Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing called out loudly toward Chu Qiu inside the house: "Chu Shixiong, I have a matter to attend to at the Rain Water Pavilion; you feel free."

Chu Qiu glanced at the stairwell position and said with slight embarrassment: "I'll still go with you."

These past few days he only learned that Junior Brother Xu actually has a female Dao Companion.

She's quite pretty-looking too.

Seems she's a Senior Alchemist.

The two of them tossing and turning night after night, no wonder Lin An lives a hundred meters away.

If I stayed, it would feel inappropriate, easy to cause misunderstanding.

Upon hearing this, Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Alright, then let's go together."

Immediately, he summoned his travel tool, the Big Leaf Grass.

Chu Qiu walked out from the house.

The two stood one on the left, one on the right, and immediately rose from the ground, flying toward the Rain Water Pavilion.

Along the way, there was basically not much exchange.

After all, Chu Qiu had things on his mind, not too willing to speak.

Xu Zhangqing, meanwhile, was thinking about how to talk with Old Bai later.

If the other party makes exorbitant demands, then forget the cooperation.

Regardless, Xu Zhangqing is absolutely not someone who likes to suffer losses.

About one hour later, the two approached Hei Hu and could already see the Rain Water Pavilion.

However, this arrival presented a different scene, or rather, a discovery.

In the water was no longer the hundred-zhang-long yellow Teng Snake.

Instead, a turtle head, black with a touch of red.

It looked extremely honest, motionless.

Like a black island.

Complex spiritual runes were engraved on the turtle shell.

A bit like Bagua patterns.

Also a bit like the Big Dipper.

In short, the water spiritual energy in the entire Hei Hu became dense because of it.

Xu Zhangqing exclaimed in surprise: "Coming so many times, this is still the first time I've seen a Xuanwu."

Chu Qiu echoed: "Me too, first time seeing one."

The Xuanwu completely lacked the Teng Snake's madness, ferocity, viciousness.

Appearing more steady, reserved, wise.

Just showing a head, who knows what it's looking at, extremely quiet.

Xu Zhangqing and Chu Qiu circled around the Xuanwu several times, only then flying to the Rain Water Pavilion entrance.

Upon arrival, he took out Bai Ling'er's communication talisman, having her come out to receive them.

Outsiders, unless they are relatives or have a master-disciple relationship with someone in the Rain Water Pavilion.

Otherwise, to enter inside one must have someone vouch for them; this rule is similar to the Dan Pavilion's.

Not long after, Bai Ling'er came running out from inside, hopping and skipping.

Originally thinking only Xu Zhangqing would come, her face bloomed with joy.

Result: didn't expect there to be a Chu Qiu as well, immediately startled by his ugly appearance.

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly introduced: "This is Chu Qiu Shixiong from the Spirit Beast Valley."

"Ya!"

Bai Ling'er exclaimed in surprise: "You're Chu Qiu!"

Chu Qiu sized up the short girl before him: "Hello."

Bai Ling'er couldn't help asking: "Chu Shixiong, why did you join the Spirit Beast Valley instead of the Rain Water Pavilion?"

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing beside him pricked up his ears.

Chu Qiu froze for a moment, then explained: "I indeed almost became a Rain Water Pavilion disciple back then, but later due to spirit beast reasons, I joined the Spirit Beast Valley."

Bai Ling'er seemed to half-understand; fortunately her attention was quickly drawn by Xu Zhangqing, and she immediately reached out demanding: "I persuaded Father for several days before he agreed to see you; where's the food?"

Xu Zhangqing took out the snacks he had long prepared from the Lightly Vitality Gourd: "These are all for you; eat them up and come find me for more."

In an instant, Bai Ling'er was submerged in snacks.

If it were someone else, they might feel offended, even anxious.

Bai Ling'er, on the other hand, seeing so many snacks, her eyes immediately lit up, smiling so wide her mouth couldn't close.

After she packed them all into her storage bag, she then brought Xu Zhangqing and Chu Qiu into the Rain Water Pavilion.

"Isn't that Chu Qiu?"

"What happened to his face?"

"Looks like he was burned by Mo Sha!"

Xu Zhangqing and Bai Ling'er didn't know many people, so no one discussed it.

But the moment Chu Qiu crossed the threshold and entered, he immediately attracted the attention of many Water Spirit Root Disciples.

Staring on one side.

Discussing animatedly on the other.

Among them, quite a few people were frightened by his face after it was disfigured.

Especially the female disciples, who even more revealed looks of pity.

Chu Qiu was originally handsome, his talent was good and his aptitude high; he had once defeated Lan Tian, the number one Formal Disciple of the Water Control Pavilion, and was therefore admired by many Water Spirit Root Disciples.

Now seeing this appearance of his, they all could not bear to look directly at him.

Fortunately, this kind of blow was neither painful nor itchy for Chu Qiu.

Facing the surrounding people, whether male or female disciples pointing and whispering, he fundamentally did not care.

The only thought in his heart was to recover his own and He Qi Da Ren's injuries as soon as possible.

Then find an opportunity to beat Mo Sha half to death.

To vent the hatred in his heart.

Not long after, the two arrived at the third layer of the Water Control Pavilion.

Once again seeing Bai Ling'er's father... Bai Xiaotian.

Unknown whether he had been waiting, or had just finished being busy.

The other party sat on a chair yawning, looking bleary-eyed with sleep.

Bai Ling'er said with a grin: "Father, Xu Zhangqing has come, oh."

Bai Xiaotian asked with displeasure: "Once the talk is done, I can rest, right?"

Xu Zhangqing heard this and exchanged a glance with Chu Qiu.

Why does it feel like the other party's words are strange.

Bai Ling'er blinked her eyes: "Father, you are a Senior Talisman Master, and have reached the Zhi Ji Yuan Man realm; it is merely five days without rest."

Hearing this, Bai Xiaotian's gaze became complex, and he immediately looked toward Xu Zhangqing behind him: "You, yes, just you, come with me to the room on the left side for a private chat."

Although Xu Zhangqing was surprised in his heart, he still followed the other party into another small room inside.

The door "pa" shut with a bang.

The sounds outside came to an abrupt halt.

The whole room was not large, but the soundproofing effect was surprisingly good.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze swept once, seeing many Silence Talismans and such Spirit Talismans pasted all around.

Bai Xiaotian knitted his brows and interrogated: "What exactly did you pour into my two daughters, you brat?"

Xu Zhangqing asked back with a blank face: "What thing?"

Bai Xiaotian flew into a rage and laughed: "My eldest daughter mentioning you from time to time would be fine, but this youngest daughter chants your name every day."

Xu Zhangqing shook his head: "I did not pour any love potion into your daughter; she merely likes the meals and little snacks I make."

Hearing the reason was this simple, Bai Xiaotian opened his mouth, yet stubbornly could not utter a single word; after a long while he sighed heavily: "Ai~"

Xu Zhangqing asked doubtfully: "What exactly is going on?"

Bai Xiaotian said with a face full of weariness: "At first, I was not interested in your so-called cooperation; as a result, she turned out to be good, wearing me down like taming a hawk, wearing this old man down until I hadn't rested for several days."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood.

The reason the other party agreed turned out to be that he could not endure it anymore.

Bai Xiaotian plopped down sitting, fiercely took a deep breath: "Even until now, I am still not interested in your so-called cooperation.

But another matter is somewhat impatient to wait."

"What?" Xu Zhangqing subconsciously pressed the question.

Bai Xiaotian used eyes full of blood traces, staring fixedly at him: "After the Formal Disciple Competition ends, you bring Ling'er back home!"
