Chapter 123: You'll Get Used to It After You've Called Me Many Times
"By the way, Qin...Brother Qin, how old are you this year?" Xiao Qing couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Twenty years old!" Qin Ziling replied indifferently.
"Twenty years old!" Xiao Qing exclaimed in a low voice.
"Any questions?"
"No, I just didn't expect you to be younger than I thought."
"You mean I look older?"
"That's not what I meant!"
"What do you mean?"
"I..." Xiao Qing was speechless for a while. Finally, she couldn't help but glared at Qin Ziling fiercely, stomped her feet and said in a womanly manner: "I have always thought you were older than me, but now you are only twenty years old. The contrast is too big in my heart. I still have to call you big brother, so..."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it if you call me more often!"
Xiao Qing looked at Qin Ziling and was speechless again.
She really couldn't connect the man in front of her with the cold and calm strong man who killed people without blinking an eyelid.
"Okay, let's talk business. You should release Yan'e from the ban first!" Qin Ziling suddenly said seriously.
"She..." Xiao Qing frowned slightly.
"Don't worry, she has decided to be my subordinate." Qin Ziling said.
Xiao Qing looked at Shao Yan'e's enchanting figure and beautiful face, her brows furrowed, looking worried.
"Don't worry, she won't betray me!" Qin Ziling added upon seeing this.
Xiao Qing became even more worried after hearing this.
Qin Ziling couldn't help but secretly curse himself as a fool when he saw this. He was a young man full of vigor and vitality, and he took in such a charming young woman. How could the eldest lady of the Xiao family not have any thoughts and be at ease?
"Don't worry, I have always been a clean person and I don't indulge in women." Qin Ziling said with a serious face, but his mind flashed back to his previous life when he had a girlfriend and he spent his time drinking and carousing in places with bright lights and wine in order to attract business.
"How can I not be confident about what Brother Qin is doing!" Xiao Qing's pretty face flushed slightly, her dark brows relaxed, and then she gently patted Shao Yan'e's waist and other parts a few times to disperse the Qinglong Xuanmu power.
"I have already asked Xu Pengkou about many secrets of Xujiabao. Now I will tell you one by one. You should remember them well. I think you and the Xiao family should know what to do next." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay!" Xiao Qing said solemnly.
Next, Qin Ziling told all the secrets of Xujiabao that he knew, and when he talked about secret passages and some secret strongholds, he even took a branch and sketched on the ground.
After finishing speaking, Qin Ziling asked Shao Yan'e to add some information based on what she knew.
However, Xu Pengjin was the real core figure of Xujiabao, and he knew much more than Shao Yan'e, so Shao Yan'e basically did not add much.
After listening to this, Xiao Qing closed her eyes and thought for a moment. When she opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of excitement and anticipation.
"It seems that you already have some ideas in your mind. From now on, I will not interfere in your affairs. By the way, this is Shao E, a maid from my Qin family. From this moment on, Yan E from Xujiabao is dead!" Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Yes, I understand." Xiao Qing nodded, hesitated and asked: "My initial plan is to unite the Yu family and the Lu family to act together, what do you think?"
"There are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests. Moreover, the three of you are now at a disadvantage. If you unite, you will be strong, but if you separate, you will perish. However, why don't you also bring the people from Guan Gou Mansion with you?
The methods of Guan Goufu are much more sophisticated than those of the warriors. With their cooperation and the information you have, it should be much easier to break through Xujiabao." Qin Ziling said as he handed over a token made of unknown material, on which was engraved an unknown beast and the word "Ling".
"I took this from Bai Xiuqi earlier. It should be his token, and it can be used as evidence that he has been killed."
"That's right. How could I have forgotten that Bai Xiuqi was recently investigating the case of missing boys and girls outside West City? Now he's missing too. Naturally, the collusion between Xujiabao and the remnants of the Blood Demon Cult was exposed, so he killed them to silence them." Xiao Qing blurted out, then gave Qin Ziling a thumbs up and said, "Old people are always the best!"
"No, I'm younger than you." Qin Ziling said.
"You!" Xiao Qing rolled her eyes in embarrassment.
"The opportunity is fleeting. We must act with swiftness and cut the Gordian knot to make it an ironclad case." Qin Ziling turned a blind eye and spoke casually while bending down to pick up Xu Pengjin's body.
"Young master, leave it to Shao E." Shao E, who had changed her name, hurried forward and said.
"Okay!" Qin Ziling nodded and didn't be polite to Shao E.
She is different from Yin Ranyue. She is a person of the world and her hands are stained with a lot of blood. She is familiar with doing these things.
The three men left the cave and restored the cave entrance to its original state.
Shao E stabbed Xu Pengjin several more times and then threw him far away.
The three of them rushed all the way, traveling day and night.
At three o'clock in the morning, Qin Ziling, Shao E and Xiao Qing parted ways outside the West City.
The two went straight to Anhe Village, while Xiao Qing sneaked all the way back to the west city gate.
After returning home, Qin Ziling temporarily placed Shao E in his study.
"I'm afraid you'll have to sacrifice your pretty face for the next few years! I'm now going to teach you a way to put on ugly makeup." Qin Ziling said to Shao E.
"Okay, young master." Shao E bowed slightly.
Qin Ziling nodded, took out some simple makeup tools, and taught Shao E to draw an egg-sized birthmark on the right side of her cheek, and then added some pockmarks on her entire face.
Soon an ugly face appeared in front of Qin Ziling. Although there was no change in the outline, everyone has a dislike for ugliness. The big birthmark and pockmarks would make people look away immediately after taking one look, and they would not be interested in taking a closer look a second time.
