"Woo..."
Outside the cave, the sound of a flute suddenly rang out.
The moonlight is cold and the wind is biting.
Linghu Qingzhu was dressed in green, standing on the edge of the cliff, with her black hair dancing and her sleeves fluttering.
Inside the cave.
Luo Qingzhou has already taken two Spirit Transformation Pills and started his retreat.
He quickly entered a mysterious state.
The energy of the Hualing Pill slowly spread in the body, and then entered the Danhai through refining, and then flowed from the Danhai into the meridians and various acupoints...
His soul seemed to have entered another world.
Blue sky, white clouds, red flowers and green grass.
Countless small streams flowed into the boundless ocean together. Then, the water in the ocean, after being merged by wind and waves, slowly flowed back into the streams.
In the repeated flushing, the stream becomes wider and wider, and the sea becomes deeper and deeper...
at the same time.
The Qin Mansion far away in Kyoto.
In the Meixiang Garden, Miss Qin and Nangong Meijiao had already taken a bath and were lying on the bed, chatting under the quilt.
After chatting for a while, Nangong Meijiao suddenly asked, "Wei Mo, hasn't that guy done that with you yet?"
Miss Qin sighed softly and said, "No."
Nangong Meijiao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "So, besides chatting, what else do you do when you sleep together every night?"
Miss Qin Er said: "I didn't do anything, just slept."
Nangong Meijiao whispered: "Didn't that guy do anything to you?"
Miss Qin shook her head.
Nangong Meijiao snorted, "Who are you kidding? That guy is so lustful, he won't let you go. He will definitely ask you to help him with that."
Miss Qin Er asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Who should I help him with?"
Nangong Meijiao whispered: "I asked you to help him do something, and I also asked you..."
As she spoke, she stretched out a slender jade finger and touched her little mouth, with an ambiguous expression on her face, and whispered: "Is there?"
Miss Qin Er looked bewildered: "Sister Meijiao, Weimo doesn't understand what you are saying."
Nangong Meijiao was immediately annoyed and said, "Well, you little Wei Mo, you're still pretending, right?"
After saying that, he hugged her, turned over and pressed on her body, then bit her little mouth and snorted coldly: "Cunning girl, let this princess teach you a lesson!"
The sound of two people playing was suddenly heard in the room.
Next room.
Qiu'er and Xiaodie were discussing making clothes.
And in the small courtyard.
Zhu'er is still practicing knife throwing diligently by herself.
“Puff! Puff! Puff!”
The flying knives she threw hit the bull's eye on the wall accurately.
Exiled Immortal Residence.
The room was empty and dark.
In the corridor, a girl in a light green dress was standing there motionless, holding a sword, looking at the courtyard in a daze.
She didn't come into the house.
Because he was not in the room, it was equally cold everywhere.
In the Lingchan Moon Palace.
Bai Ling was wearing a pink dress and a pair of pink stockings. The hem of her skirt spread out like petals. She was sitting on the bed, pounding anthers out of boredom.
She would glance out the window from time to time, sigh softly, and occasionally mutter in a low voice: "Stinky son-in-law, bad son-in-law, he made me grow bigger again, hum..."
I don't know when, snowflakes started falling outside the window.
In another room.
A girl in a snow-white dress was standing in front of the window, holding a piece of jade in her hand, staring blankly at the snowflakes outside the window.
That flawless face was so beautiful that even the wind blowing through the window couldn't help but stop and take a few more glances.
Many people stayed awake that night.
The next day.
There was a night of wind and snow, and everything was covered with white.
Linghu Qingzhu prepared breakfast and came to the door of the stone chamber. He listened to the noise inside for a while, but did not say anything and left quietly.
At noon.
Su Feng and Su Yu came to her and said that the sect leader asked her to come over.
"Master, I heard that the Pavilion Master of Xianyun Pavilion and the Saint Girl are here."
Su Feng respectfully reports.
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "Go tell the Sect Master that I have something to do and cannot go over."
After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, and immediately said, "Forget it, I'd better go over there. Su Feng, Su Yu, the two of you guard the entrance to the cave, and don't let anyone in."
The two immediately responded, "Yes, Master!"
Linghu Qingzhu took another look inside the cave, then closed the cave door and quickly went to the main peak.
Su Feng and Su Yu stood at the door and looked at each other. After seeing her walk away, they began to speculate in a low voice.
"Sister, Junior Brother Chu is not in his cave. He should be in Master's cave, right?"
