Chapter 14 "Your facial features are my type" (4224 words)
  Jiang Qiaomu and Chen Yuan found a remote place to sit.

The seat is made of mahogany and has a cushion on it, making it very comfortable for people to sit.

"What to talk about?"

"About joining the club." Jiang Qiao spoke carefully. In the last round of death, Mu Chenyuan found out his black market itinerary. This round, Mu Chenyuan seems to be planning to use this to threaten him.

So it’s important to do some research.

"Junior Sister Mu, I have just had a general understanding of the atmosphere of the Treasure Society, and it is very different from what I imagined, so I don't plan to join the society."

"Ah? That's it..." Mu Chenyuan had already expected it, so he showed his trump card, "You went to the black market before, and I still have the fingerprints you pressed to buy the elixir here. You don't want the sect master to know that you violated the sect. Do you have to follow the rules to enter that forbidden place?"

This was what Jiang Qiao was waiting for. What would happen next would be even more interesting to talk about. He pretended to be shocked: "You actually know this? Are you going to use this to threaten me?"

"Yes, the sect has sent a team to the black market to catch illegal disciples. The Treasure Society has naturally included people in the team. It is not difficult to find you. It will not be difficult to slander you as a demon."

Mu Chenyuan told the truth in the first half of her sentence, but the second half of "slandering the Demon Sect" was purely a lie she had picked up. However, when she saw Jiang Qiao's reaction, it seemed that it was all right.

Jiang Qiao's original understanding of the Zhenbao Club was simply similar to club activities on modern campuses, but he did not expect that it was far from that simple.

There are intricate forces within the Treasure Society, and it would be easy to find out about an ordinary disciple like him.

"Then, let's talk about the black market. As you wish, I have now come to this treasure gathering, but I don't know the membership conditions and benefits. Will you keep secret about my going to the black market?"

"I will keep it secret. After all, one of the secret and recognized benefits of joining the Treasure Society is that you have the secret order of the black market and can travel unimpeded.

"Otherwise, do you think those greedy collectors will give up the opportunity to go to the black market to find treasures?"

Mu Chenyuan looked at Jiang Qiao with a playful expression.

"Then I understand, but what can I bring to you by joining the Treasure Society?"

"Why don't you take a guess first?"

Jiang Qiao also put his elbows on the wooden table and looked at Mu Chenyuan with his chin in his hands.

"You must have been the number six of the auction house at that time."

"I guessed it right. Fortunately, I found you in the sect, which saved me a lot of trouble. As for how I found you, I won't tell you."

"I only guessed your identity through your voice, and I'm not completely sure."

"Voice?"

"After all, I like your voice. I can remember it as soon as I hear it."

Jiang Qiao was telling the truth, and at the same time, almost no one could refuse praise. He needs to have a good relationship with Mu Chenyuan so that he can continue to gain lucky points.

"..." Mu Chenyuan didn't say anything, just looked at Jiang Qiao quietly.

"Furthermore, I am not interested in treasures. The only thing that can be regarded as a treasure is probably the Broken Red Sword. In the eyes of other people at the auction, the Broken Red Sword is very cheap, but you and I bid fiercely.

"But with all due respect, I still won't give up the Broken Red Sword."

"Then have you successfully contracted with the Broken Red Sword?" Mu Chenyuan asked Jiang Qiao, seeming to be sure of the answer.

Therefore, the person who did not answer became Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao didn't know much about the Broken Red Sword. He only knew the legend of the Broken Red Sword from the cutscenes in the game.

Recently, he also took the time to look through some documents, and none of the historical materials recorded the Broken Red Sword. At that time, he thought that maybe there was a problem with the direction of his original thinking.

"There is only one person who can make a contract with the Broken Red Sword, but that person is not you, but a friend of mine." Mu Chenyuan said briefly, "So, do you understand?
  Jiang Qiao nodded. It seemed that the swordsman who became famous with the Broken Red Sword before his previous deaths should be the friend Mu Chenyuan mentioned.

"If you insist on keeping it, it will be meaningless to you, so..."

Mu Chenyuan took out several bags of spirit stones from the storage ring, "I have collected 2000 spirit stones."

"Actually, I'm not very short of money." Jiang Qiao told the truth seriously.

"I know that the people of the Luo Yue Jiang Sect are most in need of money. However, you have no power, but we have a little bit. Although the power only covers the sect, we can still provide you with certain conveniences. "

Jiang Qiao smiled faintly, but he didn't expect that the other party had already discovered his identity to this extent, and even found out that he was the Luo Yue Jiang clan.

"Join the Treasure Club, join our organization, and you can get more first-hand information about treasures and artifacts. Wouldn't this help you better improve your abilities?"

