Chapter 612 Do you believe her?
Since the visitor came sincerely, Qi Huang could only “reluctantly” welcome her in. This was not the imperial palace, so there were naturally no restrictions.
Qi Huang carefully observed the woman in front of her. She appeared to be in her early twenties, with a tall figure enhanced by a fitted white ruqun, accentuating her graceful curves. Her black hair cascaded down to her waist, and a few strands of hair by her temples were tucked behind her ears, revealing a noble, oval face. Her delicate features were more defined than those of ordinary women, and coupled with her vibrant red lips, she exuded a strong feminine charm.
Qi Huang was slightly mesmerized. After all, for men, femininity was irresistible, and even for someone like her, who had a male heart in a female body, it was the same.
However, Cheng Hongling did not show a pleasant expression and immediately got to the point, asking, “Miss, we don’t know each other, do we?”
“This humble self’s name is Xue Jing. I’ve only recently settled in the HongHua Sect and am an ordinary person. It’s normal for Fairy Hong Ling not to know me.”
The woman in white introduced herself humbly.
“Miss, you are too modest. How can an ordinary person be as beautiful as you?”
Jiang Liniang praised her from the side.
Cheng Hongling did not let the matter rest and continued to inquire, “Since that’s the case, may I know your purpose?”
“Fairy Hong Ling doesn’t know me, but I know you! The HongHua Sect… no… it should be said that you are the number one genius in the Cultivation World of the Xihui Dynasty. The HongHua Sect’s development and growth rely on you. I thought that since I’m going to settle here, it’s necessary to pay a visit.”
Xue Jing explained.
“You’ve thought of everything!”
Cheng Hongling smiled noncommittally.
“Don’t stand in the yard, come in and sit!”
Jiang Liniang invited.
“Thank you, Auntie. This is a small gift for you!”
Xue Jing handed over the large bags and packages in her hand to Jiang Liniang.
“You’re being too polite.”
Jiang Liniang shook her head helplessly. Since the offer was too generous to refuse, she accepted it.
As for Qi Huang, she dared not say anything, because even a fool could see that the main body was unhappy.
Thus, the mother and two daughters led Xue Jing into the main hall.
“Fairy Hong Ling, as the top Immortal Seed of the HongHua Sect, living in such a place, I truly admire your talent and integrity!”
After sitting down, Xue Jing flattered them again.
“Miss Xue, you flatter me. I don’t think houses are about size but about comfort. If they’re too big, they can be cold and lonely, which isn’t beautiful!”
Qi Huang replied humbly. As she finished speaking, she noticed the main body glance at her, and she immediately felt a little guilty.
“Is that so? Then you might not be accustomed to it if you marry into the Lü Family in the future. I heard their residences are even larger than the imperial palace.”
Xue Jing asked calmly.
“Didn’t Miss Xue just come to settle in the HongHua Sect? You even know about this matter?”
Cheng Hongling’s tone became increasingly icy.
“Fairy Hong Ling is joking. You are now a prominent figure in the entire Xihui Dynasty. Even farmers in remote villages know about such things, so how could I not know?”
Xue Jing smiled calmly.
“Really? But your accent suggests you are not from the Xihui Dynasty!”
Cheng Hongling narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly.
“Yes, I am indeed not from the Xihui Dynasty, but doesn’t this show your great influence? Even people from abroad come to settle in the HongHua Sect.”
Xue Jing flattered without panic.
“Heh heh…”
Cheng Hongling dryly pulled the corners of her mouth.
“Has my daughter become so famous that even foreigners know about her?”
Jiang Liniang asked with interest while pouring tea.
Of course, Fairy Hong Ling
has amazing talent, and the Lü Family is one of the Nine Great Immortal Forces. As their future young madam, there are probably not many people in the entire Cultivation World who haven’t heard her name.
“Xue Jing praised her opportunistically.”
“Is that so?”
A hint of pride appeared on Jiang Liniang’s face.
“Who is the future young madam of the Lü Family? I have no intention of marrying into the Lü Family.”
Qi Huang quickly clarified.
“Oh? Really? The Lü Family is one of the top three great families in the Cultivation World, and Lü Yi is one of the Nine Great Prodigies. Does Fairy Hong Ling not even fancy him?”
Xue Jing confirmed.
“So what? I don’t like to climb the social ladder!”
Cheng Hongling snorted.
“What about you, Auntie? What is your attitude?”
Xue Jing turned to test Jiang Liniang again.
“I also disagree. I heard that Lü Yi is a philanderer and has hundreds of concubines even before marrying his main wife. If my daughter marries such a person, she will surely have a hard time.”
Jiang Liniang said without hesitation.
