428: My shoulders are sore, can you give me a massage?
First Princes Residence.
"Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, emperor yu sword..."
Yan Junlin fell silent.
If Xie Weilou was willing to help him, then there would certainly be no problem, but was that guy really willing to help him?
He had no confidence in that at all.
Moreover, in this competition, the Demon Race would definitely appear. If Xie Weilou discovered that the Demon Race was too close to him, he would certainly not help him.
After all, Xie Weilou had slaughtered so many demons in the Northern Territory before, and the conflict between them was difficult to resolve.
"Troublesome!"
Yan Junlin sighed softly.
"It seems you still have to confront Xie Weilou."
Yan Qingcheng said nonchalantly.
"I'll invite him for a drink tonight."
Yan Junlin mused.
He planned to probe Xie Weilou's thoughts. If he really had to confront Xie Weilou, he still had no confidence.
ββββββ
Lin Qinghuang had prepared many delicious dishes, full of fragrance.
"So fragrant!"
Xie Weilou picked up his chopsticks, ready to eat.
Just then, a surprised voice rang out: "So fragrant!"
An old man wearing a gray coarse cloth shirt and a straw hat entered the Lin residence. It was Zhou Xuantian.
"Greetings, Dean!"
When Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang saw Zhou Xuantian, they immediately stood up and saluted.
Zhou Xuantian waved his hand casually: "No need for formalities."
He then looked at the food on the table: "These dishes smell very fragrant!"
After speaking, he even swallowed his saliva.
Lin Qinghuang said: "Since Dean is here, let's add another set of bowls and chopsticks."
She was a little puzzled by Zhou Xuantian's appearance here.
"Hahaha! Then I won't be polite."
Zhou Xuantian's face showed a smile, and he immediately sat down on the stone stool.
......
Lin Qinghuang went to get bowls and chopsticks.
Zhou Xuantian looked at Xie Weilou: "Boy, I heard you're not interested in the power of destiny?"
"Suddenly I'm a little interested, otherwise I feel like I'm losing out."
Xie Weilou sighed.
Zhou Xuantian knew what Xie Weilou meant; with the Xia Emperor's current move, Xie Weilou indeed seemed to be at a loss.
He smiled and said: "For the Xia Emperor's move, my Saint Institute actually also brought out an item. If you, boy, continue down this path, I might be able to give you that item."
"Oh? What is it?"
Xie Weilou became interested.
Zhou Xuantian said directly: "The Fallen Heaven Hall has a treasure. I can't tell you what it is for now, but if you can resolve all sorts of troubles, I'll let you go to the Fallen Heaven Hall to retrieve that item yourself. How does that sound?"
"Fallen Heaven Hall?"
Xie Weilou's heart stirred. When he approached the Fallen Heaven Hall before, the Heavenly Book had an anomaly. There must be good things inside, and he naturally wouldn't forget about it.
"It's a deal!"
Xie Weilou said with a serious expression.
No matter what, he had to go to the Fallen Heaven Hall to see. Perhaps the item Zhou Xuantian mentioned was the one that caused the Heavenly Book's anomaly.
In this game, if he could obtain something from the Fallen Heaven Hall, he would definitely not lose out, and might even make a huge profit.
What was the power of destiny?
The thing that could cause the Heavenly Book to react was what interested him the most.
Zhou Xuantian looked at Xie Weilou strangely: "Do you, boy, know what's inside the Fallen Heaven Hall?"
Xie Weilou's ready agreement had confused him instead.
Xie Weilou shrugged: "No idea!"
Zhou Xuantian said: "I can tell you in advance that the value of that item definitely surpasses the power of destiny."
......
Xie Weilou's smile deepened.
With benefits, there's motivation. That's how it should be!
What chess game or not, it's not important at all.
Lin Qinghuang came out with bowls and chopsticks, handing them to Zhou Xuantian: "Dean, these bowls and chopsticks are for you."
"This old man will start eating directly."
Zhou Xuantian took the bowls and chopsticks and began to eat immediately.
Xie Weilou was also not polite, picking up large portions of food with his chopsticks and eating wildly.
......
Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou speechlessly. Was this guy reincarnated as a hungry ghost?
Half an hour later.
The meal was finished.
Zhou Xuantian left contentedly, while Xie Weilou lazily found a chair to lie down on, crossing his legs, feeling utterly relaxed.
After Lin Qinghuang finished cleaning the bowls and chopsticks, she continued to look at the scroll.
Not long after.
A maid walked over and handed an invitation to Xie Weilou: "Marquis, this is an invitation sent by the First Prince's messenger."
Xie Weilou took the invitation, glanced at it casually, then looked no further. He narrowed his eyes and continued to lie flat.
The maid looked at Xie Weilou and Lin Qinghuang, thinking to herself: "Marquis Xie and my young lady are truly a perfect match!"
She obediently retreated, not disturbing them.
Xie Weilou spoke lazily: "Lin Qinghuang!"
Lin Qinghuang looked at Xie Weilou: "Something wrong?"
Xie Weilou said: "My shoulders are sore, could you give me a massage?"
Lin Qinghuang said speechlessly: "I'm not your maid."
Xie Weilou stretched again and said: "Lin Qinghuang, I feel like someone is watching me! It should be a master, right? How did that storybook say it? A certain imperial family's young lady ran to a remote small family, and eventually, the imperial family's strong cultivators came looking for her... Do you think there might be an imperial family's strong cultivator watching me right now?"
......
Lin Qinghuang's expression froze, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Xie Weilou was indescribably strange.
Where on earth did this guy read these storybooks? It made her curious.
"I'm very curious, where did you read this storybook?"
Lin Qinghuang asked curiously.
Xie Weilou said: "My maid Lihua loves to read these kinds of storybooks the most. I also happened to pick a few to read, like 'The Fallen Son of Heaven Becomes a Cripple, Three Years to Rise Again'; 'A Mortal Accidentally Gets a Small Blue Bottle, Starting an Endless Escape'; and 'What About Being Dug Out of the Supreme Bone at the Start, the Invincible Path of the Desolate Heaven Emperor'... Oh, and it seems there's also 'The Overbearing Emperor Falls in Love with Me, the Marquis's Maid'...
Lin Qinghuang's mouth twitched: "Read less of these storybooks, they're all fake!"
Xie Weilou sat up straight, gazing at Qinghuang: "Lin Qinghuang, does your family have a Great Emperor?"
Lin Qinghuang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "One Great Emperor, why don't you say two?"
"Oh!"
Xie Weilou continued to lie down, closing his eyes, asking no more questions.
......
Lin Qinghuang, however, looked in a certain direction, raising an eyebrow.
ββββββ
In the evening.
Xie Weilou opened his eyes, yawned, and looked at Qinghuang beside him: "Qinghuang, I'm going out for a banquet. You don't have to wait for me tonight."
Lin Qinghuang glared at Xie Weilou: "Who's waiting for you? Good riddance!"
......
Xie Weilou glanced at Lin Qinghuang's beautiful legs, then left with a contented expression.
As soon as Xie Weilou left, an old man appeared out of thin air in the residence. He frowned and said: "This young man is not simple! I suspect he might know the young lady's identity."
Lin Qinghuang said indifferently: "Xie Weilou is naturally not simple, but this has nothing to do with you. You'd best not mess around, otherwise..."
Not long after.
Xie Weilou arrived in front of White Jade Capital.
In the evening, White Jade Capital was brightly lit, with singing and music gradually rising.
"May I ask where the wine shop is? The literati points to White Jade Capital."
Xie Weilou smiled and entered White Jade Capital.
