Chapter 434

Xu Qi 'an had always been a steady person. While he was thinking, he did not waste any time and asked in a deep voice,

"Grand Tutor, do you love me?"

Luo Yuheng covered her mouth and chuckled. She said in a soft and affectionate voice,

"Xu, we have been dual cultivating for many days. We are Dao companions. If I don't love you, why would I dual cultivate with you? "

"The Grand Tutor's death is getting worse …" Xu Qi 'an's heart was heavy, but he pretended to be affectionate and said,

"Chu Yuanzhen and Master Hengy Yuan are here. They are both my friends. I'll go out and welcome them."

Luo Yuheng said, "I'll go with you."

After saying that, she lifted the blanket and exposed her chest.

"There's no need. If you go, how will they feel at ease?"

Hearing that, Luo Yuheng did not force him. She looked at him with a smile and did not say anything.

Xu Qi 'an felt guilty for no reason. He quickly put on his clothes and left the room. He went to the inn's lobby …

It was already past dawn and the sky was gray. The inn's lobby was lit by candlelight and the backyard was filled with steam. It was the chef preparing breakfast.

"Knock, knock!"

Xu Qi 'an knocked on the counter and woke up the waiter who was dozing off on the table.

He said, "Another room."

The waiter was surprised. "Why is that?"

He had a good memory and recognized that this blue-robed guest was staying at the inn at dusk.

Why would one person want two rooms? Was it too much money?

Xu Qi 'an's face turned cold. "Cut the crap."

Seeing that, the waiter did not say anything else. He took the money and registered, then passed the room key to Xu Qi 'an.

After keeping the key, Xu Qi 'an replied to Li Miaozhen,

"Three: I'm at Tongfu Inn. After entering the city, walk along the main road for a mile and you will see it."

He put the fragment of the Book of the Earth into his pocket and sat in the most conspicuous position facing the inn's entrance.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Miaozhen, Chu Yuanzhen, and Hengy Yuan appeared and entered the inn.

"Brother Chu, Master Hengy Yuan, long time no see. How have you been?" He greeted them with a smile.

Finally, he looked at Li Miaozhen, and Li Lingsu's opening words flashed through his mind — I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much. Although I'm gone, my heart has always been with you.

"Flying Swallow Heroine is as elegant as ever. Where is my concubine, Susu? Did you take care of her for me. "

Just as the words were about to come out of her mouth, she resumed the opening that matched Xu Qi 'an's persona.

Li Miaozhen smelled the familiar scent and naturally rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll let the paper doll sleep with you tonight."

Although Susu had the lotus seed, she had not regained her physical body. Xu Qi 'an knew some of the reasons. The sun was one of them, but more importantly, after the beautiful female ghost regained her human form, the corresponding spells and methods would no longer exist.

This was the price she had to pay to become a human again.

Therefore, the female ghost had not made up her mind.

The four of them looked at each other and smiled. Xu Qi 'an stood up and led the three upstairs to his new room.

He took out the key to unlock the door, lit the candle, and took out two jars of yellow wine and four bowls from the fragment of the Book of the Earth.

"This is the wine I stored during my travels. Have a taste."

"Good wine!"

Chu Yuanzhen was a wine lover. After taking a sip, his eyes lit up. "It tastes better after warming it up."

"You're a connoisseur."

Xu Qi 'an smiled.

So he asked the waiter to bring a small stove, lit a charcoal fire, warmed the wine, and chatted.

Xu Qi 'an told them in detail what had happened since he left the capital. From Yongzhou to Leizhou, and from Leizhou back to Yongzhou.

Along the way, he said everything that came to mind.

"Your experience is as colorful as ever."

Chu Yuanzhen held the big bowl, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile, "So, the Princess is now your confidante?"

Li Miaozhen's beautiful eyes narrowed.

"Don't mention it …" Xu Qi 'an lowered his head and drank.

Chu Yuanzhen smiled.

"Speaking of which, I have not seen the Princess's real face, but I know that even the Nation Master is inferior to her in terms of appearance. There are thousands of women in the capital, but the ones that can really amaze people …

"The Princess of the King of Zhenbei, the Nation Master, and Her Highness Huaiqing, there are three of them.

"It's a blessing for you to get one of them."

People had different aesthetic standards. Chu Yuanzhen was a ranger, a scholar, and a swordsman. They corresponded to beauty, talent, and swordsmanship respectively!

