Chapter 881
Baiqing Residence was clearly confused, "Master, what do you mean by that?"
Bai Qingrou bit her silver teeth, "Do you really think the things you did were so flawless that no one else knows?"
"Placing the Fragrant Fox on Ma Yan and using Ma Yan to kill Qin Qi and his group? Do you realize what your fate will be if this is exposed?"
"At that time, not only will your master be unable to protect you, but even the entire Tianlan Sect won’t be able to shield you!"
In the past, her disciple was excellent, with extraordinary talent, always her pride.
But now, she actually felt a faint regret that iron cannot become steel.
She didn’t expect him to act without considering the consequences.
And Baiqing Residence was clearly still unwilling to admit his mistakes, "Hmph, the Fragrant Fox and Ma Yan are already gone, what can Qin Qi use to investigate me?"
Bai Qingrou’s anger rose from her heart.
She struck a fierce slap on Baiqing Residence’s face.
Baiqing Residence covered his face, feeling the scorching heat, terrified.
Because, this was the second time her master had hit him today.
"Master, you..."
Bai Qingrou angrily rebuked, "You still think Qin Qi can’t investigate you? I ask you, how many people in Tianqing City have raised Fragrant Foxes?"
"This matter can easily point to you, how will you explain then?"
"Where has the Fragrant Fox you raised gone?"
Baiqing Residence was red with embarrassment, his face gloomy, "By then, I’ll just deny it and say the Fragrant Fox was lost. With the evidence gone, what can mere Qin Qi, with no background, prove it was me?"
Bai Qingrou clenched her fists tightly, "While Qin Qi indeed has no background or power, what about Minglan?"
With that said.
Baiqing Residence was speechless on the spot.
He only planned to kill Qin Qi, but had not thought about others.
Forgot that Minglan’s background is particularly solid, even the Ming Family behind him, which even Tianlan Sect can’t afford to offend.
Bai Qingrou took a deep breath, "I can now think of ways to stabilize Qin Qi, but how to stabilize Minglan? You’re not out of danger yet, if you dare to pull any tricks again, not even I can protect you!"
"From today onwards, you’ll rest here. Don’t go anywhere. And don’t entertain any thoughts of eliminating Qin Qi!"
"I’ll handle the rest of the matter for you!"
A harsh remark.
Bai Qingrou still wanted to say a few more words, but in the end, nothing else came out, leaving angrily.
After all, as the highest combat power of Tianqing City, she couldn’t leave Tianqing City for too long!
Baiqing Residence paused slightly.
He was stunned.
He still couldn’t understand.
Clearly just a small Qin Qi!
Why is he the one in such a dire situation now?
And most crucially!
He clearly noticed.
His master changed, no longer unconditionally supporting him like before.
...
Meanwhile, on this battlefield, the war continues.
Though the City Defense Array was already spread out, the combat power of these Evil Demons was still extremely strong.
Tianqing City continued to send out their trump card forces.
And the Evil Demons there also kept showing their hand.
Thus, a fierce battle lasted several days.
Finally, with the roars of two Demon Kings behind the Evil Demons.
The severely injured Evil Demon army retreated from the cultivators’ slaughter.
Yuan Tianqing seeing this scene finally let out a sigh of relief.
He and Bai Qingrou counted the casualties together, both frowning!
"Master, we clearly won the battle, why so downcast?" asked Zhang Ming, Yuan Tianqing’s disciple.
Yuan Tianqing sighed, "Though we won and repelled those Evil Demons, in this battle, twelve Foundation Establishment cultivators died, and more than thirty were injured."
"Those Evil Demons also suffered heavy losses, but their propagation and growth rate is extremely rapid, nearly creating a new Evil Demon, shortly reaching the combat power of a human Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"So, though we held out this time, the next Evil Demon attack..."
At this point, everyone fell silent.
After a while, Bai Qingrou gently opened her lips, "I will notify the sect to mobilize more Foundation Establishment disciples to the front line."
"Although there aren’t many disciples the sect can mobilize, right now there’s no other way."
"We can only hold out through this general attack, then plan recovery!"
Thus, after some brief goodwill.
Qin Qi also felt emotional.
After all, such a massive war, he experienced for the first time too.
And the rapid harvesting of lives on this battlefield is astonishing.
Even those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were highly regarded in the Martial Arts District, perished so quickly in the Secret Realm in mere days.
These were Foundation Establishment cultivators, who knows how many True Masters perished?
"Friend Qin Qi!"
Yuan Tianqing smilingly approached, "Now that the battle is over, why not go back and take a rest for a while?"
"No need for that, I’m thinking about where to exchange the Merit Points," Qin Qi said.
Yuan Tianqing grinned and said, "Indeed, Yanran, you take our friend Qin Qi."
Speaking, he winked at Luo Yanran.
After all, how many Evil Demons Qin Qi eliminated, how many Merit Points he earned, was of great curiosity.
This crucial factor connected to the ranking of all city areas!
Luo Yanran clearly understood the importance, gently opened her lips, "Mr. Qin Qi, come with me!"
She took out her flying Magical Treasure, inviting Qin Qi to join.
Under Luo Yanran’s lead, Qin Qi soon left Tianqing City, heading straight for the rear of the battlefield.
Along the way, the atmosphere was particularly ambiguous.
Qin Qi smiled slightly, "Miss Luo, you should remember the promises you made to save your husband!"
Luo Yanran obviously feared Qin Qi bringing those things up, her pretty face immediately turned red, filled with shame and indignation.
But she had indeed promised Qin Qi, no reason to back out now.
She lightly bit her lips, "I, of course, remember. Brother Qin Qi, what, what request do you have?"
After saying this, her heart pounded.
She didn’t know why.
She should’ve felt boundless embarrassment.
Yet her heart raced with excitement and tension.
Even secretly imagined Qin Qi proposing some excessive requests...
Qin Qi smiled broadly, calmly saying, "Miss Luo, you promised me to take artistic photos together but haven’t done it yet!"
"Now mentioning another condition might be too soon, right?"
"We’ve just left Tianqing City, I think the surrounding scenery is beautiful, perfect for some artistic shots!"
