Xiuxian, I can travel to another world

Chapter 145 Fool
The gathering of disciples from the three sects is held every few years, lasting from seven days to half a month.

The location is the three chakras.

This time it is ten days.

Zhu Ju was not very interested in socializing, but as the host, he was forced to entertain the guests well.

"Brother Zhu."

The next day.

Qu Hongxiao came to visit:
"Thank you for helping me arrange accommodation and drawing pictures for me. I made some snacks for you."

"Junior sister, you don't have to be so polite." Being interrupted in his practice, Zhu Ju could only pretend to be calm and greeted:
"Come in and sit down."

"Okay." Qu Hongxiao seemed to have no idea what politeness meant. After hearing this, she handed over some snacks and stepped into the courtyard.

"Senior Brother's yard is such a mess!"

"..." Zhu Ju replied with a dry laugh:
"I live alone, and it's really lacking in care."

"Oh!" Qu Hongxiao nodded:

"I live alone too, but I spend some time cleaning the yard every day. Senior brother is a bit lazy."

Do you always speak so directly?
For a while.

Zhu Ju didn't know how to respond.

If someone else said this, he might think it was deliberate sarcasm, but the person in front of him was different.

Soul perception can clearly perceive other people's emotions.

There was no sarcasm or ridicule, just something that was said as a matter of course.

"Senior Brother..." Qu Hongxiao lowered her head, her fingers entwined with the hem of her clothes, her voice a little shy:

"I can help you with the yard."

Ok?
Zhu Ju's expression was stiff.

Hastily!
The person in front of me is not just ordinary in speaking directly, he is very straightforward and speaks directly.

"Junior sister is joking."

Zhu Judao:
"I prefer more natural scenery, and I've been practicing hard, so I don't take care of it much."

“This snack…”

“Very unique!”

He opened the snacks that the other party had given him, which were similar to the red bean paste cakes he remembered from his previous life, except that they were of different sizes and very irregular.

It won't whet your appetite much anyway.

"I...I didn't do well."

Qu Hongxiao's cheeks turned red:
"My senior sister said that when you meet the right person, you should be brave enough to express yourself. I learned how to make dim sum specifically."

"There's no need to do this." Zhu Ju rubbed his temples, feeling that it was a bit difficult to talk to the other party:
"We are cultivators. We should prioritize improving our cultivation and set worldly affairs aside."

"Master said the same thing." Qu Hongxiao's eyes lit up and she nodded.

"My senior brother's flying sword control yesterday gave me a very familiar feeling. Perhaps he's practicing the Five Elements Sword Finger?"

"Yes." Zhu Juzan said:
"Junior sister, you have good eyesight!"

He evolved the Five Elements Sword Technique from the Five Elements Sword Fingers, and also mixed in the soul-controlling sword method from another world.

He was still seen through by others. His eyesight is truly extraordinary.

"I am a disciple of the Heavenly Sword lineage and am quite familiar with sword techniques." Qu Hongxiao said eagerly:
"Brother, shall we have a competition?"

"I'm practicing the Myriad Illusions Sword Technique, which I can advance to the Myriad Illusions Sword Technique in the future. It's a very powerful sword-controlling technique."

"Okay." Zhu Ju nodded.

"Come!"

Qu Hongxiao drew her sword and leaped into the courtyard. The blade of her sword swirled like water waves, leaving a trail of afterimages.

Obviously.

The long sword in her hand was of extraordinary quality.

"The Heavenly Sword Qu Hongxiao, breaking the three orifices of the innate, please teach me!"

"The dragon's head is red, and the two orifices are broken."

Zhu Ju holds a knife in his hand:

"Please advise."

"Shh!"

Qu Hongxiao's body flashed, and her long sword pointed at Zhu Ju.

"Ding……"

Swords clashed.

Zhu Ju did not cut in the direction of the long sword, but cut in the air, just blocking the sword.

"what?"

Qu Hongxiao blinked:
"Brother, my sword technique is called Wanhuan because it is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion. How could you actually see through it?"

"awesome!"

She praised it with her mouth, but her hands did not hesitate. The sword technique changed, and hundreds of sword shadows fell down.

