Chapter 536 It’s no coincidence
So this is the case.

Wu Jinliang said slowly, "Then grandma, do you know how to make the deadly incense?"

Grandma Qi nodded slightly, "I know. When the Phoenix Clan surrendered to Jin Zhan, the secret method of refining naturally could not be hidden from Jin Zhan. Jin Zhan also tried to refine it, and my ancestors helped."

Wu Jinliang: "Then grandma, do you have any way to refine it?"

Grandma Qi sighed, "Isn't what I said clear enough? The Soul-Reversing Tree is the main refining material. Now even the Phoenix Clan is short of materials, so it's even more impossible for me to get it."

Wu Jinliang knew that it was difficult for the other party to obtain it, but he just had a way of speaking. He immediately pushed the question again: "In other words, in addition to the Soul-Restoring Tree, can you get other refining materials?"

Grandma Qi thought about it and nodded, "It's not difficult."

Wu Jinliang asked again: "How long will it take to get it?"

"It will probably take about ten days to collect the materials and find someone to refine the 'Spiritual Wandering'..." Grandma Qi paused and then changed her words: "No, little brother Gao, without the Soul-Returning Tree, it's useless to think too much about other things."

Wu Jinliang suddenly said lightly, "We have the materials for the Soul-Returning Tree here."

"..." Grandma Qi froze in her spot, stunned for a moment before asking with a look of doubt, "The Phoenix Clan guards the sacred mountain, waiting for the emergence of the Soul-Returning Tree. Where did you get the materials that the Phoenix Clan doesn't even have?"

Wu Jinliang said disapprovingly: "It's not our business. We just happened to have some stock on hand."

After saying that, he carefully observed the changes in the other person's expression.

Because this is what Shi Chun told me to do.

As I said, Shi Chun still didn't believe that the Bai family was trying to repay their gratitude, and still suspected that it was related to Jin Zhan.

Well, then why not try to stroke the fur and see if you can make the other person feel comfortable so that he can help with the work here.

It's just a few soul-returning trees. They can afford the loss. At worst, they can go up the mountain and pull up two more.

Hearing this, Grandma Qi was startled again, with a gleam of brilliance that was difficult to conceal in her eyes. She immediately changed her words and said, "Oh, if that's the case, then refining shouldn't be a big problem."

“Hehehehe…” Seeing that the other party was tactful and didn’t ask about the origin, Wu Jinliang was amused and asked again: “I will provide the materials for the Soul-Restoring Tree. I will have to trouble you with the rest of the materials and refining. I wonder how long it will take you to make the Death-Restoring Incense?”

Grandma Qi pondered and said, "I have never refined it before. I can't tell you the exact time."

Wu Jinliang urged, "Hurry up!"

Grandma Qi thought for a moment and said, "I will mobilize the Bai family's forces and do our best to complete it in about ten days, provided that the materials for the Soul-Restoring Tree cannot be delayed."

Wu Jinliang: "The materials of the Soul-Restoring Tree are simple. Grandma can send people down the mountain to the designated location to extract them at any time."

"Okay, as long as we can save the Jin family, I will do my best!" Grandma Qi pounded her cane, then turned around and left in high spirits.

Wu Jinliang looked at his departing back and laughed again and again, then he took out the mother-child talisman and passed the relevant information to Shi Chun...

At the office, Huang Yingying, who had been working as a laborer outside, came back. He had received a notice that someone wanted to see him.

Who wants to see me? It can't be that Gao He came to see me openly.

When he returned to the edge of the cliff with a confused look in his eyes, he saw a figure in snow-white clothes, smoking a pipe. He was stunned because it was his wife.

I have to say, that beautiful figure coupled with the mountain scenery is indeed unique, but it's a pity that you can only see it but not eat it. Huang Yingying shrugged and walked over quickly. He was more concerned about whether to get himself out.