It happened to be this woman.

"Ah, sorry, they are all fish in my pond …" Xu Qi 'an knew that the Nation Master was in the same inn, so he did not dare to go deeper on this topic.

"It's too early to say that. Maybe our Highness Huaiqing is also secretly in love with Xu Yinluo."

Li Miaozhen snorted. She did not talk about the topic of Huaiqing, because in the Saint's opinion, it was impossible for a noble, cold, and talented woman like Huaiqing to like the dissolute and lecherous Xu Qi 'an.

Even if she had a good impression of him, it would stop there.

"Where are the others? What should we do with them?" Chu Yuanzhen asked.

"I kept them in the Buddha's Pagoda and hurriedly escaped here yesterday. The Nation Master and I only cared about recuperating."

[Dual cultivation is also a form of recuperation …] He added in his heart.

"Li Lingsu is also in the pagoda?" Li Miaozhen asked.

Chu Yuanzhen and Hengy Yuan looked over. They already knew that No.7 was Li Lingsu, the person who had been chased by his "enemies" and had disappeared for more than a year.

Xu Qi 'an nodded and gave an affirmative answer. He pondered for a moment and said,

He pondered for a moment and said, "In order to hide my identity, I am not called Xu Qi 'an, but Xu Qian. My image is that of a Transcendent Realm expert who has lived for hundreds of years, a terrifying person who can easily win against the Supervisor in chess, and an unfathomable senior expert.

"He believes it without a doubt and is respectful and reverent towards me. He only dares to criticize me in his heart."

Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen, and Hengy Yuan originally thought that it was quite normal. Xu Qi 'an's main purpose in Jianghu was to remain secretive. However, as they listened, the three owners of the Earthly Tome's skin looked at each other and fell silent.

Your excellency Xu's old habits are acting up again …

A leopard cannot change its spots …

[Haha, how would Li Lingsu feel if he knew the truth …]

After he finished speaking, Xu Qi 'an went straight to the point.

"As the saying goes, paper can't hide fire. The Holy Son will find out about my identity sooner or later. I have no idea how to deal with this. Do you have any suggestions?"

Li Miaozhen hurriedly raised her hand and suggested, "Why let him know?

"Why do we have to let him know? Instead of making things awkward for both sides, it's better to keep it a secret.

Chu Yuanzhen remembered the time when he was in the northern wilderness. He used his feet to dig out two rooms and a living room by the campfire and said seriously,

"Miaozhen, you're right."

You think the Society of the Holy Son has not died enough, so you want everyone to witness the death of his society? You two bad guys … Xu Qi 'an shook his head with a serious expression.

"No, that's too unfair to the Holy Son. He will feel that the whole world is bullying him and deceiving him. "

Chu Yuanzhen looked serious. "Ning Yan, this is your one-sided view. First of all, you have a reason to hide your identity. Second, the Holy Son is an open-minded person. He won't think that we are bullying him because of this. "

You don't even know him …

Xu Qi 'an said no, no, it's immoral.

Li Miaozhen said yes, it's okay, it's good.

Xu Qi 'an said I'm not a person with such a bad taste.

Chu Yuanzhen said none of us are.

In the end, Xu Qi 'an reluctantly accepted the suggestions of his two companions and said,

"Let's do that! Everyone, please cooperate with me and don't expose my identity. "

Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen nodded in satisfaction.

"Amitabha!"

Master Hengy Yuan, who had witnessed all this, felt that because of his kind heart, he was incompatible with them.

"By the way, why is the Grand Preceptor in Yongzhou?"

Li Miaozhen asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.

Ah, this … Xu Qi 'an's heart suddenly sank. He suddenly realized this problem.

Renzong's cultivation method had the side effect of the Karmic Fire. This was something that Li Miaozhen, the Tenzō Shōnin, and Chu Yuanzhen, the in-name disciple of Renzong, understood.

The Yuanjing Emperor wanted to dual cultivate with Luo Yuheng because luck could extinguish the Karmic Fire.

More importantly, the holders of the fragments of the Ordeal of the Earth already knew that he had luck.

Xu Qi 'an held the big bowl and took a sip of wine. When he lowered his head, he quickly glanced at Chu Yuanzhen and Li Miaozhen.

Chu Yuanzhen played with the big bowl and gently swirled the wine in a relaxed manner. But if he was not mistaken, his back had quietly straightened just now.

