Chapter 1378: Kusanagi

Returning home, looking at the cold sukiyaki on the table, the two couldn't bear to waste it, so they reheated it with an induction cooker and ate it all up.

When sleeping at night, Chunzi locked the main door, then placed a stool at the entrance, and put a vase on the stool.

As long as someone came in at night, they would definitely push the chair, and the vase would also be brought down to the floor. At that time, the noise would definitely be loud enough to wake the two sleeping people.

It wasn't Chunzi's fault for being so careful; it was mainly because the scene of witnessing Luo Quan being stabbed just now was too horrifying. After living a peaceful life for so many years, this was the first time Chunzi felt that death was so close to her.

At this moment, she missed her relatives and friends extremely much. Living alone or with two people really lacked a sense of security; it was better to have more people to be lively.

After the matter of the Imperial Family's marriage proposal was resolved, she decided to leave Tokyo immediately to avoid encountering similar yandere fans again.

Compared to Chunzi, who had lingering fears, Luo Quan was much calmer.

Because although she was the one stabbed, it didn't pose any threat at all, and it was indeed not targeting her; it was a disaster that fell from the sky.

It was very rare to encounter this kind of thing once. If it happened twice in a row, this luck could immediately go out and buy a lottery ticket.

So Luo Quan wasn't worried about encountering any danger next.

Even if there was, it could be solved easily.

Of course, right now, she had to help Chunzi solve her trouble, and then take her to Hawaii to meet up with Wen Xia and the others.

"System, can the mall exchange for artifacts?"

Lying on the bed, Luo Quan started her "when in doubt, ask the system" routine.

"Currently, the mall cannot directly exchange for artifacts using popularity points, but do you remember a world the host visited before called the Star Sea Immortal Palace?"

"What's wrong with that world?" Luo Quan hadn't left for long, so her memory was quite deep.

"In that world, the mall can exchange for various magic treasures and artifacts, but the currency used is 'Immortal Source,' which needs to be obtained by experiencing some major events.

Just like in the Universe, you can exchange for various advanced potions through popularity points. The props that can be obtained in each world are different."

After hearing this, Luo Quan nodded: "Understood. It means I have to visit this Star Sea Immortal Palace whenever I have nothing to do, right?"

"If the host only wants to exchange for one or two artifacts, then experiencing one major event is basically enough."

"Ok, then let's set off."

Luo Quan didn't talk nonsense after hearing this, directly lying down and starting consciousness transmission.

If it was only one major event, then it would probably only be a matter of two or three days.

Putting it on Earth, the task would basically be done after one night.

Just right for tomorrow morning, the matter of her encountering an assassin could just happen to be on the trending search. Borrowing this matter to apply a wave of double pressure, she didn't believe she couldn't handle that group of bastards in the Imperial Family.

When Luo Quan came back to her senses, she found the scene in front of her familiar.

Her sister Su Ziyan was leading the way for her. She hadn't even entered the gate of the palace where her father lived.

That is to say, during the time she left, the time in this world had almost come to a standstill.

This was even more exaggerated than the Universe's two days for one!

"What's wrong?"

Su Ziyan saw her sister suddenly stop, turned her head and shouted.

"Nothing, it's been too long since I came back, so I have some feelings." Luo Quan made an excuse and looked up at the surrounding scenery.

On the outskirts of Lingyun Palace, there was a very wide moat, connected to both banks by a white arch bridge ten zhang long.

Luo Quan walked across the bridge and saw the river water under the bridge was clear to the bottom, and there was a large group of golden-red carp swimming back and forth in the water, which was very leisurely.

In Luo Quan's memory, these carp seemed to have quite a background; their name was Golden Scale Dragon Carp, very spiritual, and they would leap over the Dragon Gate every hundred years to cultivate into a human body.

It's just that Luo Quan had never seen such a strange thing; after all, her original body was only seventeen years old this year.

Crossing the Qingming Bridge, in front was the entrance to Lingyun Palace, but it was separated by a large open space paved with cyan stone bricks.

This was the drill ground. Usually, the elders of Lingyun Peak taught disciples here.

Luo Quan looked up and roughly estimated that the length and width of this drill ground should both be over three hundred meters. Standing three or four thousand people at the same time wouldn't feel crowded.

Now, there were several dozen disciples standing on the drill ground; they were the students who had passed the trial of the Ascension Platform before.