"He is probably practicing inside."
"I'm so envious. Master is so kind to Junior Brother Chu. Not only does he practice sword skills with him, he even lets him practice in the cave and personally helps guard it for him."
"I wonder what happened in the hall last night? I met Senior Brother Lin from Beiwang Peak today and asked him about it, but he seemed very secretive and didn't say anything."
The two talked in low voices.
In the stone chamber inside the cave, Luo Qingzhou was still in a mysterious and selfless state, practicing silently.
In the reception hall of the main peak.
Fairy Zixia was wearing a red dress and sitting in the main seat, chatting with a young and beautiful woman in a purple dress and with an elegant posture.
Next to the beautiful woman stood a slim girl in a white dress.
The girl had a thin veil on her face, a red dot between her eyebrows, clear and deep eyes, and waist-length hair. She had a pure and refined temperament, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, pure and elegant, spotless.
This beautiful young woman is none other than Luo Shang, the current head of Xianyun Pavilion.
The girl next to her is Liuli, the Holy Maiden of Xianyun Pavilion, also known as Liuli Fairy.
The reason they came today was naturally for the marriage arrangement.
Luo Shang had a smile on her face that made people feel like spring breeze, and said, "Zixia, I heard that your great-grandmaster came out of retreat yesterday. I wonder what his cultivation level is?"
Fairy Zixia also had a polite smile on her face and said, "I don't know either. Our great-grandmaster's cultivation level has never been revealed to us."
Luo Shang's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Really? A hundred years ago, Senior Zhuang's cultivation had already reached the Grandmaster level. I'm afraid he is even more powerful now, right?"
Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "Aunt Luo also knows that the further a warrior practices, the harder it is to break through. Especially in the realm of sect master, every step forward is extremely difficult. By the way, Aunt Luo, Senior Luo from Xianyun Pavilion, hasn't come out of retreat yet? I guess he has reached the realm of Grandmaster now, right?"
Luo Shang smiled and said, "It's not that easy to break through to the Grandmaster level. I'm afraid it's still too early."
The two chatted indirectly about the affairs of their respective sects for a while, and the topic soon turned back to the marriage between the two families.
Luo Shang asked: "Zixia, tell me the truth, is it you who disagrees, or the other elders, or is it Senior Zhuang who disagrees?"
Fairy Zixia sighed and said, "Aunt Luo, I really didn't lie to you. Of course I agree, and so do the other elders of my Lingxiao Sect. As for my great-grandmaster, he also has no objection. The main reason is that my disciple disagrees."
Luo Shang frowned and said, "Because he's already married?"
Fairy Zixia nodded and said, "I asked him last time, and he did say that. He said he already has a wife at home, and your sect's saint daughter is of noble status. If he marries him, he is afraid that it will be unfair to his wife at home."
Luo Shang asked: "Then do you know who his wife is and what her background is?"
Fairy Zixia thought for a moment and said, "She should be a girl from an ordinary family."
Luo Shang laughed when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, then why is he hesitating? Does he think that my Liuli would bully an ordinary weak woman?"
Fairy Zixia glanced at the girl behind her, smiled, and said, "The status of the Saint is very important. If she really marries him, his wife will naturally feel inferior and panic. He probably doesn't want to make his wife sad and upset. Moreover, Aunt Luo, if your Saint marries him, she will definitely be his legal wife. My disciple values love and friendship, so he probably doesn't want his legal wife to suffer any grievances."
Luo Shang immediately sneered and said, "Those who do great things are not bound by love. Since he has become your disciple, he should understand his responsibilities. Is it worth it to reject our marriage for an ordinary woman?"
Fairy Zixia sighed again and said, "I advised him the same thing, but he just wouldn't listen, and there was nothing I could do."
Luo Shang frowned and said, "You are his master and the leader of Lingxiao Sect. How dare he disobey you?"
Fairy Zixia looked helpless and said, "Aunt Luo, I really didn't lie to you."
Luo Shang snorted coldly and said, "Zixia, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but as the sect leader, you should be more domineering and decisive. What's the point of having such a disobedient disciple? Find another one."
Fairy Zixia said: "But, my great-grandmaster uncle likes him very much."
As soon as these words came out, Luo Shang's expression suddenly froze, and she looked at her and said, "Senior Zhuang likes him? Is it because of his talent? Do you know what grade his physique is?"
Fairy Zixia sighed and said, "Master Uncle should know, but he didn't tell us, and he didn't allow us to check it ourselves."
