Qin Xian recognized Bai Su's voice and exclaimed: "White Doctor?"
Because she was in control of the Northern Profound Realm's epidemic situation a while ago, Bai Su had long become an influential figure in the entire Ling-Tian Continent.
Therefore, the news of her leaving with Mu Lingfeng had spread like wildfire within the short span of half a month.
Qin Xian naturally knew of this as well, so he didn't address her as Princess Jin.
Bai Su stared at the zither with a complicated look in her eyes, and said indifferently: "I didn't expect that I would meet Strings Childe here."
Actually, it wasn't a coincidence at all. She had only found this place because she was following the zither's shadow.
Furthermore, when the zither music and Mu Zixuan were bidding for the Herba Lonicerae s, she had already heard them and knew that the people inside the pavilion were the Qin siblings.
Ever since she treated the epidemic disease with the zither string, Bai Su had felt that this man was not ordinary.
Later on, someone poisoned the nunnery to aggravate the epidemic, and the mark on the neck of the culprit pointed to Xiqin Kingdom.
At one point, she also suspected that it was the zither strings directing them from behind.
Plus, he had seen his grey shadow on the street at Lianxiang Pavilion, which made him even more suspicious.
Thus, when he looked at the zither strings, his eyes naturally carried a look of probing.
"You … You are Bai Su? " The zither music heard the sound and pointed at Bai Su, her face full of surprise.
Because he had lost the match at the Mid-Autumn Festival, the zither music was always in his heart.
Especially when she thought about how Mu Yuntian cared so much about her, her heart felt especially uncomfortable.
"Why are you here? Is the Big Brother Yun Tian with you? "
"…"
Bai Su frowned.
What the hell should she say? Or is it?
Just as she was at a loss, the woman in red's resonant voice came from downstairs.
"Next, we will auction the last item of this gala — — Qilin Horn. Everyone, I believe I do not need to explain the value of the Qilin Horn. This was the only item in this auction that was not measured by money. As for which clan the Qilin Horn would end up with, that will depend on everyone's luck. "
Just as the woman in red finished her sentence, endless questions were asked from the various pavilions.
"If you don't need money to buy it, then what's the use of it? Speak clearly, beauty. "
"Exactly, this auction, isn't it like money being sold to the ground? "What do you want to use without money?"
"…"
Bai Su's eyes lit up, she turned to the zither and said: Strings Childe, if there's anything you want to say, we can talk about it after the auction ends, can you bring your sister back first?
Her goal for tonight had appeared. Everything else was just a passing cloud.
Qin Xian could see the concern in her eyes towards the Qilin Horn and could not help but lean close to her ear. She whispered: "If I can help you get the Qilin Horn, can you please transfer the Herba Lonicerae to me?"
Bai Su raised her eyebrow, and glanced at the zither strings: "Deal."
On stage.
The lady in red explained with a smile: "The Qilin Horn is a sacred object of this hall and is placed in the Exquisite Tower. It is only given to fated people."
Someone asked, "How do you know who is fated?"
The woman in red replied, "Does anyone see the box beside me? There's a room number for everyone here, and later on I will take out two of the room numbers, and the selected person will have the chance to enter the Exquisite Tower, and if they can pass the three trials consecutively, then they will have the chance to obtain the Qilin Horn. "
"Selection? How do we know if you cheated! "
The woman in red smiled and said, "If there's anyone who doesn't want to participate, you can come and help with the selection." Isn't that fair? "
"Me! "I'll do it!" A black shadow flew down from an upper story pavilion and landed beside the woman in red. "Let me do it."
The big man reached into the box and stirred it back and forth. He pulled out two small balls, took a glance at them, raised them above his head and announced loudly, "Congratulations to the Arch of the Arch and the Nine!"
As soon as he heard the result, all sorts of voices could be heard from within the pavilion.
"Tsk, he didn't hit!"
"To think that he actually failed. What's the point of that."
"You can't say that. What if both number Nine and number Eight cannot pass through the Exquisite Tower, then wouldn't we still have a chance? Isn't that so, beauty? "
The woman in red smiled and said, "What this hero says is true."
Upon receiving the answer, all kinds of voices finally stopped.
The lady in red spoke loudly to the ninth residence, "Please send someone to follow me to the second floor of the ninth floor."
Upstairs.
Bai Su stared at the big word on the back of the door and could not help but be shocked!
This... Her luck was way too good!
The door was knocked. Bai Su opened the door and immediately saw the zither strings.
"Let's go." Qin Yin looked at her and said.
Bai Su was surprised, "You're Nine?"
"Yes."
"…"
Mu Zixuan wanted to go with Bai Su, but the other party had said that he could only send one person to his room, so he could only stare at Qin Yin, returning back to the pavilion to wait.
Under the guidance of the lady in red, Bai Su and Qin Xian walked through the narrow corridors until they reached a basement one level below.
Unlike the hall at the auction, this basement was built in a magnificent manner.
