Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After pondering back and forth, Xu Zhangqing fished out a Communication Talisman from his Fangcun Ring, infused it with Spiritual Power, and waited for the other party to pick up.

Spiritual Light began to flicker; after a while it lit up completely.

"Sixth Junior Brother, looking for me about something?"

"There's a matter I'd like to trouble Second Senior Brother with."

"We're fellow disciples, just say it."

"I have a friend preparing to assault the Golden Core Stage, but because toxins have accumulated inside his body, he needs a stalk of Netherdark Grass to purge the poison. I heard you're growing it in your Spirit Field?"

"Netherdark Grass... come to Qingmu Peak, let's talk face to face."

"Thanks, Second Senior Brother!"

Regarding Xu Zhangqing suddenly asking him for a stalk of Netherdark Grass, Zhou Yan was quite surprised.

The relationship between the two appeared harmonious, but in reality there was an invisible rift.

The main reason was that his Dao Companion's mother had an incident, and that incident happened to have a slight connection with Sixth Junior Brother.

As fellow disciples who see each other constantly, they naturally couldn't fall out.

But wanting to return to how things were before wasn't very realistic either.

……

……

Hanging up the Communication Talisman, Xu Zhangqing set off for Qingmu Peak.

Upon arrival, he found it no different from before.

The only change was that a batch of people was missing.

Anyone connected to Su Qingyao and Ji Mingxuan had been dealt with by the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, Qingmu Peak from top to bottom now had a rather strange atmosphere.

In the past when they met they would still greet each other.

Now it's like guarding against thieves; seeing each other they're extra vigilant.

By the time Xu Zhangqing arrived, Zhou Yan was already waiting at the gate, and beside him stood a graceful woman — precisely Su Tiantian.

After several years apart, she had shed her immaturity; her brows and eyes carried a few degrees of alienation.

Especially the look in her eyes when she gazed at Xu Zhangqing — it was very complicated.

There was wariness, unwillingness, and even a hint of indescribable resentment.

Zhou Yan stepped forward to welcome him, laughing as he patted Xu Zhangqing's shoulder, then glanced at his Dao Companion and said seriously: "Tiantian happens to be here too; some words we might as well lay out openly today."

Xu Zhangqing listened, a bit surprised.

Su Tiantian, meanwhile, was expressionless; obviously the two had already talked.

But everyone knew in their hearts that Zhou Yan wanted to untie this knot.

Even if the relationship couldn't be restored to the past, at least they couldn't just watch it deteriorate further.

Afterward, Xu Zhangqing followed behind, and the three walked to the stone table beside the Spirit Field and sat down one by one.

Spirit Tea had already been brewed, steaming with heat.

As if wanting to use its warmth to dissolve the icy atmosphere.

Zhou Yan spoke first: "Tiantian, your mother's matter doesn't have much to do with Changqing."

However, Su Tiantian pursed her lips and said nothing, her fingertips even clenched white.

From this it could be seen that in her heart she fundamentally did not accept those words.

She just didn't want her other half to feel bad, so she kept silent.

Seeing this, Zhou Yan continued patiently: "You... your mother's matter is rather complicated; my junior brother is also one of the victims, it's just that he happened to be away, so he didn't get dragged in.

Moreover, this was the Immortal Sect settling accounts according to sect rules; Changqing didn't meddle in the slightest from start to finish, and even spoke up for you, hoping for a lighter punishment."

Did Xu Zhangqing say that?

Of course not!

In truth, he couldn't care less whether Su Tiantian lived or died.

To speak honestly, if he hadn't been cautious back then, he would probably have been trapped by her mother long ago.

At that time, those dealt with by the Immortal Sect wouldn't have been just Su Qingyao, Ji Mingxuan, and the others.

However, since Second Senior Brother intends to make peace, he naturally can't expose it.

Otherwise, not only would the relationship fail to recover, they might fall out on the spot.

Hearing this, Su Tiantian lifted her eyelids, her gaze shifting slightly sideways.

She looked at Xu Zhangqing while a suspicious look appeared in her eyes.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"I don't believe it; it does you no good."

