There are thousands of Xianmen schools in the ancient Xuan domain, and the Xian caves are scattered all over the place. However, the truly powerful forces that can rise to prominence are actually not many. Just like the three major Xian holy lands, the seven major Xian evil lands, and the four ancient Xian families that have been passed down for tens of thousands of years, as well as the nine major spiritual countries. Apart from these top-notch Xian forces, powers like Wu Meng and Longyuan Yu Jian Garden can also rival them.
Each major force has its own interests divided, and it is inevitable to arrange for fine works in other major forces, which is called a mole.
The Bai family, Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden and the Zhongzhou imperial family, these three major forces are competing for the Holy City of Huadu. The relationship between the three is bound to be hostile, and it's impossible that there isn't a mole from the other two sides infiltrating the Bai Manor. Guo Yao suspects that this Liu Dazhen might be one of them.
To know that Ximen Lang and Nan Gong Yang are old hands in the field of debauchery, they are also top-notch masters among the top 20 in the "Ling Bang" list. Ordinary people would only fall into their trap, but this Liu aunt actually turned them down, which must be revealing some ulterior motives.
"These two rascals mustn't be done in by this old auntie."
Kuo Yeh, wearing the uniform of a third-class guard, could come and go freely in the outer courtyard of the White Mansion during the day. He had already asked someone about the whereabouts of those two unlucky third-class house guards and was now hurrying over to their place.
The servants of the White House may only live on the outskirts, but it must be said that the treatment of the White family to their servants is indeed higher than that of the Zhongzhou imperial court.
Each of the family guards or escorts lived in a single room, and there were more than 40,000 guards in the White House, let alone countless family members. These houses lined up one by one, with over 10,000 separate rooms, making it like finding a needle in a haystack to find someone among them.
Kuo Yeh soon became lost and just as he wanted to ask someone for directions, he saw a familiar figure.
This is a simple pond in the White Mansion, with a winding path of bluestone that leads to the distance. On both sides are ancient willow trees, and a group of maidservants are walking over from the other end of the path, laughing and chatting.
Bai Qian was among them, she was Bai Xie Er's maid and also a female official among this group of maids.
Kwok Yat suddenly felt stunned, he couldn't understand how a group of maids could suddenly appear in the place where his family lived. Just as he wanted to avoid them, the group of maids had already discovered him.
To know that the maids in the White Mansion are all highly cultivated fairy cultivators, at least they have the cultivation of the Seventh Palace of Spiritual Beings. Although Guo Yao's cultivation is higher than theirs, he still can't disappear instantly from under their eyelids.
"Look at that guard, he's actually dared to enter our maid's quarters. I think he looks suspicious and sneaky, definitely up to no good. Sisters, take him down and hand him over to the captain of the guards for punishment." A beautiful woman shouted loudly.
Guo Yidong suddenly felt a series of rustling sounds coming from behind him, and in just an instant he was surrounded by these maids.
Kuo sighed and stopped in his tracks.
These maids were all dressed in white silk skirts, surrounding Guo Yao in the center. Guo Yao suddenly felt countless fragrances rushing into his nostrils, as if he was standing in a sea of flowers.
These maids all held their life-saving arrays, dozens of array seals connected into a piece, and actually formed a huge trapped array, trapping Guo Yi in the array.
Kuo Yizheng wanted to explain to them, but he forgot one thing: no matter how good a man's eloquence is, it can't compare to a group of women who are not eloquent.
Before Guo Yi could speak, the group of maidservants began to bombard him with questions. The youngest one said: "This guy looks like a normal person, but when surrounded by us, he didn't show any signs of fear. He must be a lustful thief who has come prepared and his cultivation has reached the ninth palace of the Spiritual Realm, that's why he dares to be so arrogant."
"Hmph, even if he reaches the ninth palace of the spiritual realm, he will absolutely not be able to break through the trap we have set up together." Another maid with braids said.
A maid from the eighth mansion said, "I heard that last night a lustful thief broke into the mansion and tried to get Liu's aunt's attention. Unfortunately, he let the lustful thief escape, but two of the three family guards suffered misfortune. I guess that lustful thief is this guy."