The sword shadows are like thousands of petals, beautiful yet murderous.

"Ding!"

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding..."

The sound of collision was as loud as a rainstorm.

Zhu Ju practiced both magic and technique, and his mind was very strong. The fake and real methods in the Wanhuan Sword Technique could not deceive his perception.

The sword force was unleashed, easily breaking through thousands of sword shadows and approaching.

"drink!"

Qu Hongxiao raised her sword-like eyebrows and let out a sharp roar. The sword's momentum changed again, surging like clouds and fog.

Wanhuan Sword Art is not the original name of this sword technique. Its original name is Wanhuan Sword Forbidden.

ban!
Forbidden law!

As the sword swung, the vital energy of heaven and earth suddenly gathered, and the murderous intent turned into clouds and mist, rushing towards Zhu Ju.

And Zhu Ju,
He found that he was unable to mobilize the slightest power of heaven and earth, as if he was restrained by an invisible restriction.

"it is good!"

His eyes lit up and Zhu Ju swung his sword fiercely.

The powerful power of his soul and the ghost limit blessed by the magic sword allowed him to move forward and split the sword with his might.

"boom!"

The energy is surging.

…………

For several days in a row, Qu Hongxiao came to visit Zhu Ju on time and on schedule. The two of them did not hesitate and started to compete with swords after a few words.

Qu Hongxiao's swordsmanship is extremely superb, and her Wanhuan Sword Technique also has a killing move.

If Zhu Ju did not use the Five-pointed Flying Sword and only relied on the Ghostly Sword Technique, he would not be sure of victory.

What's more.

He could only reveal his cultivation level of breaking two orifices, which put him at a greater disadvantage.

This day.

Ning Ruxue and Xiao Bufan came to visit together.

"Senior brother."

Ning Ruxue said:

"I want to borrow some spirit stones from Junior Brother Xiao, please notarize it."

"It's just a testimony. Even if I can't pay it back in the future, it has nothing to do with you, Senior Brother."

"That's fine." Zhu Ju had no objection:
"But this needs to be added: I am only a witness, not a guarantor of compensation."

"Don't worry." Ning Ruxue rolled her eyes:
"I'll pay it back then."

"Of course." Zhu Ju said:

"Junior sister, when you become rich, don't forget your brother."

"Heh..." Ning Ruxue laughed dryly:

"Senior brother, you are not willing to sponsor even a single spirit stone." "I really don't have any." Zhu Ju sighed. Almost all of his family property was used to exchange for the monster's inner elixir.

Even the materials needed to refine the external elixir had to be pieced together.

"By the way." He asked:
"Junior Brother Xiao, how many spirit stones can I lend to Junior Sister Ning?"

"Five hundred." Xiao Bufan said:
"All my property."

"Five hundred spirit stones!" Zhu Ju was shocked.
"Where did you get so many spirit stones?"

Xiao Bufan was still an outer disciple last year and could not save much in a year, but he actually took out 500 spirit stones in one go.

This wealth accumulation ability...

So scary!
"I had some accumulation originally, and I gained some benefits from the battle to wipe out the Five Poison Sect, so I have so much." Xiao Bufan said calmly:

"A piece of cake."

"Junior brother is really..." Zhu Ju said:
"Real people don't show their faces!"

Under his witness, the two signed a loan agreement, stipulating the interest and repayment time.

After signing the agreement, Ning Ruxue's beautiful eyes turned and she asked curiously:
"Brother, I heard that Senior Sister Qu Hongxiao from the Tianjian lineage has been coming to see you every day these past few days."

"Yes." Zhu Ju nodded:
"Junior Sister Qu's swordsmanship is quite good. Exchanging martial arts can help us gain a lot of experience. Besides, Senior Sister Pei said that we should do our best to be the hosts."

"Brother is truly selfless." Ning Ruxue smiled strangely and clasped her hands together.

"I admire you!"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Ju frowned.
"Don't you also have a lot of exchanges with the disciples of the other two sects?"

"No!" Ning Ruxue shook her head:

"We are not like you."

"What's the difference?" Zhu Ju was puzzled. They were both entertaining guests, so what was the difference?
"Senior Brother." Ning Ruxue looked surprised:
"Although you don't talk much, I know that this is your inner wisdom. Junior Sister has always admired you. Could she not have noticed it this time?"

