Is this girl cultivating immortality? Yunling finds out!

Chapter 33 New Problems
A figure jumped down from the beam.

"Senior sister!"

While Lu Yu was still in a daze, Bai Xiaotang had already thrown himself into the man's arms.

"Senior sister. Senior sister"

Bai Xiaotang clutched Liu Nanshuang's sleeve tightly, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Liu Nanshuang hugged her junior sister, her eyes slightly red, twisting her sleeves with her fingers, gently wiping away the tears on Bai Xiaotang's face.

"You silly girl, you scared me to death"

Liu Nanshuang pinched Bai Xiaotang's cheek, then straightened her body, looked her up and down, and said:

"I'm glad everyone is alright."

When the two sisters from the same sect meet again, they naturally have a lot to talk about.

Lu Yu suddenly became an outsider, so he consciously came to the door.

While keeping watch for the two of them, he also listened to Liu Nanshuang's experiences over the past few days.

Bai Xiaotang really did as she said. When talking to her senior sister, she actually stopped stuttering:
"Senior Sister, how did you escape?"

"It's a long story."

Liu Nanshuang sighed:
"There was a guest official at the City Lord's Mansion in Wan City. He was seriously injured in a fight. Thanks to my husband who took out a top-grade elixir, he was able to save him. Perhaps good deeds pay off. The guest official heard that Xiaotang's identity had been exposed in the Qingling Sect. Knowing that this would implicate my husband, he immediately informed him in secret."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu and Bai Xiaotang nodded silently, waiting for what was to come.

But Liu Nanshuang paused, laughed at herself, and said:

"I thought I had kept my identity as a cultivator from Xizhou a secret from my husband for seven or eight years. Who knew he had already known it?"

"Oh?"

Lu Yu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then he listened to Liu Nanshuang continue:
"My husband told me about Xiaotang that day and explained directly that he already knew I was a cultivator from Xizhou. He then arranged all matters at the mansion and even pointed out a way for me to escape westward."

Liu Nanshuang sighed slightly and said:
"Now that I think about it, my husband managed to arrange everything in just half a day. He must have anticipated this day would come, and made all the necessary preparations in secret."

When Bai Xiaotang heard this, her eyes became red again.

Her brother-in-law, Liao Zhongnan, is truly a model husband.

Not only is he affectionate with Liu Nanshuang on a daily basis, he is also very caring towards his sister-in-law and never fails to respond to her requests.

Now that disaster is imminent, his first choice is to give up everything to save his wife.

This made Bai Xiaotang feel fortunate and touched, but also gave rise to a lot of guilt.

After all, if I hadn't insisted on being an undercover agent, I wouldn't have ruined the peaceful life of my senior sister and brother-in-law.

'A man should be like this!'

Lu Yu also affirmed what Liao Zhongnan had done, turned around and looked at Liu Nanshuang, and asked:
"Where is Uncle Liao now?"

“I don’t know about that either.”

Liu Nanshuang's eyes showed a trace of worry, and she murmured:
"Time was tight, so my husband didn't tell me the details. He just said he had some property in Hui'an City, on the border between the two continents, and asked me to take shelter there first. He wanted to stay behind to take care of some things and would reunite with me later."

"Well"

Lu Yu nodded, continued to pay attention to the movements outside the house, and asked casually:

"Then why did you end up in Wutong City after fleeing all the way west?"

Wutong City is located in the northeast of Wancheng. No matter how far Liu Nanshuang runs, she shouldn't come here.

Unexpectedly, Liu Nanshuang did not answer for a long time.

Lu Yu turned around in confusion, but was met with Liu Nanshuang's ambiguous gaze.

Bai Xiaotang also noticed that Liu Nanshuang looked a little strange at this time, and couldn't help asking:

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

Liu Nanshuang hesitated for a moment, then finally bit her lip and frowned as she said:

"I was planning to leave the city and head west, but unexpectedly I received this on the way."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of letter from his arms.

"what!"

When Bai Xiaotang saw the letter, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yu looked at it from a distance and saw that the cover of the letter was nothing special, except that there seemed to be an exquisite animal pattern painted in the upper left corner.

"Master, is he looking for you?"

Bai Xiaotang stared at the pattern with a look of surprise.

Liu Nanshuang nodded slowly, put the letter back into her arms, and said to Bai Xiaotang:
"Master seems to know you're in Wutong City, and that our identities have been exposed. He also knows I'll appear north of Wancheng. He arranged for a cultivator from the sect to deliver this letter to me."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Isn't the master that Liu Nanshuang mentioned a little too powerful?
It has only been a month since Bai Xiaotang's identity was exposed, and Xizhou is thousands of miles away from here, how could he know everything?
"Master, what did he ask you to do?"

Bai Xiaotang asked carefully. Liu Nanshuang shook her head and replied:
"Master only said in the letter that I should come to Wutong City to find you and that he would contact us later."

"We? Master, he... he has other plans?"

