lead fades away

Living in the guest house, surrounded by disciples of Xianchumen, Han Shuo couldn't be as casual as he was in the Winter Palace, and continued to put on the airs of an elder after entering the house, letting Qing Shi tidy up and serve him back and forth.

"Did you think before you came that you might not go back?" Han Shuo asked suddenly.When leaving Baidian, Qingshi was busy for a while, not to mention dismantling the magic circle arranged in the main hall, and tidying up the things in the side hall.

"That's not true, I'm afraid that someone will go in and steal things after we leave." Qing Shi shrugged and brought a cup of spiritual tea to Han Shuo.

"Did you make that magic circle yourself?" Han Shuo asked casually, holding up his teacup.

"En." Qingshi nodded, and sat down on the chair next to Han Shuo.

"The restraining magic circle I saw in your small courtyard back then, you made it yourself, didn't you?" Han Shuo raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That one was really bought in Penglai Pavilion." Qing Shi chuckled, and then added, "Of course, I tampered with it after I bought it."

"Hmph." Han Shuo couldn't help but snort coldly.

The two were chatting, but suddenly a disciple outside the room said loudly, "Elder Han, may I interrupt you?"

"Come in." Han Shuo was slightly taken aback.

A Xianchu sect disciple opened the door and walked in, bowed and said, "Elder Han, there are disciples from Xuantian Immortal Domain outside the courtyard to pay a visit to Junior Brother Yanqing and Shiyan."

"Meet me? Who is it?" Qing Shi asked in a daze.

"He calls himself Xuan Weiyang, and there is a young female cultivator by his side."

Qing Shi couldn't help frowning after a sudden realization - how did these two people know that he was in the guest house, they obviously sent eyeliners to follow him.

"Go and meet him. Since he came to the door on his own initiative, we can't let people say that our Xianchumen is arrogant and rude." Han Shuo said expressionlessly.

"Disciple understands." Qing Shi stood up and bowed to Han Shuo, then turned around and followed the disciple to meet the visitor.

When they came to the gate of the courtyard, the brothers and sisters Xuan Weiyang and Xuan Lin stood there.Seeing Qingshi coming out, Xuan Weiyang took the initiative to step forward to salute, "Long time no see, Junior Brother Yan."

"Not too long, not too long." Qing Shi cupped his hands with a smile, and then asked the disciple who led him to find an empty room where he could receive guests, and led Xuan Weiyang and Xuan Lin in.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Qing didn't invite anyone to bring tea or anything to entertain him, and asked straight to the point, "What do you two want me for?"

Xuan Weiyang didn't seem to have expected that Qingshi would be so impolite and unceremonious, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled lightly, "What's the meaning of Junior Brother Yan? I just heard that sister Xuanlin mentioned that I met you by chance in North Street, Just looking for an opportunity to come and pay a visit."

"Then it's great that you have found this opportunity, as long as you come a little earlier, this visit will not be possible." Qing Shipi said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Yan was joking." Xuan Weiyang still smiled, but there was a little more embarrassment in the smile.

"Actually, my brother is here with me!" Xuan Lin quickly answered the words with a smile, "I wanted to come to visit you after seeing you on the street yesterday, but they told me that you didn't live in Changxin Palace, so I told you Please ask my brother to find someone to help me keep an eye on it, and when we know you're coming, we'll come here in a hurry—are you going to leave later?"

——I haven't seen you in half a year, but I'm more talkative than before.

Qing Shi smiled slightly, "It's hard to say, you saw it the other day, I'm not free now."

"The senior who was with you that day looked familiar, but Zhenjun Han Shuo?" Xuan Lin asked immediately.

"Exactly." Qing Shi nodded.

"Could it be that Junior Brother Yan has been accepted as a disciple by Han Zhenjun?" Xuan Weiyang's eyes lit up.

"I don't have that kind of blessing, but I just follow him as an attendant disciple." Qing Shi said with a smile.

"Uncle Yan, is Han Zhenjun in the courtyard now? I wonder if my brother and I have the good fortune to visit Han Zhenjun and ask him for some advice?" Xuan Lin also asked with bright eyes.

"I really don't know if you two have this blessing." Qing Shi smiled lightly, and then changed his voice, "But I'm sure, I definitely don't have the face to introduce you."

Xuan Weiyang and Xuan Lin's expressions froze at the same time, they opened their mouths, and hesitated to speak.

