Beauty helps me achieve immortality

Chapter 162 Confusing Behavior

As the saying goes, the period around Grain in Ear is the Water Festival, and if there is no rain it will be a drought.

At noon, Lanxian Town was shrouded in mist and rain. The pond downstream of Qingqu was overflowing, and the rippling water waves engulfed the uninhabited old houses on the shore.

"Today is Grain in Ear, a time for prayers, fasting and offering sacrifices, opening warehouses, and breaking ground."

"Avoid burials and bridge construction..."

In the brand new mansion, Blind Qiu leaned against the eaves and murmured softly.

His pale eyes trembled, and he asked in confusion, "Why didn't the scholar go to the county to teach today?"

Huang Xuejiu sighed slightly and whispered, "I only had some free time last night, and I was busy burying Old Wang."

"Tie Xin came back, and according to him..."

"No need to say more, let me calculate!" Blind Qiu said as he pinched his fingers and began to count the palaces on his palm.

"..."

"Don't forget it... Tie Xin said that Zhao Qing's family are all immortal masters!"

Upon hearing this, Blind Qiu suddenly jumped up: "What!?"

·

In the north of the town, an isolated courtyard stood quietly in the rain.

The sky is a bit gloomy.

The lush leaves were blown down by the sudden rain and flowed into the clear canal with the waves in front of the door.

The water tank under the eaves was overflowing, and the stove was ravaged by the huge raindrops, making a tinkling sound.

"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye...it's so fast."

"Wang Deren was buried in the terraced fields outside the town, which is not bad."

Wang Shuyue stood in front of the window, looking at the wind and rain in the yard outside.

Beside her, the beautiful woman slowly opened her phoenix eyes and replied, "Old Wang has lived for seventy years, which is considered a long life in the mortal world."

"He can recognize the difference between elixir herbs... If he is willing to take them, he might be able to live a little longer."

Shuyue smiled and said, "What's so good about living that long?"

She seemed to have thought of something and sighed, "But your medicinal food is very useful. Huang Tiexin took the two children away last night, saying that he was going to send them to the county martial arts school."

Gu Qinghuan said softly, "Perhaps they are born with a talent for cultivation?"

Wang Shuyue turned around slowly, looked at Qinghuan's gentle gaze, and an unnatural smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

I have been with my husband for five years and I am already twenty-three years old this year...

Qinghuan is four years older than him, so Gu Qingci is forty years old.

Among ordinary people... a forty-year-old woman without a husband...

Qinghuan has helped many people in the past two years, even the beggars in Lin'an County have tasted Yi Qingzhai's osmanthus cake.

Bu Niang's health care, the children's strength in the school, Qin Lian's husband's tuberculosis...

But she seemed to have completely forgotten that her biological mother, who was far away in Tianshui, was already in her forties and a mortal.

At this moment, Gu Qinghuan stopped practicing. She stood up and walked to Shuyue, extending her cold and delicate hand: "Sister, what's wrong? Are you worried about the master?"

Wang Shuyue turned her head stiffly.

"Do you miss her?"

Qing Huan smiled and said, "I do, but I'm not too worried about the master's situation. I have Xiao Yi by my side..."

"I mean...your sister."

The woman in front of him frowned slightly, and her red lips parted slightly but no sound came out.

Shuyue took her cold slender hand, opened the door and sat quietly under the eaves.

The rain suddenly slanted down before their eyes, drifting past the two of them.

The wind whistles in my ears...

"I have no ties and am content to be with my husband."

"Xiaoyi was born in the Duke's Mansion, and both her parents are cultivators."

"But you..."

Gu Qinghuan's phoenix eyes trembled slightly, and she said softly: "When I return to Tianshui next time, I will just take a look from afar."

"Didn't my sister just say that? What's the point of living that long?"

She said bitterly, "Not everyone wants to live forever..."

Wang Shuyue nodded in surprise and asked softly, "Do you want to?"

"Qing Huan naturally wants to. If I could always stay by my master's side, I would never live long enough."

I can never live enough...

Shuyue tilted her eyes slightly and stared at the woman beside her who was as close to her as a sister.

He laughed crisply and said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about affecting Zhao Qing's decision. If you want to go back to Tianshui to take a look, just tell him."

At this moment, a faint sound of breaking through the air broke through the wind and rain.

My aunt's tall and graceful figure suddenly fell to the ground, causing ripples on the water in the yard.

She gazed at him with her beautiful eyes and whispered, "You are his wife. Just tell us what you want to do. We will accompany you."

