Master and Disciple Meet

Chapter 85 Master and Disciple Meet

Li Chuqiu didn't move.

He didn't speak, nor did he remove his mask.

"What? Worried I'll find out your identity and background?"

Aunt Yun snorted coldly and rolled her eyes dramatically: "If I really wanted to investigate you, do you think you could hide it?"

Li Chuqiu did not refute this.

The intelligence network of "Human World" is spread throughout the Great Xuan Dynasty, leaving no stone unturned. Although Li Chuqiu is always extremely careful, if Aunt Yun really wanted to investigate him, she could expose him completely in no time.

"Hurry up, stop being so coy, take off your mask and let me see!"

Aunt Yun urged again.

She was indeed curious about this guy's background and origins.

After a moment's thought, Li Chuqiu slowly removed the mask from her face. As the dark, somewhat menacing mask fell away, a fair and handsome face came into Aunt Yun's view.

Although she had expected it, Aunt Yun was still momentarily stunned when she saw how handsome the boy was.

I was stunned, and somewhat taken aback!

This brat actually has such a handsome face?

He probably deceives countless young girls every day, right?

This slightly immature face has distinct features, no more than twenty years old, with delicate features and a scholarly and refined air. His features are extremely regular, clearly that of a young man in the prime of his youth—a handsome young man!

Aunt Yun couldn't help but sigh, and stared at him for a while longer, gradually becoming lost in thought.

Li Chuqiu felt somewhat uncomfortable under Aunt Yun's intense gaze—mainly because he was all too familiar with that look!

—He looks at other pretty women the same way on ordinary days.

So, to appear more natural, Li Chuqiu's gaze naturally fell on Aunt Yun as she stared at him in surprise.

The same old spot.

Until, for a long time.

The candlelight on the counter flickered, and Aunt Yun finally came to her senses.

"You little brat—"

She clicked her tongue lightly: "With a face like that, you must have ruined quite a few other girls, right?"

"Absolutely not!"

"Really not?"

Aunt Yun raised an eyebrow; naturally, she didn't believe it.

This young man is so handsome, and he's already of marriageable age. Plus, he has impressive martial arts skills—although he's not a cultivator, he's already a well-known martial artist in the lower three realms.

Such talented young people are sure to be highly sought after.

Let alone ordinary girls, even daughters of wealthy families would be tempted. Even she herself was somewhat captivated by her beauty just now—it was truly pleasing to the eye.

"No, really."

Li Chuqiu shrugged. "I'm still a virgin."

Perfect body?

Upon hearing this description, Aunt Yun's expression immediately became somewhat strange. She stared at Li Chuqiu up and down for a few moments, then suddenly burst out laughing.

She smiled brightly, her whole body trembling slightly, almost leaning on the counter.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a man describe himself like that, hehe————"

Seeing that it seemed to have tickled Aunt Yun's funny bone, Aunt Yun laughed nonstop. But this was a treat for Li Chuqiu, who got to feast his eyes.

"I've only ever heard of a woman's virginity; I wonder where yours is?"

After a while, Aunt Yun finally stopped laughing.

"Nature is within you."

"Let's take a look?"

Li Chuqiu shook her head: "A man's virginity is the same as a woman's; it cannot be touched or looked at, it can only be—"

Aunt Yun asked instinctively, "What's the only option?"

"You have to try it yourself!"

After saying this, Li Chuqiu suddenly took a step back, moving away from the counter.

As expected, Aunt Yun was taken aback when she heard this. Then, finally realizing what was happening, a flash of anger appeared on her fair face: "You brat, are you trying to flirt with me?!"

"Aunt Yun, you go first."

"Come here, I promise I won't hit you."

Li Chuqiu shook her head.

"You can forget about the rest of your spirit stones; consider it compensation for flirting with me."

Li Chuqiu: "?!"

'

'

"Aunt Yun, is there any other way?"

After a while, Li Chuqiu finally managed to appease Aunt Yun again, and then brought up the serious matter once more: "Is there really no other way besides seeking help from a first-level expert?"

"no."

Aunt Yun's face still seemed to have a blush that hadn't completely faded. She glanced at Li Chuqiu and said, "If it really is a case of the sea of ​​consciousness being sealed, there is basically no other way except for a first-level expert to unseal it."

"Where am I supposed to find a first-realm expert to help me?"

Li Chuqiu looked at Aunt Yun for help, but was met with a charmingly disdainful eye roll from Aunt Yun.

"Don't look at me like that, I don't have that kind of ability!"

"Aunt Yun, as the person in charge of 'the human world,' you must have connections, right?"

