Chapter 922
Half for each?
Qin Qi naturally had no objections.
As for other requests...
Qin Qi looked Ming Lan up and down, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, causing Ming Lan’s pretty face to blush as she nervously said, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, why, why are you looking at Senior Sister like that?"
Qin Qi smiled and said, "Senior Sister Ming is so beautiful, I was momentarily lost in admiration!"
This made Ming Lan’s delicate body tremble.
She murmured inwardly.
The other conditions Qin Qi might want, could it be, he has taken a fancy to me?
This undoubtedly quickened her heartbeat.
In her heart, she didn’t feel any aversion towards Qin Qi. After all, Qin Qi’s strength and talent were clear, and if he truly had feelings for her, it would be a good thing no matter how she looked at it.
However, as a woman, she naturally couldn’t show it.
She hurriedly changed the topic, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, do you have any other requests?"
Qin Qi grinned, "If I said that I like Senior Sister Ming and want her to be my woman, would that count as a request?"
Ming Lan’s pretty face instantly turned bright red.
Although she had many suitors, she had never encountered someone who confessed so directly.
Suddenly, she couldn’t even speak clearly out of nervousness, "Junior, Junior Brother Qin Qi, you mustn’t joke with your Senior Sister!"
Qin Qi inwardly laughed to himself.
The female cultivators in this Secret Realm are truly interesting.
A simple confession, and her face turns red all the way to her neck!
"Conquering this Ming Lan shouldn’t be too hard!" Qin Qi squinted his eyes, then cheerfully said, "How could I joke with Senior Sister Ming, every word I said was very serious!"
Ming Lan’s heart was in a flutter.
In her anxiousness, she could only say, "The competition for the lands awarded is about half a month away."
"When it starts, I’ll come find Junior Brother Qin Qi. If Junior Brother Qin Qi doesn’t have any other matters, then I, I will take my leave first!"
After speaking, she hurriedly left in a fluster.
Seeing Ming Lan being so adorable, Qin Qi couldn’t help but smile.
He watched her leave and then headed directly to the City Lord’s Mansion to find out where Zuo Qingyue was currently located.
Soon, Qin Qi arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Qi saw Luo Yanran.
When Luo Yanran saw Qin Qi, her pretty face also suddenly turned red, and she warmly spoke, "Junior Brother Qin Qi..."
Qin Qi calmly said, "Senior Sister Luo, is the City Lord present?"
Luo Yanran couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
Qin Qi had come to the City Lord’s Mansion, yet he wasn’t here to see her...
"Oh? Is there something you need?"
Yuan Tianqing walked out from the mansion.
Qin Qi bowed and said, "Junior wishes to inquire, where in Tianqing City is Zuo Qingyue, who came with me before, currently employed?"
Last time I came, I only asked about Wenren Xiaoxian’s whereabouts.
"Zuo Qingyue, huh!" Yuan Tianqing said with admiration while holding his hands behind his back, "That girl has quite the talent."
"I originally thought that the Martial Arts District produced only one genius like you, but now it seems Zuo Qingyue’s talent might not be inferior to yours!"
Qin Qi had heard some things from Wenren Xiaoxian before.
But he didn’t expect even Yuan Tianqing to be full of praise.
Yuan Tianqing continued, "Previously, Senior Sister only assigned her to rear supply work, but this girl made four consecutive breakthroughs in a short time, reaching as high as Tier Nine Foundation Establishment!"
"Both I and Senior Sister intend to recruit her into Tianlan Sect, but this little girl hasn’t agreed."
"Currently, she has just been transferred to the position of Captain of the Guard, responsible for patrolling the city defense!"
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows.
Zuo Qingyue had truly made him see her in a new light, reaching the position of Captain of the Guard.
Surprised, he bowed, "Thank you, City Lord!"
"Speaking of which, that girl is quite the sought-after lady as of late. Many are interested in her," Yuan Tianqing said with a teasing smile.
After all, he could tell that Qin Qi’s relationship with Wenren Xiaoxian and Zuo Qingyue was not ordinary.
"I see." Qin Qi kept a calm demeanor, "Thank you, City Lord, for the information. I shall take my leave now!"
In his heart, he had already made up his mind.
Zuo Qingyue is his woman.
And can only be his woman!
After saying this, Qin Qi turned and left.
"Master, I’ll see Qin Qi off!" Luo Yanran suddenly said.
Yuan Tianqing didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement.
Soon, outside the City Lord’s Mansion, Luo Yanran caught up with him.
Qin Qi said in surprise, "Miss Luo, do you have something you want?"
"I..."
Luo Yanran hesitated.
She bit gently, feeling a mix of emotions.
Ever since the art photo incident ended, she has felt an immense emptiness in her heart, and constantly revisits moments related to Qin Qi in her mind.
And whenever she recalls them, she only feels like she’s on fire, tormented and deeply uncomfortable.
Those images linger in her mind, and now, seeing Qin Qi again, that desire in her heart is stirring once more.
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "Miss Luo, I believe our cooperation has ended, has it not?"
Luo Yanran hesitated and said, "Junior Brother Qin Qi, can you truly tolerate my husband by three points?"
Qin Qi squinted his eyes.
How could he not see the subtext in Luo Yanran’s words?
This woman was evidently being educated by him quite effectively.
Yet, he wasn’t rushing.
If it’s education, it should progress slowly.
He leisurely said, "I will naturally strive to fulfill our cooperation agreement!"
"I, I just hope Junior Brother Qin Qi can be even more tolerant towards my husband..." Luo Yanran suddenly changed the topic and unexpectedly made another request.
Qin Qi chuckled and said, "Miss Luo, what do you mean by that?"
Luo Yanran took a deep breath, "I, my husband’s injuries are now healed, and given his nature, he will certainly not let you off easily. Naturally, I do not wish for there to be any more friction between my husband and Junior Brother Qin Qi."
After all, the losses previously suffered almost cost Baiqing Residence its life.
Qin Qi lightly curled his lips, "Senior Sister Luo, since you propose cooperation and requests, shouldn’t there be corresponding compensations?"
Luo Yanran’s body slightly trembled and then she blushed in embarrassment, "As long as Junior Brother Qin Qi agrees, I, I can still agree to the art photo thing with Junior Brother Qin Qi!"
Qin Qi squinted his eyes, his heart dancing with joy.
This Luo Yanran, clearly wants to take art photos!
He teasingly said, "Miss Luo, are you trying to help your husband, or do you want to take art photos with me?"
Luo Yanran’s pretty face turned red instantly.
That nervousness felt like her thoughts had been exposed, "Ho, how could that be possible! I, I wouldn’t think about taking art photos with Junior Brother Qin Qi, you, you!"
