Chapter 155: You are Hired as the Alien Minister (I)
The whole chamber fell into silence. Luo Jianqing took back his Floating Frost Sword, and a lotus pattern appeared on his forehead. Xuan Lingzi pressed Luo Jianqing’s forehead, and the pattern disappeared suddenly. Luo Jianqing returned back to normal.
By the time things were settled, Luo Jianqing and other people had gone.
Before he left, Luo Jianqing picked up his mushroom bun that had been dropped on the ground and walked to Qiu Shuifu. He looked down at Qiu Shuifu and said emotionlessly, “Since you won’t forgive Mrs. Lin, you should return all the dowry you accepted, then you will be justified to curse her as much as you like.”
Then, Luo Jianqing left, with everyone dumbstruck.
“Tell me my eyes haven’t deceived me!”
“A middle-stage Foundation Establishment should overwhelm the early-stage Gold Core cultivator! That young man must be a genius, a peerless talent! He might not be the native of our kingdom. Maybe he is the elite from some big power, or even from a big sect.”
“My goodness, we’ve just met an elite disciple from a big sect? That’s awesome. Our kingdom is near to the Yu Dao Men Sect, may he come from there?”
“May well, he might even be the select disciple of Yu Dao Men Sect.”
Luo Jianqing didn’t hear these remarks, as he didn’t care about what happened in the chamber at all.
For him, it was indeed inappropriate for Mrs. Lin to break off the engagement and elope with her lover, which made Qiu Shuifu embarra.s.sed. However, it was only an engagement, not true marriage. Besides, Mrs. Lin had apologized in person, and they accepted that, and all the dowry she compensated.
So, both sides reached an agreement on it, they owed nothing to each other.
Now, Qiu Shuifu saw Mrs. Lin return to Sha Du City in a tight corner and thus humiliated her. That went too far.
Zhao Yue apologized all the way, “I didn’t expect that I could encounter Qiu Shuifu in the chamber, and I cast a chill over your day in Wu Dao Chamber of Commerce. I will take you here again the other day.”
Luo Jianqing shook his head with a smile, “You can’t predict that, and you didn’t know he could be so offensive in the public area, so it’s not your fault. We are content with the trip to the chamber, so as the Sha Du City. We are going to leave in several days.”
Zhao Yue was baffled a little bit, “You’re leaving in several days?”
Luo Jianqing nodded, “yes.” Then he turned to his master, “We have some other things to deal with, so we cannot stay here for long.”
Zhao Yue didn’t persuade them to stay, and the three people returned to the mansion of the State Minister.
The sky hadn’t darkened yet. As soon as Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi got back to their yard, they heard clamorous noise.
When there was no danger, Luo Jianqing would restrain his spiritual power himself to Qi Condensation, so he looked like an ordinary person. However, this time Luo Jianqing released his power when he heard the noise and recognized that person.
Luo Jianqing filled his cup and sipped the tea, “The message is spreading more quickly than I have imagined here.”
Xuan Lingzi didn’t reply. He just looked up at Luo Jianqing and took the cup away.
Luo Jianqing didn’t notice Xuan Lingzi’s movement and continued, “Mrs. Lin is not a useless person. She just transferred her spiritual power to the spiritual pearl and harmed her root of cultivation. She has helped in our journey to this kingdom, so why don’t we help her out?”
Xuan Lingzi still didn’t say anything. He just pushed the cup forward.
Luo Jianqing frowned. After a thought, he continued, “But Mrs. Lin only has second-level B spiritual bones, which is even weaker than Rongrong with second-level A spiritual bones. How about this, we help Rongrong enter the cultivation realm. In this way we can repay the favor to Mrs. Lin.”
Xuan Lingzi pushed his cup right in front of Luo Jianqing silently. The twilight shed the light on Xuan Lingzi’s handsome and indifferent face, making him a little bit cold. Luo Jianqing finally noticed his master moving the cup. Luo Jianqing was speechless and filled the cup for Xuan Lingzi.
Then Xuan Lingzi pulled the cup back satisfactorily and took a sip, saying in a low voice, “Great.”
Luo Jianqing said, “Then we can set off tomorrow. This kingdom is literally not fun, but tonight can be sleepless, as the people of this mansion may come for us.”
Xuan Lingzi was tapping the red wood table with his long fingers. He asked casually, “What does it have to do with us?”
Luo Jianqing beamed, “Nothing, actually.”
That night, the news “Luo Jianqing defeat the Gold Core guard with only one move” spread over the mansion of the State Minister and caused a great a great disturbance. Five of the six Gold Core cultivators in the mansion came to their yard, urgent to see that mysterious guy.
Currently, Zhao Yue’s father wore the trousers in this family. He told his daughter, “Cultivator Luo has offended the people of the prime minister. Within the territory of the kingdom, only the royal family, King of the South Sovereignty and we can protect him. Yue, you made a huge mistake that year, now you can make it up. Persuade Cultivator Luo to join our family, become our alien minister, and we can protect him!”
Zhao Yue stood in their way in the yard and said seriously, “Father, uncles, Mr. Luo and Mr. Wu are not from our kingdom. I understand that you want them to join our family and even become your son-in-law, but they are far beyond our reach. They will leave in several days, and they are my guests, so please don’t force them.”
Her father flickered his sleeve angrily, “Ridiculous! How can I force a junior?”
Zhao Yue still blocked them, “Mr. Luo and Mr. Wu hurt Qiu Shuifu and his guard for me, so I will bear the responsibility. Let the people of the prime minister take revenge on me!”
Zhao Tian was even angrier, “Do you know that the grand master of the mansion of the prime minister has reached Nascent Soul? Why does your grandfather do the close-door cultivation? Because the royal family and the mansion of prime minister have their respective Nascent Soul cultivator, but we don’t have any. Cultivator Luo must come from a big sect, the Yu Dao Men Sect maybe. As long as we establish a relationship with Yu Dao Men sect, we don’t have to fear the royal family and the mansion of prime minister anymore. You have to consider for your family!”
