nLuo Jianqing didn’t like the word Mo Qiu used. “Sleep” sounded a little bit weird. Luo Jianqing was about to say something, but, to everyone’s surprise, the next moment a tremendous force suppressed on their bodies.

nSubconsciously, Luo Jianqing quickly flew to the pavilion and used his own body to protect Qing Kun from the force while Mo Qiu tried to keep his back straight and stared at Xuan Lingzi’s house with a sneer hung on his face.

nQing Kun was still recovering from his previous injuries. Luo Jianqing needed him to heal Xuan Lingzi, and that was the main reason he protected him in the first place. However, Xuan Lingzi interpreted Luo Jianqing’s action as a completely different thing, which made him totally ignored Mo Qiu who was standing stiff with a careless face.

n

n

nWhy are you protecting him? Why do you care about him so much?

nSix or seven years old… Luo Jianqing went out for more experiences during that time, but Xuan Lingzi’s Primordial Life followed him and didn’t discover anything usual. Could it be… could it be that he missed something?

nXuan Lingzi immediately lost his strength and tripped.

nLuo Jianqing didn’t know his Master had misunderstood him. He thought that those lower-level cultivation disciples might have mistaken Mo Qiu as a woman, but Xuan Lingzi was different. He could surely recognize that Mo Qiu was a man, and of course he wouldn’t misperceive their relationship.

n

n

nHowever, Luo Jianqing didn’t take this into consideration – Xuan Lingzi mistook Qing Kun as his son.

nLuo Jianqing held Qing Kun into his arms, protecting him, then raised his voice, “Master, it’s me. I came back.”

nThe force wasn’t dismissed.

nNoticing Mo Qiu couldn’t bear this anymore and almost bowed down, Luo Jianqing said again, “Master, I went to the Wan Shou Peak this time, and I was worried about your injury. These are my friends. I will go to your place… wait outside after I settle them down.”

n

n

nThe fierce force was finally withdrawn.

nLuo Jianqing sighed in relieve, leading Qing Kun to his bamboo house. Mo Qiu was irritated a little by what just happened, but still followed Luo Jianqing into the house.

nAfter they got in, Mo Qiu was totally intrigued by the furniture and decorations in the house. He wandered around in the room, like an energetic curious child, while Qing Kun sat on a chair quietly.

nLuo Jianqing said, “you guys wait for me here. My Master knew that I came back. I need to greet him.”

nMo Qiu wasn’t happy with this arrangement, “you’ve traveled a long way back, why didn’t HE come out to welcome you? Where is his manners?”

nLuo Jianqing immediately changed into a ashen face and said, “watch your mouth!”, then tipped Mo Qiu a wink.

n

n

nMo Qiu surely understood what Luo Jianqing meant. His friend was reminding him that Xuan Lingzi could hear every word they had spoken, but Mo Qiu couldn’t care less about it. He dragged Luo Jianqing’s sleeve, wouldn’t let him go.

nNeither of them wanted to give in first. Suddenly, Qing Kun said, “it’s a little bit cold.”

nLuo Jianqing and Mo Qiu stopped what they were doing to sense the cold. Surprised, they nodded in agreement, “yes, it is…?”

nIn the house next to Luo Jianqing’s, Xuan Lingzi was already an iced statue, “…”.

nKicking Mo Qiu into the room, Luo Jianqing finally got to the other house. He didn’t ask Xuan Lingzi to open the door this time. Bowed down, he told his Master what he experienced these months, then lowered his voice, “Master, I have something to tell you secretly, please set up a ward.”

nMo Qiu’s Cultivation stage was higher than Luo Jianqing’s. Since their houses were so close, eavesdropping was a piece of cake for him.

nThis time, Luo Jianqing didn’t wait long for Xuan Lingzi’s respond. “I’ve set it long before.”

nLuo Jianqing was shocked. He thought: long before? He did it as soon as I started talking?

n

n

nLuo Jianqing then asked Xuan Lingzi, “Master, did you see that kid I brought here?”

nXuan Lingzi, “…”

nLuo Jianqing touched his own arms and suddenly felt the temperature went even lower.

nAfter a long time, Xuan Lingzi responded him in a very unusual tone, “I… saw him.”

nLuo Jianqing was speechless. Why did his Master look a bit upset?

nHe couldn’t figure out a reason. Luo Jianqing frowned, “Master, I brought him here at the Yu Xiao Peak to introduce him to you.”

nXuan Lingzi said, “…I’m not going to meet him.”

nLuo Jianqing’s eyes widened, “Master?”

nXuan Lingzi’s voice was cold as ice, “I will never meet him!”

n“…but, Master, he might be the one and only Ninth-level Godlike Pill in the whole world. You’ve split your Primordial Life for me, risking your life several times and got seriously wounded. He can heal you. If you refuse to meet him, then what I did, what I’ve been through, those life-threatening dangers that I faced…could all be meaningless. I did everything in vain!”, Luo Jianqing couldn’t hold back his anger.

nWhy! I put in all my efforts to bring back the pill in order to treat your injuries. I escaped from the jaw of death and endured tremendous sufferings caused by bleeding gash. I did all of these to bring the Godlike Pill to you. Now you’re telling me that you’ll never meet the pill?

nWhy?!

nSorrow boiled in his heart, Luo Jianqing didn’t care about if Mo Qiu and Qing Kun werepeeking at them, he clenched his fists, trying hard to control himself from whacking the tightly closed door.

n

n

nNaturally, Luo Jianqing didn’t know that Xuan Lingzi was stunned by his words.

nNinth-level Godlike Pill?

nThat wasn’t Jianqing’s child but a pill?

nDelight didn’t last long. Xuan Lingzi felt his heart twisted together when he heard Luo Jianqing said ‘life-threatening dangers’.

nHe opened the door before he even knew what he was doing.

nLuo Jianqing was drawing his sword out, about to break the door, …then he fell into Xuan Lingzi’s arms and was dragged into the room.

nBoom!

nThe door closed behind him.

nSneaking behind the door trying hard to have a peek, Mo Qiu wasn’t expecting Luo Jianqing’s appearance, “what the hell? I can understand the ward, but, into the house? Come on! Why do they have to speak inside?”

nQing Kun filled his cup with tea, “well, why would they stay outside? For your convenience to peek at them?”

nMo Qiu was irritated but couldn’t find any word to refute him.

nInside the other bamboo house, Luo Jianqing never thought he could see his Master this soon.
