Lu Yu's eyes were calm as he slowly said, "Zhu Qing, although the Spirit Hall is strong, it is not invulnerable.

I have a plan and don't want to rely on the power of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

To seek revenge, one must prepare for both scenarios: one is to strengthen oneself and suppress the Spirit Hall with thundering means; the other is to mobilize other forces to become the enemy of the Spirit Hall.

Only by attacking from both sides can we shake its foundation."

A glint flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, and she nodded and said, "I believe you, Lu Yu.

You will definitely get justice for them."

Xiao Wu clenched her fists and said firmly, "Lu Yu, we all believe in you! The debt owed by Spirit Hall must be repaid sooner or later!"

Lu Yu looked at the two of them, with warmth in his eyes, "With you here, I have confidence.

Let’s go, it’s late, let’s rest first.

Tomorrow, we will go hunt soul beasts and help Zhu Qing break through to the Soul Emperor level!"

As the moonlight shone down, the figures of the three gradually disappeared into the night. Only the flickering lights remained in the pavilion, reflecting a quiet atmosphere.

The sun was shining in the yard, and a breeze was blowing, causing a few fallen leaves to flutter gently.

Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing stood side by side in the courtyard, with the exquisite pavilion of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect behind them, the glazed tiles glowing with colorful light in the sunlight.

The two were talking in low voices. Zhu Zhuqing had a faint smile on her face, but there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Lu Yu was saying something with a smile and a relaxed tone, but his eyes kept glancing towards the courtyard gate, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Dong dong."

There was a clear knock on the gate, breaking the tranquility in the yard.

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, motioned her to wait, and then walked towards the gate.

As soon as the door opened, two young men were standing outside. The tall one had an upright figure and a handsome face, but there was a questioning look in his eyes; the other one was slightly shorter, with lively eyes and a gentle smile on his face.

The tall young man's gaze first fell on Lu Yu, paused slightly, and then moved to Zhu Zhuqing who was standing behind Lu Yu. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously.

He cleared his throat and bowed, "I am Chen Zidong, an inner disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. May I ask who you two are and what brings you here?"

Lu Yu looked calm, smiled slightly, and returned the greeting with a bow: "I am Lu Yu, this is Zhu Zhuqing. We are invited by the sect master and are not new disciples."

His voice was calm, yet it carried a confidence that was impossible to ignore.

Zhu Zhuqing stood aside, nodded slightly, with a cold temperament, but a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

She noticed that Chen Zidong's gaze lingered on her for a moment, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but she did not show it. She just stood quietly behind Lu Yu.

"Lu Yu? Zhu Zhuqing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zidong raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that the two names sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard them.

The young man behind him suddenly had a bright look in his eyes, and whispered in Chen Zidong's ear, "Brother Zidong, these two... seem to be from the champion team of the All-Continental High-Level Spirit Master Elite Tournament from half a year ago! Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing from the Emperor Team! They are the monstrous geniuses who won the championship!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zidong's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes swept towards Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing again with a bit of scrutiny.

He coughed dryly to hide the surprise in his eyes, smiled and bowed, saying, "So you are the two heroes of the Emperor Team. I have long heard of your names! I apologize for my rudeness.

Since you are a distinguished guest invited by the Sect Master, we will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, his tone still gentle: "Brother Chen, you are too polite. Take care."

After the two turned and left and the gate closed again, Zhu Zhuqing whispered, "The way Chen Zidong looked at me... I felt a little uncomfortable."

She frowned, her tone hinting at displeasure.

Lu Yu chuckled, reached out and patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't mind it, it won't hurt if this kind of person looks at you a few times.

If he really has any intentions, I will be the first one to not forgive him."

His tone was playful, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Outside the courtyard, Chen Zidong walked side by side with the young man, but his face was a little gloomy.

He frowned and looked at the young man beside him, whispering, "Old Li, why didn't you remind me earlier? Lu Yu and Zhu Zhuqing are from the Emperor Team, they are incredibly strong! I just... I was also..."

He didn't say anything else, but an embarrassed blush appeared on his face.

The young man scratched his head and said helplessly: "Brother Zidong, I just remembered it after hearing the name.

Seriously, Lu Yu is no ordinary person. I heard he reached the Soul Emperor level at the age of ten! Ten years old! A monster among monsters! Our Sect Master is full of praise for him. I heard he has a good relationship with the eldest lady, and even Sect Master Ning recognizes him.

"Ten-year-old Soul Emperor?"

