Chapter 1078 Hot Potato

Zhou Yiqiao forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart, holding the spiritual tea in his hand and remaining silent.

After a long time, he raised his head and stared at Sun Yunchang with burning eyes.

"Does Liu Rushui know about these things?"

This matter is extremely important to Zhou Yiqiao. After all, he doesn't want to take over a hot potato from Sun Yunchang because of his momentary negligence.

Sun Yunchang shook his head and had to tell the truth.

"When Liu Rushui was just born, the previous demon king was killed by the current demon king, and not a single bone was left."

"As for the child Rushui, his mother took him all the way to the border between Zhongzhou and Zoroastrianism. After his mother died, he went around in circles and finally fell into my hands."

"When I rescued her, she was just a baby. How could she know these things?"

"However, as she grew older, she gradually showed some extraordinary talents, and I realized that her life experience might not be simple."

"Over the years, I have been investigating secretly, and only recently did I confirm her true identity."

"But this matter is of great importance. I have never dared to act rashly, for fear of bringing disaster to her."

Having said that, Sun Yunchang knelt down in front of Zhou Yiqiao, his eyes full of pleading.

“I know that if Manager Zhou takes Rushui into Qingdan Pavilion, he will inevitably face many risks and pressures.”

"But I beg Manager Zhou to consider our friendship over the years and allow Rushui to remain anonymous and live a good life!"

Sun Yunchang's pleading voice fell on Zhou Yiqiao's ears like a heavy hammer, almost forcing Zhou Yiqiao to retreat.

"Alas, Shopkeeper Sun, why do you have to do this?"

"Although Zhou will definitely not keep Liu Rushui by his side given her identity, it does not mean that there is no suitable place for Liu Rushui to go."

Zhou Yiqiao sighed and reached out to help Sun Yunchang up.

"Liu Rushui's talent is already excellent, and she also possesses the special physique of the Qinglin clan. Although Zhou's Qingdan Pavilion cannot accommodate this big Buddha, there is a place that will definitely be happy to accept this girl."

"Oh? Which place is the one that Shopkeeper Zhou mentioned?"

Sun Yunchang asked anxiously, with an earnest light in his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled.

"Zhongzhou Holy Sect, Qinjian Villa."

When Sun Yunchang heard this, he was shocked beyond words.

There was a gleam of disbelief in his eyes and his lips were slightly parted, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.

"Zhongzhou Saint Sect, can Rushui really become a disciple of the Saint Sect?!"

There was a hint of trembling in Sun Yunchang's voice, and his mood was like a turbulent sea, unable to calm down.

"Of course, Zhou has some connections in Qinjian Villa, so it is easy for him to send Liu Rushui to Qinjian Villa as an outer disciple."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded with a calm expression.

Sun Yunchang felt relieved when he heard this. He looked at Zhou Yiqiao gratefully, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude.

"Manager Zhou, I will never forget your kindness!"

He bowed deeply, his voice full of gratitude.

Zhou Yiqiao waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to do so.

"Manager Sun, I am just trying to evade responsibility. You don't have to be polite."

As he spoke, he stood up and returned the greeting to Sun Yunchang.

"In that case, I will go back to Qingdan Pavilion to contact my old friends at Qinjian Villa. When Shopkeeper Sun leaves the market, I will come to see him off."

Sun Yunchang also hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Zhou Yiqiao again.

"Manager Zhou, thank you for your help."

"I will thank you again when I leave the market."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly, turned and walked out the door.

Although the Liu Rushui matter is tricky, it may not be a bad thing if it can be handled properly as he envisioned.

If Liu Rushui's identity is handed over to Qing Jimeng, he might be able to turn the tables on the Great Elder and make his plan of smuggling spiritual objects from Zoroastrianism fail completely.

After quickly returning to Qingdan Pavilion, Zhou Yiqiao used the communication spirit to get in touch with Qing Jimeng.

"Zhou Yiqiao, I'm in seclusion now. You'd better discuss something important with me. Otherwise, I'll make you pay after you return to Qinjian Villa."

On the other end of the communication spirit object, Qing Jimeng's voice was cold and majestic. She was at a critical moment in her cultivation, and was naturally displeased by being disturbed by Zhou Yiqiao.

Zhou Yiqiao's heart trembled, but thinking of Liu Rushui's matter, he could only bite the bullet and say it.

"Miss, Zhou does have an important request."

"Say!"

Although Qing Jimeng's voice was cold, it could be heard that she was still willing to listen to Zhou Yiqiao's explanation.

Zhou Yiqiao sorted out his thoughts and told Qing Jimeng everything about Liu Rushui and Sun Yunchang's request.

Finally, he said in a deep voice.

"Miss, Liu Rushui not only has a special identity, but also has the blood of the Qinglin clan and is gifted with extraordinary talents."

"From what I see, if we can recruit her into Qinjian Villa, even if Qinjian Villa cannot use Liu Rushui's identity to gain benefits in Zoroastrianism in the future, it would be a great deal just to add a peerless genius to Qinjian Villa."

On the other end of the communication spirit object, Qing Jimeng was silent for a moment, obviously considering Zhou Yiqiao's suggestion.

"You have a point, but I cannot decide this matter alone. I will give you an answer after discussing it with the elders."

Qing Jimeng did not agree immediately in the end, but chose a more prudent way of handling the matter.

"Zhou understands. I will follow the eldest lady's arrangements."

Zhou Yiqiao breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that since Qing Jimeng was willing to consider it, then things would turn around.

Qing Jimeng’s last words came through the communication spirit.

"Zhou Yiqiao, please let Liu Rushui go to Qinjian Villa first."

"Even if the elders do not agree to take him into the villa, we can still use him as a way to convey messages to each other."

"Also, I will need to remain in seclusion for at least fifty years, and no orders will be given to you during this period."

"If there is anything you need to do, you can do it during this time."

"When I come out of seclusion, it will be the time for a formal showdown with the Great Elder's lineage. At that time, I will need your full cooperation, and there will be no idle days."

"Thank you for your care, Miss. I will obey your orders."

Zhou Yiqiao responded seriously, and then the light of the communication object gradually dissipated.

Zhou Yiqiao stood there in silence for a long time before he slowly let out a breath.

Being able to successfully get rid of the hot potato of Liu Rushui, the pressure in his heart was relieved a lot.

In the following days, Zhou Yiqiao became busy.

After sending Liu Rushui and Sun Yunchang out of the market one after another, he also wanted to travel far away because of Qing Jimeng's words. After entrusting the Qingdan Pavilion to a shrewd servant in the store, he embarked on a journey of traveling far away.
