Yan Qing said: "Yaoyao, what kind of existence is the Weisheng family in Zijinzhou?"
Xie Shiyi was silent for a while, then said, "I have never been to Zijinzhou, but from what I understand, the Weisheng family is now the lowest in status among the three families. The Weisheng family has lived in Canghai Realm for a long time, and Canghai Realm is the closest island to Cangwang Sea in the Ninth Heaven."
Yan Qing asked again: "Have you met the Patriarch of the Weisheng Family?"
Xie Shiyi nodded and said calmly, "I have met him. The current head of the Weisheng family is Weisheng Xinglan. He was cursed and looked like a child from birth to death. I didn't have much contact with him. According to the investigation of the Immortal Alliance, the Weisheng family is the most secretive and has the least news. They rarely leave the island."
Yan Qing nodded and thought, it seems that the Weisheng clan is the type that hides itself in Zijinzhou, and the main instigator is still the Qin family.
The water that Wei Shengzhuang turned into after his death had already seeped into the land, and nothing could be found. Yan Qing also did not go back to the Liu family.
It rained for three days and three nights afterwards, and even the air smelled of decay and dampness. For the barrier city, continuous rain was the norm.
Madam Su liked Yan Qing very much and treated him as her own brother. She would invite him to visit her in the bamboo forest from time to time. Yan Qing secretly complained that according to the age of the human world, he should be her great-grandfather. As the due date was getting closer, Madam Su's eyes became more and more gentle. She stroked the longevity lock with her fingers, looked at the four words "Long Live a Hundred Years" on it, and said softly: "In fact, I don't ask him to live a hundred years, I just hope he can be born smoothly. In the barrier city, it is a blessing for a child to be born safely."
Yan Qing asked her: "After the child is born, will Lord Su send him to the upper heaven?"
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "He promised me that he wouldn't do that."
Yan Qing looked at her silently, and then a gentle spiritual energy flowed out from his fingertips, gently enveloping her room.
When Yan Qing came out of the bamboo forest, he saw Su Qu.
The young Lord Su stood in the bamboo forest, looking very elegant. However, Su Qu was very repulsive to this outsider, and even attacked him for trying to contact his wife.
Yan Qing smiled at him and said, "Lord Su." The hazy rain splashed a layer of light white mist on the green bamboo leaves. The boy's eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous, and he was as affectionate as peach blossoms, but his sleeves fluttered in the wind, and he had an indescribable sense of elegance and freedom.
Since he is a general under the Lord of Zhancheng, he is naturally not as easy to fool as other people in Zhancheng. He can tell at a glance that Yan Qing is not a simple person.
Su Qu stared at him warily. He said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you? What is your purpose in coming to the barrier city?"
Yan Qing smiled nonchalantly and said, "What could be my purpose in coming to the barrier city? I just want to see the plum blossoms in the city lord's mansion."
A murderous intent flashed across Su Qu's eyes.
Yan Qing raised his lips and said coldly: "I know you are loyal to the city lord. But don't forget, Lord Su, your child is about to be born."
Su Qu stared at him intently, wishing he could scrape a piece of flesh off his body.
That night, Madam Su had a heavy hemorrhage. While Nanny Guan and the guards were busy, Yan Qing took the opportunity to introduce Jin Ming to her. Lord Su remained silent from beginning to end, only holding her hand tightly to show his anger and anxiety.
Yan Qing winked at Jin Ming, who pursed his lips, nodded, and walked in. The rain outside was getting heavier, and the shadows of people overlapped in the bamboo house.
An hour later, Mrs. Su fell into a deep sleep.
Jin Ming came out, and Su Qu asked hurriedly: "How is it?"
Jin Ming's face turned pale, then he gritted his teeth, raised his head, and the hatred in his eyes overcame the fear, and he grinned: "She is fine now. But her life and the life of the child in her belly are in my hands. In three days, without my antidote, she will definitely die. Su Qu, if you don't want your wife to die in agony?"
Su Qu was furious. He grabbed Jin Ming's clothes and slammed him against the stone pillar next to him.
Su Qu said gloomily: "Who do you think you are? How dare you negotiate with me?"
When he was about to kick her hard, Yan Qing walked over, raised her hand to block him, and said with a smile: "Sir Su, do you really not care about Madam Su's life or death?"
Su Qu smiled grimly, his eyes reddened: "I have wanted to kill you for a long time, but she stopped me. If it weren't for her, do you think you would be alive now? Is this how you repay kindness with enmity?"
Yan Qing said calmly: "Thank you Madam Su for your kindness. As long as you cooperate, I will naturally not hurt her."
Su Qu gritted his teeth.
Yan Qing said, "I know that the Qin family has always had a way of training dogs. If I don't use your wife, you would rather die than reveal the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion." Yan Qing leaned over and said, "Su Qu, you can ask the City Lord's Mansion for help to see whether your wife will die faster or go to heaven faster."
When he was in Shifang City, he acted both good and evil, and his temperament made the entire Demon Realm terrified. Yan Qing didn't like to kill people, but that didn't mean he wouldn't kill people. After his rebirth, he was carefree, so he didn't plan to stain his hands with blood, but at this moment, his anger had been completely provoked by the barrier city. He looked at Su Qu with a smile, his eyes were chilling.
Su Qu was silent for a long time. He smiled sadly, looked in the direction of the room, and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you want?"
Jin Ming spoke first: "Give me the token to enter the City Lord's Mansion."
Su Qu said: "It is not appropriate for you to enter at this time."