Gu Qinghuan's expression faltered slightly, her beautiful face full of smiles: "Qinghuan doesn't want to yet."

"How's it going, Master?"

Zhou Xiaoyi tossed the communication jade in her hand and shook her head slightly: "He should have arrived at the Changsheng Sword Sect by now. If there is any news, I will send a message at any time."

……

Changsheng Sword Sect.

In the huge training ground, the sound of wind and rain could not drown out the humming of swords.

Today is the last day of the Changsheng Sword Outer Sect's martial arts performance... Even with the wind and rain, there are still thousands of disciples sitting on the stone steps watching.

In a corner at the highest point of the martial arts arena, Zhao Qing sat quietly on the stone steps, staring at the two outer disciples of Changsheng Sword who were fighting.

Beside him, in addition to Shen Mo, there were three cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining, with solemn expressions.

These are all the people who came from the Blood Robe Tower.

Including Zhao Qing, a total of four guest officials in the Qi Refining Stage have signed up for the assessment.

But right now... the assessment hasn't started yet.

According to Shen Mo, Chen Changsheng, the leader of Changsheng Sword, is a disciple of Jiujian.

The winners of today's martial arts competition will participate in the Nine Swords Tower's disciple assessment...

Zhao Qing pondered the situation for a long time before he finally understood it.

What he was going to participate in was actually the joint disciple assessment of the three floors.

Those who will participate in the Nine Swords Assessment are the winners in today's martial arts arena.

Those who participated in the Blood Robe Assessment... were himself and the three people around him.

As for Liyan Tower...

His extremely concentrated spiritual sense probed out of the Niwan Palace and swept lightly across the other side of the martial arts field.

There, a man and a woman looked up at the same time and looked towards Zhao Qing.

The three people's spiritual consciousness touched slightly, and then they withdrew and looked at each other in silence.

Zhao Qing took a deep breath.

The level of concentration of these two people's spiritual consciousness is actually higher than mine!

I have few rivals, but I don’t have any empty promises.

There are three on Xue Yi's side, and only two on Li Yan's side. As for the Changsheng Sword Sect...

In the martial arts arena, the sword ball was spinning on the jade bone fan. The female cultivator held the fan in one hand and turned to look at the sect elder.

Opposite her, her fellow disciple had already bowed his head in admission of defeat.

"Luo Xianning versus Meng Dehai, Luo Xianning wins!"

"Xian Ning, several brothers have come to Divine Blade Island. Please spar with them."

The female cultivator holding the jade fan showed no sign of surprise and cast her gaze outside the martial arts arena...

Three male cultivators walked slowly over, and ripples appeared in the training ground.

The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light reflected the face of the female cultivator holding the fan, which was instantly blurred by the rain... and became blurred as it flowed.

The next moment, the area around the training ground became noisy.

"The man with the divine sword!"

"How dare you come to our Changsheng Sword!"

"You've all gone back to the East China Sea. Don't you understand who has the final say in the Chu State?"

Seeing the disciples of Shendao Island, there was an uproar in the crowd.

Zhao Qing looked puzzled and cast his gaze towards Shopkeeper Shen... What did this mean?

Shen Mo chuckled and shook his head.

Thinking of Liu Zijing's instructions, he sent a telepathic message to Zhao Qing: "They are also here to participate in the Nine Swords test."

"The leader of the Divine Blade Island, Lu Qing... is also a disciple of the Nine Swords Tower."

ha! ?

Zhao Qing was slightly stunned, and he instantly understood why Lu Qing wanted to destroy Nanzefang with one sword.

It turned out that he was speaking up for Cheng Yue!

Nanze is the place of Danxia Sect. Although Cheng Yue doesn’t care about Qian Hongwei’s defection, that Lu Qing... he obviously has a bad temper.

Even the disintegration of the Four Symbols Sect was closely related to this incident.

It seems that Cheng Yue is quite popular?

But the next moment, he fell into deep doubt again.

The Sword of Eternal Life, the Divine Sword Island...

Chen Changsheng, Lu Qing... Nine Swords Tower actually has two Nascent Soul cultivators in Chu! And both have founded their own sects. Their relationship doesn't seem to be on good terms, does it?

In her mind, Si He said in a delicate voice, "Look, how could the Nine Swords Tower, which overlooks the mortal world, be filled with only sword cultivators?"

At this moment, Zhao Qing obviously had no time to respond to Si He.

He was already in deep doubt.

The two most powerful sects in Chu...a decades-long sword war...

Their respective leaders are actually fellow disciples!

What confusing behavior?
