Chapter 321: Chapter 148: If You Feel Bad about It, Have a Few Children_3
Already proud and arrogant, he couldn’t swallow the affront he encountered at that moment.
As for Xiao Xiyue, he didn’t dare to offend her, so he immediately shifted all the blame onto Lu Changsheng.
…
“This person’s name is Meng Yibai, the grandson of a False Core Immortal from our sect.”
“It seems he came over upon hearing about my Foundation Establishment in the marketplace, to offer his congratulations.”
Xiao Xiyue watched Meng Yibai leave with an unsightly expression, and to prevent Lu Changsheng from misunderstanding, she explained softly.
“This person must have some pursuit towards Xi Yue.”
“Otherwise, his face wouldn’t look so troubled.”
Lu Changsheng chuckled and said.
He thought it was fortunate that he had disguised himself.
Otherwise, he might have incurred someone’s resentment just because of this.
After all, the trouble brought by beauty is something no one can be certain of.
“Mm.”
Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly in agreement.
Although she practiced the Great Art of Forgetting Emotions, which made her emotions detached,
she was not ignorant of human relationships and worldly affairs.
Naturally, she also knew the other party had such intentions.
“If the disciples of the Qingyun Sect found out that Fairy Xi Yue was pursued and won over by me, wouldn’t I be chased to the ends of the earth?”
Lu Changsheng joked.
He was not jealous because of this.
If Xiao Xiyue had no suitors in the Qingyun Sect, he wouldn’t believe it himself.
Just like in the Nine Dragons Market, Lu Miaoge had many suitors.
But in the end, it was he, Lu, who had more charm and won the beauty’s favor.
“It’s not that exaggerated.”
Upon hearing his words, the corners of Xiao Xiyue’s mouth lifted upwards.
A hint of joy bubbled up in her heart.
Immediately afterward, the two arrived at their cave dwelling rental.
When the caretaker Han saw Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng come,
judging by their appearances and auras, he knew that they had both succeeded in their Foundation Establishment.
One sign was the anomaly of the nature’s spiritual energy vortex earlier, which indicated successful Foundation Establishment.
The other sign was that, if Foundation Establishment failed, even with Foundation Establishment Elixirs, one’s energy would be weak and disordered in the short term.
But Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng had mana that showed no signs of weakness or disorder, deep and profound like an ocean, which made him feel it was unfathomable.
“Congratulations to Xiao Shishu on successful Foundation Establishment, and to this senior on successful Foundation Establishment. May your path to the Great Dao be promising!”
Caretaker Han immediately bowed deeply.
Now that Xiao Xiyue had achieved Foundation Establishment, her status had naturally risen.
Before, he was able to call her “junior sister” due to joining the sect earlier and being older.
Now he naturally had to address her as “Shishu” and refer to Lu Changsheng as “senior.”
“Xiao Shishu, when you were undertaking Foundation Establishment, Immortal Du and Meng Yibai, Meng Shishu, came here and asked about you,”
“Immortal Du, upon knowing you were attempting Foundation Establishment, instructed that no one should disturb you,”
Caretaker Han continued, taking the opportunity to remind her.
Though this matter wasn’t something big,
he felt it was still necessary to inform Xiao Xiyue.
After all, she was not only a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal but had also achieved Foundation Establishment. If she could leave a good impression, it might be beneficial for her future.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyue nodded slightly.
She had already seen Meng Yibai just now.
As for Immortal Du, she knew he was a False Core Immortal presiding over the Qingyun Market.
The fact that he ordered not to disturb her was clearly a show of goodwill.
“Thank you, Brother Han.”
Xiao Xiyue bowed slightly in response.
She naturally knew that in the Qingyun Sect, one’s status greatly increased upon breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
A Qi Refinement disciple must address a Foundation Establishment disciple as “Shishu.”
However, she was not accustomed to such a title yet,
especially since caretaker Han was twenty to thirty years her senior.
“This Fairy Xi Yue and this person seem to have an extraordinary relationship.”
“Not only did they establish their foundations together, but they also stayed in the cave dwelling for so long.”
After Xiao Xiyue and Lu Changsheng left, caretaker Han was inwardly shocked.
He had felt before that the relationship between Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue was not ordinary.
This was why he mentioned not only Immortal Du but also Meng Yibai.
After all, Young Master Meng was not one with a good temper.
If he saw the close relationship between Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, he might cause trouble.
“But what does it have to do with me?”
Caretaker Han shook his head, deciding not to think further.
Having managed affairs for so many years, he knew that there were things one shouldn’t be curious about if it wasn’t necessary.
“Changsheng, that Immortal Du is an elder of our sect. Since I’ve come to the market to break through Foundation Establishment, it’s only right for me to pay a visit in both sentiment and etiquette,”
Xiao Xiyue said to Lu Changsheng.
If she hadn’t known about it, it wouldn’t matter.
But now that she was aware of Immortal Du, and he knew of her visit, it would be inappropriate not to pay a visit.
“Alright, you go ahead. I happen to need to buy some things as well,”
Lu Changsheng smiled and nodded.
Indicating that after he finished his shopping, he would head straight back to Qingzhu Mountain.
“Mm.”
Xiao Xiyue returned to her usual cool demeanor, showing a hint of tenderness.
She then hugged Lu Changsheng somewhat reluctantly.
Meng Yibai, just down from Core Peak, saw this scene. His already unpleasant expression turned as dark as liver, his fists clenched tight, with murderous intent in his eyes.
Before, he had comforted himself, thinking that the two were just friends and therefore somewhat affectionate.
But seeing Xiao Xiyue take the initiative to embrace Lu Changsheng now, to say there was nothing between them would be something not even he could believe.
He walked towards the cave dwelling rentals with an expressionless face.
“It seems I need to be careful with this person,”
Lu Changsheng also noticed the expressionless Meng Yibai and thought to himself.
As a man, he naturally understood men.
He could see that someone like Meng Yibai, who radiated vigorous and sharp energy, must have an extremely proud personality.
Seeing the object of his pursuit intimate with another might lead him to malice simply out of displeasure.
Shortly after, they parted ways, and Lu Changsheng headed toward the Inner City.
He planned to deal with some possessions and buy some materials.
