Chapter 232: Tsundere Xiaoli, Traveling Together
After chatting for a while, the table of Jianghu men paid the bill and left the teahouse.
It seemed that they wanted to hurry up so as not to miss the big show of Liuyun Sect.
After they left, the other two tables of people also began to pay the bill and leave one after another.
Lu Qing glanced at their backs for a few times, revealing a thoughtful look.
After drinking two pots of tea and eating all the steamed buns, Lu Qing and his friends rested for a long time, and only continued their journey after the horses were full and rested enough.
"Old Doctor Chen, I didn't expect that Liuyun Sect would cause such a big incident."
Wei Zian said in surprise on the carriage.
"Yes, I thought their young master was missing and they should be very anxious, but they used this as an excuse to intensify the exploitation and looting of other small forces." Ma Gu also sighed.
Only Lu Qing did not speak, revealing a thoughtful look.
The old doctor noticed his expression and asked, "Ah Qing, what are you thinking about?"
"Master, I'm thinking, the young master of Liuyun Sect clearly died in Qingfeng Town, and no other Liuyun Sect disciples escaped at that time.
Logically, Liuyun Sect should not confirm the death of their young master so quickly, at most they should think he is missing.
But why has the news spread all over Yunzhou now?" Lu Qing asked in confusion.
"Yes." Ma Gu also reacted, "We came from Qingfeng Town without delaying our trip, but listening to what those Jianghu people said just now, it seems that we just dominated the young master not long ago, and Liuyun Sect knew the news of their young master's death. It is indeed a bit strange."
Hearing this, Lu Qing's heart moved slightly.
"Ah Qing, have you thought of anything?" The old doctor asked when he saw this.
"There is one thing. I think that Liuyun Sect must have some rare treasure that can determine the life and death of their young master in a short time. Otherwise, it is a bit hard to explain."
"Is there such a rare treasure in the world?" Ma Gu said in surprise, "According to the map given by Master Fang, Liuyun Sect is thousands of miles away from Qingfeng Town!"
"There are all kinds of wonders in this world, and it cannot be said that there are no such rare treasures. Just like the big tripod of Zi'an's family, before you have seen it, can you imagine that there are such magical things in the world?" Lu Qing said with a smile.
Ma Gu thought of the strange big tripod he saw in the underground cave of Wei's family, and he was speechless for a while.
Indeed, before seeing the magical big tripod with his own eyes, he really couldn't imagine that there was such an incredible treasure in the world.
However, the old doctor did not question Lu Qing's words.
He knew that Lu Qing had the inheritance of cultivating immortals. Since he dared to say so, he obviously thought of what means Liuyun Sect used to determine the death of the young master.
The carriage returned to silence, and Lu Qing fell into thought again.
Yes, he did have some guesses.
If Liuyun Sect really used the means of life cards or soul cards to confirm Mo Xuan's death, it means that someone in Liuyun Sect has also obtained the inheritance of immortal cultivation.
At least, they have obtained some immortal artifacts.
In this case, their trip to Liuyun Sect this time may have some variables.
However, even if there are variables, Lu Qing is not worried.
Not to mention that Master has not only broken through his cultivation, but also become a Qi Refiner. The spiritual power in his body is increasing every day, and his strength is not inferior to the innate great success.
Just talking about himself, if he is really forced into a corner, he will directly break through and step into the innate realm.
By then, his cultivation will increase dramatically, and he will condense the innate true qi, plus the two spiritual artifacts Qiankun Yiqi Bag and Tulingzhu.
His combat power is probably more exaggerated than Master, and he is not afraid of anyone at all.
By then, even if a real immortal cultivator appeared in Liuyun Sect, he would be confident that he could beat him until he couldn't find any teeth.
The carriage was moving slowly.
Knowing that the major sects in Yunzhou would go to Liuyun Sect to ask for punishment in a few days, Lu Qing and his companions were not in a hurry to travel.
Anyway, at their speed, they would definitely arrive at Liuyun Sect in three days.
They could watch a big show for free, so why not.
When it was dusk, the carriage stopped.
"Old doctor, it's getting dark. There is a dilapidated temple ahead. I think we may have to stay there tonight." Ma Gu said.
"Let's stop there." The old doctor nodded.
Anyway, most of them stayed in the wild these days, and they were used to it. It was lucky to have a dilapidated temple to shelter them.
