Chapter 232: Tsundere Xiaoli, Travel Together
After a while of lively conversation, the guys at that table paid their bills and left the teahouse.
It seemed that he wanted to hurry up so as not to miss the big show of Liuyun Sect.
After they left, people at the other two tables also started to pay their bills and leave.
Lu Qing glanced at their backs for a few times, with a thoughtful look on his face.
After finishing two pots of tea and eating all the steamed buns, Lu Qing and his companions rested for a long time. Only after the horses were full and rested enough did they continue their journey.
"Old Doctor Chen, I didn't expect that the Liuyun Sect would cause such a big incident."
In the carriage, Wei Zian said in surprise.
"Yes, I thought they should be extremely worried because their young master is missing, but I never thought they would use this as an excuse to intensify their exploitation and plundering of other small forces." Magu also sighed.
Only Lu Qing remained silent, looking thoughtful.
The old doctor noticed his expression and asked, "Ah Qing, what are you thinking about?"
“Master, I was thinking that the young master of Liuyun Sect clearly died in Qingfeng Town, and no other Liuyun Sect disciples escaped at that time.
Logically, Liuyun Sect should not have confirmed the death of their young sect leader so quickly. At most, they should have believed that he was missing.
But why has the news spread throughout Yunzhou now?" Lu Qing asked in confusion.
"That's right." Ma Gu also reacted. "We came from Qingfeng Town without delaying our trip. But from what those Jianghu people said just now, it seems that we just defeated the young master not long ago, and Liuyun Sect already knew about the death of their young master. It's indeed a bit strange."
Hearing this, Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
"A Qing, have you thought of anything?" the old doctor asked when he saw this.
"There is one thing. I think that Liuyun Sect must have some rare treasure that can determine the life or death of their young master in a short period of time. Otherwise, it is a bit hard to explain."
"Is there such a rare treasure in the world?" Ma Gu said in surprise, "According to the map given by Master Fang, the Liuyun Sect is a thousand miles away from Qingfeng Town!"
"There are all kinds of wonders in this world, and it's not like there are no such rare treasures. Just like the big tripod in Zi'an's family, before you saw it, could you have imagined that there were such magical things in the world?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Ma Gu thought of the strange cauldron he had seen in the Wei family's underground cave, and was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, before he saw the magical cauldron with his own eyes, he could not imagine that there was such an incredible treasure in the world.
The old doctor, on the other hand, did not question Lu Qing's words.
He knew that Lu Qing inherited the immortal cultivation tradition. Since he dared to say so, he obviously thought of what means Liuyun Sect used to confirm the death of the young sect leader.
The carriage returned to silence and Lu Qing fell into thought again.
Yes, he did have some guesses.
If Liuyun Sect really used means such as life tablets or soul tablets to confirm Mo Xuan's death, it means that someone in Liuyun Sect also obtained the immortal cultivation inheritance.
At least, he had obtained some immortal artifacts.
If this is the case, there might be some changes in their trip to Liuyun Sect this time.
However, even if there are changes, Lu Qing is not worried.
Not to mention that Master has not only achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, but has also become a Qi Refiner. The spiritual power in his body is increasing every day, and his strength is no less than that of a congenital master.
Speaking of himself, if he was really forced into a corner, he would break through directly and enter the innate realm.
By then, his cultivation had increased dramatically, and he had condensed the innate true qi. He also had two spiritual weapons, the Qiankun Yiqi Bag and the Earth Spirit Pearl.
His fighting power is probably even more exaggerated than that of his master, and he is not afraid of anyone at all.
By then, even if a real immortal cultivator appeared in Liuyun Sect, he would be confident that he could beat him so hard that he couldn't even find his teeth.
The carriage moved slowly and leisurely.
Knowing that the major sects in Yunzhou will march to Liuyun Sect to call for punishment in a few days, Lu Qing and his companions are not in a hurry to travel.
Anyway, at their speed, they will definitely be able to reach Liuyun Sect in three days.
You can also watch a big show for free, so why not?
By evening, the carriage stopped.
"Old doctor, it's getting dark. There is a dilapidated temple ahead. I think we will have to stay there tonight." Ma Gu said.
"Just park the car there." The old doctor nodded.
Anyway, most of them had been staying outdoors these days and had long been accustomed to it. They were lucky to have the shelter of a dilapidated temple.
Ma Gu drove the carriage and slowly approached the ruined temple.
