To Hua Shi, although Lu Yao is a senior of almost the same generation as Xuan Shuzhi and the others, they are completely different.
When he first met the seniors, they were already mature and reliable. Although there were some who looked immature, such as Yi Zhan, they were actually very reliable. Therefore, in Hua Shi's eyes, these seniors were all people he respected and admired, and he was always respectful and polite to them.
But Lu Yao and Ji Yuan are different from others.
Because before Hua Shi could fully get to know these two people and had a general impression of them in his mind, he had seen the appearance of these two people in the illusion of Huiguangzhu.
For example, there was the young man Lu Yao who wore black clothes and for some reason refused to comb his hair properly. He even deliberately left two strands to cover his eyes and liked to make a ferocious look.
Another example is the impulsive and irritable young man Ji Yuan, who is like a spoiled brat and always tries to gain a sense of presence in front of Liu Qishuang.
Perhaps it was because the youthful features of these two people were too obvious and their images were too deeply rooted in people's minds, so even though Hua Shi had come into contact with Ji Yuan and Lu Yao, who looked like elders, several times later, he still couldn't get used to their later appearance. When mentioning the two of them, the first image that came to his mind was still their appearance when they were teenagers.
This also led to the fact that when Hua Shi heard their names, he was unable to treat them as elders like his own master. What's worse, he still couldn't face these two people with a normal heart.
Especially now that Liu Qishuang is back.
He still remembered that in the original illusion, Ji Yuan always followed Liu Qishuang like a little follower.
And Lu Yao had also entered Liu Qishuang's room before. Regardless of whether he wanted to assassinate Liu Qishuang or had other purposes, Hua Shi felt that it was worth it for him to make him the number one target of vigilance.
So when Hua Shi heard Xuan Shuzhi mention Lu Yao's arrival, he almost immediately hugged the white cat tightly in his arms and asked cautiously, "Why is Senior Lu Yao here?"
Xuan Shuzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Fang Wei who was held in Hua Shi's arms, as if he was trying to hold back a laugh: "He came to talk to us, and by the way, he wanted to take a look... well, take a look at this Yunxiu Pen space."
Naturally, what Lu Yao wanted to see was not the space, but Xuan Shuzhi did not say it in front of Hua Shi.
Fang Wei was very clear about Lu Yao's purpose. In fact, even if he didn't come here, Fang Wei planned to let Xuan Shuzhi notify him to come here. After all, anything related to the evil way must be related to Lu Yao.
Hua Shi held her too tightly, as if he was afraid that a cat dealer would kidnap his cat. Fang Wei struggled to get out of his arms, and then nodded gently to Xuan Shuzhi from an angle where Hua Shi couldn't see.
Xuan Shuzhi understood what Fang Wei meant, raised his head and asked Hua Shi with a half-smile, "Why do you look like this? I remember when you first entered the sect, Lu Yao gave you a token from Fengyu Palace. Why do you look like you don't welcome him to come?"
Hua Shi knew that his hostility was unreasonable, and it was true that Lu Yao treated him well. If he cared too much, it would seem like he was throwing a tantrum like a child.
So in the end, he nodded helplessly and agreed to bring Lu Yao into the space.
Because the space has a time limit, after they come out of the Yunxiu Pen space, they have to wait another day before they can enter.
The time of day was just right for Hua Shi to meet Lu Yao who had come from afar.
After leaving the Yunxiu Pen space, Fang Wei was unable to maintain his form and once again turned into a golden ball of light and returned to Hua Shi's soul.
Xuan Shuzhi left early and waited outside. Hua Shi stood in the room thinking about the scene of the light ball turning twice and returning to his body. He couldn't help but smile, but after a moment, he seemed to blush and asked the system in a low voice: "Does this count as... entering my body?"
Fang Wei immediately responded: "If you must say so, the correct statement should be that I live in your soul."
Hearing Fang Wei's calm words, Hua Shi's previous thoughts were mostly scattered. He was stunned for a moment before responding, "Oh."
Fang Wei asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Shi quickly shook his head: "No, nothing."
Fang Wei found his expression slightly amusing, but did not say anything.
Xuan Shuzhi urged him from outside, and Hua Shi quickly followed Xuan Shuzhi to Lingge.
Lu Yao had been waiting in the hall on the second floor of Ling Pavilion. After not seeing him for a long time, he seemed to have changed a lot. The last time Hua Shi saw Lu Yao in Tianqing City, he was still a drunk with a wine jug in hand and a stubble on his face. But now, he had shaved his beard cleanly without knowing when. His clothes were no longer shabby as before. He changed into a neat black suit. He no longer looked like a middle-aged uncle. Instead, he looked more energetic than Hua Shi, who was tired from practicing martial arts.
Hua Shi was stunned by Lu Yao's appearance. After a while, he said to the system in his mind: "Is he dressed like this to go outing somewhere?"
Fang Wei: “…”
He could tell that Lu Yao had come here specially dressed, but he didn't expect that Lu Yao, who usually didn't care about his image, would be so nervous.
It seems like we haven't seen each other for a long time.
Fang Wei then turned his attention to the conversation in the room. At this time, Hua Shi and Lu Yao had already greeted each other. Lu Yao stared at Hua Shi deeply, as if he was afraid that his attitude would scare Hua Shi. He deliberately lowered his voice and asked about Hua Shi's recent situation and his cultivation.
During the conversation, he also praised Hua Shi's performance in Yuanhu some time ago.
