"Ah this..."
Uncle Zeng sighed deeply, never expecting that he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
"Ahem, I suddenly remembered that my disciple found a precious material yesterday, which would be a perfect match for Junior Nephew Su!"
"Indeed! Indeed! It seems that my Sunset Peak has also recently received a rare treasure."
Daoist Tianyun was on the verge of tears. His Luoxia Peak was already the lowest-ranked among the eight peaks, but he hadn't expected to suffer such a huge loss just for coming to watch the spectacle.
Li Qing'an was overjoyed and quickly said, "Then I will thank my two senior brothers on behalf of this unworthy disciple!"
"Not at all! Not at all, it's my duty!"
The two could only manage a wry smile.
.......
The summit of Tianzhen Peak.
Li Qingan looked at the decent materials in front of him, and gave some of the ones he didn't need to Su Yue to play with.
Even the Nebula Stone was given to her.
Magical artifacts crafted from this material are perfectly suited for those who have just begun their cultivation journey.
Su Yue, standing to the side, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed as she looked at the pile of treasures in front of her.
However, after thinking about it for a while, she realized that they had visited six peaks, and there was still one peak they hadn't reached.
"Master, why don't we go to Little Bamboo Peak!"
Su Yue asked out of curiosity, thinking it was something to ask.
I had heard before that my master used to have a good relationship with Xiaozhu Peak, but I don't know why he hasn't been to Xiaozhu Peak for a long time.
Everyone guessed that Li Qing'an had abducted Shuiyue's prized disciple, which was why they dared not go up the mountain.
But with Su Yue's clever little brain, she naturally realized that there was more to it than that.
There's definitely something else going on.
"No, I'm not going. If I go to your Martial Aunt Shuiyue to get something, do you believe she can make sure your Sister Xueqi doesn't see me for months?"
Su Yue nodded.
She had also heard of the reputation of the head of Xiaozhu Peak as being cold and aloof, and difficult to get along with.
She also hoped that Lu Xueqi could come to Tianzhen Peak to live together someday, so as not to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of small gains.
.......
Meanwhile, at Xiaozhu Peak.
"Do you think our master and junior brother Li have a falling out?"
A disciple from Xiaozhu Peak looked around and whispered.
These words immediately ignited the gossip-loving hearts of the surrounding Xiaozhu Peak disciples.
They weren't curious about who this "Junior Brother Li" she was talking about was.
Perhaps it's because they never changed their minds when they first assumed Li Qing'an would marry their junior sister Lu Xueqi.
They all called him Junior Brother Li, but only in private. They certainly wouldn't dare say it like that in front of others.
Otherwise, Shuiyue would have to intensify her training.
Several disciples from Xiaozhu Peak squatted down, keeping a close eye on their surroundings, and asked questions.
"Junior sister, why do you say that?"
"I came down the mountain today and heard that yesterday, Junior Brother Li took his disciples to pay their respects to each of them, and they received quite a few gifts!"
"Then what!"
"Hey, senior sister, you're so stupid, and you won't admit it! Did you see them come to our Little Bamboo Peak yesterday or today?"
The well-informed disciple, somewhat helplessly, said directly, "I think it's most likely that our master had a conflict with Junior Brother Li because of Junior Sister's matter."
Everyone suddenly realized what she meant and said, "Junior Sister, what you said seems to make sense!"
"But I don't know why Master disagrees! Logically speaking, Qingyun Sect doesn't have a more suitable disciple than Junior Brother Li."
Even across the entire Divine Continent, you can't find one like them. Besides, Junior Sister and Junior Brother Li are childhood sweethearts, deeply in love; there's no reason Master would stop them.
"It's only because Li Qing'an doesn't like me that I would have disobeyed my master no matter what."
"Hey, who said it wasn't!"
"..."
The women whispered amongst themselves.
........
Meanwhile, at Tianzhen Peak.
"Did I hear that right, Senior Sister Wenmin? These treasures were sent to me by Senior Sister Shuiyue?"
