He didn’t tell him everything. When Qin Yi asked about his purpose, he took out a pill and said, “I came today to ask Brother Qin to appraise this pill.”

Qin Yi took the pill. It was a red elixir the size of a ping-pong ball. It had a smooth and crystal-clear appearance. It was hard to hold, but it had a soft feeling. It looked like a ruby, not a pill.

Liu Su snorted secretly, “This is a typical mistake in refining elixirs. This is not how you play external elixir. If one eats this elixir, something bad will happen even if the person is fine.”

“This product contains a lot of metal substances…” In fact, Liu Su didn’t even need to say it. Qin Yi could come to his own judgment, “This kind of elixir can give people a certain degree of excitement, which makes people feel refreshed in the short term, but it is definitely harmful to the human body in the long run.”

Li Qinglin showed a rare look of joy.

It was really rare. Although he often smiled, Qin Yi never thought that was due to happiness. Only the smile that bloomed momentarily made Qin Yi feel that he was very happy.

Such an appraisal actually made Li Qinglin reveal his real emotion. It could be seen how much he valued ​​Qin Yi’s ability to see through Dong Huazi’s elixir.

“Don’t tell me…” Qin Yi wondered, “Your father is swallowing such a big elixir.”

Li Qinglin said helplessly, “He indeed swallowed it. Even my throat hurts just looking at it, but he did it somehow.”

They looked at each other, shook their heads and smiled at the same time.

Qin Yi said, “It’s useless even if you just tell your father my answer like this, right?”

“It’s really useless, but I’m more certain now.” Li Qinglin laughed, “And I confirmed that you can indeed understand some tricks of Dong Huazi. This is very important.”

Including today’s mahogany sword’s automatic hunting of beastkin, Li Qinglin refreshed his understanding of Qin Yi’s methods and became more confident. Qin Yi knew that, but he still asked deliberately, “What if I don’t understand?”

Li Qinglin said nonchalantly, “Then it’s not bad for you to tell Qingjun the monkey story full-time to relieve boredom. I like to listen to it too.”

Qin Yi sighed, threw the elixir back, and asked, “I still don’t know what role you want me to play. If you want me to fight Dong Huazi with spell, I may not be his opponent. After all, I know Dong Huazi too little.”

“Fighting with spell? Maybe, anyway, it won’t be executed so roughly. I will arrange it slowly.” Li Qinglin smiled slightly, “You also need to learn more about Dong Huazi from various aspects first. This is my intention today to come to you today with Ye Ling.”

“What does it have to do with her?”

“Actually, even without your mahogany sword, I planned to reveal her identity to you. Regarding Dong Huazi’s situation, Ye Ling knows better than many people. She can tell you almost everything you want to know.” Li Qinglin’s smile became ambiguous, “So I let her follow you. You really don’t want?”

Li Qinglin’s smile and words always remind Qin Yi of a certain MV he once watched…

The male lead refused; Qin Yi… also refused.

“She is not your servant, is she? Have you asked about her opinion?”

Ye Ling, who had never said a word, suddenly said, “Yes.”

Li Qinglin sighed slightly in his mind. He knew that many of his actions were seen by Ye Ling, and he couldn’t get her sincere submission, so she didn’t even care about his feeling. She was unexpectedly so eager after getting a chance to choose her master.

Of course… Maybe it was also the result of Qin Yi’s behavior of inviting her to a seat just now.

Some things, you might think it’s insignificant, but it might be very important in the eyes of others. Li Qinglin knew how much Qin Yi’s attitude of not looking at beastkin with strange eyes and treating them like a human being touched Ye Ling.

Because in Ye Ling’s short beastkin age, everything she encountered was very dark.

Although he thought so in his heart, he would not show it, but his smile became more and more ambiguous.

He thought Qin Yi would accept it, but Qin Yi said flatly, “No need, a gentleman doesn’t take what others like.”

Li Qinglin coughed dryly, “She’s not my like, just a guard.”

Li Qingjun’s voice suddenly came from outside the door, “Giving guard? Let me see. The guard must be reliable.”

Following the voice, Li Qingjun strode into the door, saw Ye Ling at a glance, and said, “Oh, it’s Ye Ling. She doesn’t talk much and is very quiet, not bad. Qin Yi likes to be quiet. But isn’t she a little young?”

After finishing speaking, she said to himself, “Well, it’s better to be younger…”

Without waiting for Qin Yi’s answer, he sat down on the table and patted Qin Yi’s shoulder, “Just keep it if it’s a gift, why are you being fussy like a woman?”

Qin Yi stared at today’s Li Qingjun dumbfounded.

This was Li Qingjun in women’s clothing.

