Xia Ruofei frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything.
He was just a little surprised. Why were there other people in this courtyard? Elder Liu, who was carrying the birdcage, couldn't be a member of the Water Yuan Sect. Otherwise, as the head of the sect, Shen Hu wouldn't have such an attitude.
What's more, the Water Yuan Sect was a vassal sect that didn't even have a cultivator in the Gold Core Realm. At most, they could only get one or two spots. The reason why Shen Hu could get two spots was probably because Chen Xuan had considered that Lu You was in the Water Yuan Sect.
Elder Liu looked Xia Ruofei up and down and said with a smile, "He should be an ordinary person from the secular world, right? Head Shen, it's a taboo to bring an ordinary person into the Tianyi Palace without permission! "
Xia Ruofei's cultivation had reached the middle stage of the Gold Core Realm, and his spiritual force had reached the Spirit Transformation Realm. However, Elder Liu, who was carrying the birdcage, was just a little cultivator at the seventh layer of the Qi Refining Realm. How could he feel the energy fluctuations on Xia Ruofei?
Xia Ruofei looked thin and weak, as if she was harmless to humans and animals. Moreover, she was wearing the casual clothes of the secular world. This Elder Liu naturally assumed that Xia Ruofei was an ordinary person.
What Elder Liu said was actually what Lu You was most worried about. She couldn't help but look at Shen Hu anxiously.
In fact, she knew very well that although Shen Hu was a man of his word and had a high prestige in the Water Yuan Sect, he was actually not a big deal in the Tianyi Palace.
When they came to the Tianyi Palace this time, even ordinary elders didn't come to greet them. Instead, an elder's personal disciple came.
Even the second-generation disciple's cultivation had reached the ninth layer of the Qi Refining Realm. His strength was much higher than Shen Hu's.
This elder's personal disciple didn't take Shen Hu seriously. The whole process of receiving them was very reserved. After arranging for them to stay in this courtyard, he directly left as if he had completed his task.
If Elder Liu really went to report them to the people of the Tianyi Palace, Shen Hu wouldn't be able to cover it up.
It should be noted that there were many disciples of the Tianyi Palace stationed in the reception area. They were mainly there to serve the guests.
Lu You was a little flustered, but Shen Hu was very calm, because he knew that Xia Ruofei was not an ordinary person in the secular world at all. He was a master in the Elixir Realm and a distinguished guest invited by the Tianyi Palace to attend the ceremony. Moreover, he was on good terms with the young head, Chen Xuan.
Shen Hu smiled faintly and said, "Elder Liu doesn't need to worry about that."
After that, Shen Hu said respectfully, "Mr. Xia, this way please!"
Xia Ruofei glanced at Elder Liu, then nodded slightly and followed Shen Hu to the west wing.
Lu You, on the other hand, looked worried. She hesitated for a moment but did not say anything. She stepped forward and followed him.
Shen Hu invited Xia Ruofei into the house and hurriedly began to make tea. His enthusiastic attitude made Lu You somewhat baffled.
In fact, Shen Hu was already very restrained. If it weren't for the fact that he had to hide it from Lu You, his attitude towards Xia Ruofei would definitely be much more respectful than it was now.
Xia Ruofei looked around the furnishings in the house and found that it was indeed a little worse than the one he lived in. It seemed that the courtyards used to entertain guests were also divided into different grades.
The one he lived in should be the best one in terms of location and grade.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sect Leader Shen, why are there other people living in this courtyard? What did Elder Liu do just now? "
Shen Hu was busy boiling water as he said, "Mr. Xia, the Tianyi Palace has invited a lot of people to attend the ceremony this time. Except for some distinguished guests, such as the heads of large sects or masters at the Gold Core stage, who can enjoy the treatment of their own courtyards, small sects like us have to struggle to live here. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough courtyards!"
Speaking of this, Shen Hu scooped out some tea leaves from the wooden box and continued, "Elder Liu is an elder of the Golden Sword Sect. The Golden Sword Sect is similar to our Water Yuan Sect. Their head is also a cultivator at the ninth tier of the Qi Refining realm. In addition to the Golden Sword Sect, there are also cultivators from the Luoshen Sect living in this courtyard, so the living conditions are a little worse. The head of the sect can still have his own room, but Lu You shares a room with another female cultivator from the Luoshen Sect."
The layout of this courtyard was similar to that of Xia Ruofei's. There were two wings on the east and west, and a master bedroom suite in the middle.
