Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Night fell.

In the night sky of Yao Guang Xing, the light of six main stars fell through the Time Realm Barrier, spreading a layer of faint light halos in the courtyard.

Xu Zhangqing and Ruo Qunshuang sat by the stone table in the courtyard.

The children had already returned to their rooms to rest, and the courtyard was very quiet.

Ruo Qunshuang poured a cup of tea for Xu Zhangqing and said softly, "These years, you have suffered hardships alone outside."

Xu Zhangqing took the tea cup and shook his head: "It cannot be called hardship; rather, it is you who stayed in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan for so many years and still had to look after the children — that is truly not easy."

Ruo Qunshuang smiled slightly: "With Ping'an there, I didn't have to worry too much.

That child has made quite a name for himself in the Tai Xu Lie Yuan; with him protecting us, I, Linglong, He Er, and Sui Er all live very peacefully."

She paused, her tone carrying a touch of emotion: "It is also because of Ping'an's help that my cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds; now I am only one step away from Nascent Soul."

Xu Zhangqing nodded.

For Ruo Qunshuang, the Nascent Soul Stage is not merely a realm advancement, but also means an extension of lifespan and a qualitative transformation of strength.

In a place like the Beidou Star Domain, the Golden Core Stage can only barely gain a foothold; only by stepping into Nascent Soul does one truly have self-protection power.

Ruo Qunshuang asked again: "You and that Inspector Gu, your relationship seems quite good?"

Xu Zhangqing did not conceal it, and simply recounted the matter of him helping Gu Chenzhou cultivate rare spirit plants in the Star Spirit Grass.

Including how precious the He Tianhe Yueji flower is, how great a risk Gu Chenzhou took for it, and how the two were therefore bound on the same boat.

Ruo Qunshuang listened, thoughtful: "No wonder he actively waived the courtyard expenses."

Regarding this, Xu Zhangqing smiled: "Mutual benefit, that's all; he gave this favor generously, and I accept it with peace of mind."

The two chatted a while longer, then Xu Zhangqing changed the subject: "When Ping'an returns to the Tianyuan Realm, I want him to bring Qingyao over on the way."

Ruo Qunshuang heard this, and her expression moved.

Who Qingyao is, she naturally knows.

Xu Zhangqing said seriously: "Eldest Disciple Xiang'er has already married and had children.

Second Disciple Feng'er has too many ties in the Tianyuan Realm — clan, sect, native land — not a single one can he let go.

Only Qingyao is different; her only family is me."

Ruo Qunshuang was silent for a moment, then nodded: "You are right; Qingyao should be brought over.

That child has suffered too much; if even her master is not by her side, she would be all alone and lonely — truly worrisome."

Xu Zhangqing looked at her and asked: "You agree?"

Ruo Qunshuang grasped his hand and smiled: "I am also a mother; I know what worry means.

Qingyao is your disciple, and also our child.

Bring her over; the whole family reunited."

Xu Zhangqing did not speak, only tightened his grip on her hand.

……

……

The next day.

Xu Zhangqing left Yao Guang Xing early in the morning and returned to the Star Spirit Grass on Yu Heng Xing.

Seeing him arrive, Zhang Zaizhi hurriedly put down his work and went to greet him: "Xu Direct Disciple, you're back!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Any news about the Universe Tide matter?"

Zhang Zaizhi replied: "Not much news; this time it's still Zhen Yuanzi leading the team.

Our Star Spirit Grass also has to send out a batch of people; we'll go along with them then.

I've already signed up, making a final push for it."

Xu Zhangqing patted his shoulder: "Good, we'll look out for each other then."

The two chatted a few more simple sentences, then he no longer delayed and headed toward the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field.

The restriction in the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field automatically opened a gap when Xu Zhangqing approached, and Spiritual Energy so dense it was nearly mist-like rushed toward his face.

In the very center of the Spirit Field, the He Tianhe Yueji flower grew quietly.

It looked a bit more swollen than before, the flowing luster on its surface increasingly spirited, but it was still very far from maturity.

Xu Zhangqing stood on the Spirit Field Ridge and raised his right hand.

