Chapter 587 – Meeting Old Friends

Xu Qi’an had always been a steady person, his mind spinning with thoughts and his mouth not delaying, he asked in a deep voice:

“Master of the Kingdom, do you love me?”

Luo Yu Heng covered her mouth and laughed lightly, softly saying in an affectionate voice:

“Mr. Xu, we’ve been practicing dual cultivation for many days now, so we’re Dao couples. If I didn’t love you, I wouldn’t have practiced with you.”

The social death of the state master is serious again ……… Xu Qi an s heart is heavy, and the surface has a deep feeling, said:

“Chu Yuanzhuan and Master Hengyuan are here, they are both my friends, I’ll go out to greet them.”

Luo Yuheng said, “I’ll go with you.”

When he said that, he lifted the quilt, and the spring light on his chest was revealed.

“No need; if you go, how will you let them be normal?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yu Heng didn’t force herself to do so, smilingly glancing at him and not saying anything.

Xu Qi’an had no reason to feel weak in his heart, and quickly dressed up, left the room, and arrived at the inn’s lobby.

It was already past dawn, the sky was gray, the lobby of the inn was lit up with candlelight, and curls of steam floated up from the backyard, it was the cook preparing the morning meal.

“Duk-duk!”

Xu Qi’an knocked on the counter and woke up the fellow who was dozing on the table by shouting:

“Get another guest room.”

The fellow was surprised, “Why is that?”

He had a good memory and recognized this blue-robed guest as the one who had stayed at the store near dusk today.

Why does one person need two rooms? Too much silver?

Xu Qi’an’s face turned cold, “Cut the crap.”

Seeing this, the fellow said no more, collected the money to register, and gave Xu Qi’an the guest room key.

Collecting the key, Xu Qi’an then replied to Li Miaozhen:

[3: I’m at the Tong Fu Inn. After you get into town, walk a mile down the main road.]

He tucked the fragment of the earth book into his arms and sat down in the most prominent position, directly opposite the front door of the inn.

After waiting for half a quarter of an hour, Li Miaozhen Chu Yuanjian and Hengyuan appeared and crossed the threshold into the inn.

“Brother Chu, Master Hengyuan, it’s been a long time, goodbye.” He greeted with a smile.

He finally looked at Li Miaozhen, and what flashed through his mind was Li Lingsu’s opening line – I haven’t seen you for many days, I miss you very much, even though my people are gone, my heart has always been here with you.

“Mistress Fei Yan is still graceful, where is my concubine Su Su? Did you take care of it for me.”

When the words came out, they resumed the opening of attaching themselves to Xu Qi’an’s persona.

Li Miaozhen heard the familiar smell and naturally rolled her eyes, “Fine, let the paper man sleep with you tonight.”

Although Su Su had the lotus seed, but has not been restored to the physical body, Xu Qi’an probably knows some reasons, also being the sun is one aspect of the factor, more importantly, the beautiful female ghost restored to the human body, the corresponding spells and means will no longer exist.

This is the price that must be paid for re-adulthood.

Therefore, the female ghost had not yet made up her mind.

The four of them smiled at each other, and Xu Qi’an got up at the right time, guiding the three of them up the stairs to his newly opened room.

He took out the key to unlock the door, lit the candles, and took two jars of yellow wine and four large bowls from the shards of the earth book.

“This is the wine I stocked up on my travels, taste it.”

“Good wine!”

Chu Yuanjian is a good wine person, shallow taste a mouthful, eyes glowing: “Have to warm a temperature taste is better.”

“A connoisseur.”

Xu Qi’an laughed.

So he asked his fellow to fetch a small stove, raise a charcoal fire, and warm the wine and chat.

Xu Qi’an told them in considerable detail about his exploits since he left the capital to travel from Yongzhou to Leizhou, and from Leizhou back to Yongzhou.

Along the way, big and small, say whatever comes to mind.

“Your experience is as colorful as ever.”

Chu Yuanjian held a large bowl, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, “So, that Wangfei is now considered your confidante?”

Li Miaozhen’s beautiful eyes narrowed for a moment.

You don t mention which pot is not open ……… Xu Qi an lowered his head and drank.

Chu Yuanzhan laughed:

“Speaking of which, I haven’t seen the real face of the Princess, but I know that even if even the State Master, comparing purely on looks, I’m afraid that I’m inferior to her. There are thousands of women in the capital, and the ones that can truly amaze people.

“Princess Zhenbei, the State Master, and His Highness Huaiqing, the three of them er.

“You are lucky to have one of them.”

People have different standards of aesthetics; Chu Yuanzhuan is a ranger, a reader, and a swordsman, corresponding to beauty, talent, and sword respectively!

It happens to be this woman.

