Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 52: Visiting an Old Friend (Please Collect)

Upon hearing that the long-lost peak Foundation Building cultivator had appeared in Silver Maple City, Li Guanxuan was not as worried and afraid as before.

He had gradually understood many of the secrets of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree. As long as the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree hid in the dark space, no one could detect its presence.

Even the former Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master.

Even if they were face to face, the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master could not sense the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree.

So whether the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master wanted to return to Azure Serenity City was not important to Li Guanxuan.

After all, the most important thing was now inside his body.

Li Guanxuan looked at Qin Jiyue's worried expression and knew what she was thinking. He smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry. Think about it carefully. Although that thing is inside you, it is also not inside you. As long as you don't directly open and display it, no one can detect it."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiyue's eyes brightened.

She had been worried that the peak Foundation Building Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master would notice something, but after hearing these words, her suspended heart slowly relaxed.

But Qin Jiyue still worried, "Husband, do you think he will find any clues when he returns?"

Upon hearing this, Li Guanxuan paused.

The only way to find any clues would be through time regression...

He absolutely could not let the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master reach the Nascent Soul stage!

Li Guanxuan felt heavy-hearted. Once the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master reached the Nascent Soul stage and mastered a time regression spell, he might really be able to find something.

"He won't find anything unless he reaches the Nascent Soul stage and uses time regression," Li Guanxuan squinted.

"If he reaches Nascent Soul, I'll probably reach Nascent Soul too. At worst, I'll deal with him when I reach the Golden Core stage," Qin Jiyue's eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent.

The Velvet Flower was her secret to immortality.

Only Li Guanxuan and Wen Rongxin knew about this secret, but they were family, so it didn't matter.

Once the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master found out, it would definitely endanger his own life. He might even leak this information after losing hope of obtaining the treasure.

Therefore, the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master must die!

Li Guanxuan's thoughts were the same as Qin Jiyue's. Under no circumstances could they let the Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master reach the Nascent Soul stage.

Wen Rongxin silently listened on the side, remembering the name Mountain of Joyful Bliss Sect Master.

Even the gentlest woman would turn into an angry lioness when she realized that outsiders could affect or even destroy her family.

...

In the following days, Qin Jiyue focused on recovering while Wen Rongxin took care of her.

Li Guanxuan organized the Foundation Building materials brought back by Qin Jiyue and started refining some second-grade pills, hoping to advance to a second-grade alchemist as soon as possible.

However, many of the pills failed, causing Li Guanxuan to lose a lot of spiritual stones.

There was no way around it. Alchemists made money quickly but also burned through it quickly.

One day, an old friend came to visit.

When Wen Rongxin opened the door and saw Song Zhiqiao in a green dress, she was slightly stunned.

But out of politeness, she invited her into the house for a cup of hot tea.

"Where is Brother Li?"

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Wen Rongxin, Song Zhiqiao asked softly.

"My husband is in seclusion cultivating. Fellow Daoist Song, is there something I can pass on to him?"

Qin Jiyue also noticed this female cultivator from a scholarly family and worried that Wen Rongxin might not be a match for her. She immediately walked over, her eyes sharp as she stared at Song Zhiqiao.

"Qin, Qin sister, you, you don't still hate me, do you? I didn't mean it back then."

Song Zhiqiao said with some fear, her aggrieved eyes occasionally drifting towards Wen Rongxin.

Wen Rongxin could only pretend not to see.

Although she was basically in charge at home, she still needed Qin Jiyue, who had strong social skills, to handle things when facing outsiders.

"I don't hate you, how could I hate Fellow Daoist Song? After all, what happened back then was intentional on my part," Qin Jiyue smiled.

"You..." Song Zhiqiao immediately became angry.

At the farewell banquet of Zheng Huangjin, she didn't understand the intricacies of the situation at first, and only realized it after returning home.

Because Qin Jiyue was closest to her at the time, and her strength surpassed hers, she was the most likely person to take action.

Moreover, Qin Jiyue didn't seem like a weak woman at all. On the contrary, she was very tough.

So, the only explanation was that Qin Jiyue was pretending to be weak at the time, deliberately embarrassing her.

"Oh, the truth is revealed?" Qin Jiyue smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Song, we are all women, there's no need to pretend anymore. Besides, my husband is not an ordinary man. Your tactics won't work on him, and might even backfire."

She directly made it clear, so that Song Zhiqiao wouldn't keep pretending to be a weak woman.

Of course, Song Zhiqiao also knew how formidable Li Guanxuan was.

Otherwise, she would have been able to boss him around a long time ago.

Song Zhiqiao snorted and said, "I'm currently working under Manager Zheng. I came here this time to hand over some work matters and deliver a letter to Brother Li."

Since she had confessed, she might as well use a more intimate form of address.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiyue's foxy eyes narrowed even further, and her tone turned cold, "Do you believe that I will tear your mouth apart?"

Song Zhiqiao, feeling confident, said, "If I were to be injured here, Myriad Manifestations Pavilion wouldn't just stand by, and I don't think Sister Qin wants to strain the relationship between Brother Li and Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, right?"

Qin Jiyue immediately wanted to explode, but was held back by Wen Rongxin, who gestured for her not to make any other excessive moves.

Then, Wen Rongxin personally poured tea for Song Zhiqiao and said gently, "Fellow Daoist Song, my sister and I will relay your words to my husband. Thank you for making a special trip."

"Not at all, Sister Wen, you're the best!" Song Zhiqiao held Wen Rongxin's hand, her face full of smiles.

Wen Rongxin still had a kind smile on her face, without any signs of impatience or disgust.

Seeing that neither of the two women wanted to chat with her anymore, Song Zhiqiao knew that she couldn't stay here any longer.

Leaving a letter behind, Song Zhiqiao bid farewell and left.

After Song Zhiqiao left, Qin Jiyue angrily said, "I have never seen such shameless audacity!"

Calling someone else's husband "brother" in front of their wife, what woman could tolerate that?

Song Zhiqiao was clearly provoking them!

Wen Rongxin, on the other hand, remained calm and patted Qin Jiyue's hand, comforting her, "The Li family and the Song family have been friends for a thousand years. In a sense, Fellow Daoist Song can also be considered my husband's sister."

"Sister, why are you speaking up for an outsider?" Qin Jiyue was a little puzzled.

"Getting angry won't solve anything. That's what my husband taught me."

Wen Rongxin smiled softly, "On the contrary, sometimes the calmer you are, the more the person who is angry and furious becomes someone else."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiyue also felt that there was some truth to it, and gradually calmed down, dispelling the gloom and depression from earlier.

Then, Wen Rongxin placed the letter in the hands of the Explosive Boy and didn't disturb Li Guanxuan in the cultivation room.

A few days later, Li Guanxuan walked out of the cultivation room with a small bottle in his hand, his face beaming with a smile.

At the same time, he also noticed the letter in the Explosive Boy's hand, took it down and opened it, his face slowly showing a look of astonishment.
