Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 233 Shangguan Qingying: Both of them can follow you
In the inner study.

Ling Changqing sat upright and was not in a hurry to speak.

He now has enough understanding of the Zhao family's situation, so the female head of the family's intention in inviting him over is nothing more than to continue persuading him to stay in the family.

On the way here, Zhao Wanqing hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but secretly tell Ling Changqing that the female head of the family was named Shangguan Qingying, and she was originally a senior sister of their father, the former head of the Zhao family.

But Shangguan Qingying is not the biological mother of Zhao Wanyi and her sisters. Their mother is Shangguan Qingying's junior sister.

Decades ago, in the war with the Qin family, the former head of the Zhao family and his wife were both seriously injured and died. Before their death, they entrusted their family and their two daughters to Shangguan Qingying.

Therefore, Shangguan Qingying actually did not have a Taoist partner. She was only married to the previous head of the family in name and then helped him manage the Zhao family's business.

As long as one of Zhao Wanyi's sisters can break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in the future, she can hand over the power and get rid of this burden.

From the perspective of the female head of the family Shangguan Qingying, being able to keep Ling Changqing is the most ideal outcome. Not only can it ensure that the Zhao family's foundation is as solid as a rock, but it may also allow them to defeat the Qin family and take back everything they have lost.

But unfortunately, this point is non-negotiable. It is one thing for Ling Changqing to simply help, but it is another thing to sell himself to work for the Zhao family.

"...Fellow Daoist Ling,"

After a moment of silence, Shangguan Qingying finally said slowly, "The family's current situation is not optimistic. We urgently need your joining us. Fellow Daoist, are you really unwilling to reconsider?"

Ling Changqing smiled and said: "I have my own family, and the family leaders treat me well, so I have no reason to betray them.

Besides, if I choose to abandon my original family just for the benefit you give me, wouldn't that make me no different from that shameless traitor? Will you still dare to use me in the future?"

"..."

The Zhao Wanyi sisters looked at each other silently, and in their hearts they couldn't help but look up to Ling Changqing.

It is true that a villain who is fickle and profit-driven cannot be trusted by a smart superior. There is nothing wrong with Ling Changqing's point of view.

Shangguan Qingying was silent for a long while before she sighed softly, "Forget it, what Fellow Daoist Ling said makes sense, let's just pretend I never said anything about this.

However, the family now needs more third-level medicinal resources, so I will have to trouble you again for this matter."

"That's no problem. Since I've agreed to long-term cooperation with the Zhao family, I will definitely fulfill my promise in the future, and I will no longer have any dealings with the Qin family."

Ling Changqing said seriously that he didn't like the Qin family's despicable and shameless character at all, and there would most likely be a day when they would go to war in the future.

"In that case,"

Shangguan Qingying nodded and said, "Then it's settled! Hey! Actually, do you know...

If you agree to stay in the family, the two girls can follow you in the future."

When Zhao Wanyi and her sister heard this, their fair and pretty faces instantly turned red. They were so embarrassed that they wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Even though their mother had discussed this with them beforehand, they did not object to this for the sake of the family.

But even when it was said in front of Ling Changqing, they still felt shy.

"It's a pity, but my mind won't change."

Ling Changqing smiled slightly and said that this pair of twin sisters were indeed one in a million gifted girls from heaven, and it would be nonsense for him to say that he was not moved.

But Ling Changqing would absolutely not agree to leave the Ling family and Ling Qiyue and the other girls just like that.

Of course, if you, the head of the family, are included, maybe... I would reconsider it?
But Ling Changqing didn't dare to say this, otherwise she would teach him a lesson right then and there. He couldn't stand up to an angry Yuanying Zhenjun right now.

However, he is indeed looking forward to the moment when Shangguan Qingying takes off her mask in front of him in the future. He believes that her beauty, temperament and demeanor will not be inferior to those of Zhao Wanyi and her sister, right?

After flirting for a while, Ling Changqing said goodbye and Zhao Wanqing saw him out.

The beautiful lady walked in front with her head lowered and without saying a word, leading Ling Changqing through the palaces, courtyards and corridors and heading outside.

