Seeing Li Daoxuan begin to meditate, no one went forward to disturb him. After all, judging from his somewhat pale face, he must have encountered a fierce battle outside.
Lu Xueqi began to protect Li Daoxuan, her eyes warily scanning the surroundings to prevent any villains from disturbing her husband.
Time flies.
For the past few days, Li Daoxuan has been staying at the settlement, where loud roaring sounds have been heard from time to time.
The battle on the distant horizon was also coming to an end.
It took three Golden Core experts several days of relentless attacks to finally wear down three third-tier demonic beasts.
The death of their leader left the first and second-tier monsters without their support. Knowing they were no match for humans, they began to flee in a frenzy.
"Activate the grand formation!"
"Buzz—!"
The sect disciples had anticipated this scene and had prepared a barrier formation in advance.
So many demonic beasts are treasures from head to toe, how can we let them go for nothing?
A massacre that lasted for months ensued.
After several days of massacre and once the situation had completely stabilized, the sect disciples sent people to contact the survivors, including Li Daoxuan.
"Everyone, now that Wan Jin Lane is destroyed, those who wish to leave, please follow me. I will lead you away from the great formation. Those who wish to stay and hunt demonic beasts, we will not stop them, as long as they do not interfere with us."
"This is what the sect disciple said."
The group pondered, realizing they had been living peacefully in Wan Jin Lane when they unexpectedly encountered this unforeseen calamity.
They did not choose to stay, and Li Daoxuan was no exception. His principle was to stay away from trouble and live a quiet and secluded life.
Leave Wanjin Lane.
Li Daoxuan looked at the vast world with a bewildered expression.
The world is so vast, yet I know not where to go.
"Husband, where are we going?"
Lu Xueqi looked at her pillar of support.
Let's take it one step at a time...
Li Daoxuan shook his head and led Lu Xueqi to find another place to stay.
......
"Have you heard? It seems the family has hired a guest advisor."
"It seems his surname is Li. I don't know how capable he is, but since the patriarch invited him to be a guest elder, he must be quite capable."
"That's right, but I've heard that Li Keqing only drinks tea and listens to operas every day. Is that really true?"
Everyone shared what they had seen and heard.
The Li guest they were referring to was naturally Li Daoxuan.
After traveling for several months, Li Daoxuan arrived at this large city of cultivators, which was far larger than the Wan Jin Lane he had visited before.
Changing his previous approach, Li Daoxuan chose to join a small family and live a quiet life.
As for the reason, he knew that earning spirit stones was not enough for one person; he had to emulate the industry chain from his previous life.
He produces the goods, and his family helps him sell them, so he doesn't have to show his face in public and can just sit back and wait for the spirit stones to arrive each month.
"My esteemed guest, you certainly have refined tastes. Don't you tire of drinking tea and listening to music every day?"
A figure sat down next to Li Daoxuan.
"Miss Liu, did you manage to obtain what I, Li, wanted by coming to see me?"
Li Daoxuan said calmly.
The woman who just sat down is Liu Ling, the daughter of the head of the Liu family.
A few days ago, Li Daoxuan asked Liu Ming to help him get a complete guide to first-order formations.
After all, having finally arrived at this large gathering place of cultivators, it was impossible for them to forget about the array formations they had long coveted.
So he asked Liu Ming, the head of the Liu family, to help him get it done.
"It's boring, you could have guessed that."
Liu Ling pursed her lips, took out a thick book, and handed it to Li Daoxuan.
Li Daoxuan took it and looked through it: "This is not hard to guess. After all, I have no connection with Miss Liu. You must have been sent by the head of the family to come to me."
At first glance, it was indeed a complete explanation of a first-order formation, recorded very clearly. With his foundation in talismans, he could understand much of it.
On the other side, Lu Xueqi, being a considerate woman, poured Liu Ling a cup of tea.
Seeing that Li Daoxuan was in the zone, the two went outside to chat.
Liu Ling wasn't familiar with Li Daoxuan, but she was very close to Lu Xueqi.
As peers, they get along very well.
"Sister Lu, there's a party tomorrow, why don't you come with me?"
Liu Ling extended an invitation.
"A party? I think I'll pass. I don't know anyone there, and I don't even know what the party is about."
Lu Xueqi thought for a moment and then declined.
"No, this gathering is actually just a tea party. All the participants are female cultivators from our families. Besides, there's me too. It's so boring following Li Keqing around all day."
Liu Ling held Lu Xueqi's hand and tried to persuade her.
Lu Xueqi felt a little uncomfortable being held like this, as this was the first time anyone other than Li Daoxuan had held her hand.
However, since the other person was a girl, I didn't say anything.
"I need to ask my husband. If he agrees, I won't mind going to take a look."
Lu Xueqi pondered.
"Yay!"
"Why are you so happy so soon? My husband hasn't agreed yet."
"Li Keqing will definitely agree. If he doesn't, I'll keep bothering him until he can drink tea and listen to music again."
Liu Ling revealed a 'fierce' expression, which made Lu Xueqi laugh.
......
"The party... if my wife wants to go, then she may go."
After understanding the nature of the gathering, he didn't stop her. It wasn't good to keep Lu Xueqi cooped up at home all the time; it would be good for her to interact more with people her own age.
The main reason is that the previous gathering place for cultivators was somewhat chaotic and unsafe, but the place we've come to now is very safe. It's said that the city lord in charge is a Nascent Soul cultivator, so no one dares to cause trouble.
In this safe environment, he didn't need to worry so much, as Lu Xueqi also had many life-saving measures he had given her.
"Thank you, my husband!"
Lu Xueqi was happy to receive permission and skillfully kissed Li Daoxuan. Only after she finished did she realize that Liu Ling was watching, and her face flushed slightly.
Liu Ling felt a little jealous and stared at Li Daoxuan with resentment in her eyes.
Seeing him was inexplicable.
The gathering is tomorrow, so Liu Ling took Lu Xueqi out shopping.
Li Daoxuan continued to study the art of formations.
......
"That's wonderful..."
Liu Ling's gaze was fixed on Lu Xueqi's red lips.
This made her very uncomfortable, thinking that Liu Ling meant kissing a man, so she said, "Xiao Ling is also of marriageable age. She'll know what it feels like when she finds the man she likes."
"I'm not getting married. All men are the same. I only want Sister Lu."
"Stop fooling around."
Lu Xueqi slapped away the hand that was pinching her waist.
Liu Ling is good in every way, except that she likes to touch people inappropriately.
"Sister Lu, this is a normal way for girls to interact; it's a sign of close affection."
Liu Ling defended herself.
The moment she saw Lu Xueqi, she fell in love with this woman who had an extraordinary temperament and stunning looks. After much persistence, she finally became friends with Lu Xueqi.
She had a ulterior motive, while Lu Xueqi wanted to make friends.
The naive Lu Xueqi was unaware that there was a type of girl in the world who only liked other girls; otherwise, she would have kept her distance from Liu Ling.
This outcome is also due to Liu Ling's exceptional ability to conceal her true nature; she has never exposed herself from childhood to adulthood, nor has she ever been entangled with other women.
Li Daoxuan had also investigated Liu Ling's character and interpersonal relationships; otherwise, he wouldn't have felt comfortable letting his wife interact with her.
"What does Sister Lu think of me?"
"She's a good girl. Whoever marries you will be very lucky."
Lu Xueqi praised.
"Is that so?"
Having received the answer she wanted, Liu Ling beamed with joy.
PS: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
