The two of them walked to a stone table not far away and sat down. At this moment, Xu Fengzhi's guard came from a distance and brought him a jade slip. After Xu Fengzhi read the information on the jade slip with his divine sense, his expression became solemn. He waved his hand to let the guard leave.
After the guard left, he looked at A Yao and said, "A Yao, there's something going on at the Divine Dream Sect, I have to go back."
Ayao said, "Okay."
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Xu Fengzhi felt quite frustrated: "Don't you feel even a little bit reluctant?"
Ayao said, "No."
Xu Fengzhi: "..."
Seeing the exaggerated expression of sadness on his handsome face, A Yao couldn't help but smile slightly. Xu Fengzhi stared at her beautiful face with a gentle, rippling smile, and was once again lost in thought.
He stared at Ayao for a long while before saying, "I'll go back and take care of some things. I'll come find you when I'm done."
Ayao asked him, "When are you leaving?"
Xu Fengzhi said, "Wait a moment, I'll be leaving."
Ayao nodded after hearing this.
What kind of gift do you like?
"ah?"
"I'll bring you some next time I come."
"Need not."
"Then, is there anything you need me to do?" Xu Fengzhi asked.
Ayao looked up at the sky and pondered for a moment. With a wave of her hand, a scroll appeared in front of Xu Fengzhi. She said, "Help me find these strange beasts. If you find any trace of them, let me know."
Xu Fengzhi picked up the scroll and looked at it. It depicted more than ten kinds of strange beasts, all of them birds. He only recognized about half of them: "Firebird, Ghost Sparrow, Three Bluebird..."
Are you here to hunt these monsters?
"Not necessarily. Anyway, if you find any trace of them, just let me know. You don't need to do anything else," Ayao said.
Xu Fengzhi nodded: "Okay, I understand."
He put the scroll into his storage bag.
Looking at his handsome features, Ayao said, "I won't let you help me for nothing, here you go."
Ayao raised her hand, and a light condensed in her palm, forming a small silver spear that shrank to the size of an arrow, wreathed in azure lightning.
The swirling lightning was the Taiqing Divine Lightning. Previously, A Yao had only infused a wisp of Taiqing Divine Lightning into the spear, but now she had infused half of the Taiqing Divine Lightning she possessed into it.
"For such a small thing, you're giving me a benefit?" Xu Fengzhi felt that she was really distancing herself from him, and his sense of frustration returned.
"Even without your life-saving grace, we'd still be friends, right? Why be so distant?" Xu Fengzhi sighed.
Ayao said with a smile, "Even close brothers have to keep clear accounts. If you don't accept it, I won't dare ask you to do anything."
Xu Fengzhi looked at the small silver spear that she was playing with in her fair, jade-like fingers, with cyan lightning dancing on it. He said, "The Taiqing Divine Thunder is a rare treasure. What you asked me to do is just a small matter. For such a small matter, you're giving me the Taiqing Divine Thunder. Aren't you losing out big time?"
"Do you want it or not?" Ayao raised an eyebrow.
Seeing her gaze suddenly sharpen, Xu Fengzhi took the shrunken silver spear from her hand and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
He put the silver spear imbued with the Taiqing Divine Thunder into his storage bag, then stood up and handed something to A Yao:
"Ah Yao, this is for you!"
Ayao looked down and saw that it was a token with Xu Fengzhi's name written on it.
"If you want to find me, take this token to the Divine Dream Sect."
Xu Fengzhi said.
Ayao looked into his eyes and nodded.
"Then, then I'll be going." Xu Fengzhi looked at A Yao with reluctance.
Ayao said, "Okay."
Her tone remained largely emotionless, and Xu Fengzhi left in frustration. After Xu Fengzhi left, Yingxiu Peak didn't become peaceful. Besides Lu Yunshen, her cousins also started visiting. Annoyed, Ayao simply announced she was going into seclusion again. She activated the protective array around the peak and focused entirely on cultivating on Yingxiu Peak.
Not long after Xu Fengzhi left, A Yao's Golden Jade Cicada hatched.
The Golden Jade Cicada was about the same size as an ordinary cicada, but its wings were half transparent and half golden, and its body was like white jade. Eight Golden Jade Cicadas flew around A Yao. A Yao picked some spiritual herbs to feed them and secretly planned to make them grow faster so that they could mate and lay eggs.
Not long after Xu Fengzhi left the Lu family, the entire cultivation world of the Southern Region knew that the seventh young lady of the Kunshan Lu family had been found. This seventh young lady was not only stunningly beautiful but also an unparalleled genius. Suddenly, everyone had something to talk about, and all the major sects and forces were discussing it.
In a certain sect, several cultivators gathered in a pavilion.
Is that Miss Lu really that beautiful?
"Really, if she weren't an absolute beauty, how could she have captivated the young master of the Divine Dream Sect? I heard from the people of the Divine Dream Sect that if the young master's parents hadn't been in seclusion, they might have immediately gone to the Lu family to propose marriage."
In a teahouse in a certain cultivation city, several cultivators were drinking.
"That seventh young lady, she's not even nineteen years old, yet she's already at the late stage of the Golden Core realm. What's even more terrifying is that she's actually comprehended the essence of the realm."
"My God, what kind of monster is this?"
"This is probably unprecedented and will likely never be repeated."
"The feng shui of the Lu family in Kunshan is too good. The head of the Lu family is really enviable. He has so many descendants of a late-stage Void Refinement cultivator, and they are all geniuses."
