After Xiao Youling left, Xia Qingqing immediately went back to her room to wash up and go to sleep.

Because she went to bed early, she woke up early the next day.

Hearing her get up, Lu Jiaojiao in the next room immediately stood up from her cushion.

Xia Qingqing opened the door and saw Lu Jiaojiao standing there. She gave her a bright smile and said, "Jiaojiao, good morning."

"Good morning, Qingqing. Did you sleep well last night?" Lu Jiaojiao asked with concern, worried that Xia Qingqing might not be used to sleeping on her first day.

Xia Qingqing smiled and nodded: "I slept very well. What about you? You get up this early every day."

"No, I didn't sleep last night, I was cultivating," Lu Jiaojiao said.

Xia Qingqing gave her a thumbs up: "Diligent."

Lu Jiaojiao felt a little embarrassed by what was said, as she was considered rather lazy among her peers.

After all, she was born with a higher starting point than others. When she was a child, Xiao Youling felt that she needed to give her a happy childhood and never forced her to cultivate.

Lu Xingzhou wanted his daughter to work harder, but he couldn't make the decision and was powerless to do so.

For various reasons, Lu Jiaojiao became rather lazy.

But as she grew older, many people were watching her because of her status as Lu Jiaojiao. If her cultivation was not up to par, it would be a disgrace to her parents. So even though Xiao Youling and Lu Xingzhou didn't force her to cultivate, she was very concerned about it herself.

"Sister Qingqing, would you like to have breakfast at the sect's dining hall?" Lu Jiaojiao asked Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing nodded and replied, "Sure, I'll go back to my room and change my shoes."

Lu Jiaojiao's gaze fell on Xia Qingqing's feet, noticing that she was wearing a pair of strangely styled shoes: "Sister Qingqing, your shoes look really weird. Are they comfortable to wear like this?"

Xia Qingqing glanced down at the black flip-flops on her feet and said with a smile, "They're alright. Jiaojiao, would you like to try them on? I'll get you a pair."

"good".

After Xia Qingqing changed her shoes, the two went to the canteen together.

When they arrived, there weren't many people in the cafeteria. After Lu Jiaojiao spoke with the cafeteria chef, she led Xia Qingqing to an empty table and sat down. In just a moment, someone brought over a tray of breakfast.

The man, who looked to be in his thirties, said respectfully, "Senior Sister Lu, this is spirit rice porridge that was just cooked this morning. This bun is also made from spirit rice ground into powder, and the filling is made from the meat of Qinglu beef..."

Aside from direct disciples, Xuantian Sect usually addresses people by their cultivation level. So even though the man was much older than Lu Jiaojiao, he still had to call her Senior Sister.

Lu Jiaojiao exchanged a few words with the man and then sent him away.

"Sister Qingqing, quickly try these things and see if you like the taste."

Xia Qingqing smiled, picked up a steamed bun, and took a bite. A unique aroma burst in her mouth, making her eyes light up: "Mmm, delicious, even better than any steamed bun I've ever had before."

Lu Jiaojiao chuckled: "Since you like them, we'll pack some up and take them with us later."

"Are you going to bring some for Sister Youling and the others?" Xia Qingqing asked while eating.

Lu Jiaojiao shook her head: "No need, Father and Mother have long since stopped eating, and even if Mother wants to eat, Father will make it for her."

Xia Qingqing raised her eyebrows in surprise. She hadn't expected that Lu Xingzhou, who looked aloof and ethereal, would cook for his wife in private. Well, he was undoubtedly a husband who served her 24/7.

She stopped chatting with Lu Jiaojiao and focused on eating her breakfast.

After eating three meat buns and a bowl of spirit rice porridge in one go, Xia Qingqing let out a satisfied burp.

"Sister Qingqing, are you full?" Lu Jiaojiao asked.

Xia Qingqing nodded quickly: "I'm full, let's go."

Lu Jiaojiao went to the kitchen and packed up all the leftover steamed buns from the canteen, then handed them all to Xia Qingqing.

Xia Qingqing naturally wouldn't be polite. This Qinglu beef was really delicious, and it warmed her up nicely in her stomach. It could be considered the number one bun she had ever eaten.

Both of them had eaten quite a lot, and Lu Jiaojiao suggested taking Xia Qingqing out for a stroll: "I know a place with very beautiful scenery, Qingqing, would you like to go and see it?"

"Great, this will help with digestion," Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"Lu Jiaojiao, stop!" A slightly shrill female voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

Lu Jiaojiao paused, then turned around impatiently and said, "Qiu Huantao, why did you call me? Speak your mind, or shut up."

"Who is this person next to you? I've never seen him before," Qiu Huantao said, crossing her arms and looking at Xia Qingqing with an arrogant expression.

Lu Jiaojiao snorted coldly: "What's it to you? You're just meddling in other people's business, aren't you?"

"The sect rules stipulate that disciples are not allowed to bring outsiders into the Xuantian Sect. How dare you openly violate the sect rules? I will tell the elders of the Enforcement Hall," Qiu Huantao said smugly, as if she had found a weakness in Lu Jiaojiao.

Qiu Huantao and Lu Jiaojiao are about the same age. Her grandfather is the second elder of Xuantianmen. Logically speaking, such a background should be the envy of everyone. However, she is always overshadowed by Lu Jiaojiao. How could the proud Qiu Huantao be willing to accept this?

Therefore, over the years she has always regarded Lu Jiaojiao as her rival and has been committed to finding fault with Lu Jiaojiao in every way.

The elders of the sect were aware of these things, but it was common for children to fight, and they let them be as they pleased as long as they didn't go too far.

Lu Jiaojiao blinked her big, watery eyes: "I don't know what you're talking about. Sister Qingqing is a guest my mother invited back. If you're not happy about it, go and complain to the elders of the Enforcement Hall."

“You…you’re lying,” Qiu Huantao said, her eyes wide as she pointed at Lu Jiaojiao.

She didn't believe that the woman in front of her was a guest invited back by Yaoguang Zhenjun.

However, Lu Jiaojiao is the biological daughter of Yaoguang Zhenjun, so no matter what, he will definitely protect Lu Jiaojiao.

Lu Jiaojiao naturally grasped this point as well, and gave Qiu Huantao a provocative look: "What? Don't dare to tell on us? Then let's go."

Qiu Huantao stomped her feet in anger: "Damn Lu Jiaojiao, I challenge you to a duel!"

"Sorry, I don't accept," Lu Jiaojiao made a face at her.

Disciples of the Xuantian Sect are not allowed to fight in private, but they can invite each other to the dueling arena. As long as the other party agrees to your invitation, neither side will be held responsible for death or injury.

However, you cannot force someone to accept your invitation.

After provoking Qiu Huantao, Lu Jiaojiao happily took Xia Qingqing's hand and left.

Qiu Huantao was left standing there, angrily shouting, "Ahhh, Lu Jiaojiao, you just wait, I'll get you sooner or later!"
