I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

Li Qing'an looked at Lu Xueqi's location from the air. Through the bamboo forest, he could only see the hem of her clothes. However, as someone who had created the ability to transmit sound over thousands of miles, he could hear everything within a ten-mile radius.

In other words, Xiaozhu Peak had no secrets from him tonight, but he, who considered himself a gentleman, disdained to use such methods. He simply narrowed the area to about one kilometer, but he could still hear Lu Xueqi's footsteps.

Lu Xueqi looked up and saw Li Qingan flying towards her out of thin air. She panicked and quickly straightened her clothes, as if she wanted him to see that she was doing well.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er, who noticed Li Qing'an's unusual movements, also jumped off the stage and followed closely behind Li Qing'an, but she was much slower than Li Qing'an.

Chapter 24 The Agreement Between the Two Women to Meet and Fight

"Why did you come all this way? You didn't even come to see me. You're being so formal, Xueqi."

Li Qingan greeted Lu Xueqi, who was standing under the bamboo grove.

Hearing the familiar tone of voice and seeing the familiar face before her, Lu Xueqi felt as if she had found a pillar of support and asked in return, "How have you been these past few years?"

"Really? You don't know anything about all the commotion I've caused in the past two years?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qingan, who was just about to show off in front of Lu Xueqi, also pretended to be sad.

"I know, I know all that. I just wanted to ask how you are, but you seem to be the same as always."

Lu Xueqi suppressed her joy and tried to keep her tone calm as she looked at Li Qingan, who was making a fool of himself in front of her.

“You’re still the same as ever, quiet and reserved. I used to have to take care of you, but that’s not possible now. In a few years, you’ll be all grown up. Remember to speak up if you have anything on your mind, otherwise it will be very tiring,” Li Qingan said to Lu Xueqi earnestly.

Then, thinking of Shuiyue's unpredictable personality, he added, "However, you must not learn from your senior sister Shuiyue."

"Don't talk about my master." Lu Xueqi rolled her eyes at Li Qingan, then, remembering what Li Qingan had said, she quickly asked, "And what did you mean by saying you can no longer take care of me?"

"See? You're cuter like this." Li Qingan smiled as he looked at Lu Xueqi's expression, then patted her head and said, "I'll be going down the mountain to train soon. It'll probably be a few years before I come back. By then, you'll be all grown up and able to take care of yourself."

Hearing this, Lu Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief. At least they weren't ignoring her!

Lu Xueqi, who understood what cute meant, remained silent, because she knew that this had always been the case; the more she argued, the more Li Qingan would tease her.

"And you don't know, my senior sister Shuiyue made things difficult for me this time. If I didn't really have something important to do, I don't think I would have been able to make it up the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xueqi thought of Shuiyue's personal persuasion to come out and see Li Qing'an, smiled, and didn't tell him.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er, who arrived late, saw the two chatting and laughing, and her pleasant mood vanished instantly. She asked Li Qing'an a question.

"Li Qing'an, who is this junior sister?"

"this...."

Upon hearing Tian Ling'er's voice, Li Qing'an wondered why the two of them, who hadn't met or spoken to each other in the two years since Xiaozhu Peak, didn't know each other.

Just as he was about to speak, Lu Xueqi interrupted him.

Lu Xueqi corrected Tian Ling'er's slip of the tongue: "Junior Sister Ling'er, I am Lu Xueqi, and I became a disciple of Xiaozhu Peak two years ago."

Two years ago?

When Tian Ling'er heard the key point, she realized that Li Qing'an had also come up the mountain two years ago, as had this disciple from Xiaozhu Peak. Could it be that the two of them had some kind of relationship?

Moreover, she had seen the two chatting happily before, which didn't seem like they had only met today.

Tian Ling'er carefully examined Lu Xueqi for a few moments and found that this person had an exceptionally beautiful face and a wonderful figure, which she herself could not match in any way.

Thinking of this, Tian Ling'er couldn't help but feel dejected. Being outshone by a woman who was suspected to be Li Qing'an's childhood sweetheart made her feel uneasy, but she still stubbornly insisted on her words.

"Junior Sister Lu, it's not certain yet which of us is the senior sister."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingan immediately sensed something was wrong, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no apparent reason.

Li Qingan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, trying to ease the atmosphere, but having been single in both his lives, he couldn't think of a way to ease the tension no matter how hard he tried. He could only decide to introduce Tian Ling'er to him.

"Ling'er, this is Lu Xueqi, who came up the mountain with me two years ago. We grew up together."

Li Qingan thought to herself, "We've been together for four years, so we've practically grown up together."

He then introduced Lu Xueqi, saying, "Xueqi, this is my master's daughter, my junior sister."

"Greetings, Junior Sister Ling'er"

With Li Qingan's barely appeasement, Lu Xueqi still managed to greet Tian Ling'er.

Ling'er, who was very perceptive, heard Li Qing'an introduce the two of them in completely different ways, and could even detect the difference in their familiarity. She couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and snorted, but still returned the greeting.

Seeing the two of them in a barely harmonious state, Li Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief, but the other half of his breath came as they started talking again.

"I wonder why Senior Sister Lu has come to the Moon Gazing Terrace so late at night?"

"Then, junior sister, why have you and brother Qing'an come here?"

Lu Xueqi also asked in return, and even called Li Qing'an "brother," which made them seem even more intimate.

Tian Ling'er felt that she couldn't win an argument with her, and she felt frustrated. She had grown up being pampered, and when had she ever been so frequently bullied?

