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

"Master and Mistress."

"Good, good, you're finally back."

Seeing this, Su Ru looked at Li Qing'an, whom she hadn't seen for three years, and with a smile on her face, reached out to straighten his clothes that had just been messed up.

"You've grown taller and become much more handsome," Su Ru said, looking at Li Qing'an.

Li Qing'an stood tall and straight, with a handsome face. His clothes fluttered as he walked, as if he had an air of nonchalance. The only thing that remained unchanged was the faint smile at the corner of his mouth, as if all the troubles were irrelevant to him.

"Hmph, what's the use of being handsome? He's been chased around for three years and hasn't even sent a message back to the sect. He's unworthy of being my disciple, Tian Buyi." Although Tian Buyi was pleased, he was still dissatisfied and resentful when he thought about Li Qing'an's lack of news for three years.

"Huh? Being chased for three years, the Old Ancestor of Romance, is it?"

Li Qingan was somewhat confused upon hearing Tian Buyi's words.

He wasn't chased. Even when he escaped from the formation this time, he only did one thing on the way: flirt with You Ji. After that, he went straight back to Qingyun Sect and wasn't pursued!

At this moment, He Dazhi spoke up, "Junior brother, that Li Bai from Xiaochi Town, isn't that you!"

"You killed Lin Feng, who was invited by the Blood Refining Hall, didn't you?"

"So you haven't sent any messages to the sect in three years?"

Li Qingan nodded in agreement upon hearing these words. It was just a nickname; he hadn't expected to keep it a secret anyway.

Seeing that Li Qing'an looked somewhat confused, the several members of Dazhu Peak explained the situation to him one after another.

Li Qingan then realized and said frankly, "I wasn't being chased by Ancestor Fengyue. I was trapped in a formation. I only got out a while ago, and I went straight back to the mountain gate after that."

"What? Trapped in the formation for three years?"

The crowd shouted as they heard Li Qing'an say that he wasn't being chased. Although there was some misunderstanding, it was better than being chased.

Hearing Li Qingan say that he was trapped in a formation, he was even more horrified. This was even more serious than being chased; if he wasn't careful, he could die inside the formation.

Silently!

At that time, no one will even know where he died!

Tian Ling'er's heart, which had just calmed down, felt a sudden, sharp pain.

"I almost, I almost didn't get to see him."

She stepped forward and started crying again, carefully checking Li Qingan for injuries as she cried.

Everyone stepped forward to examine it closely.

"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."

Even Tian Buyi stopped putting on airs, came to Li Qing'an's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said.

“Uncle Tian, ​​now that Junior Brother Li is back, we won’t disturb your reunion.”

Meanwhile, Qi Hao, amidst the harmonious and friendly scene at Dazhu Peak, pulled Lin Jingyu, who was standing next to Zhang Xiaofan, and prepared to take his leave.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Tian Buyi was happy that Li Qingan was back. He turned to look at Qi Hao and said amicably.

"How dare you?"

Qi Hao bowed respectfully and replied.

Seeing this, Lin Jingyu also bowed and gave up the idea of ​​competing with Zhang Xiaofan.

He's just arrogant, not blind!

Then, Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan exchanged a glance. Seeing that Zhang Xiaofan no longer had a worried look on his face and was smiling, he was obviously happy about Li Qingan's return.

Lin Jingyu was relieved to hear this!

"Shu~"

Qi Hao and Lin Jingyu then soared into the sky on their swords and returned to Dragon Head Peak.

After the two left, the people of Dazhu Peak stopped holding back and kept asking Li Qing'an all sorts of questions.

"It's alright, I'm fine."

Seeing Tian Ling'er's red eyes and the tears welling up in her eyes, Li Qing'an patted her head and said...

Then it suddenly occurred to him that even the Great Bamboo Peak members thought they were being hunted, so wouldn't the entire Qingyun Sect think the same way? And what about little Xueqi...?

This is troublesome, this is troublesome. Li Qingan is starting to have a headache. It seems he has to go and appease one of them.

But then he thought about it again and decided not to worry about that for now; he could just find some time to go to Xiaozhu Peak later.

Watching the two leave, Li Qingan asked, "Those two must have been Lin Jingyu, Qi Hao and Xiao Fan's childhood playmates from the same village, right?"

Qi Hao had gone to Dragon Head Peak to borrow books, so he had naturally seen him before. The other person looked somewhat familiar, but he remembered that he was Lin Jingyu.

"It's them. They're the ones who informed us about the Seven Veins Martial Arts Tournament two years from now."

Song Daren looked at Li Qingan and said.

"Yes, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to catch up with the later martial arts competitions since you haven't been in touch for three years. We were afraid that you wouldn't be able to beat Senior Brother Qi Hao. Moreover, I think that Qi Hao has impure intentions. He actually said that Junior Sister was in a bad mood and wanted to give her some kind of cooling pearl."

"Pah! Do I need him to deliver it?"

At this point, the talkative He Dazhi finished explaining the matter in a few words and expressed his disgust for Qi Hao's behavior.

Chapter 48: A Reunion Three Years Later

We're all men, who doesn't understand whom!

