Chapter 1195: Chapter 360: Is This That Father-Daughter Blood Connection? (6k)
When Zhou Qing saw Lu Yaoyao’s hair, white as frost and snow, he was still obviously stunned.
Looking at her back at this moment, he actually had a sudden sense of déjà vu of No.6, Shen Hanyi.
It should be the influence of that Ice Purity Skills Shen Hanyi gave her back then.
After all, the two had similar constitutions, and now the same Cultivation Technique; their temperaments would naturally be alike.
Except—
Looking at the note "Good Old Dad" above her head, he was rendered speechless.
This went back to when he’d brought her to Taichu Dojo to find Second Senior Sister; after slaughtering some people from the Vast Mansion in the Western Domain and giving her a few small Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystals, it had turned into this.
At this moment Luo Lingling had noticed the lively yellow-furred creature in front of her, and her eyes immediately lit up.
She had just been about to call out when Zhou Qing had already squeezed through the crowd and walked forward with a smile.
"Pa!"
His slender fingers lightly patted the back of Lu Yaoyao’s head.
Lu Yaoyao subconsciously turned her head and saw a masked figure, eyes full of smiling delight as he looked at her.
After a brief daze, her face instantly showed wild joy. "Zhou—"
"Shh!" Zhou Qing made a shushing gesture, then sent a voice transmission: "Why aren’t you staying put in the sect and instead ran all the way here?"
Lu Yaoyao was all excitement at this moment; she hadn’t expected that Old Dad would actually come.
Not only that, he’d even managed to find her so accurately in this vast sea of people.
You had to know that at the moment not only was her hair color changed, she was even wearing a half-mask on her face.
Could this be that special resonance of blood ties?
"Of course I came to find you. I still need to rely on you for the perfection of my next Realm!" Lu Yaoyao sent back excitedly.
Zhou Qing looked her up and down, raising a brow. "You really broke through with that Realm from last time?"
"Uh-huh!" Lu Yaoyao nodded vigorously, her eyes curving like crescents. "I’m dumb, the Realm of Filial Piety suits me best. Besides..."
She playfully shook her head. "I copied that album of yours for so long, I couldn’t change it even if I wanted to!"
Hearing this, Zhou Qing was helpless.
Forget it—being able to break through to Divinity Transformation was already a blessing; plenty of people were stuck in the Nascent Soul Realm for their entire lives.
"Congratulations on advancing to Divinity Transformation." He could only offer his congratulations.
Lu Yaoyao’s smile instantly bloomed like a flower. "I also have to congratulate Master Zhou! Right now in the entire Imperial City—"
"No, before long, the entire Eight Prefectures and Seventy-Two Mansions of the Holy Martial Dynasty will know that Taiqing Sect’s ’Mr. Ji’ Zhou Qing is the Dynasty’s one and only Level 4 Array Master!"
"Even you’re making fun of me?" Zhou Qing flicked her forehead lightly with his hand.
"Ouch!" Lu Yaoyao clutched her forehead in an exaggerated manner.
"Who are you!" A furious shout suddenly exploded.
Shen Yunzhou darted over like an arrow, shielding Lu Yaoyao behind him as he grabbed Zhou Qing by the collar, glaring. "I just turned away for a moment and you dare take the chance to bully my girl?"
Zhou Qing remained unhurried, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly. "Looks like those corpse miasmas helped you quite a bit; you reached Perfection this fast."
Familiar voice transmission reached his ears, and Shen Yunzhou’s eyes immediately widened. "Zhou Qing?"
Zhou Qing clapped a hand over his mouth, then shot Lu Yaoyao a look. The group squeezed through the crowd and retreated to the rear.
...
"Senior Brother Gui, Senior Sister Luo!" In a remote spot, once she saw Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling, Lu Yaoyao immediately bowed meekly.
The two stared at Lu Yaoyao, hearts filled with emotion.
Who would have thought that the little junior sister who had just joined the sect back then was now, like them, at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
If Zhou Qing was the number one prodigy of Taiqing Sect, then Lu Yaoyao unquestionably ranked second.
"Brother Zhou, not bad!" Shen Yunzhou punched Zhou Qing’s shoulder excitedly. "A Level 4 Array Master, you’re on par with my elder sister now."
"In my life, Shen Yunzhou has never admired anyone; you’re the first!"
Zhou Qing put away his smile and asked solemnly, "Why are you together with your sister this time?"
Shen Yunzhou had just opened his mouth when he suddenly glanced warily at Ghost Mastiff and Luo Lingling, then switched to voice transmission: "Last time Yan Sen and his nephew forcibly dragged you to Kunpeng Palace and ended up dying inside."
"I searched for you in the Qinluo Beast sea region for a long time before regrouping with you, then immediately rushed back to discuss this with my sister."
His expression grew heavy as he continued, "The Yan Family was enraged. That smiling tiger’s father is a Yan Family Elder, and the Fifth Ancestor placed high hopes on him."
"By the time I got back, the Yan Family had already been secretly investigating my sister for some time, and even came to the door to question her. After all, everyone knew that scoundrel Yan Sen had been pestering my sister all these years."
"I’ve been cooped up at home these past few years, almost suffocating. Fortunately the Yan Family had internal upheavals, and since they could never find out where the two went, the matter just fizzled out."
A sly glint flashed across Shen Yunzhou’s eyes. "My sister thought holing up at home looked even more suspicious, so she simply decided to come out for a while; the first choice was naturally the Holy Martial Dynasty, and we came by the way to see you."
Zhou Qing gave a slight nod.
It seemed that to monopolize the Secret Realm, Yan Sen and his nephew truly hadn’t revealed their whereabouts to anyone.
This let him breathe a sigh of relief; even if the Yan Family traced things this far, they wouldn’t pay attention to a small Taiqing Sect.
"Your sister still hasn’t returned from the border?" Zhou Qing asked again.
Shen Yunzhou suddenly froze, gave Lu Yaoyao a meaningful look, then raised his brows at Zhou Qing. "No wonder Junior Sister Lu kept hinting that you and my sister were a good match. So you put her up to testing me?"
Zhou Qing was dumbfounded. "What?"
"Don’t play dumb." Shen Yunzhou patted his shoulder, waggling his brows. "We’re all men here, I get it."
"If you spoke plainly, I could at least put in some good words for you in front of my sister. But as your brother, I have to warn you."
"With that icy-cold temperament of hers, could you handle living with her day to day? Even if you suffer grievances, aside from making up a bit of dignity in bed, at other times if you get into a fight with her, you can’t even beat—"
Before Shen Yunzhou could finish, Zhou Qing once again clapped a hand over his mouth.
"Big bro, we’re talking through voice transmission, why are you covering my mouth? I’m sincerely advising you. Look at those women on the lake—each one is way better than my sister..."
