"So that’s how it is, it was this Mr. Chen who saved us."
After the other two disciples of the Qiankun Sect awoke, and after a brief explanation from the young girl,
the young man in purple finally understood the course of events.
During this process, they also learned that Lu Qing was now using the alias "Chen Qing."
Imdiately, the young man in purple and the other two Qiankun Sect disciples solemnly bowed to Lu Qing to express their gratitude.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for saving our lives. If it weren’t for your tily rescue, we might have perished to Li Motian and our souls would have descended to the Yellow Springs."
"No need to be so polite. My master has always taught that those who cultivate should uphold their true selves and do good deeds.
I just happened to be at the right place at the right ti to save you all."
Lu Qing said with a slight smile.
"Your master’s words are truly noble wisdom. May I ask which senior master he is?"
"I apologize, but when I left to travel, my master gave strict orders not to casually reveal his esteed na."
The young man in purple and the others were not surprised upon hearing this.
When disciples from major sects or noble families travel, they often conceal their identities.
Just like when they go out for training, they rarely reveal that they are disciples of the Qiankun Sect.
However, in their hearts, they secretly began to ponder and speculate which family among the powerful sect forces in the Heavenly Origin Great World might harbor a genius like Lu Qing.
"Everyone, since your bodies are now well, it is ti for to take my leave."
However, before they could deduce which major sect Lu Qing might belong to, Lu Qing suddenly said.
"Is Mr. Chen leaving already?"
The young man in purple and the others were taken aback.
Especially the young girl, who stood frozen on the spot.
"Indeed, I travel around with no fixed abode, and eting you was rely happenstance.
Now that your injuries have healed, I can rest easy. Let’s part ways here."
"How can it be so, Mr. Chen, you saved us, such a great grace, and we haven’t repaid you even a little yet."
The woman surnad Ye hurriedly said.
"Our eting was fate, and it was just a small help, there’s no need for you to take it to heart." Lu Qing smiled.
"But not repaying a kindness is not sothing our kind would do. A lifesaving grace is greater than the heavens, if we just let you leave without repaying anything, our master might scold us upon our return."
The young man in purple insisted.
Lu Qing looked at their earnest expressions and thought for a mont.
He said, "If that’s the case, why don’t you give so spirit stones?"
???
Lu Qing’s sudden words left the young man in purple and the others dumbfounded.
"It’s like this." Seeing their puzzlent, Lu Qing explained, "My master is a doctor.
He often teaches to have the heart of a healer.
When treating you earlier, I used a top-grade spirit fruit.
If you feel burdened, then give so spirit stones as consultation fees."
In the end, in a state of bewildernt mixed with a sense of absurdity,
after Lu Qing received a bag of spirit stones from them, he said, "Everyone, mountains and rivers will et again, so I’ll take my leave here."
After speaking, he transford into a streak of light, ascending into the sky and gracefully departing.
Leaving the young man in purple and others standing there, staring blankly in the direction he left.
After a while, when the light Lu Qing transford into had long disappeared, they finally regained their senses.
"This Mr. Chen really cos and goes like the wind, truly free-spirited. We cultivators should aspire to be like that."
The young man in purple spoke with admiration.
The others also deeply agreed.
Although they had only interacted with Lu Qing for such a short ti, he had left a deep impression in their hearts.
"Why did Brother Chen leave so quickly?"
The young girl looked regretful, feeling deeply disappointed.
The young man in purple, seeing her disappointnt, laughed imdiately: "It seems our most admired Junior Sister Xiao Jing in the Inner Sect has been drawn to him."
The girl’s face turned red instantly: "Senior Brother Zixiao, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"But it’s understandable, although Mr. Chen looks rather ordinary,
his cultivation is profound, and his personality free and unrestrained, far more outstanding than many True Disciples in our Inner Sect.
Plus, after the heroic rescue, it’s normal for you, Junior Sister Xiao Jing, to feel moved."
The young man in purple continued to tease.
"Senior Brother Zixiao, stop talking!" The girl’s face turned even redder.
Seeing her bashful look, he wanted to tease her further.
At that mont, Senior Sister Ye gave him a stern look and coldly said:
"Zixiao, if you don’t learn to restrain your mouth, it will surely bring you trouble one day. How can you slander Mr. Chen?"
"Senior Sister..." The young man in purple was startled, not expecting her to suddenly beco so serious.
But Senior Sister Ye no longer paid him any mind, instead turning to the girl and asking, "Xiao Jing, where is Li Motian’s corpse?"
"Just ahead not far from here, Senior Sister Ye, I’ll take you there."
The redness on the girl’s face faded slightly as she flew towards the place where Lu Qing and Li Motian had fought.
Senior Sister Ye glanced at the young man in purple: "Once you see Li Motian’s corpse, you’ll realize just how laughable your earlier words were."
With that, she too left.
This left the young man in purple and the other two Qiankun Sect disciples standing around, baffled.
"Senior Brother Zixiao, why did Senior Sister Ye suddenly get angry?" asked one of the Qiankun Sect disciples.
"I don’t know either." The young man in purple scratched his head, "It seems the reason must be related to Li Motian’s corpse."
