The change in Xu Liao's expression attracted Bai Qiulian's attention. Bai Qiulian couldn't help but cast a questioning look at him. Xu Liao passed the information of the battle beasts over. Bai Qiulian giggled and said, "You'll be working with Sister Ren Lingxuan in the future!"
Bai Qiulian didn't make any further comments. She just smiled and let it go. Xu Liao, however, felt that it wasn't right. He could only put this matter aside for the time being.
In less than three days after Taiqing Heaven was opened, the reinforcements from various sects arrived one after another. Just like Dongxuanxian School, only a portion of their base was left. Almost half of the sects had relocated.
Only a small portion of the sects with strong foundations didn't move. After all, Taiqing Heaven was opened by Taiqing Young Master. In the future, they would be controlled by others and suppressed by West Kunlun.
This was especially so for the five upper sects. They had all sent a small portion of their disciples, but even this small portion of their disciples had more people than the 13 lower sects. Their cultivation levels were also more powerful, showing the strength of the top sects.
Xu Liao, Bai Qiulian, and Ren Lingxuan returned to Earth with the people who retreated after the first wave of reinforcements arrived in Taiqing Heaven.
Xu Liao felt that it was meaningless to stay in Taiqing Heaven. After all, he was still a student and worried about his mother. Since there was nothing else here, he naturally didn't want to stay for long.
Bai Qiulian moved with him. Ren Lingxuan could actually stay in Taiqing Heaven for a few more days. The little fox had just become an elder and still had many things to do. However, she insisted on going back. There were naturally some reasons that weren't easy to explain.
Xu Liao didn't want to find out about that reason.
In order to transport people and resources, the five Perfected Persons of the eighteen immortal sects specially built a temporary passageway. As long as one had the cultivation of a Da Yan, they could use a transportation tool that could cross the void such as a dragon boat or Cetus. This temporary passageway would most likely become permanent in the future. That way, as long as there was a Daoist who could control the Void Traversal Artifact, the people of the Grand Pure Heavens would be able to communicate with Earth normally.
Ren Lingxuan had the cultivation of a Diviner, and Bai Qiulian had the cultivation of a Void Cetus. However, the three of them still chose to move with the retreating group.
This time, the people who had returned to Earth would not return for the time being. Furthermore, the 18 Immortal Sects had also transported a portion of the Dragon Flower Association's resources back. Hence, the Eastern Sky Sect's Void Cetus Constellation was packed to the brim.
Ren Lingxuan was an elder, and Xu Liao was a guardian of the sect, which was why they were given a separate cabin. However, the cabin wasn't big, and the three of them could only sit cross-legged and meditate. It was impossible for them to sleep even if they wanted to.
Xu Liao, on the other hand, didn't mind. He formed a hand seal and remained still. Bai Qiulian and Ren Lingxuan, on the other hand, didn't want to be so quiet. The two of them didn't seem to have any disagreements. After chatting for a while, they took out a chessboard and started playing chess.
Both of them were born in the seven great pure-blooded aristocratic families. They were the cream of the crop among the demons, so they weren't lacking in any culture. They could play the most fashionable culture, as well as the most classical of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. However, the two girls weren't in the mood to play chess. Every move would take more than ten minutes before they casually made a move.
After Ren Lingxuan made a dozen moves, she suddenly laughed. "Qiulian! How confident are you in breaking through to Dayan now? "
Bai Qiulian was slightly taken aback. Ren Lingxuan's words had hit the nail on the head.
Even Xu Liao could tell that Bai Qiulian had gradually lost her sharpness after following him. How could a smart girl like Bai Qiulian not feel it? She changed to cultivating spirit qi because of Xu Liao's help, who taught her the Star Swallowing Stance. She could break through to the Heaven Spirit Realm because Xu Liao gave her the White Flood Dragon Clan's inheritance talisman. Her cultivation could even improve further because of Xu Liao, where she received the ancient Green Dragon's bloodline inheritance …
However, if she wanted to break through to Dayan, these benefits that ordinary people couldn't imagine had become a stumbling block in front of her.
If Bai Qiulian wanted to break through again and improve her cultivation, she could only break through the barrier in her heart. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to find that sliver of opportunity to break through.
Ren Lingxuan smiled and said, "My problem is similar to yours. I was able to break through to Dayan because Xu Liao gave me the Heavenly Fox Clan's inheritance talisman. However, if I want to improve further and step into the Dao Being Realm, I have to stabilize my foundation."
Bai Qiulian placed a chess piece casually, but her chess position was a little messed up and was killed by Ren Lingxuan. Under normal circumstances, Bai Qiulian would never make such a mistake. However, she wasn't in the mood to compete on the chessboard.
Ren Lingxuan giggled and said, "Qiu Lian! You haven't gotten that human girl yet, right? "
Bai Qiulian sighed and said, "Not yet!"
Ren Lingxuan pursed her lips and smiled. "Speaking of which, it was really dangerous. If that human girl had confessed to Xu Liao a few days earlier, you might never have had the chance!"
Bai Qiulian was also aware of this. If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Liao thought that Qu Lei had been rejecting him, he wouldn't have gotten together with her. Sometimes, it was a competition to see who was faster and more ruthless. Although Bai Qiulian had some feelings for Xu Liao back then, she didn't do anything out of line. She didn't show any intention of pursuing him, and all she did was create opportunities.
If it was another opponent, such as Ren Lingxuan, Bai Qiulian might be in Qu Lei's position and suffer a crushing defeat.
Bai Qiulian actually didn't know how to pursue guys. It was mostly due to luck that she could get together with Xu Liao. If it wasn't for so many coincidences, she didn't think that she had much of a chance.
Seeing that Bai Qiulian didn't reply to her, Ren Lingxuan sighed and muttered to herself, "I lost because I was too late! At that time, I didn't think about finding a guy who was inferior to me in every aspect, nor did I think about taking the initiative instead of waiting for someone to pursue me. Even though Xu Liao was already outstanding at that time, and I was a little tempted by him … "
Bai Qiulian was a little afraid because she and Xu Liao weren't boyfriends at that time, and Xu Liao didn't even have that kind of thought. She only realized that Xu Liao matured very slowly after spending some time with him, and he rarely had the urge to be intimate with her, even though the two of them had been together for a long time.
If Ren Lingxuan had reacted earlier and made the first move, she would have had ample opportunities before she brought Xu Liao back to the Bai Family's Western Profound Grotto-Heaven.
Bai Qiulian smiled and lowered her head gently, revealing her boundless flirtatiousness. With a hint of joy, she said, "Some people came early, but they didn't say anything. Some people had the opportunity, but they didn't make a move … I came at the right time, and I made my move at the right time. This must be fate! Before Xu Liao's feelings were confirmed, I didn't have any chance of winning. However, that's just how his personality is. Once it's confirmed, it won't change. "