After entering, I found that it was a small abandoned mountain temple.
and……
Lu Qing looked at the horses outside the temple and felt a little moved, as if someone had occupied this place before them.
The people in the temple heard the noise of the carriage and two of them came out to check. As soon as they saw each other in the face, people on both sides were stunned.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment and raised his eyebrows.
What a coincidence.
It turned out that the two people who came out were a young man and woman carrying long swords, and they had just met at noon.
They were guests from one of the other tables who were drinking tea and resting in the teahouse.
When Magu saw the young man and woman, he was also a little stunned.
But he quickly reacted and stepped forward and said politely, "Hello, young lady."
"Um, you're welcome. I've met a few of you. I didn't expect we'd meet here again."
The young man and woman also came to their senses at this time and spoke quickly.
Obviously he recognized Lu Qing and the others.
"Yes, meeting is fate. I wonder if there is any place in this temple where we can hide from the cold fog and morning dew?"
At this time, the old doctor came forward and said gently.
"Yes, yes. This temple looks small from the outside, but it's quite spacious inside. If you don't mind, you can squeeze in."
Seeing that the old doctor had a kind face and that Lu Qing and his companions did not look like bad people, the young couple relaxed their guard and spoke quickly.
"Thank you both very much."
After expressing his thanks, the old doctor took Lu Qing and the others, following the young couple into the temple, while Ma Gu went to park the carriage.
I saw that there was a small front yard inside. After crossing the yard, I reached the temple dedicated to the mountain god.
When I entered the hall, I saw three other people inside, a fat middle-aged man and two young men.
"Ping'er, who is outside?"
The fat middle-aged man asked casually when he saw the girl come in.
"Dad, it's Doctor Chen and his gang whom we met at the tea stall at 10 p.m. They just arrived here and seeing that it was getting late, they wanted to come in and spend the night." The girl replied.
"Doctor Chen?"
The fat middle-aged man looked at Lu Qing and the others.
The old doctor stepped forward and said politely, "My surname is Chen, and I'm a doctor. These are my disciples and servants. We were in a hurry to get here, so we didn't pay attention to our itinerary. It's getting dark today, so could you please let us stay here for the night?"
"Doctor Chen, you are too polite. This place is ownerless and anyone can live here. We just came a little earlier and are not the owner of this place, so how can we borrow your name? It's not easy to be away from home. If you don't mind, please squeeze in with us."
The fat middle-aged man also recognized the old doctor and others.
After all, there was something special about their group of people. Not only were there elderly people with gray hair and beards, but there were also children of a few years old. It was hard not to leave a deep impression on people.
"Thank you very much. I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My last name is Xu..."
While the old doctor was chatting with the fat middle-aged man, Lu Qing and Wei Zian went to find a place to clean up.
On the other side, the girl named Ping'er came to Xiaoyan and looked at Xiaoli in her arms with curiosity.
"Little sister, what are you holding?"
"Hello, sister." Xiaoyan called sweetly, "Its name is Xiaoli, and it's my best friend."
"Xiao Li?" The girl looked at Xiao Li with narrowed eyes. The more she looked at him, the more she liked him. "He's so cute. Can I touch him?"
"You have to ask Xiaoli." Xiaoyan looked down at Xiaoli.
Xiao Li opened his eyes, glanced at the girl, then turned his head to the other side and continued to doze off.
The two little guys have been together day and night and have already understood each other's minds.
When Xiaoyan saw it, she immediately understood what Xiaoli meant.
I could only say in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, sister, Xiaoli doesn't like being touched by strangers."
"Oh, so that's it." The girl also saw Xiao Li's actions and was a little disappointed.
But her attention was soon drawn to another matter.
"Little sister, you just said you wanted to ask it. Can this little beast understand what you are saying?"
"Yes, Xiaoli is very powerful. It can understand what we say." Xiaoyan said proudly.
When the girl heard this, she was even more surprised at Xiao Li.
But when she saw Xiao Li's aloof look, she felt depressed again.
She rolled her eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Little sister, do you know what Xiaoli likes to eat?"
"Xiao Li likes to eat fish!" Xiao Yan said without thinking.
"You like fish?"
When the girl heard this, she immediately became distressed.
They had everything in their bags except fish.
After all, fish has a strong fishy smell, and no one would carry fish in their luggage when traveling without any reason.
