70: Chapter 70 Wouldn't that mean Lin Qing'er...?

By the time the Revered Master and disciple walked out of Duobao Pavilion, the lecherous grin on Chen Yan's face simply could not be suppressed.

He touched the two signed contracts in his robes, feeling as if he were floating on air!

That woman Xiao Shiyu, while she might look unserious, was truly authentic as a businesswoman!

The moment he gave her the design blueprints for the Flowing Cloud Body-Sculpting Garment and the Ice Heart Moon-Condensing Dress, she pulled Chen Yan in to finalize the partnership and sign the contracts right on the spot!

The split was three-seven.

Chen Yan gets three, and Duobao Pavilion gets seven!

It might seem like a raw deal, but in reality, it was an absolute landslide victory!

One had to know, Duobao Pavilion's distribution channels covered the entire continent.

All Materials, production, and distribution were handled entirely by Duobao Pavilion!

He didn't have to do a thing; he just had to wait for his monthly share of the profits!

Once these two products were promoted, wouldn't Spirit Stones just be pouring into his pockets?

As for risk?

What kind of risk? There was absolutely none!

This was completely a business with zero investment and massive profit!

Leng Qingshuang followed beside Chen Yan, and watching that Rebellious Disciple's lecherous and wretched expression, she silently rolled her eyes at him.

Just now in Duobao Pavilion, she had heard everything that the Rebellious Disciple and that Xiao Shiyu had discussed!

Things about accentuating figures, surging waves, being sexy and alluring... it was all filthy language unfit for the ears!

She really didn't know how that Xiao Shiyu could listen with such relish, and even look like she completely agreed!

Could it be that those two embarrassing items really had that much charm?

She couldn't help but lower her head to glance at her own peaks.

Her face suddenly flushed red!

Pah!

A man's mouth is a lying devil!

That wasn't some Magic Treasure to benefit thousands of female cultivators! It was purely the Rebellious Disciple's rebellious and filthy thoughts!

Heh!

"Big Sister~ shall we head back to the inn first?"

Chen Yan had no idea what his Revered Master was thinking, and turned around excitedly, looking at Leng Qingshuang with a grin.

"We need to study the information regarding the intelligence first."

Leng Qingshuang gave a faint "Mn."

She didn't say much more, but her gaze toward Chen Yan held a bit more scrutiny.

This Rebellious Disciple.

What exactly was he plotting in his heart?

The Revered Master and disciple walked side by side on the streets of Qingyun City.

People came and went on the street, and the sounds of hawking rose one after another.

Chen Yan walked while stealing glances at his Revered Master's profile.

She had already put the thousand-face veil back on, and that ordinary face appeared somewhat dull in the setting sun.

But that curvaceous figure still made people's imaginations run wild.

Especially those black silk stockings on her legs; in the evening light, they were faintly visible and extremely seductive.

Chen Yan swallowed his saliva and hurriedly averted his gaze.

"Revered Master, that Xiao Shiyu... what do you think of her?"

"She's alright." Leng Qingshuang was concise.

"The way she looks at you, I always feel like there's a problem."

Chen Yan muttered, giving his Revered Master a warning: "Revered Master, you must stay away from her in the future!"

Leng Qingshuang's footsteps paused.

She recalled the action of Xiao Shiyu holding her hand and rubbing it back and forth just now, as well as the look in her eyes that shone with light.

Could it be...

"Revered Master, you must be careful."

Chen Yan leaned in a bit closer, deliberately lowering his voice.

"In this day and age, rich and powerful women like Xiao Shiyu are all very twisted in their hearts!"

"They love to make a move on peerless beauties like you the most."

"You are so beautiful, what if she takes a liking to you?"

Leng Qingshuang gave him a cold glance: "Do you think this Seat would let a woman take advantage of me?"

Hmph!

Among the people this Seat has met, you, this Rebellious Disciple, are the most twisted!

"That's true."

Chen Yan chuckled: "Revered Master is so powerful, anyone who dares to lay a hand on you is just looking for death, right?"

As he spoke, his gaze drifted involuntarily toward Leng Qingshuang's hands.

Slender and long, as white and tender as jade.

He wondered if there was any scent left behind after being held by Xiao Shiyu.

Should he help Revered Master wipe it off?

Chen Yan thought sourly in his heart.

The tips of Leng Qingshuang's ears turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but quicken her pace.

This Rebellious Disciple!

He really is getting more and more excessive; he even wants to monopolize his Revered Master's hands!

[Detected Rebellious Disciple behavior from the Host, rebellious value + 1666 !]

Returning to the inn, Chen Yan closed the door behind him.

With a wave of her hand, Leng Qingshuang set up an isolation array within the room.

