Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

Let the evil magic of Lord Dili Shiva disappear in the East Desert Mountain, thus eradicating the disaster of blood rain.

Ying Zheng and Fusu still don't know why Yang Ling wants to dig a passage between Xianyang City and Donghuang Mountain, but they didn't ask much. Since the master has given the order, they just need to do it.

It was rare for Yang Ling to take the initiative to help, so Ying Zheng and Fusu would naturally not stay and annoy Yang Ling without knowing what was good for them.

When leaving Yangling Villa, Ying Zheng stopped at the door, causing Xu Fu and Fusu who were following behind him to be stunned for a moment and look up subconsciously.

"Who is that girl standing next to the tall man?"

Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Xu Fu and asked tentatively.

"Master's new maid, she is gifted in alchemy and is currently studying the art of alchemy with Master!"

Xu Fu didn't think much about it. Since Ying Zheng asked, he told him the answer directly.

"Just a maid?"

Ying Zheng pursued relentlessly, seemingly wanting to dig out more information.

His actions made Xu Fu slightly unhappy, his face darkened, and he replied coldly: "Your Majesty, Master is devoted to the Tao, and has no distracting thoughts!"

Xu Fu's words made Ying Zheng realize that his words might have been misunderstood, but he did not explain. His inherent arrogance made him feel that as Xu Fu's monarch, he did not need to explain anything to Xu Fu.

So, Ying Zheng didn't say much and took Fusu away.

From the moment he left the house, Fusu was surprised by Ying Zheng's words and actions.

The father he knew was not someone who liked to pry into other people's privacy, nor was he someone who was keen on watching the fun.

Therefore, Fusu had always found it difficult to understand what was said in front of Yang Ling's door.

He did not ask immediately, but waited until she was far away before speaking to Ying Zheng: "Father, is there anything special about that girl? Why are you so concerned about her?"

Ying Zheng stopped and looked at Fusu. He said seriously, "Send someone to check the background of Miss Rong'er and see what connection she has with the Duanmu family!"

"Duanmu family? Father, are you referring to the Duanmu family that is proficient in mechanical engineering?"

Hearing Ying Zheng's order, Fusu widened his eyes and asked in disbelief.

Ying Zheng said nothing, but nodded solemnly.

There is only one Duanmu family in the world. They were already famous when Ying Zheng was young, and their mechanical skills are unmatched.

"I'll check it out right away!"

After Fusu paid his respects to Ying Zheng, he left in a hurry.

Ying Zheng's carriage slowly disappeared at the end of the long street. Xu Fu watched everyone on the Black Ice Platform evacuate, then he returned to Yang Ling with a heart full of resentment.

"What happened?"

Yang Ling looked up at Xu Fu and asked curiously.

Xu Fu was full of resentment and attracted a lot of attention. When Yang Ling spoke, Rong'er and Xiang Yu also looked over.

"I'm sorry, Master. I'm fine!"

After hearing Yang Ling's question, Xu Fu realized that he had brought the dissatisfaction at the door in, and quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body to adjust his mood.

Yang Ling's spiritual sense enveloped the entire mansion. He heard clearly the conversation between Ying Zheng and Xu Fu at the door. He also naturally understood why Xu Fu was angry.

He asked just now just to see whether Xu Fu would take the initiative to say that the test results made him neither completely satisfied nor dissatisfied, but at least Xu Fu was not at fault.

Yang Ling ignored Xu Fu and looked up at Rong'er who had returned to her chair. He asked, "Rong'er, have you not told us your last name yet?"

Hearing Yang Ling's question, Rong'er paused while pouring tea, a trace of panic flashed across her eyes, but it was gone in an instant. When she raised her eyes again, they were already filled with a gentle smile, "Rong'er has no father or mother, and grew up in the mountains since she was young. Her name was given by an elder in the village, and she has no surname!"

Others might not have noticed Rong'er's panic at that moment, and even if they did, it would be difficult to confirm. But Yang Ling saw it clearly, and he was sure that Rong'er was hiding something.

However, no matter why Rong'er didn't want to reveal her origins, Yang Ling didn't care. If she could concentrate on her cultivation, he wouldn't mind giving Rong'er a good future; if not, her fate would be in her own hands.

"I didn't expect Miss Rong'er to have such a rough life!"

Xu Fu felt pity after hearing this, and thinking of what Ying Zheng said at the gate of the house, he felt even more sympathetic towards Rong'er, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Rong'er, if you don't mind, you can join my Xu family tree and become my adopted sister!"

