The two of them bought some clothes, shoes, hats and other items with local characteristics in a shop on the street, and then headed out of the city towards Qingqiu Palace.
After passing a stream, the two of them stopped for a while, freshened up, and looked more like local young immortal cultivators.
Just after noon, the two came to the mountain gate of Qingqiu Palace. The mountain gate here was actually similar to the Qingqiu Palace of Jishui Kingdom, but it looked more primitive and grand. It seemed that the mountain gate of the branch sect should be built according to the style here.
The gatekeeper disciple saw the two people coming and asked them what was going on. Gongsun Yan knew that his identity was a bit sensitive and could not be revealed easily, so he immediately said what he had planned in advance:
"Oh, two brothers, we are here to collect debts. The two disciples of your palace bought a lot of elixirs in our store last month. They said that they did not bring enough Yuanshi, and they were in a hurry to use the elixirs. They promised to
We are due to return the Yuan Stone at the end of the month, but it has been almost ten days and we still haven’t seen them come to return the Yuan Stone. The shopkeeper sent us to ask if they had too many things to do and forgot about it.”
"Oh? Where are you from? What's the name of the shop?"
Gongsun Yan told the doorkeeper the location and name of the store he had planned in advance. After hearing this, the two of them had no doubts. One of them continued to ask:
"What are the names of those two people? Do you have any credentials?"
"Oh, one of those two people is called Qinghan and the other is Qingluqi. We see that they are regular customers who often come to buy elixirs, but they did not leave any certificates. We believe in the credibility of your Qingqiu Palace." Gongsun
Yan said.
Xing Kui on the side did not say anything. He suddenly discovered that Gongsun Yan's ability to tell lies was even higher than his cultivation level. He just opened his mouth and never had to make a draft.
After hearing what Gongsun Yan said, the two disciples guarding the mountain immediately changed their expressions. The disciple who just asked the question immediately shouted:
"Nonsense! How could Senior Sister Qinghan owe you Yuan Stone? Nor could she go to an unknown shop like yours to buy some elixirs."
"Two big brothers, how dare we come to Qingqiu Palace to lie to you? If Miss Qinghan hadn't told me her name in person, how would we have known her name? Why don't you come and confront them and it will be over?"
Gongsun Yan said.
"Hmph! Senior Sister Qinghan is not someone you can meet whenever you want. You'd better go back!" Another disciple said.
"Ah! Do you, Qingqiu Palace, want to use your power to bully others? How can the promised things not count? It is a matter of course to pay back debts. If you don't return us the Yuan Stone today, we really won't leave.
You still dare to kill us in public for refusing to pay!"
Gongsun Yan immediately shouted loudly, and his voice spread far away.
"Who is it? How dare you make such a loud noise here!"
At this time, a shout came from the mountain gate, and then an elder deacon walked out. When he saw Gongsun Yan and the two of them, he couldn't detect the slightest aura of immortal cultivators in them, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
The two gatekeeper disciples quickly told him what happened without adding any details. The elder deacon looked at Gongsun Yan and the others and said:
"Do you know the consequences of deceiving me, Qingqiu Palace?"
"I know, Immortal Master, even if we borrow some courage, you won't dare to do it. Just ask them to come over and confront them." Gongsun Yan said firmly.
"Well, how many yuan stones do they owe you?" asked the elder deacon.
"Not counting the fraction, the total is a thousand pieces of high-grade Yuan Stone." Gongsun Yan replied.
Hearing this, the two Qingqiu Palace disciples took a deep breath, and the elder deacon also frowned. Originally, if there were not many Yuan Stones, he wanted to advance them to Qinghan and the others, but he didn't expect that they would need so many Yuan Stones.
If I don't come out, I'm afraid I'll suffer a big loss if something goes wrong.
He immediately said to Gongsun Yan and others:
"Okay! I'll let them come over now."
After saying that, the deacon elder immediately sent a message to the palace and asked someone to notify them to come over.
After waiting for a long time, a little girl hurriedly came from the direction of the palace. She was already in the Qi Refining Realm.
Gongsun Yan frowned slightly when he saw that this little girl was the only one coming, but he didn't say a word.
The little girl came to the mountain gate and suddenly asked with her big eyes flashing:
"Who is looking for me? What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was shocked. He had always thought that Qingyue's daughter was about the same age as Qinghan, but now she seemed to be a little girl! He secretly thought it was dangerous! Fortunately, he did not make up their ages just now.
Gongsun Yan immediately responded and said:
"Ouch! Miss Qing dressed up so beautifully all of a sudden, I can't even recognize us. Don't you recognize us? We are the guys from the 'Xiandan Pavilion'. Last month you and your sister Qinghan came to our place.
I bought some elixirs."
After saying that, Gongsun Yan immediately sent a message to her to identify himself. The elder deacon stared at her for a moment to see if she recognized these two people.
When the little girl heard this, she frowned slightly. Gongsun Yan secretly thought it was wrong and was about to remind her again, but she unexpectedly said:
"Didn't we agree that we can postpone the payment in installments? Why are you here to collect the debt now? Senior Sister Qinghan has something to do and I can't get away. I only have one hundred high-grade Yuan stones here, so I'll pay you first. However, I can't believe it.
I want you two to hand it over to the shopkeeper in person."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was surprised. She was clearly an "experienced" clever ghost. There was nothing wrong with her words. Her words clearly expressed that she wanted to leave here with them.
.
Gongsun Yan tacitly understood and cooperated with her:
"Miss Qing, we have met many times, do you just not believe us? Why bother you to go there in person again!"
Xing Kui on the side saw this and sighed in his heart, are all the people in Qingzhou Continent so good at acting? The two of them cooperated so seamlessly without any prior "rehearsal", he was ashamed of himself!
The elder deacon also said:
"Qing Luqi, I think these two people are trustworthy. Even if they have the guts, they wouldn't dare to steal the Yuan Stone. Besides, you both know each other, so you can just hand over the Yuan Stone to them directly."
"No! Senior Sister Qinghan once said that you should talk to the person in charge of everything you encounter. These errand runners are the best at pretending to be powerful and powerful. Don't trust them easily!"
Qing Luqi insisted.
Hearing this, the deacon elder was speechless. Qing Luqi brought up Qinghan's name. He really didn't dare to get into trouble, so he could only warn:
"Then you go back with them quickly, and I'll register you here."
"Okay! I'll be back as soon as I go."
After saying that, Qing Luqi left the mountain gate directly and walked forward on her own. Gongsun Yan followed closely behind, muttering:
"Miss Qing, why are you doing this..."
Seeing that she was far away from the mountain gate, Qing Luqi stopped, turned around, stared at Gongsun Yan and asked:
"Are you really a branch of the sect from Qingzhou Continent?"
