"Alright, I understand."
Lu Hongyun smiled again, nodding, "Actually, that man isn’t bad. At least when Qiu Guangxuan was humiliating you, he didn’t choose to stand idly by but ca forward. Hmm, he’s a man of character!"
Lu Hongyun knew that although her adopted daughter was sowhat reserved in matters of the heart, she had her own mind. When n usually expressed their admiration for her, she would reject them without hesitation.
However, when it ca to that man, she hesitated, not saying whether she liked him or not, which spoke volus.
Sotis, not expressing an attitude is an attitude in itself.
The private conversation between the two won was naturally unknown to Fang Bai and He Wujie.
Fang Bai rolled his eyes at He Wujie, saying, "I admire her... understand? Admiration and liking are two different things!"
He Wujie grinned, "Admire, my foot! You admire her, which ans you’re interested in her. I’ve lived for hundreds of years and understand matters between n and won more clearly than you do!"
Fang Bai smirked inwardly, thinking, "I’ve lived tens of thousands of years across two lifetis, how can you compare with ?"
How could He Wujie know Fang Bai’s true background? Seeing Zhao Wanqing and Qiu Jianren fighting fiercely, he felt itchy with excitent and said, "They’re fighting, and we’re just going to watch like this? It’s not right! How about we join in? Although a group fight isn’t very honorable, having a fight would be quite enjoyable!"
Fang Bai gestured to the martial artists around them and said, "Want to fight? Maybe it won’t be long before we have our chance!"
On the day the Wind Roc lays eggs, it will be a ti of fighting among thousands of martial artists. One can imagine how intense the battles will be for the five Roc Eggs.
"I’m full of anticipation for this!"
He Wujie rubbed his hands together, and the excitent brought a flush of red to his face.
"He Wujie, leave this madman to you!"
Zhao Wanqing had fought fiercely with Qiu Jianren for over half a two hours. She was sowhat unaccustod to Qiu Jianren’s increasingly reckless fighting style. She was able to cope at first but later felt it was a bit strenuous, so she waved her hand to force Qiu Jianren to retreat and withdrew from the battlefield.
After the intense battle, Zhao Wanqing’s spiritual energy was severely depleted. After withdrawing, she imdiately moved to a secluded spot to sit down, recuperating to restore her spiritual energy.
Qiu Jianren, in his desire to avenge his son’s death, fought Zhao Wanqing with all his might, using a desperate fighting style.
In a duel between two experts with the sa cultivation level, the one willing to fight desperately will inevitably have the upper hand.
Therefore, Zhao Wanqing, who was suppressed by Qiu Jianren, lost interest in continuing the fight. She had just reunited with her lover He Wujie and was in a good mood. She didn’t want to risk her life fighting, ending up with wounds all over her body, or even losing her life.
Even though it seed like a tag-team when He Wujie continued the battle, so what?
Zhao Wanqing was confident that even if she and He Wujie tead up to kill Qiu Jianren, not a single martial artist on the scene would stand up for Qiu Jianren.
While martial artists are often bloodthirsty, they are also incredibly intelligent. They won’t involve themselves in matters unrelated to them lightly.
Moreover, this whole matter started because of the Flower Pavilion, and no one would risk offending the Flower Pavilion to speak up for Qiu Jianren.
Sure enough, just as Zhao Wanqing expected, after she retreated, He Wujie continued to battle Qiu Jianren. Most of the martial artists watching wore expressions of indifference, as if it was none of their business, while a small portion watched for fun. Only a very few experts silently criticized them in their hearts but dared not express it openly.
Who has the spare ti to provoke the powerful sect of the Flower Pavilion, as well as Nascent Soul Realm Experts like Zhao Wanqing and He Wujie?
"Greetings to you both."
Lu Hongyun thought for a mont and, taking Lu Liyu along, approached Zhao Wanqing and Fang Bai, cupped her hands and said, "I am Lu Hongyun from the Flower Pavilion. This is my adopted daughter, Lu Liyu. May I ask your honorable nas?"
Lu Hongyun felt that since Zhao Wanqing and He Wujie were both Nascent Soul Realm Experts, it was necessary to get acquainted. This would not only be beneficial to herself but also establish a good relationship for her sect.
As for Fang Bai, firstly, he was of a similar age to Lu Liyu, and their strength was not much different, marking him as a talented young one; secondly, her adopted daughter, Lu Liyu, had taken an interest in him, and the two had publicly embraced in front of nurous martial artists. Without a proper explanation, it might affect Lu Liyu’s reputation sowhat.
Therefore, Lu Hongyun ca over to make the acquaintance of He Wujie and Zhao Wanqing and to learn more about Fang Bai.
If she found Fang Bai trustworthy, then it wouldn’t be a bad match for her adopted daughter to beco a martial dao partner with him.
Although Zhao Wanqing hailed from a renowned cultivation family, she wasn’t arrogant or prideful. Seeing Lu Hongyun proactively greet her, she quickly responded, "Greetings, sister. My na is Zhao Wanqing. This is... my disciple, Fang Bai."
Since she and He Wujie had long beco martial dao partners, He Wujie’s disciple was essentially also her disciple.
The age difference between Zhao Wanqing and Lu Hongyun wasn’t large. Both were charming middle-aged won with similar personalities, so after a few words of conversation, they felt like old friends, addressing each other as ’sister’ and ’sister-in-law’ warmly.
"Sister Wanqing, this matter is actually between our Flower Pavilion and Zixia Manor, and you were innocently dragged into it. Rest assured, if disciples from Zixia Manor co looking for trouble, our Flower Pavilion won’t sit by and will certainly stand with you."
Lu Hongyun took Zhao Wanqing’s hand, speaking with affection.
Zhao Wanqing smiled with a purse of her lips, "That disciple from Zixia Manor spoke out of turn, insulting Liyu, so he deserved to die. My disciple acted chivalrously, and he did the right thing!"
Lu Hongyun glanced sideways at Fang Bai, suddenly asking, "Sister Wanqing, does your disciple have a martial dao partner?"
Zhao Wanqing looked thoughtfully at Lu Liyu and then at Fang Bai, smiling as if understanding sothing, "I’m not too sure either. Let ask for you."
She said this and then gestured to Fang Bai, who had quietly moved aside to watch the duel between He Wujie and Qiu Jianren, signaling him to co over.
Zhao Wanqing and Lu Hongyun’s conversation had been heard clearly by Fang Bai, who found it amusing yet helpless, thinking to himself how these two won were uninterested in the intense fight between He Wujie and Qiu Jianren, but were concerned about whether he had a martial dao partner, which seed quite pointless.
In his previous life, Fang Bai had many close female friends, and in this life, he was surrounded by beautiful won, never having to worry about such matters, yet here he was, surprised that they were worrying about it on his behalf.
"Did you call for , Master Mother?"
For Zhao Wanqing, his convenient master mother, Fang Bai showed the utmost respect. Seeing her beckon, he willingly approached.
"Co with ."
Zhao Wanqing spoke and acted directly, not liking to beat around the bush. She led Fang Bai to Lu Liyu and straightforwardly asked, "What do you think of this young lady?"
