Chapter 1490 - 550: “Sacrificing” One’s Looks
What a case of misfortune coming one after another.
Ye Lingyue was already overwhelmed by the matters in Hong Meng Heaven, and now Elder Jing suddenly pulled this stunt.
At this moment, she realized she had become too prominent in Fang Ah County.
Earlier in Xuanwu City, she was overly high-profile, resulting in being suppressed and sent to Fang Ah County.
But now, being even slightly high-profile, she has offended Elder Jing.
Ye Lingyue deeply felt that every step within the Jiu Provinces Alliance was like walking on thin ice.
If only she could break away from the Jiu Provinces Alliance.
Ye Lingyue had a fleeting thought, but it quickly disappeared.
It’s important to have self-awareness, and unless her strength increases significantly and she finds the Jiu Provinces Cauldron, she still had to rely on the Jiu Provinces Alliance’s power for now.
The current strategy still has to be about finding a way to get the transfer order.
With a mind full of concerns, Ye Lingyue walked out of the county government.
Unexpectedly, the members of the Huangquan Team were already waiting outside.
"Boss, is there any good news again?"
"When can we leave this place?"
"My fists are itching, eager to find some demon beasts to practice on."
The team members questioned one after another, all waiting for Ye Lingyue to announce the specific departure time.
"The transfer order hasn’t come down yet, everyone shouldn’t worry for now. As soon as there’s news, I’ll inform you all."
Ye Lingyue forced a smile.
Her abnormality was noticed by Guangzi.
Everyone was disappointed, but they could see that Ye Lingyue had already tried her best.
"Boss, don’t take it to heart, we were just casually asking."
"Actually, Fang Ah County is quite nice, fresh air, simple folks, it’s a good place to live."
"Lan Feng, Xiao Chuan, let’s spar a bit."
Listening to the obvious words of comfort, Ye Lingyue finally showed a smile.
When the crowd dispersed, Guangzi glanced at Ye Lingyue, noticing the prominent shadows under her eyes, probably from lack of sleep.
"Ling Yue, what’s happened? Is that old ghost inside giving you trouble?"
"Trouble would be an understatement. I just refused his invitation, unwilling to join his camp. My refusal offended him, and leaving Fang Ah County might be difficult."
Facing Guangzi, Ye Lingyue didn’t want to hide anything.
"I see, you don’t need to worry about this, I’ll handle the transfer order."
Guangzi whispered in Ye Lingyue’s ear once he heard her.
After Ye Lingyue listened, she gestured to Guangzi and then handed him something before leaving with relief.
It was merely a Jiu Provinces Alliance elder, as long as Guangzi was involved, success was guaranteed.
After sending Ye Lingyue off, Guangzi straightened his chest and was about to head to the county government.
Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly reached out and stopped him.
"Guangzi, what are you planning to do? I heard everything between you and Sixth Sister-in-law."
Qin Xiaochuan stood before Guangzi like a dark-faced Guan Yu.
"Since you heard, but still stopped me, of course, I’m thinking of ways to obtain the transfer order."
Guangzi replied irritably.
Sister was in trouble, so as her brother, naturally, he would do whatever it takes.
His reason for remaining in female attire after reaching the Human Realm wasn’t due to a penchant for cross-dressing.
It was simply that he found out long ago that different people have different advantages.
For instance, in a previous life, his sister excelled in strategy, he excelled in medical skills, and Ah Ri was good at fighting.
When the three of them were together, they were the "Invincible Iron Triangle" with some fame in the Divine Realm.
Sister had taught him before that dealing with different people required different approaches.
He had secretly observed that even though Elder Jing came to Fang Ah County to "put out fires", he brought along two beautiful concubines, clearly showing he wasn’t a good person.
"You, you actually stoop to this level."
Qin Xiaochuan was furious upon hearing this.
He had felt earlier that Guangzi and Ling Yue seemed off, so he kept it in mind and returned halfway, only to find out that Guangzi, to help Ling Yue, was actually going to...
"Stooped? You said I stooped? You big fool, this is all for everyone, otherwise we’d all be stuck here."
Guangzi glared and shoved Qin Xiaochuan.
"You’re not allowed to go. If anyone goes, it should be me."
Qin Xiaochuan, eyes red, rolled up his sleeves and rushed inside, clearly intent on confronting Elder Jing.
"Hey, come back!"
Seeing Qin Xiaochuan rushing in, Guangzi was annoyed and struck him on the back, inserting a Medical Essence Divine Needle into his acupoint.
Qin Xiaochuan felt numb, unable to move.
Just as he was about to speak again, Guangzi’s hand wiped his throat, he opened his mouth but couldn’t make any sound.
"With your ineptitude, can you do it? Stay here and wait properly."
Guangzi rolled his eyes and headed straight for the county government.
Watching Guangzi disappear, Qin Xiaochuan was worried and angry, but there was nothing he could do to move his body.
"Guangzi... please don’t be harmed."
Qin Xiaochuan recalled, his eyes red, the Primordial Power sealed by the Medical Essence Divine Needle within him remained inactive.
Scenes of disreputable images flashed through Qin Xiaochuan’s mind.
His Adam’s apple kept rolling.
At this moment, his body, the skin shimmering with gold light, suddenly a terrifying flood of Primordial Power erupted from within the Dantian.
With a rumbling sound, the power of the Medical Essence Divine Needle within was unexpectedly blasted apart.
"Guangzi!"
Qin Xiaochuan crossed his long legs and dashed forward like a meteor towards the county government.
Upon rushing ahead, he suddenly bumped into someone, who else but Guangzi?
"Guang..." Qin Xiaochuan was speechless.
"Guang what? Big-headed ghost. Big fool, I told you to stay still... wait, how can you move? You were clearly affected by my..." Guangzi too seemed perplexed, staring at Qin Xiaochuan.
He had sealed Qin Xiaochuan’s acupoint with the Medical Essence Divine Needle, though he hadn’t gone full power for worries of harming him, it should take at least an hour to unseal.
This kid was able to move so quickly—a real anomaly.
"Guangzi, are you alright, that old Elder Jing didn’t take advantage of you?"
Qin Xiaochuan did not hear Guangzi’s muttering at all.
"Take advantage of me? Well, Qin Xiaochuan, did you think I was selling my looks to seduce the old man for the transfer order? Is that what you view me as?"
Upon hearing, Guangzi finally understood why Qin Xiaochuan insisted on stopping him.
"So you didn’t... even though you... is that the transfer order in your hand? Without seducing Elder Jing, how did you get it?"
Qin Xiaochuan saw Guangzi holding an official transfer order from the Jiu Provinces Alliance.
"Fool, could I not secretly buy off Elder Jing’s two concubines to steal the transfer order?"
Guangzi’s so-called "sacrifice" was merely using his Divine Doctor skills to provide Elder Jing’s two concubines with divine formulas for eternal beauty.
No effort was needed to achieve the goal.
"I see, Guangzi, you’re really too clever."
Qin Xiaochuan was thoroughly impressed.
"Shut up, I don’t want to hear you speak. Go notify everyone quickly, let’s leave before being discovered."
Guangzi uttered, urging Qin Xiaochuan to leave this troublesome place quickly.