At this moment, Li Qingan sensed something was wrong and quickly changed the subject: "I'll go check on Xiao Luo."

Then it flew towards the Moon-Viewing Terrace.

At this moment, Xiao Luo, who had been forgotten, had completed her first cultivation. She was floating about ten feet above the ground, searching for Li Qing'an at an extremely fast speed.

Upon seeing Li Qing'an, it quickly flew over, shrinking to a suitable size and landing on his shoulder.

"Wow, it can even change size!"

Li Qingan held him in his hand, looking at Xiao Luo, who was about the size of a figurine, and examined him from left to right and weighed him up and down.

We discovered that although Xiao Luo had shrunk a bit, she had gained a lot of weight, as if she had grown up.

Li Qingan looked at the tortoise and asked, "Xiao Luo, can you understand me?"

The little turtle nodded quickly, its head rubbing against his sleeve.

"This is?"

Lu Xueqi and Tian Ling'er also gathered around, looking at the strange turtle in Li Qing'an's palm.

At this moment, Tian Ling'er answered quickly: "This is Xiao Luo, Qing An found her at Dazhu Peak, and we're very close."

"Thank you for your explanation, junior sister."

Seeing that Lu Xueqi didn't react much, Tian Ling'er, feeling bored, also stopped talking.

“Xiao Luo had some symptoms before, and that’s why I came to Xiaozhu Peak,” Li Qingan explained, looking at Xiao Luo.

Lu Xueqi frowned slightly, then relaxed, the speed of which was so fast it seemed like an illusion.

"Ling'er, why don't you go back first? I need to talk to Xueqi about something."

Li Qingan hadn't forgotten what had just happened. He felt that if the two of them stayed in the same place, it would be troublesome, and he would need to ease the tension. He thought it better to let Ling'er go back first.

"Ok?"

Tian Ling'er first widened her eyes, wanting to refuse, but seeing Li Qing'an's serious gaze, she had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

He then left, looking back every few steps, and went to Su Ru to cry and complain, feeling unhappy.

After one person left, Li Qingan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Are you worried that we'll start arguing?

Lu Xueqi looked at Li Qingan with a puzzled expression.

“She is my junior sister. My master’s wife and master have treated me well. If you two start fighting, I won’t be able to explain myself when I go back.”

Li Qingan nodded, then said, "It's inconvenient for me to stay at Xiaozhu Peak for too long. Xiao Luo needs to cultivate at Wangyue Terrace a few more times to solidify her cultivation. I'll leave it with you here, and I'll come back to you to retrieve it a few months later before I go down the mountain to travel."

"Don't worry, it's very easy to take care of. Just give it some food every day so it doesn't starve."

Li Qingan placed Xiao Luo in Lu Xueqi's hands.

"Also, are you planning to cultivate the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique?"

"right"

Seemingly afraid that Li Qing'an would persuade her not to cultivate, her tone was firm, and she looked directly at Li Qing'an.

"I have a method here that uses moonlight to refine the body, which can reduce the damage from your cultivation of the true technique and enhance your recovery speed."

Li Qingan didn't pay attention to Lu Xueqi's words. Everyone has their own things to do, and there's no need to force others to listen to you.

He suddenly remembered Tian Ling'er's initial resistance and how he had told her there would be no aftereffects and that her body wouldn't change drastically.

Li Qingan touched Lu Xueqi's forehead with one finger, passing on the method to her.

This little trick was something he developed on his own to solve the problem of transmitting the Dharma.

Lu Xueqi looked at Li Qingan's fingers without resistance, letting him place them on her forehead, thinking to herself, "After all, I already owe him enough, so a little more won't matter."

Lu Xueqi felt as if a profound and extraordinary method had appeared in her mind: "Pressing the icy wheel acupoint, swallowing a thousand acres of snow..."

"And this..."

Li Qing'an then placed several good Taoist books on sword control and telepathy, which he had prepared beforehand, into her palm.

Lu Xueqi stared blankly at the Taoist magic in her hand and Li Qing'an. After two years apart, she had wondered what it would be like for them to meet again, but when they actually met, she had a thousand words in her heart but didn't know where to begin.

"Don't just stand there. You were just as blank-minded when you were little. I'll teach you the Taoist techniques and body-refining methods. I hope we can meet in the finals of the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament five years from now."

"it is good"

Lu Xueqi ignored Li Qingan's bad words about her, first agreed, and then said seriously, "I know you are very capable now, but don't hold back when the time comes."

"Okay, okay, it's a deal." Li Qing'an coaxed her just like he had done years ago, thinking to himself, "If I don't hold back, will I make you cry? Then I'll have to comfort you anyway, why should I suffer like that?"

Hearing these words meant to coax a child, Lu Xueqi frowned, looked up at Li Qingan, and said seriously, "I'm serious."

"Okay, I understand. Xiao Xueqi is serious."

Li Qingan didn't mind, and reached out to touch her hair again, ruffling it.

"I'll leave Xiao Luo to you for now. Don't worry about its cultivation; I have a method to pass it on."

"It's getting late, so I'll be leaving now. Remember to cultivate diligently. When you reach a higher level, I'll take you down the mountain to travel around."

Li Qingan glanced at the moon's position, said a few words, bid farewell to Lu Xueqi, and then flew back to Dazhu Peak on his sword.

He couldn't possibly stay at Xiaozhu Peak for long; he suspected that Shuiyue might be watching him from somewhere.

Lu Xueqi stood still, holding Xiao Luo in her hand, silently watching Li Qingan's departing figure on his sword, a faint smile on her face.
