She was one of her earliest guides and Luo Liuli's disciple. Lu Yuanyuan herself was also cheerful and lively.

So he and this true disciple could get along well.

Some things were not hidden from her, such as the fact that she chose to study the Lu Xian Sword Sutra.

"Junior brother actually wants to learn this martial art." Lu Yuanyuan said in surprise, "Although I am a cultivator, I have heard of the bad reputation of this sword technique. Not many people have learned it in the past, and no one in this generation has chosen it. Junior brother, you must be more careful when you practice in the future."

Lu Yuanyuan did not question Zhou Qing's choice. Everyone is now a true disciple. Everyone has their own choice and others have no right to interfere.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister Lu, I won't do anything stupid."

Lu Yuanyuan smiled again and said, "When Junior Brother has mastered the Immortal-Slaying Sword Sutra, I will also rely on him in the future."

"If there are any tasks in the future, we can carry them out together."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I'll need Senior Sister to take care of me when the time comes."

"We are helping each other." Lu Yuanyuan added, "Junior brother, you just came back from Hanyuan County and you may not know that some of the true disciples are very curious about you."

"After you passed the qualification test, when I met with my friends, they all asked me about you. Your performance in the Ten Thousand Demons Tower shocked many people."

"If there is a chance, I would also like to get to know all of you senior brothers and sisters."

Zhou Qing looked sincere. He always liked making friends. More friends means more paths to choose from.

"Don't worry, there are still many days to come."

There were only two of them at this time, Luo Liuli had already left.

Lu Yuanyuan is an extrovert and Zhou Qing is not a reserved person, so there was laughter and joy for a while.

At a certain moment, a disciple who lived in Shuiyue Peak for many years came to them and reported respectfully:

"Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Zhou, someone is visiting from outside Shuiyue Peak, and he said he is here to see Senior Brother Zhou."

There are few people on Shuiyue Peak, and it is very deserted.

But there are still disciples who are responsible for communicating internal and external affairs, otherwise how can people outside contact Shuiyue Peak.

"oh?"

Zhou Qing asked with some confusion: "Who wants to see me?"

Lin Yi, the administrative disciple, replied, "He said he is a disciple of Zidian Peak, and he came here on behalf of the master of Zidian Peak. He has something to discuss with Senior Brother Zhou in person."

Lu Yuanyuan said, "Zi Dian Peak? Isn't that where the Jingu Bridge is?"

Zhou Qing looked at Lu Yuanyuan, and before he could ask, she explained:

"Zi Dian Peak is also a true disciple peak. The true disciple there is the Jin Gu Qiao I mentioned. The people outside must have been sent by Jin Gu Qiao."

Zhou Qing was puzzled, "Why did Senior Brother Jin send someone to look for me?"

He doesn't know this true disciple.

Zhou Qing asked again: "How is the relationship between Senior Brother Jin and Senior Sister Lu?"

"Very bad." Lu Yuanyuan said without hesitation: "Basically, they don't interact with each other. There are many conflicts. Jin Guqiao is a true disciple of the aristocratic family, and the most important thing is his father."

At this point, Lu Yuanyuan looked around and felt as if she was being sly.

"Lin Yi, you go down first. You don't have to worry about the disciple from Zidian Peak outside."

Lin Yi took the order and retreated. Then Lu Yuanyuan moved closer to Zhou Qing and whispered:

"Jin Guqiao's father, Jin Zudao, once pursued the master when he was young, but was decisively rejected by the master."

"After that, Jin Zudao went against the master many times. Later, he had a son, Jin Guqiao, who also often clashed with the disciples of Shuiyue Peak."

"It can be said that this family is at odds with the Shuiyue Peak lineage. Now Jin Guqiao has sent someone to look for you. I think he has bad intentions."

“…”

It turned out to be a problem left over from the previous generation.

Zhou Qing thought for a moment, then said, "No matter what Jin Guqiao's intentions are, it would not be appropriate if he didn't meet him."

After learning about these relationships, Zhou Qing no longer called him Senior Brother Jin, but called him by his name, just like Lu Yuanyuan.

Lu Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Junior brother, you are right. That disciple came here on behalf of Jin Guqiao. If you let him leave directly, it will be bad for your reputation."

Lu Yuanyuan felt that since Zhou had just been promoted to the true disciple and was still her junior brother, it would not be a good idea for her to just ignore Jin Guqiao.

It is also because Zhou Qing is now at Shuiyue Peak, not at his Zhenchuan Peak, and he has no one under his command.

Otherwise, just let the disciples below communicate with the other party, and he doesn't have to show up.

