Chapter 334: Chapter 178: The Cage in Lu Pei and Senior Sister’s Cave Mansion (6000 words)_2
"Hmm..." Zheng Dongliu nodded: "The Upper Realm is not short of great individuals.
Oh right, the Sword Cultivation Ceremony hosted by the Lin Yuan Sword Sect will begin this winter, you can take your Senior Sister to attend at that time."
Zheng Dongliu looked at Lu Jin’an: "After all, she has participated sparingly, and many people doubt the true worth of her ’Sword Immortal’ title. If you accompany her, she should listen to you."
"If there’s time, I will go with Senior Sister." Lu Jin’an smiled: "But this kind of reputation can easily lead to obsession, taking it too seriously is asking for trouble. My Senior Sister doesn’t care about these idle talks."
"You can’t afford to not care." Zheng Dongliu smiled slightly: "You are different from her."
"Disciple understands." Lu Jin’an nodded, hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Disciple and Qin..."
Zheng Dongliu stroked his beard, interrupting him: "That’s not important."
"Hmm..."
"You are the Saint Heir of Wandao Sect chosen by this old man, my judgment is not poor." Zheng Dongliu stood up: "You continue to study, I’ll arrange other matters."
Lu Jin’an rose and bowed, raising his head to watch Zheng Dongliu’s departing figure, his eyes flickering.
Why can’t the Sect Master hear or directly mention certain people’s names?
Moreover... does the Sect Master know his own origins?
Lu Jin’an did not think deeply, collected his thoughts, and sat back down, focusing his attention on what needed to be done.
······
Under the shadow of a big tree, Qiu Qingtang sat with a sprig of foxtail grass in her mouth, leaning against the tree, one hand on her bent knee, and the other holding a paper, quietly reading.
This was a letter that Grandma asked her to deliver to the Wandao Sect Master before departure, not sealed with any prohibition, so she copied it down after leaving Qingqiu.
When she went back to request to go to Wandao Sect for study exchange, Grandma readily agreed.
She wanted to know what Grandma was up to, so she opened the letter and copied it.
"Pah."
Qiu Qingtang spat out the foxtail grass, flicked the paper with her fingers, her lips curling into a faint smile.
At this moment, although she appeared youthful and beautiful, there was a wildness typical of demon beasts in her eyebrows.
"Grandma is still conservative, huh."
Qiu Qingtang smiled, having read the letter’s content several times, each time feeling that Grandma’s thoughts were simply conservative!
It turns out that letting feelings develop naturally is not only slow to show results but may not even achieve any.
The transformed Xiao Li clung to the foxtail grass and lay on her shoulder, wagging its tail: "Doesn’t the master have a good impression of Young Master Lu?"
"Yes, but..." Qiu Qingtang slowly folded the paper: "Grandma’s time is probably not enough."
She lifted her hand to stroke Xiao Li’s chin: "I look so innocent, and I’m full of playful words, quite charming, right?
Plus, he’s a bit of a lecher, I thought it would be pretty easy, but he actually has a hard heart."
Xiao Li squinted its eyes comfortably: "So what is the master planning to do... Ying~"
"Make him take responsibility." Qiu Qingtang’s left hand slowly slid down, stopping at her lower abdomen: "Will he not care about his child? When he finds out his child is suffering in Qingqiu, will he ignore it?"
Xiao Li’s eyes widened: "But he’ll also be angry, right?"
Qiu Qingtang chuckled: "Aren’t there often plots in books where love turns into hate, and hate turns into affection? It seems quite amusing~
Plus..."
She slowly stood up, collecting the smile on her lips: "I am from Qingqiu, after all."
With that, Qiu Qingtang patted her cheeks, resuming her innocent look, and headed toward the direction of Taichu Hall.
"Master, Young Master Lu is not in Taichu Hall..."
"I’m not looking for him." Qiu Qingtang said, walking towards the back mountain.
However, after a few steps, she stopped and looked at a woman not far away, dressed in a deep purple robe, poised and noble, like a deity descended to the world.
This was the first time Qiu Qingtang saw Pei Wanyu in person.
All she had heard before were rumors.
The rumors were much the same, all talking about how terrifying this woman’s strength is.
Even though her cultivation was only at the late Divine Presence Realm, not many Hidden Immortal Venerables outside the Life Wheel Five Elements could match her.
It’s hard to imagine how she raised her strength to this level with only a Divine Presence Realm cultivation.
However, what interested Qiu Qingtang was Pei Wanyu’s other side.
A master who flirts with apprentices and doesn’t mind the ’good’ of her daughter.
Qiu Qingtang’s gaze skimmed over Pei Wanyu’s face, curious about what kind of expression this imposing woman would have in the dead of night, unbeknownst to outsiders.
Also... her chest is really big.
With many thoughts running through her mind, Qiu Qingtang bowed: "Junior greets Master Pei."
The Xiao Li on her shoulder also mimicked the master’s formality, bowing toward Pei Wanyu.
Pei Wanyu glanced at this fox spirit who appeared innocent but was full of playful words, and said plainly: "Let’s talk about the business matters."
Qiu Qingtang lifted her head, blinking: "With you?"
Pei Wanyu raised her chin slightly, saying lightly: "This matter is under my jurisdiction."
Qiu Qingtang thoughtfully looked at Pei Wanyu, truly the ’nanny’ Seventh Miss Qin had mentioned.
With these thoughts, Qiu Qingtang suppressed her urge to go to the back mountain to find Mu Qingyue and obediently said: "Does Master Pei have any ideas?"
’I mustn’t offend this woman, nor let her know my thoughts.’
Qiu Qingtang thought silently; Pei Wanyu’s status in Young Master Lu’s heart is like a proper wife, and she herself amounts to nothing.
If the rightful wife finds out the eldest son was not born by her, she would definitely be furious!