Li Miaozhen leaned forward and stared at him with a burning gaze.

As expected, they had some doubts …

Just as Xu Qi 'an was thinking of an excuse, there was a knock on the door of the guest room.

"I'll go open the door!"

Xu Qi 'an took the opportunity to get up, walked to the door, and pulled the bolt.

As expected, there was a stunning beauty standing at the door, smiling like a flower. It was the Grand Preceptor who had rolled in the sheets with him last night.

What was she doing here? Don't ever call me 'Darling Xu'. Xu Qi 'an felt his scalp tingle as he stepped aside and forced a smile.

"Grand Preceptor, please come in."

Luo Yuheng lightly nodded, stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

"Grand Preceptor!"

Li Miaozhen and the other two quickly got up and greeted.

Luo Yuheng smiled brightly and nodded slightly. She glanced at Chu Yuanzhen and said, "Not bad, your cultivation has improved again. Have you thought about how to advance after the fourth rank?"

Chu Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head.

She then looked at Li Miaozhen and said, "I'm in the middle stage of the fourth rank, and I can step into the peak of the fourth rank within a year. I've already surpassed your Senior Brother Li Lingsu. "

Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen both felt that the Grand Preceptor was a little different today. She seemed to have lost her usual arrogance.

Luo Yuheng looked at Xu Qi 'an and said with a smile,

"I came to Yongzhou to explore the underground palace outside the city. I heard from Xu Yinluo that the master of the underground palace was the ancient Renzong Patriarch."

"I see …" Chu Yuanzhen, who had personally experienced the underground palace, suddenly understood.

He couldn't help but think of the dangers and said with emotion,

"Actually, if Ning Yan didn't bring Miss Zhong into the tomb, we might have been able to bring Lina out when we were in the periphery."

Li Miaozhen had never been to the tomb with them, but she was familiar with this matter. She nodded and said, "Did you find anything?"

She was very careful when it came to Taoism.

Luo Yuheng smiled and said, "I haven't had the time."

Xu Qi 'an secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was surprised by the Grand Preceptor's understanding. He thought to himself, "Is this the legendary saying that when a woman falls in love with you, she will consider everything for you?"

"Why do you have to hide our relationship?"

Suddenly, Xu Qi 'an received a voice transmission from Luo Yuheng.

He looked at the Grand Preceptor without batting an eyelid. The Grand Preceptor smiled and looked at him with deep meaning.

"It's because you are a shark. If you can get along well with other sisters, I won't be so cowardly …" Xu Qi 'an didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Since you don't want to say it, I won't embarrass you. But correspondingly, you shouldn't embarrass me, right? "

"What do you mean, Grand Preceptor?"

"Xu, I give you one day to disassociate yourself from Mu Nanzi and Li Miaozhen. Tomorrow when you return to the capital, you will disassociate yourself from other women. If you still have an ambiguous relationship with other women, I will be very distressed. "

"This, this …"

"Yes, I understand Xu Lang's dilemma."

Luo Yuheng's voice transmission was full of tenderness and love.

"If it's inconvenient for you, I will personally disassociate myself from you. Mu Nanzi can retire in the Musical House in the future. "

"Are you a f * cking devil … This personality is sick …" Xu Qi 'an's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

At this time, Luo Yuheng said, "I will go back to regulate my breath. This afternoon, let's go to the underground palace in Yongzhou City."

Li Miaozhen and the others saluted. "Yes!"

After Luo Yuheng left, Li Miaozhen said,

"Take out the Buddha's Pagoda … Xu Qi 'an, Xu Qi' an? I am talking to you. "

Xu Qi 'an suddenly came to his senses and said blankly, "Ah."

Li Miaozhen frowned and said, "What are you waiting for? I want to see Li Lingsu."

"Oh, oh …"

"Yes, I need to ask that scumbag how to deal with this situation …" Xu Qi 'an moved quickly and even took out the Buddha's Pagoda in a hurry.

The dark golden pagoda was only the size of a palm, suspended in midair. The door suddenly opened and sucked everyone in.

…

Inside the pagoda, on the first floor.

Li Miaozhen and the others looked around. In front of them was the golden body of Buddha, which was more than 30 meters high. On both sides of the Buddha were nine Bodhisattvas with blurry faces, and behind the Bodhisattvas were Arhats.

