The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 56: Why do you keep looking at the top of my head?

Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Why do you keep looking at the top of my head?

"By the way, we also found the missing people from the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect at Cyan Ox Ridge. They have now returned to their sect. In a few days, Immortal Xuan You, the sect leader of Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, will personally come to express their gratitude, and people from Cangyan Daoist Palace will also come to apologize."

Mo Xingjian suddenly remembered something and said.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu exchanged glances.

One doesn’t hit a smiling face; the other side has shown enough attitude, and now is not the time to fall out with them, especially when there are still hidden enemies.

"Alright, I see your injuries haven’t fully healed yet. Take time to recover. In a few days, the merits and rewards will be evaluated!"

Mo Xingjian looked at these two usually unreliable disciples and had to admit, this time they had really made him proud.

Zhou Qing actually wanted to try telling his master about the already deceased Senior Uncle Gao Xuan, but he didn’t know how to start, and it all seemed too bizarre.

How can you say that a living, breathing person standing right in front of you, who calls you brother, is dead? Who would believe it?

Moreover, Zhou Qing still didn’t know the other party’s true intentions; acting rashly might cause big trouble.

It would be better to investigate privately first and then find a way to tell his master.

"Third Senior Brother, where can we find the travel records of our uncles?" Zhou Qing asked Yan Xiaohu after they came out.

Yan Xiaohu found it a bit strange, then shook his head.

"There are only thirteen of them in the entire Taiqing Sect, and they don’t need to report to anyone or keep records of their travels. What’s the matter?" Yan Xiaohu asked, puzzled.

Zhou Qing immediately shook his head.

"No, I was just casually asking. Oh, by the way, Third Senior Brother, I’m treating today, let’s go to the Jade Dining Hall!"

Zhou Qing looked at the note above Yan Xiaohu’s head and suddenly had an idea.

Talent Skills [Heart Mirror Vision] now needed only 15 points to upgrade to level three, and he urgently needed the next quota.

Otherwise, the issue with Senior Uncle Gao Xuan gave him a vague sense of bad foreboding.

"Really?" Yan Xiaohu’s eyes lit up, but he quickly said, "We should save some Spirit Stones, besides Senior Sister Shi Zhen said she would treat us."

Zhou Qing was speechless: "That was just a polite remark. Moreover, Senior Sister Shi Zhen’s team was wiped out, even her beloved little junior sister Bai Xi perished there, how could she still be in the mood to treat us to a meal."

"Right, right, we shouldn’t disturb her at a time like this," Yan Xiaohu realized slowly.

Zhou Qing looked at the note that had hardly changed and Yan Xiaohu’s eager eyes, his face slightly twitched.

Senior Brother, at least give me some feedback, whether good or bad.

"Let’s go!" Yan Xiaohu urged when he saw Zhou Qing staring at the top of his head.

Am I really balding?

Zhou Qing coughed and then said seriously, "Third Senior Brother, I’ve decided, I’ll treat you to the Jade Dining Hall for a month straight, how about that? Surprised?"

Yan Xiaohu blinked, then reached out and felt Zhou Qing’s forehead.

Strangely, he said, "No fever, why, is your money burning a hole in your pocket?"

Zhou Qing sighed and turned to leave.

Out of five people, Second Uncle is missing, Third Senior Brother is uncooperative, Senior Sister Shi Zhen is heartbroken and can’t be disturbed.

So only Lu Yaoyao and Li Daoxuan are left.

Looks like I can only count on them for points.

......

The next day, Mo Xingjian took Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu to Yuqing Peak for mourning.

After all, the bodies of Bai Xi and the others had already been found.

Once, she was like Lu Yaoyao, joining a peak and becoming a core disciple; the peak masters had even brought gifts to congratulate her.

Now, however, she lay there covered in a white cloth, cold and lifeless, with even half of her body mangled beyond recognition.

Not only did people from Little Spirit Peak come, but also from other peaks, making the entire memorial process heavy with sorrow.

Zhou Qing and Yan Xiaohu placed their flowers down, feeling a sense of blockage in their hearts.