"Hehe, I figured it out, you two are here to see me, are you here for us Elder Han?" Qing Shi's eyes swept across the faces of the two of them, "Besides, the two of you are still here!" Not for yourself, but to run errands for others?"

Xuan Lin was obviously a lot nervous, but Xuan Weiyang smiled calmly, "Junior Brother Yan, you are joking again."

"Of course, low-level monks like you and I, don't we just talk and laugh when we get together?" Qing Shi also smiled meaningfully.

"That's true." Xuan Weiyang agreed, and suddenly changed the subject, "Speaking of which, I heard that Elder Han was invited by his great-uncle to live in the Winter Palace temporarily, why did he return to Changxin Palace today?"

"Hehe, doesn't Senior Brother Xuan know what happened today? Could it be that Senior Brother Xuan didn't participate in the Shuangxiu Hall of Immortal Ziling?" Qing Shi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I am a junior, so there is no place for me in such an important celebration." Xuan Weiyang smiled very modestly, "Although I heard about it later, it was only a few words, but the more I listened, the more confused I became—— Junior Brother Yan must be at the scene, can you clear up my doubts?"

"No place?" Qingshi ignored Xuan Weiyang's inquiry, and only opened his eyes wide in surprise, "The last time I was at my Xianchumen, I saw Ziling Xianjun took good care of the two of you, and thought the two were What about his beloved descendants, isn't that the case?"

"Great-uncle has always treated the disciples in the family equally, and of course this kind of care is not exclusive to us." Xuanzi smiled slightly, with a pun on his words.

"I forgot, you are a family of blood relatives, which is very different from our Xianchumen." Qingshi nodded suddenly, and then asked, "I don't know which family brother Xuan is from?"

Xuan Weiyang was taken aback by Qingshi's question, but immediately smiled lightly, "I'm lucky, the first family of the Xuan family is ranked seventeenth."

——The Xuan family has truly turned inside out this time.

Qing Shi sneered in his heart, but he was even more surprised on his face, "Isn't Brother Xuan the great-nephew of Ziling Xianjun's direct relative?"

"I don't dare to call myself that." Xuan Weiyang waved his hands quickly.

"Senior Brother Xuan is so young that he has a golden core. Even the ancestors of the Xuan family will only be proud of you. Why should Brother Xuan belittle himself like that incompetent dandy who clings to the family? You know, being too modest is hypocrisy. Don't imitate that hypocrite's behavior!" Qingshi's words were concealed, and Xuan Weiyang fought with Xuan Weiyang, circling around, specious.

At the beginning, Xuan Weiyang accompanied Qingshi around, trying to find out the relationship between Han Shuo and Xuan Ziling, as well as his position on today's affairs from side-by-side.But while talking, Xuan Weiyang found that Qing Shi was far from being as frank and straightforward as he seemed, and when he came to a key topic, he immediately lost his tune, so slippery that people couldn't catch a little chance.

However, in the end, he lost his patience and didn't care about what he said in the last sentence. He bluntly said, "Senior Brother Xuan, when are you going to say goodbye? I've been with you for nearly an hour, if you don't leave I You can directly serve tea to see off the guests."

And Xuan Weiyang was not as thick-skinned as Qingshi after all, everyone talked about this, so he had no choice but to lead Xuan Lin to get up and leave.Before leaving, Xuan Weiyang asked to see Han Shuo again, this time Qingshi made it clear, "Come on, if you really have that sincerity, go back and ask your parents to come over in person, you are not even qualified to accompany the last seat Foundation Establishment junior, what qualifications do you have to mention the word 'worship'?"

Xuan Weiyang's face turned hot from being choked, but she couldn't lose her temper, so she had to laugh a couple of times in embarrassment, said goodbye and left.

After sending off Xuan Weiyang and Xuan Lin, Qing Shi went back to Han Shuo's room and guessed Xuan Weiyang's reason for coming.

"Under my banner, I'm actually here for you. It sounds like I want to probe into the relationship between you and Xuan Ziling." Qing Shi said, "This Xuan Weiyang and Xuan Ziling belong to the first family of the Xuan family, but they are obviously not the same. Otherwise, there is no need to deliberately go to the guest courtyard of Changxin Palace to inquire about news."

"What do they do with my relationship with Xuan Ziling? No matter how good our relationship is, I can't help him fight for the position of Patriarch; no matter how bad it is, it won't cause the Xiantrumen and Xuantian Immortal Territory to fight against each other." Han Shuo frowned. .

