Only then did Xia Yuke calm down her anger.
She plucked some leaves from the trees around her and played with them, thinking:
"I think it would be okay to let Aunt Nan notify both families."
"She and Huanxue just learned about the Huatian Sect, so they need some time to recover."
"Let them go out more often, relax and it will also enhance their relationship."
"I'd better follow you, so that you won't have any conflicts with the Sun family without me as a middleman."
Xia Yuke became more and more excited as she spoke, and even snapped her fingers. She felt that her arrangement was perfect and that everyone was considerate.
Lu Zhiqiu was not without worry:
"Is that too late?"
Xia Yuke understood what Lu Zhiqiu was worried about. She smiled and took off the jade hairpin from her head. A sound transmission spell was solidified on it:
"Generally speaking, blood and qi are collected in March. It's still October now, so there's certainly still time."
"Besides, we are all cultivators. Wouldn't it be better if we could just send a message over a thousand miles?"
"Let my grandfather wait at home until Aunt Nan brings back the new technique."
Seeing Lu Zhiqiu, he was speechless.
Xia Yuke couldn't help feeling a little smug. With a smile on her face, she left happily.
Lu Zhiqiu looked at Xia Yuke's departing back.
A faint sigh.
……
Ten days later.
Lu Zhiqiu and Xia Yuke bid farewell to the Feng family and rushed to the Sun family.
Among all the people who came to see him off, the eldest elder cried the loudest.
In Xia Yuke's words.
I'm afraid I don't cry so hard to my ancestors even during the Qingming Festival every year.
Lu Zhiqiu was so frightened that he didn't dare to stay any longer.
He and Xia Yuke stepped on the flying sword and soared into the sky.
The flying sword is an ordinary Qi training tool that Lu Zhiqiu picks up casually. It is low-key when used for transportation, and it can also confuse the opponent when fighting with others.
The enemy tried every possible means to guard against Lu Zhiqiu's flying sword, but a leaf shot out from behind him and caught the enemy off guard.
It was exactly what Lu Zhiqiu wanted.
The two of them flew in the sky.
Xia Yuke always leaned towards Lu Zhiqiu intentionally or unintentionally.
Lu Zhiqiu dodged twice.
Xia Yuke came over three times.
Her reasons were valid:
She was too tired from practicing last night and had difficulty flying the sword, so she needed someone to lead her.
Lu Zhiqiu was at his wit's end, he put his hands on his hips and said unhappily:
"How about I fly my sword and you hold me."
Xia Yuke was not polite at all. She put away her flying sword immediately, stepped onto Lu Zhiqiu's sword with a smile, put her arm around her waist, and rested her head on Lu Zhiqiu's shoulder.
You can also smell the faint body fragrance on your neck.
Lu Zhiqiu sighed and concentrated on controlling the sword.
It's normal for girls to hug each other, fly with swords, etc.
She secretly convinced herself in her heart.
Flying for two days.
Both of them noticed something was wrong.
There are more and more people flying with swords nearby.
And their directions were surprisingly consistent, as if they had made an appointment to do something big.
Lu Zhiqiu keenly noticed something unusual.
She stopped a middle-aged man in Taoist robes in the air and asked politely:
"My fellow Daoist, do you know what happened? I see a lot of people flying south recently."
As she spoke, she naturally released the aura of peak Qi training.
That's right.
In just three or four months, Lu Zhiqiu's cultivation finally reached the peak of Qi training again.
Just like when she was in Luofu Realm.
The man in the Taoist robe sensed Lu Zhiqiu's cultivation and did not dare to neglect him. He immediately bowed and responded respectfully:
"Senior, you don't know."
"You know the Anti-Heaven Alliance, right? It's a very famous yet extremely mysterious organization among the independent cultivators."
"Five days ago, they announced that a grand spectacle was taking place in Luoyang City in the south. They hoped that all fellow cultivators would arrive quickly to witness it with them."
The Heaven-Defying Alliance...
Lu Zhiqiu knew that this was the person that Huatian Sect had deliberately cultivated to stir up trouble in the world of immortal cultivation by taking advantage of the orphans' hatred towards the aristocratic families.
They said they wanted to see a good show.
It was hard for Lu Zhiqiu not to think too much.
