Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

The day is fine.

Zhao Xu pushed open the door of his cozy nest.

Shang Xiuxun and Lu Miaozi have been waiting outside the door whenever they have time these days.

In order not to affect Zhao Xu's recovery, Lu Miaozi moved to the castle.

Seeing Zhao Xu's rosy complexion today, the two of them felt relieved.

Shang Xiuxun stepped forward and asked with concern:

"How's the injury?"

Zhao Xu smiled and spoke slowly:

"He has basically recovered. He just needs to rest for a while."

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, the father and daughter finally felt relieved.

This battle against Zhu Yuyan can be said to be the most dangerous, but also the most exciting battle since Zhao Xu entered the martial arts world.

The two men each had their own advantages and were evenly matched. They tried every possible means, but in the end both were defeated.

Zhao Xu has mastered various magical skills and has cultivated his physical body to a very good level.

His profound foundation gave him amazing recovery ability, and he fully recovered in just seven days.

On the other side, Zhu Yuyan couldn't be that fast. It would take her at least ten times longer than Zhao Xu.

Of course, although the two had used every possible means in this battle, it had not yet reached the point of a life-and-death battle, and both of them had some strength left.

Zhu Yuyan had her own unfinished mission, and Zhao Xu had his own ambitions, so it was naturally impossible for the two of them to fight to the death here.

This battle made Zhao Xu fully realize his current peak combat power.

He put all his killing power into it and had already reached the threshold of the supreme grandmaster.

At the same time, he also felt the benefits of his persistence in practicing horizontal external skills.

Without such a strong defense, this battle would probably end with Zhao Xu's defeat.

After all, Zhu Yuyan's cultivation is much stronger and her artistic conception is not bad either.

Zhao Xu recovered and returned to the castle to rest.

Lu Miaozi began to devote his energy to the project of rebuilding the back mountain and seldom came to disturb them.

Of course, it could also be that he didn't want to disturb the two young people from being alone together.

Zhao Xu was recuperating in Feiniao Garden, and Shang Xiuxun spent a certain amount of time in the kitchen every day.

All kinds of delicious food and rare supplements seem to be free and in endless supply.

Once again, Zhao Xu witnessed the heritage and arrogance of a century-old force.

During this period, Zhao Xu was not idle either.

He made full use of his skills as a master of medicine, combined with his understanding of martial arts, to treat Lu Miaozi's old injuries while trying to prolong his life.

Lu Miaozi had already made some achievements in medicine, and with the addition of Zhao Xu, it would not be difficult to heal his old injuries, but the difficulty lay in his body.

Over the past twenty years, this body has been completely drained of its vitality, and it is extremely difficult to fully recover.

However, this world is full of miracles, and what Zhao Xu has to do now is to extend his life as much as possible.

Zhao Xu spent a rare peaceful time at Pegasus Ranch.

During this period, his name was once again pushed to the forefront of the Sui Dynasty.

Queen Yin Zhu Yuyan is not comparable to Yu Wenzhi. When the Evil King does not appear, she is the top master of the Demon Sect.

Being able to fight such a character to a draw, Zhao Xu's fighting power once again refreshed people's cognition.

Although he lived a relatively leisurely life, Zhao Xu did not cut off contact with other people.

Time flies.

After a month of rest at Pegasus Ranch.

Zhao Xu started his journey again.

The heart of Shuzhong.

A small cottage in the secluded forest, where Shi Qingxuan lives in seclusion.

Although this place is far away from Pegasus Ranch, it doesn't take much time for Zhao Xu now.

We walked through a forest and headed towards a quiet valley.

Before I got close enough, a thrilling flute sound came from the valley.

Like a wisp of smoke, it floats through the years and comes to your ears.

The clear and melodious tone seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, break through the darkness and reveal dreams.

The melody is plaintive, sometimes melodious, sometimes sad, passing through the fingertips.

The emotions contained therein are like a storm, reminding people of the beauty that is surrounded and entangled by fate in the long river of their lives.

Zhao Xu stood quietly at the entrance of the valley, letting the sound of the flute cleanse his soul, silently enjoying this ethereal moment.

After a long time, the flute sound finally stopped.

Zhao Xu slowly walked into the valley.

By the stream in the valley, a beautiful figure is sitting quietly on the bluestone.

Shi Qingxuan, dressed in a blue shirt, without any accessories, no veil to cover her face, and no fake nose as she remembered.

Zhao Xu didn't know what words to use to describe her at this moment.

She is like a spirit of nature, so pure and elegant, apart from the world, with a simplicity and purity that can be admired from afar but not touched.

Zhao Xu approached slowly without hiding anything, and the sound of his footsteps startled Shi Qingxuan who was deep in thought.

"Who are you?"

The clear and melodious voice of the orchid in the valley lets people know that she has lived in this sparsely populated place for many years.

Zhao Xu did not hide anything and said with a smile:

"I am Zhao Xu, a wanderer from the martial arts world. I heard that the evil king left the secret book of the Immortal Seal here, so I came here specially to take a look. I hope the young lady will agree!"

Shi Qingxuan was a little surprised to hear why Zhao Xu came.

Only a few people know that the Immortal Seal is hidden in the Youlin Cottage.

How could a complete stranger like Zhao Xu know this secret?

Shi Qingxuan looked Zhao Xu up and down with her bright eyes.

This man is handsome and elegant, with a good appearance.

He is about the same age as me, but he has the courage to come here alone to find the secret book of the Immortal Seal.

Shi Qingxuan had lived in seclusion in a small cottage in the secluded forest for many years and was unaware of Zhao Xu's reputation in the Sui Dynasty.

Her reclusive life made her look cold and aloof, but her true character was quite the opposite.

"Give me a reason to let you watch the cheats!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Xu saw a completely different Shi Qingxuan.

Is this somewhat honest and playful woman still her?

Zhao Xu was distracted for a moment, but soon came to his senses.

He said sincerely and firmly:

"Miss, please allow me to watch. If you need my help in the future, I will come to you even if it takes a long time."

Zhao Xu's attitude was sincere and his tone was firm, which made Shi Qingxuan stunned.

"Giggle!"

Shi Qingxuan smiled, as the daughter of Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin.

In order to avoid the grudges in the world, she has been living in seclusion for these years, leading a dull life. Today, she unexpectedly met such an interesting person.

After laughing, she slowly said:

"Remember your promise!"

Shi Qingxuan herself was not very interested in martial arts secrets. She just wanted to ensure that the Immortal Seal would not fall into the hands of evil people.

Zhao Xu's performance obviously won her recognition.

Soon, Shi Qingxuan took him to the stone house not far away.

In front of the stone house, Zhao Xu was about to enter, but suddenly he frowned and looked outside the valley.

Zhao Xu's actions quickly attracted Shi Qingxuan's attention.

"what happened?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said slowly:

"It seems that I am not the only one here to bother you today!"

After hearing what Zhao Xu said, Shi Qingxuan already knew that other people were coming.

"Girl, take care of me. I'll be back soon!"
