Glancing at Lingsu standing in the courtyard, Qin Changqing laughed and said, “How has Sister Qingning been doing recently?”

“Hmm.” Qingning nodded, “I had some insights on Tianti Road and am about to enter the Five-striped Golden Elixir Realm. Unfortunately, something unexpected happened back then, otherwise, I could have used the willpower of Tianti Road to break through from five-striped to the Golden Elixir and enter the Nascent Soul Realm.”

In the past, everyone would deliberately suppress their cultivation level and use Tianti Road to break through by chance.

It was the same this time, and many Golden Elixir Peak cultivators broke through also.

Like Qingning and others, they originally planned to make a breakthrough at the final step of Tianti Road, but unexpectedly, Tianti Road suddenly exploded.

“I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.”

“I didn’t blame Brother Qin.” Qingning smiled slightly, “This is fate, and perhaps my chance to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm is not on Tianti Road. Missing it is no longer worth insisting on. I will go into closed-door cultivation in due course.”

What a nice sister!

It’s such a pity that she didn’t join the Qin family.

Qin Changqing planned to put more effort after Qingning completed her closed-door cultivation, so as not to waste the painstaking effort of the Sect Leader to let him come to Taixuan Peak.

“Congratulations to Sister Qingning for breaking through successfully in advance.”

After saying goodbye to Qingning, Qin Changqing returned to the courtyard and found Lingsu still standing quietly.

“Feel free to sit.” Qin Changqing smiled, “Don’t be so polite. Just treat this place as your own home.”

Lingsu remained silent and didn’t say anything.

“This way is no fun. Since you can’t escape anyway, why torment yourself? What’s that saying? If you can’t resist, enjoy it to the fullest. At least you’re safe with me.”

Lingsu spoke, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll find a way to kill you?”

“No fear.” Qin Changqing said. “Why? Are you not afraid of dying?” “I’m afraid of dying, but you can’t kill me. If you want to kill me, you’ll die first, and you don’t want to die.” Qin Changqing sat down beside the tea table, poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them to the opposite seat, and smiled, “On Tianti Road, although I forcibly confined you with an Array Formation, you’ve practiced soul-related Divine Power, which would have allowed you to commit suicide if you had really wanted to. However, you didn’t.”

“In your line of work, you should have planned ahead before carrying out the mission. If you had been determined, you would have committed suicide at the first opportunity. Since you didn’t, it means that you still have attachment to life and couldn’t let go.”

Lingsu’s eyes flickered slightly. She pursed her lips and then sat down.

“You’re right. I don’t fear death, but I don’t want to die.”

Qin Changqing laughed loudly, “You don’t want to die, and I don’t want to die either. Since both of us don’t want to die, why should we fight to the death? It’s better to sit down, have some tea, and chat.”

Lingsu drank the tea but refused to provide any information about her organization.

“In fact, I never thought you’d tell me anything. I’m not really interested in those things. Whether it’s advancing in the Sect or stepping on Tianti Road, it’s all meaningless to me.”

“You don’t have to play with me.” Lingsu said indifferently, “You want to know about my organization, but I won’t tell you.”

“No, no, I didn’t mean that… You should know that, in your situation, you can’t really survive. Even if I can’t get any information from you, we can’t let you go. You’re alive now thanks to my pleading.” Qin Changqing took a sip of tea and spoke calmly.

“I want to kill you, so why save me?”

“It’s because I like you, of course.”

“I don’t have any other interests, but I do love beautiful girls.” Qin Changqing smiled and said with an honest expression, “I like you very much. How about staying with me as a Taoist couple?”

Lingsu was stunned.

She thought about it. Lingxiao Sect didn’t kill her, which must be because they wanted to get some clues from her.

Even if Qin Changqing helped her, it must have been part of some plan, or he had other motives. In any case, it couldn’t have been out of kindness.But Lingsu never expected Qin Changqing to use such an excuse.

He’s so shameless!

He actually said it so naturally!

“Do you think I would believe that?” Lingsu coldly said, “If you want to humiliate me, then you have succeeded. But even if you kill me, I won’t tell you anything!”

“Can you stop being so violent?” Qin Changqing said helplessly, “I’m a gentleman, and a gentleman prefers to persuade rather than use force.” “You? A gentleman?” Lingsu sneered, not seeing it. Although she did feel a unique charm in Qin Changqing, his previous words proved that he was definitely not a gentleman.

Moreover, for cultivators, one could risk their lives for martial arts skills or treasures, but to say love – perhaps it could happen between deep-rooted Taoist Couples. How long had Qin Changqing known her? Be fond of her? Not to mention that she came to kill Qin Changqing, if this isn’t humiliating, what is it?

“What? You don’t believe it? But it is a fact, as long as you agree, we will have the wedding on a chosen day.”

Lingsu frowned slightly, is this guy sick? Will he really do it?

“What if I don’t agree?”

“Then, you can only die.”

Lingsu was taken aback and then sneered, “Is this what you call affection?”

Qin Changqing shrugged, “What else could it be? I used this excuse to save you from the Sect Leader, and if you don’t agree, the Sect Leader will surely kill you for safety.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you?”

Qin Changqing chuckled lightly, “Why wouldn’t my genuine heart touch you?”

At the corner of Lingsu’s mouth twitched, looking at him like an idiot.

She thought that Qin Changqing must’ve gone crazy from cultivation.

Would she fall in love with Qin Changqing?

This doesn’t make any sense!

However, this is indeed an opportunity.

She doesn’t want to die, and without any special reasons, she just doesn’t want to die. Nascent Soul, Incarnation, and Void Refinement… her path of immortality is far from over.

She couldn’t understand those people who were always eager to sacrifice their lives. Why die if they can live?

News of the Tianti Road had already spread, and with her sect’s power, they would likely send more people soon. At that time, the small Lingxiao Sect can be easily wiped out. And if she could infiltrate Qin Changqing’s side and play a role at a critical moment, she might make up for her past mistakes.

“Miss Lingsu.” Qin Changqing said at that moment, “I have heard an old saying, ‘A wise man submits to circumstances.’ I believe my proposal should be enough to touch your heart now, right?”

“All right!” Lingsu said indifferently, “As long as you can keep me alive, I will agree to be your Taoist Couple.”

Qin Changqing laughed.

How could he not understand this girl’s thoughts? Bai Liu was the same when she was here.

But Bai Liu was more focused on completing the mission, while Lingsu wasn’t exactly a professional ‘killer’. From this point of view, she did come from a major force, with great talent ana strong strength, DUI without me decisiveness and ruthlessness of a killer.

So although her strength was much stronger than Bai Liu’s, she was easier to handle.

“I promise you that as long as I’m okay, you will definitely be safe.” Qin Changqing smiled and said.

Three days later, Qin Changqing began to make the wedding arrangements.

Although this was Taixuan Peak, etiquette should not be abandoned. Every woman who entered the Qin family was his legitimate wife. Besides, there was nothing else to do on Taixuan Peak, and it was quite a long time since he had been married. Whatever, just do it first and deal with it later.

But as soon as he began, the disciples of Taixuan Peak all showed a strange expression.

Holding a wedding on Taixuan Peak… But probably, this was also the first time in the entire Lingxiao Sect..
