Xiu smiled and said, "The time is more or less the same, but one is on the back of a horse, and the other needs to use his magic power to fly. Doesn't Daoye pity us women? Besides, if Daoye goes to the Boundless Pavilion, he will definitely stay there. There will definitely be a difference in time. "
Niu Youdao said, "I've long heard of the great name of the Boundless Pavilion, but I haven't seen it. Since I'm here, I must take the chance to see it. Otherwise, it would be a pity to pass by it. After all, it's not easy to come here."
Linghu Qiu laughed and said, "Brother, what are you talking about urgently needing a warhorse? Along the way, I saw that you walked when you should and rested when you should. You didn't seem to be in a hurry at all!"
Niu Youdao looked around and revealed a thought-provoking smile at the corner of his mouth. "Some things can't be rushed, and it's not good to urge brother to hurry. I'm afraid that brother will be too tired. Fortunately, the journey is safe and sound. To be honest, ever since I left the Shangqing Sect, I haven't had a smooth journey. I would always encounter danger. This is the first time it's so smooth! "
Hong Fu glanced at him coldly. Hong Xiu smiled and didn't say anything.
Linghu Qiu muttered in his heart, "Smooth my ass. It's not that I'm blocking for you. Show me how smooth it is!"
On the surface, he laughed and said, "Isn't this good?"
Niu Youdao said, "But then again, even if there's trouble, I'm not afraid. As long as I say brother's name, I'll definitely be able to ward off evil!"
"It sounds better when you say it." Linghu Qiu shook his head and slowly walked into the small town. "Alright, don't talk nonsense. Since we're going to the Boundless Pavilion, don't dawdle here. It's not too late to have a good rest when we reach the Boundless Pavilion."
The group entered the small town and made some adjustments. They first ate and drank for a while. When they came out from the other side of the small town, they had already abandoned their mounts and each of them had a sheepskin water bottle.
Their silhouettes flew up and down on the Gobi Desert. They arrived at the foot of the mountain range and flew all the way up. When they reached the top of the mountain, they flew between the peaks.
When they stopped at the edge of the mountain range, the scenery in front of them was already very different. The yellow sand dunes at the foot of the mountain spread far away. It was boundless, vast, and magnificent!
A grand and desolate aura hit them in the face.
At the top of the mountain where they landed, there were no other plants. Only oddly shaped cacti could be seen.