Chen Zidong paused, his eyes filled with shock.

He is twenty-three years old this year. He practices diligently and has good talent, but he has barely reached the level of Soul Emperor 68, which is still a long way from Soul Sage.

And Lu Yu, already a Soul Emperor at the age of ten? How much stronger must he be now? He took a deep breath and murmured, "Such a gap... I'm in my twenties and only have this level of cultivation. Lu Yu's talent is simply terrifying."

The young man nodded and sighed, "That's right, I heard that he has a close relationship with the eldest lady, and Sect Leader Ning trusts him very much.

Brother Zidong, you were staring at Zhu Zhuqing just now. Fortunately, you didn't say anything out of line, otherwise..."

He shook his head, a hint of gloating in his tone.

Chen Zidong's face turned even redder, and he glared at the young man fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense! Let's go back and practice! I don't believe that I can't beat a young boy in this life!"

Although he said this, he felt bitter in his heart. Lu Yu's talent made him feel ashamed.

A few days later, a powerful soul power fluctuation suddenly came from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The air flow swept like a strong wind, and the light on the top of the glazed tower became bright and soared into the sky.

The entire sect was shocked, and the disciples looked up, their eyes filled with shock.

"It's the young lady! She's made a breakthrough!"

A disciple exclaimed in surprise.

The fluctuation lasted for a moment and finally dissipated slowly.

In front of the Sect Master's Hall, Ning Rongrong, dressed in white, walked out slowly. Her aura was more condensed than before, and the fluctuations of her soul power showed that she had broken through to level 59, and was only one step away from becoming a Soul Emperor.

There was a look of joy on her face, but her eyes suddenly lit up when she saw the people in the yard.

"Lu Yu!"

Ning Rongrong exclaimed, ran over quickly, and threw herself into Lu Yu's arms, hugging his waist, her tone full of surprise, "When did you come? Why didn't you tell me in advance!"

Lu Yu smiled and rubbed her hair, his tone gentle: "I have been here for a few days. I heard that you were in seclusion, so I didn't let anyone disturb you.

How's it going? Doesn't it feel good to have a breakthrough? "

Ning Rongrong raised her head, her eyes sparkling. "Of course! I'm already level 59! If I work harder, I can become a Soul Emperor!"

When she said this, she glanced at Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing beside her, but was suddenly stunned, "Xiao Wu, you... you are already a Soul Emperor? Lu Yu is also? You..."

Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. Xiao Wu covered her mouth and chuckled, a hint of teasing in her eyes: "Rongrong, you'd better put more effort into your cultivation, or you'll fall even further behind me."

Ning Rongrong curled her lips and looked at Lu Yu: "How did you break through so quickly? Going from Soul King to Soul Emperor is not something that can be achieved in just over a year! Tell me, is there any secret you haven't told me?"

Lu Yu laughed heartily, his tone relaxed: "There is no secret. Just practice hard, keep your feet on the ground, and you will naturally break through.

Look at Zhuqing, isn't she also level 59, the same as you?"

Zhu Zhuqing blushed upon hearing this and whispered, "How can I compare with you guys... Lu Yu and Xiao Wu's talents are simply beyond my reach."

There was a hint of self-mockery in her tone, but her eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at Lu Yu.

Ning Rongrong snorted and took Lu Yu's arm: "Humph, I have to catch up with you anyway! Lu Yu, you have to help me!"

Lu Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes full of pampering: "Okay, I'll help you."

In the hall, Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, his eyes swept over Lu Yu and others with a gentle smile on his face.

He said, "Rongrong's breakthrough happened just in time, Lu Yu, you guys came at the right time too.

Since Rongrong has reached level 59, why not take this opportunity to go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.

Uncle Jian, please accompany them."

Chen Xin, also known as Jian Douluo, walked out from the side, his aura as sharp as a sword, and nodded, "Okay."

Lu Yu suddenly spoke in a serious tone: "Master Ning, I have a suggestion.

Why don't you let me take Rongrong to the Star Dou Forest? When it comes to cultivation, you have to rely on yourself. External forces can only help temporarily and will not be of any benefit in the long run.

I promise that Rongrong will not be in any danger."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked at Lu Yu deeply, as if he was weighing something.

After a moment, he nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, Lu Yu, I believe you.

But you must ensure Rongrong's safety."

Lu Yu nodded solemnly: "I guarantee it with my life."

Ning Rongrong said with a smile: "Dad, you know how strong Lu Yu is. With him around, I'm sure I'll be fine! What's more, I can even give him some support!"

