The entire secret room suddenly fell silent, and everyone frowned, clearly having also thought of it.
They were blinded by the news about the Hehuan Bell and never thought of this step.
If Qingyun Sect really is setting a trap, then the intelligence base they painstakingly built in Heyang City will likely suffer a severe blow.
"Sigh!" Hongxiao sighed. "Thank you so much, Junior Sister! If you hadn't pointed it out so suddenly, we might have had a hard time dealing with the situation later."
The other four were also speechless. They had finally gotten a chance to find the Hehuan Bell, but it turned out to be a trap.
We can only be more cautious from now on.
These Hehuan Sect disciples were furious with Daoxuan, wishing he could curse him to death for secretly investigating them while they were at a brothel!
They were already somewhat worried, and were even considering whether to flee overnight.
"Senior sister, don't worry. According to what you said, these two have been gone for so long without any news, so they should be safe and sound!" Jin Ping'er thought for a moment, then remembered the two people from Yixinzhai and comforted them.
She was now fairly certain that the two people were Qingyun Sect disciples who had spent an hour or two at Liuguang Tower.
No wonder the owner of Yixinzhai, surnamed Bai, knew so much about Li Qing'an. He was a disciple of Qingyun Sect, and the person behind him was very likely Li Qing'an.
Only Li Qing'an would do such unreasonable things, and yet two Qingyun Sect disciples are willing to help him!
It has to be said that Li Qing'an's reputation for holding grudges and his bad reputation have spread throughout the entire cultivation world.
Jin Ping'er considered her words for a moment before telling the five people her guess.
He then pondered which disciples in the Qingyun Sect had records that matched these two individuals.
However, after she finished recalling, she couldn't find anyone who looked similar. It seemed that the two of them were disguised.
At that moment, the five women inside the house simultaneously cried out in alarm.
"What?! That Qingyun disciple surnamed Bai actually runs a study in Heyang City?!"
This news was like a gentle breeze stirring the hearts of several people, creating ripples in their hearts.
They worked so hard in the brothel, using their beauty to please men, even living in constant fear, only to have their junior sister go out for a stroll and find out about one of the Qingyun Sect disciples' hideouts in Heyang City.
And it seems to be a place related to Li Qing'an.
This made the group feel quite ashamed.
The woman in purple, in particular, had initially been a little jealous of her master's affection for her junior sister, but unexpectedly, she received a pleasant surprise in less than half a day.
"Books...a study? Qingyun Sect disciples also accept books from ordinary people..."
The woman in white murmured to herself, somewhat surprised by this unexpected turn of events.
Those who cultivate themselves all spend their days studying cultivation secrets and methods; who reads those books for ordinary people?
They believed that although they had not yet become immortals, the difference in their lifespans meant they no longer cared about mortals.
The two sides are worlds apart. Even if they want to practice the secret art of love, they have to go through layers of screening, and they are only selected from rogue cultivators.
Or perhaps we can cultivate some discerning individuals to embark on a spiritual journey.
They often trained ordinary women to run brothels in order to gather information.
Chapter 137 Tian Ling'er's Ambush!
Closer to home.
Jin Ping'er nodded. "And it seems they're collecting rare books? If we want to gather information, we can cater to their interests. The shopkeeper is rather dull; we could send a disciple to investigate!"
Hongxiao pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Ping'er is right! Elders can send disciples to go there privately; they might even be able to learn about the Qingyun Sect from the manager of Yixinzhai!"
The group had no objections, chatted for a few more minutes, and then left.
Jin Ping'er's room in Heyang City.
She stood by the window, stretched, and showed off her graceful figure, but unfortunately no one was watching.
On the table next to him was a book, "The True Understanding of Cultivation - Spiritual Energy Chapter," which Li Qing'an had casually given him.
"I don't believe an ordinary Qingyun Sect disciple could write this book!"
Jin Ping'er muttered to herself.
She originally disliked Li Qing'an, partly because she thought the two of them were just people who indulged in romantic escapades, and partly because she thought the books written by the boss mentioned by Han Ling were misleading.
But now it seems that it's completely wrong.
“Spiritual energy is born from the interaction of Yin and Yang in Heaven and Earth. Its essence gathers into spirit, disperses into mist, flows through mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and is hidden in plants, trees, metals and stones. It is the foundation of the life of cultivators!” Jin Ping’er silently recited the first sentence of the “Spiritual Energy Chapter” in her heart, feeling somewhat shocked.
No one in the cultivation world has ever summarized the existence of spiritual energy in this way, nor has anyone discussed why spiritual energy exists.
She was now even more curious about Li Qing'an behind the Yixinzhai.
Furthermore, at the end of the "Reiki Chapter," there is a sentence:
"On the path of cultivation, the spirit is the boat and the heart is the helmsman. Even if one is nourished by the spiritual tides of heaven and earth, without cultivating one's character, it will all be like a mirage!"
This also reveals the author's aspiration to follow the Tao.
.......
