Chapter 518 - 0312 Dodder (2-in-1)

Following is also part of a spy’s responsibilities.

Xu Chang’an heard this, frowned slightly, and did not directly agree.

It’s not that he is unwilling to help look after Liu Qingluo, but rather that Xu Chang’an does not know Liu Qingluo well.

He only knows that Yun Qian has seen her on Muyu Peak, but Xu Chang’an did not see Liu Qingluo’s name in the records of Muyu Peak, so this Miss Liu is most likely just someone brought to Muyu Peak by Gu Qiancheng.

She should be a disciple of Tripod Heart Peak.

Xu Chang’an himself doesn’t have much capability; his reputation only carries weight at Muyu Peak, Hundred Herbs Garden, and Celestial Bright Peak. How could he help keep an eye on Liu Qingluo?

Celestial Bright Peak was originally because he had a close Junior Master Qin there, but now Qinling has been pushed out of the inner circle by those in power, spending his days at home playing with cats, feeling sorry for himself, and missing his lover.

Muyu Peak...

He seems popular, but most of those ladies are only friendly with him out of consideration for Wen Li. The only ones he truly has a good relationship with are the female cultivators in the Three Officials Rock area, after all, he is in charge of that place on a daily basis.

So it seems that, even though he is a steward of Muyu Peak, the place where he holds the most influence is actually Hundred Herbs Garden?

Therefore, Xu Chang’an didn’t directly agree with Zhu Pingniang because that would be the responsible thing to do. After all, his identity and status are there, and he doesn’t have the time to care about Liu Qingluo’s situation. Even if she’s being bullied on Tripod Heart Peak... he wouldn’t know.

Moreover...

"Ms. Zhu, with Miss Gu around, Miss Liu shouldn’t have to worry, right?" Xu Chang’an said.

Gu Qiancheng would never let anyone bully Liu Qingluo.

"Didn’t I say, that girl Qian Cheng is brainless, just like her Second Lady." Zhu Pingniang clicked her tongue: "Expecting anything from her is like expecting Qingluo to be devoured and hiding under the quilt crying, and she would go and ask if Qingluo was hungry."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

"By the way, her Second Lady is my Ah Zi." Zhu Pingniang spread her hands: "I know the temperament of this mother and daughter too well. They can’t be relied on. When it comes to being meticulous, I only trust you... After all, you manage things well at Muyu Peak. Chang’an, you’re even more meticulous than a woman. With you there to assist, if she suffers any grievance, you will definitely be able to see it."

She pointed at Xu Chang’an with a helpless expression and earnestly said, "I entrust the girl to you, and I’m at ease."

Xu Chang’an: "..."

"I’m complimenting you, and you don’t seem happy to hear it." Zhu Pingniang looked at Xu Chang’an with dissatisfaction.

"Ms. Zhu, your way of complimenting is truly unique." Xu Chang’an covered his face with one hand, then raised his head: "That being said, Miss Liu is at Tripod Heart Peak, and on ordinary days... I have no interaction with her."

"Tripod Heart Peak?" Zhu Pingniang blinked: "That’s also my territory; how come I don’t know about this matter."

Tripod Heart Peak is now the main base of the Hehuan Sect; it’s the territory of her brainless Ah Zi, Gu Qiancheng’s Second Lady...

She hadn’t received a single piece of news regarding an Immortal Talent from over there.

The fact is, Gu Qiancheng is doing a great job keeping secrets, and now only the higher-ups of Muyu Peak know the true talent of Liu Qingluo.

Seeing Zhu Pingniang’s bewildered expression, Xu Chang’an’s eyelids twitched slightly.

Muyu Peak and Tripod Heart Peak are both her places.

But Xu Chang’an always felt that, in Zhu Pingniang’s eyes, such a large cultivation holy land could not compare to her acre of brothel territory.

Zhu Pingniang glanced at Xu Chang’an hesitantly and spoke.

"Chang’an... nevermind, it’s normal."

Zhu Pingniang came back to her senses, thinking that Xu Chang’an truly has no clue about Liu Qingluo’s movements after going up the mountain...

Indeed, with Miss Yun having just ascended the mountain, naturally, he wouldn’t be distracted by a stranger.

Given Zhu Pingniang’s understanding of the old women on Muyu Peak, a good seedling like Liu Qingluo is most likely going to be kept at Muyu Peak.

Although Muyu Peak is now independent from the Hehuan Sect, forming its own faction, and there aren’t as many intrigues, unlike other peaks standing behind various sects, vying for disciples for their own benefits...

But who would嫌弃弟子’s cultivation is too high?

Hmm.

Zhu Pingniang thought the main thing is, Liu Qingluo is under her charge, so she naturally has to stay at Muyu Peak.

And once she stays, one has to think about who is suitable to be Liu Qingluo’s Guide.

So the question arises.

Among the juniors of Muyu Peak now, who is qualified to be called the Guide of Immortal Talent?

The answer, besides that pear blossom... is there any other choice?

Not to mention the uproar caused at Muyu Peak by Wen Li becoming Yun Qian’s guide; just with Xu Chang’an’s close relationship with Wen Li, with Wen Li teaching Liu Qingluo cultivation... Xu Chang’an will naturally see her often in the future.

Therefore, it seems there is already an invisible line between Xu Chang’an and Liu Qingluo, something that will just naturally happen without any scheme.

There is no second option.

Liu Qingluo will definitely remain at Muyu Peak, and can only be led through the door by Wen Li.

"That hopeless Liu girl can refuse a thousand times, ten thousand times, but she ultimately can’t escape." Zhu Pingniang sighed: "Could it be what’s called the careless planting of willows?"

Sometimes she really thinks there is such a thing as destiny, tying a marriage line to a woman’s little finger that can’t be avoided no matter what.

Xu Chang’an listened to the sound of rain in silence, after all, it’s not the first time that Zhu Pingniang’s conversation with him has suddenly gone off track.