Ning Fengzhi laughed and exchanged a glance with Chen Xin. Chen Xin nodded slightly, indicating that he would follow secretly.

After chatting for a while, Ning Fengzhi and others gradually dispersed, leaving Lu Yu and Ning Rongrong in the hall.

When most of the people had left, Lu Yu suddenly hugged Ning Rongrong onto his lap, smiled and whispered, "Rongrong, I haven't seen you for a year. Did you miss me?"

Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed, she snorted, and turned her head away: "No! Who would want a playboy like you! In the past year, how many people have you hooked up with outside? Even Zhu Qing has been ruined by you! They say rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, but you specifically pick on grass near your burrows!"

Lu Yu was stunned, then scratched his head awkwardly: "Rongrong, you misunderstood.

Zhu Qing couldn't help herself, and as for Ah Qiong...it was an unexpected acquaintance, it's not as bad as you think."

Ning Rongrong glared at him and said angrily, "I don't believe it! You men are all bad!"

She said this, but there was a hint of smile in her eyes, and it was obvious that she was not really angry.

Lu Yu looked at her angry expression and thought it was very cute. He couldn't help but chuckle. His palm secretly operated the absolute domain and whispered in her ear, "Rongrong, you look so beautiful when you are angry.

However, we haven’t had a good time together for a while, how about…”

"Lu Yu! Don't mess around!"

Ning Rongrong's face was as red as a ripe apple. She pushed him without much strength, her eyes full of shyness.

The next morning, Lu Yu and his group of four set off for the Star Forest.

Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing talked and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was relaxed.

Ah Qiong followed Lu Yu, but his eyes glanced at him from time to time, with a bit of contempt, as if he was dissatisfied with his "love"

Quite a few complaints.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was quite a distance away from the Star Dou Forest, so the four of them were not in a hurry to travel, so they simply slowed down their pace and treated it as a trip to enjoy the scenery.

The scenery along the way was beautiful, with gurgling streams and birds singing. Ning Rongrong was in a good mood and held Lu Yu's hand and chattered non-stop.

"Lu Yu, what kind of soul beast do you think we can hunt this time? I want a more powerful soul ring, preferably one that can enhance my auxiliary abilities!"

Ning Rongrong said excitedly.

Lu Yu smiled and responded: "Don't worry, there are countless soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, and you can always find one that suits you.

Just don’t get carried away.”

Xiao Wu interrupted, "Rongrong, you better take it easy. Don't spend so much time picking and end up getting chased all over the forest by spirit beasts!"

As they were chatting and laughing, they heard footsteps in front of them, accompanied by low conversations.

Lu Yu's eyes fixed and he signaled everyone to stop.

In the distance, seven or eight figures walked slowly towards them. They were all wearing the same black robe with a black tortoise embroidered on the back, looking very imposing.

"Xuangui Sect?"

Lu Yu frowned slightly and murmured softly.

He had heard of the forces on the continent. The Xuangui Sect was famous for its defense, and most of the disciples in the sect were Xuanwu souls, and they were quite powerful.

The leading man glanced at Lu Yu and the others, a cold look flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, judging from your attitude, are you going to the Star Dou Forest? How about we go together?"

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, his tone calm but with a hint of caution: "Thank you for your kindness, but we are used to being alone, so please don't bother us."

The man sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes: "A loner? Star Dou Forest is not a safe place. Children, you'd better be careful."

There was a hint of provocation in his tone, and the people behind him also gave him unfriendly looks.

Ning Rongrong frowned and whispered, "Lu Yu, these people don't seem to have good intentions."

Lu Yu smiled slightly, but a cold light flashed in his eyes: "It's okay, Rongrong, leave it to me."

He took a step forward, his aura suddenly changed, and the fluctuations of his soul power surged out like a tide, faintly pressing towards the people opposite.

The man's face changed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that Lu Yu was so young but had such strong soul power.

He snorted coldly and said in a deep voice, "What a big tone! If that's the case, let's see if you have the confidence!"

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, with mottled light and shadows cast between the branches and leaves. The air was filled with the scent of moist earth and the faint smell of soul beasts.

Lu Yu was dressed in a black robe and walked steadily in front, followed by Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and the indifferent A Qiong.

There are four people, three women and one man, with different temperaments, but they are centered around Lu Yu. The atmosphere in the team is relaxed but vigilant.

"Lu Yu, the spirit beasts in this area are not to be underestimated; we need to be careful." (End of Chapter)