Although Shen Hu enjoyed a single room, he lived in the west wing. Obviously, the status of the Water Yuan Sect was relatively low among the three sects.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "The living conditions are a little bad. Since the Tianyi Palace has invited everyone to attend the ceremony, the living conditions should be better! At least everyone has a single room. In this way, we won't disturb each other! "
Hearing this, Lu You was shocked and hurriedly said, "Ruofei, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. Be careful not to get into trouble!"
Shen Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If it were him, Shen Hu wouldn't dare to say what Xia Ruofei had said. However, given the relationship between Xia Ruofei and Chen Xuan, it was naturally okay for him to say it half-jokingly.
However, it was not easy to answer this question. Shen Hu could only smile awkwardly and continue to make tea with his head lowered.
Seeing that Xia Ruofei just smiled and didn't take it seriously, and that Shen Hu didn't say anything, Lu You couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Master, will Liu Ming really tell on us to the Tianyi Palace? Shouldn't you make preparations in advance? "
Shen Hu smiled calmly and said, "It's okay! Even if the Tianyi Palace knows, they won't blame us. "
Without Xia Ruofei's permission, he couldn't reveal Xia Ruofei's identity, so he could only give an ambiguous answer.
Shen Hu couldn't help but feel a little tired, especially regretting bringing Lu You here. Now, he didn't know if Xia Ruofei would blame him. In addition, he had to be careful in the next few days. If Xia Ruofei's identity was known by Lu You, he would definitely be involved.
Shen Hu had always been trying his best to cultivate Lu You to the ninth layer of the Qi Refining realm. In this way, he would be able to get the Cultivation Method of the sect that he had always dreamed of.
But once Xia Ruofei got angry, the Cultivation Method would immediately become a bubble.
Seeing that Lu You was really worried, Xia Ruofei couldn't bear it, so he sent a voice transmission to Shen Hu and said, "Since Lu You has already seen it, it's impossible to completely hide it from her. After all, I'll be watching Sect Leader Chen's breakthrough tomorrow. Many cultivators are familiar with me, so it's inevitable that we'll greet each other. You can tell Lu You some of my situation appropriately."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei paused for a moment, and then said seriously, "But remember, you can't leak the fact that I've provided her with Cultivation Methods and Spiritual Crystals! In addition, it's best not to let her know that I've reached the Gold Core Realm. "
Shen Hu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Okay, Senior Xia! I'm sorry! This time, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought Lu You here. "
"Let's not talk about this. I just don't want Lu You to feel that she owes me a favor. In fact, it's not a big deal if she knows." Xia Ruofei sent a voice transmission, "Okay, I'll leave after sitting for a while. You can tell Lu You some more information later!"
"Understood, Senior Xia!" Shen Hu sent a voice transmission.
The two of them were communicating with each other right under Lu You's nose, but Lu You, a low-level Qi Refining cultivator, didn't notice anything at all.
She just felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. Everyone suddenly stopped talking, and only Shen Hu was still making tea.
Just as Lu You was thinking about what to say, Shen Hu had already made the tea. He poured out three cups and placed one in front of Xia Ruofei. He said with a smile, "Mr. Xia, try the tea I made! This is rock tea given to me by a friend of Mount Wuyi. It's said that the quality is good, but my tea making skills are a little rusty, so it may not be good enough for Mr. Xia. "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Sect Leader Shen's tea making technique is smooth and smooth, and it's in accordance with the way of nature. At first glance, I can tell that you're a master of tea. You're too modest!"
"I don't deserve such high praise!" Shen Hu hurriedly said. Then he handed another cup of tea to Lu You and said with a smile, "Lu You, try it too!"
Lu You was a little flattered and quickly said, "Thank you, Master!"
Lu You used to be a proud girl. Her superior family environment had shaped her character since she was a child. However, after accidentally entering the cultivation world, she was like an ignorant child who had entered a completely strange world. Especially after she realized that her strength was low, her character had changed a lot.
Xia Ruofei picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he closed his eyes and savored the aftertaste. Only then did he open his eyes and give Shen Hu a thumbs-up. He said, "The tea is fragrant and lingers in my mouth. It's really good tea! Sect Leader Shen is a person who knows how to enjoy life! "
"I'm really a little scared to receive such high praise from Mr. Xia!" Shen Hu said happily.
The three of them chatted while drinking tea. The topics they talked about were not too much about the cultivation world. After all, with Lu You present, Shen Hu was not sure what to say and what not to say.
