You don't need to be anxious; take your time with the Emperor Flowing Liquid, after all, you still have time,\" Jiang Qing said, her golden eyes looking at Li Luo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo looked at the drop of Emperor Flowing Liquid that Jiang Qing had handed over, somewhat stunned, and immediately shook his head: \"This is very useful for you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor Flowing Liquid is a top-tier cultivation resource of the Astral Sage College; such things are hard to buy with money alone outside. It is said that Jiang Qing will attempt to break through to the Heavenly Dipper General stage this year, so she actually needs the Emperor Flowing Liquid very much as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have more channels to earn points than you do, and I heard news that the Dark Cave might open early this year. That is where the bulk of the points come from, so you don't need to worry about me,\" Jiang Qing said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, stop nagging, let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand and turned to leave, looking incredibly cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo watched her slender, tall back, feeling a bit helpless. Yan Lingqing, who was beside him, leaned over and said with a smile: \"Are you moved to tears?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo sighed: \"I want to offer myself in return, but there is no way to do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Lingqing rolled her eyes at him: \"In your dreams.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aren't you leaving yet? Don't you see that the people around are wishing they could swallow you whole?\" she reminded him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo scanned his surroundings and indeed discovered that many students were gnashing their teeth as they looked at the bottle of Emperor Flowing Liquid in his hand. They had likely never imagined that someone would be willing to give such a top-tier cultivation resource to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Li Luo, he really is living the good life by relying on his woman, isn't he?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is Jiang Qing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being engaged to her is already enough to make people feel heartbroken, and now, Jiang Qing is even willing to use the points she worked so hard to earn to exchange for Emperor Flowing Liquid for Li Luo...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is truly enough to make one lose their mind with jealousy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just these students; even that exchange instructor had an extremely complex expression. After all, the instructor was also a man, and he had once been a student at the Astral Sage College, so he understood what kind of blessing it was to meet a girl like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this Li Luo... save the world in his past life?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling the many complex gazes, Li Luo was afraid that their emotions would spiral out of control and harm him, so he quickly slipped away with Yan Lingqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Point Hall, Li Luo, Jiang Qing, and Yan Lingqing headed straight out of the Astral Sage College. Outside the college, where the crowds flowed back and forth, the carriage of House Luolan was already waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounding the carriage were elite guards of House Luolan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, once outside the Astral Sage College, the safety factor began to drop. Although it was unlikely that anyone would truly take such a risk, it was still necessary to take precautions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of the House Luolan carriage, a tall, curvaceous figure stood wearing a cheongsam. Her figure was graceful, with curves that were quite breathtaking. Some of the Astral Sage College students passing by couldn't help but steal glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such a proud figure that could only be compared to the Princess, who else could it be but Cai Wei?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cai Wei saw Jiang Qing, Li Luo, and Yan Lingqing coming out, a smile immediately appeared on her smooth, charming, oval face, and she waved her flower-patterned fan at the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them walked up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei first greeted Jiang Qing and Yan Lingqing, then turned to Li Luo with a beaming smile: \"Young Master, how was the freshman experience?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo waved his hand and said: \"I originally wanted to cultivate in a low-profile manner, but things didn't go as planned, and I could only take first place in the team ranking during the monthly exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei was a bit surprised, then said with a charming look in her beautiful eyes: \"Then that is truly congratulations to you, Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if the Young Master is so happy, could you please settle the secret method source water as soon as possible? This month, not only is the Tianshu County Xiyang House urging me, but the Xiyang House headquarters is also wishing they could send someone to follow me every day to ask for it,\" Sister Cai Wei said gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt a chill run down his spine as he was looked at by those beaming, beautiful eyes. He subconsciously supported his waist—no way, I just finished my break, and I'm already being squeezed dry?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Cai Wei, don't be in such a hurry, let me catch my breath,\" Li Luo said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei covered half of her smooth, charming face—which was more beautiful than a flower—with her fan and teased: \"Young Master, at such a young age, you should be in your prime; you can't be weak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo glared: \"I am not weak at all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that the two were veering off-topic, Jiang Qing quickly blocked them and chided Cai Wei: \"Sister Cai Wei, stop teasing him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cai Wei laughed softly: \"Qing'e is feeling protective.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Luo felt helpless. He looked around and found that Lu Qinger was not there, which made him feel a bit confused, as they had agreed to leave together earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the Young Master looking for Lu Qinger? She was waiting for you here earlier, but it seems someone from the Golden Dragon Treasury came, so she had to leave first,\" Cai Wei said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Li Luo nodded and said: \"Then let's go too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, the group boarded the carriage and gradually drove away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drove away, behind them, on a luxurious carriage with golden dragon patterns, a beautiful woman in a red dress withdrew her gaze and then looked at the young girl beside her with a scrutinizing eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qinger, you haven't fallen for that brat Li Luo, have you?