She frowned and asked:
"They said there was a show to watch, so you all went over? I don't remember the Anti-Heaven Alliance having such a big face."
The man in the Taoist robe laughed and said:
"Could it be that Senior has been in seclusion for too long and neglected current affairs?"
"In addition to the leader of the Against the Heaven Alliance this year, one of its deputy leaders also broke through to the peak of Foundation Establishment last month. With two peak-level players in the alliance, it is already one of the most powerful forces among the independent cultivators."
"Even if it's the eight great families, I'm afraid none of them can be a match for the Anti-Heaven Alliance in a one-on-one fight."
The Long River of Clear Tears: Chapter 33: Luoyang City and Xiaohua
Lu Zhiqiu was not surprised when he heard this.
On strength.
If the independent cultivator camps were combined together, they would definitely be much larger than the eight major families.
After all, the population base is large, so there are naturally many cultivators.
But the independent cultivators have never been infallible.
The Anti-Heaven Alliance is the only one that clearly opposes the eight major families.
Most of the independent cultivators, not knowing the inside story, naturally remain neutral.
Some are on good terms with the Anti-Heaven Alliance, while others are on good terms with the Eight Great Families.
Take the Xia family for example.
In addition to the four foundation-building elders in the family, there are actually three guest officials hired from outside, all of whom are independent cultivators who are building their foundation.
After all, the eight great families have the rewards distributed by the Huatian Sect, and their foundation is strong. Many independent cultivators covet the treasures of the families, so they naturally try every means to establish relationships with the families.
After thinking for a while, Lu Zhiqiu asked again:
"Then do you understand the inside story?"
"For example, what exactly is this drama about?"
"Why did the Anti-Heaven Alliance suddenly make such an arrangement? What's their intention? They can't just set up a stage and invite everyone to watch the show."
The man in the Taoist robe clasped his fists and smiled bitterly:
"Senior, this is truly embarrassing for me. A Qi practitioner of my level can barely catch up with rumors, so how could I possibly know such a deep secret?"
Lu Zhiqiu thought about it and agreed.
I didn't stay with him for too long and left on the pretext of something.
Up the flying sword.
Xia Yuke noticed the melancholy between Lu Zhiqiu's brows and asked:
"Are you worried that this matter is related to the eight major families?"
Lu Zhiqiu nodded and expressed his doubts:
"Exactly."
"But there are no other aristocratic families within a thousand miles of Luoyang City. It doesn't make sense to say that the Anti-Heaven Alliance is setting a trap against the aristocratic families."
There was silence for a while.
Lu Zhiqiu looked up at Xia Yuke and said:
"Let's not go to the Sun family yet. Let's go find the Anti-Heaven Alliance first."
Xia Yuke was startled and a little nervous:
"But the Anti-Heaven Alliance is very hostile to the Eight Great Families. If we just go there, will it be dangerous?"
Lu Zhiqiu pinched Xia Yuke's face and said with a smile:
"Have you been blown silly by the cold wind in the air?"
"I just beat up the Feng family's chief elder, and you're still worried that I'm in danger?"
Xia Yuke also realized that she was too concerned and confused. She blushed and turned her head away.
then.
The two men turned their flying swords around.
Flying towards Luoyang City.
……
Luoyang City.
As soon as the two landed, a thin girl in a gray robe, who looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, came over and greeted them enthusiastically:
"Two immortal sisters, are you here to watch the show too?"
"Xiaohua grew up in Luoyang City and is very familiar with every plant and tree here. I will be your guide and ensure that you have the best experience in the city."
Say it.
The girl rubbed her hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but her eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
Lu Zhiqiu looked at it carefully and said with a smile:
"Your name is Xiaohua? I see that you have a mid-grade spiritual root and are in the early stages of body forging. You have an extraordinary future. Why do you choose to work as a servant?"
The girl answered frankly:
"Practicing is difficult, practicing as an independent practitioner is even more difficult, and practicing as an independent practitioner is even more difficult."
"I've only just started training my body, so I can't claim to have a bright future. I simply hope to serve you all, and hopefully receive a few rewards and guidance to help me build up some resources for my cultivation."
Before Lu Zhiqiu awakened the Book of Zhaoshi, he was also a casual cultivator struggling on the path to becoming an immortal.