Jin Ming got up from the ground with red eyes: "No! We have to go in at this time!"
Su Qu was silent for a long time before he compromised and said, "At the end of March, people from the upper heaven of the barrier city will come to take the Jingping bottle. In order to welcome them, the city lord's mansion will hold a paradise banquet in the mansion. You alone cannot enter the city."
Yan Qing was stunned.
Paradise Feast
Su Qu's next words indeed confirmed Yan Qing's guess.
"You must bring your partner to enter the Bliss Banquet."
Yan Qing: “…” From Su Qu’s expression, Yan Qing could guess that this Paradise Banquet was not a serious banquet. Thinking of the aphrodisiac and aphrodisiac flowers all over the mountains of the City of Barriers, and the countless missing men and women, Yan Qing was no longer shocked. The city of Barriers, which was full of absurdity, obscenity, and weirdness, really deserved to be uprooted.
Jin Ming was confused: "Partner? Does it have to be a woman?"
Su Qu said: "Not necessarily." The end of March is a grand event in the barrier city. Not only the upper heaven, but also many dignitaries from the human world will come, including people from the immortal platform and the prison. There are men who like men, and the people they carry with them may not be women.
Jin Ming breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Yan Qing: "Then Brother Yan, we can pretend to be a couple and go in together."
Yan Qing refused bluntly. He had already guessed what kind of banquet the Paradise Banquet was. "No, Brother Ming, go find someone. I have a Taoist partner."
Jin Ming: “Ah?”
Yan Qing thought, if I agree, you might even lose your life.
The immortals from the upper heavens don't need tokens to come here, but the dignitaries from the mortal world must have a bliss token to come here. Su Qu gave Yan Qing and Jin Ming a bliss token each. The token was engraved with a bunch of albizzia flowers, with a poisonous snake entwined around the flowers, its tongue pressed against the center of the petals, looking extremely obscene.
Jin Ming was at a loss holding the token.
Yan Qing curled his lips and smiled, and gave him an idea: "If you really can't find anyone, maybe you can go and ask Liu Yirui for help."
Jin Ming wanted to save his sister who was imprisoned in the Immortal Terrace, and Liu Yirui wanted to save her brother who was imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion. The two of them probably hit it off. Yan Qing didn't know how many "big shots" from the upper heaven could be invited to a remote city like the Barrier City, so she didn't expose Jin Ming's wish to seek help from the immortals.
Su Qu has been accompanying Mrs. Su since then.
Jin Ming only gave her the medicine twice, and the final medicine that woke her up completely had to be given to her after she came out of the City Lord's Mansion.
During the day on March 31st, Yan Qing went to buy some clothes that looked very luxurious in the human world.
They wanted to dress up as invited dignitaries, so of course they couldn't dress shabbily. In fact, in terms of luxury, no one could compare to Xie Shiyi's outfit, with the shark silk and soul silk, which were hard to find in the world of cultivation, but too conspicuous to be spotted at a glance.
Wearing masks is allowed at the Paradise Banquet. In order to hide from others, Yan Qing specially chose a silver flying fox mask and gave it to Xie Shiyi as well.
Xie Shiyi changed his clothes unwillingly, letting Yan Qing move around on his head. After he was done, he said indifferently, "Who am I going to meet?"
Yan Qing said: "Meet your old friend."
Xie Shiyi smiled lightly, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Yan Qing said: "See me! See me! Just dress up to see me."
Xie Shiyi raised his eyes and looked at him, but said nothing this time.
At night, every household in Zhancheng was shut up, and it was as quiet as an empty city. Su Qu arranged a sedan chair for them. Yan Qing sat in the sedan chair and lifted the curtain to see the outside world. The City Lord's Mansion has always been a restricted area in Zhancheng. This time, Yan Qing finally saw its appearance clearly. The entrance was even more magnificent than the city gate, with jade high gates and red tiles. The city gate was wide open, and the white light was dazzling, making it as bright at night as during the day. Breaking into the dazzling white light, there was actually a ladder extending upwards after entering the city gate.
The carriage was moving on the ladder as if walking on flat ground. The ladder was very high, above the dark clouds, so that the rain from the barrier city could not fall here at all.
Yan Qing sighed and said, "Does this look like the 9,900 steps of your Wangqing Sect?"
Xie Shiyi: "Not really. The steps in Wangqing Sect can only be walked, which is far inferior to here."
Yan Qing couldn't help laughing: "Won't your master scold you if he heard you say this?"
At this moment, someone suddenly bumped into their sedan chair hard. However, Yan Qing and Xie Shiyi were both cultivators, so their foundation was stable and nothing happened.
Yan Qing lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw a cloud boat landing steadily.
A man and a woman walked down from the cloud boat. Neither of them had any cultivation, but they were dressed in extravagant clothes. The man was tall and big, and the woman next to him was half-hidden in a veil, leaning delicately on the man. The man's hands were also restless. The two of them behaved very outrageously in public.
The guard at the end of the stairs checked the token conscientiously, and it was obvious that he was not surprised by all this. After checking, he said, "Your Highness, King Chu, please."
Later, Yan Qing was cut in line again. It was obvious that the status of those who rode in a Yunzhou boat was higher than those who rode in a sedan chair.
The one who came down this time was a monk, but he was only in the Jindan stage. The woman next to him was wearing a veil and was very graceful. The monk handed the token to the guard.
Guard: "Master Wang of Xianrentai, please."
After the two entered, Yanqing was left in the sedan chair thinking: Are the royal family and the Immortal Terrace here
