Eyeballs certainly won't answer questions, so we can only hope they won't be tricked into revealing information.
Upon hearing this, Bai Qian glanced at her eyes, and the fire in the furnace dissipated.
The sect leader already knows about you. His eyes regained movement, and he remained calm.
[There's no need for the Pavilion Master to deal with you; you might not be able to handle Qinglang's side right now.]
Pei Huan, who had been serving food to Bai Qian and had filled half a plate, stopped eating without saying a word when he heard this.
"The situation with the Qinglang Gang is indeed a bit troublesome, but it's not a big problem for us and can be easily resolved," she said calmly.
"If it's just about strengthening the monsters, it's not a big problem."
Although the eyes didn't change much when they heard Pei Huan's words, it was clear that they were somewhat disdainful.
[The demon-summoning formation on Qinglang's side is far stronger than you imagine; it's been improved upon by the Imperial Advisor.]
"What changes? Probably nothing will be of any use," Pei Huan said casually.
[Ignorant! The formation improved by the Imperial Advisor is almost twice as powerful as the previous one. It can not only increase demonic energy, but also...] It paused, perhaps realizing something, and then stopped speaking.
After that, no matter how Pei Huan and Ling Xi tried to get information out of it, it wouldn't speak again.
He probably realized that arguing with the three of them about this matter was pointless.
Finally, it did mention its name, Zhu Liang, and that it was the demon lord of the Hundred Demon Pavilion. Bai Qian remembered it and planned to find it when she went to Liangdu.
Watching the skeleton pierce her eyeball and then shatter it completely, Bai Qian finally looked away and continued eating.
Lingxi, who was standing next to him, was clearly distracted and thinking about other things.
After a moment of silence, looking at Bai Qian and Pei Huan, she spoke.
"The River God probably can't control the Green Wave Gang anymore."
"If it really activates that formation..."
Bai Qian paused slightly with her chopsticks and glanced at Ling Xi.
"It's alright," she replied softly.
"Kill one if it appears." He said it calmly, sending a chill down one's spine.

I'm a bit too tired to stay awake any longer, so I'm going to sleep now QAQ. I think I'll open a bounty at the beginning of the month, but I'll check the details when I wake up tomorrow. I'll post the sixth update tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 163, Master Qian Doesn't Want Himself Anymore
As dusk faded into the horizon, only a pale, cold moon quietly rose.
Bai Qian poked Pei Huan, who was lying next to her, with her finger.
It looks like he's passed out, or rather, drunk?
Bai Qian picked up the cup in front of her and glanced at it. It should contain fruit wine. She had already drunk two bottles and didn't feel anything. This person, on the other hand, got drunk after just two cups.
Judging from this, her alcohol tolerance seems rather poor, or rather, worrying.
Seeing that both Lingxi and I had drunk some, I couldn't help but drink some too.
Bai Qian felt it was just like drinking plain water; apart from being a little sweet, she didn't have any other sensations.
Lingxi's situation was similar; she drank less than Bai Qian, but it didn't seem to have any effect.
He poked Pei Huan, whose beautiful face was slightly flushed, with his finger again, and the man unconsciously opened his mouth and bit his finger.
He took his fingers out and wiped his hands with her clothes.
"Let's send her back first." Bai Qian glanced at the mountain of dishes piled on the table.
She ate more than half her fill. Ever since she transmigrated to this world, her appetite has been increasing, and this is just the beginning.
Upon hearing this, Lingxi was about to stand up when she saw the surrounding water vapor being manipulated lightly. It turned into mist and threads, swirling around Pei Huan and then easily lifting her up.
Pei Huan glanced at it cautiously.
"Downstairs, there are some ordinary people, so it might not be suitable."
The next second, Pei Huan's body seemed to be controlled, and she stood up, but she still kept her head down, with her hair covering half of her face, making it impossible to see her appearance clearly.
In other words, his walking posture was too stiff, like a zombie.
But compared to the way it floated directly in the air just now, at least it's not too... scary?
"I'll take her back first."
"Ah."
Lingxi glanced at Pei Huan with a strange expression, then tilted her head without offering any comment.
"Regarding the formation, it's uncertain whether the Qinglang Gang will proceed. You can keep that jade token for now; it might come in handy. After all, I don't have much else to give you. Even the River God is so poor he can see his reflection in a mirror."
"What you just said makes a lot of sense, but if you really encounter something difficult to deal with, please don't hesitate to give me any instructions."
Bai Qian simply nodded slightly, bought four skewers of grilled tofu from a nearby stall, and handed one skewer to Lingxi.
"How much longer can you hold out here?" he suddenly asked.
Lingxi, who had just received the grilled tofu, was taken aback by what she heard.
"What?" She didn't quite understand what Bai Qian meant.
But the avoidance in his eyes was quite obvious.
Bai Qian glanced at her gently, but didn't expose her intention.
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." After saying this, Lingxi left in a flustered manner, passing through the bustling crowd on the street and disappearing into the orange lights.