She didn't say anything, and Ling Changqing had no intention of speaking.

It was not until they arrived at the white jade square outside the protective formation and Ling Changqing summoned the top-grade magical ship Tianzhou and was about to set off that Zhao Wanqing stopped him.

"Fellow Daoist Ling..."

She hesitated for a long time before she asked softly, "When will you come next time?"

Ling Changqing said gently: "After one month, I will never break my promise."

"That's good."

Zhao Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She was indeed a little worried that Ling Changqing would not show up again. Although they had not been together for a long time, she did not reject the idea of ​​getting in touch with him.

As long as we can meet each other often in the future, then... there will always be a chance, right?
Ling Changqing jumped onto the Tianzhou ship and waved at her. The dark and slender ship then rose slowly and flew towards the sky.

Zhao Wanqing stood where she was, watching the Tianzhou ship gradually speed up and disappear at the end of her sight before she looked away.

In the inner study, Zhao Wanyi was still talking to Shangguan Qingying.

"...This opportunity is rare. It depends on whether you can seize it."

The female head of the family said in a low voice. She now had a vague guess that Ling Changqing had great luck, otherwise there would not be such significant changes in the two sisters.

Zhao Wanyi said helplessly, "But he doesn't seem to think highly of us. Do we need to shamelessly approach him? Wouldn't that be a bit too cheap?"

After all, they are both the legitimate daughters of a Nascent Soul family, and they are gifted with extraordinary talents. At a young age, they have reached the peak of Golden Core True Person cultivation, and there is a great possibility that they will break through to the Nascent Soul True Lord realm in the future.

With such outstanding conditions, if she were to marry into an alliance with those Nascent Soul forces, she would definitely be the future mistress of the family and would never suffer any grievances.

In fact, more than one Yuanying force has sent people to propose marriage to the head of the family. The conditions they offered are very generous, and they are even willing to help them resist the pressure from the Qin family.

However, Shangguan Qingying did not think that such a promise was meaningful. If the time really came, if the Zhao family could not hold on, none of the so-called allied forces would be reliable.

It's good enough that they can remain neutral and not add insult to injury.

If the Zhao family wants to preserve the family business, it must be strong enough.

Shangguan Qingying said: "If he is important enough, it doesn't matter if you take the initiative. Compared with your own great cause, what does the so-called face and reserve mean?"

Zhao Wanyi thought about it and said reluctantly, "Since my mother has said so, let's give it a try. I hope he can really..."

……

The Tianzhou tower ship sped all the way until it left the core territory of the Zhao family. After confirming that there were no spies secretly following them around, Ling Changqing put away the Tianzhou tower ship and activated the Bi'an Wujian Gate.

A ball of highly condensed golden Buddha light enveloped him and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he appeared again, he was already in the heart of Changqing Island, with no one around him.

This trip yielded a lot, but the only regret was that we were not able to capture all the robbery gangs in the Zhao family's territory, otherwise we would have gotten more spoils.

Of course, it would be the same if we waited until the next time we passed by to find an opportunity to take action. Those guys wouldn't run away anyway.

Tang Qiuyao, Xue Qingtan and Luo Qingxuan, who were hiding in the paradise of Jiyuan Star Palace, were released, and the four of them returned to the family headquarters together.

Ling Qiyue was handling official business in her boudoir's embroidery building. She was naturally overjoyed to learn that Ling Changqing had returned, and immediately called all the girls over.

After the meeting, the girls surrounded him and naturally started to complain. They always felt like something was missing when this guy was not around for a day.

"...Husband, can I give you a leg massage?"

Mu Yuxin, with her rosy face and beautiful face, spoke in a low voice. She shrunk her curvaceous body under the table, lowered her head with her long black hair, and began to massage his legs carefully.

Ling Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he let out a comfortable breath, and gently stroked Mu Yuxin's face with his hands.

Over time, all the girls became familiar with his preferences, so whenever they had the chance they would take turns massaging his legs. This would allow them to gain spiritual inspiration and improve their own cultivation.

"My husband, did you encounter any danger during this long journey away from your family?"

