Chapter 317: A Rather Pleasant Chat (Thanks to Cloudy Captain for the Alliance)
Chapter 317: A Rather Pleasant Chat (Thanks to Cloudy Captain for the Alliance)
Shen Yi had more in mind than just asking A Qing to take care of Qingzhou.
According to his plan, the Xu Clan needed a safe haven, and Da Qian, with its vast territory, was struggling to manage it all.
These two could complement each other perfectly.
A Qing's expertise in array formations truly impressed Shen Yi.
This was a trial run.
He wanted her to understand the challenges Da Qian faced and see if she could devise an initial plan.
If successful, it could be quickly implemented in the remaining states.
If Da Qian could achieve true stability, it would have enough incense fire wish power to sustain his golden body.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I won't stay long," Shen Yi said, glancing at the crowd.
The few who knew him best unconsciously opened their mouths to speak but refrained from trying to keep him.
The situation that gave the Commander of the Armies a headache was, to Shen Yi, a mere flick of his hand away from resolution.
A Qing was now the Inspector General of Da Qian, no longer just responsible for Qingzhou. The tasks he undertook were beyond the involvement or comprehension of Shen Yi and his companions.
"You take care, too," Chen Qiankun said with a bitter smile, looking at the Demon-Slaying General of Linjiang Prefecture he had personally appointed.
Other than this brief exchange, he had no way to further assist him.
"Don't worry," Shen Yi said with a slight nod, then rose into the sky on the Crimson Cloud.
The Xu Clan members briefly explained the situation to A Qing before following in their flying vessel.
Da Qian seemed to be in trouble, but with only an Upper Realm Fox Demon present, and it had been easily dealt with by Shen Yi, the area was likely safe.
As their figures disappeared from sight, A Qing withdrew her gaze, feeling a little lost. She suddenly realized she was surrounded by a group of people.
Her face flushed, and she took a few awkward steps back, "You guys..."
The Demon-Slaying Generals coughed embarrassingly.
Shen Yi hadn't revealed much about this young lady's identity.
In the end, Lin Baiwei pushed through the crowd and stood before A Qing, speaking softly, "We used to be Shen Yi's...colleagues."
Hearing 'Brother Shen,' A Qing relaxed, and she clasped her hands in respect, "I'm Brother Shen's little assistant, striving to become his marriage partner."
"Marriage partner?"
Lin Baiwei was taken aback, and even the old-timers like Chen Qiankun were left stunned.
The phrase "striving to become" was particularly confusing to them.
Could such a thing be achieved through effort?
"Ahem."
You Longtao stepped forward, waving his hand to disperse the crowd, "What are you all gawking at? Go on, get back to work."
He realized that his brother Shen had befriended some extraordinary people, likely from a powerful external force.
Such beings demanded utmost seriousness.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit helpless. Shen's personality was such that he didn't explain things clearly, and if they offended these people without understanding them, the consequences would be dire.
A Qian glanced at Lin Baiwei, who was still awkwardly clenching her fist, and then at the adorably clueless A Qing. Suddenly, she opened her mouth and laughed silently.
"Let's go, let's go," she said, waving her hand and skipping out of the courtyard.
True to form, Shen Yi's presence always brought swift resolution to any problem.
"And you?" You Longtao asked, turning to his junior sister.
"I...I want to chat with her," Lin Baiwei finally unclenched her fist. She was more curious about what Shen Yi had been up to during his absence than the marriage proposal.
The situation was somewhat similar to what he had envisioned in his dreams.
You Longtao hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Then be careful with your words."
He felt more at ease with this junior sister, who seemed to be around the same age as this young lady. Having his junior sister approach Qingzhou on his behalf was a good choice.
After all, they should have the same interest in Shen Yi.
"I understand," Lin Baiwei smiled and led A Qing into a room.
She gently closed the door, "This is where he used to stay."
A Qing looked at the spotless furnishings and carefully touched the bed frame with her palm, exclaiming in surprise, "Wow, it's so clean!"
Her eyes darted around, and she feigned nonchalance, "Did you clean it, sister?"
Lin Baiwei shifted her gaze awkwardly to the side, "Actually, I used to be quite busy, but after he came along, Qingzhou suddenly became so quiet that I had too much free time."
As she spoke, she suddenly stumbled over her words, "Is Shen Yi doing well out there?"
Hearing this, A Qing suddenly became spirited, forgetting the previous test, and chattered on about everything she had seen.
Mystic Light Cave, Zheng Family, Demon Sovereign, Thousand Demons Grotto...
These terms were all so unfamiliar to Lin Baiwei.
But within them, the name "Big Brother Shen" frequently appeared.
She sat quietly in the chair, listening attentively without saying a word, imprinting every sentence into her mind.
Lin Baiwei needed these details to make the scenes in her wild imagination more realistic.
A Qing talked until her mouth was dry, then wiped away the non-existent dust on her body before sitting down on the bed, curious, "Sister, what did Big Brother Shen do when he was in Qingzhou?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Baiwei was stunned for a long time before finally revealing a faint smile, "He..."
In her soft voice, the cramped room in Baiyun County slowly and vividly appeared in A Qing's mind.
The events were not as thrilling as A Qing's narration, but almost every detail felt so real.
A constable, with a sword at his waist, walked step by step into Qingzhou, and then headed to the imperial capital.
As night fell, Lin Baiwei pushed open the door and saw several fellow disciples gathered outside the courtyard.
You Longtao transmitted his voice, "How's the conversation going?"
"I think it's going well..." Lin Baiwei glanced over as well.
Hearing this, You Longtao heaved a sigh of relief, "What's her name?"
"Er..."
Lin Baiwei shook her head blankly.
Fang Heng and Bai Zuming twitched their lips... Was this considered a good conversation?
The young officer guarding the courtyard glanced discreetly at the group.
Chen Ji adjusted the sword hanging at his waist.
He felt that these elders were making a mountain out of a molehill.
Given Lord Shen's habits, those who could become his friends wouldn't be the type with arrogant and unruly personalities.
The person inside must be a gentle and kind young lady.
At this moment, a crimson demon cloud led the way, followed closely by an ancient flying vessel.
They traversed the night sky.
Below them lay the prosperous and vast Li Prefecture.
At this moment, on that small hill, the atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
Around a dozen Yin Spirits hovered in the air, each of them Upper Realm Martial Immortals.
Among them, there was even one carrying a golden pearl.
And behind them, a three-zhang-tall Yamcha Manifestation illuminated the night sky with dazzling gold.