"Our young lady is..." The old woman in the pleated skirt looked at Pei Huan behind Bai Qian, hesitant to speak.
Bai Qian turned her head and poked the face of the person next to her with her finger. Although the person was standing by the water vapor, he was still talking in his sleep.
"Master Qian... darling..." It sounded like a whisper, too faint for even mosquitoes and flies to hear.
This person is saying something strange.
She pushed Pei Huan, who was standing next to her, forward and handed her to her mother-in-law.
"Here, here you go."
The mother-in-law took her somewhat embarrassing young lady from her family, and upon seeing Bai Qian, she turned to leave.
"Miss, please don't leave yet, my master is looking for you," the old woman said hurriedly after taking Pei Huan from her.
Bai Qian paused slightly in her steps.
Following the servants of the Pei family through the garden, the Pei family's garden was much larger than the Hu family's. It seems that people in Changhe County like to build gardens and such, perhaps it is a custom of the whole region.
Following the servant through the garden, we arrived at a room that resembled a study. The antique sandalwood decorated the entire study in a rather elegant manner, and an elderly man dressed in silk sat inside.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Pei Xun, and I am the head of this family," the old man said, stroking his snow-white beard.
"Bai Qian".
"Young friend Bai Qian, I'll be frank with you. The reason I called you here is because of Huanzi. I've watched her grow up since she was a child. She always seems to smile at everyone, but I've never seen her look up to anyone."
“This is the first time I’ve seen her care about someone. But as you know, the Lotus Cult is not easy to mess with.” Pei Xun paused for a moment.
"In just the last two days, the Chamber of Commerce's business has been significantly affected."
Bai Qian tilted her head upon hearing this.
"That's how it is. I know that girl cares a lot about you, and I'm quite happy about that."
“But the Lotus Sect is really not easy to deal with. I told this girl before that she should handle things herself, but it is really difficult for her.”
"I can try to handle the matter of the Lotus Life Sect, but it will take some time. In other words, I would like to ask you to reduce your contact with this girl for the time being," the old man said with a light cough.
“I will find a scapegoat, but during this time, I would like to ask you to have as little contact with this girl as possible, and if possible, it is best to go out less often, so as not to let the Lotus Life Sect find out anything.”
Bai Qian sat on a sandalwood chair, which was a bit high so her feet couldn't touch the ground. She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from the table and stuffed it into her mouth.
Neither agree nor refuse.
The old man was telling the truth; he spoke plainly and openly, without any secrets.
Pei Xun wasn't worried when Bai Qian didn't react; instead, he clapped his hands.
Hearing the noise, the waiter outside carried over a tray covered with a cloth.
"Here are five hundred taels of silver. You can take them first. In addition, there are these two books, both of which are martial arts manuals at the Meridian Opening stage," Pei Xun said.
“She started searching for these things as soon as she got back. She had no interest in martial arts before, so I guess she prepared them for you. I just helped her find them here. If that's not enough, there will be more later.”
Bai Qian picked up the two books placed on top of the pile of silver. One was called "[Piercing Arrow]", and the other was called "[Hidden Strength Seed]".
"One book is about archery. As for the bow, I can send it to you tomorrow. As for the other book, it's an incomplete martial arts manual. I heard it's an incomplete version of the Divine Intent Martial Arts, but I don't know the specifics. You can try practicing it yourself," Pei Xun explained.
"If you're not satisfied..."
"No problem." Bai Qian shook her head and put the two books away.
"As long as you're satisfied,"
"Should I talk to Huanzi about it tomorrow?" Pei Xun was still a little worried and continued.
He was also worried that Bai Qian might misunderstand something. He had no hostility towards Bai Qian. These plans were all for the sake of the family. After all, the family still had to do business, and the matter with the Lotus Sect should be resolved as soon as possible.
The Lotus Life Sect is also quite short of money, so cutting off some flesh can solve the problem, but the premise is that the attitude must be right.
Bai Qian didn't really have any objections, she just blinked slightly.
"Let's leave it at that for now." Bai Qian's focus is not on the Lotus Birth Sect right now, and besides, the Lotus Birth Sect is not in Changcheng Prefecture, but is scattered in various places in Changhe County, so it is not easy to find.
We'll consider the Lotus Life Sect issue after we deal with the Green Wave Gang.
After all, there's not much of a shortage of strange lifespans these days, so the Lotus Life Sect is naturally not as important as the Green Wave Gang.
In addition, she would also receive two martial arts manuals, so she could accept it.
To be honest, the only one who was injured...
It's like someone wakes up one day and finds that their beloved Qian Ye doesn't want them anymore?
Even though it's just for show, people might actually take it seriously.
I can talk to her about it tomorrow. There's no need to worry too much about the Lotus Cult. Just do things the same way as before. If the Lotus Cult really causes trouble, we can handle it ourselves.
If they need to be killed, then kill them. There's nothing to worry about.

Thank you so much for your support (bowing deeply). I feel your enthusiasm. I will try my best to update from now on QAQ. I'm not sure if the content of the updates will meet everyone's expectations. If you have any questions, you can communicate with me in the group.
Love you all!
Volume 1: Chapter 164, The Demon Seed (Second Update)
The pitch-black street was shrouded in shadow, and the sound of flesh being devoured seemed to come from the darkness.
In the shadows was a monster resembling a hyena, its entire body covered in bright red muscle fibers, as if its skin had been peeled off.
It was bending down and eating something, the sound of it gnawing echoing in the darkness.
The girl in the white dress walked over, stepping into the shadows.
The hyena seemed to realize what was happening, raising its head from the mangled corpse beneath it. Its fierce gaze had barely lifted when it looked at the girl in the dim moonlight, and it had only just caught sight of the white shoes adorned with a few drops of blood.
The next second, the hammer slammed down.
The solid hammer struck the maned dog's head in an instant, the splash of blood startling the air, and cracks appeared on the bluestone slab like a spider web, with blood seeping into these cracks.
The head was nowhere to be found, and it couldn't even be called a pancake anymore. At most, it was just a lump of minced meat. Half of the body was smashed into a paste-like, sticky substance, and the bones were nowhere to be seen.
Bai Qian counted on her fingers.
This should be the sixth one. Changcheng Prefecture was not as peaceful as Baifeng City at night. After the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), all kinds of demons roamed the streets, giving Bai Qian the feeling of a buffet.
It was thanks to the curfew that not many people in Changcheng Prefecture died. Without the curfew, who knows how many people would have died.