\" she asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger's heart skipped a beat, but her pretty face remained calm: \"Mother, what are you talking about? Li Luo and I are just friends. He helped me a lot back at the Nanfeng Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi looked at her suspiciously and said: \"Look at the girls around that brat Li Luo; they are in groups. He is clearly a flirt. You had better stay away from him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger felt a bit guilty, because if one were to really talk about it, wouldn't she also be considered one of the girls around Li Luo?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This has nothing to do with Li Luo. Cai Wei and Yan Lingqing are both friends of Jiang Qing and work for House Luolan. It's normal for them to be by Li Luo's side,\" Lu Qinger argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi said indifferently: \"Li Taixuan was never a good thing, and his son will be even less of a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger looked at Yu Hongxi in surprise: \"Mother, did you... used to like Li Taixuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi said calmly: \"So what? Although Li Taixuan was not a good thing, he was indeed very outstanding. Back then in this Great Xia, how many noble ladies were infatuated with him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger thought thoughtfully: \"In the end, everyone lost to Dantai Lan? Mother, you are so beautiful... and you failed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi reached out and pinched Lu Qinger's cheek, saying: \"You dare to mock your mother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger hugged Yu Hongxi with a giggle and said: \"I just find it incredible. After all, Mother, you are so beautiful and elegant, and you manage the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury so well. You are truly capable of handling both the household and the accounts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi curled her lips and said: \"It was just a bit of a crush on Li Taixuan when I was young; there's nothing to regret. Besides, Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan came to Great Xia together. If I had met Li Taixuan first, there would have been no place for Dantai Lan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger suddenly asked: \"Then what about Instructor Cao Sheng of the Astral Sage College? Mother, you should know that he took me as a student, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi said indifferently: \"Just a loser who admired your mother back then. He was able to become a Marquis because I gave him a helping hand. Later, he wanted to pursue me, but I rejected him. So he took a hit, hid in the Astral Sage College to become an instructor, and I haven't seen him for many years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person looks rugged and bold, but in reality, he can't take the slightest blow; he's just like a child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger's expression was strange; the image of Instructor Cao Sheng as a great figure in her heart was starting to crumble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, he is not a bad person, and he has some eye for talent, knowing to take you as a student. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother seeing him for the rest of my life,\" Yu Hongxi said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger said helplessly: \"If it weren't for Instructor Cao Sheng, I'm afraid I wouldn't have become a Purple Brilliance student with my seventh-grade resonance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi touched Lu Qinger's small face and smiled: \"Where is it seventh-grade? Your birthday is in a few days. Over the years, Mother hasn't treated you poorly regarding spirit water and wondrous light. According to my estimation, you should be able to raise your ice resonance to the eighth grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Qinger was pleasantly surprised: \"Really?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in Tianshu County, Lu Qinger's high seventh-grade resonance was eye-catching, but after arriving at the Astral Sage College, where geniuses from all sides emerged, her high seventh-grade resonance could only be considered excellent, and it was a bit difficult to stand out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger hadn't paid much attention to this originally, but recently Li Luo's rise had been too rapid, and Lu Qinger didn't want to be left too far behind by him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Jiang Qing has a ninth-grade resonance!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you opened your resonance palace, the amount of spirit water and wondrous light Mother has given you over the years is a huge number, so it's not surprising that you've evolved to the eighth grade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi smiled slightly and said: \"Consider it your birthday gift.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi is the helmsman of the Great Xia Golden Dragon Treasury. The resources she can mobilize, to be honest, will likely far exceed those of forces like House Luolan, so for her daughter's future, she has paid a considerable price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger hugged Yu Hongxi and acted spoiled, but in those eyes that were like ice lakes, there was a slight sense of regret. Because, in truth, regarding Yu Hongxi, what she had wanted to ask about most since she was a child was news about her father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's just that regarding her father, Lu Qinger only had some impressions from when she was a child. Later, it seemed her father left home and there was no more news, and Yu Hongxi was extremely stubborn and strong-willed, simply treating him as if he were dead, ignoring him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the years, Lu Qinger didn't dare to ask too much, because whenever she asked, Yu Hongxi would lose her temper, leading Lu Qinger to bury these things deep in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother, can I invite some classmates for my birthday?\" Lu Qinger asked in Yu Hongxi's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi's wise eyes scanned her and said: \"That Li Luo must be among them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Qinger said: \"Li Luo really helped me a lot before. You can't have a prejudice against him just because of your generation's reasons.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Hongxi shook her head helplessly, wanting to refuse, but thinking that it was Lu Qinger's birthday, she didn't say anything more in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you wish.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Lu Qinger's small face, which instantly bloomed with radiance, and her brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unhealthy trend really shouldn't be encouraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was one thing for Li Taixuan to have broken her heart back then, but did her daughter have to go through it all over again with Li Taixuan's son?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(First update.)\u003C\u002Fp>",2194,"2026-06-20T03:27:18.369Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","44bb1a3b8a80c9e9fb0f6f3705f378c139c1a435088e9853bb988b3a264768f0","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-188","king-of-all-manifestations-chapter-186",999,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fking-of-all-manifestations-cover.jpg"]
