Xuanxia

Chapter 630: A strong start, then a weak one...

Shirakawa Masamune's questioning is very realistic.

Fu Qingzhou felt very strange at this moment. He felt like there was a breath stuck in his chest, and he couldn't exhale it or suppress it.

He had come all the way from Ding'an City with a youthful spirit, intending to truly "let go of the youthful spirit of an old man".

But on the way up the mountain, the entire Ziqi Xianfeng Temple was making way for him, making him feel like he had punched cotton...The "Qiu Chan" he met turned out to be Bai He Zhenren in disguise. She didn't talk about feelings but about interests, which made Fu Qingzhou have no place to vent his rage.

He had a vague feeling that there was a conspiracy here, but there was no other way at the moment. He could only take a deep breath, pull over a chair and sit down, and start thinking seriously.

"Shirakawa-senpai."

He asked, "Could you please tell me first what you want?"

"How can I say that?" Baihe Zhenren smiled and said, "You are the one who wants to give me something that satisfies me. If I say it first, won't it seem that you are not sincere?"

Fu Qingzhou chuckled.

"In that case, let me tell you."

He said calmly: "Senior Baihe must be very concerned about the competition for the leader of the Xuan League... Of course, I can't directly guarantee that Ziqi Xianfeng Temple will take the position, but I can help you fight for this position."

"I guess given your relationship with Empress Zifei, you must have heard about... the matter of the Mingli Division?"

Baihe Zhenren's eyes lit up slightly: "Go on."

"Ming Lisi was my idea, and the entire structure was also built by me."

Fu Qingzhou said in a deep voice: "I can't guarantee that the emperor will let me lead the Mingli Division, but I think that with my current status as a special envoy and the status of the founder, I should still be able to have a say... What do you think, senior?"

"Of course." Baihe Zhenren continued to smile: "What does this have to do with my Ziqi Xianfeng Temple?"

"The Minglisi is a completely independent organization."

Fu Qingzhou folded his hands on his knees, stepped forward and leaned forward, and said slowly: "This department has little power, but it has the ability to help the people resist evil officials. When necessary, it can directly advise the emperor. It is also under the jurisdiction of Mingjian Pavilion. It can be imagined that the people in this department... will be the people that the corrupt officials in the local area are extremely afraid of in the future."

"The most important thing is to understand the people of the world."

He smiled and said, "Although the imperial court prefers to accept independent cultivators, it has never said that people from large sects are not allowed to join the Mingli Division. If Ziqi Xianfeng Temple takes the lead and joins the Mingli Division, then your influence will be far more than just in the martial arts world."

"When the Xuan League chooses a leader, it doesn't just want a leader with a very high level of cultivation. The most important thing is that this leader must be able to resist and settle things, and can lead everyone to a better life... If your clan can have a say among the officials in the court, and even have a heavy voice, wouldn't it be the best leader?"

"Isn't this...better than marrying into a small family?"

Listening to him talking, Master Baihe's eyes became brighter and brighter.

She smiled, very happily.

"Not bad, really good."

She clapped her hands together and exclaimed, "It's been a long time since anyone could move my heart with just a few words."

Fu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Then may I ask, Senior, if I may..."

"No."

Baihe Zhenren stopped clapping his hands, and held his cheek with one of his slender white jade hands, saying with a half-smile: "You promised me so many benefits, and I gave my disciple to you. What would I become? A human trafficker who sells his disciple and daughter?"

Fu Qingzhou almost rolled his eyes to the sky.

You are not a human trafficker, why are you forcing Qiu Chan to marry someone else?!
But what to say?

If he hadn't met Master Baihe and had just snatched Qiuchan and ran away...that would have been fine.

Now that you have met Master Baihe, he is clearly ready to negotiate terms. Can you refuse?

So, he just suppressed the annoyance in his heart and asked calmly: "So, may I ask, Senior, what else do you need me to do?"

"It's not that I need you to do anything, but I want to tell you something you don't understand."

Baihe Zhenren played with his long hair lazily: "You and Qiuchan have known each other for less than a year. Do you know who she knew and what she did in the past?"

Fu Qingzhou was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"hehe."

