Chapter 233: Farewell Night, Lu Zhan teaches Fairy Ling how to make puffs
The autumn fruits are abundant and the mountains are covered with red.
After coming out of the White Crane Tower, Lu Zhan had no intention of strolling around Tianjie. Even the Crane Clan, who were affiliated with the Yunshui Sect, showed such covetousness for the holy object that Lu Zhan felt uneasy for a moment. Now that his realm was stable, it would be better for him to return to Jinling as soon as possible.
"Is there anything that makes Brother Lu unhappy? Are you leaving now?"
Liu Huiyang tried his best to keep Lu Zhan, not because he was reluctant to let him go, but because he had not yet completed the task assigned by his master and had not shown off enough in front of Lu Zhan.
Although he could see that He Liang had some intentions, Liu Huiyang didn't think the He clan would dare to attack Lu Zhan. If the He clan attacked Lu Zhan, it would be a disgrace to the Yunshui Sect.
So Liu Huiyang didn't understand why Lu Zhan suddenly wanted to leave.
Lu Zhan was not as optimistic as Liu Huiyang. In front of the holy objects, many people had no bottom line, even the Crane Clan was the same.
But as for the Crane Clan’s affairs, Lu Zhan was only guessing at the moment. It would not be appropriate for him to “complain” to the Yunshui Sect’s leader as an outsider.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu, you are worrying too much. I just received a letter from the Monster Suppression Bureau and I need to report it immediately."
"Oh? I heard that Miss Chu is in Jinling. Could it be that Brother Lu went back to see her in a hurry?" Liu Huiyang's gossiping heart was aroused. He hoped that Lu Zhan and Chu Wantang were having an affair. He didn't believe that his Junior Sister Ling would be willing to share her with other women.
Lu Zhan was surprised: "Brother Liu is so well-informed? I didn't know that."
"..." Liu Huiyang was a little disappointed: "I thought Brother Lu knew. It is said that the old man Qin from the Jinling Qin family branch passed away. Miss Chu came to express condolences on behalf of the Bianjing Qin family."
Lu Zhan narrowed his eyes, even more surprised.
The Old Master Qin that Liu Huiyang mentioned was the old man who took advantage of the Fire Phoenix King's weakness to seize the Fire Phoenix King's essence.
What surprised Lu Zhan was that when he took Mr. Qin's pulse, he realized that Mr. Qin would not live long, but he could at least live for a while. He didn't expect that he would pass away so soon.
This is good... If Old Man Qin didn't die, he would be the murderer of Queque's mother. After Queque's origin is replenished, it is impossible for him not to seek revenge.
Now that Old Man Qin is reaping the fruits of his own actions, it is really retribution. It is also a good thing for Queque. Lu Zhan does not want Queque to be bound by hatred at such a young age.
Queque should be carefree.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Thank you, Brother Liu, for telling me, otherwise I would not have known about this."
"..." Liu Huiyang smiled awkwardly: "No wonder Brother Lu's cultivation speed is so fast, it turns out that he is turning a deaf ear to the outside world."
“No, no, no…Brother Liu is truly oblivious to the world. He’s not even interested in the Immortal Island.” Lu Zhan complimented.
Liu Huiyang suddenly felt like something was stuck in his throat, as if he was interrupted while pretending to be cool. He clearly wanted to show Lu Zhan how powerful the Yunshui Sect was, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed by Lu Zhan... It's not that he has no interest in the fairy island, he just missed it because of his retreat!
Liu Huiyang felt depressed and stopped talking.
……
The two of them were silent all the way.
After Lu Zhan returned to Yunshui Sect, he paid a visit to the Sect Master. The Sect Master had allowed him to stay here to consolidate his realm, which was a favor. Now that he wanted to leave, it was reasonable for him to personally submit his resignation.
"Hmm... I thought you would have to stay for a few more days to completely stabilize your realm, but I didn't expect it to be faster than I thought."
The head of the Yunshui Sect narrowed his eyes. His white hair and youthful face did not show any sternness at all, but rather he looked like a kind old man.
Lu Zhan smiled and bowed: "Senior, you are so kind. I would like to thank you for your protection."
