Chapter 207 Live Streaming
Xiao Sanlang often had the illusion that their young master wasn't as decisive and brave as he seemed.
You've been in love with him for decades, is it really that difficult to confess?
Xiao Huan, a clever person, could immediately tell that something was wrong with his childhood friend, the little guard. He smiled and asked, "Sanlang, what are you thinking about?"
Gossiping and criticizing their young master was definitely not something Xiao Sanlang could openly discuss. He maintained a pained expression and calmly replied, "I'm thinking about how Qiao Wan's actions will affect the young master."
"Little Sui?" Xiao Huan seemed to ponder for a moment.
Just as Xiao Sanlang was waiting for his response, Xiao Huan's face lit up with a smile. He tilted his head, deep in thought for a moment, and said, "Let's leave this matter to Little Sui to handle."
"At his age, he should be able to handle such a small matter easily."
Suddenly, after Qiao Wan triggered his urge to gossip, Xiao Sanlang became a dedicated gossip companion. He thought to himself, "No, I think the young master might not be able to handle even this small matter."
After all, compared to their cunning brother, Xiao Sui was completely innocent and naive.
But Xiao Sui, who was silently deemed "oblivious" by Xiao Sanlang, looked at the jade slip in his hand with a serious expression.
After thinking for a moment, the oblivious Xiao Sui chose a simple and direct way.
Control the evaluation!
Continue to spend money!
Buy fake followers!!!
"Keep spending, keep smashing," ordered Xiao Sui with a stern face, "Don't worry about spirit stones, just keep smashing."
"I will smash her until she's dead."
At this moment, what Qiao Wan had done to Mu Xiaoxiao earlier no longer mattered. This person actually dared to confront him!! Since childhood, Xiao Sui had been pampered and spoiled by Xiao Huan, the head of the Xiao family. How could he tolerate such defiance?
Smash him!! He didn't believe it anymore!!

Under Qiao Wan's sincere and genuine persuasion, the outer disciples happily handed over spirit stones and left with cultivation techniques.
Once upon a time, there was a market stall where people would come and sell their goods. One by one, a few hesitant disciples from the outer sect started to gather around Martial Sister Qiao Wan's booth, encouraged by the first person who bravely tried something new.
Up until now, they hadn't seen any disciples from the inner sect. But Qiao Wan wasn't worried. She calmly sat in front of her booth, continuing to sell her products.
Suddenly, a young girl with a limp approached the booth. Her face turned red, and she tightly clutched a bunch of low-quality spirit stones in her hand. Her big eyes widened, and her voice trembled as she said, "Um... Qiao... Martial Sister Qiao Wan, can I get credit here?"
"I... I only have 26 spirit stones, and I'm two short," she added quickly.
Qiao Wan asked, "What's your name?"
"My name is Cao Yinglan."
Cao Yinglan looked anxiously at the girl in front of her. To be honest, she didn't have much hope, but... she wanted to give it a try.
Cao Yinglan's eyes dimmed slightly.
After all, Qiao Wan was the idol of these outer disciples, encouraging them to continue their struggle on the path of cultivation.
Unexpectedly, the girl in the pink dress in front of them nodded, "No need, I'll give you a discount on these two spirit stones, but I have a request."
Cao Yinglan paused for a second, her face turning red with surprise, revealing an embarrassed smile.
"Thank you so much, Martial Sister Qiao Wan!!! So... what is the request?"
Qiao Wan pursed her lips, handing the written spell to Cao Yinglan and looked up, saying seriously, "Go back and practice well. If it's helpful, remember to write your experience of using it on the jade slip for me."
The young girl nodded, smiling with joy, "Okay, elder martial sister, I will remember!"
That's why she didn't really like this world.
Watching the little girl limping away, Qiao Wan felt heavy-hearted. The world is so unfair, with the majority of resources being controlled by the powerful families. The little that is left is fought over by the rest of the people.
After Cao Yinglan left, Huo Baixing, Du Fannie, and other disciples from outside suddenly arrived, whom Qiao Wan had met earlier at the white tower.
Huo Baixing looked nervous and said, "Taoist Friend Qiao..."
The young man licked his dry lips and asked with lowered eyes, "How much are you selling your cultivation techniques for?"
After handing over the cultivation techniques to Du Fannie, Qiao Wan calmly advised, "Since we are all familiar, I'll give you a discount. It will be 26 spirit stones. But I kindly request that you taoist friends write your experiences on the jade scroll later."
After Huo Baixing and the others left, a shadow suddenly loomed over the jade scroll.
Standing in front was a very ordinary-looking young man, so ordinary that he would easily blend into a crowd.
"Taoist friend, how much are you selling this technique?"
Qiao Wan quickly took the jade slip and looked up at the young man in front of her: "28 low-grade spirit stones, no bargaining."
The young man glanced at her but didn't say anything. He handed over the money and exchanged it, then turned and left.
After the young man left, Qiao Wan redirected her attention back to the jade slip. There were many doubts and questions written on it.
Everyone knew that this technique might work for one person, but it might not work for others. Who knew if this technique would be suitable for Qiao Wan?
But soon, these comments were proven wrong.
Some outer disciples posted their own experiences with using this technique on the jade slip.
