Chapter 42 Taking turns? Xiao Changqing discovered the two Lin sisters, and the Lin sisters naturally discovered him as well. Seeing that Xiao Changqing didn't say hello and hurried back home, Lin Ziyu looked normal and didn't show any expression. Although it was a coincidence that the former neighbors in the shantytown did not expect to meet again in the Class C cave after many years, it felt like they had met at the top of their respective efforts. The low-level casual cultivator who was abandoned by her Taoist partner has now become a promising talisman master in Lingfu Pavilion. She has also changed her mindset, overcome the lows, and established a firm foothold in Nanshanfang with her sister, and can even take advantage of the power of the Cao family, the head of the four major families. Both sides have changed a lot and are no longer as poor and destitute as before. But everything has changed for the better, but the relationship does not necessarily have to change. It's also good to continue to be acquaintances. No one needs to ask anyone for anything, and no one needs to have any connection with anyone. Seeing that Xiao Changqing obviously didn't want to communicate too much, Lin Ziyu expressed her understanding. But her younger sister Lin Zixi was different. She looked at Xiao Changqing's departing back and said, "Sister, isn't this guy your former neighbor? What's his name? He seems to be a basic talisman master from the Lingfu Pavilion. When I set up a stall to sell things, you wanted to help him save money? You were reluctant to give up several spirit stones!" "Why bring up the past?" Lin Ziyu said calmly. After her mindset changed, her temperament has become more mature and intellectual in recent years.
"I remember now, his name is Xiao Changqing! This guy is quite arrogant. He clearly recognized us just now, but he pretended not to see us..." Lin Zixi hummed twice, and then speculated curiously: "But this guy is quite rich, and can afford to live in a Class C cave. It seems that among the basic talisman masters in the Lingfu Pavilion, he is not the bottom, but a leader, and his monthly income is not low. From this point of view, maybe there is hope for him to become a first-class talisman master in the future?" Having said this, Lin Zixi became interested. If Xiao Changqing became a first-class talisman master, that would be incredible and he would immediately become a hot commodity. There is a fundamental change between a first-level talisman master and a basic talisman master! Ten basic talisman masters are not as important as one advanced talisman master! Although, an ordinary first-level talisman master is far inferior to Senior Bai Wuji behind her. Senior Bai Wuji is one of the best among the first-class middle-grade talisman masters. Lin Zixi even suspects that he is about to break through to the first-class upper-grade talisman master! Even if Xiao Changqing really becomes a first-class talisman master in the future, she will never be able to compare with Senior Bai Wuji, whom she admires and respects. However, even the worst first-class talisman master is still a big shot in Nanshanfang, and is a talent that the four major foundation-building families are eager to recruit. The sisters are now relying on Senior Bai Wuji to establish a relationship with the Cao family, but this is ultimately empty and full of unknowns. There is a fundamental difference between him and a first-level talisman master who relies on his own strength. "Sister, I feel that Xiao Changqing is actually quite good. How about you take him down before he breaks through and becomes a first-level talisman master? If you wait until he becomes a first-level talisman master, it will be much more difficult." Lin Zixi suggested seriously. Lin Ziyu glared at his sister and said, "If you are interested in Xiao Daoyou, go ahead! Aren't you always very opinionated and don't listen to me at all?" Lin Zixi muttered, "I don't think highly of him. Even if I want to find a Taoist partner, I have to find a mysterious and domineering cultivator like Senior Bai Wuji! This Xiao Changqing doesn't look domineering enough at first glance. He's stuffy and timid." Lin Ziyu said in a low voice, "Zi Xi, I'm telling you, don't have any improper thoughts about Senior Bai Wuji! If you do, give up the idea as soon as possible! Senior Bai Wuji is our benefactor, but he is so mysterious that the Cao family can't find out any information about him. To us, he is just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror. If you invest your feelings in him, you will only get hurt!" Lin Zixi waved her hands and said impatiently: "I've told you so many times, sister, please stop nagging me, I know! I just admire Senior Bai Wuji, not anything else. You were clearly talking about me, why did you shift your focus to me again?" "It's good that you know." Lin Ziyu nodded, and then said: "It's impossible for me and Daoyou Xiao to do this, so don't waste your energy." Lin Zixi didn't care and secretly decided to help her sister give it a try. She had a hunch that her sister actually seemed to have some interest in Xiao Changqing. At least, I don't feel disgusted. I knew that her sister's mentality would change a lot after experiencing a beastly guy like Hu Yuan. Not being disgusted with a male cultivator is equivalent to having a certain degree of affection for him.