Rong'er has been taken in by Yang Ling, and Yang Ling will definitely teach her the way of cultivation, so they can be considered as fellow disciples. Xu Fu entered the sect earlier and may become Yang Ling's true disciple, so he naturally wants to establish a good relationship with his future junior sister in advance.

Yang Ling glanced at Xu Fu, seeming a little surprised, but didn't say much. The story between Rong Er and Xu Fu was their own business.

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Xu Fu, but Rong'er is already yours, so if I want a surname, it will be yours. I appreciate Lord Xu's kindness!"

Rong'er looked up at Xu Fu with a cold look in her eyes and a very indifferent tone.

Rong'er is a powerful warrior at the sixth level of the human realm, and Xu Fu is only at the fourth level now. Naturally, she would not be willing to be inferior to Xu Fu.

If Yang Ling had not taken Rong'er in, Xu Fu might have agreed to this in order to stay with Yang Ling. But now Rong'er has been taken in, and has more opportunities to interact with Yang Ling than Xu Fu, so she naturally looks down on Xu Fu's kindness.

Yang Ling had expected this result. Rong'er looked gentle, but she was just as arrogant as Ying Zheng and others. She would not be willing to be a sister to someone who was not as good as herself.

After being rejected, Xu Fu realized how presumptuous his words were, and quickly stood aside and stopped talking.

"Rong'er, take Xiang Yu to settle down. He has been staying at my place recently. I will still need your help in three days!"

Yang Ling stood up, patted Xiang Yu on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yes, son!"

Hearing Yang Ling's instructions, Rong'er replied respectfully.

"Thank you, Master!"

Xiang Yu could feel that Yang Ling had been paying attention to him. Originally, Xiang Yu just came to thank them and didn't dare to think that he would have the opportunity to stay. Even if Yang Ling spoke, Xiang Yu was still worried that his strength was far behind theirs and whether he would become a burden. However, Yang Ling did not give Xiang Yu the opportunity to feel inferior. He always took him with him when talking, and even when doing other things, he would specifically ask Rong'er to take him to settle down.

Yang Ling's ability to win people's hearts is far stronger than he imagined.

Because of this, the sons of destiny who gathered around him unconsciously were all trying to get a chance to stay with Yang Ling. But Yang Ling was not aware of this.

At the gate of the house, Yang Ling and Xu Fu were standing where Ying Zheng and Fusu had stood before.

"Master, do you mean that there is something wrong with Miss Rong'er's background?"

Xu Fu hadn't fully understood yet, and couldn't help but say, "No wonder the First Emperor asked such a question just now..."

He only now realized that Ying Zheng's question was not directed at Yang Ling, but he realized it at the wrong time.

Yang Ling raised his hand and knocked on Xu Fu's head in silence, and said calmly: "Her identity and origins are none of your business, and I won't pry into them. What you need to do is to stop Ying Zheng and Fu Su's forces from investigating her!"

No matter who Rong'er was before, or what her relationship was with the famous Duanmu family, it was none of their business. Now that Rong'er stayed with them wholeheartedly, they naturally had to protect Rong'er's safety.

"Master, disciple understands!"

Xu Fu bowed deeply to Yang Ling, said goodbye and left.

Yang Ling stood at the door and waited until Xu Fu's figure completely disappeared from his sight before he was ready to go back.

Rong'er had already settled Xiang Yu. Although Rong'er was also new to Yang Ling's villa, as Yang Ling's personal maid, she was taken by the person in charge of the villa to learn about the arrangements.

Rong'er was very intelligent. She could read ten lines at a glance while practicing cultivation. Remembering these trivial matters was naturally a piece of cake for her, and she was able to arrange things for Xiang Yu very smoothly.

After the person in charge of the mansion took Rong'er for a walk, he felt that his role was about to disappear. It would not be long before there was no place for them in this mansion.

Yang Ling began to retreat after returning. He brought back so many spiritual herbs, so naturally he wanted to use them all for the right path. He had originally collected them to restore the power of the Moon Jade, so he naturally would not delay this matter.

After learning that Yang Ling was in seclusion, Rong'er decorated his room to be airtight, surrounding it with three layers of barbed fences inside and outside, not allowing anyone to approach and disturb him.

After Yang Ling's retreat, a major operation began in Xianyang City. Almost everyone, whether they were practitioners in the Qin Palace, Qin soldiers, or ordinary young and middle-aged men in Xianyang City, were called up to dig roads.

Many people in Xianyang City were preparing to leave. Fusu and others also knew about this, but they had neither the time nor the desire to care about it now.

Yang Ling's order was to dig a tunnel between Xianyang City and Donghuang Mountain within three days.

If it cannot be completed within the specified time, I am afraid it will rain blood again.