These statues were tall and majestic. Compared with them, humans were as small as ants.

Li Miaozhen and Chu Yuanzhen were both Buddhists, but they were in awe for no reason.

"Amitabha!"

Hengy Yuan put his palms together and looked pious.

On the path to the Buddha's Golden Body sat four people. They were Zen Master Jing Xin, the blind Jing Yuan, the host of Dragon Breath, Miao Youfang, and the pious Li Lingsu.

Li Miaozhen chuckled and shouted, "Li Lingsu, your powerful Junior Sister is here to save you."

"Li Lingsu, your powerful junior apprentice-sister is here to save you."

He was slightly moved. He immediately opened his eyes and stared straight at Li Miaozhen.

He immediately opened his eyes and stared straight at Li Miaozhen. He said in surprise, "Junior Sister?"

Li Miaozhen examined him and teased, "I haven't seen you for a year, but you're still so lively. I thought you were going to be squeezed dry by a woman."

Li Lingsu grunted, "I haven't seen you for a year, but you haven't improved at all. You're still so frugal."

Xu Qi'an suddenly understood why Li Miaozhen chose to leave him in the lurch back then. It turned out that she had a personal grudge.

Li Lingsu then looked at Chu Yuanzhen and Hengy Yuan and smiled.

"Fellow Daoists, how should I address you?"

Li Miaozhen pointed at the azure-robed swordsman. "Number 4!"

Then, she pointed at Hengy Yuan. "Number 6!"

"Cough, cough!"

Li Lingsu coughed hard and gestured to his junior sister with his eyes not to leak the matter of the Earthly Book fragment.

At the same time, he looked at Chu Yuanzhen and Hengy Yuan in astonishment. He did not expect to meet the other two possessors of the Earthly Book fragments here.

That's not right. Back then, the possessors of the Earthly Book fragments were on guard against each other and helped each other.

How did the possessors become friends in less than a year?

I don't know what happened during this period of time.

Hmm, if it's just a code name, Xu Qian would not understand.

Muttering to himself, Li Lingsu cupped his hands to greet Chu Yuanzhen and Hengy Yuan, then introduced them.

"This is Senior Xu Qian. He is highly respected and chivalrous. He has the demeanor of a chivalrous hero, yet he does not lose his composure as a senior.

"It's all thanks to Senior Xu's help that I am able to meet all of you here …"

After saying that, he noticed that Chu Yuanzhen, Li Miaozhen, and Hengy Yuan were looking at him as if they were looking at an idiot.

No, it was more complicated than looking at an idiot, especially the detestable junior sister Li Miaozhen. Her face was flushed, and so was her snow-white neck. The muscles on her neck were twitching slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Lingsu frowned.

"I'm not laughing."

Li Miaozhen said calmly.

Chu Yuanzhen cut in at the right time and said sincerely, "To tell you the truth, we are old acquaintances with Senior Xu. Only a few people in the capital know of his existence."

'As expected, Xu Qian is a Transcendent Realm powerhouse who can play chess with the Supervisor. His identity is a secret, but those of a higher level would definitely know of him …' Li Lingsu nodded, as if he had guessed it a long time ago.

"Fellow Taoists, although I have been with Senior Xu for a long time, I still do not know his background."

Li Lingsu secretly sent a voice transmission to his junior sister and the two possessors of the Tomes of the Earth fragments. "Do you know who he is?"

Chu Yuanzhen pondered for a moment, then replied, "Xu Qian is related to the Imperial Family. As for his specific identity, I cannot tell you."

"Related to the Imperial Family …" Li Lingsu came to a sudden realization and said, "Heh, my guess was right.

He has a close relationship with the Celestial Commissioner, and is in charge of collecting the Dragon Breath. Also, with the King of Zhenbei's concubine … "

Li Lingsu's eyes widened as she transmitted her voice.

"Could it be that he is the King of Zhenbei?! That's not right. Didn't the King of Zhenbei die in the Northern Region? "

He was not well-informed, but he knew about the fall of the King of Zhenbei.

Li Miaozhen's cheeks twitched. She pursed her lips tightly, unable to hold back her laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Li Lingsu frowned.

"I'm not laughing," Li Miaozhen denied.

"You are. I've tolerated you for a long time," he said angrily.

While he was murmuring, Xu Qi 'an had already arrived in front of Miao Youfang. He was scrutinizing the host of the Dragon Breath.
