Right, right, when cousin and auntie talked about Sister Zhu, Ms. Mu, and Pei... the wet nurse, they looked sowhat sad."
She looked at Lu Jin’an: "Cousin, obviously, when she talked to , she was smiling. So why did she look sad when talking to auntie?"
"..."
Lu Jin’an said nothing. Qiu Qingtang leaned closer to Mu Qingyue and whispered: "Commanding the concubines through one’s parents, eh."
Mu Qingyue smiled faintly: "That’s not sothing she can decide."
"Did Young Master Lu decide then?" Qiu Qingtang blinked: "But no matter what, you all have to call her ’sister,’ after all, she really is Young Master Lu’s ’older sister.’"
Mu Qingyue retracted her smile, while a glint of amusent flashed in Qiu Qingtang’s eyes. She extended her index finger and chuckled: "’Brother and sister,’ it’s more intimate childhood sweethearts, isn’t it?"
Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at Qiu Qingtang and smiled again, calmly saying: "I can indeed call Junior Brother ’daddy.’"
Qiu Qingtang was taken aback, thinking about the relationship between Mu Qingyue and Pei Wanyu... This is truly an enjoyable dynamic of master-disciple and mother-daughter in the Taichu Hall.
Qiu Qingtang’s fluffy tail swayed uncontrollably as she stared at Mu Qingyue’s profile, lost in thought, swallowing unconsciously.
Mu Qingyue thought Qiu Qingtang’s behavior seed like sothing Junior Brother would do, yet Junior Brother never showed such an expression.
However, recalling the day she helped Junior Brother open the Dao Palace with ’mother,’ Junior Brother did indeed seem very compliant.
Thinking of ’mother,’ Mu Qingyue bit her delicate lips. After returning to Taichu Hall, ’mother’ was the greatest obstacle.
But... everything was within the plan.
"When will you return?"
"Cousin, will you take to Wandao Sect for a stroll? Please?" Qin Ningxu hugged his arm coyly: "Let feel Saint Heir Lu’s power, please?"
"No." Lu Jin’an held her head down on the lawn: "You’re already ’unwanted at ho and loathed even by dogs’. Going to Wandao Sect, who knows how you’d misbehave!"
"Oh gosh!" Qin Ningxu looked at him pleadingly: "Isn’t a background ant to be used?"
"If you don’t go back, believe it or not, I’ll incriminate you. Let’s see if sister still lets you near ."
"Cousin, that’s too much!"
"Are you going back or not?"
"I will... but only when you leave, cousin," Qin Ningxu pouted.
"Alright."
"Right, right, what should we do about Yin Su?" Qin Ningxu quickly asked.
"Your Qin Clan’s affairs, handle them yourselves."
"Oh～"
"Did my sister ntion anything about the Possessor?" Lu Jin’an asked one more thing.
Qin Ningxu sat up and shook her head: "Cousin only asked to co to Yulin Domain to play..."
Lu Jin’an nodded, deeply curious about how his sister managed to know everything without stepping out of the house.
As he pondered, he heard footsteps approaching from behind.
Qin Ningxu quickly tidied her hair, and Qiu Qingtang, keeping her word, transford back into her original form and hid in Mu Qingyue’s embrace.
"Saint Lu." Li Wuyi made a salute, his expression heavy: "Several Tribulation Crossing Realm experts from the Divine Intent Sect self-detonated on their way to Tongqi Hehuan Sect."
Lu Jin’an stood up and patted the leaves off his body, turning to look at Li Wuyi: "Was it voluntary or coerced?"
"Voluntary." Li Wuyi looked at him: "Because of this, I’ve already dispatched people to the Yang Family, Baoyuan Sect, and Xunfeng Country...
The Manor Master of Ba Dao Manor, upon learning about this, has already taken two other Immortals from the manor to Wandao Sect to find Sect Master Zheng. He asked to inform you."
Lu Jin’an nodded: "Thoroughly investigate the high level of the sects Yang Guan was affiliated with."
Li Wuyi was montarily stunned: "Soul Search?"
"What else?" Lu Jin’an’s eyelids drooped slightly: "Even though their strength is not great, if there’s any issue causing them to unexpectedly drag a genius or two from the sect to mutual destruction, it would still be our loss."
He started walking, speaking in a calm tone: "This is my intent, go ahead with it."
Li Wuyi cupped his hands: "Understood."
"Investigate through the night." Lu Jin’an added: "I want results within two days."
Li Wuyi responded and flew down the mountain, taking out his Communication Compass to start contacting others.
Lu Jin’an also took out his Communication Compass to send ssages to Jiang Wuya and others, indicating they can return to their sects first.