After all, this is not Zhou Qing's territory, so it's not a good idea to let the disciples of Shuiyue Peak be responsible for the communication.

However, he has not yet set up his current team, so he has to do some things himself for the time being.

"You can go and see what Jingu Qiao wants to do."

"Then Senior Sister Lu, please wait here for me. I'll be back soon."

Zhou Qing got up and left, and saw the disciple from Zidian Peak at the foot of Shuiyue Peak.

"Brother Zhou."

The man first saluted Zhou Qing, and there was nothing wrong with his attitude.

Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "What does Senior Brother Jin want you to do?"

"Brother Jin was delighted to learn that the sect had gained a new true disciple. He has already prepared a banquet at Zidian Peak and specially invited Brother Zhou to go there to drink and chat with him."

"Besides, Senior Brother Qi is also there."

Zhou Qing was pondering Jin Guqiao's intention. Just inviting him to the banquet and sending a disciple to inform him would be enough.

But he was obviously from Shuiyue Peak, and the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious, so why invite him? "Brother Qi? Which Brother Qi?"

"Of course it's the third true disciple, Senior Brother Qi Yunhai."

Zhou Qing was a little surprised. This person was also here? "Brother Zhou, please come in."

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. What invitation do you want?

"I have just been promoted to the True Transmission, and I still have a lot of things to do. I cannot spare the time for now, so let's forget about today's banquet."

"I will visit Zidian Peak when I am free in the future. Please convey my apologies to Senior Brothers Jin and Qi for me."

Going to a banquet, what banquet?

You, Jinguqiao, asked me to go, so do I have to go?

Do you think I will be scared if you bring up Qi Yunhai?

The Zidian Peak disciple's expression changed, as if he had not expected Zhou Qing to reject him so straightforwardly. He immediately said:

"Senior Brother Zhou, this is an invitation from Senior Brother Jin and Senior Brother Qi."

"I know it was the invitation from the two senior brothers." Zhou Qing said, "I am very sorry that I can't meet with the two senior brothers. You can go back and report it."

After saying that, Zhou Qing turned and left, thinking in his mind that he should find a few people. In the future, he could just let his subordinates step forward to deal with such things.

I seemed to hear Han Shanshan say that her brother is at Xuandu Temple. I'll ask later if anyone from the Han family is willing to come.

It’s not that Zhou Qing became arrogant after being promoted to the true disciple, nor does he feel that doing these things would bring shame to the true disciple.

The reputation of the true sect has never been earned by these things.

Even if Dugu of Yuhua Peak was drinking and chatting with an outer disciple and calling him a brother, no one would look down on him or think that he was not weak.

Instead, we will praise him from another perspective.

Talent and strength are the face and the source of others' respect for you.

Zhou Qing wanted to find a few people to do these things for him purely because he found it troublesome.

He's just plain lazy...

Seeing Zhou Qing turn around and leave without hesitation, the expressions of the disciples of Zidian Peak sank, but they did not dare to say anything and could only leave in hatred.

After telling Lu Yuanyuan about Jin Guqiao and Qi Yunhai, Lu Yuanyuan was still confused and couldn't guess what these two people meant.

Why did these two invite Junior Brother together? Did they want Junior Brother to join the noble family? ...

Zidian Peak, inside Zidian Palace.

Jin Guqiao was talking to a tall and handsome young man. Both of them had obvious smiles on their faces and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

The disciple who was going to Shuiyue Peak walked in at this time and saluted respectfully.

"Senior Brother Jin, Senior Brother Qi."

"Junior Brother Yu is back." Jin Guqiao asked with a smile:

"Where is the popular Junior Brother Zhou?"

Junior Brother Yu said angrily, "Senior Brother Jin, Senior Brother Zhou directly rejected the invitation, saying that he didn't have time to come to Zidian Peak."

The smile on Jin Guqiao's face faded, and Senior Brother Qi next to him also frowned slightly.

Jin Guqiao asked again: "Didn't you say that Senior Brother Qi was also waiting for him at Zidian Peak?"

Junior Brother Yu said helplessly: "I have told Senior Brother Zhou, but he still said he is busy and unwilling to come."

Junior Brother Yu did not lie. It would be too easy to be exposed if he lied about something like this.

Junior Brother Yu wanted to say something, but Senior Brother Jin waved his hand.

"You go down first."

After Junior Brother Yu left, the atmosphere here was silent for a short time, then Jin Guqiao laughed at himself and said, "I had planned to get to know Junior Brother Zhou, so I specially invited Senior Brother Qi to a banquet, so that we could get to know each other better and support each other in the future. I didn't expect that..."

