Fairies Are Fierce

Chapter 217 I have resisted beating since I was a child

The hotel room is very simple, with nothing else except daily necessities.

After Zuo Lingquan closed the door, he rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and asked:

"Toffee Princess? I think this girl is not a foreign monk. Have you found the wrong person?"

Jiang Yi's response came to mind:

"The concubine has just left, she should be here soon."

"Um?"

Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment, came to the window, looked at the street scene and the sky, trying to find the whereabouts of Grandma Toffee.

But with Shangguan Lingye's cultivation level, his whereabouts would not be seen by Zuo Lingquan. Within a moment, the door behind him was pushed open.

Squeak~

Zuo Lingquan turned around and saw a wealthy lady who had put on a light green spring shirt and walked into the room. With a slight lift of her finger, the door closed on its own.

In broad daylight, Shangguan Lingye was naturally not wearing fox tail or ears, but his spring shirt was very decent, and it outlined his figure very gracefully, with bulging skirt and graceful hip line...

As soon as Zuo Lingquan glanced at it, he secretly thought something was wrong. Before his daughters-in-law could react, he abruptly looked away, looking straight and innocent, and bowed his hands:

"Toffee Queen."

Shangguan Lingye closed the door, walked gracefully to the chair and sat down. He also lifted his skirt and struck a very elegant pose.

Seeing that Zuo Lingquan was unmoved, Shangguan Lingye nodded slightly:

"It seems that this thing is more useful than the Grotto-Heaven experience. This is the calmness that a peak swordsman should have."

Zuo Lingquan wanted to die. He controlled his eyes not to look at anything good. He sat down on the chair and said with a smile:

"Thank you, ma'am. This thing is really powerful, but when it's not in use, can you..."

When the formation is not in use, it can naturally be turned off, but Shangguan Lingye didn't want to tell Zuo Lingquan the method. She said calmly:

"What? Are you uncomfortable being stared at by Jiang Yi and the others?"

"How could it be? They all do it for my own good and stay on the boat day and night to make suggestions. I was moved before it was too late. But when they were in the room, there was nothing to pay attention to..."

"Then just close your eyes and meditate."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan had nothing to say and nodded slightly.

Shangguan Lingye snorted softly, his eyes not very friendly, and asked:

"Why did you call me grandma just now?"

Zuo Lingquan just communicated with his heart, but the words came out as soon as he thought. It was indeed a slip of the tongue. He explained:

"Your Majesty is indeed the elder in terms of seniority. I didn't mean to say that your Majesty is old, I just respect you from the bottom of my heart... Let's talk about business. I don't think that girl is an assassin. What do you think?"

Shangguan Lingye was very dissatisfied with the title grandma. He might as well call her baby.

But Jiang Yi and the others could see it, so Shangguan Lingye stopped pursuing it and got down to business.

Shangguan Lingye had been observing for a long time just now and felt that Xie Qiutao didn't look like an assassin, but after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head slightly:

"The Youying alien race knows how tight the defenses of the Nine Sects are. It is impossible to tell at a glance. This woman came from overseas with an unknown identity. The first thing she did when entering the country was to buy your portrait. It feels very suspicious."

Zuo Lingquan picked up the scroll, unfolded it, glanced at it, and sighed softly:

"The killer used this portrait to kill people. I feel that the danger of shocking my brother is much greater than mine."

"It doesn't matter what the portrait looks like. I just went to the calligraphy and painting shop and took a look. There are countless nine sects of fame hanging in it. There are probably portraits of Master and me. She bought your portrait separately."

"Could it be because I have been in the limelight recently and have the biggest reputation?"

"It's possible. But there's also something wrong with this woman's appearance. The skin on her hands is slightly different from that on her face. It should be hiding her appearance."

Zuo Lingquan just saw the small freckles on Xie Qiutao's face. It was a pity that he didn't notice anything strange. However, Shangguan Lingye's eyesight must be better than his. He thought about it:

"It's not strange for women to cover their faces when they go out. Qingwan and the others will also cover their faces with gauze when they go out. This doesn't seem to be used as evidence, right?"

"When investigating a case, we must doubt the guilt and not let go of any possibility; when judging the case, we must doubt the guilt."

Shangguan Lingye also had a headache. After thinking about it for a moment, he said again:

"There is a saying in the spiritual path that women outside the mountains are tigers. Female cultivators who dare to wander outside alone must have something special. Don't be deceived by other people's appearances."

Zuo Lingquan feels that Grandma Toffee is more like a wolf than a tiger, but it is not appropriate to say these things as a joke now. He nodded and said:

"Then I'll continue to think of ways to get closer and see if I can find out the details."

Shangguan Lingye held up the side of his face with his hands, his eyes showing contempt:

"Your ability to get close is really not that good. You might as well take her flying around with Yu Jian, and then she can do anything."

?

Zuo Lingquan felt that there was nothing to talk about today, so he spread his hands and said:

"That being the case, why don't you give me some advice on how to get close to a girl?"

Shangguan Lingye has never had any contact with men and women. Even if he is a hundred years old, he is still a pure little white flower. He doesn't know how to seduce others.

However, as an elder, I still have to come up with an idea at this time:

"Well... I saw a similar case when I was in the Demon Hunting Department. This woman likes men who feel safe. That girl crossed the sea and came here alone. She is not familiar with the place and she lacks a sense of security. How about I make arrangements to block the way and rob the girl, and you jump out at the critical moment and become a hero to save the beauty..."