Li Qingan looked at the several treasures on the stone table below.
Perhaps because Li Qing'an was a master craftsman, Shuiyue also gave him several crafting materials.
"Uncle-Master Li, are you prejudiced against my master?"
Wenmin raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes, sensing that something was amiss.
Given Li Qingan's personality, even if Lu Xueqi was partly to blame, the relationship between the two shouldn't have become so strained.
How strange!
Chapter 181 The Treasure-Delivering Boy!
"Junior brother, you don't have any complaints about my master, do you?"
Wen Min's eyes narrowed, her gaze sweeping up and down, as if trying to find something wrong with Li Qing'an.
"No way! How could I dare!"
Li Qingan rejected the idea.
He didn't dare go up the mountain because he had taken advantage of his former senior sister, Shuiyue;
Now it is because of his relationship with Tian Ling'er that it is widely known within the sect.
He felt that if he dared to go up Xiaozhu Peak, he might actually have to learn from Senior Sister Shuiyue's amazing skills.
For the past eight years, he has been avoiding Shuiyue, fearing that he might be caught.
Whether she can win or not is one thing, but if she fights back, who should Lu Xueqi help?
Just as Li Qing'an was making excuses and thinking,
Wenmin, who was standing nearby, was delighted to hear Li Qingan still calling her "senior sister" and didn't mind saying a few more words.
"Uncle Li, what's meant to be will be. Are you really going to drag this out with Xueqi like this?"
"Moreover, from what I've observed, it seems that after several discussions with Junior Sister Xueqi over the past year or two, Master no longer opposes your relationship and instead lets Junior Sister Xueqi make the decisions!"
Therefore, it's time to propose marriage. If we delay any longer, my master might really come to kill us.
Wen Min glanced at Li Qing'an with a strange look in her eyes.
Without waiting for him to ask any more questions, she left after saying a few words.
"By the way, these materials are a gift from Master to Junior Sister Su, not for you!"
Li Qingan stood up and scratched his head behind his back. He hadn't planned to drag it out in the first place; it was Xueqi who wanted to.
Li Qingan felt a bit of a headache, but he was also thinking about how to propose marriage.
Lu Xueqi is number one; there's no doubt about it.
As for Biyao and Youji, who have consummated their marriage, it is impossible for them to be together openly at this stage.
Moreover, after eight years, Lu Xueqi's status in his heart has not decreased but increased, and she still holds an absolute advantage.
Its position is unshakeable.
It was during this time that Li Qingan was contemplating what it meant to be a scumbag.
Xiaozhu Peak, Wangyue Terrace.
Shuiyue's calm, still eyes were quietly gazing in the direction of Tianzhen Peak.
However, even after eight years of cultivation and a significant increase in strength, Shuiyue still couldn't see through the thin mist shrouding Tianzhen Peak.
"You brought your disciples to pay homage to the mountain, but my Little Bamboo Peak was the only one missing. Li Qing'an, you are doing very well!"
Shuiyue murmured to herself.
For some reason, I thought of the last night Li Qing'an went up Xiaozhu Peak.
Looking back on that night, neither of them could say who was right or wrong.
According to her original idea, what's past is past and shouldn't be taken to heart.
But who would have thought that Li Qing'an hadn't been to Xiaozhu Peak for nine years, and hadn't even spoken a single word to her.
This, in turn, made her remember the events of that night even more vividly.
It's completely upside down; she's the one who suffered the loss, yet it seems like it's her fault.
Furthermore, there's the relationship between Li Qing'an and Tian Ling'er of Dazhu Peak...
Shuiyue pondered, thinking of a solution.
Above Tianzhen Peak, a streak of light flew towards Xiaozhu Peak.
"Master!"
"how?"
"I've already told him the news, so I think Uncle Li will be coming to Xiaozhu Peak soon. But Master, it seems difficult to explain to Uncle Su at Dazhu Peak if we do this!"
Wenmin was somewhat troubled; had they essentially run away without permission?
