Immortal Cultivation Simulation, I'm Not a Bad Woman

Lu Zhiqiu sneered:

"Not necessarily."

Supernatural power: The first level of the Dragon Climbing Technique—the mighty scales create clear waves on the water.

With a low shout, the true energy in Lu Zhiqiu's body began to circulate rapidly, and a faint golden light shone in his eyes. In a short moment, his aura increased dramatically.

"Oh my god, you're quite something, young man."

Wang Yan stared at the scene with wide eyes, like a cat whose curiosity was aroused.

Lu Zhiqiu felt that if the other party had not kidnapped Xu Xianxian, it might have been an old man who was very much to her liking.

But now, she can only see the truth with her own hands.

Lu Zhiqiu swung his sword forward, his momentum far exceeding that of before, and there was a faint sound of wind and thunder coming from the sword.

Wang Yan used both hands to support the Panlong stick to block, but was actually shocked and took two steps back.

This time, he was really shocked.

Lu Zhiqiu continued to attack, his moves changing, and the overwhelming sword energy was like falling leaves, locking all the flaws on Wang Yan's body.

A large amount of true energy was consumed, but Lu Zhiqiu didn't care at all.

She just wanted more sword energy.

Seeing this, the old man Wang Yan lost his joking mood and showed a serious look on his face. He wielded the long stick in his hand tightly and his true energy formed a thick barrier around his body.

At a certain moment, Lu Zhiqiu thrust his sword forward diagonally.

The sword energy in the air whizzed down and hit Wang Yan with a loud bang.

The smoke cleared.

Wang Yan held the stick and coughed twice. His face became noticeably paler than before.

"Little girl, you are not the fox fairy or raccoon ghost in the story, are you? You are so evil that even some martial arts legends cannot match your power."

Lu Zhiqiu took a deep breath and said:

"So, senior, will you hand over Xu Xianxian or not? If not, then I can only use my best moves."

Lu Zhiqiu recalled the Canghai Sword he had just learned not long ago, and the remaining true energy in his body was just enough to launch this move.

Her sword began to move in a strange trajectory.

Wang Yan felt the vast aura revealed in the sword, his pupils shrank, and the strong sense of crisis made him feel like a thorn in his back.

He quickly said:

"Stop, stop, stop. I didn't kidnap Xu Xianxian. I'm looking for her now."

"If you hit me again, these old bones of mine will fall apart."

Lu Zhiqiu was stunned and his attack suddenly slowed down.

Chapter 18: Farewell

Lu Zhiqiu communicated with the old man Wang Yan for a long time before he finally understood.

This person, like himself, also came to look for Xu Xianxian, but didn't find her.

But having said that, since he wants to take Xu Xianxian away, I can't let him do as he wishes.

So, although the misunderstanding was resolved, Lu Zhiqiu still didn't give him a good look.

Wang Yan didn't care, but kept asking with a smile:

How did you get to know that little bitch?

Which senior's tutelage are you from? How could you possess such astonishing combat power?

Are you really only seventeen years old? Are you some old freak who has practiced martial arts that can make you look younger and now wants to show off among the younger generation?

Lu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at him and didn't answer.

You old man, why are you so lively? You don’t have any demeanor of a senior.

Could it be that Xu Xianxian learned her eccentric personality from you?

However, the stalemate between the two did not last long.

Because... Xu Xianxian came back with a bunch of steamers. Lu Zhiqiu moved his nose and could smell the aroma of various dishes.

Xu Xianxian put the steamer on the table, panting:

"Oh, I'm so tired! I almost broke my back carrying these dozen dishes."

"You little bitch, you always said you were a genius, but now you can't even lift these little things?"

Xu Xianxian staggered and quickly hid behind the table, then secretly peeked out with his eyes.

So skilled it's heartbreaking.

At this time, Xu Xianxian realized that she had not noticed that there was an extra person in the house.

"Master, Master...why are you here?"

Xu Xianxian asked with eyes wide open.

master?

Lu Zhiqiu was also confused.

She always thought that this martial arts legend was sent by the royal family to capture Xu Xianxian and bring him back home, but she didn't expect that he was actually Xu Xianxian's master.

She couldn't help but ask:

"But don't you use a sword? He uses a stick, so how can he be your master?"

Xu Xianxian said without hesitation:

"Although my master's skills are the highest in stick fighting, his sword skills are also not bad. Moreover, he uses stick fighting to guide sword fighting, which just makes up for the flaw in my sword skills, which is too gentle and not fierce enough."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded, this made sense.

Xu Xianxian suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking at Lu Zhiqiu, she couldn't help but ask:

"No, how do you know my master uses a stick?"

