Although the Terminus Peak was not close to the True Disciple Court, with the flying speed of an Essence Transformation cultivator, Zhuang Ling arrived at the Purple Bamboo Court in less than ten minutes.
When Hua Qingqing saw the two of them, she did not ask further and left the courtyard, leaving Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Ling behind.
Zhuang Ling slowly walked to the swing and sat down. She turned her face to Zhuang Yan."Tell me, what happened?"
Zhuang Yan also knew what this elder sister was asking about, so he did not hide anything. He told her everything that happened after leaving the Purple Bamboo Yard. Of course, he omitted the matter of the isolated island of time and space, and the " Yuanshi Yuqing Scripture " became " Lingxiao " in his mouth.
When Zhuang Ling heard this, she frowned slightly and swung the swing back and forth before saying," So you and Qingyue had a complete misunderstanding? You didn't even know that she was cultivating on the Celestial Pole's main peak?”
Zhuang Yan did not dare to hide this matter and immediately waved his hand.
"Of course. I really didn't know she was up there. The main peak was relatively small and was suitable for sitting cross-legged to cultivate, but it wasn't suitable for cultivating body movements and saber techniques, so I only went up to take a look and then came down. Moreover, I went during the day, so I didn't see her.”
" Mm." Zhuang Ling nodded her head lightly to show her approval. However, she did not believe him at all.
Because just based on his fair and tender skin, it was impossible for a person who was cultivating hard on the peak top under the scorching sun and strong wind to have such a look. At that time, she was in a hurry to take Zhuang Yan away because she was afraid that others would notice this.
" But if Zhuang Yan didn't cultivate at the Empyrean Terminus Peak for two months, then why did Qingyue say that just now? Was she covering up for him?”
At the thought of this, Zhuang Ling felt for the first time that this clan brother before her might have a close relationship with Qingyue.
However, she remained calm and asked casually,"What's your cultivation level now?"
What Zhuang Yan had said was the truth and he did not think that there was anything wrong with it. Furthermore, he could only see Zhuang Ling's side profile and did not notice the change in her expression.
Now that Zhuang Ling had asked about his cultivation, Zhuang Yan hesitated slightly and felt that it was better to be honest."Meridian-forging, hmm, how should I put it, it's almost done.”
Zhuang Ling stopped swinging on the swing and turned to look at Zhuang Yan. She looked at his skin that was better maintained than hers, his handsome face, and his weak body. She could not believe it at all. She even suspected that this kid had neglected his physical training.
However, she did not " expose " Zhuang Yan. After all, the master was the guide, but the cultivation depended on the individual.
Although she had brought Zhuang Yan into the Xian Tian Sect and even gave him an Arcana Realm cultivation method, judging from his current performance, she felt that he was probably "crippled" and not worth cultivating.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Ling did not want to ask any more questions and just treated it as a waste of effort.
Then, she raised her hand, indicating that Zhuang Yan could leave.
However, before Zhuang Yan left, she pretended not to have seen through Zhuang Yan's "secret" and even smiled encouragingly."Not bad, continue to work hard!"
With her personality, if her subordinates were so disappointing, she would not be polite and would even personally punish them. However, she did not do so when it came to Zhuang Yan.
It was because she felt that Zhuang Yan and Qingyue had a close relationship.
In Zhuang Ling's heart, Qingyue, who was as talented, beautiful, and had a family background that was not inferior to hers, was someone that she could not easily make an enemy of.
Hence, Zhuang Ling did not want to become enemies with Qingyue just because Zhuang Yan had lost his value to her. On the contrary, she would treat Zhuang Yan better in the future.
In the past, Zhuang Yan's value was a capable subordinate, but now, his value was to allow her to have a closer relationship with a powerful cultivator.
Zhuang Yan had no idea what this elder sister was thinking. He did not know that he had become someone else's accessory again.
。。。
After returning home, Zhuang Yan thought about everything that had happened today. He could not understand why things had turned out this way.
He only needed to stay at the Heavenly Peak for a while longer. After the previous incident had passed, he could enter and leave the sect openly without worrying about others finding trouble.
After all, no one would be so bored as to remember such a small gossip.
However, he did not expect Qingyue's breakthrough to blow up the matter again, exposing Zhuang Yan to the eyes of many powerful cultivators. This was a result that he had not expected at all.
"Since things have come to this, it's useless to think so much. Now, we can only respond to all changes with the same thing. The first goal is to make our cultivation stronger, and then we can block the enemy with our troops and cover with the earth when the water comes. Otherwise, everything will be empty talk.”
In addition, the most important thing now was that the Heavenly Peak had been exposed. If they went now, they might very well be a sheep entering the tiger's den.
He could only think of a way out.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not come up with any good ideas. He could only return to his residence first.
Although the sect residence was a public place, it was also because it was exposed to the sun that no one dared to forcefully barge into the house and do anything harmful to him.
The only downside was that it was inconvenient to cultivate. This was also the reason why Zhuang Yan did not choose to hide inside but went to the Extreme Peak.
Thinking of this, he immediately felt relieved. He felt that as long as he hid in the house for the next month, even if his cultivation progress was slower, when he returned from the next mission, the situation might change for the better.
。。。
On the other side, after Zhuang Ling left with Zhuang Yan, the crowd on the Celestial Pole Peak gradually dispersed.
Just as Qingyue was about to turn around and leave, Lu Huang suddenly stopped her and said politely,
"Senior Sister Qingyue, you are the first among the younger generation of Xian Tian Sect to break through to the Arcana Plane. Even in the Xuantian Great Zhou world, you are one of the best among all the disciples of your generation.”
Qingyue paused for a moment. Of course, she knew what Lu Huang was thinking, but after a moment of hesitation, she nodded and agreed.
Lu Huang immediately revealed a delighted expression, his adoration overflowing with words. He immediately flew into the air to catch up with Qingyue.
He walked side by side with Qingyue, pretending to be enthusiastic as they asked questions about cultivation. However, Qingyue was obviously not interested in him and only responded to him casually.
However, even a simple reply could make Lu Huang overjoyed and even more enthusiastic.
As if intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Huang suddenly brought up Zhuang Yan as they chatted."…Senior Sister Qingyue, Junior Brother Zhuang Yan has been cultivating in the Empyrean Peak for two months as soon as he entered the sect. I'm sure he'll be able to achieve great things in the future with such a hardworking person. Tell him that if he needs any help, he can come to me directly…"
At the mention of Zhuang Yan, Qingyue froze in mid-air.
Lu Huang didn't react for a moment. He rushed over but immediately turned back. However, at this moment, his heart sank.
Qingyue had not been paying much attention to what she had just said, but she had such a huge reaction at the mention of Zhuang Yan. There was clearly something wrong.
However, he did not ask further. He simply stared at Qingyue's peerless beauty quietly, waiting for her response.
Qingyue raised her head and met Lu Huang's gaze. She looked into his eyes and replied calmly and firmly,"
"I've already said that he only cultivated at the Empyrean Terminus Peak for a period of time and didn't even speak to me. You don't have to probe anymore. I know what you're thinking. Today, I can tell you clearly. It's impossible for us!"
"In addition, let me warn you. Although I don't care about Zhuang Yan, since I said that he's my Dao friend, I can't allow others to doubt him. If anything happens to him because of what he said, I will let you know that you, Lu Huang, are just an ant, even if you include your Lu family.
"In this world, the strong are respected. I hope you know your place!”
Seeing Lu Huang's face darken, Qingyue did not stop and continued.
"Zhuang Yan can't get into trouble because of me. I, Gu Qingyue, am the one who said that. If you don't believe me, you or your Lu family can try!”