"Look at him, with that innocent face, what else could he be but a lecher? He even doesn't spare Liu Shu, how much more dangerous are we in his presence?" One of the timid maidservants took several steps back, gazing fearfully at Guo Yao.
Kwok Yat really had an urge to cry, thinking that no matter where he went, he would be treated as a lecher, and even after changing his appearance, he couldn't escape this fate.
"Sisters, let's join hands and take him down, then hand him over to the Guardian Leader for disposal." One of the maids' trays was shining brightly, as if she already wanted to make a move on Guo Yi.
"But our Nanfu's Imperial Guard has fled, even the commander of the guard has escaped. Who are we going to hand him over to?" a maid asked timidly.
"Hmph, I think there's no need to hand him over to the Guardian Leader. Once we capture him, we'll first dig out his thieving eyes, then cut off the thing he uses for evil deeds, severing his path to immortality and cutting off his road to cultivation. Next, we'll cripple his hands and feet, lock him in a small black room, and starve him to death." A cold-eyed maid seemed to hate Guo Yao to the core, as one killing array after another flashed out from the formation plate in her hand, wanting to annihilate him on the spot.
Guo Yixin cursed silently, what did I do to offend you, are you too ruthless?
Guo Yi didn't want to continue entangling with them, so he decided to use all his strength to break through the trap they had set up together, and then immediately go find Shuang Sheng.
The Nine Transformations of the Mysterious Fire Technique began to circulate within his body, a stream of orange flames instantly flowing throughout his entire body. A flash of firelight appeared on his skin, and a layer of orange mysterious fire armor covered Guo Yao's skin. In his hand, he still held a three-foot-long orange mysterious fire sword. As soon as the fire armor and fire sword condensed into shape, the surrounding air became scorching hot, even causing the nearby Smoke Willow Ancient Tree to wither instantly.
After Guo Yi entered the second layer of Jiubian Xuanhuo Jue, the Xuanhuo turned orange. Not only was its destructive power greatly increased, but it could also condense into a physical form. The Xuanhuo armor and sword on Guo Yi's body were formed by condensed flames.
The Xuanhuo armor and sword condensed from the Xuanhuo have a hardness comparable to that of artifacts, and they have more transformations than artifacts. However, there is no formation array in the Xuanhuo armor and Xuanhuo sword, so they can only be considered as semi-artifact level.
Guo Yi wore an orange Xuanhuo armor, holding a crystal clear Xuanhuo sword. With one sword stroke aimed at the central node of the trapped array, this sword carried Guo Yi's lifelong cultivation. On the trapped array, it tore open a gap, and he took advantage of this opportunity to fly out quickly. Then, he turned around and with one sword stroke, cut the entire array pattern into fragments.
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed, startling White Qian from a distance. She immediately transformed into a white rainbow and flew to the top of the fake mountain, just in time to see Guo Yao and a group of maids facing off against each other. She hastily flew down and landed between the two parties.
Bai Qian's white dress fluttered, like a white swan descending from the sky, blocking the group of maidservants. Some were surprised and looked at Guo Yao with a mixture of shyness and curiosity. When they saw Guo Yao, their hearts felt as sweet as if they had drunk honey.
Her beauty was almost comparable to that of Hong Xiangyin, and standing among the group of maids, she looked like a crane among chickens. With curiosity, she asked Guo Yao, "What's going on? How did you end up in our maid quarters?"
"A slight misunderstanding." Guo Yi smiled and said.
"Bai Qian jie, do you know this scoundrel?" The youngest maid glared at Guo Yao.
"He is not a philanderer." Bai Qian deliberately helped Gu Ye get out of trouble and said: "He came here to find me."
Those maids suddenly came to their senses, immediately putting away the trays in their hands, and one by one they chattered and chirped like a flock of sparrows surrounding Bai Qiang asking this and that, all of which had nothing to do with Guo Yao.