Lu Zhiqiu was about to speak, but old man Wang Yan interrupted him:

"Hahaha, I just saw this girl was very talkative and I couldn't help but show off a few stick techniques in front of her. You know, I like to play with young people."

While covering for Lu Zhiqiu, Wang Yan secretly winked at Lu Zhiqiu, implying that he would not reveal her secret.

Xu Xianxian curled his lips and murmured:

"Hehe, I knew it would be like this."

"Back in the capital, you often ran out of the palace to mingle with the beggars, and even earned the title of Honorary Elder of the Beggars' Sect. Speaking of which, they used dog-beating sticks, and you used the Coiled Dragon Stick, which was quite a match."

When these words were spoken, Lu Zhiqiu beside him was also amused.

A bitter look also appeared on Wang Yan's old face.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Wang Yan's expression gradually became serious. He spoke seriously about the business he came here to do:

"Girl, you've been playing outside for so long, it's time to go home."

"Several groups of guards came before, but you fought them off. Although no one was killed, I suffered a lot. Finally, your father had no choice but to let me come and personally invite you home."

"Can't!"

Lu Zhiqiu stopped in front of Xu Xianxian and spoke loudly.

Xu Xianxian looked at her in surprise.

Lu Zhiqiu realized that he seemed to have been exposed, and he coughed twice and said:

"Although you are a member of her family, since Xu Xianxian ran away from home, it means that there must be oppression in your family, which led to her resistance. I can't watch her return to the hell again."

Xu Xianxian and Wang Yan were both stunned.

Xu Xianxian touched his chin and said in surprise:

"Who said my house is a fire pit?"

Lu Zhiqiu was stunned and said with some confusion:

"When I saw you looking so miserable, I thought you had run away from home. After all, isn't that what they always say in the storybooks? How a lady from a wealthy family isn't treated like a human being at home, but just a pawn on a chessboard, so she runs away from home to seek freedom."

"For a more fantasy-oriented story, they'd write about the young lady of the family, who actually possesses an extremely yin body that's rarely seen in a century. To revive the family, she was sacrificed by her father in exchange for power..."

Xu Xianxian scratched his head and couldn't help but interrupt:

"What's the connection? I ran away from home simply because I wanted to go out for a walk. I stayed with you because I wanted to stay out there for a while. There's no deep hatred or grudges, and there's no plot about offering sacrifices or bargaining chips."

what?

Now Lu Zhiqiu was confused.

So, you, the little princess, left Beijing to experience life, not to avoid something?

At this time, old man Wang Yan also secretly transmitted a message:

"No wonder you were so hostile to me earlier, little friend. So it was because of this?"

"Just like this girl said, she really just went out this time because she was bored staying in the palace and ran out for a walk. I swear, there is absolutely no weird plot like you imagined."

"No wonder, that Eunuch Jiang was the only one in the pursuit team who didn't return to the palace. I'm afraid you killed him, right?"

"Don't worry, I don't like these eunuchs who bring chaos to the government either. You can kill them if you want. I won't tell anyone."

Lu Zhiqiu was silent.

She had previously looked through the Book of Omens and discovered that Xu Xianxian had a great catastrophe when she was sixteen years old, so she subconsciously thought that her sneaking out of the palace this time was related to this catastrophe.

For example, she sneaked out of the palace because she discovered a conspiracy against her, or found that the palace was a den of evil.

But now it seems that I was preconceived.

Xu Xianxian's birthday is in February. Now it is May, and she is still nine months away from turning sixteen.

In other words, at least for these nine months, Xu Xianxian’s life is not in danger.

If the catastrophe does not occur just after the age of sixteen, then this safe period can be further extended.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqiu put aside his worries and smiled sheepishly:

"So that's how it is. Ahem, I was reckless before. So, Xianxian, do you want to go home with your master?"

Xu Xianxian sighed and said:

"My master is here. He picked me up like a chick. There's no way I could escape."

"Besides, I've been out long enough this time, it's time to go home."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded.

Seeing that the misunderstanding was resolved, old man Wang Yan clapped his hands and laughed:

"Girls, don't forget the delicious food. I smell it, is it made by Dongfulou? I was here once twenty years ago, and their chicken soup with clams is a must-try."

Xu Xianxian rolled his eyes at him and said:

"I almost suspected that you had smelled something in the capital, so you rushed over to eat and drink with me."

Lu Zhiqiu watched quietly from the side, smiling without saying a word.

This master and disciple pair is indeed very interesting.

then.

Xu Xianxian ordered a table full of delicious dishes from Dongfulou on a whim, and it became a farewell dinner for her and Lu Zhiqiu.