"What did you see?" Zhu Ju asked:

"Just say it."

"That..." Xiao Bufan whispered beside him:

"Brother, from what I know, Senior Sister Qu is a little abnormal, and her brain... is quite stupid."

"She is just a fool." Ning Ruxue chuckled.

"Brother, you really don't know?"

Fool?

Zhu Ju turned around and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

I don’t know when.

Qu Hongxiao appeared there, her eyes were red, her body was trembling slightly, and she stood at the door without going in.

"Junior Sister Qu."

"...Senior Brother." Qu Hongxiao opened her mouth and forced a smile.

"I...I came to say goodbye."

"It's almost time. I... I plan to follow my senior sister back to Tianjian Peak, so I came to tell you."

Zhu Ju was silent.

"Senior brother."

Qu Hongxiao bit her lip:

"I'm very happy these days."

"goodbye!"

Then he turned around and walked away quickly.

"This..." Xiao Bufan looked embarrassed:

"When did Senior Sister Qu come?"

"How should I know?" Ning Ruxue looked embarrassed and annoyed, glaring at Zhu Ju:
"Brother, are you planning to laugh at us?"

"..." Zhu Ju sighed softly:
"I just sensed her coming, and I really didn't know she was..."

"never mind!"

No wonder I felt weird when interacting with Qu Hongxiao these days. It turns out that her personality is not straightforward, but she simply doesn’t know how a normal person should speak.

Fool?

Pity.

Tianjian Peak.

The highest peak of the three lineages of Mingxu Sect.

From a distance, Tianjian Peak looks like a sharp sword piercing straight into the void and into the thick clouds.

Qu Hongxiao squatted on the edge of the cliff, leaning against a big tree full of red leaves, letting the leaves fall on her body.

She held a branch in her hand and drew back and forth on the soil at her feet, drawing childish portraits.

Or holding a sword,
Or take a knife.

"Girl."

A hunchbacked old man appeared nearby, leaning on a cane, and asked with a smile:

"Why are you back so early?"

"It's time." Qu Hongxiao stopped what she was doing and blinked:

"I want to come back and see you, Master."

"Haha..." The old man laughed loudly, his face flushed.
"My girl has grown up and has learned to lie. You never thought about the old man when you went out."

"Tell me."

"What happened to you?"

"Nothing." Qu Hongxiao twisted her body.
"I do not want to say."

"Hmm..." The old man's smile faded and his expression became serious:

"Will you meet your sweetheart?"

"I don't know." Qu Hongxiao looked bewildered.
"Anyway, I'm quite happy to be with Senior Brother Zhu. He doesn't look at me the same way as others."

"No pity, no disgust..."

"He doesn't even know I'm a fool."

"You are not stupid, you just haven't grown up yet." The old man sat down beside her and frowned.
"But Brother Zhu, whom you mentioned, actually failed to notice that something was wrong with you. Are you a fool?"

"He's not." Qu Hongxiao retorted subconsciously:
"Brother Zhu is very smart."

"correct."

She took out a piece of paper and handed it over:

"This is what Senior Brother Zhu is looking for. Master, could you please help him get it together?"

"Materials for refining?" The old man unfolded it and took a look:
"Forget about the rest, but this Lingyu Bell Embryo is a good thing. Are you being cheated?"

"Girl."

"These things can use up all the dowry I left for you. You should think carefully about it."

"Master."

Qu Hongxiao's eyes were dull:
"Can I really get married?"

"Would anyone really marry a fool?"

The old man was silent.

Qu Hongxiao was born with a sword bone and was a rare sword genius among millions. She should have become the core disciple of Tianjian.

how...

The innate soul is defective.

A child of the Tianjian lineage who could recognize a few words a day was considered stupid, and one who could recognize more than a hundred words a day was just average.

And Qu Hongxiao...

To this day, I still don’t recognize many words.

She couldn't tell the direction, couldn't remember what others told her, and didn't feel sad even when she was bullied...

"Girl."

The old man sighed:
"You're not stupid, you just lack something compared to others."
