Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 112 We’re back, all back!

Yu Liangmou's generous praise made Zhou Qing feel a little uncomfortable.

If he hadn't been able to tell through electromagnetic signals that the other party had no ill intentions, Zhou Qing would have thought that the other party was plotting against him.

Next, he continued to endure Yu Liangmou's enthusiastic praise.

Zhou Qing felt that he was like a kind elder who was very pleased to see a younger generation making progress.

After half an hour, the headmaster still hadn't come out. Zhou Qing couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Master, can I go in and report it again?"

Yu Liangmou seemed to suddenly come to his senses and said, "No need to inform them. The headmaster and Qingmu have gone to the Fengwei Mountains to discuss the Dao. I'm afraid they won't be back for two or three days."

Ah this...why didn’t you say it earlier!

Isn't this a waste of time?

Zhou Qing felt quite resentful, so he stood up and said, "Since that's the case, I won't stay any longer. Sister Qingyuan will stay here for the time being. I hope Uncle Master can take good care of her."

Yu Liangmou shook his head and said, "That won't work. How can the Purple Palace let anyone stay here casually? Why don't you take her back for now, nephew? When the headmaster comes back, you can send her back."

Zhou Qing looked at Qingyuan and saw that she was full of joy, as if she was hoping for his agreement.

He looked at Yu Liangmou again and saw that this strange Taoist was still looking at him with a smile, with an indescribable mystery in his expression.

Zhou Qing was a little puzzled by this Taoist priest, and he really didn't dare to entrust Qingyuan to him, so he had to agree to take her back first.

Just as the two were about to leave, Yu Liangmou suddenly stopped him and said, "Zhou Qing, if you encounter any difficulties in the sect in the future, please come and tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I will never refuse."

Zhou Qing was startled when he saw Yu Liangmou's unusually serious expression. He then bowed to him and left Qingyun Mountain with Qingyuan.

"Brother, who is that person? He seems to be very nice to you."

Qingyuan asked curiously.

Zhou Qing had already guessed Yu Liangmou's identity and said with a smile, "Isn't it natural for the sect elders to care for the younger generation?"

After returning to Ziyun Mountain, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a little worried.

How to relocate Qingyuan is a problem.

If he placed her in another garden, he would not worry about the issue of avoiding suspicion. People who practice cultivation are not bound by worldly etiquette and no one would care about the so-called suspicion between men and women.

Zhou Qing was just worried that if Qingyuan was settled in the villa, he would not be able to practice normally. This was the real problem.

If he had to sacrifice his personal practice time, he had to consider sending Qingyuan back to the Sutra Library.

Finally, he asked Qingyuan for her consent and settled her in the bamboo forest outside the villa.

Although in Zhou Qing's opinion, Qingyuan can be regarded as one of the weakest foundation-building cultivators, but she is still a foundation-building cultivator after all, and it makes no difference to them whether indoors or outdoors.

Living in a bamboo forest may not look good, but it actually has no impact.

Zhou Qing then settled Qingyuan in the bamboo forest, while he himself practiced in another garden.

When he had some free time during his practice, he would go out and chat with her to relieve his boredom.

Zhou Qing discovered that although Qingyuan looked dull, her temper was surprisingly good and almost nothing could anger her.

Every time he found her, she always had a silly and cute smile on her face, which made Zhou Qing feel relieved. Although he was a little reluctant to bring her back at first, he gradually got used to it after seeing that she didn't cause any trouble and almost never disturbed his practice.

Two days passed and it was time to distribute the monthly benefits.

The spirit stones in Zhou Qing's spirit stone cabinet had long been used up.

He now has a fixed amount of twenty-two medium-grade spirit stones every month, which is only enough for him to practice for about ten days.

So by the day when the spirit stones were to be distributed, he had already used up all the spirit stones a long time ago and was in a state of hunger and thirst.

Twenty-two medium-grade spirit stones are not a small number. Ziyun Mountain is different from Qingyun Mountain. It is right under the noses of various foundation-building pill masters, so safety issues have to be considered.

Zhou Qing always went to the General Affairs Hall to collect it in person.

That morning, he was planning to rush to Qingyun Mountain to collect spirit stones, but he heard Qingyuan talking to someone outside, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

He opened the door and found a beautiful woman standing there. She was tall and well-proportioned, and she had a mature charm that came from years of experience.

The woman seemed interested in Qingyuan sleeping on a bamboo bed, so she asked her a few questions, and then she heard the courtyard door open.

She guessed that it was Zhou Qing, so she put on a gentle smile and said, "Are you Zhou Qing?"

Zhou Qing nodded and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman smiled and said, "I am Lu Qiushui, the new elder of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall. Today is the day when spirit stones are distributed to formation masters. I saw that you live far away, so I personally brought them to you."

New elder?
How come I haven’t heard of it? Shouldn’t the appointment of elders go through the sect conference? I haven’t heard of any sect conference recently.

Zhou Qing was puzzled. He took the spirit stone, checked it to make sure it was fine, and said, "Why would it be worth it for the elder to make a special trip just for a few spirit stones?"

Lu Qiushui smiled and said, "Don't bother me. I just wanted to come and see you."

Zhou Qing's heart moved, and he immediately understood. He bowed to Lu Qiushui once again as a disciple, and said respectfully, "Greetings, Uncle Master."

If he guessed correctly, the person in front of him, together with Yu Liangmou whom he had met two days ago, were all uncles who had returned to the sect in response to the orders of Uncle Mu Zhuosha.

Lu Qiushui understood that Zhou Qing had recognized his identity and said with a smile, "As your uncle, I should have given you some gifts, but unfortunately, you've been living a decadent life these past few years and haven't saved anything. And the eldest sister said you don't need spirit stones, so I had no choice but to come empty-handed."

"From now on, if you encounter any difficulties in the sect or outside, just tell me and I will never refuse."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Uncle Master, what are you talking about? In the past, I only had Uncle Master Qingxuan in the sect to rely on. Now, I am so happy to be cared for by all the uncle masters. How can I ask for gifts from all the uncle masters?"

"I wonder when Master Uncle will come back?"

Lu Qiushui said, "Just arrived the day before yesterday."

Zhou Qing asked curiously, "Shouldn't the appointment of elders be approved by the sect assembly? Why haven't we heard any news about the sect assembly?"

Lu Qiushui said shyly, "The headmaster is not at home, so the sect assembly cannot be held. Senior Sister asked me to take the position first, and then I will be recognized posthumously at the sect assembly later."

She knew that this behavior was extremely against the rules, but she couldn't change her mind with the eldest sister, so she had to take the position reluctantly. Fortunately, the current head of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall, He Huifeng, and Elder Chengguang were weak in character and especially did not dare to offend Mu Zhuosha, so they had no objection to Mu Zhuosha's arrangement.

Another thing that made her very curious was that according to the eldest senior sister, if she wanted to secure the position of elder, it would most likely fall on this young nephew in the end.