Ah, sorry, it s all the fish in my pond …….. Xu Qi An knew that the State Master was in the same inn and did not dare to go deeper on this topic at all.

“Words are spoken too soon, perhaps our Highness Huaiqing is also secretly in love with Xu Yinluo.”

Li Miaozhen grunted twice in a conspiratorial manner, she didn’t pull more on the topic of Huaiqing, because in the Holy Maiden’s opinion, a reserved and cold woman of Huaiqing’s kind with amazing talent couldn’t possibly look at the flirtatious and lustful Xu Qi’an.

Even if there is some goodwill, it will only stop at goodwill.

“Where are the others and how are they disposed of?” Chu Yuanzhan asked.

“I’ve put them away in the Floating Pagoda, and when I hurriedly escaped here yesterday, the State Master and I were only concerned with healing our wounds.”

Dual cultivation is also healing ……. He added mentally.

“Li Lingsu is also in the tower?” Li Miaozhen asked.

Chu Yuanjian and Hengyuan looked over, they already knew that No. 7 was Li Lingsu, the character who had been hunted by her “enemy” and had disappeared for more than a year.

Xu Qi’an nodded his head, giving an affirmative reply, and after a moment of deliberation, said:

“In order to conceal my identity, I am not called Xu Qi’an in his place, but Xu Qian. The characterization is that of a transcendent realm expert who has lived for hundreds of years, a fearsome figure who can easily win even against Supervisor Zheng, and an unfathomable former senior.

“He was convinced and treated me with deference and reverence, and only dared to slander me in his heart.”

Chu Yuanjian Li Miaozhen and Hengyuan, the three originally thought it was quite normal, Xu Qi’an walking the Jianghu itself is hidden mainly, but listening to it, the three owners of the ground book shattered skin looked at each other, and then fell silent.

Lord Hsu’s old problem is back ……..

The river and mountain are easy to change the nature ah ……..

Haha, how would Li Ling Su feel if she knew the truth ……..

After saying that, Xu Qi’an opened the door:

“The so-called paper can’t hold fire, sooner or later the Holy Son will know my identity, about this, how to deal with it, I don’t have a clue for the time being, what do a few of you have to suggest.”

Li Miaozhen hastily raised her hand and suggested:

“Why let him know, it’s better to keep it under wraps for as long as you can rather than embarrass both parties.”

Chu Yuanjian recalled the two rooms and one room that he had gouged out with his paws in the wilderness of the north, by the campfire, and said in a serious manner:

“That’s a very good thing to say, Myojin.”

Disgusted that the Sacred Son Society didn’t die enough, planning to witness his society’s death together? You two bad seeds ……… Xu Qi an shook his head with a serious face:

“No, that would be too unfair to the Holy Son. He’ll feel that the whole world is bullying him and cheating him.”

Chu Yuanjian had a serious expression, “Ning Banquet, this is your one-sided idea, firstly, you hid your identity because of what happened. Secondly, the Saint Son is an open-minded person, and won’t feel that we bullied him because of this matter.”

You don’t even know him …….

Xu Qi’an says no, no, that’s unethical.

Lee Miao-jin said it’s okay to be okay, so that’s good.

Xu Qi’an said that I’m not such a bad taste.

Chu Yuanzhuan said that all of us are not.

In the end, Xu Qi’an reluctantly adopted the advice of his two companions and said:

“That’s it! Please also cooperate with me, and don’t tear me apart.”

Chu Yuanzhan and Li Miaozhen nodded their heads in satisfaction.

“Amitabha!”

Master Hengyuan, who witnessed all this, only felt that he was out of place with them because of his kind heart.

“By the way, why is the State Master in Yongzhou?”

Li Miaozhen asked the doubt that, deep inside her heart, she had always cared about.

Ah this ……… Xu Qi an s heart steeply sank, and he suddenly realized this problem.

The cultivation method of the Human Sect had the aftereffects of karmic fire backlash, which Li Miaozhen, who was the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Sect, and Chu Yuanjian, who was a registered disciple of the Human Sect, understood in their hearts.

Emperor Yuan Jing’s thoughts of dual cultivation with Luo Yu Heng was because qi could quench the karmic fire.

Even deadlier, the holders of the Earth Book Fragments now knew that he was carrying qi.

Xu Qi’an held a large bowl and took a sip of wine, using the afterglow when he lowered his head, he quickly swept a glance at Chu Yuanjian and Li Miaozhen.

Chu Yuanjian played with the big bowl, gently shaking the wine, a relaxed and leisurely manner, but if I’m not mistaken, his waist and back just now quietly straightened.

Li Miaozhen, on the other hand, leaned forward and stared at him with a burning gaze.

