Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

When Ling'er heard Luo Lishang's words, a look of disbelief flashed in her eyes.

She had followed Luo Lishang for many years, so she naturally knew that her master was extremely powerful and had few rivals among his peers.

Hearing that Luo Lishang and Zhou Yiqiao had fought to a draw, he was shocked.

"Your Highness, since you came back, you have not told me what happened that day. I can only guess on my own."

"Otherwise, Your Highness, please tell Ling'er the details of what happened that day, so that Ling'er won't ask questions in the future."

When Luo Lishang heard Ling'er's words, the smile on her face froze slightly. A hint of embarrassment flashed across her eyes, but it was quickly covered up by her cold appearance.

She coughed lightly, trying to hide her shyness, with a hint of unnaturalness in her voice.

"Ling'er, there's no need to mention what happened that day."

However, Ling'er's curiosity has been completely aroused.

She raised her right hand and swore

"Your Highness, please tell Ling'er. Ling'er promises that she will never tell anyone else."

Luo Lishang frowned slightly. She knew that if she didn't give Ling'er an answer, she would definitely keep pestering her.

There was a flash of determination in her eyes, and she raised her slender hand slightly, and a subtle spiritual power hit Ling'er's waist silently.

"Ouch!"

Ling'er didn't expect Luo Lishang to suddenly attack her. She covered her waist with her hands, with a hint of grievance in her voice.

"Your Highness Princess, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Why do you want to hit me?"

A hint of apology flashed across Luo Lishang's face, but he still spoke in that cold tone.

"It's a small punishment, a big warning, so that you know that there are some issues that you shouldn't ask about."

After saying this, Luo Lishang turned around and walked into the inner room before Ling'er could raise any new questions, disappearing from Ling'er's sight.

......

On the other hand, the Seven Swordsmen who followed Zhou Yiqiao back to Lingyun Peak had already heard about Luo Lishang's threat to Zhou Yiqiao.

The Seven Swordsmen's faces were gloomy. They slammed the table and stood up, like an enraged beast, ready to rush out and fight the enemy at any time.

"Master, Luo Lishang is really too much! How can we let her manipulate us like this?"

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the angry expressions of the Seven Swordsmen and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

Even though they haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, the Seven Swords' loyalty to him remains unchanged.

But precisely because he was moved, he needed to calm the Seven Swordsmen down.

Bi Luo Li Shang is really the second princess of Da Xuan Tian, ​​and any impulsive behavior of theirs may lead to disastrous consequences.

"Qijian, I understand how you feel, but we must remain calm at this moment."

"Luo Lishang is not someone we can easily contend with. We cannot let our momentary anger ruin the overall situation."

Qijian's clenched fists trembled slightly. He knew that Zhou Yiqiao's words were right, but the anger in his heart was difficult to calm down.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said in a deep voice.

"Master, I understand."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded. He knew that the Seven Swords needed time to digest the news, so he waved his hand gently, signaling the Seven Swords to leave.

"You go down first. I want to be alone for a while."

Although Qi Jian was worried, he also knew that Zhou Yiqiao needed to be alone to think about countermeasures, so he said no more and turned to leave the room.

Zhou Yiqiao was the only one left in the room. He tried to calm his restlessness by meditating, but found that he could not calm down no matter what.

Apart from his worries about the unknown, the only thing left in his mind was his nervousness about the upcoming auction.

Finally, Zhou Yiqiao gave up meditating, stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sea of ​​clouds outside, but his mind was racing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. It was an item he had obtained by chance many years ago - Xuantian Treasure Record.

Xuantian Baolu is a mysterious book that records many secrets and secrets of Xuantian officials.

When Zhou Yiqiao first got it, he was well aware of the sensitivity and danger of the information contained therein, and was afraid that it would inadvertently bring him fatal disaster, so he chose to seal the memory and only touch it when he needed it most.

Now, facing Luo Lishang’s threat and the upcoming auction, Zhou Yiqiao suddenly remembered the Xuantian Treasure Record that he had forgotten.

He had an idea that perhaps this treasure book contained key information that could help him escape from his predicament.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Yiqiao sat back on the cushion, raised his hand and touched his forehead, completely awakening the memory of Xuantian Treasure Record in his mind.

As his memory revived, details about the officials of Daxuantian came flooding in like a tide, and those secret information that he had deliberately forgotten now became clear in his mind one by one.

Zhou Yiqiao searched carefully, hoping to find clues related to the Daxuantian royal family or the Eight Pillars, especially those that could be used as bargaining chips.

However, after reading through countless entries and browsing through the secrets of many officials, Zhou Yiqiao discovered that although this information was precious and enough to shake the political arena of Daxuantian, it did not seem to pose much direct threat to the Daxuantian Eight Pillars who were in high positions, or even more so, the Daxuantian royal family.