Baihe Zhenren smiled slightly and said, "Then do you know that she and Lan Jingsong have known each other for many years and are very good friends?"

Before Fu Qingzhou could speak, she continued, "Lan Jingsong is not only a disciple of an aristocratic family, he is also the direct disciple of the owner of Qianfang Baixiao Tower. Your good friend, Prince Zhao, didn't tell you this, right?" "My Ziqi Xianfeng Temple and Qianfang Baixiao Tower don't have a very good relationship, but we have cooperated for many years. Over the years, the person in charge of this matter is Lan Jingsong, and the person in charge of connecting with him in my temple is Qiu Chan."

"This time I promised her to Lan Jingsong. Although she was depressed, she didn't resist..."

When Fu Qingzhou heard this, his eyebrows jumped.

But before he could say anything, a familiar voice suddenly came from the room!

"Don't listen to Master's nonsense, you pervert! I didn't do that!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked, and Master Baihe was also shocked.

They both looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the bed in the room was shaking... The bed board was jumping up and down, and it seemed that someone was about to crash out from under the bed.

"Qiu Chan!"

Fu Qingzhou was shocked. He stood up suddenly and rushed towards the bed.

However, Master Baihe's expression became somewhat complicated and helpless, but he did not move and still sat there.

On the other side, Fu Qingzhou had already lifted up the bed board very quickly.

There was a bed compartment under the bed board. When the board was lifted, Qiu Chan could be seen thrown inside with her hands and feet tied behind her back. There were faint spiritual fluctuations on the ropes that tied her, which clearly showed that she was not an ordinary person.

Her hair and clothes were covered in sweat, and there were some white fragments lying beside her face, which seemed to be something like a jade talisman.

"Get me...out of here!"

Seeing Fu Qingzhou, Qiu Chan gritted her teeth and said, "My master is not here! What you saw was her projection! You need to leave quickly... She deceived me too!"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and turned his head to see that Master Baihe was still sitting there, motionless, but his eyes had become somewhat dangerous.

"You are worthy of being my good disciple..."

She said softly, "You can even break free from the Heart Sealing Talisman?"

Qiu Chan ignored her, raised her head and quickly glanced at Fu Qingzhou, but then lowered her head again without saying a word.

Fu Qingzhou roughly understood what was going on. He drew the sword from his waist and gently stroked the rope that bound Qiu Chan. The rope immediately broke into pieces.

She had obviously been tied up for a long time. As a practitioner, her hands and feet were numb. With the help of Fu Qingzhou, she crawled out with somewhat stiff movements.

"Chan'er."

Sitting still, Master Baihe said slowly, "Why don't you understand my teacher's painstaking efforts? I kept you here to test this man's mind for you, so that you can understand it clearly."

"Humph!"

Qiu Chan was not polite to her master. She leaned on Fu Qingzhou and raised her nose at Baihe Zhenren: "He is going to make an enemy of the entire Ziqi Xianfeng Temple for my sake. Isn't that enough?"

"Master, don't look so confident. If you really had a plan, you wouldn't be unable to make it back in time... Hehe, I am also capable as a disciple!"

"Now, all you can do is trap me and prevent the people in the temple from stopping him. You even pretend to be me and chat about nonsense..."

She snorted, "Aren't you just trying to disperse his aggressiveness and prevent him from doing something wrong? Humph... Master, you get scared sometimes too!"

Fu Qingzhou's expression became a little strange...Are you afraid of me?

A person in the fifth realm of the cave, are you afraid of me?

Also, what does it mean? Is it related to Qiu Chan that Baihe Zhenren couldn't come back? What did she do secretly?
Master Baihe shook his head and said calmly, "You have grown up and have your own ideas. Master won't say anything - but if you want to run, you'd better run fast. When I come back, you won't be so comfortable."

Qiu Chan ignored what Master Baihe said.

She just glanced at Fu Qingzhou quickly again and lowered her head.

She, who was cursing at her master just now, could not utter a word now and just buried her head deeply.

"What are you thinking about?" Fu Qingzhou asked with a grin.

Qiu Chan snorted and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I just have one question." Fu Qingzhou hugged her tightly and asked softly, "Chan'er, are you willing to go with me?"
