Chapter 734: Xiaohuar

    

ts wouldn't be too intelligent, and even at level eight, they were only comparable to the intelligence of a young boy.Although he was angry and doubtful, he dared not be the slightest bit careless.All...Fāng Chén heard this and wasn't surprised, but still showed an expression of astonishment.

"Oh Why is that"

Xiaqing'er said cautiously, "Because I feel something is off about this City Lord's Mansion!"

"What's wrong"

Fang Chen asked.

Xia Qing'er stared at Fang Chen and said, "Didn't you notice, Fang Xiaoyou, that those maidservants are not right"

"Strange Where is it strange" Fang Chen feigned confusion, shaking his head.

He asked again, "Did you find something amiss"

Little Qinger shook her head: "Not for now, but I feel a little strange. Even Lord Qi City Master seems to be feeling uneasy."

"I heard that you seem to have no interest in these maids. I thought you had discovered something amiss and came to find you."

"This is it

"

Fang Chen helplessly sighed, hesitated for a long time before saying: "Don't laugh at me, fellow daoist. Actually, it's not that I don't want to, but I dare not. In fact, I have a wife, who is the young miss of a family, and I am her husband by marriage. My wife is very domineering, stronger than me in cultivation, and also has a hot temper."

Speaking of this, he felt a little embarrassed, but he still said: "Don't laugh at me, I did have feelings for her before, but when I thought of that tigress..."

Xiao Qing'er looked at Fang Chen in astonishment, then after a moment burst into laughter: "I didn't expect fellow Daoist to be afraid of his wife.

Fang Chen awkwardly scratched his head.

Xiao Qing'er said, "Master Daoist, haven't you noticed anything unusual"

Fang Chen shook his head and said, “What could be unusual If fellow Daoist truly discovered something, you can tell me first.”

However, I think Lord Qi is a kind person and wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics.

Moreover, the gathered individuals are powerful figures from all walks of life, many of whom have strong backing forces. Even though Lord Qi Cheng is the ruler of Xi-class city, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly, would he

Seeing Fang Chen so sincere, Xiaohua also believed him.

I guess I was overthinking it. Well, in that case, I won't bother you any further.

Today's events, you should consider as if I never came. Tomorrow when we meet, I won't mention this again.

Xia Qing'er said.

Okay

Fang Chen nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Qing'er stayed no longer and left Fang Chen's residence.

Fang Chen also saw the other party off as they left, and only then returned to the room.

When Fang Chen returned to his room, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cautious enough

"

When Xiaohuang curtsied, Fang Chen realized something was amiss.

Xiao Qing'er previously performed the greeting of bowing with both hands, rather than the customary curtsey used by women.

It's obvious that this is a fake identity created by the other party, and their purpose is naturally to test me.

What shocked him the most was that neither Xia Ling nor his divine magic eye could see through the other's disguise.

"That must be a puppet!"

Fang Chen could be sure, and immediately his mouth twitched upwards.

"Interesting, very interesting. If one could master this puppetry technique, wouldn't that be a huge windfall"

As Fang Chen guessed.

After Xiaoqing and the two maids walked out, after passing a corridor, her body was like sand grains flowing, quickly changing into a maid.

But in the corridor there was a pavilion, Qi Ruoxin was leisurely drinking tea there.

How are you

Qi Ruoxin asked the way.

The maidservant replied, "No problems were found."

She recounted Fang Chen's words one by one. When she heard that the other party was afraid of love, his face showed a strange expression, and then he sneered: "It turns out to be a person with lust but no guts. His father thinks highly of him. But since there is no problem, it's fine. All of you, withdraw."

"It is

All the maidservants responded and bowed before retreating.

"It seems this person is nothing to be afraid of. I'd better go back and tell my father."

After he finished the last glass of wine, he didn't stay any longer.

Day seven, night.

Today is the depth of winter, and now outside it is covered in a thick blanket of snow. The earth is draped in a layer of white.

Of course, this chill meant nothing to a cultivator like Xiu Fangchen.

When he arrived in the hall, everyone had already gathered and was chatting with each other.

Xia Qing'er was naturally there, but she didn't join the crowd. She remained indifferent to everyone's attempts to strike up a conversation with her.

Seeing this scene, no one dared to come forward and make a fool of themselves.

But when she saw Fang Chen, her eyes lit up, even she herself didn't know why.

Perhaps it was because the other party, like her father, was also a curse breaker, which made her feel strangely close to them.

She waved and shouted, "Fang Dao-you!"

Fang Chen also noticed the other party and returned the salute: "Qing'er Daoist friend, long time no see."

Xia Qing'er smiled and said, "Indeed, it's been a long time. I wonder how our friend Fang Xiao has been these past seven days Is the maid serving you well"

She glanced at Min'er behind Fang Chen.

Fang Chen merely nodded slightly upon hearing this: "It's not bad."

As for whether or not there were maids attending to her, he did not elaborate further. He just felt even more certain that the girl from yesterday was not truly Xiao Qing'er.

Although there is no difference between them, yesterday's Xiaohua would never have said such a thing.

Upon hearing Fangchen speak in this manner, Xiaohua no longer muttered under her breath as she had before.

She and Fang Chen were just acquaintances, having met by chance. Her previous displeasure stemmed solely from her resentment toward those who treated women as commodities.

But she also understood that without strength and status, a woman was just like this.

Or perhaps those without strength or status are all like this, and men might even be more tragic, because handsome appearance makes them vulnerable to being abused by powerful figures with homosexual desires. This is something that often happens.

Before the two could say a few words, Qi Jie and Qi Ruoxin walked out from behind the screen.

Seeing everyone already gathered, Qi Jie smiled and said, “I wonder how everyone has been these past few days”

Of course, thank you for your hospitality, Lord Qi.

Thank you, Lord Mayor.

Everyone expressed their gratitude.

"Master of Qi City, this maidservant should be given to me. "

"Lord of Qi City, I also want this maidservant."

Qi Jie smiled and said, "You guys can take them away. As I said, just take whatever you like."

"Master Xie of the City"

Those people were overjoyed and thanked each other one after another.

Qi Jie said: "Alright everyone, now it's time to get down to business."

The smith asked Xiu, "I wonder where in Qicheng this treasure is primarily forged."

Qi Jie replied: "This treasure is rather special and also somewhat dangerous, so it cannot be refined within the city. I have already chosen a location, deep inside Tiandong Mountain, seven hundred li outside the city."

"Tiandong Mountain"

Xiū nodded: "That place is indeed good. It's surrounded by mountains in the west, like a naturally formed furnace, making it an excellent place for refining tools."

"Would it be dangerous outside After all, refining treasures easily attracts the attention of other forces," someone worried.

The Spirit Sea Triple Heavens isn't much in the Tiannan Domain, and there are many cities like Xi-Ji City. It would be really troublesome if someone really targeted you.ss gracious!
