Chapter 500: Guessing Identities, the Valley Remains Unchanged
"Chen Shijie, Xiao Yan Shimei, are you leaving?"
Mu Tian and the others heard the siblings' conversation and asked.
"Yes, Xiao Yan Shimei has been out training for quite some time. It's time for her to return and consolidate her progress. Where are you headed? I can give you a ride", Lu Qing nodded, saying.
In truth, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Xianiu, he would have taken Xiao Yan Shimei away from that small town much earlier.
"Sending us back to Linzhou is enough, Chen Shijie."
Mu Tian and the others, though reluctant, didn't dare to ask them to stay.
Lu Qing's cultivation was far beyond their imagination. Even a Jindan True Person could be easily slain by him.
Such a being always spoke with absolute authority.
They were merely lowly Xiantian Realm cultivators and dared not overstep their bounds.
"Only to Linzhou?" Lu Qing was a bit surprised.
From the message Xiao Yan Shimei had once transmitted to him via a jade token, he knew that these few people were not from the Northern Frontier. They had come here merely for a tour.
"That's enough. We still have training missions from our sect that we haven't completed, so we need to stay in the Northern Frontier for a while longer", Mu Tian quickly replied.
"In that case, I'll send you back first."
Lu Qing nodded, and with a slight movement of his mind, the flying boat transformed into a streak of light, shooting into the sky and quickly disappearing.
When they arrived at Linzhou, Lu Qing landed the flying boat, and Mu Tian and the others got off.
"Thank you, Chen Shijie."
The group bowed respectfully to Lu Qing.
"It's nothing. Farewell, then", Lu Qing smiled.
"Mu Shixiong, Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Wu, Qin Shijie, goodbye!" Xiao Yan Shimei waved to them.
"Goodbye, Xiao Yan Shimei."
Mu Tian and the others returned the farewell.
Zhao Feng wanted to say more but ultimately couldn't bring himself to speak.
The next moment, the flying boat had already transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sky.
Zhao Feng stood there, staring at the direction the flying boat had gone, his expression dazed.
The other three exchanged glances, and finally, Mu Tian stepped forward, patting his shoulder.
"Don't think about it. Xiao Yan Shimei's background is too formidable, far beyond what we, as inner disciples of our sect, can achieve."
"I know", Zhao Feng said, a bitter smile on his face.
Forget about Xiao Yan Shimei's identity; just her cultivation alone was far beyond his reach.
At the Zhuji Da Cheng stage, she had even mastered the mysterious Feijian technique, capable of easily slaying cultivators of the same level.
Such strength and depth even surpassed his own master.
In his sect, she would be one of the top figures, second only to the sect leader, who was at the Core Formation Realm.
Thinking of all this, Zhao Feng's heart grew even more bitter.
Seeing his expression, Mu Tian didn't know what to say, so he patted his shoulder again.
On the side, Wu Wenyuan and Qin Wushe started discussing.
"Do you think this Chen Shijie is the one they say?"
"I think it must be. Who else could have such power and still be so young?"
"I didn't expect Xiao Yan Shimei to be his sister. It's said that when he traveled the world, he had a little girl with him. Could that have been Xiao Yan Shimei?"
"Yes, we should have realized it earlier! It's said that when he traveled, he had a spirit lynx and a spirit snake with him, just like Xiao Yan Shimei's companions!"
"We can't blame ourselves. After he became famous, many people started keeping spirit lynxes and spirit snakes as pets."
"What are you two talking about?" Mu Tian, hearing their discussion, couldn't help but ask.
"We were discussing whether Chen Shijie might be the ‘Supreme Venerable’ who is said to be cultivating in seclusion on Holy Mountain", Qin Wushe replied.
"What! Why would you think that..."
Mu Tian was startled, but he quickly fell into a daze.
The legends about that person, recorded in the sect’s archives, flashed through his mind.
And then there were the incredible, almost unimaginable abilities displayed by Xiao Yan’s brother since he had met him.
Suddenly, it was as if a bolt of lightning struck his mind.
Many things became clear to him all at once.
"It really could be that person. No, in this world, who else could treat a Core Formation Realm True Person like nothing and easily slay them!"
Mu Tian exclaimed, his realization dawning.
It wasn’t that he was slow to react; it was just that he never imagined he would ever have any connection with that person.
After all, that person was universally recognized as the strongest in the world.
Ten years ago, he had personally and effortlessly killed a Core Formation Realm True Person in front of countless people.
Such a feat made even the top sects and several secret places fear and revere him as an unparalleled existence!
"No wonder Xiao Yan Shimei is so young yet already a Zhuji Da Cheng realm cultivator. If she is that person’s sister, it all makes sense", Mu Tian said, enlightened.
"Xiao Yan Shimei is actually that person’s sister..."
Zhao Feng, who had been in a daze, murmured to himself as he listened to the conversation.
...
"Xiao Yan, what do you think of your friends?"
On the golden flying boat, Lu Qing asked.
"Big Brother Mu and Sister Qin? They’re all very nice", Xiao Yan replied without hesitation.
"What about Zhao Feng?" Lu Qing continued.
"Master Brother Zhao?" Xiao Yan tilted her head, thinking for a moment. "Master Brother Zhao seems to be rather quiet and reserved. I don’t talk to him much, so he’s a bit of a loner."
Seeing the innocence on Xiao Yan’s face, Lu Qing suddenly laughed, realizing his worries were unfounded.
The little girl was still naive, and those matters were still far from her.
With his cultivation now even stronger, Lu Qing could control the golden flying boat at incredible speeds.
Even traveling from the northern border back to Cangzhou would not take long.
However, after returning to Chang County, Lu Qing did not immediately head back to Jiulicun. Instead, he took Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to the valley where the Yuhua Cave Chamber was located in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
"Brother, weren’t we supposed to go back to the village? Why are we coming to the Yuhua Cave Chamber first?"
Xiao Yan asked, a bit puzzled as they disembarked from the flying boat.
Over the past ten years, Lu Qing had already told her and her master about the location of the Yuhua Cave Chamber.
Sometimes, when she needed to break through a bottleneck, Xiao Yan would bring Xiao Li and the others here to cultivate for a while, so she was very familiar with the place.
"We don’t need to rush back to the village. We have some other matters to attend to first."
Lu Qing looked around the valley, which he hadn’t visited for several years.
The changes in the valley were not significant, except that the spiritual energy was even more abundant than before.
He first went to Li Weitian’s grave to pay his respects, then turned to look at Xiao Li and Wu Xing.
Xiao Li and Wu Xing couldn’t help but tremble.
They sensed a serious tone in Lu Qing’s gaze.
"Xiao Li, Wu Xing, you’ve been at the Zhuji Da Cheng realm for quite some time. Have you felt any signs of a breakthrough recently?"
As expected, Lu Qing’s question made them shudder.
