Zhou Qing's eyes brightened, filled with surprise.
He originally thought Xuanyuan Shuo would at most offer two Spirit Stones, but unexpectedly, he conceded half, which was quite refreshing and unexpected for him.
"Probably has sothing to do with Second Uncle's influence!" Zhou Qing thought to himself.
The news of Second Uncle's departure was likely unknown to him, as he had not shown up to cause trouble, leading Zhou Qing to speculate that he might have his own concerns.
This ti asking for compensation, Xuanyuan Shuo must have also taken the opportunity to maintain harmony, providing Zhou Qing with a way out and also preserving their cooperative relationship.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing's lips curled into a smile, then under Jiang Pojun's apprehensive gaze, he accepted the storage bag.
Jiang Pojun heaved a sigh of relief, saying, "Thank you, Brother Zhou!"
Zhou Qing felt a bit embarrassed, "It was hard on you, making two trips."
Even taking the Teleportation Array, just the journey from the Taiqing Sect to Lingyun Mansion would take a month, let alone the farther border.
But Jiang Pojun made the round trip in such a short ti, showing that the urgency of the situation was beyond imagination.
"It's alright, the Dynasty has special teleportation channels here, and I was just delivering the ssage back!"
Seemingly understanding what Zhou Qing was thinking, Jiang Pojun quickly explained.
Zhou Qing nodded and said, "When should we set off?"
Jiang Pojun's eyes brightened, saying, "The sooner, the better!"
"Alright, give so ti to prepare, we'll leave in the afternoon!" Zhou Qing replied.
Jiang Pojun excitedly bowed, "Thank you for your understanding, Brother Zhou!"
"It's still early, let's go inside and talk!" Zhou Qing sidestepped to invite him.
Jiang Pojun glanced at Lu Yaoyao and the two others not far away, and at Cao Zhengyang and the others with gloomy faces at the sect barrier, and looked awkward.
"No, no need, there are still so matters on the flying ship that need attention, I'll wait for Brother Zhou there."
After Zhou Qing repeatedly invited him, he had to give up and turned back.
"I want to go with you!" Lu Yaoyao saw Zhou Qing receive the storage bag, not knowing what it was, but she understood that her father had agreed to send help to Xuanyuan Shuo.
Helping in the Spirit Severing Realm was no small task, and when Third Mother took them to the Kunpeng Palace Secret Realm last ti, the level of danger did not need to be ntioned.
Just as Zhou Qing was about to shake his head, Lu Yaoyao said, "When Sister Shen slew the Spider Emperor, the Flood Dragon Emperor witnessed it; crucially, with by your side, we could intimidate the enemy."
Zhou Qing thought carefully and indeed found it a good plan, but still shook his head.
After all, he was to venture into the territory of the Demon Race as Peng Emperor, and it was not suitable for Lu Yaoyao to follow.
More critically, what if Xuanyuan Shuo had ulterior motives and conducted a Soul Search on her?
No one would know if mories were erased afterward, but wouldn't the secret of that island be exposed?
If Xuanyuan Shuo figured out he could unlock the Five-Color Restriction, he might have other plans, which would leave him a heap of trouble.
"I'll go too!" Yan Xiaohu chid in.
Last ti, when repairing the Four-Color Array, he went along and was at least familiar with the place and the people.
Zhou Qing looked at the two of them and directly refused, then used a Secret Technique to explain the pros and cons in detail.
Only then did they realize that Xuanyuan Shuo had actually perford a Soul Search on Zhou Qing.
That old guy truly had no sense of honor.
Lu Yaoyao let out a cold humph, although reluctantly, she understood the danger and could only nod in agreent.
Yan Xiaohu broke into a cold sweat, realizing that if he went along, wouldn't they find out about Old Fourth's Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown?
Wouldn't that just be creating more trouble?
Better forget it; better ask Old Mo later to lock away those mories for safety.
"I'll go with you. I don't know anything, and there's nothing to worry about."
"Don't refuse yet, I'm not from your Taiqing Sect, my decisions are not under your control, and my flying ship is much faster than yours!"
This ti, Shen Yunzhou spoke up.
Zhou Qing thought it over and agreed.
Afterward, they entered the sect and discussed with his master and the Master Sect Leader.
"Don't worry, for a long period ahead, he'll need my help and, with Second Uncle, he'll naturally keep safe!" Zhou Qing comforted.
After speaking to such an extent, the two sighed and could only agree.
Zhou Qing then returned to his residence, entrusted the old hen to Elder Brother Yan, packed up, and followed Shen Yunzhou out.
"Brother Shen, as you've seen, he hasn't been to the border yet; this ti he's coming along to gain so experience!" Zhou Qing explained.
Jiang Pojun nodded, saying, "No problem, please co aboard!"
With Zhou Qing greeting those seeing him off at the sect gate, the flying ship headed directly for Lingyun Mansion.
...
Twenty days later, as everyone erged from the Central Square of Vast Mansion, Zhou Qing planned to first visit the White Jade Taixu Courtyard.
After all, before leaving last ti, he specifically asked Master Lin to use his connections to help find Second Sister.
He wondered how things were now.
Faced with Zhou Qing's decision, Jiang Pojun could only agree, and since it was on the way, it wouldn't take too long.
Soon, Zhou Qing t Lin Daochen.
Lin Daochen looked sowhat apologetic and said, "The search area is continuously being narrowed, but so far, no secret realms that could trap both of them at the Divinity Transformation Realm have been found."
"Could it be they found so unknown place? Why don't you rethink so details?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing shook his head, feeling sowhat worried.
Given Second Sister's steady nature, she wouldn't venture into such dangerous places lightly and would at least ensure a fallback plan.
Could they have gone sowhere else?
