The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple

But now, he only had a few dozen low-grade Spirit Stones left on him. Forget about paying back the money; the problem was if he could even continue his cultivation.

He couldn't possibly shamelessly ask his master or senior sister for more, could he? What would that look like? Even Yan knew how to support himself.

"If only someone would bring money to my door!"

Zhou Qing laughed at himself, then took out the "Flame Sun Dominating Body Skills" and the third style of the "Thunder Sword Skills" that his master had given him before. After glancing at them, he began to practice Body Refining...

Meanwhile, at the Taiqing Sect's barrier!

Elder Wuzhu sat on a stone, munching on melon seeds and sipping wine, watching the scene below with great interest.

White Crane had a pleading look on his face, while Luo Lingling's face was full of coldness.

"Are you leaving or not?"

"I can't bear to part with you!"

"I told you, it's impossible between us. If you keep spouting nonsense to others, don't blame me for being unkind."

"Ling'Er, from the moment I first saw you, I knew I would marry no one but you. If it weren't for you that time, I might have been trapped till death in those ruins."

"So, people should learn not to meddle. I regret saving you now."

......

Listening to their conversation, Elder Wuzhu couldn't help but laugh.

From his experience, even if this Luo girl didn't like this boy who resembled a caterpillar, she wouldn't be too repelled. There must have been something else between them.

Otherwise, given her temperament, she would have kicked him off the mountain long ago. How could she have let him follow her all the way here, wasting words?

But then again, how did this guy get in? And stayed on Little Spirit Peak for more than a month? Did he sneak in while I was relieving myself?

This is a serious negligence. Fortunately, the Sect Leader and others aren't here; I must check the barrier more thoroughly.

"Fourth Brother?"

Just after Elder Wuzhu left, a few figures descended from the sky. One of them, upon landing, immediately spotted White Crane and called out.

White Crane turned his head instinctively at the sound, frowning slightly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

And Xuanyuan Yichen, upon seeing White Crane, showed an extremely excited expression on his face. He rushed forward with a look of joy and shouted loudly, "Fourth Brother, is it really you!"

White Crane quietly watched the person in front of him who was full of excitement. Gradually, the face in front of him overlapped with a familiar figure in his memory. He exclaimed in surprise, "Seventh Brother? You've grown so much!"

Xuanyuan Yichen was so excited that he couldn't contain himself, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Fourth Brother, where have you been all these years? Why is there no news? Father misses you very much!"

White Crane just shook his head lightly, without much explanation, and instead shifted his gaze to a girl standing beside him.

The girl had long, black hair interspersed with a few strands of silver, gently fluttering in the breeze, giving her a unique look.

"Xiaojiu?"

Xuanyuan Muqian immediately nodded and saluted, "Fourth Brother!"

White Crane smiled, "You've grown into a beautiful young lady."

Xuanyuan Muqian smiled politely. She didn't remember much about this Fourth Brother, having only seen him once when she was very young.

"Why are you here?" White Crane asked.

Xuanyuan Yichen replied, "It's because of the Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown. Many people from the royal court have come here. There are currently thirteen suspected breakthrough points discovered throughout the Lingyun Mansion. Muqian and I came here along the way to see an old friend."

White Crane nodded, showing his understanding.

"My senior brother is not here!" Luo Lingling recognized the Seventh Prince and had heard some things about them.

Xuanyuan Yichen then noticed Luo Lingling, and understanding her words, he immediately realized her identity.

"So it's Miss Luo, you misunderstood. This time, I'm here to find Zhou Qing—Brother Zhou," Xuanyuan Yichen quickly explained.

Luo Lingling shook her head, "He doesn't have time. If the Seventh Prince has nothing else, please leave early."

After saying this, Luo Lingling unceremoniously gave a dismissal order and stepped into the barrier.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Xuanyuan Muqian were both taken aback.

"Fourth Brother, did you offend her?" Xuanyuan Yichen quickly asked.

White Crane replied, "I didn't. You touched her sore spot."

"Sore spot?" Xuanyuan Yichen was puzzled.

White Crane had to explain, "The Zhou Qing you're looking for is her junior brother, but he was crippled..."

Xuanyuan Yichen and Muqian, knowing the truth, were both incredulous.

The well-learned Zhou Qing had his Golden Core crushed and became a wastrel. This, this...

"Sigh~~" The two of them sighed heavily, feeling the vicissitudes of life.

They also somewhat understood Luo Lingling's earlier attitude. He had brought something to show Zhou Qing, but now, how would the latter be in the mood.

"Who did this? I'll kill him!" Xuanyuan Yichen said fiercely.

White Crane replied, "I heard from my third brother-in-law that the culprit has already been pulverized."

"Third brother-in-law?" Xuanyuan Yichen was once again stunned.

White Crane felt embarrassed and was about to speak when he looked up at the sky.

The two Guardians behind Xuanyuan Yichen reacted swiftly, instantly standing in front of the two to protect them.

At this moment, a luxuriously decorated silver ship slowly descended from the sky.