A tall, handsome man with black hair fluttering was carrying his hands on his back, lecturing these newly entered disciples.

This man was Luo Quan and Su Ziyan's father, Su Changye.

The lecturing process didn't last too long. After it ended, the man let an elder beside him take the disciples down.

Seeing this, Su Ziyan immediately waved to Luo Quan and walked over.

"Father."

Su Ziyan bowed to Su Changye, and Luo Quan also hurriedly raised her hand and nodded, but it looked a bit perfunctory.

"Ziyan is back. After a month of absence, what progress have you made in your cultivation?" Su Changye rolled up his long sleeves and asked kindly.

Su Ziyan replied respectfully: "Golden Core is imminent. The child dare not slack off. During these days, I have been practicing diligently, and my cultivation has progressed to the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, and the Qingdi Dao Method is also much more proficient than before."

"Not bad..." Su Changye nodded with satisfaction and looked at Luo Quan behind Su Ziyan again. "And you?"

This tone was slightly stiff. Even Luo Quan, this "stranger," felt a bit uncomfortable hearing it, so one could imagine how uncomfortable the former Su Quan was when facing her father.

Even though there was a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, Luo Quan still pretended to answer honestly: "Tenth layer of Qi Refining, I can break through to the Tongmai Period within seven days, and the foundation is solid. After reaching the Tongmai Period, the speed of cultivation growth will also be much faster."

"You have made a lot of progress. If you had realized it earlier, why would you have stayed in the school for so long?"

Su Changye said, took out a jade bottle from his arms, threw it to Luo Quan, and said: "This is the Dingyuan Pill. After taking it, it can raise the quality of your dantian by several levels.

Although there is still some distance compared to your sister, it is already considered not bad."

"Thank you, Father." Luo Quan bowed again.

Su Changye replied lightly: "This was asked for by your mother from the Danyang Hall; it has nothing to do with me. If you want to thank someone, thank your mother."

Luo Quan's mouth twitched. Why did her cheap father speak like an enemy, not caring about father-daughter affection at all?

"By the way, there is one thing you should prepare for immediately." Su Changye said to Luo Quan as if he suddenly remembered something.

"What thing?"

"I have arranged a blind date for you, the son of the Peak Master of Zuowang Peak, named Lu Min, who is currently accompanying your mother for a walk.

After a while, you go over and chat with Lu Min for a few words, striving to leave a good impression on him."

"This... I'm only seventeen, and I haven't even met this Lu Min..." Luo Quan showed a troubled expression, obviously dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Su Ziyan also said: "That's right, Father. Sister is still young, and arranging her marriage so early, is it a bit inappropriate?"

"I would like to arrange her marriage, but Lu Min has to agree!

I talked to Lu Baixin for a long time before I got this blind date opportunity. Whether it's decided or not depends on Lu Min's meaning!"

As Su Changye spoke, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he said to Luo Quan with slight anger: "Don't say any more. Just do as I arrange. Don't show a mournful face when you see him later, as if someone in the family died!"

"Yes." Luo Quan pretended to be helpless and chose to submit, already calculating in her heart how to make this marriage fall through.

It's strange to say, she seems to have encountered forced marriage things frequently these few days, and she doesn't know why.

As for Su Ziyan, she originally wanted to say something more to her father, but Su Changye had already turned around and left, not giving the sisters a chance to discuss at all.

After a brief contact, Su Yan knew what kind of person her "old father" was.

A very typical patriarchal style of ancient China: everything must be arranged by me for you.

And what I arrange for you must be the best; I don't allow you to refuse. If you have a little dissent, that's disobeying me.

Luo Quan had seen this kind of self-centered father in many costume dramas, but she didn't expect that one day she would encounter it herself.

No way, for the sake of Immortal Source, she could only cooperate for the time being. Anyway, when the time comes, she could make that young master who came for a blind date smoke with anger in a few words.

Thinking about it this way, Luo Quan's mood felt much better. She walked into Lingyun Palace, wanting to pay her respects to her mother first.

Lingyun Palace has seven floors. The first floor is the discussion hall, the second floor is the practice room, and the third floor is a garden.

This floor forms a world of its own, with mountains and water.

It's just that the mountains are artificial, and the water is also rootless water introduced by an array.

