Chapter 233 219: Dragging Down into the Water
Zhou Su had changed out of her brocade robe into the green one,
The very one Lu Qingfeng had just thrown into the formation.
"Hoo—"
"Hoo—"
Zhou Su knelt on one knee, showcasing her graceful figure, breathing heavily. The hair tied behind her head was already scattered, draped over her shoulder, covering half of her face, making her look somewhat disheveled. Lifting her head, her eyes seemed to harbor an abyss.
The abyssal gaze was chilling to the bone.
Yan Pingshu glanced at Zhou Su, then at Lu Qingfeng, and chuckled, "Junior Brother has impressive skills."
Lu Qingfeng responded with a wry smile.
Looking at Zhou Su.
As the woman's eyes met his, Lu Qingfeng pursed his lips, suppressing his bitter smile.
Yan Pingshu, focused, said aloud, "Junior Sister Zhou, Junior Brother Lu, both of you belong to the same sect and have fought on Gathering Immortal Island, please come with Yan to the Law Enforcement Hall!"
Zhou Su glanced at Yan Pingshu and snorted coldly, walking ahead.
"Big Brother!"
Lu Qingyu stepped forward, somewhat at a loss.
"It's okay."
"Big Brother has our Master's protection, his prestige in the sect is extremely high, even the Sect Leader True Man has to address him as 'Honored Uncle Master', the Law Enforcement Hall won't dare do much."
Lu Qingfeng reassured Lu Qingyu with a smile.
"Junior Brother, keep a low profile."
Yan Pingshu's eyes twitched as he also said to Lu Qingyu, "Don't worry, a fight among True Disciples, at most a few months of confinement."
Lu Qingyu looked at his big brother.
Lu Qingfeng said, "Wait for me at Fei Huang Mountain, I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
Lu Qingyu nodded.
Then Lu Qingfeng left with Yan Pingshu.
...
Fei Huang Mountain.
Former Lantian Pavilion.
Yan Pingshu said to Lu Qingyu with a helpless face, "Junior Sister Zhou holds grudges too deeply, forced your brother into this, Yan can't help much either."
"When can Big Brother be released?"
Lu Qingyu asked anxiously.
"Three years."
Yan Pingshu replied with a bitter smile, "Your brother's incident partly involves me. While he's in Xuan Yin Cave these three years, if you face any problems at Gathering Immortal Square, just seek me out at Heavenly Observation Pavilion."
"Thank you, Senior Yan."
Lu Qingyu gave Yan Pingshu a bow of thanks.
"Your brother and I are both True Inheritors, you can call me Senior Brother."
Yan Pingshu shook his head and swiftly walked out of Lantian Pavilion.
"Xuan Yin Cave."
"Three years."
Lu Qingyu stood dumbfounded.
Somewhat unsure of what to do.
Over these years, she had always been by her brother's side, the sudden separation for three years, especially with her brother being incarcerated, left Lu Qingyu's heart without a place to rest.
Her mind was in disarray.
"It's my fault."
"No, it's not my fault."
"It's all that Zhou Su who stirred up trouble, causing Big Brother to take action and get dragged down, resulting in his imprisonment!"
Lu Qingyu was about to blame herself, thinking it was because she wanted to rent a shop at Gathering Immortal Square, and it was because her Jade Talisman was stolen that her brother was provoked to act.
But then she remembered her brother's teachings.
Lu Qingyu's eyes flashed ferociously, "I was just renting a shop, abiding by the rules of Gathering Immortal Square, what's wrong in that?!"
"Zhou Su!"
"It's all this madwoman!"
"Big brother, rest assured. I can take care of myself outside. When you come out, Peak Rain Mountain will definitely surprise you, and I will too!"
"One day, I will definitely let this madwoman receive the punishment she deserves!"
Lu Qingyu clenched her fists.
She hadn't felt this agitated, fearful, and powerless for a long time, similar to how she felt as a small child when her second brother was taken away by the Returning to Truth Sect.
Since then, her big brother had always protected her well, causing those early feelings to be lost over time.
Back in the fields, she told her big brother that they should cultivate diligently and go to Returning to Truth Sect to rescue their second brother. However, time had almost made her forget.
These years, though continuously cultivating diligently, there was still potential to be unearthed.
Being overly dependent had led to slow progress in her cultivation.
Now that her big brother was taken away by Xuanyuan Sect's Law Enforcement Hall, having experienced wandering and fear, Lu Qingyu, upon learning that her brother was unharmed, only imprisoned, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet a fierce determination arose in her heart—
"I will no longer be a burden to Big Brother!"
"I must help Big Brother earn Spirit Stones!"
"I must strive hard in my cultivation!"
"I must protect Big Brother!"
Lu Qingyu had been resolute since she was a child.
Originally seeing her second brother Qing Shan being weak, she disliked it, always taunting him.
However, this ferocity, as time passed, gradually got buried. If she continued to stay by Lu Qingfeng's side, protected from hardship, this ferocity would have eventually faded.
Fortunately.
The sudden 'misfortune' of Lu Qingfeng had awoken Lu Qingyu, instantly recovering her true nature.
Lu Qingyu remembered her brother's teachings, not engaging in foolish, useless things.
After learning from Yan Pingshu that her brother was safe, she firmly suppressed her worries and stubbornly prepared to start her venture.
First changing the name of Lantian Pavilion to 'Peak Rain Mountain', representing the three siblings.
She intended to grow Peak Rain Mountain tremendously by the time her brother was released, collecting materials for him and earning a large amount of Spirit Stones!
In the following days.
Lu Qingyu was cultivating while wandering around Gathering Immortal Square, familiarizing herself with the market trends, especially the prices of various materials and Spiritual Medicines.
She was also cultivating the 'Daluo Cave Temple'.
Although Daluo Cave Temple is a Divine Skill, it isn't as difficult to cultivate as other Divine Skills like 'Great Sun Annihilation Divine Light', 'Taiyin Calamity Crossing Robe', or 'Light Splitting and Shadow Transformation Void Condensing Sword'.
Lu Qingyu hadn't fully mastered it, but appraising some low-level items wasn't a problem.
Besides.
Lu Qingfeng had also given Lu Qingyu many Jade Scrolls with detailed information about materials and Spiritual Medicines. Lu Qingyu hadn't looked at them until now, taking them out to memorize diligently.
Exposure broadens knowledge.
Daluo Cave Temple could then be maximally effective.
Though her talent may be average, as long as she works hard and diligently, she will eventually become not only a solid support for her brother but, perhaps, even fight alongside him in the future!
