Chapter 1413

After returning home, seeing that the sukiyaki on the table had already cooled, the two of them couldn't bear to waste it, so they reheated it on the induction cooker and then ate it all up.

When going to sleep at night, Chunzi locked the main door from the inside, and then placed a stool at the doorway, with a flower vase on top of the stool.

As long as someone comes in at night, they will definitely knock over the stool, and the strange flower vase will be brought down with it to fall to the ground; by then, the commotion will surely be loud enough to wake the two sleeping people.

It's no wonder Chunzi is being so careful; mainly, the scene just witnessed of Luo Quan being stabbed was too shocking, and after so many years of peaceful life, Chunzi still felt for the first time that death was actually so close to her.

At this moment, she extremely misses her relatives and friends; living alone or with just one other person really lacks a sense of security, and it's still better to have more people around to make it livelier.

Once the royal family's marriage proposal matter is settled, she decides to leave Tokyo immediately to avoid encountering similar obsessive fans again.

Compared to the still-frightened Chunzi, Luo Quan is much calmer.

Because although the person who was stabbed was her, it caused no threat at all, and it was indeed not aimed at her; it belonged to a flying misfortune.

Encountering such a thing once is already rare, let alone happening twice in a row; this luck means she can immediately go out and buy lottery tickets.

So Luo Quan is not worried about encountering any danger in the future.

Even if there is, it can be easily resolved.

Of course, for now, she must first help Chunzi solve her trouble, then take her to Hawaii to meet up with Seeing Wen Xia and the others.

"System, can the mall exchange for divine artifacts?"

Lying down on the bed, Luo Quan began to consult the system when in doubt.

"The mall currently cannot directly exchange heat value for divine artifacts, but the host previously visited a world called Xinghai Xian Palace; do you remember?"

"What happened to that world?" Luo Quan had only just left not long ago, so her memory is quite vivid.

"In that world's mall, various magical treasures and divine artifacts can be exchanged, but the currency required is xianyuan, which needs to be obtained by experiencing some major events.

Just like in the Wan Yu, you can exchange heat value for various advanced potions, and the obtainable items differ in each world."

After hearing this, Luo Quan nodded: "Understood, meaning I have to go to that Xinghai Xian Palace to take a look whether I have something to do or not, right?"

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

"Ok, then let's set off."

Luo Quan, after hearing this, had no nonsense and directly lay down to begin consciousness transmission.

If it's just one major event, then it's probably just a matter of two or three days.

Spending one night on Earth to complete the mission should basically be settled.

Coincidentally, when she wakes up tomorrow, her encounter with assassins will just be able to hit the hot search; taking advantage of this to apply double pressure, she doesn't believe she can't handle that bunch of royal scoundrels.

When Luo Quan came to her senses, she found the scene before her eyes seemed familiar.

Elder sister Su Ziyan was leading the way for her; she now hasn't even entered the main gate of her father's residence palace.

In other words, the time she has been away, this world's time has almost fallen into stagnation.

This is even more exaggerated than the Wan Yu's two days to one day!

"What's wrong, huh?"

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

"Nothing, it's just been too long since I came back, so I have some feelings." Luo Quan gave a perfunctory reply, raised her head, and surveyed the surrounding scenery.

Outside the Lingyun Palace, there is a very wide moat, and together with both banks, there is a white arched bridge ten zhang long.

Luo Quan walked over the bridge, seeing the river water below clear to the bottom, and also a large group of gold-red carp swimming back and forth in the water, very leisurely.

In Luo Quan's memory, these carp seem to have quite a background; their name is Jilin Longli, very spiritual, and every hundred years they leap once over the Dragon Gate to cultivate into human form.

However, Luo Quan has never seen such a marvel, after all, her original body is only seventeen years old this year.

After crossing the Qingming Bridge, ahead is the entrance of Lingyun Palace, but in between lies a large area paved with blue stone bricks.

This is the drill ground, where usually the teaching elders of Lingyun Peak instruct the disciples.

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

Currently, several dozen disciples are standing on the drill ground, exactly those students who had passed the Dengxian Tai trial.