"Yes, personal friendship is nothing in front of the interests of Xianmen." Qing Shi also touched his chin in doubt, then raised his eyebrows and said, "They don't want to completely destroy Xuanziling...what the hell? Bar?"

"How is it possible? After all, Xuan Ziling is the biological son of Zhenjun Hai Zhu, and he is a Nascent Soul cultivator himself. Even if someone has such a mind, it is not so easy to do it." Han Shuo did not agree with Qing Shi's guess. .

"What if Zhenjun Hai Zhu has already disliked him?" Qing Shi said, "Do you still remember the seat at today's grand ceremony? After today's accident, Zhenjun Hai Zhu's attitude was also wrong, he couldn't tell if he was angry at all, and he wasn't close to Xuan Ziling, as if it had nothing to do with him if the ceremony went well or not! Obviously Zhenjun Hai Zhu had a rift with Xuan Ziling, And Xuan Ziling will take you and Zhenjun Hai Zhu as the bulls."

"No matter what, it is impossible for Zhenjun Haizhu to sit back and watch his own son be poisoned, causing Xuantian Immortal Realm to lose a Nascent Soul cultivator." Han Shuo shook his head.

"But no matter what, the person who wants Xuan Ziling to lose his position as the young master is equally impossible to save his life, so that he has a chance to make a comeback." Qing Shi said, "The struggle for power and position in the family has always been a life-and-death struggle. It is said that Xuantian Immortal Territory has such a family, it is the Yan family's declining family, and it is inevitable to fight for the position of patriarch. There were originally seven brothers who were of the same generation as my aunt, but after my aunt's elder brother took over as the head of the Yan family, Only one concubine's six sons were left alive, and the other five either fell accidentally or died suddenly, including a half-brother of my aunt and her elder brother."

"But Zhu Zhenjun is still in his position, and he has a long lifespan. He may not be able to become the head of the Xuan family if he wins the position of young master." Han Shuo said.

"Although the position is weak, the power is fascinating. How many people can think clearly? Maybe Zhenjun Hai Zhu also wants to take the opportunity to clean up the door. After all, there is a cultivator who transforms the gods in Xuantian Immortal Territory. If that one He has a different heart and wants to plan for his juniors, how dare Zhu Zhenjun not think of ways to deal with it? Whether Xuan Ziling is a target or cannon fodder, it is impossible to make a conclusion at this moment." Qing Shi poured himself a cup of tea, and then The voice changed, "Speaking of which, your decision not to accept apprentices for the time being is really correct. You have no master, no disciples, and brothers of the same generation are not close. If we are not on our guard, the Xian Chu Clan will not bring disaster to Xiao Qiang like the Xuan Tian Immortal Realm."

"Hmph." Han Shuo glanced at Qingshi, but didn't answer.

Qing Shi just wanted him to listen to his own words and keep them in his heart, and immediately turned the topic back to Xuantian Immortal Realm, "Then Xuanziling doesn't understand, if I were him, I would rather carry it on my back." I will never marry a female cultivator at such a time. You must know that although the cultivation world looks down on those who love women there, they are also the most defenseless against such people, especially their own elders. No matter how much you hate him for not fighting, you will inevitably feel sorry for him. Even if you are forced to take away the title of young master, you will definitely not impose other punishments—fate and cultivation, so what if you lose the title? Don’t forget Oh, Zhenjun Haizhu has a long lifespan!"

"You mean, it seems that Zhenjun Zhu wants to do something to Xuan Ziling." Han Shuo frowned.

"Hai Zhu Zhenjun is not the only son of Xuan Ziling, is he? It seems that he is not the only son of Yuan Yingqi." Qing Shi smiled pointedly.

"Including him, three." Han Shuo nodded, "His youngest son Xuan Ziqi's Nascent Soul Grand Ceremony was held before my retreat, and there is also a son in the middle of Nascent Soul, who seems to be a servant of Haizhu Zhenjun. Born to concubines. However, the Xuan family has always valued the mother according to the child, and did not emphasize the distinction between concubine and concubine."

"By the way, what is the relationship between our Xiantrumen and Xuantian Immortal Territory? As far as I know, we and Wangyunzong seem to be quite cold." Qing Shi suddenly asked curiously.

"Wang Yunzong and us are both in the south, and the sect's influence will inevitably overlap, so there will naturally be more disputes. The Xuantian Immortal Territory is located in the extreme north, and there are not many opportunities for contact. There is no relationship." Han Shuo said indifferently. , "Even after I got acquainted with Xuan Ziling, the contact between the two schools has not increased much, but..."