Mu Chenyuan has a certain understanding of Jiang Qiao and knows that this person has become stronger as his only goal.

At this point, Jiang Qiao was actually moved. First of all, the scale and appeal of the Treasure Society were indeed good, and he was indeed in short supply of treasures and utensils.

It's one thing to cultivate your ability, and it's another thing to arm yourself with artifacts. Having both is the best choice.

Moreover, with the secret order of the black market, it will be much easier to go to the black market in the future.

"However, everything is going well for our treasure house, but it's a little bit unsustainable." Mu Chenyuan said.

"What's the downturn?"

Jiang Qiao held his chin until he felt cramped, but finally freed his hands.

"No money."

"???How is it possible that the Treasure Club, a place full of treasure collectors, would have no money?"

In Jiang Qiao's imagination, the words "Zhenbaohui" and "no money" should not coexist at the same time. The Zhenbaohui should be rich and powerful, and the interior of the boat was already splendid.

"Is there a possibility that Zhenbaohui was originally rich, but now he is heavily in debt. His current luxurious status is just an illusion. He can't even get out the spiritual stones for activities. The foreign debts he owes, well...

"I made all the delicious food for this gathering by myself. The president just called it saving money."

After Mu Chenyuan said this, his eyes became even darker.

"I understand..." Jiang Qiao took a sip of tea to ease the impact of the conversation he just had. "Then, can't we just sell the boat?"

Jiangqiao Xunsi Painting Boat is also a pretty good venue in Canglan Sect. Couldn't it be rented out to other organizations for gatherings?

"The president said that the boat cannot be sold. It is usually used to maintain face."

"...That's okay."

"Anyway, in view of this situation, we really need the help of the Luo Yue Jiang Sect. Your brother is very good at taking care of spiritual stones. The president wants to put some of the spiritual stones in the Luo Yue Jiang Sect to make money and make profits. "

"That's fine. I'm willing to join the association, but can you help me find out the details of three sect disciples?"

"Yes, members of the Treasure Society have penetrated into almost all departments within the sect, you name it."

"Li Wentian, Feng Cheng, Mu Qinggan."

"These three people? Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Also, since you know that I have an order for elixirs on the black market, could you please help me bring the elixirs back to the sect? I'm too lazy to go."

Jiang Qiao really couldn't trust Li Wentian now. If he went alone, relying only on his Qi training period, he would be in danger.

"Actually, I have brought the elixir for you, and it is in this box." Mu Chenyuan took out a box from the storage ring, "This is the ugly elixir you ordered. To be honest, I am the first to This is the first time I’ve seen someone order such a weird thing.”

Jiang Qiao couldn't hide his joy. From now on, he would never be controlled by Mu Qinggan again.

"The elixir won't be ready until tomorrow. How did you bring it here in advance?" Mu Chenyuan replied calmly: "Connections."

She paused, chuckled and replied: "In other words, you are about to take this ugly medicine? It seems that I will be the last person to see your normal appearance."

"The effect of this elixir will disappear. Before taking the new medicine, it will show its original appearance."

Jiang Qiao explained.

"I'm really looking forward to that. I want to catch you when the effect of the medicine wears off. After all, your facial features are my type."

Hearing this, Jiang Qiao suddenly got goosebumps all over his body. He thought he might have suffered from Mu Qinggan syndrome. Now when he heard comments about his appearance, his whole body felt like needles pricking him.

This may be Mu Chenyuan's counterattack to his statement "I like your voice." It's awkward, right?

Jiang Qiao drank the tea in one gulp, tapped the cup gently, and finally added, "There is some milk and sugar in this tea, right? Your craftsmanship is very good, and the sencha is cooked just right."

Mu Chenyuan didn't reply, stood up and left. The moment she stepped across the threshold, her feet gave way and she fell down again, facing the ground.

"Don't get excited." Jiang Qiao took another sip of tea calmly.

Mu Chenyuan shouted: "I don't have one!"

"There's no reason for shouting so loudly."

Jiang Qiao couldn't see Mu Chenyuan's face, but he thought Mu Chenyuan's expression must have been extremely interesting at that time.

The morning light is dim.

Jiang Qiao hadn't woken up like this naturally for a long time.

The whole person felt extremely comfortable and free. Before the roosters in the sect could crow, he woke up and practiced the Water Heart Art for a while.

Although he is no longer the direct disciple of the sect master, he naturally still remembers how to practice the Water Heart Art.

The early bird catches the worm. He has to practice hard recently to reach the foundation building stage as soon as possible.

Although he now has a way to deal with Mu Qinggan, he has no idea what the tricks of the other yandere heroines are.