Qingyun Gate, Dazhu Peak, Li Qing'an's courtyard.
Late at night.
The bright moon hung high in the sky, its reflection shimmering in the pond in the courtyard. The entire environment was so quiet, except for the woman in red sitting on Li Qing'an's recliner!
The courtyard below was like a clear, still pool, with algae and duckweed crisscrossing in the water, which were actually the shadows of bamboo and cypress trees!
A streak of azure light sped from afar, then stopped a short distance away, looking at its courtyard with a surprised expression.
'Why is Ling'er in the courtyard?' Li Qing'an wondered to himself.
Could it be that Zeng Shushu has been exposed?
But that shouldn't be the case, because Tian Ling'er has been keeping a close eye on him these past few days, as if she knew he was going out to explore, so she's been taking extra precautions when he goes out.
There shouldn't be any exposed female feet.
Li Qing'an's mind wandered as he carefully considered any possible oversights.
And now he is essentially experiencing the mysteries of foot massage, feeling the imminent discovery by his family.
But he suddenly came to his senses. He hadn't done anything wrong, and he had even explained the great principles of the world to a female cultivator. What was there to be afraid of?
Why worry unnecessarily?
The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting.
Li Qingan steadied himself, sniffed at any possible scent on his body, and then nodded.

The door slowly opened, and Tian Ling'er stared intently at the person behind it.
Before she could speak, Li Qing'an looked at Tian Ling'er, who was dressed in red, and asked directly, "Ling'er, what brings you to me so late at night?"
"Humph!"
Tian Ling'er got up from the recliner and sneered, "Oh, isn't this our famous Eighth Branch Leader of the Qingyun Sect! Why aren't you sleeping in your room so late? Why are you coming back from outside? Could it be that there's some vixen out there!"
As Tian Ling'er spoke, she walked to Li Qing'an's side, her nostrils flaring slightly, and her bright eyes carefully examined Li Qing'an's clothes, as if looking for any clues.
Li Qingan coughed a few times, afraid that she might have noticed something, and changed the subject, "Why are you here so late at night! Are you scared and can't sleep?"
Tian Ling'er was unusually quick-witted and was not affected by Li Qing'an. Seeing that Li Qing'an did not have the scent of a fox spirit, she simply asked.
"You still know how to come back! Tell me! Did Zeng Shushu take you to Heyang City to fool around?!"
With her hands on her hips and a hint of anger on her face, her fiery red outfit had a unique charm under the moonlight.
Upon hearing this, Li Qingan's heart skipped a beat!
He knew very well that when he sneaked out, he had used his magic to carefully check whether there was anyone around within a few kilometers.
Can this be discovered?
'No! Could it be that Zeng Shushu gave me away? But that doesn't make sense either. Zeng Shushu has gone down there so many times; it's impossible for him to be exposed after just one trip with me! I'm not exactly unlucky.'
Li Qing'an pondered in his heart, but his face showed a wronged expression.
"Ling'er, what are you doing? I have something to take care of outside!"
"Ha, you went out to handle some matters without even taking the Luoshu Array Plate or the Wangxian with you. What kind of matters are you going out to handle?"
Li Qing'an suddenly realized, feeling both amused and exasperated.
He looked at the clever woman in front of him. She was no longer the naive girl she had been before. She had grown tall and graceful, with bright almond eyes and a touch of heroism in her brows.
"So, that's your reason for coming to a grown man's room alone at night?"
"I...I...I didn't want to go to your room if it weren't yours!"
Tian Ling'er confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Li Qing'an, but was then asked a question by Li Qing'an.
He immediately realized that his behavior was out of line and hurriedly tried to explain, but by the end his explanation was almost inaudible.
Li Qingan smiled as he looked at the girl who had matured considerably.
"Oh dear... I'm asking you this, why are you asking me this?" Tian Ling'er looked up at Li Qing'an's deep eyes, her little face puffed up with a blush, and she seemed a little flustered.
"If I don't ask clearly, what if I'm taking a shower in my room one day and you come in and peep at me? Then I'll lose my innocence!" Li Qingan said recklessly.
"Who...who was peeping at you while you were showering! Clear your name!"
Tian Ling'er is already nineteen years old this year, but she has never heard anyone say such things, especially not to the person she loves.
Instead of rejecting it, she carefully considered Li Qing'an's words, and looked up slightly at his figure under the black robe, wondering what it would be like, and whether it was as described in the book!
While thinking, I peeked up from below until I saw a pair of smiling eyes.
Startled, his face turned bright red in an instant. He stammered, gasped for breath, and felt as if white smoke was rising from his head.
Li Qingan watched this scene with amusement; it was just too ridiculous.
"Want to see?" Li Qing'an added fuel to the fire, making a move to take off his black robe for her to see.
He was quite satisfied with his physique, which he had achieved through practicing the Sun and Moon Shining Together Technique.
Without being modest, there is no one in the entire world of Jade Dynasty who is stronger than him.
