Chapter 50: Though We Meet, You Know Me Not 3
Dream Weaver, Scheming Against Cultivators from the Start
The Dream Weaver
Half a year later.
The water pavilion bloomed with flowers.
Yang Qingqiu, her hair tied in a cute bun, was cleaning the lotus pond.
Suddenly the wind rose, stirring the wind chimes on the eaves.
She looked up and saw a familiar figure approaching with the wind. She instinctively pursed her lips, lowered her head, and pretended not to see him.
“Miss Qingqiu, busy as always. Has your Old Master returned?”
“Steward Chen, didn’t you just come by this morning? I already told you, the Old Master went out on a mission.”
Yang Qingqiu answered with some helplessness.
Her heart no longer held any reverence for this Steward Chen of the Law Enforcement Hall.
After all, this Steward Chen had, right before her eyes, prostrated himself in apology in the dead of night.
Not to mention that for the past half year, Steward Chen had been running over here at every opportunity, so eager to please that he wished he could hang off Lin Qi as an accessory.
With such behavior, even Yang Qingqiu truly could not muster any reverence.
“Fellow Daoist Lin’s divine abilities are vast. A mere Immortal Academy mission is hardly worth mentioning to him.”
Lin Qi was not present, but Steward Chen still did not forget to flatter. Seeing Yang Qingqiu’s expression of I am quietly watching you lick boots, Steward Chen’s face could not hold up.
“Very well then. Since Fellow Daoist Lin is not here, I shall come again another day.”
“But I must trouble Miss Qingqiu. If Fellow Daoist Lin returns, please be sure to inform him.”
“Tell him I have found the illusion-type artifact he has been searching for.”
Hearing this, Yang Qingqiu also put away her absentmindedness and said seriously, “I understand. When the Old Master returns, I will tell him at the first opportunity.”
“That’s good.”
Having obtained Yang Qingqiu’s promise, Steward Chen smiled and cupped his hands, then turned to leave.
After Steward Chen left, Yang Qingqiu immediately took out her Identity Jade Token and sent a message to Lin Qi.
Though she had only spent half a year with Lin Qi.
To be precise, the time she had actually spent with Lin Qi was probably less than a month.
Because for most of this half year, Lin Qi had been busily rushing about on various Immortal Academy missions.
But Yang Qingqiu still clearly knew that Lin Qi was a person with very clear goals.
And one of Lin Qi’s purposes in coming to Jade Mountain Workshop was likely to collect and search for all kinds of talismans and artifacts related to illusion arts and divine soul.
I wonder what he’s actually collecting these for.
After receiving Lin Qi’s reply and knowing he would return soon, Yang Qingqiu thought it over, then turned and went back inside to change clothes, and also dug out the tea set.
Just as she was about to start boiling water, she suddenly heard the wind chimes outside ring again.
She ran out happily. “Old Master, you’re back… uh, Great-Uncle, why are you here?”
She had thought it was Lin Qi.
