The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 863 - 276: Nannan, This Is Brother Zhou Qing—He’s Good Friends With Your Daddy
Shen Yunzhou heard this, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and couldn’t help but chuckle: "Hey, you’re quite an interesting person, aren’t you? So well-informed?"
Despite saying this, he did not move forward but appropriately kept his distance from Sikong Yan, maintaining a defensive posture.
Sikong Yan, on the other hand, remained calm and chuckled softly, looking him over: "So young and already at Late Stage Divinity Transformation Realm, you’re not from Lingyun Mansion, are you?"
Shen Yunzhou crossed his arms over his chest, tilted his chin up, a hint of defiance in his eyes: "You’ve got a good eye. But I’m more curious, are you a Puppet Master?"
At these words, Sikong Yan gently shook his head, speaking indifferently: "Just dabbled a bit. May I ask how you address yourself and why you appear here?"
"Is this your backyard? Can’t I take a stroll?" Shen Yunzhou raised an eyebrow in retort.
Sikong Yan was not annoyed but instead threw back his head and laughed: "Of course, feel free. But your temper reminds me of an old acquaintance, who seems to be here as well."
Before he finished speaking, his gaze inadvertently glanced towards the distant mountains and forests.
Zhou Qing, who had been observing from the shadows, suddenly saw the two look over at him simultaneously, his face changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned away.
Not far behind him, a person in white stood silently with their back to him, clothes billowing, a figure exuding a touch of cold aloofness.
Zhou Qing looked at Lin Jin, then at Sikong Yan who was looking this way, and at this moment, the doubts in his heart were finally resolved.
"You two indeed know each other!" Zhou Qing said coldly.
The last time outside the Taiqing Sect’s gate, Lin Jin insisted on buying a large quantity of [Bad Luck Stickers] from him, which he refused.
When he merely asked why he would use the [Bad Luck Stickers] on Chief Eunuch Gao Xianzhong, he left without a word.
And now, coincidentally appearing here.
Coupled with the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace, where Sikong Yan said he erased the Fifth Prince, everything sufficed to prove the unusual extent of their relationship.
This also further explained why in the White Jade Taixu Courtyard, Lin Jin initially would trouble Yan first.
Because Yan had repeatedly dug up the Cangyan Daoist Palace’s ancestral graves, the last time even sneaking into the sect, leaving messages and urinating in the square with Lei Luo.
"Friend Zhou, long time no see, how about coming over for a chat?" Sikong Yan’s voice, wrapped in spiritual power, came from afar.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath.
He had the "Emperor’s Brilliance Scripture", tetanus, and the Inscription Level divine technique "Hundred Tribulations Blood Curtain", enough to deal with an average Divinity Transformation Realm Perfection cultivator.
What’s more, Shen Yunzhou was still there, with the ’gross realm’ unleashed, it couldn’t be more disgusting.
"Let’s go together, Lin Jin!" Zhou Qing glanced at Lin Jin and then set off.
At the edge of the Abyss, watching Zhou Qing step through the air, Shen Yunzhou couldn’t help but laugh.
I really thought you left me behind?
"Eh, isn’t that the guy who acts all impressive? He’s here too!"
Soon, Shen Yunzhou saw a figure in white flying upside down and landing on the treetops.
All along, not showing his face.
"What’s with the act?" Shen Yunzhou curled his lip, eyes full of disdain.
And after Zhou Qing landed, he first cupped his fists and saluted Sikong Yan.
After all, no matter how you say it, the other party is of the same generation as Master, and his current identity is just a junior up-and-comer.
After the salute, his eyes involuntarily fell on the girl in the floral dress hiding behind Sikong Yan, his brows knitted tightly, eyes full of complexity.
"Good brother!" Shen Yunzhou then came over with a mischievous smile, standing seemingly casually shoulder to shoulder, but actually vigilantly watching that person in white to prevent a surprise attack.
Sikong Yan then looked Zhou Qing up and down, clicking his tongue.
"The last time we met seemed to be at Spirit Skull Mountain, I heard you returned from the White Jade Taixu Courtyard and stepped into the Divinity Transformation Realm."
"In just a few years, you have reached Mid-stage Divinity Transformation, such progress truly is remarkable!"
Zhou Qing cupped his hands again, speaking humbly: "The Palace Master flatters me, it was just a stroke of luck, a fortunate breakthrough."
Sikong Yan suddenly laughed, saying: "Fortunate? Let me count, starting from the Five Sects battle, you luckily slew five of my sect’s prodigies, dozens of Nascent Souls; luckily exposed and dismantled the Puppet Workshop."
"Luckily topped the deadly ranking; luckily tore through the defense line at Canglan Mountain to rescue people from Taiqing Sect; in just a few years, luckily comprehended the realm, advanced to Divinity Transformation, and incidentally became an Array Master as well."
"The word ’fortunate’ is indeed weighty." Sikong Yan counted one by one with his finger.
Zhou Qing said nothing, while Shen Yunzhou beside him looked at Zhou Qing in astonishment.
It seems I haven’t gathered enough about you!
"Nannan, this is Brother Zhou Qing, he’s a good friend of your dad’s."
Seeing Zhou Qing silent, Sikong Yan suddenly squatted down, gently pushing the timid little girl forward.
Zhou Qing’s pupils contracted sharply.
Nannan?
Could it really be Master Gao Xuan’s daughter?
Before he could react, the little girl had already run forward on her short legs, her bright eyes full of anticipation, excited: "Brother Zhou Qing, do you really know my dad?"
Zhou Qing glanced at Nannan, then at Sikong Yan, unsure of what he was playing at.
But he could only play dumb for now, showing confusion: "Her dad is—"
"You don’t recognize? I remember sending an Imaging Stone to your Taiqing Sect a few months ago, I haven’t received a reply yet."
Sikong Yan said this with a look of regret, then squatted down and pulled Nannan, saying: "Nannan, it seems your dad doesn’t want you anymore."