She took out the Jade Slip recording the intelligence, tapped it with a jade finger, and infused it with spiritual power.

Hum~

The Jade Slip trembled slightly, and characters immediately appeared in the Void Realm.

The intelligence provided by Xiao Shiyu was very detailed; it not only recorded the preset time and location of the Heavenly Demon Assembly but also analyzed the intentions of the three major demonic sects.

Blood Demon Sect, Netherworld Hall, Soul Devouring Sect.

Taken separately, these three were merely branches of the demonic path and could not be considered major powers.

But with the three of them joining forces, and adding a heavenly demon inheritance as bait, it was enough to make the entire cultivation world tremble.

The more Chen Yan read, the tighter his brows furrowed.

According to what was said in the intelligence, the true location of the Heavenly Demon Assembly had not been determined.

The Blood Bamboo Forest publicized to the outside world was merely bait on the surface; the true place of the Legacy was elsewhere!

"The Legacy is a real Legacy, and the trap is a real trap."

Chen Yan muttered to himself, "These demonic brats are really willing to invest heavily."

He raised his head and looked at Leng Qingshuang, who was sitting by the window.

"Big Sister, what do you think?"

Leng Qingshuang had her eyes closed, seemingly pondering something.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "The demonic sects must have an ulterior motive for this move."

"Although the heavenly demon inheritance is tempting, it is not worth the three major powers joining forces to lay a layout."

Chen Yan was stunned: "You mean... they have another motive?"

"Mn."

Leng Qingshuang opened her eyes, her expression grave: "The key lies in this Heavenly Demon Physique!"

"Lin Qinger?"

Chen Yan was somewhat puzzled: "I have always been a bit confused; how exactly did she become a Heavenly Demon Physique?"

"Logically speaking, she took the blood demon pill and voluntarily entered the demonic path; she should have long since become a blood demon Puppet without reason!"

"How did she turn around and become a Heavenly Demon Physique?"

Leng Qingshuang's willow brows locked tight, and she shook her head slightly: "I am not sure either."

"But she must have suffered what ordinary people cannot endure and experienced bone-deep, heart-searing pain to have fallen to this state!"

"And what the heavenly demon inheritance needs most is this kind of monstrous hatred and endless resentment!"

Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat.

Monstrous hatred, endless resentment?

What exactly had this Lin Qinger experienced?

He had always thought that Lin Qinger serving Li Qingxuan was just a case of one willing to hit and the other willing to suffer.

Could it be...

"Big Sister..."

Chen Yan suddenly looked up, watching his Revered Master, and asked tentatively: "Lin Qinger, she..."

Leng Qingshuang glanced at him and said indifferently: "I know what you are wanting to ask."

She stood up and walked to the bedside to sit down.

"Back then, Lin Qinger awakened the mystic ice sword tassel and came to find me to take her as a disciple."

Her voice was calm, seemingly without regret: "I only looked at her once, and then refused."

Chen Yan blurted out: "Why?"

"Because of her eyes."

Leng Qingshuang said softly: "At that time, she was only twelve years old, but her eyes were completely filled with ambition and desire!"

"This kind of Heart-Nature is not suitable for learning my sword."

Chen Yan was silent.

He didn't know what to say.

In this world, a twelve-year-old girl full of ambition was not a mistake.

In fact, it was even a merit! Because the Dao is all about competing!

But his Revered Master was not wrong either.

Lin Qinger's desires were too strong, and the Ninth Peak's Cultivation Technique was about clearing the heart and reducing desires! It was indeed not suitable.

"If Lin Qinger truly becomes a Heavenly Demon Physique and obtains the heavenly demon inheritance..."

He pursed his lips, somewhat speechless: "Then wouldn't this crazy woman crazily chase us to kill us?"

He knew just how much Lin Qinger hated them!

Unexpectedly, Leng Qingshuang sighed, a flash of reluctance crossing her eyes: "She won't..."

"Huh? Why?" Chen Yan didn't understand.

"Because..."

Leng Qingshuang looked up toward the window:

"Heavenly Demon Physique is not a talent, but... a container!"

"A container?"

Chen Yan was stunned upon hearing this, then said in surprise: "Then wouldn't Lin Qinger..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

"Bang!"

A loud noise!

The room's window was suddenly blown open!

A gust of sinister wind, carrying shattered wood, shot toward the Revered Master and disciple!

Leng Qingshuang's expression changed; she instantly formed a hand seal with one hand, and a flash of sword light swept past, slicing the sinister wind in two!

"There's still an expert?"

A sinister voice came from outside the window, carrying some surprise, yet seemingly not caring:

"Hand over the ghost soul token, and this Seat can spare your lives!"