Ma Gu drove the carriage and slowly approached the dilapidated temple.
After entering, they found that it was a small abandoned mountain temple.
And...
Lu Qing looked at the horses outside the temple, and his heart moved slightly, as if someone had occupied this place earlier than them.
The people in the temple heard the movement of the carriage, and two people came out to check. As soon as they saw each other in the face, people on both sides were stunned.
Lu Qing was slightly stunned and raised his eyebrows.
What a coincidence.
It turned out that the two people who came out were a young man and woman carrying long swords, and they had just met at noon.
They were guests from one of the other tables drinking tea and resting in the teahouse.
Ma Gu was also a little stunned when he saw the young man and woman.
But he quickly reacted and stepped forward and said politely: "Hello, young lady, young man."
"Uh, you're welcome. Hello, I didn't expect that we would meet here again."
The young man and woman also came back to their senses at this time and said hurriedly.
Obviously, they also recognized Lu Qing and the others.
"Yes, meeting is fate. I wonder if there is any place in this temple where we can hide from the cold fog and morning dew?"
At this time, the old doctor came forward and said gently.
"Yes, yes, this temple looks small from the outside, but it is quite spacious inside. If you don't mind, you can squeeze in."
Seeing that the old doctor had a kind face and Lu Qing and the others did not look like bad people, the young man and woman also relaxed their vigilance and said hurriedly.
"Thank you very much."
After saying thank you, the old doctor took Lu Qing and the others and followed the young couple to the temple, while Ma Gu went to park the carriage.
There was a small front yard inside. After crossing the yard, they arrived at the temple dedicated to the mountain god.
Entering the temple, they saw three people inside, a fat middle-aged man and two young men.
"Ping'er, who is outside?"
The fat middle-aged man asked casually when he saw the girl enter.
"Dad, it's the old doctor Chen and his friends who we met at the tea shed at 10 pm. They just arrived here and saw that it was getting late, so they also wanted to come in and stay overnight." The girl replied.
"Old Doctor Chen?"
The fat middle-aged man looked at Lu Qing and the others.
The old doctor stepped forward and said politely: "My surname is Chen, and I am a doctor. These are my disciples and servants. We were so eager to travel that we didn't pay attention to our schedule. It's getting dark today. I wonder if you can help us and let us stay here for a night?"
"You are too polite, Doctor Chen. This is a place without an owner. Anyone can stay here. We are just one step earlier. We are not the owner of this place, so how can we borrow a room? It's not easy to be away from home. If you don't mind, please squeeze in with us."
The fat middle-aged man also recognized the old doctor and others.
After all, their group was a little special. There were not only old men with gray hair and beards, but also children of several years old. It was hard not to be impressed.
"Thank you very much. I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My surname is Xu..."
While the old doctor and the fat middle-aged man were chatting, Lu Qing and Wei Zian went to find a place to clean up.
On the other side, the girl named Ping'er came to Xiaoyan and looked at Xiaoli in her arms with curiosity.
"Little sister, what are you holding?"
"Hello, sister." Xiaoyan called sweetly, "It's called Xiaoli, my best friend."
"Xiaoli?" The girl looked at Xiaoli with squinting eyes, and liked him more and more. "It's so cute, can I touch it?"
"You have to ask Xiaoli." Xiaoyan looked down at Xiaoli.
Xiaoli opened his eyes, glanced at the girl, and turned his head to the other side to continue to take a nap.
The two little guys have been together day and night, and they have long been in tune with each other.
Xiaoyan understood what Xiaoli meant when she saw it.
She could only say in an apologetic tone: "I'm sorry, sister, Xiaoli doesn't like to be touched by strangers."
"Is that so." The girl also saw Xiaoli's actions and was a little disappointed.
But she was soon attracted by another thing.
"Little sister, you just said you wanted to ask it, can this little beast understand you?"
"Yes, Xiaoli is amazing, it can understand us." Xiaoyan said proudly.
The girl was even more surprised by Xiaoli when she heard it.
But she felt depressed when she saw Xiaoli's aloof look.
She rolled her eyes and thought for a while, "Little sister, do you know what Xiaoli likes to eat?"
"Xiaoli likes to eat fish!" Xiaoyan said without thinking.
"Like to eat fish?"
The girl was distressed when she heard it.
There was everything in their bag, but no fish.
After all, fish has a strong fishy smell, and no one who travels outside will bring fish in their bag for no reason.
