Upon seeing Liang Qiuyuan, the senior and junior disciples roughly guessed what it was about, and their expressions remained unchanged.
He first respectfully cupped his hands to Pei Anlan and said, "Greetings, senior," before turning to Liang Qiuyuan and greeting him, "Friendly fellow Daoist Liang Qiu."
Liang Qiuyuan had come specifically for the sweet potatoes, and when she greeted him, he couldn't wait to speak before she finished.
"Fellow Daoist Shu, you must know why I've come. What are your thoughts?"
As expected, the question was about the previous matter. Shushu and Luli exchanged a glance, and then looked at Pei Anlan, waiting for his opinion. They had mentioned this matter to him before, and he said he would ask about it.
Pei Anlan was not surprised by the gazes of her senior and junior siblings. She nodded almost imperceptibly but did not say anything more.
Seeing his reaction, Shushu understood that it meant there was no problem. After thinking for a moment, he finally agreed: "Okay, my senior brother and I will go with you."
Liang Qiuyuan was not a slow-witted person, and he naturally saw what the others were doing. Through Pei Anlan, they asked him to help oversee and vouch for them, so that Shushu Luli could feel at ease.
However, he was very happy to hear Shushu agree, and couldn't help but be a little eager: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Shushu. When would be a convenient time for you to set off?"
After saying that, probably to reassure Shushu, he made repeated promises in front of the three of them.
"Rest assured, my Liangqiu family guarantees that we will do everything in our power to protect you both and will absolutely not leak any information about you."
Cultivators value oaths, and breaking them can easily lead to inner demons. Since the other party is so sincere, Shushu naturally won't play coy and replied with a smile, "Anytime is fine."
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiuyuan's smile became even brighter: "Would it be convenient for you to depart in two days?"
Millet: "Okay."
And so the matter was settled. Afterwards, in front of the three of them, Liang Qiuyuan made an appointment with Shushu for a specific time, as well as the place they were going to and the route they would take, before taking his leave.
Only after everyone had gone far away did Pei Anlan restart the barrier and carefully look at Shushu and Lu Li, giving them instructions.
"Although the Liangqiu family has good family traditions and character, one should always be wary of others. When you are out and about, you should always be careful."
At this point, as if remembering something, he took out two more communication jade tokens and handed them to the two people respectively.
"This is my communication jade tablet. I will not be leaving the Eastern Long Realm for the time being. If anything happens, you can contact me at any time."
Seeing that his fellow disciples had accepted the jade tokens and put them away properly, Pei Anlan also left them each a Daoist protective talisman and two storage bags of things that he had prepared in advance.
He then told them some taboos of the Eastern Long Border and precautions for traveling outside before letting his fellow disciples leave, and he himself threw himself back into his busy work.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the agreed-upon day arrived.
Shushu and Luli got up early and bid farewell to the three Dong Hong siblings, who were reluctant to part with them, as well as the spirit beast cubs except for Xuanjing the little white tiger.
With Tian Chen squatting on his left shoulder and Bai Yue squatting on his right, and Xuan Jing above their heads, with the Yao Guang Cauldron and Wen Tian Seal floating on either side, they walked very stylishly side by side toward the coast with Lu Li.
Fortunately, this area belongs to the Lingxin Academy, and everyone is busy, with most of the people from various factions having already left.
Otherwise, Shushu's star-studded outing would definitely have attracted a huge crowd.
Even so, when Shushu arrived at the coast, she still caused a small sensation, and the Liangqiu family members stared at her in disbelief.
Even Liang Qiuyuan, who had been waiting there for a long time, was so shocked when he saw Shushu walking over that he opened his mouth wide and stared at him with a somewhat unfocused look.
Only when Shushu stood in front of him did he manage to regain his composure and greet him with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Shu, Fellow Daoist Lu, you've arrived."
Seeing that although he was greeting him, his eyes kept glancing at the animals around him, his face full of undisguised curiosity, Shushu felt a little embarrassed.
However, in the end, Shushu stubbornly held on, enduring his astonished gaze, and boarded the Liangqiu family's ship in this very form.
Everyone they encountered along the way would give them a curious look. At first, Shushu felt uneasy, but later he became calm and composed, letting everyone look at him as they pleased.
Fortunately, those chosen by Liang Qiuyuan for the trip were not short-sighted individuals, and the fact that the two artifacts and the two cultivators were on good terms was already common knowledge.
Therefore, while everyone's gazes were filled with undisguised curiosity, they lacked the greed and covetousness that both Shushu and Luli disliked, and the two were quite satisfied.
Actually, even if someone covets it, the senior and junior disciples are not afraid; they can simply deal with it when the time comes.
After all, they are no longer the helpless people they were when they first arrived in Donglongjie.
Most importantly, Shushu couldn't bear to lock these little friends, who had just been freed and were exploring the outside world with great curiosity, back into the space.
Okay, getting back to the present, Shushu and Luli, led by Liang Qiuyuan, did not linger downstairs and went straight to the top floor of the spirit ship.
This floor has only five rooms and a reception room. Besides the three of them, the remaining two rooms are occupied by Liang Qiuying, who is in the early stage of the Fusion Realm, and Liang Qiuji, who is in the late stage of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Liang Qiuying is Liang Qiuyuan's aunt and a direct descendant of the Liangqiu family; Liang Qiuji, though from a collateral branch, serves as an elder in the Liangqiu family.
Both of them are solid backers of the Liangqiu family and absolutely trustworthy people, and they are also the main fighting force on this journey to find the spiritual plant.
Liang Qiuyuan is the young master of the Liangqiu family, and the fact that Shushu Luli was placed on this floor shows how much the Liangqiu family values them.
This alone shows just how important the spiritual plant they were looking for was to the Liangqiu family.
For some reason, because of this arrangement, Shushu felt a little nervous, worried that he wouldn't be able to find the spiritual plant.
Lu Li, who was standing nearby, was more perceptive. He noticed that Shushu's expression was off, and after a moment's thought, he understood what she was worried about.
He subtly took her hand, silently telling Shushu that he was there for her and not to worry.
Having spent so much time together, how could Shushu not understand what he meant? She was instantly comforted. Yes, there was still her senior brother there.
The tension that had just begun to creep into her heart vanished in an instant, and Shushu returned to its previous state, but she did not break free from Lu Li's grasp.
Liang Qiuyuan, who was leading the way, was puzzled as to why the two disciples had suddenly started holding hands. He wondered for a while but couldn't get an answer, and he was too embarrassed to ask.
So he could only pretend not to see them, first taking his fellow students to see the rooms arranged for them, and then leading them to the reception room.
As soon as they opened the door, they saw that in addition to Liang Qiuying and Liang Qiuji, whom they were visiting, Pei Anlan was also there.
