Chapter 119: The Two Human Tools Meet (3)
However…
Whether it was Whitey or the Granny, they obviously would not lie to her.
Qin Jiao’s expression became unprecedentedly solemn!
This was definitely the biggest crisis she had encountered in this simulated Immortal cultivation.
If she was not careful, this simulated life would end.
However, if the opponent’s lineup was really that terrifying… How could she handle it?
Qin Jiao soon realized, embarrassed, that she did not seem to have the ability to resist at all.
Just as the old Granny had said, if she wanted to get involved in some muddy waters, she could not do it without strength.
Especially when the muddy waters involved the royal family!
For example, she had not had the time to get involved in that muddy waters yet, and something had already happened!
It was a problem that she could not solve with her strength.
“Phew!”
Fortunately, after dying many times, Qin Jiao had come to terms with it. She had never been afraid of death.
At worst, she could just start all over again!
It would be ruined!
Whatever!
What she was more curious about was why the other party was coming for her?
This made her very confused.
…
At the same time, “Your Highness, the woman named ‘Qin Jiao’on the list is staying in this inn. This inn is specialized in hosting Immortal cultivators. It is the property of Lord Xie’s family in the Imperial Court.”
The Imperial City was bustling with activity. Chen Qianxue and the others were dressed no different from ordinary Immortal cultivators.
They even used a special disguise technique to disguise their appearance.
At first glance, no one could recognize her identity, unless the other party was very strong and could tell at a glance that she was disguised.
She stood on the busy street, and she looked at an inn in front of her.
Chen Qianxue said, “Let’s go in and take a look.”
“Yes!”
Chen Qianxue and the old woman entered the inn together. The spiritual energy in the inn was even denser than outside. They must have hired an array master to set up a spirit gathering array under the inn.
The guests in the inn were all Immortal cultivators. They were eating and drinking.
They were either demonic beast meat, various kinds of spirit wine, or spirit rice.
Chen Qianxue did not use her authority as a Princess to lock down the inn, nor did she send people to search everyone inside wantonly.
She found an empty table and ordered a few dishes, then she sat there quietly.
…
“They are staying in the inn and not moving?” Qin Jiao heard Granny Qin’s reminder and could not help but ask in surprise, “Aren’t they coming for me? Could it be a misunderstanding?”
The Granny said, “There is no misunderstanding. Because when they came here, they immediately locked onto this place.”
“Not only did they come to find you, but they also knew which guest room you were staying in.”
Qin Jiao was stunned.
She suddenly remembered that she had been visited by Immortal cultivators from the Imperial Court!
Only people from the Imperial Court knew where she was staying, right?
“What do they want?” Qin jiao frowned and said, “Are they preparing to wait for me to meet them?”
Granny Qin replied, “I’m not sure. Maybe that’s the case!”
Qin Jiao was silent for a moment.
“Okay!” She suddenly stood up, “If these people are here to cause trouble for me, then with their strength, there’s no way I can hide from them. Since that’s the case, I might as well go out and take a look openly. I want to see who they really are.”
Hearing this, Granny Qin could not help but sigh. The bravest person she had ever met in her life was Qin Jiao.
If it were anyone else, they would have tried to escape even in this kind of crisis.
No matter how slim the chance of escape was, they could not just let it go to waste.
But this Qin Jiao was fearless. Granny Qin did not know why she did not have any psychological burden.
Was she not afraid of death?
Was she not afraid of implicating the entire Qin Clan?
Recalling all the things Qin Jiao had done in the past 20 years, Granny Qin was surprised to find that this little baby really did not seem to be afraid of death.
This little baby did not seem to care about her own life, as if she had something to rely on.
What was the reason?
She did not know.
As an old Granny in the remnant soul state, she could only remind Qin Jiao verbally. She could not actually stop Qin Jiao from doing anything.
Thus, Qin Jiao brought Whitey out of the guest room and walked down the wooden stairs of the inn.
In front of them, there were quite a number of Immortal cultivators. They exchanged cups and cups and called each other fellow Daoists.
Some were drunk from spirit wine and kept shouting.
Some were eating heartily.
If it was not for the spiritual energy fluctuations on their bodies and the unique temperament of each person, some people might have thought that they were all ordinary people.
In the Imperial City, Immortal cultivators who were weak were indeed just like ordinary people.
They were not worth much.
“Little child, to your left, there are two tables.”
The timely reminder from Granny Qin made Qin Jiao turn her gaze to that side.
Soon after, she saw two people she did not know.
One looked like a very old woman, while the other looked very young.
They seemed to be of the same age.
“Only two?” Qin Jiao asked in a low voice.
“The other two are hiding in the dark. They should be in the dark, protecting that young Immortal cultivator. This means that this Immortal cultivator of the same age as you doesn’t have a simple identity.”
“Also… I can sense a dignified and righteous aura from her. That is an aura that can only be nurtured by the royal family of a Dynasty.”
Qin Jiao’s face was full of surprise when she heard the words of Granny Qin.
Royal family?
The royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty?
She had been thinking about how she could get close to the royal family of the Great Wei Dynasty.
Then, they came to find her?
Hmm…
Could it be that this person had the ability to read her mind and could read her thoughts from so far away?
Ridiculous guesses appeared in Qin Jiao’s mind.
Her face was full of suspicion.
Moreover… Qin Jiao realized that when the female Immortal cultivator of the same age as her saw her…
The expression on the other party’s face seemed to freeze in an instant.
It was as if she had seen a ghost.
This made Qin Jiao even more puzzled. She kept muttering in her heart, ‘There’s nothing wrong with my appearance, right?’
‘What’s with her expression?’
‘Strange…’
…
