Last time I saw you, you were barely Nascent Soul!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing replied humbly: “Thanks to your blessings, this past few years I’ve been fortunate enough to gain a few opportunities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their last meeting had been in the depths of Lao Pengwang’s Abyss on Canglan Mountain, where the five-colored barrier had dissolved after he bowed three times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Number Six had given him three true drops of Jin Chida blood, kindly warning him to have an elder present when refining it, or it would be dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he possessed four-colored flowers and wasn’t worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had also taught Lu Yaoyao the advanced heart scripture, Ice Purity Art, and its matching divine technique, Ice Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just never expected her to return to Lingyun Prefecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Soul Transformation cultivator’s opportunity, Number Six clearly didn’t find it significant; she merely nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she spoke: “I’ve come to ask you for a favor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing looked up, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A favor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What favor?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Help you find me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he bowed respectfully: “Elder, please command.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six said: “But before I ask for your help, I must confirm one thing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she fixed her gaze directly on Zhou Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt a pang of guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been too careless—he shouldn’t have revealed so much inside the Divine Ruins Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially mentioning the things she liked to eat—if Lu Yaoyao used the same code words with her, everything would be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Number Six seemed to deeply believe in “fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting her a few times made one a fated one; Lu Yaoyao was even more so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it her Nascent Soul enhancement or her Soul Transformation intent influencing this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Zhou Qing grew increasingly uneasy under her stare, Number Six finally spoke: “Do you still remember the stone platform left behind by Lao Pengwang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was stunned, then nodded immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could he forget? That stone platform, wrapped in a five-colored array, held several treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three differently colored jade vials, an ancient-looking beast hide scroll, and an exquisitely crafted storage pouch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, I took only the vial containing three true drops of Jin Chida blood—all else, including the five-colored array, I left to you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Have you fully refined that blood?” Number Six pressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing replied: “I’ve refined it. I also gained a bloodline inheritance technique from the Jin Chida clan, and my cultivation advanced because of it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the fact that he knew Emperor Radiance Scripture wasn’t a secret—and he couldn’t tell anyone it was left behind when the Corpse Spirit failed to possess him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Number Six’s eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could I… see it?” she hesitated to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing immediately unfolded his Golden Peng True Form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a high-level Zhan Ling cultivator, Number Six had shown Zhou Qing, whom she viewed as a mere insect, extraordinary respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Zhou Qing, glowing with golden light, she studied him carefully, then said: “I was somewhat concerned when I came. Now, I see choosing you for this favor was the right decision.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing returned to his normal form, sensing something, and asked: “Is this about Jin Chida?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six offered no concealment: “There was another beast hide scroll left on that platform. After years of elimination, I’ve finally located it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But the situation is complicated. I originally planned to ask you for a drop of Golden Peng blood to test, but I assumed you’d already refined it—so I only came hoping for a chance. I didn’t expect this unexpected gain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured—if we succeed in entering that place, I won’t let you go unrewarded!” Seeing Zhou Qing silent, Number Six added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing had no concerns at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, back in that abyss, she, a Zhan Ling cultivator, had let him—a mere Nascent Soul—choose first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not for any other reason than that he had bowed three times to open the five-colored seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She truly had principles and never abused her power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s precisely why, inside the Divine Ruins Palace, I was willing to speak with her—and even help her in her forbidden zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will give my utmost effort!” Zhou Qing bowed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six nodded in satisfaction, then seemed to recall something: “Where does your junior sister live?