When Cui Heng noticed the change in the sky, Pei Qingshu, who was outside, also saw the situation in the sky.
Just in time to see that petite figure pass through the clouds and fall rapidly.
Falling from such a height would probably turn this person into meat paste on the spot.
But at this moment, Pei Qingshu suddenly saw a cloud rapidly condense. It actually flew under that figure and lifted her in the air, before slowly descending.
It was actually a little girl.
She looked about 8 or 9 years old.
The little girl was wearing a yellow dress embroidered with silver thread. The workmanship was very exquisite, and there were all kinds of gold, silver, and jade accessories hanging on her body. Clearly, she came from an extraordinary background as well.
What Pei Qingshu was most concerned about was the hairpin on the little girl’s head.
It was a branch carved from warm jade. There were nine plum blossoms on it, and they were stuck in the little girl’s hair.
Plum Blossoms Jade Hairpin!
Only the princess of the Great Zhou had the right to wear such a special hairpin!
Furthermore, not every Princess could wear it. It could only be worn after the Emperor bestowed it.
There were also differences in the number of plum blossoms on the jade hairpin. According to the shape and form, it was divided into three, six, and nine.
The more there were, the more favors they received.
And in the entire Great Zhou, there was only one Princess that could obtain the nine Plum Blossoms Jade Hairpin.
Princess Yong’an, Li Mingqiong.
“It’s her!”
Killing intent flashed across Pei Qingshu’s eyes.
He knew that his legs were crippled because of Princess Yong’an.
At this moment, Li Mingqiong was still sitting on the cloud.
After she looked around, she realized that she had been silently taken away from the palace. She immediately felt extremely shocked.
Who had the ability to take her away silently?
That was the Imperial Palace, the place with the highest security in the world!
“Who are you?” Li Mingqiong noticed Pei Qingshu and jumped down from the cloud. She asked warily, “Did you bring me here?”
But as soon as she said this, she felt that something was wrong.
That was because Pei Qingshu was kneeling. There was mud on his palms and sleeves. It was obvious that he had just paid his respects.
And the direction of his bow—
Was it that strange-looking house?
Li Mingqiong looked curiously at Cui Heng’s villa.
Although the girl was only 9 years old, her intelligence and observation skills far exceeded that of ordinary people.
“Is there an Immortal here?”
Li Mingqiong bowed respectfully towards the villa as well. As a princess, she knew very well how powerful some hidden Immortals were.
To be able to ignore the guards of the palace and bring her to this unfamiliar place in an instant, only an Immortal could do that.
And this person was definitely no ordinary Immortal.
“As expected of Princess Yong’an, the one who received the most royal favor. You don’t even pay proper respects to an Immortal Venerable.” Pei Qingshu sneered.
“Immortal Venerable?” Li Mingqiong looked at Pei Qingshu in confusion. She sized him up and her expression immediately turned cold. “So you are a direct descendant of Linjiang’s Pei family. I recognize your clothes.”
“By the way, is your family’s young master Pei Qingshu dead yet?”
Although this girl was young, her words were filled with murderous intent.
“I am Pei Qingshu!” Pei Qingshu gritted his teeth and stood up. His blood boiled and he instantly forgot what it meant to be cautious.
Cui Heng was in no hurry to leave.
He stood on the balcony on the third floor, looking down at the two of them.
“Interesting.”
When Cui Heng heard the conversation between the two children, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
How many years had it been since he had heard people scolding each other?
It had been more than 150 years.
This was so interesting.
While he was lamenting in his heart, the verbal conflict outside had escalated into a physical conflict.
Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong both had martial arts skills. When they fought, sand and stones flew everywhere. With a loud bang, a strong gust of wind swept past the stones and shattered them.
The most ridiculous thing was that Pei Qingshu was no match for Li Mingqiong, a 9 year old girl.
He was beaten to the point where he could not retaliate at all.
“Return my brother’s life!”
