Chapter 463 Trouble is Coming
At this moment, Lin Que and Liu Qingyi immediately thought of Qi Lianyue and the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart that Qi Lianyue possessed.
But then I thought about it again, and it seemed a little different.
Because the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart can only vaguely perceive a person's goodness or badness, and a somewhat blurry future, although Zhou Qiao'er's current situation is somewhat similar, there are obviously still some differences.
After all, it's impossible to know what someone is saying without spiritual sense invading their mind. Zhou Qiao'er, however, can directly know what everyone nearby is saying in their minds.
To put it simply, it's like mind reading.
However, if we really have to compare, Qi Lianyue's quick wit is still stronger.
However, Zhou Qiao'er's actions still aroused the curiosity of Lin Que and the others. Could this be another talent of some race?
Strangely, Wang Yu had just subtly hinted to Lin Que that he didn't know which clan Zhou Qi and Zhou Qiao'er belonged to.
"Young friend Lin, I'm sorry." Just as Lin Que and the others were wondering, Zhou Qi's expression returned to calm, and he said to Lin Que with a hint of apology, "It was my daughter who was impolite. I hope you won't take offense!"
At this moment, Zhou Qiao'er seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have, and she quieted down for a while. However, on her clever and mischievous face, her pair of bright and beautiful eyes were still blinking at Lin Que.
"It's alright, Boss Zhou." Upon hearing this, Lin Que immediately waved his hand and laughed, "It's just innocent childish talk, I didn't take it to heart."
"Hahaha!"
After saying that, Lin Que burst into unrestrained laughter, his expression frivolous and indifferent, with a hint of cynicism in his eyes, just like a scion of a powerful clan.
After all, if you're going to pretend, you have to do it convincingly; you can't just give yourself away right away.
If it were before, it wouldn't have mattered, but now it seems that this father and daughter are not simple people, which makes Lin Que have to be more cautious.
Seeing Lin Que's spoiled and dissolute demeanor, Zhou Qi actually felt a sense of relief.
The procession slowly made its way towards the Heavenly Demon City. The two sides on the hearse did not exchange any more words, but simply chatted with their respective people.
During this time, Zhou Qi did not know why Lin Que insisted on being their guard, and Lin Que did not ask Zhou Qi and Zhou Qiao'er what they were doing in Tianyao City. A tacit understanding was formed between them.
If Lin Que were to ask the question rashly, it would probably only arouse Zhou Qi's suspicion.
As long as the goal is achieved, that's fine. Although this father and daughter are rather mysterious, their ultimate goals are different, and they may never cross paths again after parting ways.
As for why Lin Que was so cautious, it was simply because he was afraid that they might have some dealings with the cultivators of Chongming, so he continued to pretend to be a playboy.
As time passed, it soon became evening, and a small city gradually came into view of the group.
Zhou Qi then gave the order, and the entire team headed into the city. Clearly, they intended to stay there for the night and did not plan to set up camp outside or continue their journey.
After all, Zhou Qi was very wealthy, so there was no need for him to make himself suffer. Moreover, he generously booked the best inn in the city, which made Lin Que marvel at the man's wealth once again.
I regretted once again that I hadn't extended more fingers.
......
In an inn in a small town that night, Lin Que and his companions sat together again.
"Senior Wang, can't you really tell the origins of this father and daughter?" Lin Que asked curiously, taking a sip of tea.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yu frowned deeply, then slowly relaxed after a moment, and sighed, "To be honest, I really can't tell either. I've tried to recall it in my mind, and it seems to be the same."
"Although they have the very obvious feature of two horns, there are too many races with two horns on their heads in the Illusion Demon Continent."
But one thing I'm sure of!
"Then the origin of this father and daughter must be extraordinary. They can actually ignore the dragon's might on you, kid. That means they must be from a powerful clan."
"They might even be the main branch of that clan!"
Lin Que had previously learned from Wang Yu that among the demon races of the Illusion Demon Continent, bloodlines were highly valued, which is why there was a distinction between main and secondary bloodlines.
The main lineage members of each clan are stronger and more prestigious than those of the secondary lineages.
Although large human cultivator families also value bloodlines, it doesn't seem to place as much importance on them as the demon races of the Illusionary Demon Continent.
Most human cultivators still value talent and foundation.
"Forget it, we're just hitching a ride anyway, and our ultimate goals are different." Lin Que shook his head and said, "There's no need to dwell on their origins. Let's just treat them as passersby."
After chatting for a while, the group returned to their respective rooms to rest.
The next morning, after the team had regrouped, they set off again, and several more days passed quickly.
Nothing major happened in the past few days. Only a few groups of demon cultivators, seeing that the group was very wealthy, tried to rob them.
The consequences are self-evident. These two or three groups of demon cultivators, who have no sense of propriety whatsoever, don't require Lin Que and his group to take action. The guards that Zhou Qi had previously hired are more than enough to deal with them.
As the journey continued, Zhou Qiao'er, inside the hearse, finally couldn't hold back any longer and took the initiative to start a conversation with Lin Que and the others.
This time, however, her topic was Wang Chen, who was standing next to Lin Que.
She looked curiously at Wang Chen, who had his eyes closed, and asked Lin Que, "Big brother, what is this bald young man doing?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Que's eyes darted around, and he smiled and said, "He's currently contemplating life."
"I am pondering the fundamental questions of life: 'Who am I, where did I come from, and where am I going?'"
"Qiao'er, are you also curious about this question of life?"
"Do you need me to clear up your doubts?"
Upon hearing this, everyone tilted their heads, their faces full of question marks.
Even Wang Chen slightly opened his eyes, looking at Lin Que with a puzzled expression.
Clearly, Lin Que was talking nonsense; Wang Chen was simply doing what Buddhist monks do—closing his eyes and silently reciting scriptures.
Lin Que was just bored and wanted to tease Zhou Qiao'er.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhou Qiao'er murmured, "So those incomprehensible words that the bald young man was just reciting were his reflections on life!"
really!
Again!
Zhou Qiao'er, that little girl, really can hear what others are saying in their hearts.
But for some reason, Zhou Qi didn't shout at this time. Instead, he closed his eyes and rested, completely unconcerned about what was happening.
Soon, Zhou Qiao'er looked at Lin Que with shining eyes and said, "Then big brother, please answer Qiao'er's question quickly."
"Okay!" Lin Que smiled slightly.
Just as he was about to share his philosophy of life with Zhou Qiao'er, he suddenly frowned!
Not only that, Zhou Qi, Wang Yu, Liu Qingyi and the others who were closing their eyes suddenly opened their eyes!
Just then, dozens of auras were rapidly approaching them from outside the hearse, and some of them were extremely terrifying!
It was actually the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
