Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 168: Taoist Friend Mo Is a Friend, Confidant, and Benefactor

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Taoist Friend Mo Is a Friend, Confidant, and Benefactor

"Senior!"

Pei Daoyu hurriedly kneeled, crawled to the front of the white-haired female cultivator, and said respectfully:

"I didn’t know you were coming, and I failed to welcome you from afar, I hope you’ll forgive me, Senior!"

The white-haired female cultivator coldly asked, "Who was that person just now?"

Pei Daoyu knelt on the ground, his eyes darting around, and ultimately did not dare to hide anything, replying:

"Reporting to you, Senior, that person is a messenger from the Chang Family in Xingluo Town, here to inquire about the whereabouts of Chang Chunzi. It seems Chang Chunzi has not shown up for a long time, and the Chang Family has noticed, so they sent someone to search all around."

He suddenly felt the temperature in the room drop rapidly, and immediately felt his heart grow cold with fear, repeatedly kowtowing:

"Please, calm your anger, Senior! I only pretended not to know anything and have not revealed any connection between Senior Qin and this matter at all."

Upon saying this, he felt the temperature gradually return to normal. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and continued:

"Senior, the Chang Family hasn’t found anyone yet. They will definitely send experts to investigate everywhere, and Yunling Town cannot escape this. I’m worried that this matter will eventually fall upon Senior Qin, so you should prepare early."

The white-haired female cultivator replied coldly, "Keep your mouth shut and don’t worry about other matters."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Pei Daoyu quickly agreed repeatedly, and secretly looked up at the elegant figure of the white-haired female cultivator, but couldn’t hold back and asked:

"Senior, what is your relationship with Senior Qin...?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

In the next moment, the temperature in the room dropped drastically, Pei Daoyu’s expression became frozen, and white frost quickly covered his hair, forehead, cheeks, and entire body.

In just a moment, Pei Daoyu was turned into an ice sculpture, his expression of terror visible through the thin layer of ice, looking particularly eerie.

The white-haired female cultivator’s voice was as icy as frost: "Next time, if you speak too much, I won’t show mercy."

After saying this, her figure flickered, and she was gone.

Not long after she left, crack, crack, the ice encasing Pei Daoyu cracked open and finally shattered into pieces on the ground.

"Ha! Cough, cough, cough!"

Pei Daoyu exhaled a large breath, kneeling on the ground, trembling all over, bowing towards the direction she departed:

"Senior, I acknowledge my wrongdoing, I won’t dare ask again!"

After kneeling for a long while without a response, Pei Daoyu finally struggled to climb up.

Just for asking one question, I almost got killed. Is Qin Gengyun really that important to the Senior?

Damn, Qin Gengyun has really hit a stroke of luck, having such a powerful backing!

He leaned against the table and slowly sat down, his gaze drifting uncertainly.

I wonder who is more powerful, the Chang Family or her?

If the Chang Family can be used to capture her, could I force her to hand over the antidote for the Heart-devouring Pill?

...

The next day.

Narrow Rain Lane.

The first house at the entrance of the alley.

This is where Landlord Lin Wei of Narrow Rain Lane lives.

The Eastern Cultivation Land is divided among the Three Great Sects. Under Zhenyang Sect are three cities and twelve towns, along with scattered villages, mountains, rivers, etc., which cannot be counted.

Each city has a City Lord, and each town has a Guardian, with each street also having its appropriate management.

Lin Wei, as the landlord of Narrow Rain Lane, can be considered a minor manager.

However, though she holds power, she has never made things difficult for the tenants of Narrow Rain Lane. All are low-level cultivators, and causing trouble would yield no benefits; it’s better to be kind to people.

Early in the morning, Lin Wei had just gotten out of bed when the door was knocked.

"Who is it? So early."

She murmured a bit, went to open the door, and found Qin Gengyun standing at the entrance.

"So it’s Alchemist Qin!"

Lin Wei saw it was Qin Gengyun at the door and her face immediately brightened with a smile.

Now Qin Gengyun was no longer the down-and-out loose cultivator living in a cramped little room.

Yesterday Lin Wei heard that Qin Gengyun, along with his wives, had moved to a Spirit Vein Immortal Mansion on Caifeng Street.

It’s said that Qin Gengyun is now a Third Tier Alchemist, with a Qi Cultivation level of seventh-layer. Such cultivation and alchemical mastery make him an upper-class figure in Yunling Town.

Lin Wei naturally wouldn’t offend him.

Qin Gengyun clasped his hands and said, "Landlord Lin, sorry for disturbing you so early."

"Alchemist Qin, no need to be polite, please come in!" Lin Wei laughed heartily, stepping aside to invite him indoors.

After sitting down with tea, Qin Gengyun took out an invitation card and handed it to Lin Wei:

"Landlord Lin, my wife and I have moved to Caifeng Street, and tomorrow we’re hosting a banquet at our new house, inviting all neighbors from Narrow Rain Lane to attend."

Lin Wei accepted it with a smile, "Congratulations, I’ll surely be there tomorrow!"

Qin Gengyun continued, "Landlord Lin, there’s one more thing; I’d like to buy the room I used to live in."

Lin Wei was taken aback and asked, "The one at the alley’s end?"

Qin Gengyun replied, "No, the one I lived in earliest."

Lin Wei was puzzled and asked, "That room is small and old, why does Alchemist Qin want to buy it?"

Qin Gengyun smiled, "That’s where my wife and I got married, and it holds significant meaning for me, I hope Landlord Lin will be willing to accommodate."

"I see!" Lin Wei remarked in admiration, "Alchemist Qin is so affectionate toward your wife, it’s truly admirable!"

Lin Wei then brought Qin Gengyun to handle the property deed, in the end, Qin Gengyun purchased the small house for 160 Spirit Stones.

"Alchemist Qin, from today, this house belongs to you and your wife."

Standing before the familiar old door, Lin Wei handed the deed and keys to Qin Gengyun.

Coincidentally, no one had rented this house lately, and Qin Gengyun entered to find the place unchanged, as if reliving the night he married Qiu Zhihe.

At that time, both were unfamiliar and awkward, he was bewildered by how she pushed him.

Then his wife made the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Porridge for him, and they gradually grew closer and developed feelings over time.

In this narrow room, every corner held the traces of their lives together.

With a smile, Qin Gengyun thought that if he and his wife had children in the future, he’d bring them here to see.

"By the way, Alchemist Qin, I suddenly remembered something..."

Lin Wei looked at Qin Gengyun, a smile of complex meaning on her face:

"Mo Xiaolan, do you remember?"

Qin Gengyun turned around, without any hesitation:

"Of course I remember, very soon I’ll find Taoist Friend Mo."

He had long discussed with Qiu Zhihe that once he reached Foundation Establishment, his wife would use the Spirit Seeking Array to help him locate Mo Xiaolan.

If Mo Xiaolan had settled elsewhere and established herself, he’d be happy for her, and naturally visit to share drinks.

If Mo Xiaolan wasn’t faring well, he’d definitely lend a hand, whether helping her return to Yunling Town or assisting her in getting established.

As long as he could help, he wouldn’t sit by idly.

Back then, when he came to Yunling Town from Zhenyang City, afflicted by Pill Poison and impoverished, all hope seemed lost.

At that time, he harbored faint thoughts of death.

Fortunately, he encountered Mo Xiaolan, a forever cheerful, optimistic, diligent, and kind female neighbor, like sunshine dispelling the shadows in his heart.

To Qin Gengyun, Mo Xiaolan is a friend, a confidante, and a benefactor.

Taoist Friend Mo, we’ll reunite very soon.