Qin Ningxu followed beside Lu Jin’an: "Cousin, do we need to bring rain to Sunset Canyon?"
Lu Jin’an paused in his steps, then sighed lightly.
Sunset Canyon doesn’t need any rain.
Thinking back, it seed his sister purposefully tid the rain to create an atmosphere exposing Yang Guan...
It was like a theatrical troupe set up just for him.
How did she know even more than him?
Moreover... she seems even more terrifying than before.
At least before she would tell him not to stray beyond ten ters from her, but now, regardless of how far away he was, she knows everything clearly.
Could it be she placed so kind of prohibition in his Sea of Consciousness?
The likelihood... was not high.
Before he left ho, she’d just reached the Tongsheng Realm. There’s no way she had such abilities.
Besides, he had his Master protecting him. With Master’s skill, he would’ve noticed any abnormalities in the Sea of Consciousness.
"Cousin?" Qin Ningxu looked up at Lu Jin’an: "You haven’t answered my question yet."
"No need." Lu Jin’an patted Qin Ningxu’s head, thinking it’s fine if sister knows, as long as she doesn’t suddenly appear before him.
If she does appear, that’d be okay too, unless Master is nearby.
Lu Jin’an couldn’t help but smile, thinking if only Master were here, one who doesn’t harbor intentions that make him panic-stricken.
Well, Senior Sister counts as half.
With that thought, Lu Jin’an suddenly desired to return to Taichu Hall to see his Master.
"Alright, alright." Qin Ningxu nodded, extending her hand to hold his: "Cousin, then take for a stroll. I’ve never been this far."
"Alright."
As they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw an elder from the Tongqi Hehuan Sect hurrying towards them: "Saint Lu, this was entrusted to to give to you by the Young Master."
He held a square transparent box, inside of which a Green Lotus was glowing softly under the night sky.
"Saint Lu has helped the Yulin Domain resolve a hidden danger; this is the Young Master’s token of gratitude on behalf of the entire Yulin Domain. Please accept it."
Lu Jin’an unceremoniously accepted the Soul Nourishing Green Lotus: "You’re thoughtful."
The elder saluted: "I will take my leave now."
"Junior Brother, when will you break through Wenqu Palace?" Mu Qingyue asked softly.
"Let’s go back." Lu Jin’an leaned towards Mu Qingyue’s side and whispered: "When the ti cos, I’ll borrow so of Senior Sister’s yin energy."
"Just need the energy?" Mu Qingyue hooked his waist with her hand: "What about the source?"
"Yes, yes."
"Do you need ’mother’s help?"
"Having Senior Sister is enough." Lu Jin’an smiled slightly, in such crucial monts, taking one step at a ti is sufficient.
Honestly, he was a bit looking forward to it.
Senior Sister was already cold enough, so how refreshing would the source of yin energy be?
"I think so too." Mu Qingyue’s lips curled into a smile: "Building the Wenqu Palace in the brain is indeed a great opportunity."
Pausing briefly, she added softly: "Junior Brother must be very hot... so is his Divine Soul."
Lu Jin’an laughed: "I won’t practice the ’Seeking Joy Soul Refining Skill.’"
"Not practicing doesn’t impede the rging of Divine Souls."
Her tone was laced with excitent; just imagining her hot junior brother was exhilarating.
Would it break?
No, it shouldn’t break. If it breaks, it’s no fun.
"Junior Brother, you just give it your all." Mu Qingyue’s steps turned noticeably lighter.
Lu Jin’an tilted his head to look at her: "Is Senior Sister unfathomable?"
"Junior Brother must give his best effort." Mu Qingyue said steadily: "I’m much stronger than ’mother.’"
"Really?"
"Really." Mu Qingyue nodded: "Certainly more formidable than Nanzhi...
Junior Brother only needs to work hard, leave the rest to Senior Sister."
"Then I’ll follow Senior Sister’s guidance."
"Yes, and rember, don’t flirt these days." Mu Qingyue patted his back: "Save..."
"Okay, okay."
"Thank you, Junior Brother～"
Qiu Qingtang, hidden on Mu Qingyue’s shoulder, tried her hardest not to interrupt... pretending not to hear anything and going to study!
"Fox spirit, why don’t you keep my Master company then?"
"Huh?"
Qiu Qingtang poked her head out, staring at Lu Jin’an blankly.
No way with that!
Lu Jin’an flicked her forehead lightly: "Guarding against you."
Qiu Qingtang opened her mouth ready to bite his finger, this person was too annoying.
He didn’t understand the way of "Books have their path, diligence is the key!"