“Heh heh…”
Xue Jing suddenly smiled with relief, and then said, “Auntie, I truly admire your principles, but I heard that Lü Yi has already carved Fairy Hong Ling’s name on the Immortal Tablet. Once she fails to show up on her wedding day, she will immediately be suppressed by Immortal Might!”
“It’s just a mere Immortal Tablet, I don’t take it seriously.”
Qi Huang said disdainfully. With the protection of the Hua Rong Sect’s Immortal Tablet, why would she be afraid?
“Is that so? Although your talent is astonishing, that thing is not something that humans can contend with. The Shuiyu Valley was destroyed under the Lü Family’s Immortal Tablet. You should know this best.”
Xue Jing inquired curiously.
“I have my own ways to deal with it. Next year, on the sixth day of the sixth month, you’ll see whether I pay attention to the Lü Family or not.”
Qi Huang said enigmatically.
“Heh heh…”
Xue Jing revealed a bright smile.
Miss Xue seems very interested in whether I marry Lü Yi.
Cheng Hongling probed calmly.
“Oh, don’t laugh at me when I tell you!”
Xue Jing explained awkwardly: “The Lü Family is one of the Nine Great Immortal Forces in the Cultivation World, with immense power. Therefore, every girl wants to enter the Lü Mansion, and I am no exception, just like girls in the mortal world want to settle in the HongHua Sect.”
Speaking of this, Xue Jing looked at the expressions of the mother and daughters before continuing, “So when I learned that you were marrying into the Lü Family, I had the idea of joining the HongHua Sect. My purpose was to ask you to take me into the Lü Mansion, even as a dowry maidservant, or a slave. As long as you agree, I will have no complaints.”
Qi Huang was somewhat disappointed to hear this, thinking that it was a waste of such a beautiful face to be so materialistic.
“Daughter! Did you hear what I just said? That Lü Yi is a philanderer, you can’t jump into the fire pit!”
Jiang Liniang earnestly persuaded.
“Don’t worry, Auntie. Since Fairy Hong Ling is unwilling to marry, I naturally won’t be able to go either,”
Xue Jing said casually to comfort her.
Not long after, Xue Jing found an excuse to leave.
“Do you believe what that woman said?”
Cheng Hongling asked her mother and clone.
Qi Huang and her cheap mother exchanged glances, and then shook their heads in unison. After all, neither of them was willing to think badly of such a beautiful girl.
“Then why are you still standing there? Use the Recording Mirror to check!”
Cheng Hongling reminded Qi Huang.
“Oh, I know!”
Qi Huang quickly took out the Recording Mirror to peek. Since that woman had already tested the waters with her and her family, she would definitely take some action.
Just as Qi Huang expected, Xue Jing returned to her residence, set up a Spiritual Sense Shield, and immediately took out the Thousand Li Sound Transmission Device.
“Father Emperor!”
After the other person answered, Xue Jing said respectfully.
Father Emperor?
The mother and daughters looked at each other, because in the Cultivation Continent, only princesses called their fathers this way.
“Xue’er, how is the situation? You’ve been in the HongHua Sect for three to four months?”
A hoarse male voice came from the other side.
“Xue’er?”
Qi Huang was stunned again. It seemed that the name “Xue Jing” was also fake.
“Your humble subject wishes to report this matter. I met Fairy Hong Ling today. She said she does not want to join the Lü Family.”
Xue Jing explained the situation.
“Really?”
The male voice on the other side suddenly became agitated.
“Most likely true. She has no reason to lie to me.”
Xue Jing pondered for a moment.
“But isn’t she afraid of the Lü Family’s Immortal Tablet?”
The hoarse male voice asked doubtfully.
“She said she has a way to deal with the Immortal Tablet.”
Xue Jing answered truthfully.
“If that’s the case, then you should come back quickly. As long as that Cheng Hongling doesn’t marry, next year on the sixth day of the sixth month, Lü Yi will not forcibly call you to be his concubine.”
The hoarse male voice suggested.
Concubine?
Qi Huang and Cheng Hongling exchanged glances, and relieved expressions appeared on their faces.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. Firstly, I’m not sure if what she said is one hundred percent true; secondly, people’s minds can change. What if she changes her mind midway? So I must stay to monitor until the sixth day of the sixth month next year.”
Xue Jing made a decision after pondering for a moment.
“If that’s the case, then Father Emperor will not force you. If that Cheng Hongling’s words are false, or if she changes her mind midway, do not act rashly. Father Emperor will send someone to assist you in killing her. I absolutely will not allow my daughter to marry someone else as a concubine. So this matter must succeed and not fail.”
The hoarse voice instructed.
