The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 859 - 275: Hey, Friend, Fighting Is One Thing, but Let Me Breathe
No one inside, it seems the dean hasn’t returned yet.
"Perhaps, as Master Lu said, the academy might soon disband; what a pity!"
Zhou Qing murmured, then turned directly towards the teleportation array without lingering.
...
"Zhou, we meet again!"
Upon arriving at the teleportation square, Ke Shu, the son of the Mansion Master of Vast Mansion, immediately spotted Zhou Qing. With a broad smile, he approached to greet him, his eyes and brows full of flattery.
Zhou Qing nodded; after all, they had already met not long ago when Jiang Pojun had taken him to the border.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Jiang Pojun showed the border token, allowing them to skip the line and arrange a teleportation array just for them.
This made Ke Shu increasingly in awe of Zhou Qing, seeing as he had been with the Seventh Prince and Ninth Princess previously, and now was led by a Vice General under a border Prince, and was also a disciple of the third-tier Array Master Lin Daochen.
These halos were enough for Ke Shu to realize that the young man before him was destined to soar to great heights in the future.
"I want to go to the Vast Mansion; how much longer will it take?" Zhou Qing asked.
Ke Shu replied swiftly, "We can depart now, Zhou, this way, please. I’ll arrange it for you."
Ke Shu, with a face full of attentiveness, quickly halted a teleportation array about to activate and drove out those inside.
Ignoring the dissatisfaction of the cultivators within the array, he personally adjusted the coordinates and then invited Zhou Qing in.
Zhou Qing felt somewhat embarrassed, especially as the onlookers whispered and looked at him with curiosity.
"Senior Li was right; it’s better to offend a noble than a villain. Ke Shu, this person, if used well, is quite a good pawn..."
"Thank you!" Zhou Qing nodded in acknowledgment.
Ke Shu was instantly flattered and repeatedly stated, "It’s my duty," looking as attentive as he would serving a respected elder.
"Zhou, Zhou, wait a moment—" At that moment, an anxious voice sounded from the crowd.
Soon, Shen Yunzhou, standing on a suddenly appearing earth-yellow long sword, rushed over quickly.
But ultimately, he was still a step late; with a flash of light, Zhou Qing’s figure vanished from the platform.
"Damn!" Shen Yunzhou stomped in anger, just a little too late.
Regarding Shen Yunzhou, Ke Shu certainly knew him too, as not long ago, he, Zhou Qing, and Jiang Pojun had gone to the border together.
Especially as Shen Yunzhou was at the high Divinity Transformation Realm, which to someone like him at the Golden Core Realm, felt just like facing one’s elder.
"No need to worry, sir; I’ll arrange the next teleportation for you right away!" Ke Shu quickly said.
Only then did Shen Yunzhou look at Ke Shu, his face immediately brightening.
"Thanks for the trouble!"
"It’s nothing significant; this way, sir!" Ke Shu immediately bowed and led the way.
...
At Lingyun Mansion, teleportation square!
The chief here also stood respectfully beside Zhou Qing, with a smile plastered on his face, speaking amiably.
After all, before, both Young Master Zhang Wanbao from the Wanxiang Auction and the Mansion Master’s youngest daughter Xiao Cancan had queued before for this person to head to the Vast Mansion.
Such an esteemed guest must be served well.
Only by maintaining good relations could he continue to enjoy the perks of this lucrative steward position at the teleportation venue.
Until half an hour later, when the teleportation array in front flashed, Shen Yunzhou’s figure finally emerged.
Zhou Qing greeted him with a smile.
"Take care, both of you; if you need anything next time, just let me know!" The chief waved them off with full flattery.
...
On the flying ship!
Shen Yunzhou stared closely at Zhou Qing and said, "So, what’s the deal with Lady Li? Your conduct and actions don’t seem like someone who would abandon her easily?"
Zhou Qing looked at him, full of speechlessness, and had to patiently explain it to him.
Even as they reached the Wanxiang Auction, Shen Yunzhou still had knitted brows and remained silent.
Stealing others’ Spirit Medicine for a thousand years was indeed unethical, no wonder others were furious.
Yet as a woman, such infatuation was admirable.
But as a mother, it seemed somewhat irresponsible, constantly using heavenly treasures to inhibit the birth of her child; is what she carries still a human?
After all, only a person cultivating up to the Nascent Soul would gain merely a thousand more years of life.
Soon, Zhou Qing emerged, accompanied by Zhang Wanbao.
"Thanks for the trouble!" Zhou Qing expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Wanbao waved it off, saying, "Don’t worry, Brother Zhou, it’s just that recently Five Elements Spirit Stones are indeed hard to come by, but if I get one, I’ll save it for you."
Subsequently, Zhou Qing and Shen Yunzhou directly headed for the Eastern Domain.
"I’m quite curious, if Lady Li really gives birth, what kind of child would it be?"
Looking at Zhou Qing sitting on the deck, Shen Yunzhou couldn’t help but say.
Zhou Qing, seeing his face full of dilemma and curiosity, laughed and said, "Didn’t you ask Sister Tao to tell her, if born, to make you the godfather."
Shen Yunzhou, somewhat flustered, said, "Then you’d be the first father, and I’d be the second."
Zhou Qing helplessly shook his head, until the two passed by Canglan Mountain, looking at the place almost turned into an endless abyss, Zhou Qing was lost in thought.
Here, who knows how many people were buried, and Demon Beasts were even more countless.
Shen Yunzhou, filled with emotions, said, "Everything stems from Lady Li stealing that Demon King Hou Mountain’s Spirit Medicine?"
Zhou Qing nodded.
Now, with so much time passed, in fact, from today’s perspective, even without the incident with Lady Li, Sikong Yan would have used other means to end the war of the Five Sects early.
This indeed is interesting; Fu Kui, Elder Fu’s suggestion, was to prolong this war, to avoid ending it too soon.
One could see from the Vast Mansion side, where the Mixed Element Sect quickly suppressed other sects, yet the result was a direct engagement with the Southern Domain.