As long as he could regain his freedom, it didn't matter to him whether it was Gao He or his wife who rescued him. The tribe leader Jin Fu seemed to have other plans and didn't let him ask too much.

Bai Qiru noticed the movement and looked back. Seeing his dirty and tattered clothes, he couldn't help but frown.

Huang Yingying came closer and laughed dryly: "Madam is here, I'm sorry to make you laugh..."

Before she could finish her words, Bai Qiru waved his hand and threw a set of clothes out of thin air. Huang Yingying hugged it and was stunned.

Bai Qiru said indifferently: "Go wash it first. Don't come to see me if you are not clean."

Thinking that she could rely on the other party's relationship to regain her freedom, Huang Yingying naturally obeyed the order obediently, turned around and rushed out, found a waterfall in the nearby mountain stream, tore off her tattered clothes, and went under the waterfall to wash.

When he was clean and refreshed, and put on new clothes, he appeared in front of Bai Qiru again. He looked brand new, except that he looked a little older and more ugly.

Bai Qiru glanced up and down, then raised his chin towards the cliff and said, "Let's go and take a look at where you live."

She hasn't really been here.

Huang Yingying smiled bitterly, "It's better not to go. It's dark inside and the smell is not good. You like cleanliness..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Qiru had already flashed and flew down. What else could he do but jump down after him?

The smell was indeed unpleasant. Bai Qiru, who was at the foot of the cliff, couldn't help but frowned when he reached the entrance of the cave, but he still walked in while puffing on a cigarette.

The further they walked, the darker it became, until it was so dark that they could not see their hands in front of them. There was only the flickering light from the fire in the pipe. The golden-haired rats had decent night vision, but Bai Qiru could not compare. He shot a particle of sandalwood flame at Huang Yingying.

Huang Yingying immediately understood and took the flame to illuminate the way.

The road was empty, Bai Qiru asked, "Are you the only one living in such a big cave?"

Huang Yingying smiled bitterly: "How can that be possible? There is no such thing as idle people here. Everyone, young and old, goes to work."

Bai Qiru was quiet again, puffing out smoke from his lips. After walking for a while, they arrived at the residence. Huang Yingying pointed to the empty and damp cave and said, "This is it."

There was nothing there. Bai Qiru knew at a glance that he usually stayed here when he rested.

She suddenly waved her hand and threw a bed from her Qiankun bag to the ground, followed by bedding.

Seeing that she was given this set of things, it was obvious that she was here to make long-term preparations. Huang Yingying couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked, "Madam, there is no way to get me out?"

Bai Qiru said nothing, put away his pipe, took off his hair accessories, let his long hair fall on his shoulders, then turned his back to Huang Yingying and undressed.

"..." Huang Yingying was stunned and confused, not knowing what this woman was doing.

Then, his eyes gradually widened, because Bai Qiru even removed the last piece of cloth covering her body. Her graceful, naked, white figure, as well as her charm and demeanor, were not comparable to those of a prostitute in a brothel. He swallowed his saliva and gulped.

At the same time, I was full of doubts. What was this woman doing?
Bai Qiru, with his arms slightly crossed, waited for a while, then tilted his head and asked, "Don't you want it?"

"Hmm? Ah?" Huang Yingying was a little confused, not knowing whether what the other party said was what she thought.

Then he ignored her intention and immediately went over to take action.

Seeing that Bai Qiru did not resist and looked like she was letting herself be manipulated, Huang Yingying immediately let go of her worries and let go of her hands and feet. She directly pushed the fair body onto the couch and began to do whatever she wanted...

Even after leaving the cave and sending Bai Qiru to the cliff, Huang Yingying still felt as if she was dreaming and was a little bit unconvinced that the joy she had just felt was real.

Anyway, it seemed like this tigress had suddenly become a different person.

He reached out and tried to grab the tigress's hand again. Seeing Bai Qi trying to resist but holding back, he couldn't help but grin and beg like a spoiled child, "Madam, I miss you so much when I don't see you for a day. How about you help me beg the goddess to let me go?"