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s heart lurched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, that girl loved playing matchmaker—especially with silver-haired women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Xuan You Immortal, Xuan Yuan Muqian, and even you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better not. Her mouth has no filter—she might offend you with a careless word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six said coolly: “Her constitution resembles mine. I once taught her a heart scripture; I’d like to see how well she’s mastered it now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s face twitched; he opened his mouth to speak, but Number Six seemed to sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So close!” She lifted her foot lightly and vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing felt a momentary dizziness; his feet steadied, and he stood before Shenyue Peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before him was Lu Yaoyao’s residence, and nearby, the tunnel leading to the Cave Heaven forbidden zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was long past midnight; Lu Yaoyao had already fallen asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief spiritual sense check, Number Six’s beautiful eyes flickered with surprise: “Hmm? Nascent Soul mid-stage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Zhou Qing kept murmuring in agreement, subtly blocking the direction of the tunnel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao’s current cultivation level was due not only to Lu Shi’s training, but more importantly, to the Ice Purity Art Number Six had gifted her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, having already cultivated Yin Yang Scripture, knew this best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Her sleeping aura seems gentle, yet slightly chaotic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six narrowed her eyes, flickered forward, and vanished—entering the courtyard directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Zhou Qing panicked and tried to follow, but the courtyard was sealed by a barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, this was a girl’s residence; breaking in at this hour would be improper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he feared Lu Yaoyao’s loose tongue might say something reckless—he gritted his teeth and rushed forward, pounding on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Number Six watched Lu Yaoyao quietly; her delicate nose exhaled faint white frost, swirling around the gauze curtains, appearing deeply strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, Lu Yaoyao sensed the disturbance in the barrier and snapped open her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She saw the silver-haired woman standing beside her bed—froze, eyes wide with shock and confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Th-Third Mama!” Lu Yaoyao blurted out instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six frowned slightly; she remembered that on their first meeting, deep in Canglan Mountain’s Abyss, this girl had called her “Third Mama” the moment she saw her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait—had she already become so maternal?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Ice Lotus technique has a flaw. Perform it now—I’ll observe.” Number Six’s voice was cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao still seemed dazed, her gaze unfocused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially as she stared at the tall, slender figure before her, then glanced at herself—her eyes filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, almost unconsciously, she reached out and lightly touched Number Six’s arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An icy chill surged through her—so intense that even she, who cultivated cold-based arts, shuddered involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not a dream?” Lu Yaoyao rubbed her eyes hard, staring again at the silver-haired woman before her, finally fully realizing the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Open the door! Open the door! I know you’re all inside—” Zhou Qing’s shouts from outside snapped her back to reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately leapt off the bed, her face alight with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Disciple Lu Yaoyao, greetings, Sister!” Lu Yaoyao’s voice rang clear as she bowed respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six looked at Lu Yaoyao, a fleeting smile tugging at her lips beneath the veil.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She still remembered how, last time beneath the Abyss, this mischievous girl had envied her waistline—suddenly, it felt as if it were yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me see,” Number Six spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao nodded eagerly, her eyes fixed on the woman’s silver hair, beaming with joy as she immediately activated the “Ice Lotus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As spiritual power flowed, the temperature plummeted sharply, and a faint mist spread through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the influence of spiritual power, the mist rapidly condensed into countless tiny ice crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lu Yaoyao swiftly formed hand seals, ice-blue lotuses slowly emerged beside her, radiating a cold, deep blue light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the ice lotuses multiplied, swirling rapidly around Lu Yaoyao to form a massive lotus vortex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, freezing energy raged, turning the entire courtyard into a sculpture of ice. Zhou Qing, still knocking outside, paled and immediately stepped back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This cold… it even froze the barrier!” Zhou Qing stared in shock at the completely dissolved barrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then cautiously approached; when he glimpsed Lu Yaoyao fully clothed through the door crack, he exhaled in relief and pushed the door open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Number Six lightly touched the deep blue lotuses with one finger, her expression focused, as if probing something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop,” Number Six said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao immediately halted her cultivation, and everything gradually returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard, once encased in ice, began slowly melting, dissolving into vapor that drifted into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can see you’ve put in effort—but you’ve trained incorrectly. Fortunately, you caught it in time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you’d continued, the chaotic cold energy could have invaded your limbs and bones, even endangering your life.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six flicked her finger, and a snow-white elixir appeared in her palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you trust me, you may…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trust you!” Lu Yaoyao’s eyes sparkled; she snatched the elixir and swallowed it whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Number Six gave a slight nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We have a connection. Since I taught you this technique, I should guide you. I have some matters needing your senior brother’s help—come along.