When she first returned to the capital, she was still wearing men’s clothes. After she settled down to take a shower, she certainly couldn’t continue to wear men’s clothes.

She was dressed in a plain silk dress with a long snow-white skirt and a jade pendant around her waist. She had no makeup on her face. Her long hair was loose with a white flower hairpin to show that someone in the family had passed away. Although compared to other people’s gorgeous costumes, it was just a very simple dress, and there was a meaning of mourning, but she was as beautiful as a blooming flower.

Especially… under the women’s clothing, he thought her cup was A was actually… still A, but she hadn’t grown up yet. Wasn’t she only fifteen?

Qin Yi used to think that Ming He he saw yesterday was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, maybe that was also the buff of the cultivator temperament. Now that he saw Li Qingjun in women’s clothing, her alluring appearance was not inferior to Ming He at all. The heroic aura was even better!

Damn, why can this reckless girl keep improving her beauty level? If she dresses up better next time, wouldn’t she be going to heaven?

The alluring beauty in the crypt flashed through his mind irresistibly, and Qin Yi swallowed subconsciously.

Li Qingjun didn’t think that this guy who never paid attention to her before would swallow saliva because of her, so she thought it was due to Ye Ling. She couldn’t help but contemptuously said, “Still a man with that little bit of virtue. Forget about it. Guard doesn’t warm the bed for you. If you want the girl, do it with your own skill. Hurry up and tell the story of the monkey. I couldn’t sleep thinking about this story last night.”

Do you know which girl I want this time? Qin Yi was dumbfounded, but after all, it was not appropriate to talk about this topic forever, so he changed his mind, “Your brother is talking serious business with me. The story of the monkey takes half a day long. Not suitable for now.”

“The serious business is done.” Li Qinglin sipped the tea with a smile, “I also like listening to the monkey story.”

Originally, he came to Qin Yi with the intention of letting Qin Yi and Ye Ling get in touch. After seeing his attitude, he decided to deal with the foreign cultivator. Now he felt that there was no need to talk about it.

Qin Yi’s attitude was much more interesting than he imagined.

“Okay.” Qin Yi said helplessly, “Stop talking about monkey story, this is called “Journey to the West”. It was written by an old man named Wu Chengen.”

…………

Originally, Qin Yi thought that it was normal for Li Qingjun to like Journey to the West with Li Qingjun’s personality who was very interested in many things, not to mention she immersed herself into the story. Qin Yi didn’t expect that Li Qinglin seemed to be more interested in Journey to the West than Li Qingjun. He listened very carefully. He would question Qin Yi for some small details and even point out some inconsistencies in what Qin Yi said.

Qin Yi almost vomited blood. How the hell one remembers the details of the original text of Journey to the West? It’s okay to tell the story according to my own memory. If you want it to be completely correct, you are simply dreaming!

“I thought you heard the story somewhere, but it seems that you made it up on the spot, and you even used the name Mr. Wu.” Seeing that Qin Yi was speechless under his questions, Li Qinglin laughed, “Not bad, it’s wonderfully made up. Nevermind the beastkins and demons, where did you think about these gods and Buddhas?”

Qin Yi was annoyed, “Do you want to listen or not?”

“Listen!” Li Qingjun glared at his brother, “Don’t interrupt! You just said that Kingdom Chechi arrested the monks, and the monkey went to inquire, then what?”

“Oh, just because 20 years ago, there was a severe drought. When all living beings were in danger, 3 immortals suddenly descended from the sky, cast spells to bestow rain, and saved all living beings. Since then, they had become the State Preceptor…” As Qin Yi spoke, his voice became lower. He noticed that the expressions of Li Family’s brother and sister had changed.

Li Qingjun said displeased, “If you are out of stories, you don’t have to make it up with our South Li Kingdom.”

“…” I bet Dong Huazi also became a State Preceptor by asking for rain? Qin Yi was speechless. He could no longer continue. Wasn’t the spell fights in Kingdom Chechi just what Li Qinglin asked Qin Yi to do?

Li Qinglin leaned on the back of the chair and said leisurely, “Now it’s you don’t interrupt. Why can’t he make up a story with our South Li Kingdom? Brother Qin continues, I still want to hear it.”

Qin Yi said, “What is there to continue, isn’t it just that the monkey won the spell fight with the State Preceptor, and the State Preceptor died.”

“Then? The emperor converted to Buddhism and went to capture taoist?”

“Of course it’s both…”

“Huh?”

“Oh, the monkey taught him to integrate the three religions into one. If he respects monks and taoists, and cultivates talents, the country will last forever.”

“Ha…” Li Qinglin laughed and stood up, “Let’s stop it here today. Thank you Brother Qin for the good story. Just because of the story of this monkey, my trip to Immortal Track Mountain is not in vain.”
