Of the six chosen ones of the Xu family, apart from Xu Chu in the Great Qian Dynasty, the other five have already left Cangzhou.

As chosen ones, they certainly need a broader horizon.

Seeing how hard they were working, Xu Qingzhou felt very gratified, and she could continue to relax and enjoy her retirement.

Having nothing better to do, he returned to the Great Qian Dynasty. It wasn't that he wanted to experience the feeling of a max-level character returning to a newbie village; his main purpose was to ensure that he could discover the appearance of the seventh Chosen One as soon as possible and prevent a repeat of what happened to Xu Qiufeng.

Xu Qingzhou has been doing this for decades.

However, when he first returned to Daqian, he would meet with his clansmen, and at the same time, all the prominent figures in Daqian would rush to visit him, which annoyed him.

So now when they come back, they simply hide themselves, walk around once, and go back, and nobody knows.

It's the same this time.

Xu Qingzhou first went to Lingyue City to visit the Xu Family Compound, then went to Qixing Mountain, Yunshan City, and finally Yuhe City.

There are some members of the Xu family in these places. Some of them should have gone to Duanshan City, but they are used to living here and don't want to leave.

Xu Qingzhou, concealing his presence, walked along the relatively bustling streets of Yuhe City, and no one could detect his existence.

Along the way, Xu Qingzhou overheard the residents' discussions and learned that Lu Chenlong, the grandson of the former city lord Lu Zhen, had now taken over as the city lord of Yuhe City.

Back then, Lu Chenlong and Xu Muge joined the Lingyue Sect together. As an ordinary spirit, he was more than capable of being the city lord of Yuhe City, and could even go a few steps further. With sufficient resources, breaking through to the Heavenly Palace Realm or even the Dharma Aspect Realm would be no problem at all.

"Huh? This person looks kind of familiar."

Xu Qingzhou suddenly saw a woman and paused slightly.

Ahead, a still-attractive woman in palace attire, accompanied by two maids, emerged from a shop and was walking towards them.

After thinking it over carefully, Xu Qingzhou realized that this person was actually Lü Zhen's daughter, Lü Qingqiu.

Back then, Lü Zhen intended to match her with Xu Qingzhou, but unfortunately, there was a high-status sycophant by her side, and she also had a more outstanding object of affection in her heart, so she simply looked down on the then unremarkable Xu Qingzhou.

Seeing her like that, Xu Qingzhou naturally didn't bother to say anything more, and so the matter was dropped.

She is currently still in Yuhe City, and her cultivation level is only at the peak of the Purple Mansion realm. With Xu Qingzhou's discerning eye, it is clear that without any extraordinary encounters, she will never be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in her lifetime.

The past is the past, and they will not have any interaction in the future, so Xu Qingzhou did not plan to go over and say hello. However, because of Lü Qingqiu, he suddenly noticed another person who came out from the merchant's shop.

Because this person has words on his head, he is none other than the seventh Chosen One that Xu Qingzhou has been searching for for many years!

[Xu Hao, double-door pass.]

This is a young boy, dressed in a gray robe. Although he is young, his eyes reveal a resolute spirit.

Xu Qingzhou thought to himself, "That's absolutely right! Those eyes... they're definitely the protagonist!"

To avoid startling him, Xu Qingzhou revealed himself when the people around him weren't paying attention before stepping forward.

Lu Qingqiu, who had just come out of the trading company, muttered to himself.

"That Manager Liu is really despicable. He promised to give me this batch of Qingyan Pills that just arrived, but now he says there aren't any left."

Her maidservant chimed in, "Yes, why don't you go back and tell the young master to teach this Manager Liu a lesson?"

The young master mentioned by the maid is none other than the current city lord, Lü Chenlong.

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness and anger flashed in Lü Qingqiu's eyes, and she remained silent.

Others may not know, but she knew that her nephew had never liked her, and she had asked him why before.

Lu Chenlong said that if he hadn't been arrogant and overconfident back then, and had instead chosen to follow Xu Qingzhou, the entire Lu family would be thriving now, and Lu Chenlong would have been able to leave the small town of Daqian with them and have a more exciting life.

Therefore, Lü Chenlong felt that his aunt Lü Qingqiu had ruined the Lü family's good opportunity to rise and also caused him to lose that chance to soar to great heights.

That's why she's always harbored resentment towards him. Although she's usually quite normal, whenever she tries to find Lü Chenlong, he ignores her. Unfortunately, as the heir to the family business, she can't do anything about it and can only endure it.

"Hey...."

Lü Qingqiu sighed inwardly. In fact, she often wondered if she would choose Xu Qingzhou if she had another chance.

The answer is obvious; after all, if it's not regret, why would one constantly reminisce?

Just then, Lü Qingqiu, who had raised his head, suddenly saw a very conspicuous figure not far ahead. The person was dressed in white, with a handsome appearance and an otherworldly temperament. He exuded an indescribable calmness and composure.

When Lü Qingqiu saw this person's face, he was greatly shocked.

She thought she was seeing things, so she rubbed her eyes. She hadn't seen him before; it really was him, and he was even closer now!

Lu Qingqiu's heart began to race. The little deer that had been dead in her heart for decades suddenly came back to life and started running around wildly.

"What's he doing here...? Could it be that he hasn't forgotten me either, and he's come here to find me?"

"I knew this day would come!!"

"My previous refusal to compromise and my waiting were both right!!"

Lü Qingqiu, whose nature is hard to change, is still as narcissistic as ever. Back then, she looked down on Song Bufan, believing that only the most outstanding ninth prince of the royal family was worthy of her.

Now that she is old and faded, seeing Xu Qingzhou, who is a powerful figure in the entire Cangzhou, walking towards her, she still thinks that he can't forget her.

When a person dwells on something for too long, their mind will inevitably become somewhat distorted.

Lu Qingqiu quickly tidied her hair and clothes, revealing what she thought was a sweet smile, and looked affectionately at Xu Qingzhou who was walking towards her.

At this moment, they were only about five zhang apart, and Lü Qingqiu felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She had even begun to imagine the envious looks she would receive from everyone when she left Daqian with Xu Qingzhou and moved to the great city of Cangzhou.

And that disrespectful brat Lü Chenlong, he'll definitely have to fawn over me in the future.

Thinking of this, Lü Qingqiu's smile became even brighter, which made the wrinkles that had been hidden at the corners of her eyes appear.

Closer and closer, only two zhang away, almost within reach.

Lu Qingqiu felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she also saw the gentle smile on Xu Qingzhou's face.
