Chapter 690: Chapter 350: Inside Are My Concubine and Bedroom Maid
These Golden Snake Guards suddenly intruded, without any greeting, and rushed into various rooms in the courtyard.
A few of them saw the door to Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan’s room was closed, their expressions instantly turned grim:
"Why is this room still closed during the day? There must be something wrong!"
These few men headed straight towards the room!
At this moment, Liu Su was using the Mist Spirit Bathing Technique to heal Mo Xiaolan’s injuries. If interrupted, not only would her privacy be compromised, but Mo Xiaolan’s injuries could also worsen.
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes turned cold, and her figure instantly appeared in front of those Golden Snake Guards. With a wave of her hand, they cried out and were knocked away.
The remaining Golden Snake Guards all drew long knives, surrounding Qiu Zhihe.
"This is the West Imperial City; even Zhenyang Sect disciples must pay a price for assaulting Golden Snake Guards!"
Qiu Zhihe said disdainfully, "With just you?"
The leading Golden Snake Guard was furious, "Attack!"
"Stop!"
Qin Gengyun and others entered, Yue Leng shouted:
"I am Ye Xiyue, the Xiyue Peak Master of Zhenyang Sect. Why do you dare to intrude on the residence of Zhenyang Sect’s disciple?!"
Ye Xiyue’s name carried some weight, and the Golden Snake Guards immediately stopped but did not lower their knives, still surrounding Qiu Zhihe.
The leading Golden Snake Guard said, "So it’s Fairy Ye. We are here under the order of the Empress to search Chang’an Palace; please do not make things difficult for us."
Yue Leng’s voice was cold, "Search? For what reason?"
The Golden Snake Guard leader said, "I cannot tell you that, Fairy Ye, please cooperate... Ah!"
A scream rang out, and the Golden Snake Guard leader and over ten of his men fell to the ground, Qiu Zhihe withdrew her hand, looking calm.
"You dare to attack us? This is the West Imperial City!"
The Golden Snake Guard leader spat blood, pointing at Qiu Zhihe in disbelief, shocked and afraid.
These cultivators had at least mid-period Golden Core cultivation, yet were defeated by this woman in an instant without any resistance.
Even if Ye Xiyue personally intervened, she might not be able to do the same, could she?
What kind of person is this woman?
"Wow?!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er were shocked.
This is the West Imperial City, and Junior Sister Ruo dared to attack the Golden Snake Guard; is she not afraid of sparking a conflict between Zhenyang Sect and the West Imperial Dynasty?
Moreover, even though others stopped, she showed no mercy, as expected... of Demon Sect people!
The others were used to being with Qiu Zhihe for a long time, not surprised, as Qiu Zhihe walked to the Golden Snake Guard leader, coldly speaking:
"Now you can tell me why you want to search Chang’an Palace?"
"How dare you! Ah!" The Golden Snake Guard leader just reprimanded before Qiu Zhihe pointed a finger, and a cold spiritual power infiltrated his body, causing him to scream miserably.
"I’ll talk, I’ll talk!"
Only then did Qiu Zhihe withdraw the spiritual power, the Golden Snake Guard leader’s face turned pale, and he hurriedly revealed:
"Last night, our Golden Snake Guard’s Commander Si Mingcheng died tragically, only discovered today. The Empress was furious and ordered a thorough investigation."
"Commander Si’s cultivation wasn’t low, with few capable of killing him. Recently, only cultivators attending the Immortal Ascension Ceremony arrived in West Imperial City."
"Besides Chang’an Palace, the Wind Snow Pavilion where Loose Cultivators reside is also being searched."
Qiu Zhihe’s eyes slightly narrowed, Fang Xue’s face changed.
Sister Si had already returned to Wind Snow Pavilion and was likely being searched by Golden Snake Guard now.
If her identity were discovered...
"Hahaha, turns out it’s all a misunderstanding." Qin Gengyun stepped forward, helping the Golden Snake Guard members up, stuffing each with two pieces of Spirit Marrow, smiling:
"We are Zhenyang Sect disciples, and are unrelated to your Commander. How could this involve us?"
The Golden Snake Guard had just been dealt a blow, now faced with kind treatment, utterly confused, the Golden Snake Guard leader glanced timidly at Qiu Zhihe, reluctantly saying:
"This Immortal Master has a point, but we are also following orders, and the room in your courtyard is tightly closed. If we do not look inside, it will be difficult to explain when we return."
"Taoist Friend, can we have a word." Qin Gengyun gave him two more pieces of Spirit Marrow, pulling the Golden Snake Guard leader out of the courtyard, whispering:
"To be honest, in that room is my concubine and bedroom maid, things were intense last night and they’re still sound asleep, so it’s not convenient for outsiders to see them, hence my wife just wanted to stop you."
"Concubine, bedroom maid, wife..." The Golden Snake Guard leader looked bemusedly at Qin Gengyun:
"All yours?"
Qin Gengyun smiled and cupped his hands, "Indeed, I neglected to inform you, Taoist Friend, I am He Zhiqiu, disciple of Divinity Transformation Peak of Zhenyang Sect."
"Oh my! Scoundrel He Zhiqiu?! No wonder!"
The Golden Snake Guard leader nearly jumped, pointing at Qin Gengyun, enviously.
Qin Gengyun’s expression darkened slightly; as expected, mentioning He Zhiqiu’s name garnered such reactions.
The Golden Snake Guard leader also realized his improper reaction, laughed awkwardly:
"So it’s Immortal Master He, now I understand, sorry for the inconvenience. Please continue, carry on!"
He then called his men and left the courtyard, running back a moment later, his face full of gossip as he asked Qin Gengyun:
"Immortal Master He, where does Fairy Ye rank in your room?"
"I am also his bedroom maid, specifically for massaging the head wife’s feet." Qin Gengyun hadn’t answered yet when Yue Leng appeared behind the Golden Snake Guard leader, speaking blandly.
He turned fearfully, only to see Fairy Xiyue seemingly smiling, quickly adding:
"Sorry, Fairy Ye, I spoke too much, goodbye!"
After he’d run away, Yue Leng giggled, holding Qin Gengyun’s arm, "Master, I’m just telling the truth, why doesn’t he believe it?"
Qin Gengyun shrugged her hand off, looking stern, "Taoist Friend Si must have returned to Wind Snow Pavilion by now, likely encountering the Golden Snake Guard."
Fang Xue also stepped forward, her face full of worry, "Sister Si’s personality, will likely conflict with the Golden Snake Guard, if her identity is exposed, it’ll be bad!"
Qiu Zhihe suddenly turned to Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er, "You two go and check the situation at Wind Snow Pavilion."
The two were abruptly named, their faces instantly blank, pointing dumbly at their noses, "Us?"
Qiu Zhihe said, "Don’t you always like to eavesdrop on secrets? If you don’t go, then you’ll be silenced!"
"Ah! No, we’ll go, we’ll go! Wailing!"
The two of them ran out crying.
Qiu Zhihe instructed Liu Xiaotang to buy herbs, Liu Xiaotang understood and went out to find Xue Wen and Xue Wu.
A stick of incense later, Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er hurried back:
"Something went wrong, something went wrong!"
"A fight broke out, a fight broke out!"
Fang Xue’s expression tightened, she stepped forward quickly, "Third Sister really fought with the Golden Snake Guard?"
"Not with the Golden Snake Guard, but with... the Western Empress!"