He is now really happy to go back to the rice shop and live that simple life.

Bai Qiru groaned and said, "I've already asked, but it's no use."

She vaguely remembered the goddess's original words: it would be easy to release the person, but her grandmother had to be willing first, and she also asked her to maintain good relations with her family.

From what she said, it seemed that her grandmother didn't want to let her go. At the same time, the goddess seemed a little disgusted with her being married to a golden-haired mouse. She thought she was a little willful and needed to be cured!

"Oh." Huang Yingying lowered her head and sighed disappointedly.

"Let's go. Be careful." Bai Qiru withdrew his hand, turned around and flew away.

Huang Yingying shouted, “Madam, remember to come and see me!”

No response...

On the other side, Grandma Qi did not delay what Wu Jinliang raised. As soon as she got back to her place, she immediately recruited people and made arrangements for the relevant matters after careful consideration.

She had just finished arranging things when she saw her granddaughter Bai Qiru coming back to say goodbye.

After sending everyone away, Grandma Qi asked, "Did the goddess agree?"

She knew it was a superfluous question. She wasn't trying to rescue the person, she was just going to see her husband. With her face saved, the goddess had no reason to make things difficult for her.

Bai Qiru nodded and said, "I've already checked it out, grandma. I'm going back to Dazhicheng first."

"Okay." Grandma Qi hummed, then leaned closer and whispered, "Grandma's judgment is correct. Gao He and the others are definitely here because of Jin Zhan's back-up plan."

Bai Qiru could sense the sudden change and was somewhat surprised. He asked, "Grandma, has this been verified?"

Grandma Qi whispered, "They actually have the Soul-Reversing Tree in their hands, and they have stocks. Even the Phoenix Clan doesn't have it, where did they get it? Jin Zhan was once the master of the sacred mountain. When Jin Zhan was alive, the Soul-Reversing Tree was not as scarce as it is now. Jin Zhan had cut down the Soul-Reversing Tree, so it is not surprising that he has stocks of the Soul-Reversing Tree. This is definitely not a coincidence!"

Bai Qiru understood what grandma meant.

"Girl, Huang Yingying has the best talent for cultivation in his clan. When the time is right, I will ask the goddess to give me some slack, and then you can ask her to release her, so that Huang Yingying will continue to be the only convenience for Gao and the others to contact the Jin family. And you also have to get along well with Huang Yingying. If the relationship is good, they will know that the Bai family is repaying their kindness, so how far will the result be?"

Bai Qiru nodded silently...

In the evening, in the forest at the foot of Zhulang Pavilion, the setting sun and shadow penetrated the wooded slope, shining on a man in a brocade robe with black hair and a golden crown. It was none other than the Lord of Hanzhou, Xihuang, who was standing in a small pavilion covered with fallen leaves and seemed abandoned, gazing into the distance.

Soon, Zhu Lang Pavilion's chief steward Hu Gongxian came hurriedly and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord, the car is ready."

The person in front of me always comes quietly because it is not good to be seen by others, and it is easier to be exposed during the day, so he needs a carriage to cover him.

The Western Emperor was unmoved and asked calmly, "When Yin Xu was in Qingqiu, did she ever serve as the maid of the Qingqiu Patriarch?"

Hu Gongxian was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "No. I also haven't heard that the ancestor used any maids later. The current clan members haven't seen the ancestor for many years. Even if there was one, it was a good job. It's not the turn of us, the side branches, to serve him."

Xi Huang: "She is lying. Isn't she afraid that if the news gets to Qingqiu, will anyone come to clean up the mess?"

Hu Gongxian smiled bitterly, "I don't know why she suddenly said that. It should be to protect herself in a desperate situation."

The Western Emperor asked again: "What about the two missing people? Did she send them away?"

Hu Gongxian bowed slightly and said, "Yes, I only escorted them out of the city."