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six’s voice was cold, but her gaze toward Lu Yaoyao held a faint, almost imperceptible warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao nodded vigorously, her face glowing with uncontainable joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Sister! I’ve been feeling something off in my cultivation these past few years, but I couldn’t put my finger on it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Zhou Qing’s lips twitched slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You really know how to speak without restraint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You call Xuan You ‘Sister’—fine, you’re on the same level as all the peak masters of Taiqingmen. But this woman is a Cutting Spirit cultivator; you’re not unaware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though women generally enjoy flattery, you can’t just blurt it out like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ve suddenly made yourself one generation higher than me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like we’ll have to address each other separately: you call her Sister, I call her Elder, and you keep calling me Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More bizarrely, Number Six showed no objection whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe I should just skip ahead and call you ‘Sister’ too—might as well give up on effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister, wait a moment!” Lu Yaoyao said eagerly, then dashed out in her nightgown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zhou! Senior Brother Zhou, you can come in now—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six also stared blankly at Zhou Qing standing at the door, a hint of confusion in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it was midnight, as a Nascent Soul cultivator, she shouldn’t be unable to see a living person in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This girl’s appearance, talent, and physique are excellent—but her eyes…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao sprinted outside, only to find Zhou Qing gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What? She’d clearly heard her father’s shouts, and the barrier had been triggered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How had he vanished so suddenly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough—” Zhou Qing cleared his throat loudly. “Lu Junior Sister!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the voice, Lu Yaoyao turned—and realized Zhou Qing had been standing in the courtyard all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her eyes, a wave of frustration washing over her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had happened more than once these past few years: someone right beside her, yet invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Better than that old hen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be a side effect of her flawed cultivation of the “Ice Lotus” technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zhou!” Lu Yaoyao quickly brushed aside her frustration and rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Brother Zhou, see? She came for you—don’t miss this chance!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao whispered urgently to Zhou Qing, her eyes gleaming with mischief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing’s expression changed as he watched her excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girl, I’ve always feared this about you—and here it is again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing whispered back: “Listen carefully—don’t say anything foolish, especially don’t bring out any of your snacks.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why?” Lu Yaoyao whispered back, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing hurriedly said: “Will you listen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course!” Lu Yaoyao replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said: “Good. Then listen—don’t bring them out, don’t even mention them. I’ll explain later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao reluctantly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six stepped out now, sensing the spiritual sense fluctuations between them, and said coldly: “Do you need any preparation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spoke in unison, then stared at each other, both flushing with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six glanced between them, frowned slightly, and said: “This trip was rushed. I’ll return precisely at this time tomorrow night to fetch you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao quickly asked: “Sister, can you tell us where we’re going?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Number Six raised her hand and sliced lightly through the air—a rift in space opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The border of your Shengwu Empire.” With that, she stepped into the rift and vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected they’d be heading to the border again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was recorded on that hide?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why had Number Six brought him here? How could the “Emperor’s Radiance Scripture” help her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you tell me now?” Lu Yaoyao suddenly leaned over, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed, eyes darting, then adopted a solemn tone: “She has a beautiful master who loved those things you mentioned.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s perfect—we share the same taste!” Lu Yaoyao’s eyes lit up, excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing sighed: “You don’t know—her master died. Her enemies discovered this, and poisoned those very things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao’s smile froze instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing continued: “Now she despises them—even hearing their names makes her furious enough to kill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao’s face turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing said seriously: “So since she’s willing to guide you in cultivation, we should be grateful—and never provoke her. Understood?