Most of these secrets concerned officials' misconduct, corruption, or infighting in the officialdom, and did not involve the people he cared about at all.

“Why do I feel that this thing is the information collected by the Great Xuantian Immortal Emperor in order to deal with the officialdom?”

Zhou Yiqiao muttered something, checked the information again, and finally exited his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Fortunately, it's not completely useless after all."

Zhou Yiqiao slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Although the information in the Xuantian Treasure Records did not directly target the Great Xuantian Imperial Family, the entries about the corruption and misconduct of a few officials pointed to the Eight Pillars of the State in both explicit and implicit ways.

If he could make full use of this information, even if he couldn't directly overthrow a strong man among the Eight Pillar States, it would be enough to create a stir within the Great Xuantian and gain more bargaining chips and allies for himself.

Zhou Yiqiao stood up, walked to the table, spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen and began to list all the useful information.

As he wrote, he thought about how to weave this information into an intricate web that would allow him to come into contact with beings powerful enough to fight against the Eight Pillars.

This process is very exhausting.

In the following days, Zhou Yiqiao was immersed in research and planning, and was almost unaware of the changes in the outside world.

His thoughts were interrupted only when Luo Lishang's maid Ling'er brought him an exquisite brocade robe and an invitation letter.

"Mr. Zhou, this is the dress that Her Royal Highness the Princess prepared for you. Please be sure to wear it tomorrow."

"Also, this is the official invitation letter for the auction, which contains the detailed arrangements and precautions for the auction."

Ling'er's voice was soft and polite, and it was obvious that she respected Zhou Yiqiao because of the true strength revealed by Luo Lishang.

Zhou Yiqiao took the clothes and invitation and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

After Ling'er left, he carefully looked at the brocade robe in his hand.

The brocade robe in Zhou Yiqiao's hand is a combination of the essence of the immortal world and mortal world clothing. It retains the transcendence of the immortal cultivators while also containing worldly elegance.

The brocade robe is mainly dark navy blue, with silver piping on the collar and cuffs, which complements the silver cloud pattern on the robe.

The hem of the dress is embroidered with delicate flowing cloud patterns, which seem to flow across the hem as the wearer steps, adding a touch of agility.

The material of the brocade robe is the natural silk unique to the world of immortal cultivation. It is light and tough, with a faint luster in the sun, showing its extraordinary texture.

After putting on the brocade robe, Zhou Yiqiao's image was completely changed.

The navy blue brocade robe highlights his tall and straight figure, and the silver cloud pattern complements his temperament, making him look like a graceful young man walking out of a painting, with the detachment of an immortal cultivator and yet still maintaining his worldly demeanor.

His hair was gently tied up with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of unruly style.

When Qi Jian saw Zhou Yiqiao's new clothes, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes. He stepped forward and whispered.

"Master, do you need me to accompany you to the auction tomorrow?"

Zhou Yiqiao shook his head and whispered comfortingly while adjusting his clothes.

"Your master never fights a battle without preparation. I already have some ideas for this auction."

"You stay in the Sword Sect and work hard to improve your realm. When I come back, I will lend you a hand and help you advance."

Although the Seven Swordsmen were unwilling in their hearts, they would not refute Zhou Yiqiao's order. They nodded and quickly retreated.

On the second day, Zhou Yiqiao arrived at the exit of Tijian Sect early.

Thanks to the brocade robe given by Luo Lishang, he attracted a lot of people's attention as soon as he arrived.

Fortunately, Zhou Yiqiao always maintained an indifferent look, which made many disciples of the Tijian Sect who wanted to chat with him go back in disappointment.

Soon, Luo Lishang appeared in everyone's sight. She was wearing a water blue long skirt that matched Zhou Yiqiao's brocade robe. The skirt was also embroidered with silver cloud patterns, which formed an indescribable harmony with Zhou Yiqiao's brocade robe.

Her long hair was gently tied up with a jade hairpin, and a few strands of black hair fluttered in the wind, adding a bit of liveliness.

The two of them stood side by side, like a match made in heaven, attracting the attention of everyone around them. There was talk everywhere, and all of them were full of praise.

"That's Princess Luo and Senior Zhou, right? How did they get together?"

"And looking at what they are wearing, this is..."

Someone exclaimed in a low voice, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Who knows? It's hard for us juniors to guess what happened to our seniors."

"But looking at them standing together, they are really a perfect match."

Another disciple took over, with envy in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang were completely unaware of the discussions around them, or rather, they didn't care at all.

The two smiled at each other, and Luo Lishang slightly opened her red lips.

"Mr. Zhou, please."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly, and the two of them stepped onto the teleportation formation together. Their figures flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight.

As the two men left, the entire square was in an uproar. Within half a day, rumors about the two men spread throughout the Tijian Sect.