The red-clothed female brought the two of them to a door, pointed to it and said, "Two gongzis, you can see Exquisite Tower from here. The first and second floor only stored a few books and pills, the two of you need to pass the third, fourth, and fifth levels consecutively, to reach the sixth floor, then you will have the chance to obtain Qilin Horn s. I wish the two of you good luck. "
Just as he finished speaking, the stone door in front of him suddenly opened.
Bai Su and the zither strings looked at each other, and then walked into the stone door from left to right.
As soon as they entered the underground estate, the stone door closed behind them, and the lamps on both sides of the door were lit at the same time.
Bai Su walked forward as she observed her surroundings. There was a sense of nervousness within the silence.
This corridor was much brighter than the last. Glazed glass covered everything from top to bottom, just like a mirror, reflecting all of their shadows.
The zither string appeared much calmer, as it followed behind her and said in a low voice, "I've heard that the Exquisite Tower is strange and ever-changing. After we enter later, you and I will definitely not be separated."
"Yes." Bai Su knew that they were now teammates who had passed the trial in a team. No matter what doubts she had about the zither string, she had to put it down first.
Furthermore, she knew that if Qin Xian wanted to obtain Herba Lonicerae, he would definitely give his all to help him.
The two of them walked through the Liu Li Corridor and quickly arrived at the entrance to Exquisite Tower.
Even though the woman in red had said that the first and second floor only contained books and pills, and didn't pose much of a threat, the two of them still looked at each other and carefully walked in.
The first floor was spacious, lined with shelves filled with books.
Bai Su casually flipped through it, then said to the zither: "Let's go, let's go to the second floor."
The second level was slightly narrower than the first level, and just like the first level, it was surrounded by shelves. The only difference was that these shelves were filled with bottles of pills of all kinds.
The two floors were tightly sealed. Aside from a single oil lamp, there was no other trace of light.
Obviously, they were still at the bottom of the ground.
Bai Su casually glanced at it, then walked to a shelf close to the third floor and picked up a small porcelain bottle. Opening the lid and smelling it, she put it down, then picked up another small porcelain bottle, repeating the same action.
"What are you doing?" The zither strings came over.
"Nothing. "Come, let's go up to the third floor." Bai Su said as she turned and stepped onto the stairs.
"Wait." Qin Xian took a step forward. "I'll lead the way."
Bai Su was slightly taken aback.
Did he want to stand in front of her because he was afraid of danger?
Seeing that she was in a daze, Qin Xian indifferently said, "I am a man, so I should lead the way."
Bai Su nodded.
Alright, if someone was willing to come forward, she wouldn't pretend to be apologetic before she had a chance to be happy!
In fact, she was very grateful for her wise move.
They had just reached the corner of the stairs that led to the third floor when they heard some hissing sounds coming from the third floor!
Bai Su, from her past life, had an extreme fear of snakes. She instinctively grabbed onto the strings of the zither and said in a trembling voice," Above … Yes, yes... "So many snakes …
The zither strings felt the corner of his clothes being grabbed and stopped in its tracks.
Turning her head, she saw Bai Su trembling from fear. She could not help but say: "Didn't you secretly hide the medicine just now? I smell yellow. Isn't it used to restrain these snakes? "
"…" Bai Su blinked, then released the tip of her zither and slapped her forehead, "That's right, how come I forgot about it the moment I got scared!"
Qin Yin looked at the loosened corner of her clothes and slightly frowned.
Actually, he rather liked the feeling of her tugging at his sleeve.
That way, it would make him feel that he was being leaned on by her, that he could bring her safety.
Bai Su took out two realms yellow pills and handed one to Qin Xian. "Put this in your mouth, and those snakes won't be able to do anything to us."
Looking at the crafty glint in her eyes, Qin Xian smiled slightly: "White Doctor is still the smartest."
Bai Su laughed proudly: "Of course, look at who I am."
As soon as they reached the third floor, the snakes moved away in fear and cleared a path for them.
Although he knew that the snakes wouldn't dare to attack them, when the entire third floor was filled with snakes, he didn't feel good.
She closed her eyes, grabbed onto the corner of the zither string, and said with a trembling voice, "I …" I was afraid. I'll take me upstairs. "
Looking at the usually fearless people who were afraid of nothing but the snakes that no longer had the power to attack, the corners of Qin Xian's mouth curled slightly. He took her hand and said, "I'll lead you up."
As she said that, sshe activated her Qing Gong. With a tap of her feet, he brought Bai Su up to the fourth level with a few leaps.
After feeling safe, Bai Su opened her eyes.
Seeing that the space in front of him was completely clean and devoid of any snakes, Bai Su laughed lightly, "I have finally left the snake den!"
Just as Bai Su was getting excited, she suddenly smelled a strange aroma, and immediately held her breath as she exclaimed: "Not good! I've been hit! "
Qin Yin's eyes curved slightly. Just as she was about to ask what was going on, her body couldn't help but sway backwards.
He pressed a hand on his head, and the Bai Su in front of him seemed to become blurry, as she transformed into a few shadows.
"String of the zither? A zither string? " Bai Su held onto the zither strings and asked anxiously, "What happened to you?"
The zither string shook his head vigorously, pushing Bai Su away, and retreated a few steps: "Don't come near me, don't come near me!"
