One of the two was dressed in an elaborate floral dress, and the other in a simple Taoist robe.
It was Hua Nongying and the True Man Dingfeng of Qiankun Fortress.
The two men walked up to Qi Yu in a few steps, looking at her with different expressions.
Qi Yu pursed her lips, jumped off the Howling Moon Wolf, and her mind raced.
These two are far more powerful than her, and Xiao Hei probably can't outrun them, so there's no point in her staying on the wolf's back any longer.
They just didn't seem to recognize her immediately, or rather...
Qi Yu glanced at Hua Nongying.
Hua Nongying stared subtly at the sword at her waist, without saying a word.
...There was no intention to directly expose it.
We can try the same trick again and see if we can get away with it.
Master Dingfeng held a talisman in his hand, squinted at her for a moment, and said, "Which elder are you from? I've never seen you before."
Qi Yu's gaze slowly shifted to the puzzled face of Master Dingfeng, and she feigned disappointment, saying, "How could Master not have seen this disciple? This disciple always greets Master whenever we meet. Alas, it's just that this disciple's cultivation is too low to catch Master's eye. This disciple is a disciple of Elder Wang, and Elder Wang just sent this disciple out to look for and see if we can capture that witch."
Seeing the little girl on the verge of tears, Master Dingfeng slapped his forehead and said, "I remember! I remember! My memory is really good. You are Wang Wang's newly accepted disciple. I remember you."
Qi Yu tried hard to suppress his laughter and asked, "Why is the True Immortal here?"
Master Dingfeng sighed and said, "It's all because of Li Daogu, or rather Elder Li. He insisted that the person might have escaped and that we should all chase after them. At this critical juncture, instead of focusing on the important thing, he's fixated on a little girl."
He seemed reluctant to say more, waving his hand and saying, "Keep looking, I'll go first. Commander Hua, want to come along?"
Hua Nongying smiled and said, "The air outside is nice. I'll wander around a bit more. You should go back first."
Master Dingfeng nodded and flew away on his sword.
Qi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, glanced furtively at Hua Nongying who was standing there, and asked, "I wonder what advice Master Hua has for me?"
Hua Nongying gave her a playful look and said, "Qi Yu?"
Qi Yu blinked and said, "Is Senior calling me? I don't have the surname Qi."
"Stop pretending! You haven't even sheathed your sword properly." Hua Nongying walked forward with a smile and pinched her soft cheek. "Is this your real face?"
Qi Yu broke down and stopped pretending to be stupid.
She struggled to free her new face from Hua Nongying's nail-applied hands, rubbing her face and saying, "Of course my face is real, there's no such thing as a fake face!"
Hua Nongying glanced at her and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll grab you and throw you to that old geezer Li Daogu?"
Qi Yu chuckled and asked, "So, will Commander Hua know how?"
Hua Nongying pinched her cheek again in annoyance and said, "You little thing are quite clever. I've disliked that old bastard for a long time. Letting him have an easy time is just making me annoyed."
"This disciple knew that Master Hua was an upright and incorruptible person, completely different from that old codger Li Daogu!" Qi Yu began to flatter him in a serious manner.
"Alright, alright, stop joking around," Hua Nongying said. "Now that you've offended Qiankun Fortress, you can't go back to the Spirit Academy. But then again, you're almost at the Foundation Establishment stage, right? It's about time you left. The Spirit Academy can't keep you for much longer."
Hua Nongying sighed and said, "If I didn't know that your spiritual root was special, I might have really thought that you had taken the path of demonic cultivation. You've cultivated so fast, are you leaving any room for others to live?"
Qi Yu also sighed, "It's time to start wandering again."
Hua Nongying looked at her for a while, then her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, "Why don't you wait two years until the Yunyang Sect starts its recruitment ceremony and come to our Yunyang Sect? You are very suitable to be a sword cultivator."
"Two years..."
Two years is a bit too long, and besides, Yunyang Sect is the sect where the male protagonist Chu Mo belongs, so she doesn't want to confront him head-on too early.
She now prefers to join a small sect or become a free-spirited cultivator.
Qi Yu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then decided to offer Hua Nongying a promise first, saying, "Thank you for your recognition, Master. If I haven't found a suitable sect by then, I will definitely go to Yunyang Sect!"
Hua Nongying shrugged and said, "It's all up to you. If you don't like it, I won't force you."
Qi Yu was grateful for Hua Nongying's understanding and asked, "Master Hua, do you know how that disciple who stood in front of me and was injured by Li Daogu is doing now?"
"You mean Gou Dan?" Hua Nongying picked up a strand of hair and began to slowly comb it. "As soon as the Vermilion Bird appeared, Prince Zhu took him away. I don't know the specifics of what happened to him."
She sighed, "I really didn't expect it. He looks so ordinary, but he is actually a descendant of the Vermilion Bird bloodline. The new disciples of the Spirit Academy this year are truly full of hidden talents."
Qi Yu frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried.
When I was trying to get information out of Zhu Yu earlier, she said that something seemed off about the royal family of the Vermilion Bird Kingdom. I wonder if Gou Dan's awakening of the Vermilion Bird bloodline is a good thing or a bad thing.
But in the end, he has embarked on a completely new path.
As dusk fell, Qi Yu bowed to Hua Nongying and said, "Teacher Hua, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave now."
Hua Nongying nodded.
Qi Yu climbed onto the back of the Howling Moon Wolf, grabbed a few tufts of coarse wolf fur, and prepared to leave.
"Wait!" Hua Nongying suddenly jumped onto the sword and called out to her.
Qi Yu tugged at Xiao Hei's fur to make it stop, then turned back to Hua Nongying with a puzzled look and asked, "Is there anything else, Commander Hua?"
Hua Nongying smiled, her beautiful face as radiant as a blooming rose.
