Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

After speaking, Xu Zhangqing put away his communication jade talisman and turned his gaze toward the direction of the Water Pavilion.

Today was the birthday of his eldest daughter Xu Linglong, and also the best time for him to visit the Water Pavilion.

First, as a father, he ought to go to the Water Pavilion to celebrate his daughter's birthday.

Both by reason and by logic, it was reasonable.

Second, Linglong was a disciple under Mo Qiu Shui; by going to the Water Pavilion, he could not only see his daughter but also meet Mo Qiu Shui openly and aboveboard, taking the opportunity to inquire about information regarding the Xuanhuang Spirit Sect.

Mo Qiu Shui had lived for over a thousand years and managed the Water Pavilion, so he surely knew some unknown secrets regarding the connection between the Dongting Immortal Sect's water veins and earth veins.

Having made up his mind, Xu Zhangqing delayed no longer and took out the birthday gift he had prepared.

When he previously went to the Central Region, he bought quite a few things on the Wan Ghost Auction Ship.

One item was a Liang Yuan Huan Xing Defense Pei that could transform into a small rabbit.

The other item was a warning wind chime called the Pure Brightness Yuqing Ling.

The jade pendant was given to Third Disciple Qingyao.

And the Pure Brightness Yuqing Ling was the birthday gift for Linglong.

Its main body was made of Xuan Crystal Spirit Copper, capable of conducting magical power, sensing spiritual energy fluctuations, hard and corrosion-resistant, engraved with warning spirit patterns.

The clapper was made of Azure Bird Spirit Jade; the chime it produced was clear and lingering, able to dispel evil forces and divine soul attacks, while also bearing warning capabilities.

The chime body was mixed with yellow sand powder, enhancing perception of earth qi and evil forces, while incorporating locking spirit patterns, warning patterns, and protective shield patterns.

Even the hanging cord was handmade from spirit silkworm silk mixed with Xuan River reed floss.

Overall palm-sized, pale blue in color, smooth and lustrous throughout.

The chime body was carved with fine spiral patterns; when there was no warning, they were gray.

When warning, they would light up in corresponding colors according to the danger level: light blue for low danger, golden yellow for medium danger, crimson for high danger.

The rim of the chime mouth was inlaid with three small Xuan crystal beads; beneath the clapper was a miniature jade pendant capable of recording others' auras to avoid false alarms.

Overall small and exquisite, it could be hung at the waist, on the sleeve, or fixed in one place.

Xu Zhangqing tidied his clothes, then his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of green escape light, flying out from Qingmu Peak and speeding toward the Water Pavilion.

The Water Pavilion stood above Hei Hu Lake, its towers and pavilions reflected in the water, moving with the waves.

Compared to the lush plants of Qingmu Peak, it had its own elegant water charm.

In no time, Xu Zhangqing arrived at the Water Pavilion.

The gatekeeping disciple hurried forward and said respectfully, "Greetings, Peak Master Xu!"

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Report to Pavilion Master Mo that I have come to celebrate Linglong's birthday."

The gatekeeping disciple nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Peak Master Xu, please wait a moment!"

After replying, he hurriedly turned and entered the pavilion.

In the past, Xu Zhangqing could have entered directly.

Now that his identity and status had changed, he was no longer so casual.

After a while, the gatekeeping disciple returned and said with a smile, "Peak Master Xu, you may enter now; Senior Sister Linglong is on the top layer!"

Receiving permission, Xu Zhangqing stepped into the Water Pavilion.

Inside the pavilion, the spiritual energy was gentle, and water light flowed everywhere.

Wherever he passed beneath his feet, even fine ripples would arise.

"Peak Master Xu!"

"Greetings, Peak Master Xu!"

"Good morning, Peak Master Xu!"

Wherever he passed, all Water Spirit Root disciples cupped their hands and bowed.

Not to mention that Xu Zhangqing was not only the Acting Peak Master of Qingmu Peak but also a cultivator of the Spirit Field Office.

Moreover, his Dao Companion Ruo Qunshuang was the former Rain Master.

Even his eldest daughter was now a Direct Disciple of Pavilion Master Mo Qiu Shui.

