Chapter 162 Huo Qing
Feng Qingjie.
Above the azure sky, a spirit boat was flying. On this spirit boat stood two young and beautiful women. One was dressed in white, the other in red. They were Han Wei and Xu Lingyue.
"Weiwei, have you been to Fengqing Realm before?" Xu Lingyue asked Han Wei.
Han Wei nodded: "I've been here before, but I didn't stay long."
Actually, Han Wei had never been here before; she had been here in her past life.
"Have you been here before?" Xu Lingyue asked with a smile.
Han Wei shook her head: "I've never been here before. Is the Huan Shan mountain range just ahead?"
Xu Lingyue nodded and said with a smile, "When we get to the sect, I'll introduce you to my master and my senior brothers."
A short while later, magical formations and restrictions appeared ahead; these were defensive arrays set up by the people of Huanshan Tower. Xu Lingyue and Han Wei approached this place in their spirit boat, and streams of divine senses came toward them. When they saw Xu Lingyue on the spirit boat, several long rainbows flew toward them.
"Grandmaster Xu, Grandmaster Xu is back."
"Greetings, Grandmaster Xu!"
Several Qi Refining stage disciples bowed to Xu Lingyue. After paying their respects to Xu Lingyue, they couldn't help but glance at Han Wei. However, when they realized that Han Wei's cultivation level was beyond their comprehension, they understood that she might be a Mahayana stage cultivator like their grandmaster Xu, and immediately looked away, no longer daring to look.
Xu Lingyue nodded, then piloted the spirit boat through the restrictive array and flew deep into the Huan Shan mountain range. Once inside, Xu Lingyue smiled and introduced the various scenic spots to Han Wei beside her:
"Look over there, that's the Alchemy Peak where we refine medicine. That's where my martial uncle, True Person Hongxia, lives. And over there is the martial arts arena. See? The tallest tower on that mountain is the library..."
"Where is your cave dwelling?" Han Wei asked her. Actually, Han Wei knew; she had been there in her previous life.
"I live at Xiaoyue Peak," Xu Lingyue said with a smile.
The spirit boat passed through mountain peaks when suddenly several figures flew in front of it, led by a handsome man dressed in purple. Beside him was a young woman in light green, and several other people followed behind.
The handsome man in purple was at the late Mahayana stage, while the young woman beside him and the several people behind him were all at the Integration stage. They all stopped when they saw Xu Lingyue and Han Wei on the spirit boat.
The spirit boat also came to a stop.
"Senior Brother," Xu Lingyue said softly, looking at the handsome man in purple.
The handsome man in purple was none other than Huo Qing, Xu Lingyue's senior brother, and the woman in light green next to Huo Qing was his cousin, Liu Ruyan.
Huo Qing frowned as soon as he saw Xu Lingyue: "You've finally decided to come back. Where have you been all these years?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Lingyue lowered her head, looking as if she had done something wrong.
Xu Lingyue had a fight with Huo Qingsheng, which is why she left a note in a fit of anger saying that she was going to go out and gain experience for a few years.
She hadn't intended to go far, but she found that Huo Qing hadn't come looking for her after she left, so she simply left the Fengqing Realm. Later, she heard about the Chess Saint Palace and went to Panlong Mountain in the Xuanqing Realm to join in the fun, which is how she met Han Wei.
Fifty years have passed since Xu Lingyue stormed off in a huff and returned.
As they were talking, Huo Qing was surprised to find that Xu Lingyue was already in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm: "You, you're already in the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm?"
Upon hearing Huo Qing's words, Liu Ruyan and the several Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind her stared at Xu Lingyue in shock. She was already at the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm?
How... how is this possible?
In just fifty years, he actually advanced a minor realm. The further one progresses in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. At the Mahayana stage, unless one has a great opportunity, even cultivating for a hundred thousand years would be difficult to advance a minor realm.
Xu Lingyue had improved so much in just fifty years, which shocked them. It seemed that she must have had some extraordinary encounters during those fifty years.
Xu Lingyue was quite proud of her improved cultivation. She raised her head and puffed out her chest: "It was just luck."
Huo Qing's expression shifted several times as he looked at Han Wei beside Xu Lingyue. He had noticed this stunningly beautiful unfamiliar female cultivator from the very beginning. Han Wei's appearance and demeanor were so captivating that it was impossible to ignore her; Huo Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the others had all noticed her long ago.
Han Wei is currently concealing her cultivation level, suppressing her strength to the late Mahayana stage.
Huo Qing looked at Han Wei and cupped his hands in greeting: "I am Huo Qing, the eldest disciple of the Lord of Huanshan Tower, and Lingyue's senior brother. May I ask how this fairy is addressed?"
Han Wei returned the greeting: "Han Wei, a rogue cultivator from the Void Spirit Realm."
"Han Wei, you're Han Wei? The Han Wei who defeated the Palace Master of the Chess Saint Palace?" Liu Ruyan exclaimed in surprise. Huo Qing and the others also showed shock when they heard Han Wei's name.
The news of Han Wei's victory over the Palace Master of the Chess Saint Palace has already spread far and wide, even reaching the Fengqing Realm. However, Huo Qing and the others are unaware that Xu Lingyue went to Panlong Mountain and has been cultivating there for ten years.
Han Wei smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Exactly."
Huo Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the others all looked at Han Wei with changed expressions. They never expected that the famous figure who was currently making headlines would actually appear in front of them.
"I've heard so much about Fairy Han, I never expected to meet her here," Huo Qing said politely to Han Wei. "May I ask how Fairy Han came to know my junior sister?"
Han Wei glanced at Xu Lingyue but remained silent. She had never liked Huo Qing, nor his cousin Liu Ruyan. In her past life, she had even considered killing Huo Qing to make him pay with his life for Xu Lingyue. His father had killed Liu Ruyan, and though he dared not defy his father, he vented all his resentment on Xu Lingyue. This man was incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, and Han Wei loathed him.
Liu Ruyan noticed that Huo Qing's tone of voice when speaking to Han Wei was different from his tone when speaking to others, and her expression changed slightly.
Xu Lingyue, who was standing nearby, said, "Senior Brother, are we going to chat here?"
Huo Qing immediately laughed and said, "Look, I've forgotten to entertain my guests, and I've actually stopped them from talking on the way. Fairy Han, please don't be offended! Please don't be offended! Why don't we go to the pavilion on Little Bamboo Peak ahead and have a detailed chat?"
Xu Lingyue said, "Then why don't we go to my cave? I was just about to take Weiwei there."
Weiwei? Why are you calling her so intimately?
Because of the way Xu Lingyue was addressed, Huo Qing and the others' eyes flickered a few times. Xu Lingyue's suggestion was fine, so no one would object.
So everyone went together to Xiaoyue Peak, where Xu Lingyue lived.
————
Inside the cave, Xu Lingyue, Han Wei, Huo Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the others were all seated. Xu Lingyue, as the hostess, personally picked spiritual tea from Xiaoyue Peak to entertain them.
"Come and try this tea. I planted the tea trees myself. Weiwei, try it and see if it suits your taste," Xu Lingyue said with a smile to Han Wei.
Han Wei picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised, "This tea is very good."
"If you like, I'll give you a few pounds of tea," Xu Lingyue said with a smile.