Qin Yun, who was gentle, quiet, and charming like a fox, asked softly.

Ling Changqing said gently: "It's okay, everything went well, and we got back resources worth thousands of high-quality spirit stones, which can meet the family's needs for at least a few years!"

Tang Qiuyao beside him said with a smile: "And he hooked up with a pair of twin sisters. When he left, they couldn't forget him, even the female head of the family!"

"..." Ling Changqing was quite speechless, and whispered: "Madam, please don't slander me, okay? I don't have any thoughts about them at all."

Tang Qiuyao snorted: "You don't have any ideas, but you can't stop others from having ideas about you? I don't believe that if one day they take off their clothes and seduce you, you won't be tempted.

And that female head of the family, I guess you don't intend to let her go, right? Sooner or later, you will pile her up with you and let her sleep with you..."

Ling Changqing's face changed slightly: "You are getting more and more ridiculous. When did I ever have such thoughts?"

"My husband didn't tell the truth?"

Under the table, Mu Yuxin took a moment to raise her head and said with a seductive look.

Just now, she was most aware of Ling Changqing's subtle reaction, which made her heart palpitate and she almost couldn't breathe.

"That's right? My husband, you really have bad intentions and you are not honest!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Qiyue and the other girls all covered their mouths and laughed softly. They knew Ling Changqing's character too well.

"Forget it, whatever you say!"

Ling Changqing rubbed his face. His image in their hearts was completely ruined.

"What's going on over there, husband, can you tell us?"

Ling Qiyue asked softly.

Ling Changqing nodded and recounted the grievances and hatreds between the Qin and Zhao families, as well as his own considerations and choices.

"I see,"

Ling Qiyue pondered and said, "It seems that helping the Zhao family is in our long-term interests. Having such a strategic ally in the heart of Yuzhou Continent may be of great use in the future, right?"

"Well, I think so too."

Ling Changqing agreed.

Anyway, the two families are too far apart, and there is no possibility of conflict of interest in the next few hundred years, so there is no need to worry about anything.

"Okay, let's leave it at that,"

Ling Qiyue's expression became more serious: "Recently, there have been some suspicious foreign cultivators in the territory. They seem to be looking for something."

Meng Feiyu added: "Moreover, Xianyin Pavilion, the three super chambers of commerce, the Yu family, the Deep Sea Dragon Clan, etc. have all sent cultivators here. Although their levels are not high, this is probably not a good sign."

Ling Changqing couldn't help but frowned: "Is it because of what happened last time?"

Yu Ruoshuang, who is beautiful, gentle, and intellectual, said, "This is probably the reason. The value of the Beyonder Wujian Sect is insignificant. How could those big forces be willing to give it up?"

Any force that possesses the Other Shore Wujian Gate can quickly mobilize forces across the continent, which has irreplaceable strategic significance for expanding territory.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever obtains this ancient artifact will have the hope of unifying the entire Qingyao Continent and achieving unprecedented hegemony.

More importantly, Liuying Ziying and Qin Mengxuan had already seen Ling Changqing's appearance, so they couldn't help but suspect that this son of destiny was also hiding here. Naturally, they would track him down at all costs.

"In that case, I'd better not stay at home recently. It's safest to hide in the heart of Yuzhou."

Ling Changqing said.

Although the Epoch Star Palace helps to shield the fate, those big forces have deep foundations, and it is not uncommon for them to use some incredible means, so they may be exposed at any time.

Only if I am not in the Feiyu Sea at all, those big forces will not be able to discover anything.

Ling Qiyue rolled her eyes at him and said coquettishly, "That being said, you still need to practice dual cultivation with the sisters for a while first. Everyone is waiting to improve their cultivation!"

"this is necessary."

Ling Changqing nodded. After being away from home for so long, he really missed the girls.

So, Ling Qiyue, Qin Yun, Yu Ruoshuang, Ling Yuzhu, Ling Yulu and other girls surrounded Ling Changqing and entered the inner room of the boudoir, while Yu Yalan and her sister, Liu Xiuyan, Mu Yuxin, Meng Feiyu and other girls took turns outside.

