"Three months ago …" Su Yuqing pondered for a moment. "I don't know about this. Recently, your Martial Uncle Chen Xuanhai has been in charge. If there were any intruders, he was the one who captured them. Let me ask him."
Since she was the Senior Sister of her disciple's savior, she wasn't an outsider. If she was really trapped in Fangcun Mountain, it wouldn't matter if she was released.
As she spoke, she flicked her finger, and a ray of spiritual light shot out.
"After talking so much, I forgot to ask. What's the name of that Lu kid and where is he from?" Su Yuqing asked. She was already prepared to meet Lu Ye, so she naturally had to find out more about his background.
Such a junior was upright and noble in character. Not only did he have extraordinary means, but he also had an expert behind him. Given time, he would definitely become a capable person. As the master, Su Yuqing was happy to see her disciple befriend such a person.
"His name is Lu Ye. He's from the Nine Heavens Realm!"
"Lu Ye from the Nine Heavens Realm …" Su Yuqing nodded slightly. Just as she was thinking about which realm the Nine Heavens Realm was, she suddenly felt a sense of deja vu. Then, her expression changed. "Lu Yiye from the Nine Heavens Realm?"
Haitang blinked. She didn't know why her Master had such a big reaction, but she still corrected her Master. "Master, it's Lu Ye, not Lu Yiye."
Su Yuqing acted as if she didn't hear anything. Her Divine Sense surged out again.
At the same time, in the guest hall of the valley, Lu Ye frowned. Why is there no end to this? Just now, a Sunshine Realm cultivator's Divine Sense came to check on me, and now there's another one. Is she afraid that I'm a thief or something?
What he didn't know was that Su Yuqing's previous check was out of consideration. Now, she was checking on him for another reason. After a while, the feeling of being checked disappeared.
In the main hall of the Immortal Spirit Mountain, Su Yuqing was almost certain that the Lu Ye from the Nine Heavens Realm that her disciple brought back was the junior she knew.
Because their cultivations matched!
Speaking of which, it was a coincidence that she knew the name Lu Yiye from the Realm of Nine Heavens. More than half a year ago, the Fangcun Mountain passed by a top-level realm. She was acquainted with a powerhouse in that realm, so she went to disturb him for a few days. While chatting with that powerhouse, he told her something interesting. It was the battle for the Spirit Sea at the Reincarnation Tree.
It was said that in the battle for the Divine Sea, an Eighth Order Divine Sea Realm master from the Nine Heavens World swept through the Blood Race by himself, killing all the Divine Sea Realm juniors who participated in the battle. Not only that, even the Insect Race suffered a calamity at his hands. Although he didn't completely wipe them out, it was close.
After that, this Eighth Order Divine Sea Realm junior, with a cultivation weaker than everyone else's, suppressed all the top geniuses of the Stone Clan and killed a genius from the Yellow Dragon Realm. Even the rising stars of the Yellow Dragon Realm didn't dare to face him head-on, and in the end, he won first place, shocking everyone.
And that junior was Lu Yiye from the Realm of Nine Heavens!
Now, the Blood Race and the Insect Race had jointly issued a bounty in the Starry Sky. Anyone who could kill Lu Yiye from the Realm of Nine Heavens could take his head and receive a large reward from the two races. The reward was so generous that even Sunshine Realm cultivators would be tempted.
It could be said that the Blood Race and the Insect Race had suffered a great loss in the battle for the Divine Sea because of Lu Yiye. Now, they were willing to pay any price to take revenge.
For a Sunshine Realm Master like Su Yuqing, this kind of competition between juniors was just an interesting thing. When she heard about it, although she was surprised by Lu Yiye's deep background, she didn't take it to heart.
Since ancient times, there were many monstrous geniuses from various races. The more monstrous a cultivator was, the harder it was for them to grow. On the contrary, those who didn't show their prowess when they were young often ended up in high positions.
But she never expected that the protagonist of the interesting story would come to the Fangcun Mountain!
Although their names were different, their realms were the same. Moreover, their names only differed by one word, and their cultivations matched. That was enough.
Rumor had it that the person who had brought Lu Yiye to the Divine Sea Battle had been a reclusive powerhouse. That person had directly taken out a nine-star treasure and tossed it into the Reincarnation Tree's treasure pool. In the end, he had profited greatly.
A powerful cultivator who could take out a nine-star treasure so casually was naturally not to be underestimated. With such a powerful cultivator, the secret technique of the golden beast sealed in Lu Yiye's saber could be explained. It must have come from that powerful cultivator.
But she didn't know that all of Lu Yiye's deductions were correct except for the one about the seal in the saber. It could be said that it was an accident.
At this moment, a ray of light flew in from outside. It was Chen Xuanhai's reply. The ray of light landed in Su Yuqing's hand. She checked it and understood.
Haitang asked, "Master, is that senior sister of Junior Brother Lu in our Fangcun Mountain?"
Su Yuqing glanced at her, nodded, and said, "Yes. Three months ago, she accidentally trespassed here and was captured by Chen Xuanhai." Haitang instantly became nervous. "She's not injured, right?" If she was injured, it would be difficult to explain to Junior Brother Lu.
