They are the women standing behind me.

Gu Yirou laughed dryly, "But Yunmei, you said Elder Mei wouldn't do this for no reason...right?"

Ye Yunmei's scalp tingled. What on earth did Gu Yirou mean?

Is it to make her agree with what she said?

Make her feel that she is right?

Let's take a step back, no, let's take ten thousand steps back. How could a powerful figure like Mei Xueshuang, who is about to enter the Hedao realm, look down on Qin Xingyuan, who is only in the early Jindan realm?

Gu Yirou is really bold!

"Yirou, why do you care so much?"

Ye Yunmei seemed to be deliberately joking and teasing, "Do you have to interfere with your junior brother Qin's search for a Taoist partner in the future? If you don't like him, then uh huh~ he can't marry her?"

Gu Yirou glared at Ye Yunmei in anger and shame, but if she really trained and taught Qin Xingyuan well, after investing so much time, effort and energy into it, and Junior Brother Qin really became a successful person, why did he become the property of another woman?

When she thought about it, she felt very unhappy, uncomfortable and displeased.

……

at the same time.

Lu Guangze, a handsome, white-robed, casual cultivator at the Tribulation Realm, arrived at a certain location. Grand Elder Nangong Xin stood up with a smile on his face and said politely, "Fellow Daoist Lu, for stepping forward earlier. Our sect is truly grateful."

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you are so polite. The elders of your sect once saved my life, gave me guidance, and even gave me some treasures to help me on my path to becoming an immortal. It is only right and proper for me to say something."

Lu Guangze smiled lightly and sat down. Nangong Xin took the teapot from the table and poured Lu Guangze a cup of spiritual tea. Then he asked casually, "Does fellow Daoist Lu like my sect's Qin Xingyuan very much?"

"I like his talent. This talent is truly unprecedented. He has already achieved such combat power within a few months of entering the early Golden Core Realm. If he can hone his skills and improve them for a few more years in this realm..."

Lu Guangze said calmly, "I think if this boy grows up, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Sect will be able to leverage his influence to become the largest force in the Far South, recreating the glory of the past when Xu Chengdao founded the sect."

"Daoist Lu, you are really joking. My sect's Qin Xingyuan is not worthy of Daoist Lu's high regard."

Nangong Xin smiled broadly, pulled out a storage bag, and said politely, "If our sect's Qin Xingyuan really goes out to travel and gain experience, if Fellow Daoist Lu is nearby, I hope you can lend a hand and give him a good scolding on behalf of our sect. He...may not be the kind of person who stays quiet and low-key after all."

Lu Guangze had spoken before, so naturally he had to express his opinion.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, this Sword Sect doesn't dare to ask for the Heavenly Suppression Immortal Sword."

Lu Guangze said meaningfully, "Besides, although I am just a mere casual cultivator who is not worth mentioning, I am out there every day, facing life and death, living a life that may not be tomorrow. I have experienced countless storms, great disasters, and life and death. If I were blind, I really wouldn't even know how I died. How could I sit here and chat happily with Fellow Daoist Nangong?"

In fact, when Nangong Xin saw that Lu Guangze didn't take the storage bag at all, he knew in his heart that he wanted something else.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, our sect has some connections with you. If you have anything to say, why don't we speak openly? At our level, there's no need to beat around the bush. We can be straightforward."

Nangong Xin chuckled and said, "Those who can agree will definitely agree, and I will make the decision alone. But for those who cannot agree, Fellow Daoist Lu, please do not force them."

"Fellow Daoist Nangong is truly a straightforward person. He knows that I am looking for a disciple who will satisfy me. After all, if I ever reach the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Realm and fail to pass on my skills, and die, it would be a truly devastating loss to have no one to pass them on to.

Lu Guangze smiled faintly. "Whether it's an individual or a faction, the continuation of the legacy is always the most important thing. Unfortunately, the beloved disciple that someone like me can look up to is even harder to find than the rare Heaven and Earth Dao Fruit."

Nangong Xin just smiled, neither saying anything nor responding, looking like he was pretending to be deaf and dumb.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, I want the descendants of Qin Xingyuan's bloodline."