In case something unexpected happens outside, the family must always leave a few elders with enough weight to take charge of things, and they cannot all go into seclusion to practice.

In the inner room of the boudoir, Ling Qiyue was the first to loosen the hidden buckle of the jade belt around her waist. As her gorgeous skirt slid down layer by layer, her snow-white and dazzling beautiful body was revealed.

The other girls followed suit and took off their clothes one after another. In an instant, Ling Changqing's eyes were filled with the fragrance, tenderness and beauty of the girls. The beautiful scenery made him stare at it intently and his blood boil.

"Bad guy, come on!"

Ling Qiyue's enchanting, snake-like arms gently embraced him, her lustrous and charming voice was soft, and her beautiful, star-like eyes were filled with seductiveness and inextricable tenderness.

Ling Changqing hugged the plump and graceful body tightly, the fire in his body burning fiercely. The girls surrounded him with sweet smiles, making him completely lost in the depths of this gentle land.

……

Morai Sea.

"…It should, maybe, be in this sea area, right?"

Above the clouds, on the front deck of a magnificent Tianzhou ship, Liuying Mengluan was looking at the purple-gold star plate in her hand, muttering softly.

"This sea area is so vast, what you said is as good as nothing!"

Beside him, Liuying Bingchan said with an unhappy look on his face.

Liuying Mengluan sighed and said helplessly: "There is no other way. No one has any good means now. We can only narrow the search range little by little like this. I hope we can find something, right?"

The female cultivators of the Liuying family were speechless. They had been out for so long, wandering between islands big and small every day, and had almost searched all the territories of those small forces, but without any gains.

Of course, the same goes for other forces. All parties have dispatched countless people, but so far all their efforts have been in vain.

A graceful female cultivator with moon-shaped eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes frowned and said, "I feel that if we keep searching like this, we won't find anything in the end!"

She is one of the new generation of saints in Luhua Palace, named Xue Qingfeng. She is dressed in bright red palace gown, her hair is like clouds, her jade-like face is fair and graceful, and she has just entered the realm of Yuanying Zhenjun.

Now the top leaders of the two families have formed a deep alliance, so the female practitioners from both sides also act together when they go out.

Once something is discovered, given the powerful strength of these two forces, it would be quite easy to protect the son of destiny from being snatched away by outsiders.

Liuying Mengluan said: "I think he is indeed hiding in the coastal area of ​​Yuzhou Continent. As long as we are patient enough, one day..."

She still didn't believe that Ling Changqing had run off to other big states. This guy's cultivation was limited, so he could only continue to stay in Yuzhou, and in the outer sea area where small forces were numerous.

From a logical analysis, this possibility is actually the greatest. Although she had not spent a long time with Ling Changqing at the beginning, Liuying Mengluan felt that her judgment was correct.

"By the way, we have seen many female cultivators from other forces these days, but we haven't seen the two girls from the Yu family, and the Dragon Princess Luo Qingxuan. Where are they?"

Liuying Bingchan suddenly had an idea and asked out of the blue.

"Ok?"

Liuying Mengluan was slightly startled, and answered subconsciously: "I heard that they are still in seclusion. It has been several years, and they have never come out..."

There are secret spies from the Yu family hidden within those two forces, so it is not difficult to find out some information.

Liuying Bingchan sneered and said, "It's already this time, and they still want to retreat? Are they trying to do something shameful?"

Xue Qingfeng looked at her in surprise and asked, "Sister Bingchan, did you notice anything?"

She had never had contact with Ling Changqing before, and was not familiar with those female cultivators, so she didn't understand the situation.

Liuying Bingchan gritted his teeth and said, "I am 70% to 80% sure that they are not in seclusion at all, but have quietly gone out to look for Ling Changqing!"

"……you sure?"

Liuying Mengluan frowned and nodded, "This possibility is entirely possible. They must have discovered some valuable clues by doing this.

But they don’t want us to know, so they hide and eat alone? This is outrageous! "

Xue Qingfeng's expression became serious, and he asked in a deep voice: "What should we do now? Should we try to find them first?"