They sure are a little skeptical ……..

Just as Xu Qi’an was thinking of a pretext, the door to the guest room was knocked on, and there were two “thuds”.

“I’ll get it!”

Xu Qi’an took advantage of the situation and got up, walking towards the door of the room and pulling the bolt.

Unsurprisingly, there was a smiling, stunning beauty standing at the door, none other than the State Master Lord who had finished rolling in bed with him last night.

What is she doing here? Don’t say “Xu Lang”, Xu Qi’an said with a forced smile as he stepped aside with his scalp a little numb:

“Please come in, State Master.”

Luo Yu Heng nodded gently and crossed the threshold to enter the house.

“Master of the State!”

Li Miaozhen and the three of them hurriedly got up and performed the Taoist salute.

Luo Yu Heng smiled brightly and nodded gently, glancing at Chu Yuan Zhen: “Not bad, your cultivation has grown again, how will you be promoted after the fourth rank, have you thought about it?”

Chu Yuanjian shook his head with a bitter smile.

She then looked at Li Miaochen, “Mid-fourth grade now, you can step into the peak of the fourth grade within a year. Already surpassing your senior brother, Li Lingsu.”

Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanjian both felt that there was something different about today’s State Master, who seemed to have lost his previous high spirits.

Luo Yu Heng looked towards Xu Qi An and smiled:

“I’ve come to Yongzhou this time in order to go to the underground palace outside of Yongzhou to find out what’s going on, and I’ve heard from Xu Yinluo that the owner of the underground palace is the Ancestor of the Human Sect from the ancient times.”

It turns out to be so ……. Chu Yuanzhuan, who had personally experienced the exploration of the underground palace, came to a sudden realization.

I can’t help but think of the ferocity of it and lament:

“In fact, if Ning Banquet hadn’t brought Miss Zhong down to the tomb in the first place, we might have been able to just bring Lina out when we were at the perimeter.”

Li Miaozhen, who hadn’t been to the tomb together but was no stranger to the matter, nodded, “Did you find anything?”

It was a matter of the Dao Gate, and she was still very much on top of it.

Luo Yu Heng smiled, “It’s not time to go yet.”

Xu Qi’an secretly breathed a sigh of relief, surprised at the State Master’s understanding, and thought to himself, “Could this be the legendary saying that when a woman falls in love with you, she will think of you in everything?

“Why hide our relationship?”

Suddenly, Xu Qi’an received a transmission from Luo Yuheng.

……… He did not move and looked at the State Master, who looked at him with a smile at the corner of his mouth and full of deep meaning.

It s not because you are a shark, if you can get along with the other sisters, am I to be so wimpy ……… Xu Qi an for a moment actually did not know how to answer.

“Since you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t make it difficult for you. But accordingly, you shouldn’t make it difficult for me, should you.”

“What does the State Master mean by that?”

“Xu Lang, I’ll give you one day to clear your relationship with Mu Nanjia and Li Miaozhen. Return to the capital tomorrow and then clear your relationship with the other women. If you are still ambiguous with other women, I will be very bitter.”

“This, this …….”

“Well, I understand Xu Lang’s difficulty.”

Luo Yu Heng’s voice transmission tone was full of tenderness and love:

“If it’s inconvenient for you, then I’ll personally step in and clear the air for you. Mu Nanjia will retire in the future in the Department of Education.”

Are you the fucking devil …….. This personality is a sick girl ah …….. Cold sweat broke out on Xu Qi’an’s forehead.

At this time, Luo Yu Heng said, “I’ll go back to temper myself first, and later this afternoon, we’ll go to the Yongzhou City underground palace together.”

Li Miaozhen and the others performed a Taoist salute, “Yes!”

When Luo Yu Heng left, Li Miaozhen said:

“Take out the Faustian Pagoda ……… Xu Qi An, Xu Qi An? I’m talking to you.”

Xu Qi’an snapped back to her senses and let out a bewildered “ah”.

Li Miaozhen frowned and said, “What are you fuming about, I want to see Li Lingsu.”

“Oooooh …….”

Yes, hurry to find the slag man and ask how to deal with this situation ………. Xu Qi’an moved quickly and even took out the Floating Pagoda with some urgency.

The dark golden pagoda was only as big as the palm of a hand, hanging in mid-air, and the door of the pagoda suddenly opened up, sucking everyone in the room in.

…………

Inside the tower, on the first level.

Li Miaozhen and the others looked around, in front of them was the golden Buddha’s golden body, more than ten feet high. On either side of the Buddha, there were nine vaguely oriented Bodhisattvas, and after the Bodhisattvas were the Lohans.

These statues are so tall and majestic that humans are as small as ants in comparison.

Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhuan were both Buddhist, but they were in awe for no reason.