"She's not injured." Su Yuqing shook her head. "You should know the rules of this realm. Trespassers will only be punished with 100 years of hard labor. They won't receive any harsh treatment. Now, that woman is mining a mineral vein, and she receives a monthly salary."
Haitang was instantly relieved. Although the Fangcun Mountain would capture trespassers, they indeed wouldn't treat outsiders harshly. As a top-grade realm, there were naturally various precious mineral veins inside the Fangcun Mountain. They all needed to be carefully mined. Those with low cultivation wouldn't be able to do this, so it was best for the Constellation Tier to do it.
But which Constellation Tier cultivator in this realm didn't need to cultivate? Who would have too much time to do such chores? It was just right for the trespasser to serve.
However, the Fangcun Mountain would never do anything too overboard. Although mining mineral veins was tiring, they would receive a corresponding monthly salary. It was equivalent to a forced employment relationship.
After 100 years, the trespasser would regain their freedom.
It was also because of this reason that even though there were Sunshine Tier cultivators guarding the Fangcun Mountain at all times, they would never warn trespassers in advance. The Sunshine Tier cultivators guarding the Fangcun Mountain couldn't wait for people to enter and serve. It wouldn't be good to scare them away in advance.
"That's great." Haitang was overjoyed. She was afraid that something would happen that she couldn't explain to Lu Ye. Now that she knew that Junior Brother Lu's senior sister was safe and sound, she was instantly relieved. She pleaded, "Master, can you get her out? Junior Brother Lu has done me a favor. Since she's his senior sister, she should be considered as my guest. I naturally have to treat her with respect, but I can't ask her to serve hard labor."
That was the logic. If Su Yuqing hadn't known Lu Ye's true identity, she wouldn't have minded fulfilling her disciple's request. It was nothing more than getting someone out. As one of the three Sunshine Tier cultivators in this realm, she had the right to do so.
However, after knowing Lu Ye's true identity, Su Yuqing couldn't help but have other thoughts.
It wasn't that she wanted to kill him for the bounty offered by the Blood Race and the Insect Race. These two races were notorious in the universe and had been eyeing Fangcun Mountain for tens of thousands of years. The relationship between the two races had always been bad. It was already good enough that they didn't cause trouble for these two races. Why would she do anything that pleased them?
Moreover, as a Sunshine Tier cultivator in a top-tier realm, Su Yuqing didn't lack those bounties. She was thinking about something else.
She scrutinized her disciple in front of her carefully. En, she's beautiful and has an exquisite figure. No matter where she goes, she'll be a rare beauty. Her aptitude is also not bad. In the future, she won't stop at the Constellation Tier. Yue Yao is at the very least. As for whether she can become a Sunshine Tier cultivator, that will depend on her luck.
It seems feasible?
Her master didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Haitang from head to toe. Haitang was puzzled. Is there something on my face?
After a while, Su Yuqing said, "There's no problem with that girl. I'll inform Chen Xuanhai later and ask him to release her."
Haitang was overjoyed. "Thank you, Master!" Su Yuqing beckoned her over. "Come here!"
Haitang hurried over and stood in front of Su Yuqing. Su Yuqing held her hand and asked softly, "What do you think of Lu Yiye?"
Haitang didn't know why her master asked this, but she answered honestly, "He's very good."
Su Yuqing continued, "You've been with him for the past few months. Has he ever done anything rude to you?"
"Never!" Haitang shook her head. "Junior Brother Lu is an upright person. He doesn't even look at me with an evil gaze. How could he have done anything rude?"
"Then … do you think he's someone you can entrust your future to?"
Haitang was stunned for a moment. After thinking seriously, she said, "If I really have to choose someone I can entrust my future to, then Junior Brother Lu is indeed a very good candidate. However, Master, there's nothing between Junior Brother Lu and I. I've been recuperating these past few months, and Junior Brother Lu has taken good care of me." She glanced at Su Yuqing cautiously. "Why did Master suddenly ask about this?"
Su Yuqing said, "The path of cultivation is long and full of obstacles. People have to have some concerns so that their hearts won't feel empty and they can go further. Therefore, even if their cultivation is successful, many people will choose a Dao companion so that they can support each other on the path of cultivation. You've been promoted to a constellation for many years. It's time to choose a Dao companion."
Although she was aware of it, when Su Yuqing said this, Haitang was still a little surprised. "Could it be that Master wants me to become Dao companions with Junior Brother Lu?"
"What do you think?"
"No way, no way!" Haitang hurriedly waved her hand. "Junior Brother Lu has no such intentions towards me. If Master brings it up rashly, it will make things difficult for him."
Su Yuqing understood the meaning behind her words and smiled slightly. "In other words, there's no problem on your side."
Haitang blushed slightly. "I don't have that kind of feelings towards Junior Brother Lu. It's just that my life was saved by him. If he really has such thoughts, this disciple … will not refuse."
She felt a little strange. It was not that no one in the Lesser Human Clan had become Dao companions, but it was usually a matter between the clan members. It was very rare for them to become Dao companions with outsiders. She didn't know why Master suddenly had such an idea.