While talking, Han Shuo frowned and became silent.

Qing didn't urge him at all, he just sipped the spiritual tea and let Han Shuo ponder over it.

After a while, Han Shuo spoke again, "Come with me to the Winter Palace again before leaving tomorrow."

"It's time to say hello, otherwise others will think that the hatred of Immortal Wuyou made you and him an enemy." Qing Shi nodded.

"I didn't see him, but you went to see those two from the Yan family," Han Shuo said, "No matter what, they are Fengxi's nephews, your siblings, and they must be properly settled before I can go back. Explain to Feng Xi."

Qing Shi couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Then why don't you go see him in person, it's more important."

"If I attach so much importance to them, why would I give them away? Acting should be appropriate." Han Shuo snorted coldly, "Or, you don't understand why I asked you to meet them?"

"Understood, of course I understand, but it's just to let people know that you didn't have a relationship with that Xuanziling because of Wuyou Xianjun." Qingshi curled her lips and said, "I just don't understand, knowing that Xuanziling wants to marry you God can take advantage of the situation, why do you let him achieve his goal? Helping him, what good is it for you?"

"It's really not good for me to help him." Han Shuo said indifferently, "But if you don't help him, let others successfully squeeze him out of the position of young master or even kill him, then the Xuantian Immortal Realm and Xian Chumen will be killed because of him." I am afraid that the relationship established with me will be completely gone. If the successor is someone who values ​​Wang Yunzong and Danmen more, and promotes the three immortal sects to completely unite, then my life will be sad for Xian Chumen .”

"Since you have already figured it out, then I won't say much." Qing Shi chuckled.

"Don't you just understand?" Han Shuo also sneered, raising his hand to pull Qing Shi into his arms, but immediately thinking of the surrounding environment, he had to withdraw his hand with a cold face.

How could Qingshi not understand Han Shuo's meaning, and immediately leaned over while supporting the table, kissed Han Shuo softly on the face, and smiled with a pun, "Elder Han is working hard."

Han Shuo glanced at him and said nothing more.

Nothing happened overnight.Early the next morning, Han Shuo greeted Yao Zhihuan, and then took Qing Shi to the Winter Palace.Although the guards of the Winter Palace immediately let Han Shuo know who he was, Han Shuo didn't go straight in. Instead, he insisted on standing at the door and calling Xuan Ziling to pick him up.The guards didn't dare to offend Han Shuo, so they had to send someone in to invite Xuan Ziling according to his wishes.

After a while, Xuan Ziling walked out quickly under the guidance of the guards.

"Han Zhenjun." Xuan Ziling bowed his hands to Han Shuo with doubts on his face.

"Go in and talk." Han Shuo said calmly.

Although he was suspicious, Han Shuo's behavior was in a sense very much in Xuan Ziling's mind. He didn't ask any further questions, and directly raised his hand and said, "Han Zhenjun, please—"

Han Shuo unceremoniously walked in the first place, Qing Shi led Wang Shuo two steps behind, and followed behind Han Shuo and Xuan Ziling.

After leaving the palace gate for some distance, Han Shuo said to Xuan Ziling, "Have you arranged for the two people I gave you?"

"How dare you be negligent?" Xuan Ziling couldn't help laughing, "Why, could it be that you can't bear it?"

"Hmph." Han Shuo snorted coldly, and without answering Xuan Ziling's words, he said directly, "I'm going back to Xianchumen in a while, so you can send someone to take my disciple to meet them for a while. It's better to explain to Feng Xi."

"It's just a Golden Core cultivator, what do you need to explain?" Xuan Ziling asked with a smile.

"After all, it's her junior, even if it's her face, I have to make sure that she stays with you safely, right?" Han Shuo said meaningfully.

"That's true." Xuan Ziling smiled clearly, took out a sound transmission talisman, sent it out, and then led Han Shuo and his party to continue to Hanzhang Hall, which is the closest to the palace gate.

When they reached the gate of Hanzhang Hall, the Fairy Siyun that Qingshi had seen in Plaything Hall was already waiting at the gate.

"Take him to the Qiulan Palace to meet Mrs. Jinliu, and call Mr. Qing over too." Xuan Ziling instructed Fairy Siyun.

"Yes." Fairy Siyun bowed slightly, bowed to Han Shuo and Xuan Ziling, and then walked up to Qingshi, "Please follow me."

"You stay with Elder Han." Qing Shi patted Wang Shuo, and then left Hanzhang Hall with Fairy Siyun.