But there are many ornamental flowers in this world, which are very popular with female disciples, so many female disciples can be seen playing here on this floor.

Luo Quan's mother also likes to play here most when she is bored.

Sure enough, after Luo Quan arrived at the third floor, she saw her mother's figure after searching for a short while.

In terms of appearance, Bai Yueyao didn't give Luo Quan the same stunning feeling as Su Ziyan.

Perhaps due to age, the impression Bai Yueyao gave Luo Quan was more of gentleness, like a spring breeze brushing against her face, making Luo Quan feel warm all over.

And standing beside Bai Yueyao was a young man, handsome and with an extraordinary bearing, much more handsome than she had imagined.

This must be the blind date candidate, Lu Mintian, arranged by her father.

"Mother, I'm back." Luo Quan walked up to Bai Yueyao and called out softly, and Su Ziyan also bowed to pay her respects.

Bai Yueyao's face showed surprise: "You two have finally returned. I called you so many times before, and every time you said you were busy.

What, are you finally free now? I thought you had both grown up and didn't need to come home anymore."

It was clear that there was a hint of reproach in Bai Yueyao's words, and Luo Quan and Su Ziyan lowered their heads in unison.

"No matter how much we grow up, we are still your children. We've come back, haven't we? And we won't be leaving again for a short time, so we can spend more time with you, Mother," Luo Quan replied.

Bai Yueyao stroked Luo Quan's head and sighed: "Come to think of it, it's all your father's fault. He could have taught you at home, but he insisted on sending you both to the academy. I don't know what he was thinking."

Su Ziyan smiled lightly: "Father had his own considerations; after all, it was for our own good."

"By the way, Su Quan, you saw your father before you came, right?" Bai Yueyao asked.

"I did." Luo Quan, who had originally been smiling, immediately went from "sunny to cloudy" and replied in a deep voice.

"Then he should have told you about Lu Min, right? It just so happens he is by my side right now. You two can chat here, and I'll come find you later."

After saying this, without caring whether Luo Quan agreed or not, Bai Yueyao pulled Su Ziyan away, and suddenly Luo Quan and Lu Min were left alone.

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

Soon, Luo Quan found a stone table with several stone stools beside it, and the two sat on opposite sides.

Luo Quan was silent for a while, but still broke the silence first: "Hello, my name is Su Quan."

"My name is Lu Min."

"Nice to meet you."

"You're happy too soon."

"I..." Luo Quan almost blurted out a curse, and it took a great deal of effort to suppress the urge to swear.

"I've heard of you. You studied at Master Li Yan's academy for over half a year without any progress in your cultivation. Twelve years of cultivation, averaging one small realm every year and a half. This speed is unprecedented, and I'm afraid it will be hard to find anyone who comes after you."

Lu Min was still smiling, but this smile made Luo Quan feel extremely uncomfortable.

She had never been mocked like this in her life.

Since the conversation had reached this point, Luo Quan didn't bother with lady-like manners and smiled faintly: "Then you are praising me too much. As the saying goes, every generation produces its own talents; perhaps in the future, there will be someone with even worse talent than me?

Times are changing, don't jump to conclusions so easily about anything."

Lu Min looked playful: "If your talent were as sharp as your eloquence, you definitely wouldn't be in your current situation."

"I actually think my current situation is quite good. I don't have to compete with geniuses like you, I live a relaxed life every day, and my skin even has more luster."

"I find that we are both wasting time, don't you think?" Lu Min turned his head to one side, clearly not wanting to talk nonsense with Luo Quan anymore.

To be honest, Luo Quan had also had enough of Lu Min. He was a handsome young man, but his words were so sharp and mean, and he was so arrogant.

Truly not a decent person!

Luo Quan stood up and looked to the other side. Inadvertently, she saw a pond not far away, where the green colors were pleasing to the eye and the lotus leaves were lush.

"Meeting is fate. Before I leave, let me give you a poem," Luo Quan said, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

"You can write poetry?" Lu Min almost laughed out loud.

"I can do many things." Luo Quan shook her head and recited loudly: "Three lotus flowers float in the green pond, the raft can be moved by the lady's thoughts."

"What kind of strange poem is that?" Lu Min frowned. Although he couldn't understand it, it seemed to have a certain charm.

"If you don't understand, then forget it." Luo Quan laughed at the sky and walked away.