Li Mingqiong shouted in a low voice. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she raised her fist and was about to smash it towards Pei Qingshu’s head.
“Hmph!”
Just then, a cold snort boomed out like thunder.
At the same time, the clouds in the sky seemed to be attracted by an invisible force, blocking out the sunlight and making the sky darken.
It was like the wrath of the heavens!
Li Mingqiong immediately woke up and the murderous intent in her eyes disappeared quickly. She hurriedly bowed towards the villa respectfully, “Great Zhou’s Li Mingqiong greets Immortal Venerable!”
Having escaped death, Pei Qingshu felt a lingering fear and hurriedly bowed, “Thank you for saving my life, Immortal Venerable.”
The wrath of an Immortal caused even the skies to change color!
This was undoubtedly an Immortal’s technique, an Immortal’s divine power!
The two of them bowed and kowtowed respectfully, but did not receive any response, nor did they see any figures.
However, none of them dared to act impudently anymore.
They didn’t even dare to get up.
They all knelt there respectfully, waiting for the ‘Immortal Venerable’ to reply.
Just now, one of them was confused about the situation while the other was overwhelmed with anger and hatred. That was why they started fighting.
In the end, both of them were just kids.
And after hearing that cold snort, they completely realized how powerful the owner of this place was.
Even the mighty figures from the Immortal sects could not change the weather with just a snort.
This was really an Immortal Venerable!
At this moment, Cui Heng fell into deep thought.
These two kids were different from Hong Fugui and Jiang Qiqi.
This time, one of them was from an aristocratic family, while the other was a princess. Furthermore, both of them possessed decent martial arts skills.
According to Cui Heng’s standards, their strength was at least equivalent to the level from the Second to the Third layer of the Qi Refinement realm.
Considering the age of these two, possessing such strength was already very surprising.
What kind of world did they come from and what kind of martial arts did they cultivate?
This was what Cui Heng wanted to know more.
Especially the latter.
Now that Cui Heng had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Dao foundation had transformed into a golden ocean.
However, he had no idea how to ignite true fire, much less use true fire to calcine this sea into a Golden Core.
If the two of them came from a certain martial arts world or cultivation world, perhaps they could provide him with some inspiration and find a way to ignite his true fire.
However, these two people had extraordinary backgrounds and were knowledgeable. If they were really from a high-level world, it would not be easy for him to use the identity of an Immortal Venerate to get information from them with his mere peak Foundation Establishment cultivation.
Therefore, Cui Heng was not in a hurry to show his face, nor did he show much of his abilities.
Let the two children kneel outside for a night first.
“Tsk tsk, Fugui and Qiqi are still the best.” Cui Heng could not help but sigh.
…
Maybe it was because of their respect for the Immortal Venerable, or maybe it was because both of them had something to ask of him.
Pei Qingshu and Li Mingqiong obediently knelt outside the villa for an entire day and night until the next morning.
Finally, Cui Heng walked out. However, he did not look at the two of them.
Instead, he carried a basket to the yard to pick the vegetables as usual.
Pei Qingshu’s eyes almost popped out after seeing Cui Heng’s actions.
This Immortal Venerable treated the immortal medicine ‘Vermillion Fruits’ like ordinary fruits. He simply threw them into the basket and returned to the villa.
Is this the life of an Immortal Venerable?
That was an immortal medicine that could revive the dead!
He treated them so casually?
As for Li Mingqiong, her attention was on Cui Heng’s actions.
As an extremely talented martial arts genius, she felt that every move Cui Heng made seemed to contain the essence of martial arts.
Whether it was his steps in the vegetable garden, the way he plucked the tomatoes, or the way he placed the tomatoes in the basket… In Li Mingqiong’s eyes, they were all some kind of supreme martial art.
Her eyes sparkled.
As expected of an Immortal Venerable, every movement was a great Dao!
“Get up.”
At this moment, Cui Heng’s voice came from the villa.
