“You should be very clear about what this means.”
Hearing this, Fu Shuangni also became serious. “If what you said is true, then this Cultivator Bai might have entered the Immortal Cultivation Simulator earlier than any of us.”
“He might even… know our identities when he came into contact with us.”
“However…”
Fu Shuangni’s tone suddenly changed, and with some confusion, she could not help but ask, “Even if Cultivator Bai is really the candidate invited by the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, there doesn’t seem to be any conflict with us, right?”
At this moment, it was Chen Qianxue’s turn to be stunned. For a moment, she actually had no reason to refute Fu Shuangni’s words.
That’s right! They were both invited by the simulator, so what if they were the same person?
As long as there was no conflict of interest, there would be no problem.
Furthermore, there would not be any conflict of interest.
After all, everyone’s interests were in the simulator. What conflict could there be in reality?
“… Whew!” After a few breaths of silence, Chen Qianxue suddenly laughed. With a self-mocking tone, she felt relieved, with a complicated expression, she said with a smile, “After so many simulations of Immortal cultivation, I seem to have become so cautious that I’m suspicious. You’re right. I seem to have gotten into a dead end.”
Dying in the simulator did not make Chen Qianxue feel any respect for death.
At best, she did not have any respect for death in the world of the simulator.
In reality, she was not willing to face death.
There was nothing to be embarrassed about. Apart from some mentally deranged Immortal cultivators, most of them thought the same way.
This led to any movement in reality making her instantly raise her alertness. It made his heart tense up, causing all sorts of suspicions to arise.
Luckily, this time, Fu Shuangni’s question woke Chen Qianxue up.
Otherwise… Chen Qianxue felt that if she continued like this, she would have Mental Demons sooner or later.
“Thank you.” Chen Qianxue said, “Your one sentence woke me up.”
Fu Shuangni wanted to say that it was nothing, but suddenly, she smiled and changed her words, “If you want to thank me, why don’t you follow me and stay in Qinghe County?”
Chen Qianxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Fu Shuangni’s expression.
She knew what Fu Shuangni was thinking.
“If I remember correctly, you told me in the simulator that you came to Qinghe County to investigate the Sacred Heart Palace’s demon cultivators. Don’t tell me you want me to help you?” Chen Qianxue asked.
Fu Shuangni, who was exposed, did not feel embarrassed. She was thick-skinned and smiled, “We can work together in the simulator or in reality.”
Chen Qianxue hesitated for a while and felt Fu Shuangni’s gaze.
She smiled helplessly, “Alright, I have already made up my mind to stay in Qinghe County for a period of time.”
…
At the same time.
Outside the city walls of Qinghe County, three people with weak auras appeared.
The three of them stood there quietly. The people of Qinghe County were walking around.
However, not a single one of them would look at the three of them.
It was as if everyone who passed by would ignore the three of them.
The three of them were all men. At first glance, each of them was not young.
The two on the left and right seemed to be in their forties or fifties.
The one on the left seemed to have a palm that was several times bigger than an ordinary person’s. He looked ordinary and did not have any facial features that were worthy of praise.
The person on the right was tall and skinny. His eyes were calm and his expression was extremely dull, as though he did not have any emotions.
The person in the middle seemed to be the leader of the three.
It was an old man with white hair.
The old man turned his head and looked at the person on the left. What was strange was that the person on the right had the same expression as the old man. His calm eyes looked at the person on the left.
The two gazes caused the person on the left to feel immense pressure.
At this moment, the old man spoke to the person on the left in a normal voice, “Are you sure that the Little Princess is in this city?”
The middle-aged man on the left lowered his head and replied respectfully, “Your Excellency, this subordinate has been keeping an eye on the Little Princess in the dark. We can confirm that she is in Qinghe County.”
The old man frowned and asked, “You have been watching her for so long, but you still haven’t found an opportunity? You even asked for help from the higher-ups and asked them to send me here? As far as I know, that man surnamed Hei has already died at the hands of the demonic beasts.”
“Logically speaking, there are only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators left by the side of the Little Princess. You are at the first level of the Golden Core stage, and you still haven’t found any opportunity?”
The middle-aged man could not help but say bitterly, “Lord, you don’t know. Back then, Elder Hei risked his life to fight with a great demon, and in order to save the Little Princess, that was my best opportunity. However, I didn’t expect that halfway through, an itinerant cultivator of the Golden Core stage would appear!”
“If it wasn’t for the fact that my methods of concealing my aura were very profound, I reckon that I would have been discovered by that Golden Core at that time. Later, I don’t know what conditions the Little Princess promised that meddlesome loose cultivator.”
“That Golden Core itinerant cultivator has been following her all along, so this humble servant would find it even more difficult to find an opportunity to make a move.”