“You don’t have to thank me. If something happens to you in Yunshui Sect, how will I help…” When the Yunshui Sect Master said this, his voice suddenly stopped.
Lu Zhan blinked and waited for what was to come.
Then I heard the Yunshui Sect Master change the subject and said in a different way: "If something happens to you here, I'm afraid that the outside world will think that it is our Yunshui Sect that is not satisfied with you as a "son-in-law" and that is why we harmed you."
Son-in-law? Lu Zhan concluded that this was not what the old man wanted to say just now, but now that the old man said this, he could not refute it.
When he and Ling Jiaoyue returned to the fairy island, they joined hands to strike out with swords in Mengyingzhou, shocking the Great Zhou. Now the whole Great Zhou is speculating about what happened between him and Ling Jiaoyue in the fairy island in the past two months.
Let’s not talk about the fact that he and Ling Jiaoyue had an unclear relationship. Even if they were really innocent, a man and a woman disappeared for two months, and after coming out, they worked hand in hand to fight the enemy together. No one would think well of that kind of grace and tacit understanding.
In the eyes of outsiders, he is now the son-in-law of the Yunshui Sect, and Ling Jiaoyue's innocence is completely gone.
Under such public opinion, the Yunshui Sect also had to save some face. Even if they were not satisfied with Lu Zhan, they would never let anything happen to Lu Zhan at this time. What's more, the Yunshui Sect was very satisfied with Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan did not have too much psychological burden about this, because the rumors outside were true. He had already taken the blame for Ling Jiaoyue a long time ago. It was not in vain that he took the blame. If he did, it would be very aggrieved.
"You don't have to be silent." Master Yunshui said with a smile, "Love between men and women is natural. Although you don't have a family background, you are extremely talented. We will never stop you from dating Jiaoyue."
Lu Zhan was a little surprised. He said, "Senior, you are quite frank in what you say."
"It's just the truth, it's not frank." Master Yunshui sneered, "If I say I agreed because of your noble character, I'm afraid you won't believe it yourself, right?"
"Senior, you are joking." Lu Zhan smiled helplessly.
Master Yunshui and Taoist Yunshan are indeed from the same school. This old senior seems mysterious, but he speaks directly, making it impossible for people to practice Tai Chi.
But this is also a good thing. If he and Ling Jiaoyue can get the support of Yunshui Sect, their relationship will naturally go smoothly. It is much better than staging a bloody plot of making enemies with the sect for love.
This outcome is what Lu Zhan hoped for and what he expected.
When Master Yunshui saw Lu Zhan's reaction, he had some doubts in his heart. This kid always had a smile on his face, and his emotions didn't seem to fluctuate too much. He was calm and composed which didn't match his age. He was much better than his true disciple who only cared about reputation.
Master Yunshui was a little sour and said, "If that's the case, you can leave. When you see Long Jia, please tell him hello for me."
After so much preparation, this is the main topic... Lu Zhan smiled and bowed: "If I have the opportunity to meet the Grand Master, I will definitely bring him here."
"Yes." Master Yunshui waved his hand, signaling Lu Zhan to leave. He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he didn't know if Long Jia regretted his original choice...
He didn't know if Long Jia regretted it later, but he really regretted it... How could a young man only practice and not pay attention to women? So when he met Long Jia, he had no experience in chasing girls and failed miserably.
Or maybe it was because Lu Zhan was such a cunning guy that he knew how to cultivate his emotions and focus on both, so he didn’t end up like this, living a lonely life...
Master Yunshui sighed. Whenever he saw his disciples vowing, "I will only practice cultivation in this life and will never be disturbed by women," he felt extremely complicated.
The tears you shed when you are old are all the water that entered your brain when you were young.
The rest of a cultivator’s life is long. If he doesn’t find a Taoist partner while he is still young, it will be too late to regret it later!
……
When packing up to leave, Liu Huiyang specially arranged a banquet to see Lu Zhan off.
Those who came to the banquet were all important disciples from various peaks, both men and women, and it was quite lively.
At the beginning, everyone was having a good time and toasting each other in a harmonious atmosphere. However, after three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere changed a little after everyone got a little tipsy.