Creation Power surged from his palm, transforming into semi-transparent threads that wound around his fingertips.

Immediately after, he closed the timeline within the Dust.

The He Tianhe Yueji flower seemed to have been put on fast-forward.

It grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, lighting up with faint starlight-like glimmers.

One timeline loop equals seven days.

Ten loops equal seventy days.

Therefore, as long as Xu Zhangqing puts in the effort, ripening it within a hundred years is absolutely no problem.

As for the Three-Eyed Clan's rare spirit plants, such as Star Core Purple Chen Seed, Flowing Glow Star Heart Grass, Rift Universe Star Pupil Flower, Ten Thousand Calamities Star Marrow Wood.

They are not as urgently in need of ripening as the He Tianhe Yueji flower; a bit slower doesn't matter.

Not long after, Xu Zhangqing, who was ripening the He Tianhe Yueji flower, suddenly paused in his movements.

He sensed someone had triggered the restriction at the Spirit Field Periphery; it was not Zhang Zaizhi's Spiritual Power Wave, but a breath deeper and steadier.

Xu Zhangqing withdrew his hand and turned, walking out of the Spirit Field.

Outside the restriction stood a man — the Star Spirit Grass Director, Lu Yan.

Xu Zhangqing came out of the restriction and cupped his fists: "Lu Director."

Lu Yan gave a Slight Smile: "Xu Chuan, Mao Ran Disturb you."

Xu Zhangqing Waved Hand: "No Disturb, what matter?"

Lu Yan did not beat around the bush: "Xu Chuan has been attached to our Star Spirit Grass for some time now; I wanted to find you for a talk, only recently there has been no suitable opportunity."

Xu Zhangqing Nodded: "Recently went out a Trip; Lu Director has something, speak directly."

Lu Yan spoke seriously: "This Time Universe Tide, don't know Xu Chuan has How Much Understanding?"

Xu Zhangqing replied calmly: "Only know roughly; Details still unclear."

Lu Yan was not Surprised either, Explained: "Universe Tide Erupts at Chaos Sea.

That place is extremely far from Floating World Four Domains; even riding the fastest Boat, it takes many days.

And participants in Universe Tide are numerous; along the way the Pills, Lingti, Array Plate, Spirit Stones needed — not one is a small sum.

Therefore every time before Universe Tide opens, Beidou Xianfu must build Supply Lines in advance."

Xu Zhangqing Thoughtful: "Supply Line?"

Lu Yan continued: "According to Custom, at least three Supply Lines established.

One of them is our Yu Heng Xing's responsibility, managed by me personally.

Another is handled by Tian Quan Xing's Star Guard Army, Zhen Chuan personally supervises.

As for the remaining third one……"

He Paused, Gaze fell on Xu Zhangqing: "If Xu Chuan is Willing, this Supply Line can be managed by you."

These words out, Xu Zhangqing pondered a moment, then Shook Head: "Lu Director, this matter I cannot Promise."

Lu Yan showed no Surprised Expression, only waited quietly for his continuation.

Sure enough, Xu Zhangqing continued: "I just came to Beidou Star Domain not long ago, qualifications still Shallow.

Now First Time participating in Universe Tide, don't even know what situation Chaos Sea is.

If rashly take over a Supply Line, in case something goes wrong, even if Dao Zun that side won't pursue, but Supply Line involves Front Line everyone's vital interests……"

He looked at Lu Yan, Tone sincere: "Therefore, this Supply Line still give to someone more experienced to manage."

Lu Yan heard this, eyes Flashed a trace of admiration.

He lived several Thousand Years, seen too many who newly enter high position and rush to prove themselves.

But this Xu Chuan before him, young yet knows what to fight for and what not to fight for.

This prudence and self-knowledge, instead makes one more at ease than those Fellows rushing to grab power.

Lu Yan Nodded, Tone held more Recognition: "Xu Chuan able at this moment to think so thoroughly, truly Seldom.

Since you don't wish to take Supply Line, then follow Zhen Yuanzi's team to depart.

When time comes, I will Arrange you and Zhang Zaizhi and others to ride same Boat, so can look out for each other!"
