Chapter 204: Enemies on All Sides

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were alone for two hours. Qi Xuansu slowly told Zhang Yuelu what he had experienced during this period. Seeing that Zhang Yuelu was in a good mood, he took advantage of the situation and revealed Qiniang's identity.

In fact, Qi Xuansu also knew that this move was very risky. If one day, the two of them broke up because of something, these secrets would be enough to make him doomed. But he didn't think that the two of them would break up. Since the two of them want to go on, Then it was impossible for him to hide these secrets for a lifetime, so after thinking about it again and again, Qi Xuansu decided to tell the truth.

Because Qi Xuansu still doesn’t know Qiniang’s position in the Qingping Society, he did not reveal Qiniang’s identity in the Qingping Society. He only said that Qiniang is the head of Yao Fang of Qibaofang, and is also the younger sister of the Earth Master. She was Qiniang back then. Rescued him from the assassins of the "Inn" and adopted him as his adopted son.

In this way, it not only indirectly explains his relationship with Yao Pei, but also explains his relationship with Quanzhen Tao.

It makes sense why Pei Xiaolou, Pei Xuanzhi and others would favor him. After all, the relationship between the Yao family and the Pei family lies in that.

After Zhang Yuelu heard this, his reaction was not big, as if he had already guessed and expected it. Maybe she had some guesses as early as when she was at Jinling Mansion, but she didn't confirm it, but waited for Qi Xuansu to take the initiative to say it out.

No wonder Yao Pei said Zhang Yuelu had been deceiving himself.

Zhang Yuelu did not blame Qi Xuansu for her deception. To be fair, Qi Xuansu was willing to tell her the truth about so many secrets. This was a great trust, no less than trusting her with his life.

However, Zhang Yuelu didn't care at all. This indirectly confirmed her guess that Qi Xuansu was deeply influenced by Qiniang.

Zhang Yuelu doesn't care about Yao Pei or Li Qingnu, because she knows that these two people can't exert any influence on Qi Xuansu, but Zhang Yuelu cares about Qiniang very much, because Qiniang, as a foster mother, can not only exert influence on Qi Xuansu , and can even directly interfere with Qi Xuansu's decision.

Zhang Yuelu is not a saint, she also has selfish motives. Although she has no intention of turning Qi Xuansu into a vassal or a yes-man, she hopes that Qi Xuansu can share the same thoughts and ideas with her. She hopes that Qi Xuansu will be on the same path as her. She even had the idea of ​​changing Qi Xuansu after changing Taoism at the beginning, but when she actually implemented it, she encountered great resistance. These resistances did not come from Qi Xuansu himself, but from the person who had never officially Qiniang met Qi Niang, who left too many and too deep marks on Qi Xuansu's body. If she wanted to change Qi Xuansu, she had to erase these marks first.

Perhaps it was a woman's nature, Zhang Yuelu could even feel Qiniang's vague hostility from Qi Xuansu. There was no doubt that Qiniang didn't like Zhang Yuelu's behavior, and she didn't like Zhang Yuelu's attempt to erase the traces left by her. She regarded it as as a provocation.

It's like a tug-of-war with no smoke in sight. When Qi Xuansu saw Zhang Yuelu suddenly fall into silence, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.

No matter how you look at it, Zhang Yuelu and Qi Niang are not the same kind of people. It would be crazy if they could get along. Zhang Yuelu has a strong personality, but Qi Niang is not a soft persimmon. They must be tit for tat.

If there is a conflict between the two, Qi Xuansu will be the one caught in the middle.

Qi Xuansu coughed lightly and said, "Qiniang, you are actually a very nice person."

"To you, it is true, I don't deny it." Zhang Yuelu said, "Just like my mother, to you, she may be a hateful evil person. I also have a lot of dissatisfaction with her, but no matter what, she is still My mother."

Qi Xuansu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

In the Confucian era, the word "filial piety" was emphasized in everything. Naturally, the mother-in-law would make the daughter-in-law unable to breathe. If the daughter-in-law resisted a little, the mother-in-law would knock her unfilial hat off and the daughter-in-law would be destroyed. This is how "many years" came to be. The saying goes that a daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law. But the Taoist sect did not pay attention to this, and the dominance of one family gradually turned into rivalry, so the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became delicate. It was not only Qi Xuansu who faced this problem.