A tall, handsome man with flowing black hair stood with his hands behind his back, giving instructions to these newly initiated disciples.

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

The instruction did not last too long; after it ended, this man let an elder beside him lead the disciples away.

Su Ziyan, seeing this, immediately waved at Luo Quan and then walked over.

"Father."

Su Ziyan bowed to Su Changye, and Luo Quan also quickly raised her hand and nodded, though it seemed somewhat perfunctory.

"Ziyan is back, huh? It's been a month since we last saw; how has your cultivation progressed?" Su Changye rolled up his sleeves and asked with a pleasant expression.

Su Ziyan respectfully replied: "I am about to form the golden core; the child dares not be lax, and these days I have diligently trained, my cultivation has advanced to the ninth layer of foundation establishment, and the Qing Emperor Dao Law is also much more proficient than before."

"Not bad..." Su Changye nodded satisfiedly, then turned his gaze to Su Ziyan's behind Luo Quan, "And you?"

This tone was somewhat stiff; even if Luo Quan, this "stranger," heard it, she would feel somewhat unpleasant; one can imagine how difficult it was for the former Su Quan when facing her father.

Despite having many grievances in her heart, Luo Quan still pretended to be honest and replied: "I am at the tenth layer of qi refinement, and can break through to the meridian-unblocking stage within seven days; moreover, my foundation is solid, and after reaching the meridian-unblocking stage, the speed of cultivation growth will also be much faster."

"You have improved quite a lot; if you had awakened earlier, why would you have stayed in the academy for so long?"

Su Changye said while taking out a jade bottle from his bosom, threw it to Luo Quan, and said: "This is the Dingyuan Pill; after taking it, your dantian quality can be raised by several levels.

Although compared to your sister there is still some distance, it is already quite good."

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

Su Changye lightly replied: "This is what your mother obtained from the Danyang Hall; it has nothing to do with me; if thanks are due, thank your mother."

Luo Quan's lips twitched; this cheap father of hers speaks like an enemy, not caring at all about father-daughter affection.

"By the way, there's something you need to prepare quickly." Su Changye seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Luo Quan.

"What is it?"

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

"Later, go over and chat a few words with Lu Min, try to leave a good impression on him."

"This... I'm only seventeen, and I've never even met this Lu Min..." Luo Quan's face showed difficulty, clearly dissatisfied with this arrangement.

Su Ziyan also spoke up: "That's right, Father. Younger sister is still young; arranging a marriage for her this early, isn't that a bit improper?"

"I'd like to arrange a marriage for her, but that still requires Lu Min's agreement!

I talked with Lu Bai Xin for a long time before securing this blind date opportunity; whether it's settled or not still depends on Lu Min's wishes!"

As Su Changye spoke, a nameless fire rose in his heart, and he said to Luo Quan with slight anger: "Don't speak further. However I arrange you, you just do it. When you meet him later, don't wear a long face, like someone died in the family!"

"Yes." Luo Quan pretended to helplessly choose submission, but inside she was already calculating how to make this marriage fall through.

Come to think of it, it's strange; these past few days I seem to keep running into forced marriage situations. Don't know why.

As for Su Ziyan, she originally wanted to say more to Father, but Su Changye had already turned and flicked his sleeves away, not giving the sisters any chance to discuss.

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

A very typical ancient Huaxia patriarchal style — everything must be arranged by me for you.

And what's arranged for you is definitely the best; refusal is not allowed. The slightest objection is defying me.

Luo Quan had seen this kind of self-centered father in many period dramas, just never expected to encounter one herself one day.

No choice. For the sake of the immortal origin, she could only cooperate for now. Anyway, when the time comes, a few words from her would make that blind date Young Master angry enough to smoke.

Thinking this way, Luo Quan's mood improved considerably. She headed toward Lingyun Palace, wanting to first go pay respects to Mother.

Lingyun Palace has seven floors. The first floor is the Grand Council Hall, the second floor is the cultivation room, and the third floor is a garden.

This floor is a world unto itself, with mountains and water.

