Ch 134: Refusing the Sect Leader’s invitation!

Lu Qing’an, upon hearing this, already knew the visitor’s identity.

Liu Lingxuan, Sect Leader of the Xianjian Sect!

However, he was unable to perceive her cultivation aura. Rumor has it that Liu Lingxuan is a Universe Realm Peak strong person, nearly stepping into the final great realm, entering the ranks of the Dao Saint!

At this moment, Liu Lingxuan’s gaze was like a sword, giving Lu Qing’an the illusion of being seen through, causing a slight discomfort in his heart. However, he remained composed, bowing to Liu Lingxuan: “Greetings, Sect Leader!”

At the same time, he secretly observed Liu Lingxuan.

He saw that her face was peerless, her features exquisitely crafted as if by heaven, her brows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her skin as white as frost and snow. Three thousand strands of green hair cascaded down like a waterfall, gently swaying in the breeze. She wore a white long dress, its hem light as a cloud, a silver sash tied around her waist, outlining her slender figure. Her temperament was cold and aloof, untouched by the mundane world, like a fairy descending to earth, her eyes clear and calm, as if nothing in the world could stir her heart.

“You are Wu Ciren? Are you willing to become my disciple?” Liu Lingxuan merely glanced at Lu Qing’an lightly before directly extending the invitation.

“No way, Senior Martial Sister! You want to compete with me for this too? Why don’t you just compete with me for women as well!” Du Feng instantly lost his composure, angrily staring at Liu Lingxuan.

“You dare to be insubordinate?” Liu Lingxuan coldly swept Du Feng with a glance.

Du Feng twitched the corner of his mouth. Every time he reasoned with her, it came down to power and martial might. More than a hundred thousand years ago, when Master was still alive, she would never have dared to treat him like this.

“Master, I miss you…” Du Feng silently lamented in his heart, tears welling up.

Seeing that Du Feng was speechless, only filled with resentment and unable to speak, Liu Lingxuan turned back to Lu Qing’an, saying: “Be decisive, are you willing to be my disciple?”

Lu Qing’an glanced at Du Feng, seeing Du Feng’s hopeful expression.

A weak and pitiful look.

Involuntarily, a little sympathy arose in his heart.

Lu Qing’an never imagined that beneath Du Feng’s appearance of powerful strength and status, there was such a side.

It was rather amusing.

Others, faced with such an opportunity, would have readily accepted the invitation of the Xianjian Sect Sect Leader, becoming a direct disciple, with a bright future in cultivation. However, Lu Qing’an had his own plans.

That is, to find an opportunity to safely enter the Advanced Longevity Exchange Tower.

While becoming Liu Lingxuan’s disciple also offered an opportunity, the path was complex, and it might even require obtaining Liu Lingxuan’s consent first, and then Du Feng’s consent.

And would Du Feng be unhappy because of his current change of allegiance to a master, hindering his goal?

Du Feng didn’t seem like that kind of person, but he didn’t want to gamble.

It was better to directly become Du Feng’s disciple; anyway, he didn’t care who guided his cultivation, and Liu Lingxuan was simply too powerful. Being watched by Liu Lingxuan, he felt that she might gradually discern his peculiarities – his possession of a vast amount of lifespan and treasures – making it easier for her to discover the secret.

In comparison, becoming Du Feng’s disciple was not only more convenient but would also win Du Feng’s favor, paving the way for future actions.

“Sect Leader, thank you for your kindness. Your cultivation is unfathomable; if I were to become your disciple, my future would be limitless. However, I am not one to break my word. Last night, I already agreed to Senior Du Feng, and I have always admired Senior Du Feng.” Lu Qing’an bowed, his words respectful and his manners impeccable, to prevent Liu Lingxuan from getting angry at him.

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden silence fell.

Liu Lingxuan stared at Lu Qing’an, her face showing surprise. This was the second time recently that she had been rejected. The first time was by Xu Qingying. And now, Lu Qing’an had done the same.

“Are you truly unrepentant?” Her cold voice was like frost, without a trace of emotion.

Lu Qing’an nodded slightly: “Sect Leader’s kindness, I am deeply grateful, but I can only let you down.”

Liu Lingxuan’s brows furrowed slightly. She stared at him for a moment, then her gaze shifted to Du Feng. Du Feng had been stunned since Lu Qing’an’s refusal, and only now did he come to his senses, a special emotion rising in his heart. He looked at Lu Qing’an as if he had seen a treasure.

This kid is truly outstanding!!

And now, being stared at by his senior martial sister, Du Feng couldn’t suppress the slight smile at the corner of his mouth: “Senior Martial Sister, this disciple of mine has excellent character, and my personal charm is also too good, what can I do?”

