"No, this conference is a little different from previous years. Because of the frequent demon disasters and the instability of the world, the sect didn't invite many sects. Some of them also seemed to have some changes in their sects, so they sent a notice saying that they won't be participating in this Immortal Apricot Conference. Sister Liu's sect wasn't invited. I invited her to watch the practice, "Li Shu shook her head and said.
"I can only watch from the sidelines. I don't have the opportunity to participate. When the time comes, I will watch Shen Daoyou show off his invincible power," Liu Qing said with a smile.
"I will also cheer for Elder Brother Shen …" Li Shu also said.
"I wonder what other sects are participating in this meeting?" Shen Luo asked with an unconcerned smile.
"In addition to the Tang Dynasty government, Transformation Temple, and our Mount Putuo, there are also Dragon Palace, Green Lotus Temple, Jiuhua Mountain, Giant Sword Sect, Taiying Temple, and Mount Emei. Each sect has only sent one Out-of-Body Stage disciple, and the number of people is less than one-third of the previous years, "Li Shu said.
"Dragon Palace will also participate?" Chen Luo asked in surprise.
"Yes, I heard that the Ninth Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace will participate," Li Shu said with a slightly unnatural expression.
Shen Luo knew that the relationship between the Li Tang Imperial Family and the Dragon Race was somewhat subtle, so he didn't ask about it in detail. However, when he heard that he might see the Ninth Prince, Ao Hong, he was somewhat happy.
In addition, according to Li Shu, the number of people participating in this Immortal Apricot Conference had been greatly reduced. This was also good news for him. After all, this also meant that the number of people competing with him for the Immortal Apricot had decreased.
"However, although the number of people participating this time is small, those who can come are basically the most outstanding disciples of the same realm. Take our Mount Putuo as an example. Most of the participants are Senior Sister Lu Ying, who is now in the late Out-of-Body Stage, "Li Shu continued.
"Miss Li, I don't know if there is a Nie Caizhu in your sect?" Shen Luo slightly frowned and asked with a smile.
Hearing Shen Luo's question, Li Shu clapped her hands and said, "Alas, I almost forgot about Junior Sister Nie. She is now at the peak of Out-of-Body Realm, but … with her temperament, she won't participate in this Immortal Apricot Conference …"
Towards the end, her voice became softer and softer, as if she was talking to herself.
"Cai Zhu … has already reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle?" Shen Luo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing those words, but he quickly calmed himself down and regained his composure.
The fact that the mysterious elder had taken a liking to her and forcefully brought her to Mount Putuo to cultivate meant that he must have seen her outstanding talent. It was no surprise that he had reached Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle. After all, he had only cultivated for a short period of time in her dreams, but he had already transcended his tribulation and ascended to immortality.
"Big Brother Chen, why did you suddenly ask about Junior Sister Nie?" Li Shu returned to her senses and asked.
"She is my fiancée," Shen Luo said indifferently.
Hearing this, Li Shu's eyes widened. Her pupils trembled and her face was filled with disbelief.
On the other hand, Liu Qing's eyes flashed slightly, but her expression didn't change much.
"You and Junior Martial Sister Nie … are, are engaged?" Li Shu couldn't help but cry out.
"We were engaged when we were children," Shen Luo said calmly, not surprised by her reaction.
Li Shu was silent for a long time to digest this news. Then, she murmured, "No wonder Junior Martial Sister Nie was unmoved no matter how hard Senior Martial Brother Zhou Yu tried to please her."
"Ahem …" Shen Luo heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had no choice but to cough twice.
"This news was a bit sudden, so I lost my composure for a moment. I'm really sorry," Li Shu said embarrassedly.
"It's okay," Shen Luo shook his head with a smile.
"Big Brother Chen, are you going to see Junior Martial Sister Nie? Although I'm not familiar with her, I know where her cave residence is. I can lead the way for you, "Li Shu said seriously as if she wanted to make up for her mistake.
"No need. Since I'm already at Mount Putuo, I'm not in a hurry. It won't be too late to see her again after the completion of the Immortal Apricot Conference, "Shen Luo waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Okay, then I won't do anything unnecessary," Li Shu said.
"Yo, Shen Luo, why are you accompanied by beauties everywhere you go? You really make others envious." At this moment, a teasing voice came from afar.
Shen Luo looked helplessly and saw Bai Xiaotian walking over with a scarlet wine gourd in one hand and a fine steel fan in the other.
"Senior Martial Brother Bai," Li Shu called from afar.
"Junior Martial Sister Li …" Bai Xiaotian greeted with a smile and walked over.
Bai Xiaotian and Liu Qing also got to know each other after Li Shu introduced them.
"Where did you go?" Shen Luo asked.
"I borrowed a pot of wine from Giant Sword Sect's Fellow Zheng Jun." Bai Xiaotian waved the wine pot in his hand and said with a smile.
"You can meet an old friend here?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"Not an old friend, but a new friend I just met. I smelled the wine fragrance from afar and couldn't help but go over. Fellow Zheng is also a forthright person. You can be considered to have met a bosom friend while drinking. Haha … "Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.
"I've heard of Senior Martial Brother Zheng Jun's name in the past. I heard that he's already at the late stage of the Out of Body Stage. Two years ago, he thwarted a conspiracy of Demons with the help of his sect's teachers. He's very powerful," Li Shu said after a moment of silence.
"Why? Is Junior Martial Sister Li here to inform you?" Bai Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised.
"Elder Brother Shen doesn't know much about this Immortal Apricot Conference. Isn't it good if I can help a little?" Li Shu said.
"Haha, that's great," Bai Xiaotian nodded and said with a smile.
They chatted for a while. Then, Li Shu took Liu Qing and left.
"Shen Luo, I didn't know that your youngest daughter was so popular." Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo stood side by side. He bumped his shoulder and said with a smile.
"Why? Are you envious?" Shen Luo asked.
"Alas, I'm now a member of the Zen Sect. I have to restrain myself and control my desires," Bai Xiaotian said with a long sigh.
"If that's the case, shouldn't you quit drinking first?" Shen Luo said sarcastically.
"That's unreasonable. Don't you know that wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha's heart remains?" Bai Xiaotian said with a look of righteousness.
Shen Luo heard this and rolled his eyes at him. He didn't say anything.
"But seriously, why do I feel that there's something wrong with the way that girl looks at you?" Bai Xiaotian suddenly became serious. He stroked his chin and said.
"Don't talk nonsense. She's the princess of the Tang Empire," Shen Luo said softly.
"I'm not talking about her. I'm talking about Miss Liu Qing," Bai Xiaotian shook his head and said.
"You drank too much. Why are you getting more and more ridiculous …" Shen Luo couldn't be bothered to argue with him. He waved his hand and turned to go back to the attic.
Bai Xiaotian smiled and didn't say anything. He turned and went back to his attic.