"When will Brother Lu marry Junior Sister Ling? I am still waiting to drink in your wedding wine."
"It's a pity that I met Brother Lu too late, otherwise I would have pledged my love to him...Brother Lu is so handsome, but Junior Sister Ling got the upper hand, which makes me very sad."
The Taoist nuns who usually look otherworldly and elegant become more talkative after drinking, but most of the time they are just testing each other.
Although Taoist Yunshan and Master Yunshui both acknowledged that Lu Zhan was the "Uncle of the Yunshui Sect", this was a private matter after all and outsiders did not know about it.
The female disciples who were unhappy with Ling Jiaoyue were full of speculations in their hearts, and they wished that Lu Zhan would take Ling Jiaoyue away today and never let Ling Jiaoyue return to Yunshui Sect.
But before Lu Zhan could answer, the male disciples next to him became unhappy and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Junior Sister Ling and Brother Lu are innocent, how could they get married? If you insult their reputation again, I will definitely not forgive you!"
"Hey, why are you in such a hurry, brothers? Even if Junior Sister Ling and Brother Lu are really innocent, they won't look for you..."
"Brothers are anxious, anxious."
"Stop talking nonsense! Since you are talking nonsense, I have to teach you a lesson on behalf of my sect. Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"Are you afraid? Come on, let's have two fights at Wuji Square. Whoever doesn't go is a cuckold!"
"..."
Lu Zhan held the teacup in his hand, looking at the Yunshui Sect disciples who were picking up their swords and ready to fight, his eyes confused.
Huh? How did things turn out like this? He didn't say anything, and the disciples of Yunshui Sect started fighting among themselves?
Isn’t this the “fan circle” of the previous life!
The female disciples are jealous of Ling Jiaoyue's beauty and talent, and wish that Ling Jiaoyue would be married to him so that they would have one less strong competitor. The male disciples are just fans of her and want to protect the innocence of their junior sister...
Seeing the magic weapons flying around in front, the scene suddenly became chaotic. Lu Zhan sat on the tree next to him, watching the fun with eager eyes.
Unfortunately, not long after the excitement began, a roar was heard from the Wuji Palace, and the entire Wuji Square suddenly became quiet.
It was Master Yunshui who suppressed these little brats.
Lu Zhan smiled and left quietly. This trip to the Yunshui Sect was quite an interesting one.
Not only did he witness the internal strife of the Immortal Sect, but he also gained recognition from Elder Ling Jiaoyue.
Not worth it.
……
The setting sun gradually sinks into the west, and the brilliant sunset glow gradually dissipates, leaving only a dim color in the sky.
Lu Zhan fled far away like a stream of light, but stopped in an isolated village a hundred miles away from Yunshui Sect.
The ancient village has long been uninhabited. The autumn wind blows, leaves fall, and a few crows circle under the old trees.
Lu Zhan headed towards the dilapidated temple outside the village.
The quiet temple is surrounded by dense trees. Rays of setting sun shine through the gaps between the trees, and in the afterglow, there is a lot of evening mist.
A slender figure in white stood between the old trees and the withered temple, his whole body was like a moon, emitting a bright light.
"Why are you waiting for me here?"
Lu Zhan looked at the pretty figure with her back to him. He didn't see Ling Jiaoyue when he was drinking, so he knew that she wanted to see him off alone.
When leaving Yunshui Sect, Lu Zhan realized that Ling Jiaoyue's icy essence was outside the mountain, so he followed the cold air and saw her waiting in the ancient temple in the mountains.
There is an inexplicable attraction between the two holy objects. If the other party is willing, they can sense each other's location within a certain range.
"If we were at the mountain gate, it would cause gossip."
Ling Jiaoyue turned around suddenly, revealing her beautiful profile. Her eyes were like autumn water, as quiet as a deep pool in a valley, yet concealed with tender ripples.
As she turned around, Lu Zhan realized that her clothes were different from before.
Although she was always wearing white clothes, the white clothes in the past wrapped her tightly, except for her white neck, as if to cover all the scenery.
But today her white dress was like a fluttering butterfly, light and somewhat transparent, through which one could vaguely see half of the snow-capped peak.