Zhang Yuelu saw Qi Xuansu's embarrassed look and smiled slightly: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back."

After saying that, she got up and left the pavilion and walked to the signing room.

Qi Xuansu followed, a little frustrated.

Zhang Yuelu was very sensible and would not force him to do anything, but he felt that Qiniang was capable of such a thing.

Qi Xuansu patted his head in frustration.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like after Zhang Yuelu and Qiniang met. In terms of realm and cultivation, Qiniang is naturally higher. If Qiniang bullies Zhang Yuelu, then he will naturally help Zhang Yuelu, but if he helps Zhang Yuelu, Qiniang will accuse him of forgetting his mother after having a wife. If this kind of thing is not handled properly, you will be attacked from both sides, and then you will become a different person inside and outside.

"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"

But Qi Xuansu didn't expect that his troubles would go far beyond that.

When the two returned to the deposit room, they saw a young girl who had been waiting for a long time. After seeing Zhang Yuelu, the little girl saluted respectfully: "Senior Sister Zhang."

Then she looked at Qi Xuansu behind Zhang Yuelu: "Is this Senior Brother Qi?"

Zhang Yuelu introduced to Qi Xuansu: "This Junior Sister Xiao is my master's close disciple."

If Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu are already at the end of the eighth generation of disciples, then this girl is almost on the edge of the last year. In a few months, she will be classified as a ninth generation disciple.

Qi Xuansu's heart skipped a beat, but he still greeted Junior Sister Xiao: "What can I do for you, Junior Sister Xiao?"

Junior Sister Xiao smiled slightly: "Master heard that Senior Brother Qi had arrived at Tiangang Hall, so he sent me here to ask if Senior Brother Qi and Senior Sister Zhang are free. If they are free, please go to her place."

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were both a little uncomfortable. Obviously, Master Cihang had known that Qi Xuansu had arrived at Tiangang Hall, but he still reserved time for the two to reminisce and talk.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also knew that he had another trouble coming - from the interrogation of another future mother-in-law, no, it should be scrutiny.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu looked at each other and said, "Of course I'm free."

Junior Sister Xiao said, "Master has been waiting in the signing room for a long time."

Qi Xuansu took a deep breath, and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister Xiao, for leading the way."

Just now he was still thinking about being attacked from both sides. Now he can't handle it well. In a blink of an eye, he will be attacked from three sides. If Tan Taiqiong is included, then there will be enemies on all sides.

No wonder the sages say that family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs are all important.

Under the guidance of Junior Sister Xiao, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu went to the signing room where the head of the hall was. Because the distance was not far, Qi Xuansu had not finished his mental draft, and Junior Sister Xiao had stopped. The door of the signing room was open, and she motioned for the two to go in.

Qi Xuansu walked into the signing room and saw a person sitting in the room. He looked about 30 years old, with compassionate eyebrows and eyes, which made people feel close to him at first sight. He was noble and pure. If he was younger, he would be the fairy figure that many people dream of.

It was the female immortal whom Qi Xuansu had met once at the Cowinbu Lake.

Without waiting for Qi Xuansu to greet her, Immortal Cihang had already taken the initiative to say, "Friend Wei, long time no see, how are you these days?"

The lie was exposed in front of her. Even though Qi Xuansu was already immune to the cold and heat, a few beads of sweat still oozed out of his forehead. He could only pretend to be stupid and respectfully greeted, "Qi Xuansu greets the immortal."

Immortal Cihang was very kind and indicated that there was no need to be polite: "Sit casually, don't be restrained."

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu sat down side by side.

Immortal Cihang looked at Qi Xuansu with a very gentle gaze. There was no sense of oppression like a real thing, nor a sharp feeling like a sword, nor a sense of penetrating people's hearts. It was just an ordinary look, as if she was not a great immortal, but just an ordinary person.

But the more Immortal Cihang did this, the more uncomfortable Qi Xuansu became. He even didn't know what to say, and he forgot most of the previously prepared remarks.

After a while, it was Master Cihang who took the initiative to speak: "There are many suspicious points about your affairs, especially the period after the flying boat crashed. I wanted to send someone to investigate, but soon I couldn't investigate further because Master Donghua was involved. Many files were sealed by Master Donghua's personal order. This makes me more curious. Who are you to have the honor of Master Donghua's visit?"