He Dazhi saw through Qi Hao's thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say much at the time. Now that Li Qingan is back and Qi Hao is gone, he can speak his mind without restraint.

"Fourth Senior Brother, what are you saying? He gave it to me, but I didn't accept it."

Through He Dazhi's words, she also remembered that Qi Hao seemed to be trying to give her something in the hall just now.

As a result, when she heard Li Qingan's voice, she ran out and didn't collect it.

Fearing that Li Qingan might misunderstand, he spoke to He Dazhi while cautiously glancing at Li Qingan.

"Alright, alright, it's good that you didn't take it. If you want one, I'll make one for you later." Upon hearing this, Li Qing'an remembered that Qi Hao had used this Cooling Bead to win over Tian Ling'er.

Although he could see that Tian Ling'er didn't care, Li Qing'an still decided to refine a similar magic weapon for her, so that Tian Ling'er wouldn't suddenly think of that 'matchmaker' one day and cause trouble.

He didn't want to see Tian Ling'er being taken advantage of by an older man!

If you can forge divine weapons from the heavens, forging a 'Cooling Pearl' is a piece of cake!

After all, with the Xuanhuo Mirror in hand and the materials Xiao Luo found in that underwater formation, it won't take long. In the end, we can refine another one for Xiao Xueqi.

Upon hearing this, Tian Ling'er wiped her eyes and said happily, "You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word!"

"I keep my word. Why would I lie to you?" Li Qingan said calmly.

How can someone doubt me like this? Do I have no credibility at all?

Su Ru and Tian Buyi, who were watching the group reminiscing, exchanged a glance and shook their heads at the relationship between Tian Ling'er and Li Qing'an.

One is completely devoted to the other, while the other is completely oblivious to romantic feelings, seemingly treating them only as siblings.

"Hey."

The two of them sighed in unison.

It's good that Li Qing'an is back, but judging from his appearance, things aren't much better.

At this point, Li Qingan chatted with the others for a few more minutes.

Then suddenly I saw Zhang Xiaofan, who was silent and just grinning foolishly.

"Xiao Fan, how have you been these past three years? Just now, when I was flying on my sword, I noticed you were planning to have a match with your friend. Has your cultivation improved at all?"

"Senior brother," Zhang Xiaofan said honestly.

Upon seeing Li Qingan return, he felt the anger in his heart dissipate considerably.

"My senior brother taught me the incantation for the second level of the Jade Purity Realm a few days ago, and I've almost mastered it."

Li Qingan nodded, not at all surprised. Because Zhang Xiaofan cultivated both Taoism and Buddhism, his cultivation speed was extremely slow, taking three years to complete the first level. However, due to the foundation he laid in the previous three years, he was able to break through to the second level of the Jade Purity Realm very quickly.

His question now was also to prevent Tian Ling'er from secretly teaching him the incantation for the third level of the Jade Purity Realm.

To avoid being held accountable later when things are exposed!

Sure enough, right after Zhang Xiaofan finished speaking, Tian Buyi appeared beside Zhang Xiaofan in a flash and carefully checked Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level.

"You've actually succeeded in cultivating it. It seems I'll have to ask the boss to pass on the incantation for the third level of the Taiji Xuanqing Dao to you."

Su Ru walked over at this moment, looked at Zhang Xiaofan and said with a smile, "It seems that Xiaofan is also a genius who has accumulated knowledge and skills. Maybe he can really make it into the top four of the martial arts competition, just like Xiao An said three years ago."

"what?"

Zhang Xiaofan noticed that everyone was looking at him and felt a little embarrassed, but when he heard what Su Ru said, he was immediately shocked and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, Master's wife, I am only at the second level of the Jade Purity Realm, how could I possibly enter the top four of the Martial Arts Tournament?"

"Whether Xiao Fan can get in or not, this is already a double celebration. If Du Bishu comes back, it will be a triple celebration," Song Daren said with a smile.

"Ok?"

Li Qingan looked around but couldn't find Du Bishu anywhere.

"Sixth Brother has broken through to the fourth level of the Jade Purity Realm and has already gone down the mountain to find spiritual materials to refine magic weapons," He Dazhi said upon seeing Li Qing'an's actions.

Li Qingan nodded, not caring.

He had gotten used to Du Bishu's unconventional personality, and even with Du's guidance before he went down the mountain, it still took him three months to break through.

"To celebrate this double joy, it seems we'll have to trouble Xiao Fan to cook a few more dishes tonight," He Dazhi added.

"Okay, I'll take care of the cooking."

When Zhang Xiaofan saw that they were talking about his proudest achievements, he was no longer as timid as before. He waved his hand and spoke with great pride.

Seeing this, Li Qingan also shook his head.

He really is a peerless chef whose talent was wasted on cultivation!

Then, Zhang Xiaofan, surrounded by several people, walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing the harmonious atmosphere among everyone, Su Ru and Tian Buyi left with smiles on their faces. One flew towards Tongtian Peak on her sword, while the other flew towards Xiaozhu Peak.

Tian Buyi went to Tongtian Peak to tell Dao Xuan the news of Li Qing'an's return.