"But it does me no harm either!"

"Uh..."

The two finally communicated.

Looking at Xu Zhangqing's calm and waveless eyes, Su Tiantian's shoulders relaxed slightly.

Regardless of truth or falsehood, since it has been said like this, it can only be taken as true.

At this moment, Zhou Yan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, Sixth Junior Brother is a sharp one, and his reaction is fast.

Knowing what should be said and what should not be said.

If he had run into some other fool, the truth would likely have been exposed long ago.

Xu Zhangqing seized the opportune moment to speak: "I know you have a knot in your heart, but we are both victims.

Think carefully: if I were dragged into it, even if my life were spared, would my identity, background, and status not all be gone?"

Hearing this, Su Tiantian subconsciously narrowed her eyes and began to think carefully.

If not for Zhou Yan striving hard this time, even paying a batch of rare spirit plants, she fundamentally would not have been able to remain in the Immortal Sect.

If it were Xu Zhangqing, once he got mixed up in it, even a Peak Master's Direct Disciple would certainly suffer the Immortal Sect's punishment.

Losing identity, status, and background would probably be the lightest consequence.

Perhaps one might even have to pay the price of one's life.

Zhou Yan looked at Su Tiantian and transmitted his voice: "Tiantian, Changqing is now the Spirit Field Grain Master, and also an Earth-grade Golden Core Cultivator.

The original matter had nothing to do with him to begin with; you always harboring this matter benefits no one."

Hearing this, Su Tiantian's gaze was sharp at first, memories flashing through her mind, and finally she let out a sigh in her heart, saying in a flat tone: "Xu... Dao Friend, let's consider this matter past."

By seniority, she should address Xu Zhangqing as Junior Brother, after all her Dao Companion is his Second Senior Brother.

But no matter what, this "Junior Brother" ultimately could not be called out; her heart felt truly awkward.

In fact, although these words sounded polite, there was not much sincerity in them.

Fortunately, Xu Zhangqing did not mind either.

He understood clearly that Su Tiantian was willing to reconcile mostly because she had weighed the gap between both sides.

The current him was long no longer that Spirit Nurturer who could only scramble in the Spirit Fields back then, but the Spirit Field Second-in-command; the other party fundamentally could not afford to offend him.

Once things turned ugly, not only would she be unable to stay in the Immortal Sect, even Second Senior Brother would be implicated.

She could remain in the Immortal Sect entirely thanks to Zhou Yan; otherwise she would either become a displaced Loose Cultivator, or be taken away by the Yao Yue Immortal Sect's younger aunt, that is, the Orchid Immortal Maiden.

But that way, she could never be together with Zhou Yan again.

Therefore, this account, Su Tiantian calculated clearly and distinctly in her heart.

Seeing her relent, Zhou Yan's face immediately showed a smile, then he turned and dug up a stalk of Netherdark Grass from the Third Grade Spirit Field: "This is three hundred years old, however it is not naturally grown, but rather I used the Cultivation Acceleration Technique to force it out early.

The medicinal efficacy is a bit inferior to naturally grown ones, but sufficient to cure poison."

Xu Zhangqing hurriedly accepted the Netherdark Grass; not to mention having the System, even without it, with his current vision he could easily distinguish its name, age, and effects.

With his current horizon, he could likewise easily discern it.

Indeed as Second Senior Brother said, the Spiritual Energy Concentration was a bit lacking, and the medicinal efficacy had a slight discount.

But for Pei Mo, purging the toxins inside his body was more than enough.

"Many thanks, Second Senior Brother!"

"No need for politeness, we are fellow disciples!"

"How about I give some spirit stones?"

"Not needed, I will definitely need your help in the future!"

"Then... I'll take my leave first, goodbye Second Senior Brother, Senior Sister Su!"

With the item in hand, Xu Zhangqing left directly.

Of course, not returning to Hongfeng Valley, but going to see Eldest Senior Sister and Fifth Senior Sister.

Since he had come all this way, why not get in touch with all of them and nurture the relationships!
