While Chen Chunan was trapped in the 'Ascension to Immortality', Queer just separated from Liu Rufeng and his party and headed alone to Qingshui Village a hundred miles away.

"Qu'er, listen to me carefully." Liu Rufeng's expression was serious and he warned seriously, "After you and I separate later, you will be the one to search for the whereabouts of the Fountain of Youth, and I will be responsible for searching for the traces of the eldest lady.

…”

"Why?!" Que'er's eyes widened, showing full rejection. She was not questioning Liu Rufeng's judgment.

But...

"I want to go with you too! The eldest lady was taken away under my nose. It was my fault, so I must rescue the eldest lady! No matter what the cost!" Que'er

He clenched his fists, with tears in his eyes, and said emotionally.

"Alas..."

Seeing Que'er's expression of "I won't give up if you don't agree", Liu Rufeng sighed and rubbed the center of his eyebrows vigorously.

This little girl is still as stubborn as before!

Why can’t you just listen to what someone has to say?

After Que'er's mood calmed down a little, Liu Rufeng opened his mouth to explain again: "Qu'er, if you leave with me, who will be responsible for what the ancestor told you?"

"This... this, can't we just let Uncle Liu take charge... Anyway, you are the leader..." Que'er lowered his head and said hesitantly.

She was so excited just now that she really didn't think of this problem.

"..." Liu Rufeng almost laughed out loud at Que'er's words, but because of the elder's face, he had to patiently explain to Que'er again.

"Quier, do you know why the ancestor asked the eldest lady to complete this matter?"

"Isn't it because the eldest lady is talented and calm, so she is much more reliable than the other young people in the family?"

"No." Liu Rufeng shook his head, "What you see is just the appearance. In fact, the real reason is..."

"Uh...!"

Seeing Que'er's cheeks gradually bulging, looking unconvinced, Liu Rufeng panicked and quickly explained:

"Of course, the eldest lady is talented and calm, which is well known in the family. But..."

"But?"

"The ancestor entrusted this matter to the eldest lady, not only because her talent is one of the best in the family, but the most important reason is that the patriarch left the family."

"Clan leader?"

Que'er opened her mouth in surprise when she heard this, looking like she was shocked.

When Liu Rufeng saw that Que'er was no longer awkward, she wiped the cold sweat on her forehead with her sleeves and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Once it comes to matters concerning the eldest lady, this little girl will suddenly lose her mind.

I really don’t know whether this little girl’s character is good or bad.

If it was good, how could we lose the eldest lady?

Thinking of this, Liu Rufeng instantly became melancholy again.

The person who can easily capture the eldest lady under Que'er's nose must be stronger than him.

With his Yin Yuan realm strength, in the past he could only deliver food.

But he had to go. The responsibility for the disappearance of the eldest lady would eventually fall on the head of the envoy.

What's more, Que'er will be sad because of this.

If he cannot get the eldest lady back, he may end up like his predecessors, with his head and body separated.

In order to avoid the worst situation from happening, the best way now is for him and Que'er to act separately. Que'er will continue to complete the tasks assigned by his ancestor, while he and his confidants will rescue the eldest lady.

"Originally, the clan leader was personally responsible for the matter that the ancestor told us, but the clan leader left the family without any reason before leaving and his whereabouts were unknown." Liu Rufeng continued to explain, "The ancestor was furious when he learned about this, but at first

The goal has not been achieved, and this matter must be left to others. So..."

"This job fell on the eldest lady's head...?" Que'er answered tremblingly. She actually fully expected this to be the case at first, and foolishly thought that the ancestor was optimistic about the eldest lady's talent.

To promote her.

The result was unexpectedly...

After learning the truth of the matter, Queer was very upset.

If this is the case, then she must complete the tasks assigned by her ancestors on behalf of the eldest lady.

Just like the eldest lady took over this responsibility for the patriarch.

In the Sima family, "the eldest lady's personal maid" is a very special existence, equivalent to the eldest lady's right-hand man.

The eldest lady's personal maids are always selected from the most outstanding young women in the branch families, so competition is naturally inevitable.

Even though she is just the eldest lady's personal maid, her status is much higher than that of the direct bloodline in the family, and the training resources available to her are naturally increasing.

Therefore, the eldest lady’s personal maids are regarded as her siblings.

If the maid gets into trouble, the eldest lady will suffer on her behalf; if something happens to the eldest lady, the maid will be punished for her.

Although the six major families in Shengzhou in the Central Region are called families, they are actually more like a huge sect of cultivating immortals, except that their disciples are all children of the family.

The patriarch is the patriarch, the ancestor is the supreme elder, and the eldest lady is the saint.

And as the right-hand man of the sect's saint, how could Que'er's status be so low?

But Que'er was picked up by the eldest lady from outside ten years ago.

Not long after arriving at Sima's house, Que'er officially became the eldest lady Sima Bilian's personal maid.

As soon as this news leaked out, it caused thousands of waves, and the entire Sima family was in chaos.

Especially in the branch family, they seemed even more indignant and furious.

In the end, the eldest lady asked the clan leader to come forward to save Queer, and the matter slowly calmed down.

But the grievances in the family have not diminished, they are just hidden under the water.

Once someone in the family discovers that the eldest lady has failed in her duties, not only will the ancestors be unable to pass the test, but other people will not let them go.

Que'er's face gradually turned livid as she thought more deeply.

Only then did she finally understand what the eldest lady meant when she said "big trees attract the wind".

This not only refers to the Sima family itself, but also to themselves.

Unknowingly, the position of the clan leader in the Sima family was as precarious as a candle in the wind.

Therefore, as the eldest lady's personal maid, she must set an example and complete the matters assigned by her ancestors on behalf of the eldest lady.

"Uncle Liu, I understand. I will definitely complete this matter successfully." Que'er clenched his fists and nodded, "Uncle Liu, please find and rescue the eldest lady, please!"

After saying that, Queer bowed deeply.

At this moment, Liu Rufeng's mood was very complicated. It was a good thing that Que'er was reasonable, but he also had to save the eldest lady.

With his small body, I don’t know if he can withstand it. What if he is injured and disabled? Can he report a work-related injury?

Before setting off, Liu Rufeng's face was already wrinkled into a mess.

In the end, before Liu Rufeng's confidants arrived, Que'er left alone and headed for Qingshui Village.

She was going to a place called Peach Blossom Temple about ten miles outside Qingshui Village.