"Bai Qian, this is just a third-rate guard, apart from being slightly better-looking, he's completely useless. You should know that the leader of the South Manor guards pursued you before, but was politely rejected by you."
"What's wrong with that! As long as Bai Qian likes it, you haven't seen some people's faces turn red." The youngest maid teased.
"You're the one who talks the most, why don't you hurry up and get busy? What are you all surrounding me for? If we don't work, those young ladies will scold us again." Bai Qian's face turned red with anger as she was spoken to by this group of maidservants. She secretly glanced at Guo Yao, then quickly shifted her gaze away.
"Oh no! Some people are disturbing our good thing, sisters let's hurry up and leave, otherwise Bai Qian sister will scold us later."
These maids were all young and beautiful, and soon they left one after another. Before leaving, they did not forget to threaten Guo Yao a few words, saying that if he dared to bully Bai Qian, these maids would lock him in a small black room. Guo Yao naturally just smiled and ignored them.
When everyone had left, the poolside was left with only Guo Yi and Bai Qian, both dressed in white, giving off a somewhat couple-like feeling.
"They are really lovely, not at all like maidservants, but rather like a group of young ladies from rich families on an outing." Guo Yi saw Bai Qian and for some reason had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, and could only say something vague like this.
Bai Qian saw Guo Ye and felt an inexplicable feeling in her heart, her face blushing with shyness. She said shyly: "You're here to find Xiao Yu, right? I don't know where she's run off to play again, I'll go look for her."
Bai Qian didn't dare to look directly into Gu Ye's eyes, feeling her heart beating faster and faster, so she wanted to find an excuse to temporarily hide.
"I've come looking for you." Guo Yi said.
Bai Qian's heart suddenly leapt with joy, her ample chest heaving rapidly, as if she were a young lover hearing her sweetheart's ardent confession for the first time.
Bai Qian looked like she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, beautiful and elegant, just like a girl next door. The girls Guo Yao met were almost all stronger than him, each one was like a mountain pressing down on his head, making him feel suffocated, but Bai Qian was the most like the little woman in Guo Yao's heart, she could make him regain some of his male confidence.
The Bai family has now become a place of dispute, and it can be said that they are in danger every day. After Guo Yi went to discuss with Shuang Sheng the plan to deal with Chu Ge, he also quickly left. Before leaving, he had to do some things.
"I've come to bid you farewell." Guo Yi said: "The Bai family is about to suffer a great calamity, I don't want my sister to die in this disaster, I must take her away. Thank you for taking care of her during this time, and thank your brother for taking care of me during this time."
Bai Qian's body shook violently, and she suddenly lifted her head, as if a thunderbolt had struck the top of her head. Although she knew she was not worthy of Guo Yi, and they were from two different worlds, when she heard the news that Guo Yi was leaving, her heart still felt extremely sorrowful. It was as if a woman had been deeply in love with a man, only to have him tell her one day that he would be leaving, possibly never to return again. The feeling was like something had suddenly gone missing.
It's a heart-wrenching feeling; what she heard at this moment wasn't the news of Guo Yi leaving, but the news that her own heart was gone.
"No, don't say thank you. The word 'thank' is too far away from me, it makes me feel a strange fear. Just leave! And never come back."
Bai Qian's voice was choked with sobs, her face pale and haggard, as if she had lost her last hope. In an instant, she seemed to have aged ten years. Her heart felt like it was blocked by a stone, and tears poured out of her eyes.
She turned her body, with her back to Guo Yao, and then took a difficult step by step away from him. She knew that from the moment she turned around, Guo Yao would never appear in front of her again.
There are too many foolish men and resentful women in this world. Some people bloom and bear fruit, while others are destined to be just passersby in life. The only thing that remains in our hearts is the faint memory that we are determined not to forget. Years later, this memory still lingers in our minds, but we can no longer recall his (her) appearance, only knowing that year we seemed to have laughed together.
"I'm still short of one maid, are you willing to leave with me?" Guo Yi looked at Bai Qian who was already far away and suddenly shouted.