This is also a way of disguising oneself and avoiding people's attention, and it is simple and easy.
Shao E was an old hand with experience. After Qin Ziling taught her a little, she got the hang of it. At the same time, she was amazed and impressed.
Because Qin Ziling's makeup techniques used some methods from another world, Shao E thought it was novel and practical.
"From now on, whether you are going out or at home, you will meet people with this face. After a few years, you can restore your original face depending on the situation." Qin Ziling said.
"Don't worry, young master. I understand." Shao E said.
"By the way, how old are you this year?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Master, I'm thirty years old," Shao E replied.
"Thirty years old..." Qin Ziling frowned and said, "Generally speaking, thirty years old is the peak of a person's Qi and blood. If one cannot break through to the Huajin realm at this age, the hope of entering the Bone Refining realm in the future will be much smaller.
Although you are currently at the Yun Jin level, it is still difficult to break through to the Hua Jin level in just a year or two. It seems that I have to find a way to get you some wild exotic beasts as soon as possible, preferably second-grade ones."
Shao E looked at Qin Ziling with her mouth slightly open, a look of shock and surprise.
It was already a surprise that she was able to save her life this time. However, Shao E never expected that her master Qin Ziling would be willing to spend all his money to help her break through, and judging from his intentions, he was ready to do it before she crossed the threshold of thirty years old.
She worked so hard in Xujiabao back then, and the Xu family gave her some help because of her great talent. In fact, many of the meat and medicinal tonic foods were earned by her own hard work.
The contrast between the two is too great!
"Thank you, young master. Shao E is just a miserable person. It is a blessing for me to have the opportunity to serve you in this life. I would never dare to think of anything else." Shao E quickly came to her senses and knelt on one knee with red eyes.
"Since you follow me, I will naturally cultivate you. Moreover, the higher your strength is, the stronger my strength will be." Qin Ziling helped Shao E up and said.
"But hunting and killing exotic beasts is very dangerous!" Shao E said.
"You can stand out among the many orphans in Xujiabao, which shows that you are very talented. So as long as you have enough meat and medicinal herbs to nourish yourself, there is still a good hope for you to reach the level of Hua Jin. As long as you can break through to the level of Hua Jin, I will have a stronger strength, and it is worth taking some risks!" Qin Ziling said.
Shao E moved her lips when she heard this, and wanted to say something, but Qin Ziling waved his hand and said, "Okay, you don't have to think about these. Next, your task is to protect the Qin family, practice, and take time every day to train Liu Xiaoqiang's arms. He originally practiced martial arts with me in the martial arts hall, and then he had an accident, so he followed me.
He is currently a cowhide martial artist. My plan is to have both of his arms break through to the iron level before he can condense his strength. But I rarely have time at home, so I can't help him practice often. I'll leave this task to you."
"Arms made of iron!" Shao E was shocked and surprised when she heard this.
To condense the strength of the iron plates in the arms not only requires a high level of talent, bones, perseverance and comprehension, but also requires a large amount of financial, material and human resources. If it fails in the end, not only will the best opportunity for a breakthrough be missed, but a large amount of financial, material and human resources will also be wasted. Therefore, even large families rarely have such great ambitions and courage.
Unless this big family is really financially strong and its disciples are indeed gifted!
But Shao E was shocked and surprised that Qin Ziling, a low-key and unknown young man in Fangqiao City, had such great ambition and courage.
But soon, Shao E felt relieved.
Qin Ziling has practiced the three paths at a young age, and he is very powerful and calm and composed in his actions. There is no young man in the entire Fangqiao City who can compare with him.
For example, Pang Qiwei's son, Pang Tianpeng, a 27-year-old master of Hua Jin, was considered extremely powerful by Shao E in the past and she was in awe of him. But now, compared with Qin Ziling, Pang Tianpeng is nothing.
Even Xiao Qing, a hidden genius, was considered by Shao E to be far inferior to Qin Ziling.
What's surprising about such a person having such ambition and courage?
"Yes!" Shao E responded quickly and solemnly.
Qin Ziling nodded and said, "Then you should go to bed early. I will introduce my family members to you tomorrow."
After saying that, Qin Ziling returned to his room.
After returning to the room, Qin Ziling finally had time to check the corpse-raising ring.
Inside the corpse-raising ring, the perverted old sex maniac Bai Xiuqi had indeed turned into a mummy. However, to Qin Ziling's surprise, the four-headed beast's wings had been almost restored, and nearly half of its body had turned silver.
"How could it be so fast?" After being surprised, Qin Ziling quickly fell into deep thought.
"Bai Xiuqi is already sixty years old, and he hasn't practiced martial arts. He is definitely not as good as Jiang Yue in terms of Qi and blood. It seems that it is mainly the true power accumulated from his many years of practice that has played a role. Could it be that corpse power is also a kind of true power?
So after the four heads sucked Bai Xiuqi's blood, they transformed the true energy in it? I guess the flesh and blood of a Qi Refiner can be used as bait for strange beasts, which should also be related to the true energy flowing in the body of the Qi Refiner. "
After Qin Ziling thought about it for a while, he simply stopped thinking about it because there was no way to verify it.
Anyway, he would only use this kind of magical method of improving the realm of zombies occasionally when the situation was urgent and he had no choice, or when the other party was an unforgivable criminal. Normally, even if he really killed a Qi Refiner, he would not use him to cultivate zombies. Otherwise, if he did it too much, he would sooner or later fall into the magic path.
So if you can't figure it out, it's useless to think too much.
After putting the matter aside, Qin Ziling began to search him.
