917: What about Xie? Is he a good match?

The banquet continued.

Everyone discussed many things and took the opportunity to exchange some insights on Cultivation; overall, it was quite productive.

Qin Chanyue looked at Xie Weilou, pursed her lips, and chuckled, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Xie has a rather profound relationship with our Saintess!"

"..."

Everyone's gaze fell upon Xie Weilou once again.

The stories about Xie Weilou and the Longevity Saintess were constantly circulating among the public; there were even storytellers who compiled them into books and sold them at high prices.

Things like the unspeakable secrets of the Longevity Saintess, stories of the Longevity Saintess abandoning her husband and children, tales of the love-hate relationship between the Longevity Saintess and a grassroots man, and so on.

Xie Weilou looked at Qin Chanyue and asked with a smile, "And who might this young lady be?"

This woman possessed a powerful treasure, her aura was introverted, and her cultivation base was completely concealed, making it difficult to detect. She was definitely no ordinary person.

Qin Chanyue raised her wine cup, "This little woman is Qin Chanyue of the Longevity Holy Land."

"Qin Chanyue? That's a nice name. Does the young lady have someone she fancies?"

Xie Weilou's smile deepened, and he subconsciously pulled a folding fan from his sleeve.

The two characters for "Spring and Autumn" were extremely eye-catching. This Xie considers himself a romantic, enjoys reading the Spring and Autumn Annals, and likes beautiful women.

"..."

Beside him, Ye Anlan couldn't help but roll her eyes. This guy was blinded by lust and beyond saving.

This Qin Chanyue, as a candidate Saintess of the Longevity Holy Land, was extremely complex.

The Longevity Holy Land had several candidate Saintesses, but this Qin Chanyue could be ranked first.

She was an extremely ruthless character; many people had suffered great losses at her hands.

Qin Chanyue smiled charmingly, "This little woman does not currently have anyone she fancies!"

Xie Weilou said with a face full of confidence, "How does Miss Qin find This Xie? Am I a good match? This Xie is the most devoted and a rare good man in the Eastern Desolation."

Ye Anlan immediately sent a voice transmission to Xie Weilou, "Do not provoke this Qin Chanyue. She is a ruthless character. If the Longevity Saintess were to fall, she would definitely be the next Saintess of the Longevity Holy Land!"

"That won't do! My Dao Companion must have the bearing of a Great Emperor. Does Fellow Daoist Xie think he has the bearing of a Great Emperor?"

Qin Chanyue asked with a beaming smile.

When Xie Weilou heard this, he sighed, "It is a pity that This Xie's surname is not Wang, so I do not have the bearing of a Great Emperor! How about the bearing of the Enquiry Realm? This Xie feels that I can step into the Dao Seeking Realm..."

Qin Chanyue giggled, "Fellow Daoist Xie is truly humble. For you, let alone the Dao Seeking Realm, even the Creation Realm is only a matter of time."

Xie Weilou sighed, "Miss Qin has such a sweet mouth, it really makes me feel some regret."

"Oh? Why the regret?"

Qin Chanyue asked in surprise.

Xie Weilou said, "The Longevity Holy Land already has a Longevity Holy Son. The many beauties of the Holy Land are destined to be in his pocket. How could This Xie not feel regret? Not just regret, but also envy, jealousy, and hatred."

"It just so happens that This Xie does not like the Longevity Holy Son. Why not find a time, I will hire an assassin from the Third Watch to take him out? Then I will be the Holy Son and you will be the Saintess, how about that?"

"..."

Qin Chanyue's expression froze, and a strange look appeared deep in her eyes.

Xie Weilou noticed the strange look deep in Qin Chanyue's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

People around them only felt their scalps tingle. This Xie Weilou spoke of taking out a Saint so casually; such tone made people feel creeped out.

Yet, this Xie Weilou had actually done such a thing before. Hadn't the Myriad Sword Holy Son suffered his poisonous hands previously?

Mu Qingyang smiled and said, "Everyone, continue drinking!"

"..."

Everyone smiled indifferently and continued drinking.

One hour later.

The banquet ended.

Everyone left one after another.

On the main street.

Xie Weilou and Ye Anlan walked side by side. He took out the stone material and handed it to Ye Anlan.

"Many thanks!"

Seeing the stone material, Ye Anlan hurriedly took it, a smile appearing on her face.

With this piece of stone material, her control over the Eye of Slaughter would certainly be able to reach a higher level.

