Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 43 Heart-to-Heart Conversation (Seeking to Continue Reading)

When a glass of wine was spilled on her, Qin Jiyue's expression froze, and then she tearfully said, "Song, Song Fellow Daoist, how did it come to this? I sincerely came to apologize to you."

"I, I, I... I didn't mean to, I really didn't mean to, Qin Jiejie, please believe me..."

Song Zhiqiao immediately panicked and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Qin Jiyue's clothes, looking like he was about to cry.

Li Guanxuan had been observing Qin Jiyue all along, worried that she would go too far with this, which would be difficult to explain to Zheng Huangjin.

But when he saw Qin Jiyue using a method to make Song Zhiqiao spill the wine on herself, Li Guanxuan couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that Qin Jiyue was being too ruthless...

"What's going on?"

Zheng Huangjin noticed the commotion and quickly walked over to check.

When he noticed the wine on Qin Jiyue's clothes, he frowned and looked at Song Zhiqiao.

"I..."

Song Zhiqiao was about to explain, but Qin Jiyue preemptively spoke, sobbing, "It's all my fault. I came to apologize to Song Fellow Daoist, but Song Fellow Daoist didn't accept it and poured wine on me. I deserve it."

"No, it's not like that..."

Song Zhiqiao was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.

The guests turned their gazes towards them, causing the musicians and dancers to stop and become unsure of what to do.

At this moment, Li Guanxuan stood up and mediated, smiling, "It's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... Let's not disturb everyone's enjoyment because of this small matter. Come, let the music continue, let the dance continue."

Zheng Huangjin couldn't help but feel emotional, Li Guanxuan really knew how to consider the overall situation.

"Since it's just a misunderstanding, please continue drinking and enjoying yourselves."

Zheng Huangjin raised his cup and drank heavily, then signaled to the musicians and dancers.

Soon, the music started again, and the graceful dancers danced, making the entire reception hall seem like a fairyland.

Qin Jiyue knew that she couldn't cause any more trouble, so she obediently returned to her seat.

Song Zhiqiao explained pitifully, "Brother Li... Young Master, I really didn't mean it."

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly with a faint smile, not saying anything.

...

After the banquet ended, everyone was drunk, either being taken care of by their fellow cultivators or personally escorted back by the housekeeper.

Li Guanxuan continued to drink with Zheng Huangjin.

When everyone had left and only the four of them remained in the hall, Zheng Huangjin still held a cup of wine with a drunken expression.

"Drink, drink... drink!"

Li Guanxuan rolled his eyes, stretched lazily, his face showing signs of intoxication, but his eyes were unusually clear, and he smiled, "Alright, alright, stop drinking, everyone has left."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Huangjin also sobered up from his drunken state, couldn't help but grin, "You, you... you're still so shrewd."

Wen Rongxin looked astonished. These two people who were the first to get drunk had suddenly become so clear-headed?

This was spiritual wine, and it was difficult for the intoxication to dissipate.

Qin Jiyue, on the other hand, remained calm. From the beginning, Li Guanxuan had secretly replaced the spiritual wine with water for her.

"My home is in the outer city, and I still have a long way to go when I leave later, so I can't afford to be drunk."

Li Guanxuan smiled, "Alright, there are no outsiders here, so if the old brother wants to say something, go ahead."

Zheng Huangjin nodded and picked up the glass of water in his wine cup, took a sip, rinsed his mouth, and then said:

"I will be leaving Azure Serenity City next month. By then, Myriad Manifestations Pavilion's industries in Azure Serenity City will also gradually move away. It would be best for you to leave Azure Serenity City within a year, otherwise, you won't even have time to leave."

Li Guanxuan narrowed his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

Qin Jiyue couldn't help but look at Zheng Huangjin. From this scene, it seemed that the person who had been giving information to her husband all along was this Myriad Manifestations Pavilion's shopkeeper.

"The demon race is advancing south, and the situation in the north is becoming critical. The higher-ups have chosen to abandon the industries in Azure Serenity City and evacuate everyone in the vicinity before making further plans."

When Zheng Huangjin said this, he sealed off the surrounding space, even lowering his voice to an extremely low volume, his expression extremely serious.

Li Guanxuan's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you saying that the entire northern region of Xianxu might fall?"

"I'm not sure, but the flames of war will definitely reach Azure Serenity City. After all, Azure Serenity City is the gateway to Tianya City in the north," Zheng Huangjin said.

Having seen the map, Li Guanxuan understood that beyond Tianya City in the north was the Beijulu Continent, which was the territory of the demon race.

Li Guanxuan fell into contemplation and after a moment, he said, "To be honest, I have already made a plan to leave."

"Where are you planning to go?"

"Shanggu City."

"In the northeast of Xianxu, this city borders the borders of the three major immortal dynasties, Daheng, Dazhou, and Daxuan. It's indeed a good place to settle down..." Zheng Huangjin recalled the information about Shanggu City in his mind and said, "But Azure Serenity City is too far from there, and there are no teleportation arrays. It would take about three to four months to travel by flying ship... Isn't it too dangerous?"

"That's why I want to ask Brother Zheng for help, to see if there's any solution," Li Guanxuan said with a smile.

"Willing but unable," Zheng Huangjin sighed.

He didn't have any solutions either.

Li Guanxuan nodded slightly to show his understanding.

It was already quite good that Zheng Huangjin could tell him this news in advance.

However, after Zheng Huangjin left Azure Serenity City, the war in the north would probably reach Azure Serenity City as well. At that time, everyone would be in danger, and everyone would start finding ways to escape and find the next place to settle down.

So, he also needed to stock up on resources and be prepared to leave at any time.

Plans couldn't keep up with changes. He originally thought he would leave at the end of the year or early next year, but now that this happened, he would probably have to leave within half a year.

"You, you're just too cautious, unwilling to make friends, unwilling to communicate with fellow cultivators... But you have to understand that cultivation emphasizes the law of wealth and companionship. Only by discussing and exchanging cultivation matters with fellow cultivators can you gain insights and inspiration. Isolating yourself will only lead you into a dead end," Zheng Huangjin spoke slowly, and Li Guanxuan listened patiently without interrupting.

If someone is willing to speak these sincere words to you, it means that they truly care about you.

"Brother, I will always remember these words in my heart," Li Guanxuan said earnestly.

He had known Zheng Huangjin for seven years, and during this time, the other party had helped him a lot.

Zheng Huangjin nodded with a satisfied expression, then smiled and said, "Also, that girl from the Song family, you shouldn't trouble her anymore during this time. After all, I accepted her father's spirit stones. I can't just ignore her."

Hearing this, Qin Jiyue pursed her lips. It seemed that this Foundation Building cultivator had seen everything, he just didn't say anything before.

"Don't worry, we will stay at home during this time and stock up on supplies," Li Guanxuan said with a smile. "But I still hope Brother can help me secure a good-quality flying ship, the price should be around ten thousand spirit stones."

"I'll try to get you a second-grade flying ship," Zheng Huangjin nodded slightly.

Li Guanxuan expressed his gratitude, feeling grateful in his heart.

After leaving Zheng Mansion, Li Guanxuan looked at the starry night sky, filled with mixed emotions.

He didn't expect that just when he finally met a good elder brother, it was time to part ways.

This time, he was leaving Azure Serenity City, where he had lived for nearly thirty years.