Although they rarely met, Bai Xi had always been vibrant and lively, giving off an aura of optimism.

"Senior Brother Du, Senior Sister Luo, thank you for arriving in time; otherwise, it wouldn’t only be one corpse lying there!"

After coming out, Zhou Qing saw Du Kui and Luo Xue from Golden Sun Peak and immediately stepped forward to thank them.

Du Kui, tall and robust, had a steady look, while Luo Xue, with delicate and exquisite features and skin as fair as jade with a faint pink glow, appeared to have been nourished by celestial dew.

Faced with Zhou Qing’s gratitude and bow, the two gradually emerged from their heavy emotions, smiling as they helped him up.

"The one you should thank the most is yourself. If you hadn’t held on, how could you have persisted until we arrived?" Du Kui said.

Luo Xue nodded: "Indeed, both you and Junior Sister Lu were incredible. The two of you managed to hold on with just Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation and even severed an arm of Yin Xiao. Such feats are enough to be proud of."

Zhou Qing smiled gently.

Yes, looking back now, it does send chills down his spine.

Thankfully, before setting out, he had practiced all three of his cultivation techniques to Great Success, otherwise, the outcome would have been hard to predict.

"Zhou Qing, well done this time. If it weren’t for you, at least half of Taiqing Sect’s elite might have been lost at Cyan Ox Ridge!"

At that moment, a gentle voice came from the side.

Turning his head, Zhou Qing saw Senior Uncle Gao Xuan walking over with a look of appreciation. Draped in a fluttering golden robe and carrying an imposing air, his square face and sharp eyebrows made him appear immensely dignified.

The entire person radiated a powerful aura.

Facing his stern gaze, Zhou Qing was slightly shaken and quickly bowed: "Replying to Senior Uncle, this is what a disciple should do."

Gao Xuan nodded lightly, then looked at Du Kui and Luo Xue: "You two should also learn from Zhou Qing, don’t always act rashly, and use more thought."

"Yes, Master!" They bowed in response.

Gao Xuan smiled and turned to Zhou Qing again: "Alright then, in the future, feel free to visit Golden Sun Peak more often. You brothers should always stay close."

"Yes, Senior Uncle!" Zhou Qing replied with a smile.

......

Watching the backs of Senior Uncle Gao Xuan and others leave, Zhou Qing’s smile gradually faded.

Previously, he didn’t feel it, but now with suspicion in his mind, facing Senior Uncle Gao Xuan’s praise and invitation made his back crawl with fear.

"What’s wrong, changed your target to Senior Sister Luo Xue?" Yan Xiaohu suddenly appeared from the side, wrapping an arm around Zhou Qing’s shoulder with a mischievous grin.

Zhou Qing was speechless: "Third Senior Brother, consider where we are, please don’t joke around."

Yan Xiaohu glanced around the solemn grand hall and shrugged.

When Zhou Qing returned to his room, he was pleasantly surprised to find the old hen had laid another Spirit Egg.

He quickly and carefully stored it away.

"My dear hen, following me, Zhou Qing, I guarantee you’ll live a life of luxury. Though you’re not too bright, I will never abandon you!"

Zhou Qing lovingly patted its head.

Tap tap tap——

The old hen tilted its head and pecked at the tiles, prompting Zhou Qing to quickly crush two Spirit Stones to feed it...

The next early morning, Zhou Qing, still asleep, was rudely awakened by loud knocking. If not for the barrier, the person would probably have barged in.

"Old Fourth, Old Fourth..."

Outside, Yan Xiaohu’s loud voice yelled, and Zhou Qing covered his head with a blanket in frustration.

Sister Bai Xi’s death affected him deeply. Now with the help of Heavenly Dao Qi, Spirit Eggs, and Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he wanted to quickly improve his cultivation.

So, having practiced late into the night, he had just fallen asleep when he was woken up.

"I need to exchange for a Sound Insulation Restriction at the Exchange Hall tomorrow!" Zhou Qing thought to himself.
