Lu Xiaotian waved his hand, sending Luo Qian, Xiang Hua, and Joe Yu over with a gentle wind. The Misty Flying Sword suddenly enlarged, forming a huge light shield that enveloped everyone.
"Junior Brother Luo, I'll take you to treat your injuries first." Seeing Luo Qian's current miserable state, Lu Xiaotian sighed in his heart. At the same time, he also felt somewhat fortunate that Luo Qian was still alive. Although Luo Qian's current state looked miserable, as long as he was still alive, Lu Xiaotian would always have a way to heal him.
"Brother Lu, let's go to Qiao Lan's place. Qiao Lan's injuries are more serious than mine." Luo Qian shook his head and said with a worried expression.
"Qiao Lan is also with you?" Lu Xiaotian was quite surprised. In that situation, being able to escape with their lives was already good enough. He didn't expect that Luo Qian and Qiao Lan would still be together.
"We've always been together, even Brother Niu. Sigh, let's wait until we see Qiao Lan." Luo Qian sighed.
When Lu Xiaotian heard this, he knew that the situation was probably worse than he had imagined. It seemed that these people had suffered a lot since they left the secret territory.
The enlarged Flying Sword carried everyone in the direction that Luo Qian had pointed out. They passed through the lush mountains and clear rivers. The scenery of Xiangdu was beautiful. The blue sky was as pure as a gem.
However, at this time, no one was in the mood to appreciate this pleasant scenery. Everyone had their own thoughts. Joe Yu's eyes were filled with tears as he obediently stayed by Luo Qian's side, helping Luo Qian wipe the bloodstains on his body. Xiang Hua was also helping from the side.
"Uncle Beard, you have to save Martial Uncle. He was injured by that bastard because he was trying to save me." Joe Yu said while cleaning Luo Qian's wounds with tears streaming down his face.
Lu Xiaotian glanced at Joe Yu and Xiang Hua and said, "I will take care of your Martial Uncle's injuries. You don't have to worry about it. If you have some time, you should improve your cultivation. In the world of cultivators, the weak are prey to the strong. Although we don't resort to trickery, at the very least, we should have the strength to protect ourselves and our loved ones when others bully us."
"Thank you, Senior." Xiang Hua nodded respectfully. Joe Yu snorted and did not reply.
"From what happened today, I can see that your character is not bad. If you still want to be my disciple, you can be my registered disciple," Lu Xiaotian said.
Xiang Hua suddenly raised his head in shock and looked at Lu Xiaotian in disbelief. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and perform the apprenticeship ceremony. I'm afraid Uncle Beard will go back on his word. "Joe Yu pushed Xiang Hua.
"Yes, yes. Master, please accept this disciple's bow!" Xiang Hua said in a trembling voice as he bent his knees and bowed.
Lu Xiaotian didn't stop him and accepted Xiang Hua's bow. Xiang Hua didn't seem to be alert and even seemed a little simple and honest. His aptitude wasn't excellent, but it was still good. What was rare was his determination, which was quite similar to his own. He was also willing to work hard in cultivation. If he had the opportunity in the future, he would also have some achievements.
"Get up. Master can lead you through the door. Cultivation depends on the individual. How far you can go in the future will depend on your own luck."
Lu Xiaotian reached out and waved his hand. A gentle male Dao lifted Xiang Hua up. Xiang Hua was still so excited that he couldn't control himself. At the same time, his heart was filled with emotion. Back then, he had offered a generous gift, but the other party had refused to accept him as a disciple. Now, because he had overestimated himself to save this Martial Uncle, the other party had accepted him. The affairs of the world were truly unpredictable.
"Congratulations to Mister for obtaining an excellent disciple," Huya said in a timely manner.
"His temperament is passable. As for whether or not he's an excellent disciple, time will tell." Lu Xiaotian didn't take it to heart. Xiang Hua next to him gave a simple and honest smile. He didn't feel at all that Lu Xiaotian's words were belittling him.
"This time you're a real Senior Apprentice Brother," Joe Yu knew about Xiang Hua's past and sincerely felt happy for Xiang Hua.
"Including the Qi Condensation disciples, there are no less than a hundred thousand disciples in the palace. Senior Apprentice Brother has never accepted a single one as a disciple. To be able to become Senior Apprentice Brother's disciple, it can be considered a blessing for the two of you." Luo Qian was half happy and half emotional.
Joe Yu looked suspiciously at Luo Qian and then at Lu Xiaotian. Huya and Xiang Hua also had the same doubts in their hearts. Although they had been together with Lu Xiaotian for some time, Lu Xiaotian was still extremely mysterious. In the past, it didn't matter. But ever since Luo Qian, Lu Xiaotian's Junior Apprentice Brother, appeared, their hearts felt like they were being scratched by a cat. They all speculated about the origins of Lu Xiaotian and Luo Qian. It seemed that they were born in an immortal sect. However, the Scarlet Abyss Continent was established by cultivation families and immortal dynasties. There were no major immortal sects.
The place Luo Qian spoke of was a valley at the edge of Xiangdu. There were a few thatched cottages built beside a clear stream.
This place was called Xiangdu Mountain. Swallows and sparrows flocked together. Beside the stream, a few black salamanders saw people land and cried out a few times before diving into the water.
It was a shriveled woman with a sallow face. One could vaguely see the familiarity in her eyes from the past. But from her appearance, she almost looked like an old woman.
"Qiao Lan, we haven't seen each other for several decades. I didn't expect you to be injured so badly." Lu Xiaotian recognized this old woman as Qiao Lan at a glance. Her sallow face carried a few wisps of green and her expression was sluggish. Clearly, her Nascent Soul was damaged.
Qiao Lan was startled at first. Then, with an expression of disbelief, she said, "Lu, Brother Lu, it's actually you. That's, that's great."
"Luo Qian, you, how did you become like this? Did you fight with someone?" When she saw Luo Qian again, Qiao Lan's expression suddenly changed greatly.
"It's okay. We finally found Brother Lu. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Luo Qian smiled weakly.
"How can it be okay? You're already like this." Qiao Lan looked at Lu Xiaotian with a worried expression.
"Junwang Fei, you're in charge of guarding the surroundings. Don't let strangers come near. I haven't seen Junior Martial Brother Luo and Qiao Lan for many years. There are some things we need to discuss," Lu Xiaotian said to Huya.
Huya nodded. Nascent Soul cultivators rarely came to Xiangdu Mountain. Although her combat strength was not outstanding, as long as there were no Nascent Soul cultivators, it would not be difficult for her to be responsible for not letting low-level cultivators disturb them.
Lu Xiaotian glanced at Xiang Hua and Joe Yu and said, "You two, follow Junwang Fei and take a look around. I still have something to discuss with your Martial Uncle."
"Yes, Master." Xiang Hua nodded respectfully. Joe Yu wrinkled his nose and followed Huya to the side with Xiang Hua.
"I was originally a cripple. Now, I'm just a little more crippled. It doesn't matter." Luo Qian laughed self-deprecatingly. "Fortunately, I've found Senior Martial Brother. I can also take off this heavy burden."
