Chapter 555: A Deal 3 

Shan Qianjue repeated, “Send her out!!” 

Qi Qingyao knew that this person was not one to mess around with, so she quickly said, “Master, I’m just kidding. I really do need your help.” 

Shan Qianjue said, “Please don’t test my limits.” 

Qi Qingyao gulped. Sitting down obediently like a quail, she asked, “Then why are you looking for me? Why do you want to help me?” 

Shan Qianjue said directly, “This matter requires your cooperation.” 

“Cooperation?” Qi Qingyao looked at the three of them with suspicion. “What are you going to do?” 

“We have a plan…” Shan Qianjue said straightforwardly. 

Then, without waiting for Qi Qingyao to speak, he went on to tell her the plan. Just when he reached the critical point, he saw the girl looking like she was going to cut in, so he said again, 

“Don’t interrupt. Wait until I’m done.” 

Qi Qingyao, “…” 

Shan Qianjue spent fifteen minutes giving an overview of their plan in a seemingly “easy” description. No fine details were given. 

After he finished speaking, 

Qi Qingyao was silent. 

Shan Qianjue asked, “You don’t have any objections, do you?” 

“…” 

“Huh?” 

“…” 

“Have you lost your tongue?” 

“I-I lost my tongue, yes.” 

Qi Qingyao sat there blankly, blinking her eyes like a discombobulated quail. Then she licked her lips, stood up silently, took a few steps, and walked slowly to one of the masked men. 

 She stared at him directly in the face. 

Tan Xiangdie was extremely nervous. 

What was she going to do? 

Qi Qingyao knew that she could not take off the man’s mask, so she looked down. 

Then she reached directly downward. 

Because Tan Xiangdie knew that she did not have inner energy and did not know how to cultivate, he was not too cautious. This woman could not hurt him. 

When Tan Xiangdie was not paying attention, Qi Qingyao’s hand reached to Tan Xiangdie’s inner thigh, and then pinched it with all her might. 

Tan Xiangdie let out the worst scream in his life since he left the training camp. 2

“Aaah——” 

Even if Tan Xiangdie was a rank-nine cultivator, he could not bear having the tenderest part of his inner thigh to be pinched like this… 1

Jiang Yeqian got up from the other side in an instant, scrutinizing them as though he wanted to know exactly where she had grabbed him. 1

What must she have done to make Tan Xiangdie’s body bend like that? 

Shan Qianjue thought that the woman had gone crazy. 

After making sure she was not dreaming, Qi Qingyao muttered, “If you actually got this hurt, it means I’m not dreaming! Is this actually not a dream? Did he not say those words because he was crazy?” 

Shan Qianjue, “…” 

Jiang Yeqian, “…” 

Did she think that they were crazy?! 

“That can’t be right. You guys said you’re from the Ghost Organization. But…” 

Qi Qingyao was talking to herself for a while before she came back to her senses. She widened her eyes and sat back to her original position shakily. Then she lifted her trembling head and looked at Shan Qianjue. 

“You- you- you- you, you guys want to replace the empress of Northern Liang? This is really not crazy talk?” 

“When did I give you the impression that I’m crazy?” Shan Qianjue said. 

Qi Qingyao held her head and could not help pulling her hair as she went into a meltdown. “B-But, replacing the empress is no joke.” 

Who would just casually say something like replacing the empress of a country? Just how much mind-blowing power did they have? This meant that they could let whoever they pleased be at the top of the nation! 

No. 

Just because she was going to marry Lu Yan, they wanted to replace the empress of Northern Liang? That did not make sense, did it? 

Could it be that Shan Qianjue, the Head of Wenchun Hall of the Ghost Organization, was secretly in love with her? 1

Qi Qingyao looked at him speechlessly. 

“Dude, I don’t know you, and while I don’t know why you want to help me like this, if…the whole country will be destabilized on my behalf, then forget it. I’ll marry Lu Yan earnestly, and you guys just don’t cause any more ruckus!” 

“…” 

Qi Qingyao added seriously, “Send me back home. Send me back to the State Preceptor’s household! Li Ruoxuan probably knows I’ve gone missing already, so he must have gotten worried.” 

Jiang Yeqian, “…” Li Ruoxuan again! 

Shan Qianjue glanced at Jiang Yeqian, the latter’s face underneath the mask was incredibly tense. He did not understand why Jiang Yeqian had asked him to call this woman over. Apparently, this woman thought that they were going to replace the empress for her sake. While there were some misunderstandings, if she planned to marry Lu Yan happily, what else could he say? 

He could not tell her that they actually wanted to replace the empress for other reasons, and were just helping her as collateral.