However, this person really didn't seem like someone who would speak gently. Hua Shi felt the same awkwardness and discomfort as when he heard Ji Yuan caring about him as he did when he heard Ji Yuan caring about him. He suspected that the other person had taken the wrong medicine or was possessed by some kind of demon, which was why he spoke to people in this voice.
The two chatted for a while, with Lu Yao mostly asking questions and Hua Shi responding. When they had asked all the questions they could, a strange silence fell between them.
Hua Shi sat down and stared at Lu Yao, asking the system in confusion, "What exactly does Senior Lu Yao want to tell me? Why does he ask so many questions but refuses to get to the point? Is he here to scare me to death?"
Fang Wei was helpless: "...No, he just wanted to talk but couldn't find a topic."
He could see that Lu Yao wanted to have a good relationship with Hua Shi, but unfortunately Lu Yao was not a good talker, let alone the kind of person who cared about others. He had probably reached his limit after saying so many words.
It's a pity that not only did he fail to make any progress in his relationship with Hua Shi, but he also scared the guy instead.
Fang Wei's guess was indeed correct. Knowing that Fang Wei was by Hua Shi's side, and because he was the only one who could save Fang Wei from the abyss of disaster, Lu Yao made full preparations this time and tried to get closer to Hua Shi so that he could continue with the next plan in the future. However, he did not have much talent in this area, so he soon fell silent.
In the end, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Xuan Shuzhi, trying to ask Xuan Shuzhi for help.
Xuan Shuzhi rarely saw him looking so clumsy, and had no intention of offering to help. He just raised his eyebrows and asked him to keep trying.
After a long silence, just when Hua Shi was about to get up and leave, Lu Yao finally raised his eyes and looked at Hua Shi again. He coughed lightly and said, "I heard that Yi Zhan and the others have been guiding you in your practice recently."
Hua Shi immediately stopped what he was doing and blinked, "Ah?"
Lu Yao clenched his fist and said, "I can also guide you in your practice, and the effect will be no worse than Yi Zhan and the others."
Hua Shi looked at Lu Yao with a confused face. Before he could say no, Lu Yao stood up and said, "Come and fight with me."
Hua Shi: "Wait..."
Unfortunately, Lu Yao was not joking. Before he could finish his words, he had already taken Hua Shi to the training ground. Then, probably to show his seriousness and determination in coaching Hua Shi, Lu Yao showed no mercy during the fight. The fight lasted for two hours. At the end, Hua Shi leaned against the wall with a swollen nose and face, gasping for breath, and said that he could not move anymore. Lu Yao finally stopped and nodded and commented with a serious face: "The moves are good, but the foundation is not good enough for the time being."
Hua Shi was no longer able to speak.
With a bitter face, he asked the system in his mind: "What did I say to offend this person? Did he come to Xuanling Pavilion just to kill me?"
Fang Wei: “…”
Although he knew that Lu Yao's purpose was not this, he was unable to explain for the other party at this time.
Just let these guys make some noise.
Lu Yao was originally planning to talk to Lu Yao, but Hua Shi was frightened by Lu Yao. After saying that he wanted to go back to rest, he shrank in his room and refused to see Lu Yao again. Lu Yao had no choice but to meet Yi Zhan, Wen Zhong, Bai Heng and others who also lived in Xuanling Pavilion. It was not until the time for the Yunxiu Pen to be used was up that Xuan Shuzhi brought Lu Yao to Hua Shi's residence again, ready to enter the space of the Yunxiu Pen together.
After finally getting better from yesterday's injuries, Hua Shi saw Lu Yao again and felt the pain in the places where he had been beaten begin to ache again.
When Lu Yao saw Hua Shi, he looked him up and down and said, "It seems that you have recovered well, perhaps..."
"Senior Lu Yao!" Hua Shi was tense and hurriedly stopped the other party before he could say "guidance" on the next practice. He took the initiative to say: "Let's go into the Yunxiu Pen space and take a look."
Although he didn't know why Lu Yao wanted to go to the Yunxiu Pen Space, judging from the fact that each of the predecessors he had "collected" liked to go into the space when they had nothing to do, it seemed that there must be something in this space that attracted them.
Hua Shi said this, and quickly took out the Yunxiu pen, and sent his and Lu Yaoxuan's letter into the space.
The scenery inside the Yunxiu Pen has not changed in several months. It was daytime before entering the Yunxiu Pen, but it became a starry night once inside.
After entering, Fang Wei skillfully controlled his spiritual consciousness to float out of Hua Shi's soul, and then golden light bloomed, and he appeared in front of everyone in the form of a white cat.
Lu Yao's eyes were fixed on Fang Wei. From the moment the golden light floated out, his eyes followed the light all the time until he saw the white cat. He could recognize that it was Fang Wei.
Xuan Shuzhi looked at Lu Yao staring at the cat in a trance, patted his shoulder and said, "Now that you have seen it, how do you feel?"
As he said this, he turned his head and said to Hua Shi: "Take Senior Lu Yao for a walk around?"
Hua Shi nodded, leaned over naturally and picked up the white cat, rubbed the cat's ears, and stroked the cat's tail tied with a bow before saying, "Senior Lu Yao, please follow me."
As he said this, he noticed that Lu Yao behind him did not keep up with him.
Hua Shi was puzzled and asked: "Senior Lu Yao, you..."
He turned around to look at Lu Yao again, and then he couldn't help but change his expression and stepped back: "Senior, what's wrong with you! Senior, calm down and put your weapon down first!"