Lu Guangze said bluntly, "Even if his bloodline's descendants are half as good as his, well, they certainly aren't half as good, so I'm sure he'll be more than qualified to be my beloved disciple. Besides, I've been personally teaching him since birth, so it must be even better. So, since I can wait, why should I waste time looking for him? I also believe that before your sect lets him travel and gain experience, you'll have to let him leave his bloodline behind. I understand all the unwritten rules of the sect."

"Fellow Daoist Lu, it's really hard for me to decide on this matter. Besides, our sect's Qin Xingyuan may not be interested in women. Perhaps he is not interested in women and is determined to pursue the great Dao. If he doesn't want to find a Daoist partner, our sect will not force him or forcibly distort his wishes."

Nangong Xin looked calm and generous, saying, "And I believe that Fellow Daoist Lu will definitely find a beloved disciple who can satisfy you in the future. The things in this storage bag are our sect's gift to Fellow Daoist Lu's beloved disciple."

Lu Guangze just smiled and stood up. "Fellow Daoist Nangong, I will stay in your sect for a while. I am sorry to bother you for a while. We can discuss Taoism from time to time in the future."

Then he turned around and left without taking Nangong Xin's storage bag.

Nangong Xin raised his eyebrows as he looked at his back.

Chapter 40? Which one do you like?

……

The next day, the sun rises.

Mei Xueshuang, dressed in purple, cold as ice, noble and dignified, was swinging on a swing in an empty yard. She looked very lonely, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Not long after, Mei Xueshuang saw Ye Yunmei and Gu Yirou coming together.

"Elder Mei."

The two of them greeted each other respectfully.

Ye Yunmei looked at the cold and serious Mei Xueshuang, and suddenly remembered what Gu Yirou said yesterday, and felt a little strange in her heart.

This Elder Mei looked cold and icy, his entire body exuding an aura that kept people at a distance, and he was already at this level...

She genuinely felt that Elder Mei was unlikely to want to be in a relationship anymore.

She also sighed secretly in her heart. Her best friend and sister Gu Yirou was simply amazing.

How imaginative and daring!

Gu Yirou asked respectfully, "Elder Mei, is my Junior Brother Qin busy?"

"Deepen your study of alchemy."

The coldness of Mei Xueshuang's words chilled people to the bone, as if even their blood and qi had frozen. "In about half an hour, it will be time to deepen our study of talismans. He's a very busy man at the moment anyway, and his schedule is packed every day. There's no need to worry about running out of things to do."

She seemed to remember it clearly.

Of course, she also felt that Qin Xingyuan was a man who could endure hardships.

Just by looking at it, she felt that it was not only busy, but also absolutely tiring and difficult. Since she felt this way just by looking at it, let alone Qin Xingyuan who was actually doing it...

Especially since this was not just one or two days, but day after day, but he really never complained about the hardship or being tired. Instead, he seemed to be enjoying the pleasure of deepening his learning and was completely immersed in it.

Mei Xueshuang felt a little emotional. He was more talented than others, but he also made the most of every moment, working diligently and hard to constantly enrich and improve himself...

Just as Gu Yirou was about to speak, she heard a familiar voice, "Three young friends."

Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei, and Mei Xueshuang all turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound, and saw a young and handsome man in a white robe standing not far away.

He did not exude any power, but standing close to him, they felt as if they were looking at an unfathomable vast ocean, as if a huge invisible pressure was looming over them. They were not only filled with awe, but also with a deep and chilling fear.

Any cultivator would be in awe of a cultivator significantly higher than themselves, because it would be so easy for them to be killed. Faced with a being that could easily decide their life or death, who wouldn't be like a mouse seeing a cat? How could they truly not have the slightest fear?

Naturally, they recognized this person.

They had all seen Lu Guangze stand out before, and Chen Taishang of the Sword Sect also addressed him as fellow Daoist. They knew that he was a great independent cultivator who had reached the Tribulation Realm.

"Meet Senior Lu!"

The three of them greeted them respectfully in unison, but although Gu Yirou appeared calm on the surface, she was actually extremely uneasy and worried inside.

Because she was certain that this important person was definitely here to see her Junior Brother Qin.

But Junior Brother Qin's personality...

But he shouldn't be in front of such a great figure in the Tribulation Realm...

After all, how could Junior Brother Qin really be so tactless?

