The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 822 - 266: You’re Calling Me Uncle? My Sister Had a Child Out of Wedlock? (6k)_2

Zhou Qing couldn't help but cough dryly, quickly giving Lu Yaoyao a signal with his eyes.

Why talk about this?

It makes us look like we're deliberately seeking credit. Do you think I didn't want to take it all back then? It just wasn't possible.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yunzhou looked at Zhou Qing again, his eyes filled with even more gratitude.

He directly bowed, showing sincere respect: "Everything seems to be arranged by destiny, Brother Zhou, words cannot express my thanks for this life-saving grace. I, Shen Yunzhou, will remember it."

Zhou Qing hurriedly helped him up, secretly thinking: why don't you just thank me instead of playing word games.

But he politely said, "You're too kind, it was just a small matter."

After standing up, Shen Yunzhou wanted to say more, but noticed Zhou Qing staring at him with burning eyes.

This made him confused, and he instinctively raised his hand to touch his face, unable to resist asking: "Brother Zhou, is there something on my face?"

Zhou Qing: "..."

"No, just thought you looked so fair, almost like my storage bag," Zhou Qing laughed and reminded him.

Should we move on to the main topic now?

Shen Yunzhou burst into laughter, saying, "Nonsense, my sister and the others say my face is yellow, hardly white, but Brother Zhou, your complexion is fair."

Zhou Qing chuckled.

Then, Shen Yunzhou put away his smile and said solemnly: "Brother Zhou, to be honest, I came all this way specifically to thank you for saving my life."

Zhou Qing's eyes instantly lit up.

After all that buildup, I've been waiting for you to say this.

Shen Yunzhou continued: "I originally planned to use top-grade spirit stones, but halfway through, seeing your noble character, you didn't want ten for free, truly seeing money as dirt."

"This actually made me ashamed, feeling these mundane things are unworthy of you, even insulting you to an extent."

Zhou Qing quickly said: "Actually, you misunderstood..."

But before he could finish, Shen Yunzhou interrupted: "I know, things kept me busy, but recently I heard that in this Eastern Domain, no one is unaware of your name, Zhou Qing."

Shen Yunzhou kept talking to himself, eyes full of admiration.

Zhou Qing hurriedly said: "Those are just empty titles from the past. Actually, I do sometimes like those..."

"Let me finish. Now, with you destined to be the Junior Sect Leader of Taiqing Sect, such mundane things must be plentiful for you. My initial thoughts were narrow-minded."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's face twitched.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say he really lacked money, after all, who dislikes more of that stuff?

But under Shen Yunzhou's high praises, the words stuck in his throat, leaving him speechless.

Then, Shen Yunzhou suddenly bowed to Zhou Qing again, earnestly saying: "I have never met someone with such noble virtue, excellent cultivation, and temperament as Brother Zhou."

At this moment, Zhou Qing was already wanting to cry, turning his head to see Lu Yaoyao's eyes shining brightly, full of admiration for him.

What a disaster!

Zhou Qing wailed internally, his heart bleeding, watching helplessly as the top-grade spirit stones slipped away.

But since things reached this point, he didn't have the thick skin to directly demand money from others.

He had no choice but to smile, saying insincerely: "Brother Shen overpraises, I merely did what I ought to do. Your praise makes me somewhat embarrassed."

Lu Yaoyao also stepped forward proudly, saying: "Of course, my Brother Zhou has always had a chivalrous heart, doing things as he pleases, never seeking repayment."

Shen Yunzhou listened to Lu Yaoyao, admiring Zhou Qing even more.

He then cupped his hands together, saying: "It seems Brother Zhou is indeed a paragon among people. Meeting you today is Yunzhou's good fortune. If you ever need anything, just let me know, Brother Zhou."

Zhou Qing felt bitter inside, but maintained a modest appearance, waving his hand repeatedly, saying: "Brother Shen is too polite; we're all cultivators, helping each other as we should."

"Enough, Shen... I'll call you Brother Shen, then, Brother Zhou, the guest is here, chatting outside all this time is not right, you know."

Lu Yaoyao reminded with a smile.

Only then did Zhou Qing come to his senses, lightly patting his forehead and saying apologetically: "I overlooked it, please come in, Brother Shen!"

"Brother Zhou, Sister Lu, sorry for the intrusion!" Shen Yunzhou smiled broadly, slightly bowing to return the gesture.

As the three prepared to go inside, a clear sound suddenly echoed from afar in the sky.

The three instinctively looked up simultaneously, seeing a flash of light rushing over, arriving in an instant.

It was a somewhat familiar flying ship, made of unknown black metal, exuding a cold aura.

The runes flickered on it, intertwining to form an almost invisible protective glow.

The flag of the Xiao Family at Lingyun Mansion flew atop the ship's mast.

"It's from Lingyun Mansion—" Lu Yaoyao said with a touch of surprise.

Zhou Qing frowned, is it another inspection of his Taiqing Sect?

Then the cabin door opened, and two familiar figures emerged, followed by some well-dressed attendants.

Seeing the two approaching, Zhou Qing was taken aback.

"Xiao Cancan, Sister Tao, weren't you—"

For a moment, Zhou Qing was confused; returning from Lingyun Mansion recently, they said they wouldn't come.

Said the Mansion Master had given orders, why suddenly come now?

"Brother Zhou—"

Upon seeing Zhou Qing, Xiao Cancan and Li Shitao cheered happily, swiftly flying over.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Qing had to greet them with a smile, showing a mix of surprise and joy on his face.
