Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"Although the Villa will not be directly involved in this matter, we will still send a team of relatively smart and capable disciples to help you."

In the front-line camp, Qing Lietian's voice was transmitted to the ears of Xu Hanchang and Zhou Yiqiao through the jade slip.

"In that case, I'll trouble you to take care of it."

After Xu Hanchang made a few polite remarks, he took the initiative to end the contact between the two parties.

"Just as I expected, both of us were too optimistic."

He turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao standing beside him with a serious expression.

“It’s a matter of course.”

Zhou Yiqiao had long seen through Qing Lietian's character and had anticipated his attitude towards Qinjian Villa, so he was not surprised at all.

"But Qinjian Villa is unwilling to participate, which is a great thing for the two of us."

"In the past, we fought for Qinjian Villa, and we had many concerns, so our actions were inevitably restricted."

“Now, although we have no direct backing, we have unprecedented freedom and decision-making power.”

A smile appeared on Xu Hanchang's face.

“Although with our individual strength, we are definitely not able to participate in the three holy places’ division of High Heaven Palace, but the forces under High Heaven Palace can still take a bite.”

"As long as I can chew this piece of fat, even if it's just a bone, it will be a great tonic!"

"Don't be afraid of being laughed at by Brother Zhou. I have more than a dozen spirit beasts under my command. Each of them consumes a large amount of spirit stones. Now that there is such an opportunity to earn spirit stones in front of me, I am really jealous."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and echoed.

"Who isn't?"

“Although the Netherworld Demon Sect abandoned me, my master, White Bone Daoist Master, has always treated me as his own son and allowed me to train many demon clan subordinates on Wangu Mountain.”

"These subordinates usually help me solve all the trivial matters, so I am naturally responsible for their way to longevity."

"Compared to Brother Xu, my situation is better, but I still have a lot of burden."

Xu Hanchang laughed out loud.

"Brother Zhou is right. As masters, we should not only pursue breakthroughs in our own realms, but also take care of our partners around us."

"This turmoil in the High Heaven Palace is precarious, and contains countless opportunities. This is the perfect time for us to demonstrate our strength and accumulate resources."

"In this way, once the young lady and the monk team arrive, we can officially join this gluttonous feast..."

......

Time always passes quickly when doing nothing. Zhou Yiqiao and Xu Hanchang rested in this residence for a week, and then they waited for Qing Jimeng who came from Qinjian Villa.

Behind the woman was a team of elite disciples dressed in the unique uniforms of Qinjian Villa.

All of these people had serious expressions and fierce looks on their faces. They were obviously the elite forces of Qinjian Villa who were rarely exposed to the outside world.

Qing Jimeng, dressed in an elegant green shirt, stood out among the crowd. She walked into the camp with light steps and soon saw Zhou Yiqiao and Xu Hanchang who came to greet her.

"Junior Sister Qing, how are you?"

Xu Hanchang was the first to bow, his words full of teasing towards Qing Jimeng.

"Senior Brother Xu is embarrassing me."

"Junior sister left the sect without my father's permission. Now she is just an ordinary cultivator. She doesn't deserve such respect from you, senior brother."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hanchang looked at the monks from Qinjian Villa who were following Qing Jimeng closely, smiled and said nothing more.

"Miss."

Zhou Yiqiao also bowed.

"This trip is full of risks. It is rare for the young lady to come here in person. Brother Xu and I will do our best to protect the young lady."

Qing Jimeng already felt indebted to Zhou Yiqiao, so naturally he did not dare to accept this gift.

She dodged and waved at Zhou Yiqiao.

"You are too polite, Brother Zhou. Now that Brother Zhou has made great achievements, we should address each other as peers. Brother Zhou, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me by my name."

Qing Jimeng's voice is clear and soft, giving people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze.

After some thought, Zhou Yiqiao felt that since the other party had temporarily left Qinjian Villa, she probably wouldn't want to be called Miss anymore, so he nodded and followed Qing Jimeng's advice.

After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, the group went into Xu Hanchang's residence to discuss the next plan.

"During the time that Junior Sister Qing is away, Brother Zhou and I have already made a rough plan."

"We two thought that Junior Sister has been handling the affairs of the villa for many years and should be very familiar with this kind of planning, so we thought of asking Junior Sister to correct us."

Xu Hanchang took out a piece of thin silk with his own words written on it from his sleeve and placed it in front of Qing Jimeng.

"I can't call myself an axe-maker. If I can contribute something to Senior Brother and Fellow Daoist Zhou's plan, it would be an honor for me, Junior Sister."

Qing Jimeng gently took the fine silk, unfolded it and looked at it carefully, his brows sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed, carefully considering every detail.

"Brother Xu and Brother Zhou's plan is thorough and detailed, and it does take into account many variables."

"I don't know the specific situation as well as you two do, so I can't comment too much. But I think there is something wrong with this one point."

Zhou Yiqiao saw Qing Jimeng's concerns and immediately comforted him with a smile.

"If you have any ideas, feel free to speak up, Friend Qing. This plan was put together by the two of us at the last minute, so it naturally has many shortcomings."

Xu Hanchang followed suit.

"Yes, this matter is of great importance. Junior Sister Qing, you don't have to worry about our reputation. Just speak boldly."

Qing Jimeng's gaze moved slowly across the fine silk, finally stopping on a detail.

"Senior Brother Xu and Fellow Daoist Zhou mentioned in their plan that they would secretly contact the forces outside of the High Heaven Palace and erode the puppet forces of the High Heaven Palace by provoking conflicts between these forces. I, Junior Sister, strongly agree with this."

"But the plan mentioned that in order to avoid attracting the attention of the High Heaven Palace, we have to leave Qinjian Villa and go to the High Heaven Palace's sphere of influence alone. I think this needs to be considered."

Her voice was calm and soothing, like a clear mountain spring, refreshing to the heart.

"If we leave Qinjian Villa's jurisdiction, it will reduce the suspicion of Lingxiao Palace, but we will also lose Qinjian Villa's protection."

"Once we encounter danger within the sphere of influence of Lingxiao Palace, without the support of Qinjian Villa, our chances of survival will be greatly reduced."

“Although father and his men are unwilling to participate in this encirclement and suppression, they will at least maintain a standoff with them until High Heaven Palace is completely destroyed.”

"During this period, if we have any problems that we cannot solve, we can still turn to Qinjian Villa for help and use the villa's resources and intelligence network to provide necessary support for our actions."

"So Junior Sister thinks that we cannot leave the area of ​​Qinjian Villa."
