Maybe it was because he had been tired for too long, or maybe it was just Ling Qingzhu's deliberate indulgence that caused him to fall asleep in the bathtub without even realizing it.
The monk's physique has long been immune to the cold and heat of the four seasons, and by the time Ling Qingzhu woke up, the water was already cold.
She hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time, and she yawned silently, then couldn't help but stretch her waist, and then slowly stood up and took a belated step out of the tub.
As Ling Qingzhu steps forward, three thousand green hairs dance without wind.
"Pap, tap..."
The water stains were expelled from the body surface by the vitality, and fell on the floor of the room, forming patches of water stains.
There is a smooth dressing mirror in the room, and there are various rouges and gouache next to the dressing mirror. Needless to say, this must have been temporarily arranged by the assistant.
It's not like Ling Qingzhu has never been to this room in the side hall, she knows everything there is.
The assistant is also attentive enough. Considering that Ling Qingzhu is a woman, no matter whether it will be used or not, it will never go wrong if he prepares it first.
Ling Qingzhu saw herself through the smooth mirror in the room, her expression couldn't help but feel a little dazed, familiar yet unfamiliar.
The beauty is as beautiful as a picture. The beauty's long hair in the mirror has grown to her buttocks, and is as black as ink, like a black waterfall flowing down the river.
It turns out that without even realizing it, the appearance of this life has become the same as the previous one.
But not long after, the beauty's beautiful face in the mirror was once again covered by an unintelligible white mask. Only the eyes exposed under the mask showed an innate calmness.
Wearing an elegant plain dress and a white robe, Ling Qingzhu walked out of the room.
At this time, it was getting close to evening outside, and she slept for three or four hours.
Although the two maids who were taking care of the bath were sent away by her, they followed the assistant's instructions and stayed at the door without leaving.
"Tidy up the room. If you like it, you can take the rouge and gouache inside."
Whether it is Gu Yue in the previous life or Ling Qingzhu in this life, their dressing style is mainly simple and neat.
Although I don't reject rouge and gouache, I don't like it either.
She won't smear it on her face unless necessary.
After giving instructions to the two maids, Ling Qingzhu left the alliance leader's hall directly and went to the courtyard where Ling Yunzi temporarily lived in Fangquan City.
Ling Yunzi has been in the Merchant Alliance for many days. At that time, Ling Qingzhu was secretly escorting Jiang Xingyuan and Luo Hu and others back to Tianyun Kingdom. Liu Qi didn't know when she would come back, so he specially arranged a courtyard for Ling Yunzi.
Residence for temporary residence.
…
In the small courtyard, there are four stone benches surrounding a stone table. There are several plates of side dishes placed on the stone table. Sitting on the stone bench is a middle-aged man wearing a robe, a tough face, and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.
But at this time, the middle-aged man looked gloomy and obviously didn't have much appetite.
Ling Yunzi didn't know how strong Luo Hu was, but after Huang Tianci fell and Ji Wushuang left, there was no doubt that he was the undisputed top of the Xiaoyao list.
Especially after his relationship with Feng Qianning warmed up in the past year, and he directly went through the tribulation to forge his soul, his strength is even more unfathomable.
But even Luo Hu, who was so powerful in Ling Yunzi's eyes, was easily defeated, and he could only watch helplessly as Feng Qianning became a prisoner with him.
Faced with this situation, Ling Yunzi naturally felt powerless.
At this time, the only people he could think of and who had the ability to come forward were the geniuses from Tianyun Kingdom, Ji Wushuang, Ling Xue, and Ling Qingzhu.
But when talking about these three people, Ling Yunzi couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Ling Xue was already familiar with Luo Hu and Feng Qian Ning. Back then, Luo Hu personally entered Wuwang City to fight against Emperor Tianci for Ling Xue.
If Ling Xue learns that Luo Hu and Feng Qian Ning are in trouble, she will definitely lend a helping hand.
Unfortunately, the news of Ling Xue's death in Jinghai Kingdom had already reached Tianyun Kingdom a few months ago.
The second choice in Ling Yunzi's mind for help was not Ling Qingzhu, but Ji Wushuang.
Because after the news of Ling Xue's death came out, what also came out at the same time was the identity of the leader of the Ling Qingzhu Merchant Alliance and his amazing record of killing a Shenxuan Emperor.
Emperor Shenxuan and Emperor Shentong had to bow their heads and salute even when they saw him. This was a big figure that only existed in legends, but Ling Qingzhu killed one of them with his own hands, shocking the entire China.
The half-demon emperor Ling Xue fell by the weak waters of the Yellow Spring in the Mirror Sea Kingdom. The news that Emperor Xuanting and the True Emperor Red Spirit were slaying demons and promoting the righteous path had already spread throughout China, and Emperor Xuanting was able to ring the imperial bell.
.
It was impossible for Ling Qingzhu not to know about this matter, but it had been nearly half a year and Ling Qingzhu had not responded at all, which had to make Ling Yunzi think more.
Ji Wushuang had also been admitted to the Tianyun Martial Palace and was accepted as a disciple by the former Palace Master Xia Xingxuan, treating him as his own son.
It's a pity that Ji Wushuang is missing. Otherwise, for the sake of Tianyun Wu Mansion, even if he goes out of his way to show the kindness of the deceased old mansion master, he will still ask Ji Wushuang to take action.
Ling Yunzi was also very anxious. He came all the way to the Merchant Alliance because he had no other choice.
It can't be said that he and Ling Qingzhu don't have any affection. After all, he had done something to protect Ling Qingzhu when he was in Huangxincheng.
However, this affection is not deep. Even if he can ask Ling Qingzhu to take action, this affection is exhausted.
It has been a month since Luo Huan and Feng Qianning were captured. They don't know whether they are alive or dead. As the leader of the Sword Sect, Ling Yunzi came all the way to the headquarters of the Changgu International Business Alliance to ask Ling Qingzhu to take action, but he still hasn't seen anyone.
Currently, the Tianyun Martial Mansion is headed by Xia Yun, the leader of the Soul Sect, and several elders.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door, which immediately shocked Ling Yunzi, and he quickly opened the courtyard door.
This is the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance, and it is definitely one of the safest places in China. Ling Yunzi does not need people outside his fellow Taoists to do anything bad to him.
It has been more than ten days since Ling Yunzi came here and was received by Liu Qi and learned that Ling Qingzhu was not in the business alliance. Liu Qi sent someone to arrange for him to stay here temporarily.
No one has been here in the past ten days or so. There was only one possibility that someone suddenly knocked on the courtyard door. Ling Qingzhu was back.
However, when Ling Yunzi opened the courtyard door and saw someone coming outside, he was still surprised.
White mask, plain and elegant dress, long hair hanging naturally from the shoulders without any decoration, and a tall figure that makes most women look up to and envy her.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ling Yunzi originally thought that Ling Qingzhu was coming back and someone came to notify him to pay a visit, but he didn't expect that Ling Qingzhu would come to visit in person.
And his attitude towards him was the same as before, not as majestic as the leader of the merchant alliance, nor as condescending as a powerful man.
Ling Yunzi suddenly felt that Ling Qingzhu had never changed. She was still the same girl as before. But because of the difference in identity and strength, others added their own subjective impressions to her without permission.
"Well, long time no see."
In fact, it was less than a year since they last met, but it seemed like a long time had passed. Ling Yunzi didn't know what to say for a moment and could only respond dryly.
Then he turned slightly sideways and invited Ling Qingzhu inside.