Liu Lingxuan: “…”

“Hmph, I hope you won’t regret this later.” Having said that, Liu Lingxuan turned and left, her figure disappearing instantly, as fast as lightning, as if she had never appeared here.

Once Liu Lingxuan was gone, Du Feng’s expression relaxed, his smile unrestrained: “Haha! You kid didn’t disappoint me!” He walked to Lu Qing’an’s side, patted his shoulder, becoming more and more satisfied the more he looked.

Seeing Du Feng so joyful, Lu Qing’an couldn’t help but smile. It seemed that his goal of entering the Advanced Longevity Exchange Tower was getting closer.

Du Weiwei also smiled radiantly at this time, her eyes full of admiration as she looked at Lu Qing’an.

She hadn’t expected Lu Qing’an to actually refuse the Sect Leader’s invitation to become a disciple!

Anyone else would have probably agreed!

“Martial Friend, I truly haven’t misjudged you. Thank you for letting my father finally have his moment of glory in front of Senior Uncle.” Du Weiwei laughed.

Hearing this, Du Feng glanced at his daughter and said helplessly: “What do you mean ‘finally’? When have I ever not been a step ahead of her?”

“Hee hee, ever since I could remember, I’ve never seen you get the better of Senior Uncle.” Du Weiwei stuck her tongue out at Du Feng.

Looking at Du Weiwei, who had the appearance of an older sister but was showing a sweet and cute side in front of Du Feng, Lu Qing’an couldn’t help but shake his head and smile.

It seemed that no matter who it was, in front of their parents, they were still like children.

“Haha, Xiao Wu, come, sit here, let’s talk about the future in detail.” Du Feng put his hand on Lu Qing’an’s shoulder, pulling him to sit beside him, already acting familiar.

Feeling Du Feng’s friendly attitude, Lu Qing’an became even more certain, secretly nodding to himself. It seemed that his previous choice had been incredibly wise.

Next, he only needed to maintain a good relationship with Du Feng, and then find an opportunity to make a request, saying that he had befriended a Saint Spirit Realm friend and wanted to go to the Advanced Longevity Exchange Tower, thus achieving his purpose of coming to the Xianjian Sect.

At that time, he would put on a mask and secretly enter the Longevity Exchange Tower to obtain a large number of Immortal Grade 8 Treasures.

Just one trip, and he would have the hidden strength to rival Universe Realm strong persons.

After that, he would continue to be Du Feng’s disciple, save up lifespan, and then continue to say that he knew another Saint Spirit Realm friend…….

After chatting with Du Feng for a while, Lu Qing’an secretly glanced at the sky.

As expected, Bai Lu should be arriving soon.

It was already the You time （5 pm ━ 7 pm）.

The time he revealed to Zhao Dezhu was after he met with Du Feng.

This would also prevent Du Feng from suspecting him, thinking that he had informed Bai Lu of the location.

But he waited for a while longer, yet Bai Lu’s figure was nowhere to be seen, and doubt arose in his heart.

“Something went wrong? Otherwise, he wouldn’t give up his only chance of survival.” Lu Qing’an secretly shook his head. He had already done everything he could; if Bai Lu didn’t seize the opportunity, he had nothing more to say.

After another incense stick of time, Lu Qing’an and Du Feng’s conversation was nearing its end. Du Feng told him that he would be holding an Apprenticeship Ceremony in ten days, celebrating his entry into the sect at that time.

Why wait ten days?

Du Feng said that he would most likely break through to the Universe Realm in ten days!

Then it would be a double celebration, shocking the entire Wangxu City.

“Yes, disciple will listen to Master’s instructions. Then I will return and cultivate. If Master needs me in the future, just send a voice transmission.” Lu Qing’an and Du Feng exchanged Voice Transmission Marks. Du Feng also specially gave him a gift, asking him to check it after he returned.

It should be something needed for cultivation.

“Good, go.” Du Feng smiled, appearing extremely satisfied.

Lu Qing’an nodded and bowed, then rose into the air and flew away along the path he had come.

As he just flew into the sky, he finally saw Bai Lu.

Only, Bai Lu’s appearance was different from when he had seen him in Panlong City.

He was severely injured, his body dirty, clutching his chest, his eyes full of despair.

Judging by his appearance, he seemed to have been recently humiliated.

Seeing his former friend like this, Lu Qing’an felt a bit of sigh.

At this time, Bai Lu also flew towards him. As their figures crossed, Bai Lu nodded slightly to him, a hint of gratitude flashing across his weary face.

Although not obvious, Lu Qing’an felt it.

And he also nodded slightly to Bai Lu, acknowledging his thanks.