"Tsk, it's rare to hear you praise me. You always had a cold face when you came before, I thought you were just naturally averse to smiling."

Aunt Yun is cold-hearted; this kid was all smiles when he was begging her.

She wanted to refuse, but seeing how handsome he was, Aunt Yun hesitated.

—If this guy were a woman, he would definitely bring disaster to the country and its people.

"Even if I didn't have such a connection—how much would you be willing to pay?"

Aunt Yun smiled enigmatically: "What reward can you offer to make a first-realm expert risk expending their life force to help you break the seal?"

Li Chuqiu remained silent; this was indeed the biggest problem at the moment!

What is his status that allows him to invite a first-level expert?

"Are there any powerful figures at the first level who need disciples?"

Li Chuqiu thought for a moment and said, "I think I have pretty good talent."

"Hehe—you can't even open your sea of ​​consciousness, and you're bragging about it?"

Aunt Yun said calmly, "Those who can reach the first realm are all from prestigious families and great places. What they lack is never genius!"

"Unless you are a one-in-a-million genius, you won't even catch their eye."

"What if I am that one in a million, top-tier genius?"

"You little brat—"

Aunt Yun wanted to tease her a bit more, but seeing Li Chuqiu's serious expression, she stopped herself from saying anything.

After a moment, she suddenly asked softly, "By the way, what's your real name?"

Even after knowing him for several years, she still didn't know his name. Normally, Li Chuqiu referred to him as "July."

"Li Chuqiu".

"Li Chuqiu?"

Aunt Yun silently repeated it to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Now you're not afraid I'll investigate your background?"

"If Aunt Yun wanted to investigate, she would have done so already."

Li Chuqiu sighed, "What secrets could I possibly have in front of Aunt Yun?"

"Too."

Aunt Yun was satisfied with the answer and smiled sweetly: "I heard that a new envoy has been appointed at the Tianxuan Division in Yuhua City, named Li Chuqiu—could it be you?"

"Aunt Yun knows all this?"

Aunt Yun's eyes widened in surprise: "So it really was you, kid? You took the place of that young master from the Qin family; with such a big fuss, it naturally couldn't be kept secret."

"You've got some skills, kid. How did you manage to become a Chief Envoy of the Heavenly Mystic Division at such a young age?"

She was indeed somewhat surprised when she realized Li Chuqiu's true identity. However, when she thought about the secrets this young man held and his extraordinary physical body, she quickly felt relieved.

If this kid didn't have some skills, given his past reckless and adventurous actions, he probably would have died countless times already.

"Since you trust me so much, I'll tell you something too."

Aunt Yun casually remarked, "Right now, there happens to be a powerful expert at the first realm in Yuhua City."

"Who?"

"You've already seen it!"

We've already met?

In an instant, Li Chuqiu suddenly realized what was happening.

—That Taoist in the blue robe from earlier?!

Is she in the first realm?

Li Chuqiu's heart skipped a beat. When she looked up again, she met Aunt Yun's ambiguous smile: "What? Are you already thinking about how to curry favor with her?"

No, that's not the case.

Li Chuqiu shook her head, recalling the earlier apparent discord between the two.

"She's in the first realm?"

"Doesn't it look like it?"

"It certainly doesn't look like it."

"She is a genuine first-level expert, and currently—"

Aunt Yun was about to say something, but then stopped and said instead, "If she's willing to help, she can definitely break the seal on you."

"But whether you can get her to help depends on your abilities."

Li Chuqiu recalled the woman's aloof demeanor from earlier and realized that persuading her wouldn't be so easy!

However, this is indeed another once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

—After all, this was the person with the highest level of understanding he had ever met!

"Can you get Aunt Yun to help?"

What do you think?

Aunt Yun sneered, "I almost got into a fight with her just now. Do you think I could get her to do that?"

"She's at the first level of cultivation, does Aunt Yun dare to fight her?"

Aunt Yun puffed out her chest proudly: "Heh, so what if she's in the first realm? Do you think I'm afraid of her?"

Li Chuqiu glanced at it, her eyes trembling slightly.

"You brat, you dare look?!"

Li Chuqiu obediently looked away.

Aunt Yun snorted lightly, "That's all I can do to help you. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out yourself. She'll probably stay in Yuhua City for a while longer, so this is your chance. Whether you can curry favor with her and get her to lift the seal on you depends on your own abilities."

Li Chuqiu sighed, "Aunt Yun, you overestimate me. What merit do I have to deserve the help of a First Realm expert?"

"Why not?"

Aunt Yun glanced at him: "Doesn't she still owe you eight hundred spirit stones?"