In this case, it is very necessary to improve one's own strength.

The original owner's body was suffering from asthma. According to the experience of previous deaths, it would relapse after a while, which would then trigger a scene where the senior sister was looking for medicine for him.

Since Mu Qinggan is coming, it’s time to take medicine. The ugly elixir is not unpalatable. It is surprisingly chewy and as sweet as honey.

Jiang Qiao ate one and looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror. Well, he could barely recognize it was himself. Just a little bit of recognition is enough.

Although it was an ugly elixir, his face did not change so outrageously. It was just okay. At most, he had the appearance of an ordinary passerby.

Jiang Qiao made tea in the cave and waited slowly for Mu Qinggan to arrive.

In the previous rounds of plots, Mu Qinggan came to Jiang Qiao's cave at this time to deliver food to Jiang Qiao.

Whenever the citrus trees are harvested, Mu Qinggan will collect some orange peels and pulp to make orange cakes and distribute them to his disciples. The disciples unanimously praised the orange cake. They all said that the orange cake was glutinous and a little sweet and sour.

It’s just that Jiang Qiao has never eaten it.

"Junior brother, I'm here to bring you orange cake. Open the door."

Mu Qinggan stood outside the door, holding a food box.

"Here comes Senior Sister."

Jiang Qiao slowly opened the door, and what caught his eye was Mu Qinggan's squinted smile.

"Junior brother, I mixed a lot of sugar in your orange cake specially for you."

Mu Qinggan slowly opened her eyes, but the scene in front of her almost made her throw away her food box.

She held on to the wall, looked at the ground to relax, and then looked at Jiang Qiao again, her lips trembling.

"Excuse me, where is Junior Brother Jiang Qiaojiang..."

Mu Qinggan spoke carefully, feeling a little unsure. The disciple in front of him was somewhat similar to Jiang Qiao, and his body shape was similar, but it was definitely not the same.

"Senior sister, are you kidding me? We haven't seen each other for a day and you don't recognize me."

"? You mean..."

At that moment, Mu Qinggan felt that her whole world had collapsed, and she coughed several times.

Jiang Qiao guessed that if she hadn't been a golden elixir-level monk, she would have vomited her breakfast by now.

[System prompt: Mu Qinggan’s favorability -2]

After hearing the system prompt, Jiang Qiao was overjoyed, and firecrackers were crackling in his heart.

The favorability level can actually be reduced. This is another multiple insurance to avoid death!
  "Junior brother, why has your face changed so much? What are you..."

"? Senior sister, I obviously haven't changed at all." Jiang Qiao naturally couldn't explain that the effects of the medicine appeared after he took the elixir, which would make the other party aware of it.

"Junior brother, haven't you noticed? Go and look in the mirror."

Mu Qinggan was immediately flustered. How could a normal person suddenly change his appearance?

But now she really couldn't look directly at Jiang Qiao. When she saw him and thought that the person she liked had turned out like this, the more she thought about it, the more unworthy she felt.

[System prompt: Mu Qinggan’s favorability -2]

Jiang Qiao felt that she was now stable, Mu Qinggan's facial control characteristics had been suppressed, and she looked quite bad now.

But as the host, I still have to invite Mu Qinggan in for a cup of tea: "Senior sister, I made tea with orange peels. It tastes pretty good. Do you want to try it?"

"You really don't think your face..."

"I have seen it now, but so what." Jiang Qiao just smiled, with a calm look on his face.

Mu Qinggan was obviously anxious, "You should think about how you suddenly became like this. For example, there was a problem with your cultivation, so your appearance had a backlash, or..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Qiao gently interrupted her: "It doesn't matter. For me, practicing hard is the most important thing at the moment. As for the rest..."

"Junior brother!" Mu Qinggan suddenly spoke loudly, and Jiang Qiao was startled, "You may not care, but I really can't care less!!!"

Mu Qinggan slammed the door and walked out. Jiang Qiao was stunned for a while, then couldn't hide his smile, knocked on the table and laughed wildly.

After all, what Mu Qinggan cares about is not important to Jiang Qiao at all. Surviving the Demon Sect's master's escape is his ultimate goal.

But soon, Jiang Qiao laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe, his body twitched violently, and his asthma recurred. Fortunately, he was prepared for this.

He placed a pill specially designed to treat asthma on the table. Jiang Qiao rushed over and drank one, his expression immediately softened.

He couldn't help but laugh at himself. Mu Qinggan didn't want to stay with him for even a second as he became ugly. He could only say that this woman was too real.

Jiang Qiao had an optimistic prediction. Today, he would wake up from his dream with laughter.
