The jade pendant is like an olive branch from the Bright Moon Immortal Palace; Jiang Qingxue wants to befriend Qin Luo.

Although Qin Luo didn't need these things, it was Jiang Qingxue's kindness after all, so he had no reason to refuse. "Fairy Jiang, if you have time, I would like to invite you for a cup of tea."

"OK."

Jiang Qingxue readily agreed.

Qin Luo had many questions for Jiang Qingxue. "Let's go to Qinghelou for tea."

Caixia blinked; that would be where she would work for the next ten years, and she felt a sense of anticipation.

Luo Xiao watched Jiang Qingxue leave with Qin Luo, his fists clenched, angry but unable to speak out.

Qin Luo and the others descended the mountain at a leisurely pace. They were surrounded by dense bamboo forests. The little dumpling took flight and said in a clear voice, "Caixia, I'll take you to catch bugs."

Caixia looked up at Qin Luo.

"Go."

Qin Luo nodded with a smile.

Caixia followed the little dumpling into the bamboo forest.

The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm returned to its usual desolation. A small yellow butterfly searched for food in the realm and finally landed in the forest, where a golden lotus seed lay not far away.

When Qin Luo and his group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they encountered Dong Yuan again when they passed by the Qingdi Temple.

"Senior Dongyuan!"

Qin Luo and the others greeted them with smiles.

Jiang Qingxue saw the old man bow slightly.

Dong Yuan smiled kindly, "Did you find anything?"

Qin Luo nodded with a smile, his eyes filled with gratitude, "Thank you, Azure Emperor, for allowing us to gain so much."

Chu Peiran and Gui Chen nodded.

"That's good."

Dong Yuan's eyes were filled with satisfaction. They were able to offer incense at the Qingdi Temple, which surpassed that of many other geniuses. The Qingdi Temple was right in front of them, but these geniuses ignored it, only caring about going to the Qingdi Secret Realm to seize the opportunities, forgetting the Qingdi who provided those opportunities.

Qin Luo and the others each received a stroke of good fortune. Shen Jianyi and Jiang Qingxue originally did not receive any good fortune, but because of Qin Luo, they received an immense stroke of good fortune.

"Senior, may we meet again someday!"

Qin Luo bowed, and Gui Chen and Chu Peiran followed suit. Dong Yuan smiled and nodded, watching Qin Luo and the others' backs, and said softly, "You will illuminate an era."

Covered bridge over the lake.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, carrying warmth.

Jiang Qingxue looked at the lotus leaves in the lake. She used to be busy cultivating and rarely had time to stop and appreciate the scenery around her. Walking with Qin Luo gave her a sense of tranquility.

"Boss."

Do you eat insects?

The little dumpling flew back carrying two plump bamboo shoot worm larvae, while Caixia also carried two worms in her hand.

Qin Luo shook his head.

Although the little dumpling is mischievous, she shares good things with others, which is one of her strengths.

"Fairy sister, here you go."

Looking at the wriggling bamboo shoot worm larvae, Jiang Qingxue lost her appetite and shook her slender hand.

Upon seeing this, Chu Peiran said earnestly, "This is a good thing; it tastes amazing when roasted."

Gui Chen said softly, "Amitabha."

The little dumpling opened its mouth and breathed out flames, roasting the bamboo shoot worm larvae in its hand. As it ate the roasted bamboo shoot worm larvae, it said, "They're crispy and fragrant. You really didn't lie to me. Here, have one."

Chu Peiran didn't stand on ceremony. He put the roasted larvae into his mouth, chewed slowly, and couldn't help but sigh, "Crunchy, it tastes just like childhood."

"Sister Tuanzi, there's more here."

Caixia held up the two larvae in her hand, and the little dumpling said crisply, "Leave them to me."

The aroma wafted from the covered bridge.

After leaving the covered bridge, Qin Luo asked curiously, "Fairy Jiang, do you have towns in your immortal realm?"

Jiang Qingxue nodded and smiled, "There are towns in the Immortal Realm. Back then, many of the forces that ascended to the Immortal Realm had their entire families ascend with one person's enlightenment. Resources in the Immortal Realm are also very scarce, and the major forces often fight each other because of their power. In fact, it's not much different from the lower realm."

Chu Peiran said in a deep voice: "The difference is still very big. There are still rules for cultivators in the mortal world. No matter what realm they are, they will suffer a tribulation every five hundred years. There is no such thing as a tribulation every five hundred years in the immortal world, unless they take the initiative to undergo the tribulation."

"This is the first time I've heard of this."

"Me too."

The little dumpling nodded in agreement with Qin Luo.

Caixia looked up and said, "The Azure Emperor has helped me through countless tribulations."

"Me too."

"My boss helped me through many, many hardships."

Qin Luo tapped the little dumpling on the head and said seriously, "Stop bragging."

"I know!"

The little dumpling covered its head.

Jiang Qingxue covered her mouth and chuckled, finding them quite amusing.

Jiangling City, Qinghe Tower.

Xiao Tao and Dou Dou sat at the top of the stairs, their faces in their hands, lost in thought. A day and a night had passed, and not a single customer had come for tea.

When Qin Luo and the others returned, Xiao Tao and Dou Dou stood up excitedly, and Cai Xia also looked around Qinghe Building, which looked quite spacious.

Qin Luo asked with a smile, "Xiao Tao, are you open for business?"

"not yet."

Xiao Tao scratched her head awkwardly.

Qin Luo looked at Jiang Qingxue and said softly, "Fairy Jiang, it seems you are the first guest of Qinghe Restaurant. I'll invite you to have some tea."

"It is my honor."

Jiang Qingxue nodded with a smile.

Qin Luo and Jiang Qingxue sat down by the window upstairs. They sat facing each other, and Dou Dou brought over the tea set while Xiao Tao brought over hot water.

"Caixia, this cat-eared lady is the owner of Qinghe Tower. You'll be working there from now on, so listen to her," Qin Luo instructed.

"Uh-huh."

Caixia nodded emphatically.

The little dumpling tilted its head and asked, "Big brother, why didn't you bring Caixia along?"

Qin Luo said seriously, "You can stay here with her too."

Caixia looked at the little dumpling with anticipation.

The little dumpling knew who the big shot was. She coughed twice and said, "Caixia, your sister Tuanzi is going to the capital to do something important. I'll come back to see you later."

"I'll be waiting for you here."

Although they had just met, Caixia treated Xiaotuanzi as a good friend.

Chu Peiran came upstairs. "Xiao Tao, come with me. I'll teach you to read."

"Thank you, Young Master Chu."

Xiao Tao and Dou Dou were overjoyed.

Qin Luo looked at the little dumpling sitting on his shoulder, picking its toes, and said seriously, "Go and study with them."

The little dumpling left reluctantly, with Caixia following behind her.

Upstairs, only Qin Luo and Jiang Qingxue remained. He took out the jar of tea that Fuyun Jushi had given him.