Bai Xiaotang was slightly stunned, and Liu Nanshuang continued:
"Well, when I arrived in Wutong City, I happened to catch the Qianlong Society's competition. I thought you might come to watch such a grand event, so I sneaked in to watch a few games. Who knew that in the end I would see you riding Mr. Lu on the competition stage..."

"Hey, what do you mean by riding me?"

Lu Yu protested:
"She was lying on my back!"

Bai Xiaotang covered her mouth and laughed through her tears, but Lu Yu muttered:

"Can your master tell fortunes? How come he knows everything?"

Liu Nanshuang rolled her eyes at Lu Yu and said:

"My master is the leader of the Xizhou Wendao Sect. Not only is his cultivation profound, but his intelligence is also far superior to that of ordinary people. Even without leaving the sect, he can still plan and strategize. For example, the battle of the Dragon Bone Cave that year was caused by him."

"Dragon Bone Cave?"

Lu Yu smacked his lips.

There were constant wars of varying sizes between the East and West Continents, and even someone like Lu Yu, who had been staying at home all year round and not caring about worldly affairs, seemed to have heard of the Battle of Dragon Bone Cave somewhere.

But at this moment he didn't have the heart to ask in detail, and just replied casually:
"If he's really that powerful, he should come find Xiaotang himself. You can't even protect yourself now, so why would I ask you to come here?"

"No, Master, there must be a reason why he arranged it this way."

The one who spoke for her master was Bai Xiaotang.

Seeing that Bai Xiaotang also defended the mysterious master, Lu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing more.

I don't know what kind of magic potion your master has poured into you. He didn't even come to your rescue when you were in danger. Now that he knows you are safe, he wants to assign you new tasks?
Seeing that Lu Yu seemed to dislike her master, Liu Nanshuang guessed Lu Yu's thoughts and said:
"Maybe Master knew that you, Xiaotang, were accompanied by a young, promising, and warm-hearted talent, so he let me come look for you without worry."

"Hey, don't, don't, don't!"

Lu Yu waved his hand quickly and said:
"Stop flattering me!"

Liu Nanshuang raised her head, looked at Lu Yu expectantly, and said:
"Since Mr. Xiao Lu can arrange a maid position for Xiao Tang, can you also help me?"

"no!"

Lu Yu refused outright:
"You two Western Continent cultivators, how dare you stay so blatantly with the daughter of the Wancheng City Lord? This is outrageous enough! And Miss Fang was willing to help Xiaotang before, originally out of..."

Lu Yu was halfway through his words when he froze himself.

In fact, he still didn't understand why Fang Ningyu helped Bai Xiaotang escape from Wancheng.

Maybe she and Bai Xiaotang developed feelings for each other during the few days they spent in Qingling Sect?
Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, considering Lu Yu's emotional intelligence, coming up with this reason is already the limit.

"She helped Xiaotang out of trouble because of their friendship."

As Lu Yu spoke, he nodded to himself, as if confirming his own thoughts.

"But what about you? You don't know Miss Fang, and she's still the daughter of the Lord of Wan City. Why should she come to your sworn enemy, Xizhou, to help you again and again?"

Liu Nanshuang listened to Lu Yu's chatter without getting anxious. She just nodded and said calmly:

"Well, actually, with Mr. Xiao Lu's means, even if he doesn't look for Miss Fang, he should be able to arrange a suitable identity for me, right? For example, your distant cousin?"

"?"

Lu Yu was stunned, and Liu Nanshuang continued:
"I'm also proficient in some disguise techniques. I just want to stay with Xiaotang. As soon as Master gives us new instructions, we'll leave immediately and won't drag you down."

"Walk?"

Lu Yu snorted coldly and thought to himself:

"Where are you going? To go on some new, life-threatening mission?"

He didn't care much about Liu Nanshuang's life or death, but Bai Xiaotang
After spending so much time together, he had already considered Bai Xiaotang a good friend, and perhaps there were some other feelings that he himself had not yet figured out.

Originally, the matter was over, and escaping safely back to the Beizhou Sect with Bai Xiaotang would have been the best outcome.

But Liu Nanshuang who suddenly appeared disrupted everything.

Lu Yu had a feeling that the mysterious Master Xizhou might order Bai Xiaotang to do something dangerous.

Lu Yu wanted to stop it, but he didn't know how to start.

First of all, what identity should I use to stop the other party?

Fellow Daoist? Doctor-patient?
Lu Yu was feeling upset when Liu Nanshuang's voice rang in his ears again:

"Alas, Mr. Xiao Lu and I just met by chance, so it's certainly not worth your risking so much to help."

Lu Yu looked at Liu Nanshuang, but saw Liu Nanshuang lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice:
"But Xiaotang and I have been sisters since childhood. No matter what task the master assigns, I will take care of Xiaotang first. If you help me, you are actually helping Xiaotang."

Liu Nanshuang looked up at Lu Yu, then changed the subject and said quietly:
"Besides, our Xiaotang was so affectionate with you in order to save you. Can't you think of another way?"

"Senior Sister! Don't!"

"???"