“Amitabha!”

Hengyuan folded his hands and looked pious.

On the path leading to the Buddha’s golden body, there were four people seated on a platter: the Zen Master Pure Heart, the blinded Pure Edge, the Dragon Qi Host Miao Youfang, and the reverently clasped Li Lingsu.

Li Miaozhen let out a “Hey” and called out:

“Li Lingsu, your godly senior sister has come to save you.”

The holy son’s ears twitched as he heard a familiar voice and moved slightly.

He immediately opened his eyes and stared straight at Li Miaozhen, saying in surprise, “Senior sister?”

Li Miaozhen scrutinized him and flirted, “I haven’t seen you for a year, but you’re still this lively, I thought you were going to be drained by women.”

Li Lingsu hummed, “After not seeing you for a year, your senior sister has made no progress, and is still so frugal with fabric.”

Xu Qi’an suddenly understood why Li Miaozhen chose to see death back then, and it turned out that there was also a personal vendetta mixed in.

Li Lingsu whirled around to look at Chu Yuanjian and Hengyuan and laughed:

“What are the names of the two fellow Daoists?”

Li Miaozhen pointed at the green-shirted swordsman, “Number four!”

Pointing at Everest again, “Number six!”

“Ahem!”

Li Lingsu coughed forcefully and signaled his senior sister with his eyes, not to divulge the matter of the earth book fragment.

At the same time, he was incomparably surprised as he scrutinized Chu Yuanjian and Hengyuan, not expecting to see the other two Earth Book Fragment holders here.

That’s not right… In the beginning, the holders of the Earth Book fragments were in a relationship of mutual wariness and mutual help.

How is it that it’s been less than a year and the holders are already friends with each other?

What had happened in my absence.

Well, it’s just that if you say code words, Xu Qian can’t understand them.

Muttering in his heart, Li Lingsu arched his hands in greeting with Chu Yuanjian and Hengyuan, then introduced himself:

“This is Senior Xu Qian Xu, highly respected and chivalrous, with the style of a warrior without losing the steadiness of being a senior.

“I can meet you all here thanks to Senior Xu’s help ……..”

When he finished speaking, he realized that Chu Yuanjian, Li Miaozhen, and Hengyuan were looking at him with gazes as if they were fools.

No, it was more complicated than looking at a fool, especially the detestable senior sister Li Miaozhen, her face was suffocatingly red, her snow-white neck followed suit, and the muscles in her neck area were slightly twitching.

“What are you laughing at?” Li Lingsu frowned.

“I’m not laughing.”

Li Miaozhen faintly said.

Chu Yuanjian interjected at the right time and said sincerely, “Truth be told, we are old acquaintances with Elder Xu, and only a few people in the capital know about his existence.”

Sure enough, ah, Xu Qian, as a transcendental realm powerhouse who can play against Supervisor Zheng, his identity is hidden, but people with high levels are bound to recognize ………. Li Lingsu nodded his head, with a look like as I expected, I had already guessed it.

“Several Dao Masters, although I’ve been with Elder Xu for a long time, I’ve never known his roots.”

Li Lingsu privately transmitted the voice of his senior sister, as well as the two Earth Book Fragment holders, “Do you know what he really is.”

Chu Yuanjian pondered for a moment and replied with a voice transmission, “This person, Xu Qian, has some relationship with the royal family, the specific identity, I cannot tell.”

There is some relationship with the royal family ………. Li Lingsu revealed a dazed look and transmitted her voice:

“Hey, my guess was right, he has an extremely deep relationship with the Si Tian Supervisor, and he is responsible for collecting dragon qi, and he is related to the Princess of Zhenbei ……….”

Li Lingsu’s pupils shook as she transmitted her voice:

“Could it be, could it be that he’s the Zhenbei King? That’s not right, didn’t the Zhenbei King die in the Northern Realm long ago.”

He was not well-informed, but he knew about the matter of the Zhenbei King’s perishing.

Li Miaozhen’s cheek muscles trembled and her lips pursed, somewhat unable to hold it in.

“What are you laughing at.” Li Lingsu frowned.

“I’m not laughing.” Li Miaozhen denied.

“You clearly have, and I’ve put up with you for a long time.” He said angrily.

On this side, the voice transmission muttered, but on the other side, Xu Qi’an had already arrived in front of Miao Youfang, scrutinizing this Dragon Qi host.

…………

PS: I have a meeting this afternoon, so I’m delayed. This chapter is a bit rushed, but at least the word count is close to five thousand, which is not bad.

Typos to be corrected later.

Well, keep coding the next chapter, but the update is expected to be very late, and we’re all regular readers, so I’m sure we all know what’s going on. So waiting is not recommended.
