"No! Don't be impulsive!"
"I was just joking with you young friends. Actually, I am also from the Qingyun lineage, and we are fellow disciples."
Zhou Yixian grew anxious, a wry smile on his face, and waved his hands repeatedly.
Murong Fu patted the hilt of Lu Xueqi's sword, signaling her to sheathe it, and said with a faint smile, "I was just joking."
"Phew~"
Zhou Yixian breathed a long sigh of relief.
Zeng Shushu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Old man, you said you belong to the Qingyun lineage? May I ask which lineage you belong to?"
Zhou Yixian rolled his eyes and said, "My ancestors learned physiognomy from the Chaoyang Peak lineage of the Qingyun Sect thousands of years ago. It has been passed down from generation to generation, and I am now the eighteenth generation successor."
Zeng Shushu said with a playful tone, "I see. So you're of the same generation as our sect leader, and I have to call you 'Uncle-Master'?"
"No need for the title of 'Master Uncle'. In the end, I'm just an outer disciple."
Zhou Yixian waved his hand, frantically giving the girl meaningful glances.
"Oh dear, Grandpa, my stomach hurts."
The girl understood and clutched her stomach, crying out.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry, my granddaughter has an upset stomach, so I'm taking her to see a doctor first."
Zhou Yixian immediately replied.
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a talisman and threw it on the ground.
After a puff of smoke, he and the girl disappeared.
"What a brilliant escape technique!"
Zeng Shushu was surprised. He carefully sensed with his divine sense but found no trace of the grandfather and grandson.
Lu Xueqi remained expressionless and said calmly, "This is an Earth Escape Talisman. You need to explore underground."
"I see."
Zeng Shushu suddenly realized, and probed the ground with his divine sense. There were indeed traces of earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique), but the person had already escaped far away and was out of his sensing range.
"This grandfather and grandson seem strange, but they don't have any demonic aura, so they probably aren't from the demonic path," Zeng Shushu commented.
At this moment.
Two women walked by.
One of them was dressed in black, his face veiled, revealing a pair of stunningly beautiful, watery eyes that were both captivating and enigmatic.
The girl beside them, dressed in a light green dress, was beautiful with delicate eyebrows and fair skin. Her bright eyes revealed a playful expression as she looked at them, seemingly mocking them, yet also admiring them. It was quite a sight.
"What a beautiful woman."
Zeng Shushu was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi also looked over, but they both frowned.
There is a repulsion between different kinds of beauty.
Deep down, they all had a feeling that this woman in light green would be their formidable rival!
The girl in green whispered in the ear of the woman in black, "Aunt You, that person is not simple."
The person she was referring to was none other than the calm-looking Murong Fu.
"Heh~ It's just the Foundation Establishment stage."
The woman in black glanced at it, then chuckled softly, a contemptuous smile curving her lips.
"But I felt something was off about his eyes... How should I describe it? It was like he saw us as prey? No, more like caged birds?"
The girl in green raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, a hint of melancholy in her expression.
“A cultivator’s intuition is usually accurate. Could this boy possess a magical treasure with astonishing power?” The woman in black frowned upon hearing this.
The girl in green suddenly smiled, a smile as warm as spring flowers blooming and wildflowers in full bloom:
"Who cares? We're here to have fun, not to fight. As long as we don't reveal our identities, who would dare to make a move at the foot of Qingyun Mountain?"
"That's true."
The woman in black nodded slightly.
...
Shanhaiyuan
The largest inn and the most luxurious restaurant in Heyang City.
Those who can enter this place are basically all people with cultivation. Ordinary mortals, even if they are extremely wealthy, are not qualified to set foot here.
"Welcome, sir! Please come in, a private room is available!"
The innkeeper recognized Zeng Shushu and ran out to greet him respectfully.
"Manager, just like last time, bring two of our signature steamed mackerel, and some other signature dishes. You can decide what to order."
Zeng Shushu ordered the dishes with practiced ease.
Yes, yes.
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed.
Zeng Shushu originally intended to lead Murong Fu and the others to a private room, but suddenly noticed that two people were sitting by the window, the black-clad woman and the green-clad girl he had just caught a glimpse of.
The woman in black had removed her veil, revealing an unparalleled beauty.
Unlike the youthful beauty of the girl in green, the woman in black was mature and breathtakingly beautiful.
Zeng Shushu had a particular fondness for this!
He immediately went to them.
"Gentlemen, we meet again," Zeng Shushu said with a cupped fist and a smile.
Unexpectedly, the two women glanced at him indifferently and ignored him.
Zeng Shushu awkwardly touched her nose. Am I that bad-looking? Is it really that bad?
“My name is Zeng Shushu. Shu means book. You two ladies can just call me Shushu,” Zeng Shushu continued.
"How utterly boring! Are all the Qingyun Sect members just glib-tongued fools?"
The girl in green turned her head, glanced at him sideways, and said teasingly.
Zeng Shushu was even more embarrassed upon hearing this.
Sometimes, even a good name can be a mistake.
"Ladies, Senior Brother Zeng is just joking with you. Actually, he calls Aunt Zeng, the 'aunt' in 'uncle' and 'auntie'."
Murong Fu spoke, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.
*Pfft*
The girl in green couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Interesting, this is the first time I've ever heard of someone calling someone 'auntie'?"
Even the woman in black couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly, clearly amused.