Xie Weilou looked at Ye Anlan. He grabbed her hand and pulled her directly into an alleyway, leaned his body in, and pinned her against the wall.

"Xie Weilou, you..."

Ye Anlan's expression became flustered.

Xie Weilou examined Ye Anlan's face at close range and smiled, "This Xie suffered a loss today! I acted as a shield for Your Highness for no reason. Does Your Highness not intend to offer some compensation?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Anlan immediately said, "I did not expect Gu Yunting to appear at the Mu Qingyang Manor."

"I don't care! Anyway, This Xie took action today and is already entangled in trouble. Tonight, This Xie must get intimate, and I also want to touch your beautiful legs, otherwise, I will be at a great loss."

Xie Weilou reached out and grabbed Ye Anlan's delicate chin.

"..."

Ye Anlan's expression froze. She subconsciously wanted to struggle, but her body was tightly pressed by Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou stretched out his other hand, intending to touch Ye Anlan's beautiful legs.

Ye Anlan showed a look of struggle. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Only... only allowed to touch once..."

"Hahaha!"

Xie Weilou let go and walked out of the alleyway with a laugh.

He waved his hand and said, "With nothing but a clear conscience, how dare I lead a beauty astray? Moreover, This Xie is physically weak; I dare not think about other things."

"This guy..."

Ye Anlan watched Xie Weilou's back, feeling somewhat speechless. She subconsciously touched her own face again, unable to help but doubt her own beauty.

Could it be that her attractiveness was not enough?

——————

Lower City.

Marquis of Eight Desolations Residence.

"How was it?"

The Marquis of Eight Desolations looked at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, "My Lord Marquis, don't tell me you don't know what happened up there. If I am not mistaken, you can monitor my every move in the Upper City, right?"

The Upper City was the imperial family's territory; it was impossible for there to be no surveillance objects. Any movement there would surely be observed by these core members of the royal family.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations laughed dumbly, "The imperial palace has a mirror that can peer into the entire Upper City. However, you seemed to use some special object when you took action at Prince Qings Estate today, shielding the heavenly secrets, so that mirror didn't see anything."

"..."

Xie Weilou narrowed his eyes. Used some special object?

If it were just the ten thousand souls banner, it shouldn't be enough to shield heavenly secrets. Then it might be the Bronze Cursed Man!

"Prince Qing is not a person of the Heavenly Palace. If what you said about Shi Qingxuan is not a problem, then the only one who has a problem right now is Marquis Zhenyu. I intend to take a trip to the Zhenyu Marquiss Residence."

Xie Weilou pondered.

The Marquis of Eight Desolations thought for a moment, "Since he has been locked onto, there is no need to rush. Give him a little more time to prepare."

Xie Weilou frowned, "I took action tonight and killed three Venerables; I have already alerted the enemy. Marquis Zhenyu will certainly have some precautions, and might even flee. Giving him time is not an option."

The Marquis of Eight Desolations smiled, "Rest assured! He cannot escape..."

He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Xie Weilou, "This object was refined by the State Preceptor and contains the essence blood of Marquis Zhenyu. It can lock onto his location; no matter where he goes, you can find him."

Xie Weilou took the jade talisman, "The identity of Elder Gu is basically confirmed now. How does the Marquis intend to proceed?"

The Marquis of Eight Desolations said meaningfully, "Naturally, to uproot him entirely. If we don't give him time to prepare, wouldn't that let many fish slip through the net?"

What he wanted to do was to round them all up in one go. This was giving Marquis Zhenyu time, but it was also giving the royal family time.

As long as the identity of Marquis Zhenyu as Elder Gu was locked down, during this period, the royal family would use the fastest speed to find out everyone and every force related to Marquis Zhenyu, and then uproot them all!

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, "Since the Marquis has a plan, I will not disrupt it. However, let's agree beforehand: I don't care about the other matters, but Marquis Zhenyu must be handed over to me."

"Good!"

The Marquis of Eight Desolations nodded with a smile.

Xie Weilou bowed, "I am a bit tired, so I will go back and lie down for a while."

"..."

The Marquis of Eight Desolations waved his hand gently.

Xie Weilou yawned and turned to leave.

Not long after.

A secret agent appeared in the Marquis's Residence. He whispered to the Marquis of Eight Desolations, "My Lord Marquis, the matter of the Great Desolation is not right. That turmoil clearly has issues..."