"Taoist Friend Qiao is great. Whether you practice body cultivation or not, you can gain something from studying this cultivation technique."
They also shared some tips for practicing this technique.
Others looked at this short passage and were puzzled.
Based on this passage alone, it seemed like there wasn't any problem with the technique.
But before anyone could figure out why, there were suddenly a bunch of "posts" on the jade slip.
These posts were made by a disciple from Kunshan, who claimed to have bought the technique from Qiao Wan, but found it to be useless. They said that Qiao Wan was a fraud who sold both genuine and fake techniques. They also mentioned that her personality was unpleasant and arrogant.
Instantly, public opinion turned once again.
Amongst the overwhelming negative comments, there was a post weakly defending itself. It was written by someone called Cao Yinglan, but unfortunately, no one paid attention to it.
Amidst all the questioning and doubts, another post suddenly appeared on the jade slip.
The author of the post was Qiao Wan.
It immediately caught everyone's attention.
As soon as they opened it, they saw a Souvenir Image that filled the entire jade slip.
In it, a girl smiled and said, "Hello, everyone. Welcome to my livestream. I am Qiao Wan."
At that moment, disciples from different parts of Kunshan who held the jade slip fell silent.
What on earth was this? What was a "livestream"?!
But it can't be denied that it feels... quite fascinating, doesn't it?
After all, Kunshan is so big, as long as you don't often go to Wenshi Hall, no one can see Qiao Wan every day. Qiao Wan making a deal with the demon realm has caused quite a stir in the jade slip, and now suddenly she released a Souvenir Image. Anyone would be a bit curious.
This is the first "live broadcast," and it feels very embarrassing.
Even though she was prepared, Qiao Wan couldn't help but blush, feeling very embarrassed as she continued to put on a formulaic smile: "Taoist friends, if you have any questions for me, you can ask them on the jade slip."
There was a moment of silence on the jade slip, and then, finally, some brave Kunshan younger martial sisters summoned the courage to ask the first question curiously.
"Taoist Friend Qiao, what are you selling?"
...
After the first one led the way, the questions on the jade slip gradually increased, and people started asking about the difficulties they encountered in their cultivation.
"Martial Sister Qiao, I heard that you practice even when you're sleeping. Is that true? Do you have any tips?"
Qiao Wan nodded slightly and said, "Let your mind not wander, and let your energy flow calmly. Gather your mind and store it in your lower abdomen, and let the two energies conjoin to form elixir."
Most of the time, Qiao Wan answered the questions with a serious expression on her face. Unlike her elder martial sister Mu Xiaoxiao, who appeared calm and composed in the Souvenir Image, Qiao Wan's answers were thoughtful and well-considered.
The other disciples from Kunshan suddenly realized that Qiao Wan's answers seemed to be quite useful?!
To be honest, Qiao Wan had encountered various problems mentioned by the disciples in the jade scroll before. Her cultivation journey had been quite challenging compared to others, and her answers were truly valuable references, without any hidden intentions.
In the world of martial arts, most people keep their techniques a secret, afraid that others will find out. But Qiao Wan is different. She is the first one who is willing to share.
Many people judge a person's character based on rumors. Now that they have met a spiritual master, disciples from Kunshan can't help but wonder if they have misunderstood something.
Qiao Wan seems nice. Although she entered Yuqing Peak through unconventional means, she is humble and well-mannered. It's hard to find fault with her words and actions. Her answer shows that she has faced many hardships on her spiritual journey and has persevered.
She is not as strange as the rumors say!
Amidst this harmonious atmosphere, one disciple from Kunshan couldn't contain their curiosity and asked cautiously, "Taoist Friend Qiao, what exactly happened in Mudstone Secret Realm?"
Qiao Wan pondered for a moment before calmly replying, "The Souvenir Image is in Precept Hall."
"If you want to know, you have to go and ask at Precept Hall."

Meanwhile, the young master of the Xiao family was so angry that he almost vomited blood and dropped the jade slip from his hand, which he had just smashed a pile of spirit stones onto.
What is this live broadcast thing again?!!
The attendant quickly picked up the jade slip and handed it back to him.
Taking the jade slip and sitting on the soft couch, Xiao Sui had a gloomy expression.
He understood what Qiao Wan was trying to do. She was trying to confuse everyone and completely divert their attention from her collusion with the demon realm!! Who would still be concerned about Qiao Wan and the demon realm at this time?
As long as the higher-ups in Kunshan didn't intervene, this matter of Qiao Wan colluding with the demon realm would eventually be brushed aside without any evidence.
He had underestimated Qiao Wan . She was much smarter and calmer than he had imagined.
But Xiao Sui was not a pushover either. In a big family like the Xiao family, where they devour people without leaving a trace, although Xiao Huan was protecting him, he still had a bit of cunning and true ability.
At this time, we must find a way to change the direction of the wind.
"Live streaming?"
Inside Wenshi Hall, an elderly man named Ma Huaizhen sat in a wheelchair and looked curiously at the jade slip in his hand.
"What is this thing?"
Can Souvenir Images be used in such a way?
The trap has already been set.
Qiao Wan held the jade slip, feeling the pressure as she took a deep breath.
It depends on whether the other party is willing to take the bait.