However, Shen Hu had always lived in the United Kingdom, and the Water Yuan Sect was not completely isolated from the world. The sect was located in a manor, and he even held a position in the local Chinese society. Therefore, he was very familiar with modern society, and he could talk about some topics logically.
After sitting for a while, Xia Ruofei got up and said, "Sect Leader Shen, I've disturbed you for so long. It's time for me to go back. Goodbye."
"Mr. Xia, aren't you going to stay a little longer?" Shen Hu also stood up and said.
"No, it's almost lunchtime." Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's time for me to go back."
"Well, I'll send Mr. Xia off," Shen Hu said.
Lu You hesitated for a moment and said, "Ruofei, you live in that yard. I'd better send you there! If you go to the wrong place, the consequences may be very serious. "
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I live nearby. It's very close. Don't worry! I'm an adult. There's only one way to get there. How can I get lost? I promise I'll go back directly. I won't run around, okay? "
Shen Hu also said, "Lu You, don't worry so much. Mr. Xia knows what he's doing."
"Yes, teacher!" Lu You said helplessly.
She thought for a moment and immediately said, "By the way, Ruofei, wait a minute! I have something for you! "
"What are you going to give me?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile.
Lu You didn't answer Xia Ruofei. Instead, she looked at Shen Hu and asked respectfully, "Teacher, I want to give the Fu Kang Pill you gave me to Ruofei. Is that okay?"
Shen Hu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Fu Kang Pill was actually a kind of pill to strengthen the body. It was far from being a real pill. Shen Hu, a cultivator in the ninth layer of the Qi Refining realm, could make the pill. How good could the effect be? It wasn't even good enough for a Golden Core cultivator like Xia Ruofei to eat like a candy!
Of course, the Fu Kang Pill was also a good thing in the Shui Yuan Sect. Generally, only the most outstanding disciples would be rewarded. Moreover, it was still effective for low-level cultivators in the Qi Refining realm. For ordinary people who didn't cultivate, it could be regarded as a great tonic. It was more effective than any precious tonic on the market.
Lu You probably took into account that Xia Ruofei wasn't a cultivator and that taking the Fu Kang Pill would be very beneficial to the body. Therefore, she thought of giving the Fu Kang Pill to Xia Ruofei.
However, this Fu Kang Pill was given to her by Shen Hu. Now that she wanted to give it to Xia Ruofei in front of Shen Hu, she definitely had to ask for Shen Hu's opinion. Otherwise, it would be a bit disrespectful.
Shen Hu couldn't show it. She could only nod and say, "Of course. What has been given to you is yours. You have the right to deal with it."
"Thank you, teacher!" Lu You said happily.
Then she said to Xia Ruofei, "Ruofei, wait for me! It's in the room next door. It'll be quick! "
After that, Lu You quickly walked out of Shen Hu's room and walked next door.
Xia Ruofei looked at Shen Hu and asked, "What is the Fu Kang Pill?"
Shen Hu awkwardly explained the situation of the Fu Kang Pill to Xia Ruofei, and then whispered, "I've made a fool of myself in front of Senior Xia …"
Xia Ruofei waved his hand dismissively and said, "This is also Lu You's goodwill! I just thought about it. You can say this to Lu You … "
Just as Xia Ruofei said this, he heard a sharp voice coming from next door, "Who let you barge in! Don't you know I'm cultivating? Can you bear the responsibility for disturbing my cultivation? "
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but frown and walk out. Shen Hu's face also changed slightly and she quickly followed.
At this time, Lu You said in the room, "Senior Sister Lu, I just came in to take something …"
"You think you can just barge in to take something? If I was disturbed by you just now and suffered Qigong Deviation, how many lives do you have to pay for it? "The female cultivator surnamed Lu snorted and said," Get out! "
"You …" Lu You was obviously a little angry, but she still held back and said with restraint, "I'll leave after taking something …"
"I told you to get out right now! Don't you understand human language? "The female cultivator surnamed Lu said with a cold snort.
Lu You couldn't help but say, "Senior Sister Lu, aren't you going a little too far? This is also my room. We are all guests of the Tianyi Palace. Can't I even go into my room to take something? "
"Humph, how dare an insignificant cultivator claim to be a guest of the Tianyi Palace?" The female cultivator surnamed Lu said disdainfully, "I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to get out or not? Don't force me to throw you out. If that happens, your Sect Leader Shen will be embarrassed! "