"Besides fish, Xiaoli, do you like to eat dried meat? I have a lot of dried meat in my bag." The girl asked hopefully.
However, Xiaoyan shook her head: "I don't really like it. Xiaoli likes fish the most and rarely eats dried meat."
"What about the dry food..."
Wei Zian, who was cleaning, felt secretly amused when he saw the girl trying every possible way to please Xiao Li.
Xiao Li is a very arrogant guy.
Apart from Xiaoyan and Lu Qing, he had never seen it get close to anyone.
No matter who they are, they are indifferent.
Even if it is Doctor Chen, it rarely approaches him on its own initiative.
Just like his mother, in the past two years, she has tried every possible way to build a good relationship with Xiao Li.
As a result, Yu had no idea how much he had bribed Xiao Li, but the number of times he was able to hold Xiao Li was very few and far between.
It was simply wishful thinking for this girl to win Xiao Li's favor with just a little food.
Sure enough, in the following time, no matter what method the girl used, she could not get close to Xiao Li.
Even if she took out her favorite cakes from her treasured collection, she couldn't get Xiao Li to open his eyes.
Instead, Xiaoyan got the chance to eat several delicious pastries.
Later, Xiao Li felt that this woman was too annoying, so he simply jumped out of Xiao Yan's arms, jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulders, and hid in his arms.
All of a sudden, the girl was completely at a loss and could only feel depressed.
After all, there are differences between men and women. As a woman, she dare not get entangled with a strange man.
This scene naturally caught the eyes of the old doctor and the fat middle-aged man.
"Doctor Chen, your little beast is quite human. It was my fault for being rude." said the chubby middle-aged man.
"It's okay. Xiaoli's personality is a little weird. Usually, except for Aqing and Xiaoyan, he rarely gets close to us. I hope Miss Xu doesn't mind." The old doctor said with a smile.
"I see. This little animal has quite a personality." The chubby middle-aged man suddenly realized.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, I heard from you before that you are going to Liuyun Sect this time?" asked the old doctor.
"Yes, Doctor Chen should have heard it at the teahouse at noon. Something big is about to happen in Liuyun Sect. I am here to bring my disciples out to travel and gain more knowledge. How can we miss such a grand event?"
"But didn't those few Jianghu people at noon also say that Liuyun Sect has always been tyrannical and overbearing? Mr. Xu, are you not afraid of danger when you go there this time?"
"Haha, the Liuyun Sect is now about to be jointly attacked by many sects in Yunzhou. I'm afraid they can't even protect themselves, so how can they care about idle people like us? Besides, although I am not talented, I still have some ability to protect my disciples." The fat middle-aged man laughed.
"Mr. Xu is amazing." The old doctor couldn't help but praise.
"By the way, Doctor Chen, where are you going this time?" asked the fat middle-aged man.
"We originally wanted to travel to the territory controlled by Liuyun Sect, but after hearing what those Jianghu travelers said at noon, we felt a little embarrassed.
The whirlpool of the storm that Liuyun Sect is about to hit Yunzhou, if we go there now, we might get sucked in if we are not careful." The old doctor hesitated.
"I was wondering what it was. It's not a big deal." The chubby middle-aged man said with a smile, "Doctor Chen, since you are also traveling, you should not miss this good show. This time, most of the sects in Yunzhou will show up. It would be a pity if you miss it."
"But……"
"No buts. It's rare that we get along so well. Doctor Chen, if you are worried about your safety on the road, why don't you set out with us tomorrow so that you can have someone to take care of you on the way. With us here, ordinary villains will never be able to do anything to you!" said the chubby middle-aged man cheerfully.
The old doctor saw the calmness on the chubby middle-aged man's face, hesitated for a moment, and nodded, saying, "In that case, my master and I will shamelessly take advantage of Mr. Xu's kindness."
"Don't be so polite, it's settled then!"
The girl nearby heard their conversation and was pleasantly surprised.
If they were to travel together tomorrow, wouldn't she have more time to get closer to Xiao Li?
Thinking of this, the girl immediately went to find Xiaoyan, wanting to find out more about Xiaoli's preferences from her.
Lu Qing was a little surprised to learn that his master had decided to set off with the fat middle-aged man and others tomorrow.
However, he did not ask anything, but continued to work on his work and prepare dinner for everyone.
Not long after, a rich fragrance began to emerge and slowly filled the entire mountain temple.