By then, more people will leave Xianyang City, and they will have no reason to stop them.

Compared to stopping those who left Xianyang City now, Fusu still believed that Yang Ling could completely solve the problem of Blood Rain. So he didn't plan to care about those people at all.

While Fusu led the men of Xianyang City to dig the canal, he did not forget the task assigned to him by Ying Zheng. The people who investigated Rong'er's life experience had already been sent out.

On the southern border, the Duanmu family quickly infiltrated the King of Qin's troops. At the same time, Xu Fu also arrived quietly. He changed his appearance so that no one could recognize him. He hid his strength so that no one could see his depth.

The Duanmu family's power in southern Xinjiang was at its peak, almost comparable to that of a small dynasty, but throughout the ages they had never been involved in rebellion, so the Qin kings were always confident in them.

Ying Zheng also believed in them completely, but the appearance of Rong'er made Ying Zheng wary of the people around Yang Ling.

Ordinary people may not know that Yang Ling is the pillar behind the Qin Dynasty, but the existence of the Duanmu family must have seen through the secrets. Knowing this, they still let the daughter of the family get close to Yang Ling, which made Ying Zheng suspicious.

Rong'er's portrait is widely circulated in southern Xinjiang, and recently it seems that many people are looking for her whereabouts. However, the Duanmu family has always been secretive, so ordinary people on the street naturally have no way of knowing.

Xu Fu sat at a roadside tea stall, sipping tea leisurely, watching coldly those who were asking around for news about Rong'er, and could not help but smile contemptuously.

However, this chuckle attracted the attention of nearby spies, who quickly gathered and approached Xu Fu.

"What are you laughing at?" The leader sat down opposite Xu Fu, spread Rong'er's portrait on the tea table, and asked, "Have you seen this person?"

"Never seen it before." Xu Fu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and answered calmly.

Xu Fu's cold attitude and previous contemptuous smile were undoubtedly a sign of contempt for them in the eyes of those people. In anger, the leader overturned the tea table in front of Xu Fu.

"I've never seen you laugh before. Why are you so funny? I'm going to arrest you right now for disrupting public service!" the leader shouted angrily, and then called on his companions to attack Xu Fu.

The mockery in Xu Fu's eyes became even more intense. The people drinking tea and the tea stall owners around him had already noticed that the atmosphere was not right and moved away. In this way, innocent people would not be hurt when the action was taken.

Thinking of this, Xu Fu did not want to say any more with these ignorant people. The teacup in his hand suddenly flew out and hit the leader on the forehead. Blood oozed out, which was shocking.

The leader felt dizzy and his forehead was hot. He raised his hand to touch it and found it was covered in blood. He stared with wide eyes in shock, but collapsed without saying a word.

Although Xu Fu did not use his full strength, he was very strong. With the cultivation of the fourth level of the human realm, he could kill these people with a single blow. Now that the leader was only unconscious, Xu Fu was showing mercy.

"Boss, what's wrong with you? Wake up..."

"Do you know who we are? How dare you hurt others?"

"Everyone, come together and arrest him and bring him to justice. It is simply lawless to commit a crime in the street..."

These spies were as stupid as their leader. Any smart person would have realized that Xu Fu could knock someone out with just one cup of tea, and dealing with them was child's play. They even wanted to arrest Xu Fu and bring him to justice.

Xu Fu was too lazy to get entangled with them. His mission was to stop these people from investigating Rong'er's life experience. Now the mission had been basically completed, and he only needed to lead these people out of the city.

Fusu gave them limited time, and they had to return to report in the near future, regardless of whether they found any clues. Xu Fulai had previously informed the Duanmu family that once these people were led out of the city, the Duanmu family would seal the city gates and prevent them from entering again in a short period of time.

In this way, these people could not enter the city in a short time and could only go back to report to Fusu. During their reporting period, Xu Fu could also return to report to Yang Ling.

In fact, Yang Ling only asked Xu Fu to stop these people from investigating Rong Er, but did not ask him to stop the investigation. Xu Fu's move was also to return to Yang Ling as soon as possible.

Whether he wanted to follow Yang Ling to take care of him or to get closer to Yang Ling to get more guidance, Xu Fu's goal was to follow Yang Ling. After only two days of leaving, Xu Fu felt unwell.

Yang Ling possessed the sound of the Great Dao, and Xu Fu had become accustomed to practicing beside him, so it was difficult for him to leave in a short period of time. This was also one of the main reasons why Xu Fu was eager to go back.

The Duanmu family had been secretly monitoring the spies. After Xu Fu fought with them, he led them out of the city, and the Duanmu family closed the city gates. (End of this chapter)
