Chapter 173: Refusing to admit it
After learning about what happened in Tianjian Gourd Palace, Zhang Qian breathed a sigh of relief and understood Li Qingque's purpose.

Li Qingque's trip was to represent Jianhu Palace to attend the Tianji Pavilion event. Some time ago, an invitation from the Tianji Pavilion fell near Jianhu Palace. After a fight, Li Qingque got the invitation and reported it to Li Qingcheng. Li Qingcheng arranged for Li Qingque to attend the Tianji Pavilion event. He happened to meet Zhan Taixuan's flying sword letter and learned about Qin Fengdu's arrival. Li Qingcheng and Li Qingque came to Taikang Capital together.

Just as Zhang Qian was looking at Li Qingque's figure, Li Qingque seemed to notice his gaze, turned around suddenly and looked around. Zhang Qian hurriedly lowered his head and hid behind the crowd. At this time, Li Qingcheng was right next to Li Qingque, and Zhang Qian couldn't let Li Qingque find him.

After taking a quick look around, Li Qingque found nothing and frowned.

After half an hour, everyone had walked a long distance in this void passage, and gradually several forks in the road appeared ahead.

No one knew where these forks in the road led to, but Jiang Shili stopped.

"Everyone, this road is only for cultivators above the realm of Dharma. Please follow me."

Jiang Shili looked around, turned around and walked on the middle road, leaving a group of powerful people behind him talking about the matter. Many cultivators were angry but did not dare to vent.

Li Qingcheng thought for a while, turned around and gave a few instructions to Li Qingque. Zhang Qian saw Li Qingque nodded and then stopped.

Li Qingcheng followed Jiang Shili, and the other powerful men followed one after another. However, what was strange was that there was something strange about the road in the middle. Whenever a cultivator below the Dharma Realm stepped on it, he would immediately feel boundless and enormous pressure, which would slowly push him out.

This pressure came inexplicably, but made it impossible to resist.

"How is this going?"

"What does Jiang Shili mean by this?"

"Haha, people have long said that this road is only for cultivators above the Dharma Realm. If you are not at that level, you cannot walk on it at all."

"I don't know what important matter Jiang Shili wants to discuss. Let's take the side road."

Just as everyone was discussing, all the powerful beings above the Dharma Realm walked into the middle road. At this time, several generals in golden armor appeared on the other branch roads.

These generals made a gesture, and the rest of the people went out along the forked roads.

Zhang Qian followed Li Qingque silently, walking along one of the forked roads. After a while, a very busy and wide street appeared in front of him. It was the scene of the capital of King Taikang.

Looking back, I did not see the void passage through which I came out.

Zhang Qian narrowed his eyes and immediately understood that the passage that penetrated the void should be spread throughout the entire Taikang capital. This passage was not for the common people in the city, but for the monks and soldiers of the Taikang Dynasty.

"What a good idea!"

Zhang Qian and Zhan Taixuan looked at each other and followed Li Qingque silently.

After a few minutes, Li Qingque walked further and further away. Zhang Qian's heart moved, and he immediately realized that his senior sister had discovered that he was following her.

"come out!"

Li Qingque turned around and shouted angrily.

Zhang Qian smiled slightly: "Senior Sister, long time no see!"

Zhang Qian and Zhan Taixuan appeared, Li Qingque saw a flash of joy in Zhang Qian's eyes, then he glared at Zhang Qian fiercely and said unhappily: "Where have you been these days? It would be fine if you didn't come back, but send someone..." At this point Li Qingque remembered that the First-Class Demon was the demon head in Zhang Qian's Demon Pagoda, and the Demon Pagoda was Zhang Qian's big secret. At this moment, in front of Zhan Taixuan, Li Qingque immediately kept silent.

"It's okay, she knows everything about me, so you don't have to cover up for me, Senior Sister."

Li Qingque was slightly stunned, looked at Zhan Taixuan, and then understood something. He suddenly felt angry and felt very wronged.

"you……"

Li Qingque's face turned cold, and he said expressionlessly: "Why are you following me? Since you are back, then go back to Jianhu Palace. We now have more than 50,000 outer disciples on the Demon Refining Island. As the deputy island master, you can go back and teach them how to practice."

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes, chuckled, and pulled Li Qingque forcefully to an inn not far away to settle him down.

After settling down, Zhang Qian went out directly and pushed open the door of Li Qingque's room next to him.

"Sister, I almost couldn't come back this time. Who would have thought that there was a remnant of an ancient formation in the mineral vein, and countless immortals and gods were buried in the remnant!"

As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Qian said with a smile.

Li Qingque looked at him coldly, and after a while he said, "You can't come back? That shouldn't be the case, right? I saw that you and Zhan Taixuan were very happy together!"

Zhang Qian smiled awkwardly: "Senior sister, please don't misunderstand me. Zhan Taixuan and I have nothing to do with each other. How can she compare with you?"

"Don't try to trick me. If you have nothing to do with her, how would she know your secret? She even knows about your Heavenly Demon Pagoda. How could I..."

At this point, Li Qingque bit his lip, suddenly stretched out his hand and twisted Zhang Qian a few times, and said unyieldingly: "If I had known this would happen, I should have killed you with a sword when I met you, so as to avoid now..."

However, before Li Qingque could finish her words, her mouth was covered by Zhang Qian's big mouth. Li Qingque was unwilling and wanted to push Zhang Qian away, but it was a pity that Zhang Qian would never let her go. The two of them lingered for a while, and when Zhang Qian let her go, Li Qingque raised her little feet and kicked Zhang Qian hard several times. The flash of red embroidered shoes made Zhang Qian's heart flutter.

Seeing Zhang Qian's eyes getting more and more intense, Li Qingque hurriedly said, "Don't do anything weird again, or I'll make you pay. What's going on between you and Zhan Taixuan? Don't try to lie to me. I'm not a fool. If you...if you're with her, why are you messing with me?"

"Sister, what are you thinking? Didn't I tell you that I have nothing to do with Zhan Taixuan? The reason why she knew about the Heavenly Demon Pagoda was because I encountered a crisis in the ancient remnant formation and had to use the Heavenly Demon Pagoda to defend against the enemy. That's how she found out."

How could Zhang Qian admit his relationship with Zhan Taixuan? He had already made up his mind that no matter how Li Qingque asked, he would never admit it.

Li Qingque nodded slowly: "I see, then did she threaten you with this matter?"

Seeing Li Qingque's worried expression at this moment, Zhang Qian felt warm in his heart, and he felt that he could not look enough at Li Qingque in front of him.

"Don't worry, you don't know me yet? If she knows my secret, I can naturally know her secret too. Zhan Taixuan's secret is much more shocking than mine."

Zhang Qian rolled his eyes and told the story of Zhan Taixuan vaguely, but he concealed Zhan Taixuan's real origins. After all, this was Zhan Taixuan's big secret, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

"That's good. Although Zhan Taixuan's cultivation is not as good as mine, I still can't see through her. You'd better not provoke her, otherwise I won't care about you if something goes wrong!"

"Hey, Senior Sister, are you willing to do that?"

Seeing Zhang Qian's playful look, Li Qingque suddenly became angry and reached out to twist him. Zhang Qian hurriedly grabbed Li Qingque's hands. Even though his physical body was now comparable to a top-grade magic weapon, it was still painful to be twisted by Li Qingque.
