The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 847 - 272: Don’t Get the Wrong Idea, It’s Really Not What You Think (6k)_3

For example, ask Master?

"Don't worry, I'm currently asking some contacts to search a few places. If they spot anything, they'll surely inform me!" Lin Daochen reassured.

Zhou Qing bowed slightly, full of gratitude.

"I saw Jiang Pojun when I came in earlier. Are you heading to the border?" Lin Daochen asked.

Zhou Qing nodded and explained, "Elder Xuanyuan has some small tasks that need my help."

"Is it related to the Four-Color Array? Wasn't it repaired last time?" Lin Daochen asked with a look of confusion.

Back then, if it weren't for Zhou Qing during the array repair, he wouldn't have his current reputation.

But the kid gave all the credit to him.

Zhou Qing smiled slightly and said, "It's not about the array, just some other minor matters." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Lin Daochen nodded slightly, "That's good. If you ever face any difficult matters in the future, just let me know. Oh, and Master Lu is back."

"When did she return?" Zhou Qing's face lit up with joy as she remembered that last time she and Lu Yaoyao came, there was no news of her.

Lin Daochen said, "Half a month ago, she mentioned you to me, saying she plans to..."

"Zhou Qing!" At that moment, a surprised voice called from outside.

Immediately, a familiar figure hurriedly ran in.

Lu Yuanzhi, after years of absence, remained as graceful as ever, dressed in a light blue robe with icy patterns. Her hair cascaded like a waterfall, casually tied up.

However, the usual aloof aura that kept people at a distance now seemed more approachable.

Before Zhou Qing could react, Lu Yuanzhi, still unsteady on her feet, rushed over and hugged him tightly.

Lin Daochen widened his eyes in shock.

Zhou Qing also froze, his mind blank.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" A moment later, Lu Yuanzhi released Zhou Qing, her eyes red, tears glimmering.

Then, she suddenly grabbed Zhou Qing's hand and urgently said, "Come with me, I can't wait any longer."

Saying that, she dragged Zhou Qing away without acknowledging Lin Daochen at all.

Lin Daochen stared blankly at the scene before finally snapping back to reality.

What's happening?

Why am I so confused?

"Master Lu, please hold on. It's good to clarify things, your actions might lead to misunderstandings!"

Zhou Qing quickly called out, immediately looking at Lin Daochen, who came out to see what was happening.

Lu Yuanzhi finally realized and repeatedly apologized, looking towards Lin Daochen leaning against the courtyard gate, "Master Lin, it's not what you think with Zhou Qing and me, please don't misunderstand."

Lin Daochen made an understanding gesture with his hand and said with a smile, "I didn't see anything, don't worry."

Zhou Qing: "..."

"Zhou Qing, that thing really worked. Big Sister is already starting to sleep. Come with me to take a look," Lu Yuanzhi whispered urgently.

After all, Zhou Qing had specifically instructed not to let Lin Daochen know about the "Nine-leaf Concentration Flower" to avoid involving him.

Zhou Qing finally understood and was a bit curious, so the two headed towards the academy's secret realm.

"Did you find the Nine-leaf Concentration Flower?" Zhou Qing asked in surprise.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, "Yes, the Mist Swamp in the Qingming Mansion has many, but I didn't expect finding one 'Nine-leaf Concentration Flower' to be like searching for a needle in the ocean."

"Fortunately, perseverance pays off, or maybe even the heavens couldn't bear my sister's misery and finally let me find one."

Hearing this, Zhou Qing's eyes glimmered with joy.

Since ancient times, breakthroughs in the Spirit Severing Realm have been extremely dangerous, often leading to a fate worse than death or complete annihilation for those who fail.

The lucky ones might be unharmed, as if they just had some tonic.

Like the two Supreme Elders of the Taiqing Sect, but such success is rare, and people rarely attempt unless in dire situations.

Soon, they arrived at the academy secret realm, passed through the Four-Color Array, and saw Lu Yuanjiu again.

She remained in her massive eight-tailed fox form, but compared to their last meeting, her condition had improved significantly.

The wounds that used to constantly tear and heal had now mostly disappeared.

Lu Yuanjiu peacefully slept, occasionally snoring in satisfaction.

At this moment, tears welled in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes, and with a slight sob, she conveyed telepathically, "Honestly, it's been years since I saw Big Sister sleep this well. Zhou Qing, thank you so much."

Zhou Qing felt greatly comforted witnessing this scene.

The Talent Skill "Daily Reflection" could only appraise objects, not people, but it had a loophole.

Like the eight-tailed Lu Yuanjiu before him, she was a demon beast and currently in demon race state, making identification possible, much like a brooding hen.

However, the human-form Lu Yuanzhi couldn't be appraised.

To ensure absolute certainty, Zhou Qing focused and once again performed an appraisal.

"Eight-tailed Fox: A fox from the Fox Race that failed twice in breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm. Fortunately, after consuming the Nine-leaf Concentration Flower, along with her strong physical body and resilience developed over the years, she can fully recover in less than half a year."

Seeing the information, Zhou Qing finally relaxed completely.

After all, back when he could nurture the Enlightenment Ancient Tea Tree, the materials gifted by Lu Yuanjiu played a crucial role.

"The Nine-leaf Concentration Flower isn't suitable for everyone. I hope Master Lu understands my point!" Zhou Qing solemnly reminded through telepathy.
