Zhou Qing also smiled and cupped his fists, "Senior Sister Yuan Ya, long ti no see!"
Yuan Ya seed to quickly rember sothing, her face flushed slightly as she said, "You really had fooled, Junior Brother Li Si?"
Zhou Qing felt a bit awkward. It wasn’t his fault that he ranked fourth in Little Spirit Peak, and Third Sister just blurted it out that day.
"Li Si?" Lu Yaoyao looked at Yuan Ya’s shy deanor, feeling confused.
At this mont, Yuan Ya looked at Lu Yaoyao with gratitude on her face, bowed slightly, and said, "I forgot to ask just now, this Junior Sister is?"
"Lu Yaoyao of Divine Peak, Taiqing Sect!" Lu Yaoyao returned the greeting, responding confidently.
Yuan Ya suddenly understood, "So you are Lu Yaoyao. I heard the Sect Leader ntion you casually. It’s said you have an elder who is a close friend in Taiqing Sect, and you two call each other sisters, having a great relationship."
Lu Yaoyao scratched her head sheepishly.
Since the war of the Five Sects, she hadn’t seen Xuan You for a long ti and wondered how she was doing now.
"By the way, Senior Sister, you and Senior Brother Zhou..."
Lu Yaoyao imdiately got into a gossiping mood, her eyes sparkling as she looked curiously at Yuan Ya’s hair color.
Seeing her expression, Zhou Qing sensed trouble and quickly interrupted, "It’s nothing important. By the way, Senior Sister, how did you end up here?"
Yuan Ya had to explain that her current role was primarily as a spy, responsible for gathering information and reporting back to the sect.
Just like last ti in You Huang City, when she discovered Cangyan Daoist Palace’s base and the approaching Song Yuan, she imdiately inford stronger senior brothers or sisters to co to her aid.
This ti, however, she didn’t expect to be targeted by people from the Phecda Sect and had to flee here, ultimately forced to fight back.
Zhou Qing understood after hearing this.
Seeing that Lu Yaoyao still looked eager to speak, Zhou Qing imdiately said, "This place isn’t safe, Senior Sister, we still have so tasks, so we’ll be going first!"
Yuan Ya quickly stopped him, handing over the storage bag of the Phecda Sect man.
"His Nascent Soul is still useful to . This storage bag rightfully belongs to you. Senior Brother Zhou, Junior Sister Lu, I owe you my life!" She said, bowing solemnly again.
Zhou Qing could only accept it, "Take care!"
"You both be careful too!" Yuan Ya replied.
Then the two parties bid farewell and went off in different directions.
...
"You two just don’t have the chemistry. I don’t think you’ll make it as a couple!" Flying on the sword, Lu Yaoyao couldn’t help but speak.
Zhou Qing: "..."
"I still think Xuan You and the Ninth Princess are more suitable for you; one is a late-stage Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse, a Sect Leader; the other is backed by royal status, with a big family and vast resources..."
Lu Yaoyao continued to talk to herself, getting more and more enthusiastic, her little mouth chattering non-stop.
"Enough, focus on the journey!" Before Lu Yaoyao could finish, Zhou Qing quickly stopped her.
Lu Yaoyao pouted, looking unconvinced, her little mouth still whispering complaints.
"Brother-in-law, is that you?"
A day later, as they continued their journey, a voice of surprise suddenly ca from ahead, and they imdiately went on alert.
Soon, they saw a rough-looking man in tattered clothes hurriedly flying towards them.
The most noticeable thing about him was his thick eyebrows, looking like two caterpillars above his eyes.
"White Crane?" Zhou Qing was stunned.
Wasn’t he supposed to have left with Second Sister?
How did he suddenly appear here?
Hearing Zhou Qing call out the na, Lu Yaoyao felt it was familiar and quickly rembered.
Wasn’t this the Fourth Prince who camped at the foot of the sect mountain?
Seeing Zhou Qing truly before him, White Crane’s face was filled with joy. He looked around as if searching for sothing, then quickly asked, "Didn’t your Second Sister co with you?"
Zhou Qing shook his head, equally puzzled, "Wasn’t my Second Sister with you?"
White Crane sighed heavily, his face full of frustration, "She dumped !"
Zhou Qing: "..."
"You know she’s been second on the Cangyan Daoist Palace’s kill list lately, facing extre danger."
"I was secretly protecting her, but I found out a few days ago that I had been following a paperman all along."
White Crane’s face was full of self-bla, his thick brows furrowing together.
Zhou Qing was shocked.
Second Sister did like to use papern.
But seeing White Crane’s remorseful expression, Zhou Qing frowned slightly, instinctively recalling the three paintings Xuan You sent.
He was cautious in his speech, suspecting that Cangyan Daoist Palace might have connections with the royal capital.
Now, this Fourth Prince was almost shalessly pursuing Second Sister. Could he have other motives?
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but worry if Second Sister was really missing and how she was now.
After all, there were no Soul Lamps for them anymore in the sect’s Soul Lamp Tower. If sothing happened, no one would know.
Fortunately, the Talent Skill [Heart Mirror Vision] still had two slots left. Zhou Qing imdiately bound the White Crane in front of him.
Soon, the [???] above his head was replaced by three gold notes — [Brother-in-law].
Seeing this, Zhou Qing was sowhat relieved.
If he bore no ill will towards him, then Second Sister should be fine.