…… …… Xiao Changqing follows a routine every day, punches in at work, earns extra money and practices after get off work. After the two sisters from the Lin family moved in next door, there wasn't much of an impact. Recently, Xiao Changqing was considering when to show his breakthrough to the first-level talisman master in the Lingfu Pavilion. The shopkeeper Hong Jiantao was about to leave and could not stay in Nanshanfang for too long. What Xiao Changqing wanted to do was to show up before he left. It couldn't be said to be a repayment, but it could only be said to be to not let him down and to let him know that he had made the right choice. Anyway, it has been four years now, which is much longer than the three years it took Master Lu Qiu to break through to the first level of Talisman Master. Although his breakthrough at this time was quite fast, it was still within a reasonable range and would not cause a sensation. However, after his identity as a first-level talisman master was exposed, it would be more tiring for him to earn extra money when he returned home. Now he only needs to draw basic talismans at work, which is very easy, and he can finish it easily by working overtime at home. If he becomes a first-level talisman master, the workload will increase sharply and he will be "squeezed dry" to the greatest extent. At that time, if one does not want to affect the speed of cultivation, the scale of private work may have to be appropriately reduced. In the past, I sold sixty talismans a month, but in the future I will have to reduce it to thirty. Of course, after Xiao Changqing announced his breakthrough, his salary at Lingfu Pavilion would skyrocket, which could make up for some of the losses from the reduction in private work. Overall the difference won't be that big. Just when Xiao Changqing was planning for this, he had just returned home from get off work when Lin Zixi suddenly came to his door. "Is there something?" Xiao Changqing was a little reluctant to let them in. "Well, I have something important to discuss with you, Brother Xiao." Lin Zixi nodded. Seeing the woman's expression, Xiao Changqing almost subconsciously thought that she was going to reveal her true identity. There's nothing I can do. I'm starting to get a little suspicious. After thinking about it, Xiao Changqing let her into the house, wanting to hear what she had to say. After entering the house, Lin Zixi was not timid at all, but rather a bit familiar. After looking around, he said with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xiao's cave seems to be better than ours. Your cave costs 26 low-grade spirit stones a month, right? Ours is only 25. Fellow Daoist Xiao lives in such a good place by himself, he must be rich!" "I have a housing subsidy from Lingfu Pavilion." Xiao Changqing explained, and then got to the point: "Fellow Daoist Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." To be honest, Xiao Changqing was a little uncomfortable with this woman's current attitude. Over the past year or so, he had been in contact with her under the alias Bai Wuji. Every time they met, Lin Zixi was respectful and obedient to him, calling him "senior" all the time. He was very well-behaved and obedient, with admiration in his eyes. Then like now, he is on equal footing with her, being quirky and even daring to speak in a joking tone! Lin Zixi naturally had no idea what Xiao Changqing was thinking. When it came to business, she became more serious. She stared at Xiao Changqing with her bright eyes and asked, "Daoyou Xiao has been single for many years. Have you ever thought about finding a Taoist partner?"
Ok? Hearing these words, Xiao Changqing felt dazed, as if the dead memories were attacking him again. If I remember correctly, the night before he left the shantytown, Lin Zixi's sister Lin Ziyu invited him into the house and said something similar, creating an ambiguous atmosphere as if she wanted to tease him. As a result, he got angry for no reason, scolded him and said some nonsense. What? Time goes by and it happens again, right? It’s just that the elder sister became the younger sister, and the sisters take turns? "No such plan!" Xiao Changqing would not be fooled again and refused directly. (End of this chapter)