Li Chuqiu said helplessly, "A mere eight hundred spirit stones, can you really persuade her to come?"

"Eight hundred spirit stones might not be enough to persuade her, but that woman is extremely trustworthy—this eight hundred spirit stones is your chance—"

Aunt Yun said meaningfully, "Whether you can make her owe you a huge favor depends on your own abilities."

"—"

Night fell over Yuhua City.

Tianxuan Division, small courtyard.

It was late at night, and the lights in the courtyard were on.

inside the room.

Liu Xu sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly circulating her inner energy. A layer of frost-like spiritual energy surrounded her, slowly rotating around her.

Until all the spiritual energy was absorbed into her body, Liu Xu opened her eyes. A look of astonishment appeared in her clear, cold eyes.

Today's spiritual practice seems particularly smooth?

I had initially thought that after my mind was disturbed today, I would have difficulty calming my emotions and my Dao heart would become increasingly shattered. However, when I pulled her into the immersion of cultivation, I found that my cultivation required even more focus than before.

This surprised her greatly.

What's going on?

She closed her eyes and quietly felt the changes inside the vehicle.

His injuries have not fully healed, and his cultivation level remains stagnant, having not recovered since his last fall.

However, she has improved considerably, and her breathing is much smoother—the inner demon that had troubled her for so long has not appeared again tonight?!

Previously, whenever she immersed herself in meditation, images of prolonged periods of time would appear in her mind, disrupting her meditation rhythm time and time again.

But today, it seems to be completely unaffected.

Could it be because during the day—

The moment this thought crossed her mind, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Liu Xu's eyes.

His emotions were clearly fluctuating, and he seemed somewhat dazed.

It seems he really wasn't lying to her?

Does being in a relationship actually work?

only----

The thought of all the things they did while "in a relationship" made her breath catch in her throat for a moment, and a blush rose to her cheeks.

"lecher!"

She kept a cold face and bit her lip as she made the vow.

Just then, there seemed to be some movement coming from the courtyard outside the door. Liu Xu suddenly looked up and quickly went to the door.

Under the bright moonlight, a figure in a green robe silently landed in the courtyard, seemingly draped in a sacred aura.

Cold and aloof, otherworldly!

"master?!"

Liu Xu, who had just stepped out of the door, was taken aback for a moment, then quickly went to greet her.

"Master, what brings you here?!"

"Xu'er!"

At this moment, the figure standing in the courtyard in a blue robe is none other than Liu Xu's master, the current Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and a powerful figure of the first realm of the world—Ye Qingwu!

When Tuo Yeqingwu's gaze fell on the willow catkins in front of him, he quickly frowned and realized that something was wrong.

"Xu'er, something's wrong with you!!"

Half a year has passed, and Xu'er seems to have grown up a bit. The experience of the past six months has made her lose a lot of her naivety and gain more maturity.

It seems that experience has indeed been helpful to her.

But soon, Ye Qingwu noticed something else—Liu Xu in his line of sight looked slightly pale. More importantly, her breathing was erratic.

This is absolutely abnormal!

"You're injured?!"

Ye Qingwu's expression changed slightly. Before Liu Xu could answer, she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Liu Xu's wrist, and soon her face turned completely gloomy.

"How could you have suffered such severe injuries? — And you've even fallen from your cultivation level?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Ye Qingwu's eyes widened, and his aura suddenly burst forth, as if to envelop the entire courtyard, his voice becoming even colder.

"Who hurt you?!"

Liu Xu's face grew even paler: "Master—"

Seemingly realizing that he had frightened his disciple, the aura suddenly dissipated the next second.

But Ye Qingwu's expression was extremely solemn and ugly. Had he fallen from his cultivation level?

How serious must the injury be?

How much harm and injustice has my precious apprentice suffered in the past six months?

"Such a serious matter, why didn't you inform your master? Why hasn't any news from Yuhua City reached the sect?!"

Faced with her master's questioning, Liu Xu lowered her head with a rare hint of guilt: "Master, I'm fine—"

"It's nothing serious, how could you get injured like this?! Nothing serious, yet your cultivation level has dropped?!"

Ye Qingwu could not possibly believe her disciple's nonsense; she was certain that the beggar was still putting on a brave face and deliberately preventing the message from getting back.

Seeing Liu Xu's increasingly guilty expression, Ye Qingwu seemed to see through something, and his expression changed drastically.

"Did you secretly use forbidden techniques?!"

"—Didn't I repeatedly tell you not to use it carelessly? Are you trying to drive your teacher crazy?!"

"!!!"
