Chapter 0.60. Meeting Qing Cang
“So early?”
A shock flashed in Qin Gou’s eyes, his thoughts almost instantly returning to that moment when he obtained the Faceless Hermit bloodline through the Merit Points lottery. He said in surprise, “Why didn’t you tell me, so we could consider it together? Have you come up with any good ideas so far?”
“Ding. As for countermeasures… can’t the host already travel between the two realms?”
“You…”
Qin Gou’s face twitched slightly, and he said in disbelief, “So you’re just letting me face the heavenly tribulation of two realms alone?!”
“Ding! Such good fortune for a cultivator to face the heavenly tribulations of two realms together is by no means ordinary! After all, although called heavenly tribulation, it is in fact the most powerful cleansing and transformative force in the world.”
“Well said! Then how many people have been washed into ash since ancient times? How could it not be powerful?” Old Qin’s face had already darkened.
“If the heavenly tribulations of the two realms came separately, would the host have the confidence to handle them?”
Qin Gou immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “You mean these heavenly tribulations from two realms will not actually descend at the same time?”
“Ding? Who can say for sure.”
“Then you said it for nothing!” Old Qin was extremely depressed.
However, at the same time, Qin Gou clearly heard a brief, faint chuckle.
“I understand.”
Old Qin, who was adept at communicating with A Xi in unconventional ways, suddenly realized.
“Alright, since you still have the mood to bicker with me and tease me, it means there won’t be any major problems!”
“Ding”
Immediately after, a prompt sound representing ‘affirmation’ rang out first.
“Trust me!”
“Nonsense.”
…
In reality, Qin Gou’s exchange with A Xi happened in an instant, imperceptible to others.
At the same time, Yan Suoyun looked at the main hall of the Divine Bridge somewhat worriedly and asked, “Zhenyu, will the commotion caused by this Divine Bridge…” Before Qin Gou could nod, he would not call him ‘Senior Brother’ in front of others.
“Don’t worry, we just need to wait a moment. That sharp aura will dissipate quickly and will not damage the Divine Bridge Sanctuary in the slightest.”
Qin Gou waved his hand calmly. After all, A Xi was not joking about such after-sales service. With a wave of his hand, Qin Gou also transmitted the information about the Demon God that he had learned from the Divine Bridge to Yan Suoyun and Ren Ci through his divine sense.
“Like this, you two digest it slowly first. While this moment is available, according to what we discussed with Song Qianyin earlier, I need to go to Qing Cang Hall for a bit. I’ll be back soon.”
“Is it really that urgent?” Ren Ci asked with some confusion.
“No way, in such an unclear situation, who knows what Qing Cang Demon Lord is scheming against me right now!”
Yan Suoyun and Ren Ci couldn’t understand the reason for a while. Qin Gou wasn’t in a hurry to explain at length, so after saying hello, he immediately opened the Abyss Gate and teleported to the outside of Qing Cang Hall where Song Qianyin was.
“I have been waiting for a long time. Demon Lord Zhenyu, please come in.”
Hearing the familiar, humble, and polite voice, Qin Gou entered. However, after entering the hall, Qin Gou first looked back at the seemingly lightly closed door before looking at Song Qianyin, who was standing gracefully not far away, and said with a smile, “I really didn’t guess wrong. Qing Cang Demon Lord is indeed cautious.”
Upon hearing this, Song Qianyin showed a confused expression, “Demon Lord Zhenyu, it seems you’ve misunderstood something?”
“No, after all, within your self-contained Qing Cang Hall, it would be difficult for others to discover when the restriction was placed on that only exit behind me.”
Qin Gou chuckled and looked around again, thinking to himself, “All these arrangements are basically no different from what I saw in the Western Heaven Realm.”
“Zhenyu is joking.”
Song Qianyin seemed to be putting up a brave front, but a flash of astonishment in her clear eyes did not escape Qin Gou’s notice.
Was she flustered?
Of course not. If it were anyone else, this slight embarrassment shown now might be real. But this girl in front of him was Song Qianyin, after all, someone who always appeared weak and was often the victim.
She was feigning weakness. The more she appeared to be at a disadvantage, the more prepared and confident she was. After all, there was an old saying that the submissive often dominated.
“I’m not joking. If I hadn’t pointed out these details in advance, who knows if Qing Cang would have suddenly made a move against me?”
As he spoke, Qin Gou quickly pointed in several directions around him.
“Those places are probably all aimed at me, right?”
What Qin Gou pointed to were the core positions of the killing formations within Qing Cang Hall that he knew of, and the source of this information was naturally the “Little Song” from the Western Heaven Realm.
“You…” Song Qianyin’s pretty face turned pale. She wanted to continue pretending, to keep pretending!
“Cough, I’m just wondering. Have you always thought of me as someone to be wary of, Qing Cang? We don’t seem to have any intersection, and I haven’t offended you, right?”
Qin Gou said with great frustration, “Now you have questions for me, and I also want to explain to you. If we’re going to talk, let’s talk properly. You can kindly withdraw all those flashy things first.”
“I am naturally cautious, but upon careful consideration, treating a guest like this is indeed abrupt.”
Song Qianyin sighed, waved her hand, and dispersed the formations targeting Qin Gou.
“And more.”
However, with just a casual glance at the face of the dignified Qing Cang Demon Lord, whose expression was like a victim, Qin Gou was extremely sure even without using his divine sense to investigate.
Song Qianyin’s eyes widened in panic, and she quickly made hand seals, seemingly disarming something else.
Flustered?
“Then there are!”
“Your Excellency…”
“Continue.”
“I’m sorry.” Song Qianyin’s voice trembled, “I obey, I obey!”
“You want to harm me!” Qin Gou said warily.
“I am extremely ashamed.” Song Qianyin bowed her head in repentance.
“Damn flower-headed fool!” Old Qin glared with a stern brow.
Not long after, after all the traps in Qing Cang Hall, which Qin Gou remembered as being full of ambushes, were abandoned by the Song Qianyin in front of him, Old Qin’s gaze became even stranger.
At this moment, shouldn’t this elder sister show some change in attitude?
“Qing Cang, can we talk properly now?”
“Indeed, I underestimated you.”
For a moment, Song Qianyin’s eyes were filled with despair. The white flower wreath on her head wilted because of her emotions. She cupped her fists and bowed, genuinely convinced, “Today, I finally know that there are indeed people beyond people. I am completely defeated. From now on, I dare not offend Demon Lord Zhenyu!”
“So that’s how it is.”
Qin Gou let out a dry laugh and carefully examined the well-behaved Song Qianyin from head to toe. If he wasn’t mistaken… a chill crept into his heart.
“You flower-headed fool, are you really planning to kill me this time?!”