Qi Yunhai shook his head slightly, "I think Junior Brother Zhou really can't spare the time."

"Yes, I have just been promoted to the True Transmission, so I am indeed a bit busy." Jin Guqiao said:

"Then there is no need to delay any longer. I will have to accompany you for a couple of drinks today."

"Brother Qi, please."

The two walked to another place and talked and laughed again, but Qi Yunhai sneered in his heart.

In front of me, he asked someone to invite Zhou Qing, and then he asked me to stay, saying that the three of us would have a banquet together. Now...

Haha, Jinguqiao, that’s a good idea.

This Junior Brother Jin is really a complete villain.

But since he knew I was here, he still didn't give me this face, Zhou Qing...

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Zhou Qing had no idea what happened at Zidian Peak, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He doesn't care whether some people are friends or enemies.

Lu Yuanyuan had already left. Zhou Qing took out the spirit beast token and released the crane.

The beautiful snow-white crane rubbed its head against Zhou Qing again to show its closeness.

Stroking the crane's head and feeling the power in the crane's body, Zhou Qing was quite satisfied. A peak fourth-order spirit beast could be promoted to the fifth order immediately if there was any opportunity, which was comparable to the marrow cleansing stage.

It is at a higher level than his own, and it looks majestic when he rides it.

"But why did you take the initiative to get close to me..."

Zhou Qing was a little confused, wondering what was so attractive about him that attracted this crane.

He is definitely not the type of person who has an affinity for spiritual beasts, otherwise it would not just be the crane that would be attracted to him.

Faced with Zhou Qing's questions, Xianhe himself was also confused and unable to express what he meant.

Although spiritual beasts are more spiritual than wild beasts, they are still beasts, not monsters.

Their extra spirituality is more reflected in the fact that they are easy to approach and are not dominated by instinct, but it is impossible to say that they are as smart as humans.

Even if this crane is a peak fourth-order spirit beast, and has the spirit beast card as a connection, Zhou Qing cannot learn its specific thoughts from this level.

I can only vaguely sense some simple thoughts.

It probably means that I feel very close to him when I see him and want to get closer to him.

But it didn't explain why.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Qing smiled slightly.

"No matter what, you will follow me from now on. I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

It doesn’t matter why the crane chose him. It has already acknowledged its master and cannot betray him.

Zhou Qing took out some spiritual objects to feed the crane. They were all elixirs and spiritual plants that he had no use for, but they were far more precious than the food given by the Crane Peak.

Of course, the animal food given to disciples by Xianhe Peak cannot be very precious.

"Xiao Qi, this name is too common. I have to change your name."

There is no telling how many Xiaoqis there are on Xianhe Peak; one call can attract a large number of them.

"From now on, I'll call you Xiao Qi, the Qi that means praying."

The crane has no opinion, and even if it had one it couldn't speak out, and keeping silent meant it agreed.

After playing with Xiao Qi for a while, Zhou Qing got on it and flew directly out of the Xuanfa Mountains.

After getting outside, Zhou Qing took out his flying magic weapon and flew to the north.

He is now going to Yunjiang in Hanzhou. Xiao Qi's flying speed is not as fast as that of a flying magic weapon. In order to arrive faster, he has to fly himself.

The Han family gave him a top-grade flying magic weapon, which also came with some vitality crystals, so Zhou Qing's speed was quite fast at this time.

Xuanfa Mountains are located in Xuanfa County. You can tell why it was named that way.

The Yunjiang River flows through several counties in Hanzhou. The section closest to Xuanfa County is in Beijiang County, where there happens to be a station set up by the Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

There is a Minggu County between Xuanfa County and Beijiang County. This county is somewhat extraordinary. There is a dangerous place in its territory called Minggu Divine Mountain.

It is said that that dangerous place is a relic from an extremely ancient time and its origin cannot be traced back to ancient times.

It is said that the founder of Xuandu Temple established the sect and the Xuanfa Mountains, and also intended to supervise the Minggu Sacred Mountain to prevent some evil spirits from causing chaos in the mountains.

However, this is just a rumor, and the truth can no longer be found out.

Practitioners from all over Hanzhou and even beyond come to explore the Minggu Divine Mountain. Disciples of Xuandu Temple also often appear in this dangerous place, which is considered a very good place for training and treasure hunting.

Zhou Qing was also a little curious about it, but this time he had to cross Mingu County, Mingu Sacred Mountain and so on, so he had to go and see it later.