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao nodded vigorously: “Understood. But Senior Brother, how do you know this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing paused, then said: “She told me herself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Cutting Spirit cultivator would casually confide her grief to a Soul Transformation?” Lu Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, suspicion in her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing gave her a sharp tap on the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Adult matters are none of your business. Just remember this. Before we leave, inform your Sect Master—he’ll worry if you don’t.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing spoke, then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao rubbed her forehead, grimacing—but soon her eyes brightened with realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be… they’ve reached a point where they confide in each other? When did this start? How did I miss it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She muttered softly, her face beaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at Xiao Ling Peak, Zhou Qing found Mo Xingjian and told him everything without concealment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian was, of course, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen this elder before—during that incident at the edge of the Canglan Mountain Abyss, before the Corpse-Peng Emperor emerged, only Nascent Soul cultivators could descend to investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had appeared before them and said to Zhou Qing: “We meet again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she implanted a mark into his body, asking him to descend and investigate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before they could set out, only one of the Peng Emperor of Taiyao Mountain’s disciples managed to flee in terror—and he turned into a pool of pus and blood—so the matter was dropped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a very reasonable elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No matter what help you offer, remember to stay safe—because if danger arises, they can escape effortlessly!” Mo Xingjian warned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Qing nodded, indicating he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, watch that thing—don’t let it show before a Severing Spirit cultivator; their eyes are sharp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry about the sect—your uncle and I will handle it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Either give the hen to me or to Sanhuzi—I’ll make sure it’s well cared for.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mo Xingjian kept giving advice for a long time before Zhou Qing finally left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given the three drops of Jin Peng true blood, plus the refined scripture and divine art for Lu Yaoyao, I simply can’t refuse—and I wouldn’t dare.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Besides, by her standards, she’ll surely give me a share of the spoils—and the opportunities sought by a Severing Spirit cultivator yield tremendous rewards!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Zhou Qing began to feel anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After glancing at the hen, he resumed watering the Wu Dao Ancient Tea Tree with spiritual fluid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the second night, Mo Xingjian and Cao Zhengyang and others nervously hid at a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from Erdaye and Xuan Yuan Shuo, Zhou Qing recognized a third Severing Spirit cultivator—this was an immense blessing for Taiqingmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zhou Qing ever became Sect Master, just this network alone would ensure the sect’s stability and prosperity, shielding it from bullying and invasion by other factions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a single blink, the two men standing outside the courtyard vanished instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, it seemed the elder had no desire to interact further with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others could only sigh helplessly and went their separate ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small space vessel, exquisitely crafted, its streamlined hull glowing faintly with silver-blue light, yet moving with astonishing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the three did not use any commandery’s teleportation array—they flew straight toward the border.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their previous return to Haomiao Prefecture, this journey would take at least three months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao stood on the deck, leaning slightly forward, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she gazed curiously around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept muttering “Wow! Wow! Wow!”—clearly ecstatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left Zhou Qing utterly exasperated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, when we returned from the border with Master Lin, Master Lu, and Erdaye, the scenery was the same—why weren’t you like this then?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he turned to Number Six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood quietly at the front, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall, her veil fluttering gently in the wind, revealing glimpses of her refined features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her posture was elegant, like a snow lotus atop an icy mountain, radiating a cold, distant aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands were folded before her, her gaze calm and fixed ahead—no one knew what she was thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao glanced between Number Six and Zhou Qing, looking especially thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Shixiong, the journey is long—I’ve collected some joke books. Why don’t you go over and chat with her?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yaoyao ran over excitedly, pulling out a dozen books from her storage pouch and waving them before Zhou Qing, her eyes shining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",3407,"2026-06-19T20:13:54.632Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","19e00597f316bbe4a14f9c86d39fe70ab722ae6f3557fd40f7f9b55026a756a7","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-249","my-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--chapter-247",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-master-s-elder-brother-just-took-on-a-female--cover.jpg"]
