Chapter 195: I Promised Qinghe!
A few days later, at the Chizhou Inn.
Having initially completed the mission, Li Xingtian returned to the inn. Looking at the door before him, he did not really want to push it open at this moment.
As expected, tasks like infiltrating and acting as an undercover agent were not something normal people could do.
Especially when one had to infiltrate the bottom of a group of lunatics.
That group of people truly had something wrong with their brains.
Under the influence of Blood Qi, Li Xingtian naturally gained a certain degree of trust, so during this undercover operation, he mostly suffered mental harm.
That group of people had ideas far more unconstrained than Eldest Senior Sister's.
Additionally, Master was really too doting towards Eldest Senior Sister.
Taking a deep breath, Li Xingtian pushed open the room door after all.
He looked over and saw his Master holding a pen and writing something, while Eldest Senior Sister was observing something on a map she had drawn herself.
Li Yingling had sensed Li Xingtian long ago and knew he had stood at the door for a while, probably dissatisfied with the mission arranged this time.
However, this kind of infiltration mission was somewhat thrilling.
If not for her cultivation technique being too majestic and righteous, Li Yingling would have wanted to go herself.
Li Yingling smiled and used spiritual power to manipulate a teacup to offer it forward:
"Second Junior Brother, have some water first. How is the situation?"
"It is acceptable..." Li Xingtian looked at Eldest Senior Sister, who had an eager expression. "The other side is vigilant; I did not go to their stronghold, but I have managed to figure out some information."
"The unfavorable situation of the war in Bingzhou has seriously affected their original plans. They seem to be preparing to accumulate power and cause trouble in Chizhou."
"However, the Black Tortoise Sect is not directly subordinate; it also seems to be entrusted to someone by the Thief, which is similar to the situation in Bingzhou."
Li Yingling's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Her plan was indeed useful.
Hasn't this uncovered quite a lot?
Chu Xingchen nodded lightly upon hearing this and asked: "Did they confirm whether your identity was real or fake?"
Li Xingtian said somewhat reluctantly: "I demonstrated some evil cultivator techniques to them... and that was about it."
Li Yingling heard this and applauded to support him: "As expected of Second Junior Brother, truly amazing."
Li Xingtian glanced sideways at his Eldest Senior Sister... Was she treating him like Qinghe?
Chu Xingchen pursued the question: "Then does the Black Tortoise Sect have any news from the direction of Cangzhou? Do they not plan to do something in Cangzhou?"
"I have not heard of that, but there is something off about the Black Tortoise Sect's side." Li Xingtian said in a serious tone, "Many people over there have abnormal brains."
"Intellectual deficiency is part of it, but it is more of a baffling fanaticism towards the Black Tortoise."
"Moreover, as long as you express respect and worship for the Black Tortoise, they will quickly accept you."
"It feels a bit like being under a strange technique, but I did not discover anything abnormal when investigating."
Li Yingling frowned upon hearing this, pondered slightly for a moment, and then asked: "So, does the Black Tortoise Sect hope for us to do anything?"
"They probably just hope for us to create some commotion at a specific time to draw fire for them." As Li Xingtian spoke, he took out a spatial ring from his bosom, placed it on the table, and said,
"This is the advance payment I asked them for."
Li Yingling took the ring placed on the table, extended her spiritual consciousness into it, and found quite a few Spirit Stones and some materials. At this moment, she sighed with genuine sincerity:
"As expected of Second Junior Brother, truly amazing."
Not only did he obtain intelligence, but he also scammed Spirit Stones and supplies.
No wonder Master said Second Junior Brother was suitable; he is truly suitable. This undercover operation even came with loot.
Chu Xingchen also looked at Li Xingtian with surprised eyes.
Could it be that Li Xingtian is actually suitable for being an undercover agent? This seems a bit too much like a fish in water, right?
"They also assigned a contact person. For whatever help the Evil Spirit Sect needs in the early stages, they can provide some." Li Xingtian reminded them,
"However, I estimate that once their intelligence from the Central Plains returns, and if they figure out clearly that I am not from the Evil Spirit Sect, they probably will not provide anything."
Chu Xingchen stood up upon hearing this: "Then what are we waiting for? Are we not still missing materials for our array base? Hurry and ask them for some."
"When the time comes, we will just return everything to their leader, won't that be fine?"
Li Xingtian, who was used to his Master's style, nodded in agreement. Just as he was preparing to find Li Zhong to ask for things, the room door was kicked open with a foot.
Qinghe's voice, carrying a hint of anger, came:
"What array base materials do you want?! Do you still want to squeeze Qinghe dry?!"
Just as Qinghe finished speaking harsh words, a slender fair hand slapped fiercely onto its small skull.
"Ugh... pain, pain, pain!" Qinghe quickly covered its head, turned around aggrievedly to look at Xie Lingyu behind it, and said,
"How long have you known your old lover? Is it enough to compare to a fraction of the time I have known you?"
"Now it's good, you have an old lover, so you start bullying Qinghe for the sake of your old lover, right!"
Xie Lingyu heard these words and instinctively raised her hand, but then she saw Qinghe's aggrieved little gaze.
She did not really like being teased about an old lover, but looking at Qinghe's pitiful little eyes, she ultimately put her hand down.
Xie Lingyu reached out, grabbed the small horn on Qinghe's head, and walked into the room:
"What kind of nonsense is this? I hit you because you kicked the door; you have no manners at all."
Although Qinghe was dragged into the room by the horn, it still argued stubbornly:
"Hmph! Qinghe is not a fool, Qinghe does not believe it. You have learned bad things from following this kid!"
At this moment in the room, aside from Xie Lingyu, Li Xingtian was the one who had spent the most time with this Flood Dragon.
Li Xingtian could not judge for the moment whether this Flood Dragon was speaking the truth, but this was definitely not what Xie Lingyu liked to hear.
Sure enough, Xie Lingyu let go of the horn on Qinghe's head and said in an unpleasant tone:
"Then I also do not believe you will be able to eat a meal tonight."
Qinghe looked at Xie Lingyu aggrievedly, then pretended not to care, and walked over to Li Xingtian's side.
Previously, she really disliked this kid.
After all, this kid came to supervise her work, and he always liked to use Xie Lingyu to suppress her.
He also liked to nag and tell her to be a bit careful.
But this kid was sometimes quite sensible. Sometimes if she slacked off not too excessively, he would not say anything.
Moreover, every now and then, he would treat her to a meal, and if she wanted desserts, he would satisfy her.
Since this kid left, Xie Lingyu had started supervising her every day.
Xie Lingyu must have learned too many bad things from that kid!
She wouldn't even let Qinghe slack off anymore! She didn't nag much, but when she was impatient, she really would strike!
Being blown up happened less, but receiving Xie Lingyu's fists happened more.
Although it couldn't be considered very painful.
The main thing was that Xie Lingyu was not sensible at all. During these days of work, let alone meals! She wouldn't even give her small desserts.
But with everything, the most feared thing is comparison. Look at that person and look at you.
This kid Li Xingtian suddenly became pleasing to the eye.
So what if she doesn't give me food? There are plenty of people who want to treat Qinghe to a meal!
Qinghe stood beside Li Xingtian and sent a voice transmission to Li Xingtian:
"Good kid! You still remember the meal and desserts you owe me, right? You promised Qinghe!"
Li Xingtian: "..."
With the words you just said, how would he dare treat you to a meal now.