"In addition to fish, does Xiaoli like to eat dried meat? I have a lot of dried meat in my bag." The girl asked hopefully.
However, Xiaoyan shook her head: "Not really, Xiaoli likes fish the most, and rarely eats dried meat."
"What about the dry food..."
Wei Zian, who was cleaning, saw the girl trying every way to please Xiaoli, and laughed in his heart.
Xiaoli, that guy, is very arrogant.
Except for Xiaoyan and Lu Qing, he has never seen it get close to anyone.
No matter who it is, it is indifferent.
Even if it is old doctor Chen, it rarely takes the initiative to approach.
Just like his mother, she tried every possible way to build a good relationship with Xiao Li in the past two years.
As a result, Yu didn't know how much bribes he had given, and the number of times he could actually hug Xiao Li was few and far between.
It was wishful thinking for the girl to win Xiao Li's favor with just a little food.
Sure enough, in the following time, no matter what method the girl used, she couldn't get close to Xiao Li.
Even if she took out her treasured and favorite pastries, she couldn't make Xiao Li open his eyes.
Instead, Xiao Yan got the chance and ate several delicious pastries.
Later, Xiao Li felt that this woman was too annoying, so he simply jumped out of Xiao Yan's arms, jumped onto Lu Qing's shoulders, and hid in his arms.
At this moment, the girl was completely helpless and could only feel depressed.
After all, there is a difference between men and women, and as a woman, she dared not entangle a strange man.
This scene naturally caught the eyes of the old doctor and the chubby middle-aged man.
"Old Doctor Chen, your little beast is quite human. I am being rude." The chubby middle-aged man said.
"It's okay. Xiao Li's personality is a bit strange. On weekdays, except for Ah Qing and Xiao Yan, it rarely approaches us. Please don't be surprised, Miss Xu." The old doctor smiled.
"So that's the case. This little beast has a strong personality." The chubby middle-aged man suddenly realized.
"By the way, Mr. Xu, I heard from you before that you are going to Liuyun Sect on this trip?" The old doctor asked.
"Yes, at the teahouse at noon, Doctor Chen should have heard that something big was about to happen in the Liuyun Sect. I am here to take my disciples out to travel and broaden their horizons. How can we miss such a grand event?"
"But didn't those Jianghu people at noon also say that the Liuyun Sect has always been tyrannical and overbearing? Mr. Xu, aren't you afraid of danger when you go there this time?"
"Haha, the Liuyun Sect is now being attacked by many sects in Yunzhou. I'm afraid it can't protect itself, so how can it care about idle people like us? Besides, although I am not talented, I still have some ability to protect my disciples." The fat middle-aged man laughed.
"Mr. Xu is amazing." The old doctor couldn't help but praise.
"By the way, Doctor Chen, where are you going this time?" The fat middle-aged man asked.
"We originally wanted to travel to the territory controlled by Liuyun Sect, but after hearing what those Jianghu people said at noon, we were a little embarrassed.
The Liuyun Sect is about to enter the storm vortex of Yunzhou. If we go there now, we may be dragged into it if we are not careful." The old doctor hesitated.
"I wonder what it is. What's the problem?" The fat middle-aged man smiled and said, "Doctor Chen, since you are also traveling, you should not miss this good show. This time, most of the sects in Yunzhou will appear. It would be a pity if you miss it."
"But..."
"No buts, it's rare that we get along so well. Doctor Chen, if you are worried about your safety on the road, you might as well set off with us tomorrow so that you can take care of us on the road. With us here, ordinary villains will never be able to touch you at all!" The fat middle-aged man said cheerfully.
Seeing the calmness on the face of the chubby middle-aged man, the old doctor hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying: "In this case, my master and I will shamelessly take advantage of Mr. Xu's help."
"No need to be so polite, it's settled!"
The girl on the side was surprised to hear the conversation between the two.
If they were to travel together tomorrow, wouldn't she have more time to get closer to Xiao Li?
Thinking of this, the girl immediately went to find Xiao Yan, wanting to find out more about Xiao Li's preferences from her.
Lu Qing was a little surprised to learn that his master decided to set off with the chubby middle-aged man and others tomorrow.
However, he did not ask anything, but continued to work on his work and prepare dinner for everyone.
Not long after, a strong fragrance began to emerge and slowly filled the entire mountain temple.