Only the mountains are artificial hills, and the water is also rootless water drawn in by an array.

But this world contains many quite ornamental flowers, much liked by female disciples, so many female disciples can be seen playing here on this floor.

Luo Quan's mother also most liked to come here to wander when bored.

As expected, not long after Luo Quan arrived at the third floor, she saw her mother's figure.

In terms of appearance, Bai Yueyao did not give Luo Quan as stunning a feeling as Su Ziyan.

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

And beside Bai Yueyao stood a young man, handsome in appearance and extraordinary in bearing, much more handsome than imagined.

This should be the blind date target Lu Min Tian arranged by Father.

"Mother, I've returned." Luo Quan came before Bai Yueyao and called softly. Su Ziyan also bowed in salute.

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

How is it? Now you finally have time? I thought you'd both grown up and didn't need to come home anymore."

One could hear there was some reproach in Bai Yueyao's words. Luo Quan and Su Ziyan both lowered their heads in unison.

"No matter how big we grow, we're still your children. We're back now, and won't be leaving again for a while. We can keep you company more." Luo Quan replied like this.

Bai Yueyao stroked Luo Quan's head and sighed: "Speaking of it, it's all your father's fault. He clearly could teach you at home, yet insisted on sending you two to the academy. Who knows what he was thinking."

Su Ziyan smiled faintly: "Father has his own considerations. After all, it's for our own good."

"Right, Su Quan, you saw your father before coming, didn't you?" Bai Yueyao asked.

"I did." Luo Quan, who still had a smile on her face, instantly turned "clear to cloudy" and answered in a low voice.

"Then he should have told you about Lu Min's matter too. Coincidentally, he's right here beside me now. You two chat here. I'll come find you later."

Finished speaking, not caring whether Luo Quan agreed or not, Bai Yueyao pulled Su Ziyan away, instantly leaving only Luo Quan and Lu Min alone together.

The two faced each other, the atmosphere rather awkward.

Soon, Luo Quan found a stone table. There were several stone benches beside it. The two each sat on one side.

Luo Quan was silent for a while, then still broke the silence first: "Hello, I'm Su Quan."

"I'm Lu Min."

"Nice to meet you."

"You're happy too early."

"I..." Luo Quan nearly blurted out "RNMMP", taking tremendous effort to hold back the urge to curse.

"I've heard of you. You studied at Li Yan Xianshi's academy for half a year, cultivation didn't advance an inch. Twelve years of cultivation, averaging one minor realm every year and a half. This speed is unprecedented, and probably won't have a successor in the future either."

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

In this life, she had never been mocked like this.

Since the conversation had already become like this, Luo Quan no longer bothered with ladylike grace. She smiled faintly: "Then you're overpraising me. As the saying goes, Jiangshan produces talented people in each generation. Who knows, maybe later someone with even worse talent than me will appear?

Times are developing. Don't jump to conclusions so easily about anything."

Lu Min's face was full of mockery: "If your talent were as formidable as your eloquence, you absolutely wouldn't be in your current predicament."

"I actually think my current predicament is pretty good. No need to fight with you geniuses. Living easy every day, my skin even has more luster."

"I discover we're wasting time. What do you think?" Lu Min turned his head to the side, clearly not wanting to waste more words with Luo Quan.

Truthfully, Luo Quan was also fed up with Lu Min. A quite handsome young man, yet his words were so sharp and mean, and so arrogant.

Truly not acting human!

Luo Quan stood up, turned her head to the other side. Unintentionally, she saw a pond not far away. The pond's green color was pleasing, lotus leaves spread densely.

"Meeting is fate. Before leaving, I'll give you a poem as a send-off." Luo Quan's lips curved up slightly as she spoke.

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

"There's a lot I know." Luo Quan shook her head and recited loudly: "Three lotus roots float on the jade pond, a raft can follow tender thoughts."

"What weird poem?" Lu Min frowned. Though he couldn't understand it, it seemed quite flavorful.

"If you don't understand, forget it." Luo Quan laughed to the sky and swaggered away.