When Luo Shang heard this, a look of doubt and uncertainty appeared in her eyes.
There was a brief silence in the hall.
At this moment, the girl standing next to her suddenly said softly, "Senior Zixia, can I see him?"
Before Fairy Zixia could answer, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door: "No."
The three of them looked towards the door.
Linghu Qingzhu, dressed in green, walked in from outside and said expressionlessly, "Greetings, Sect Master Luo."
Luo Shang glanced at her and said with a smile, "It's Qingzhu, why did you say no just now? Can't my Liuli even see him once?"
Linghu Qingzhu said: "He is in seclusion and cannot be disturbed."
"Practice in seclusion?"
Luo Shang was slightly startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "It is said that when he participated in the Ling Xiao preliminary test last time, he was only at the middle stage of the martial arts master, right? Is he retreating today to strive for the realm of the great martial arts master?"
Linghu Qingzhu said calmly: "Maybe."
Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "Aunt Luo, Feiyang has already broken through to the Great Martial Master level. This time, he is probably trying to reach the mid-level Great Martial Master level."
"oh?"
Luo Shang showed a hint of surprise on her face and nodded, "It seems that she has good talent."
Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "Compared with the Saint, I definitely can't compare. I heard that the Saint is now at the middle stage of the Great Martial Master, right?"
Luo Shang smiled and said, "Two days ago, he had already broken through to the late stage."
As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Fairy Zixia's face faded slightly.
Linghu Qingzhu's eyes also flashed as she looked at the girl beside her.
Liuli bowed and said, "This is Senior Linghu from Jianfeng, right? I wonder how long Senior Brother Chu will need to practice in seclusion?"
Linghu Qingzhu paused for a moment after hearing this and said, "I don't know either."
Liuli said softly: "It doesn't matter, I will wait for him here."
Linghu Qingzhu frowned slightly.
Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "Liuli, then you can stay here. Our annual exam is about to begin, so you don't have to travel back and forth."
Linghu Qingzhu glanced at her.
Liuli said respectfully: "Thank you, senior."
Luo Shang, who was standing by, suddenly coughed and said, "Zixia, I finally got out once. Anyway, the sect is fine and there are other elders to help watch over it. I also want to stay here for a few more days. Do you think it's okay?"
Fairy Zixia smiled slightly and said, "It is an honor for Aunt Luo to stay as a guest in our sect."
Luo Shang was very happy.
They chatted for a while, and Fairy Zixia suddenly said, "Qingzhu, take Liuli to live on your peak. Remember to find a better cave for her. Don't neglect her."
Linghu Qingzhu was slightly startled when he heard this, then glanced at her again, and said without asking any more questions, "Yes, Sect Master."
Fairy Zixia said, "You guys go ahead. Aunt Luo and I have some private topics to discuss."
Linghu Qingzhu said nothing more. He glanced at the girl and walked out of the hall.
Liuli said respectfully: "Master, then the disciple will go first."
Luo Shang nodded and said, "Go ahead. Remember, when you see that young man, ask him clearly. Try not to use force if possible."
As soon as these words came out, Fairy Zixia and Linghu Qingzhu both looked at her.
Liuli lowered her head and said, "Yes, Master."
Luo Shang smiled and said, "Zixia, don't be nervous. I have no other intentions. It's just a competition between disciples. If they are willing, let them compete."
Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "I have no objection."
Linghu Qingzhu walked out of the hall with a grim expression.
Liuli, dressed in white, followed behind him.
The two walked towards Jianfeng, one in front and one behind.
Along the way, neither of them spoke a word.
Only after he got on the sword did Liuli speak softly, "Senior Linghu, I have also been practicing swordsmanship recently. May I ask you for some advice?"
Linghu Qingzhu stopped, turned around and looked at her and asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Liuli said, "Thank you for your concern, but I never eat lunch, so please don't bother me. I came here this time not only to meet Senior Brother Chu, but also to learn your sect's skills."
Linghu Qingzhu said coldly: "If you don't want to eat lunch, then go and have a look by yourself. I'm going to have lunch."
After saying that, he walked away quickly without paying any more attention to her.
Liuli froze in place, looking at her back: "..."
at the same time.
In the stone chamber of the cave, Luo Qingzhou, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes.
He suddenly felt his whole body burning hot, as if there was a flame burning in his abdomen, and the vast energy in his body suddenly became irritable and restless.