"I'm afraid this method has been exhausted."

"What about the other way around, and I rob you of your lust and let her accidentally see it?"

Zuo Lingquan's eyes lit up and he really wanted to give it a try, but his wives were checking the post, so he still didn't dare to agree:

"Forget it. If she really comes after me, if I don't do anything, she will come again..."

Dong Dong——

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door in the guest room.

! !

The two of them were silent for a moment, and both looked at the door.

Shangguan Lingye stood up and walked out of the window silently, signaling with his eyes to open the door.

Zuo Lingquan's heartstrings that had just been relaxed tightened again. He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, held his sword upside down and walked slowly to the door. As if defusing a bomb, he carefully opened the door a small crack.

"Hee~ Mr. Zuo, aren't you busy?"

In the aisle, Xie Qiutao, who was wearing a pleated skirt, put her hands behind her waist, raised her chest slightly, and put on a bright smile. Still carrying the iron lute, the package was put down.

Zuo Lingquan was worried that Xie Qiutao would take out the Immortal Talisman or Law Treasure from behind his waist and give it to him, so he did not dare to let down his guard, so he opened half the door and said with a smile:

"I'm not busy. Miss Xie, is there something wrong?"

Xie Qiutao looked up at Zuo Lingquan and said with a smile:

"Is the young master really the Southern Wilderness Sword Dragon?"

"It's Jianzi, not Stegosaurus."

"Young Master's nickname is too long. I think it would be more concise and domineering. I actually have a nickname called 'Iron Pipa', hehe~ It was given by my former senior sisters. Do you know what it means, Young Master?"

Zuo Lingquan didn't know whether this was pre-battle talk or just a conversation. He followed the words:

"What's the meaning?"

"Actually, it's not interesting at all. My Pipa is made of iron, and that's how I got the random numbers. Zuo Jianxian has so many random numbers, where did they come from?"

"..."

No matter how dull Zuo Lingquan is, he still understands that this is a conversation, and he is in a bit of a dilemma.

He hesitated for a moment, then walked out of the room and said with a smile:

"The girl is very interested in me. Could she have some plot against me?"

Xie Qiutao wanted to say, 'You were the one who took the initiative to talk to me first,' but that was obviously not how Tian talked. She pursed her lips and smiled:

"How could it be possible? I just came to Jiu Sect and I don't know anyone. I was lucky enough to meet Zuo Jianxian, so I wanted to find out how to get started with Zuo Jianxian. You are so famous in Jiu Sect, so you should be familiar with these things, right?"

Zuo Lingquan returned to his usual easygoing look and said with a smile:

"I don't know much, but I understand the basics. What kind of connections does Miss Xie want to find out?"

"It's mainly the way to practice. I heard that the nine sects have strict rules and monks can't do whatever they want. The market is also different from ours. When we go out to get work together, we have to go outside the sect. This seems to be in a bank. At the door, people who are unfamiliar with the place don’t know who to ask for a job.”

Zuo Lingquan understood the meaning. If a monk goes out to practice, if he has no background, he basically has to work and practice at the same time. A person like him who goes straight ahead cannot carry his money.

Zuo Lingquan turned and walked towards the stairs: "I'm fine too. Let's take the girl for a walk on the street."

Xie Qiutao looked happy and jumped up to keep up, walking beside her:

"Thank you for your hard work, Zuo Jianxian."

Zuo Lingquan was just looking for an opportunity to find out the details, so he took advantage of the situation and asked:

"Where did the girl come from in Huajunzhou?"

"Zuo Jianxian must have never heard of this small place in the north of Huajunzhou. I used to study in Yingyang Immortal Palace. Did Zuo Jianxian see that fairy in a white dress just now? That's my senior sister. I used to go to Yingyang Immortal Palace to study. When we were at Yingyang Immortal Palace, we were only half a mile away, so we almost ran into each other."

"...?"

Zuo Lingquan thought this was strange. He walked slowly on the street and nodded:

"That fairy has a great background and probably has a high status in Yingyang Immortal Palace. It is normal not to encounter her. I heard that Yingyang Immortal Palace only selects those with extraordinary talents when selecting disciples. Could it be that the girl also has a special talent that is unique? "

When Xie Qiutao talked about this, his big eyes showed a bit of pride:

"That's natural. The disciples of Yingyang Immortal Palace all have special talents, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter the gate."

"Oh, what's that girl's talent?"

"Resist beating."

"..."

Zuo Lingquan paused, turned his head, and stopped talking.

Seeing that Zuo Lingquan thought she was joking, Xie Qiutao said seriously:

"I'm not lying to you. I've resisted beatings since I was a child and have never been injured. I'm very powerful. If you don't believe me, try hitting me."

As he spoke, he put his head with pink flower hair ornaments in front of Zuo Lingquan.

? ?

Zuo Lingquan was stunned.

The girls watching in the painting boat were obviously a little surprised.

"Isn't this girl a fool?"

"grumble."

"It's okay, he's quite energetic. Ling Quan, don't hit him seriously."

"I also find it pleasing to the eye. It would be great if I had a daughter like this. Xiao Zuo, I don't think this girl is a bad person. I'm afraid I've found the wrong person."
