Perhaps it was the Soul-Breaking Realm that stood at the top of the state, or perhaps it was the Transcendent Realm that Xiao Ling had never seen in his life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling became more and more excited. Lu Tianjiao's cultivation at the peak of Yuanhai Realm was enough to shock her, but she didn't expect that Lu Tianjiao was hiding his cultivation level.

If he could follow Lu Tianjiao, he would be able to walk freely in not only the entire East Continent, but at least in the 19 states within a radius, and his path of cultivation would be smooth and unobstructed.

"Miss Xiao, since you need it, I'll give you these Phoenix-Restaurant-Phoenix-Tong branches."

Lu Tianjiao seemed unaware of Xiao Ling's thoughts, and reached out to hand the original spirit wood to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling was shocked when he saw this, and he kept declining, saying, "The Origin Spirit Wood is extremely precious. How can I accept such a valuable gift? Besides, isn't this what the senior left for you as a souvenir?"

"The Phoenix-Rest Wutong branches are useless to me. No matter how valuable they are, they are just a few pieces of wood. It would be great if they could be put to good use. At worst, I can just keep one as a souvenir."

Lu Tianjiao disagreed. To him who was practicing swordsmanship, these were just a few ordinary branches that contained some spirituality.

After Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, he took the Fengqi Wutong branch.

"Thank you, Brother Lu!"

"No need to thank me"

Before Lu Tianjiao finished speaking, Xiao Ling suddenly came over and kissed him on the face.

Lu Tianjiao suddenly froze in place, staring at Xiao Ling blankly.

"Brother Lu, come on, I'll take you to a good place."

Before Lu Tianjiao could come to his senses, Xiao Ling pulled him out of the store again.

Looking at the beautiful figure holding his hand in front of him, Lu Tianjiao's expression gradually calmed down.

He had never had any intimate contact with a woman in his life. Suddenly being so close to Xiao Ling, his heartbeat should have accelerated and he should have felt nervous, but he felt nothing at all and even had an inexplicable resistance.

Not long after, Xiao Ling took Lu Tianjiao to a river.

The scenery here is beautiful, and the sunset adds a touch of beauty to the river view.

Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Lu Tianjiao and asked with a smile: "Brother Lu, look, isn't this place beautiful?"

“Yes, it is indeed a beautiful scenery.”

Lu Tianjiao looked melancholy. He stood by the guardrail and looked at the beautiful scenery.

Xiao Ling smiled even more when he heard that, and turned around to look at the river view where the water and sky merged into one.

In order to ensure today's 'stroll' goes smoothly, she had been making plans last night and knew that this was the most beautiful place in the entire Fairy City.

The two of them quietly admired the sunset river view, speechless for a moment.

Soon, the sun gradually set. Xiao Ling sighed and murmured, "The setting sun shines on the flat sand at the river head, and the fishing boats lean against the shore as the tide recedes."

Lu Tianjiao beside him was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Xiao Ling could even recite a line of poetry.

At this time, Xiao Ling turned to look at Lu Tianjiao and suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, have you ever liked someone?"

"There are still people I like."

Lu Tianjiao looked reminiscent, and the first person he thought of was Nangong Rou.

That was the person he missed day and night, but unfortunately he could never get her love. Even Jiang Zhige hadn't seen Nangong Rou for more than a hundred years.

"Oh? Brother Lu, what do you think it feels like to like someone?"

Xiao Ling showed surprise. Although Lu Tianjiao had never had a confidante, it was obvious from his appearance that he had experienced a period of unrequited love.

Lu Tianjiao pondered for a moment and replied, "I can't say anything profound, but in my heart at that time, I could do anything for her."

It's funny to say that he attacked Jiang Zhige for this and lost his left arm.

"And then?"

"There was no later. Until the last moment, she didn't realize my feelings."

Lu Tianjiao smiled bitterly. At that time, Nangong Rou only had Jiang Zhige in her eyes. How could she notice the humble him?

Xiao Ling was even more surprised. Such an outstanding Lu Tianjiao loved someone so much that he would spare no effort to love her, but the other person never noticed his love?

"I'm very curious about what kind of woman could make you, Brother Lu, so obsessed with her."

Xiao Ling felt both emotion and envy in his heart, and turned back to continue looking at the river view.

Lu Tianjiao smiled helplessly. Even though more than a hundred years had passed, the impression that Nangong Rou left in his mind was still that of a perfect fairy.

At this point, both of them seemed to have no idea how to continue the topic and fell silent again.

Time passed by little by little, and the orange-red sunset slowly disappeared.

Just when Lu Tianjiao was about to ask to go back, Xiao Ling suddenly turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Lu, I like you."

Lu Tianjiao's expression froze and he turned to look at Xiao Ling in disbelief.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm serious. I like Brother Lu very much."

"But why?"

Lu Tianjiao's face was full of confusion. He really didn't know what about himself could be so attractive to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling raised his head and thought for a moment, then shook his head in distress and said, "I can't say anything profound. I know that I can't compare with the girl in Brother Lu's heart, but I just like Brother Lu."

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianjiao said nothing and lowered his head silently.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but laugh, waved his hand and said, "Brother Lu, I know this is sudden, you don't have to give me an answer right away, I just want to tell you my feelings."

"I'll give you an answer to this as soon as possible."

Lu Tianjiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Xiao Ling's confession was so sudden that he had no idea how to respond.

Xiao Ling was secretly delighted. Lu Tianjiao did not refuse immediately, which proved that she still had a chance.

Xiao Ling suppressed his joy, looked back at the river, and asked, "Brother Lu, do you know why the scenery here is so beautiful?"

"Well, because this place is full of spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and a special location where you can see the sunset?"

Lu Tianjiao was stunned. He had just arrived here and didn't quite understand the origin of the river view.

Xiao Ling shook his head and smiled, "No, the scenery is beautiful because there are people here to enjoy it. Otherwise, the river is just a river, the trees are just trees, and the sunset is just a sunset."

Lu Tianjiao looked a little dazed, and for a moment he was unable to react to the meaning of Xiao Ling's words.

Before he could come to his senses, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and shouted towards the setting sun: "Lu Tianjiao!!"

"I like you!"

The sound stirred up ripples on the sparkling river surface and echoed through the sunset clouds that dyed the sky red.

Lu Tianjiao was completely frozen in place, staring blankly at Xiao Ling.

At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his feelings.
