Longevity starts with dual cultivation

Chapter 248 Ling Changqing: If the enemy goes, I can go too
Qin family territory.

In the hall of the family headquarters, the current head of the family, Qin Zhongqi, leaned back on a jade chair, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water was about to drip out.

"…So, the plan failed?"

He asked darkly, his anger barely concealed in his tone.

Elder Qin Wuyan carefully considered his words: "It was the news from Patriarch Wuyang that the operation was going smoothly and was about to be completed, but Shangguan Qingying suddenly showed up, so..."

Since this matter concerned his own reputation, Master Wuyang naturally could not explain it in too much detail. He only mentioned that the operation failed due to Shangguan Qingying's intervention.

Anyway, he was the only one who escaped alive from the scene, and it was impossible for the Qin family to learn the details of the operation for the time being, so he could fool around however he wanted.

"What a bastard! That old guy Zhou Qi is also a waste. He said that the Heavenly Secret Shielding method could deceive Shangguan Qingying, but he never thought it would be useless..."

Qin Zhongqi slapped the armrest of the chair angrily and cursed angrily.

This True Lord Wuyang is an extremely vicious and evil cultivator who does everything but good things in his life.

This time, Qin Zhongqi spent a huge price to invite this old guy to come out of retirement and let him take his group of men to assassinate the Zhao sisters and see if he could also deal with Elder Zhao Qinghong.

To this end, Qin Zhongqi also invited Zhou Qi, a Yuanying Zhenjun who was proficient in the art of divination, to help block the secrets in an attempt to hide it from Shangguan Qingying.

However, this seemingly foolproof plan, which came at such a high cost, ultimately failed.

Qin Wuyan hesitated and said, "Master, Zhou Qi usually has a good reputation. As long as he receives benefits, he will definitely do the job. Why did something go wrong this time?"

Zhao Hua, who was sitting next to him, whispered, "It is said that Shangguan Qingying also knows a little about the art of divination. Could it be that she noticed something was wrong, so she..."

When he defected, he had mentioned this information to Qin Zhongqi, but the head of the family did not take it seriously.

Now it seems that perhaps this is the only credible explanation?

Qin Zhongqi took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked helplessly, "How is Master Wuyang's injury?"

"I don't know."

Qin Wuyan shook his head: "It is said that he has gone into seclusion to recuperate, and he wants us to pay the balance as soon as possible!"

This was a condition agreed upon by both parties in advance. Regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, as long as Master Wuyang took action, the Qin family had to pay the full amount of remuneration.

As for shirking one's debt? It seems that it is not so easy for an old killer to shirk his debt.

Considering the cruel and ruthless nature of Master Wuyang who does all kinds of evil, Qin Zhongqi might not dare to do so.

As for Zhou Qi, he had already received the payment before taking action, so no matter what happens next, he will not have any responsibility.

Qin Zhongqi, with an unpleasant expression, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded with gritted teeth: "Give it to him? Humph! Just think of it as sending away a dog!
In addition, inform the entire family to step up vigilance to prevent possible retaliation from the Zhao family!"

The Qin family had shed a lot of blood this time, but the matter was not accomplished. The Zhao family might not swallow their anger, so Qin Zhongqi did not dare to take it lightly.

He now only hopes that the Zhao family will continue to adhere to the previous strategy of keeping a low profile and choose to tolerate the Qin family's provocative behavior.

At least judging from the number of Jindan and foundation-building cultivators, the Qin family still has a considerable advantage.

If the two sides really want to start a war in advance, even if Yuanying Zhenjun does not take action, the Qin family's advantage is unquestionable.

……

In the Zhao family's territory, Shangguan Qingying's inner study.

Ling Changqing sat behind a jade table, with various spirit wines and snacks in front of him, and was enjoying the food comfortably.

Sister Zhao Wanyi sat beside him, one on each side, and fed him snowballs with their own hands.

Well, snow seeds are a kind of spiritual fruit that is a specialty of the world of immortal cultivation. The best ones are as white as snow, have a sweet and tender taste, and are large and round in size.

Moreover, this kind of spiritual fruit has always been cultivated by female cultivators, and male cultivators cannot do it. And Ling Changqing's biggest hobby is this, and he must enjoy it every day without skipping a meal.

Ever since Shangguan Qingying knew Ling Changqing's habits, she asked the Zhao Wanyi sisters to make arrangements for him, making sure he was satisfied and happy.

"...That Wuyang Zhenjun is not a good person. After suffering such a great loss this time, I'm afraid he will find an opportunity to retaliate in the future."

Shangguan Qingying, whose skirt was as white as snow and who was elegant and charming, spoke in a low voice.

There were no outsiders around at this time, so she no longer wore the bronze mask. Her stunningly beautiful face turned slightly rosy, and her bright eyes sparkled.

Ling Changqing said: "It is possible, but his injuries are quite serious and it will take at least 20 to 30 years for him to recover, so we don't need to worry too much."

Moreover, Gong Ling has already memorized that guy's breath. In the future, Ling Changqing can find an opportunity to find his hiding place and quietly deal with him and his disciples.