When Zhou Qing set out, there was still the afterglow of the sun between the sky and the earth. When he arrived in Beijiang County, it was already the early morning of the next day, and the morning light was shining.

Hanzhou is really big. If it were in Tianzhou, how could it take Zhou Qing so long to cross a county at his current flying speed?

The journey was peaceful, nothing happened and we didn't encounter any unexpected situations.

After entering Beijiang County, a vast and surging river soon appeared before Zhou Qing's eyes.

The section of Yunjiang in Hanzhou is different from that in Tianzhou.

The river water here is clearer, but also colder. When approaching Yunjiang River, Zhou Qing could clearly feel the temperature dropping a few degrees.

Going upstream, he soon saw a complex of buildings built along the river.

This is the Hanzhou base of Yunjiang Dragon Palace, Hanyun Villa. This villa not only shoulders the responsibility of communicating with Xuandu Temple, but also facilitates contact with the Snow Clan.

It is naturally impossible to build a station with such a function at the bottom of the river.

Zhou Qing arrived at the main gate, and the guards of the water tribe stopped him and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The True Transmission Order flashed out, and Zhou Qing replied: "Xuandu True Transmission Zhou Qing, I know Her Highness Ao Xuanwei of Yunjiang Dragon Palace, and I came to visit her today."

Seeing the true order, the guards of the water tribe were shocked and stood in awe.

"So it's Xuandu Zhenchuan, please follow me."

It is absolutely impossible for a person from Xuandu Zhenchuan to visit and wait for permission to come at the door.

Zhou Qing followed the water creature in and came to the reception area.

"Please wait for a moment, my dear guest, Dragon Palace..."

Before the water creature could finish his words, footsteps were heard outside, and then a humanoid creature with dragon horns on its head was seen walking in from outside.

He laughed and said:

"I have waited day and night for Master Zhou to finally come."

The guards of the water tribe retreated quietly, and the man with dragon horns walked up to Zhou Qing with a smile on his face.

"My name is Ao Han, and I'm the person in charge of this Hanyun Mansion."

"Senior Ao."

Zhou Qing's heart moved. The dragon in front of him also had the surname Ao, and it seemed that it was a direct descendant of the Yunjiang Dragon Palace.

"Mr. Zhou is too polite. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ao." Ao Han said with a smile:

"I watched Xuan Wei grow up. Since you left Black Cloud Town, she has mentioned you to me more than once, asking me to keep an eye out for any news about you."

Zhou Qing was embarrassed, wondering why he felt like he was meeting the parents' parents, but he readily changed his words and told Ao Han not to be polite and just treat him as a junior.

No wonder Ao Han seemed to have known me for a long time. It turned out that Ao Xuanwei had already informed this side before she arrived in Hanzhou.

"After I left Black Cloud Town, I traveled for a month and just arrived at Xuandu Temple at the end of last month. Since then, I have been busy with the matter of true disciples."

Zhou Qing said, "I just got some free time today, so I came to Hanyun Villa right away."

"The matter of Xuan Du's true teachings is of great importance. We should go all out." Ao Han looked at Zhou Qing with admiration in his eyes.

"I would also like to congratulate you on your advancement to the True Transmission. With your talent and the support of Xuandu Temple, you will have a smooth road ahead in the future."

Xuan Du Zhen Chuan and Hei Yun Cao Mang have completely different meanings, even though they are actually the same person.

But the former is valued countless times more than the latter.

Zhou Qing said modestly: "We need to work harder."

Then he said, "Uncle Ao, I came here this time to trouble you to pass a message to Ao Xuanwei and invite her to attend my true teaching ceremony."

"This time, there are five disciples in Xuandu Temple, including me, who are taking the True Transmission Assessment. After the other four return, the True Transmission Ceremony will be held in the temple."

Ao Han smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, that girl has been thinking about this matter all the time. She specifically told me to inform her in time when there is news. I will definitely not miss it."

"She came here very quickly from the Dragon Palace, so she won't be delayed."

"Yes." Zhou Qing said, "I am currently practicing in Shuiyue Peak. If she cannot contact me after she arrives, she can send a message to Shuiyue Peak."

Ao Han was not surprised by Zhou Qing's words. Yunjiang Dragon Palace was very clear about Zhou Qing's growth trajectory. They knew that with Lu Qingmo's relationship, he was naturally from the Shuiyue Peak lineage.

Thinking of this, Ao Han became more and more satisfied with Zhou Qing.

He has excellent talent, is now a disciple of Xuan Du, and has the support of Shuiyue Peak.

Okay, that's great.