However, Gu Yirou seemed to be unable to convince or deceive herself anymore. She was becoming more and more restless - maybe her junior brother Qin really dared to do it!

She didn't even know what it was that he, a self-proclaimed leader without precedent or successor, dared not do or say!

Gu Yirou seemed to have a telepathic connection with Ye Yunmei. The two good sisters and best friends suddenly looked at each other and saw the worried and uneasy look in each other's eyes.

Gu Yirou steeled herself, seemingly feeling immense and invisible pressure from the presence of such a prominent figure. Her voice became deeper and more serious as she asked, "Senior Lu, are you here looking for Junior Brother Qin?"

"of course."

Lu Guangze smiled slightly and walked towards the entrance of the pavilion.

Gu Yirou took a deep breath, her heart pounding, and she and Ye Yunmei hurried to catch up.

Mei Xueshuang also followed.

As Lu Guangze came in, Qin Xingyuan paused his studies and respectfully greeted the elder who taught him alchemy.

Lu Guangze put his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Xingyuan.

Is this kid born with the courage to fear nothing, or is it because he has only been practicing for such a short time that he is like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger?

Even at such a close distance, she didn't show a mixture of respect and fear towards him like Ye Yunmei and the others did before?

But respect without fear?

So Lu Guangze said, "Friend Qin is truly an interesting young man. I'm sure he wouldn't let me come here in person only to return disappointed."

Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei, Mei Xueshuang, and even the elder who taught Qin Xingyuan how to make pills were all confused. What on earth was this great cultivator from the Tribulation Realm doing here?

After all, if such a big shot as him is really fine, would he take the initiative to meet a young cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm?

Lu Guangze said with a half-smile: "I want to ask you a question."

"ask questions?"

Although Qin Xingyuan was taken aback, he decisively blurted out, "Senior Lu, please ask."

Mei Xueshuang and others were a little slow to react.

A person at the Tribulation Realm asking a question at the Golden Core Realm?

Is this a mistake?

Lu Guangze didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Qin Xiaoyou, do you... like women?"

"?"

Ye Yunmei, Gu Yirou and Mei Xueshuang were obviously stunned.

Qin Xingyuan's body shook violently, and a huge wave rose in his heart.

Difficult, could it be...

With 'I'm straight' written all over his face, he looked like a...

Gay?!

Just like him, if he really had no doubt that Senior Sister Gu liked women, would he ask her whether she liked men?

Qin Xingyuan thought about it and suddenly felt heavy in his heart.

This is a really serious and grave question - could it be that a great figure in the Tribulation Realm like Lu Guangze would have such a ridiculous illusion when looking at him?

"Because there really are people in this world who love each other, and people who are gay, and so on."

Lu Guangze spoke without any hesitation, "Even if you haven't seen it, you must have heard of it, right? So a man doesn't necessarily like women, he may like men. I also saw such people when I was in the Nascent Soul Realm."

Qin Xingyuan was truly extremely serious. He spoke loudly and emphatically, "Senior Lu, I like women!!! No matter how much time has passed!!! Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, and the sky and the earth crack!!! This will never change!!!"

"is it?"

Lu Guangze was talking and laughing calmly, "My dear Qin, I think these three young female cultivators here are like spring orchids, autumn chrysanthemums, summer lotuses, and winter plum blossoms. Each has its own beauty and charm. You..."

Lu Guangze's words were like a sharp sword, slashing fiercely with murderous intent. "Which one do you like?"

……

[Handsome and handsome men, I beg for your recommendation votes~]

Chapter 41? The older sister looked at the younger brother, the more...

Qin Xingyuan now had a strong suspicion: Could it be that Lu Guangze, this great figure in the Tribulation Realm, disliked him and was deliberately causing trouble for him?

Otherwise, why the hell is this happening?!

And although Qin Xingyuan was sure that Ye Yunmei and Mei Xueshuang should not have any interest in him, but this kind of problem, haha, as a woman, would care more or less in her heart.

Because this is used to compare with others!

What's more, they are all geniuses, so there is always a bit of arrogance in their bones and blood. It is impossible for them to be completely free of it.

So who likes to be outdone, especially by a powerful figure?

Even if you blow his head off, he still won’t believe it!