Shangguan Qingying nodded and said, "As long as you are here, I believe that guy can no longer pose a threat."

Zhao Wanyi had mentioned to her before that Ling Changqing was proficient in the art of divination, but she didn't quite believe it at first.

But now it seems that Ling Changqing's words were not exaggerated at all.

If he hadn't been there, the Qin family's conspiracy would have succeeded, and the Zhao family's current situation could be imagined. I'm afraid the Qin family would have attacked them long ago. Moreover, Ling Changqing actually had a fourth-level Taoist puppet by his side, and more than one, which showed that his family was very powerful.

At least, with the identities of Zhao Wanyi and her sister, they do not have a Taoist soldier puppet of this level on them now.

"Changxing, do you really have no thoughts about these two girls? They treat you very..."

After hesitating for a moment, Shangguan Qingying couldn't help but ask.

"Mother, why are you bringing this up again..."

Sister Zhao Wanyi blushed immediately and said in a low voice.

Although the sisters' affection for Ling Changqing had skyrocketed after the assassination, they were still embarrassed when their mother said it to their faces.

Ling Changqing said sternly: "The head of the family now knows that I have my own family, so it is impossible for me to marry into the Zhao family. I can only feel ashamed of your kindness."

Shangguan Qingying said: "If that's the case, there's no need to mention marrying into the Zhao family. You can just practice dual cultivation with the two of them. The offspring you give birth to in the future will belong to the Zhao family. What do you think?"

What she meant was that Ling Changqing and Zhao Wanyi should maintain a secret relationship as Taoist companions and interact with each other privately in the future.

On the surface, Ling Changqing is still a guest of the family, free to come and go as he pleases. The Zhao Wanyi sisters will inherit the power of the Zhao family's patriarch in the future and will never marry out.

"If they are willing to accept it, I have no objection."

Ling Changqing pondered and said that as long as he was not restricted to being a son-in-law of the Zhao family, everything would be easy.

Sister Zhao Wanyi turned her head away with red faces, not daring to look him in the eye.

Shangguan Qingying breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "That's great. You go to the Dan Palace and wait. I'll have a private conversation with them."

Ling Changqing nodded, stood up and left the inner study.

At this time, the Dan Palace was guarded by the family's secret guards and was under strict security. However, Ling Changqing had the token given by Shangguan Qingying in his hand, so he had a smooth journey.

Entering the Alchemy Hall, Ling Changqing silently activated the formation restriction, prepared the medicinal herbs and materials, and planned to first refine a furnace of third-level Tianhua Longevity Pills.

With his current level, everything is easy for him and he won’t make any mistakes even with his eyes closed.

After a moment, the twin sisters, wearing cool and gorgeous dresses, walked in with rosy faces, their beautiful eyes sparkling.

The neckline of the skirt was a little low, revealing the bright red tube top, majestic snow-capped peaks and the bottomless central ravine. The outline of the round and slender long legs was faintly visible under the skirt.

The two sisters sat down beside Ling Changqing silently without saying a word.

Now that they have reached an agreement, from now on, they are Ling Changqing's Taoist partners.

The change in their relationship made the two sisters not know how to start the conversation. Or rather, they had not yet adapted to their new identities.

"Regarding the future, what plans does the Patriarch have?"

Ling Changqing took the initiative to speak, breaking the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Zhao Wanyi blinked her sparkling eyes and asked softly, "Husband... are you talking about how to deal with the Qin family in the future?"

She has now changed her name, and although it is a little awkward, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

"That's right. The Qin family keeps provoking us like this. We have to teach them a lesson and make them behave themselves!"

Ling Changqing said.

Zhao Wanqing pondered and said, "Mother is also very angry, but the family is not strong enough now, and I am afraid there is no suitable solution. I wonder if you, my husband, have any more feasible ideas?"

Although the Qin family's assassination attempt failed, it also resulted in the death of a group of Jindan and foundation-building cultivators from the Zhao family, which was a considerable loss.

The Qin family must have stepped up their guard by now and would never allow the Zhao family a chance to retaliate.

Ling Changqing smiled and said, "In a conventional war, the family really can't do anything to them, but it doesn't matter. I will go to their territory in a few days and teach them a lesson they will never forget."

"Husband, do you want to go alone...isn't that a bit too risky?"

Zhao Wanyi looked slightly startled and objected subconsciously.

"Don't worry, you have all seen my husband's strength. There is no way they can catch me."

Ling Changqing said that with the protection of his divine ability, even if the two Yuanying Zhenjuns of the Qin family came out, they would not be able to stop him.

At that time, he could completely adopt guerrilla tactics, and escape at high speed after a successful strike, just like when he dealt with those forces in the Chixue Sea.

Of course, even if he encountered Yuanying Zhenjun head-on, Ling Changqing would not be afraid of him with a fourth-level Taoist soldier puppet by his side.

"In that case, my husband, please take us with you when the time comes. Our skills can still be of help."

Zhao Wanyi said that since they were already a Taoist couple, there was no reason for Ling Changqing to take risks while they sat back and reaped the benefits.