Xu Zhangqing went straight ahead, directly arriving at the top layer of the Water Pavilion.

This was Mo Qiu Shui's exclusive cultivation chamber, where spiritual energy was purest, ordinary people could not set foot, and everything from the outside world was isolated.

The top layer was spacious, with windows facing Hei Hu Lake open, and the wind brought water vapor inside.

A petite figure was sitting cross-legged on a rush mat, cultivating with eyes closed.

She was Xu Linglong.

Xu Zhangqing watched silently and did not disturb her.

She still had that petite appearance; although her true age was nearly thirty, she looked only thirteen or fourteen.

Her half-human half-dragon bloodline gave her a long lifespan, and her appearance was fixed at her youth.

She wore a water-blue long skirt with moon-white trim, the hem embroidered with fine water patterns.

Her skin was white like congealed fat, her eyebrows and eyes exquisite, with a hint of blue pattern at the corners of her eyes.

A head of black long hair was loosely tied up, with a few stray strands hanging by her cheeks, making her look cute and well-behaved.

At this moment, Xu Linglong opened her eyes, and in those clear eyes was now full of joy.

Xu Zhangqing reached out and picked her up, smiling and asking, "Linglong, do you miss your father?"

Xu Linglong showed a silly smile, her voice soft and sweet: "I do, Linglong thinks of Father every day!"

Xu Changqing heard this and asked with a smile: "How did you hide the dragon horn?"

"It was Master who helped me hide it."

Xu Linglong blinked: "Master said my dragon horn is too eye-catching, easily targeted by certain people, thereby inviting unnecessary trouble.

So a secret art was used to conceal it; this way when moving outside, no one will detect my identity."

These words spoken, Xu Changqing's heart warmed.

It could be seen that Mo Qiu Shui truly doted on Linglong, considering everything for her.

With the other party protecting her like this, this father could be considered thoroughly at ease.

"My Linglong is so good."

Xu Changqing rubbed her head, then took out the Pure Brightness Yuqing Ling: "This is a birthday gift Father specially prepared for you, see if you like it."

The blue warning bell hovered in his palm, lustrous and small.

The bell's spirit patterns were delicate; one look showed it was a top-grade defense magic tool.

Xu Linglong's eyes were full of surprise and delight; she hurriedly took it: "Thank you, Father!"

She tied the Pure Brightness Yuqing Ling at her waist; the small bell pendant hung beside her blue skirt, and with the slightest movement it emitted a clear, pleasant, pure and lingering bell sound, extremely nice to hear.

Just at this time, the hall door was pushed open.

A figure in a water-blue long robe, with a clear, elegant, and gentle temperament, walked in slowly.

The comer was precisely the Water Control Pavilion Lord, Mo Qiu Shui.

He raised his hand; a jade hairpin, entirely lustrous blue and emitting cold Qi, floated before Xu Linglong.

On the jade hairpin were engraved fine dragon patterns and water patterns; at its core was embedded a drop of Ice Abyss Dragon Saliva Dew, most suited to ice and water spiritual roots and dragon descendant bloodline.

It could both nourish the Golden Core and stabilize cultivation, further conceal aura, and trigger an ice-type defense barrier in critical moments.

Mo Qiu Shui spoke: "Linglong, Teacher also prepared a birthday gift for you.

This Cold Water Dragon Chant Hairpin can both aid your cultivation and protect you completely."

Xu Linglong hurriedly bowed in salute: "Many thanks, Master!"

Xu Changqing followed with cupped fists: "Many thanks for Pavilion Master Mo's gift!"

Mo Qiu Shui waved his hand, saying seriously: "Peak Master Xu, today is Linglong's birthday, you and I need not stand on ceremony."

Xu Changqing put Linglong down, then transmitted his voice: "Lao Mo, I came today not only to celebrate Linglong's birthday, but also have a matter I want to consult you on."

Mo Qiu Shui was stunned: "Consult?"

Xu Changqing also didn't beat around the bush: "You have lived thousands of years, preside over the Water Control Pavilion, and understand the connection between the sect's water pulses and spiritual veins.

I want to ask, do you know the Xuanhuang Spirit Sect?"
