“Senior, are you there?”
Long Zhan stood outside the courtyard and raised his voice.
However, no one responded.
“Senior?”
Long Zhan frowned.
Still, no one responded.
Immediately, Long Zhan had a bad premonition.
Long Zhan wondered if Qin Jue had left.
However, he quickly realized that was impossible. After all, he had already arranged for more than ten Great Sage Stage experts to monitor the place Qin Jue lived at. How could Qin Jue be able to leave without alerting anyone?
Just as Long Zhan was about to rush in to investigate, Qin Jue's lazy voice suddenly sounded. “What's the matter?”
Long Zhan was stunned for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief. Looks like he was thinking too much.
“Senior, I just received news that Her Highness the Divine Maiden will be back in ten days, so I specially came to inform you.”
“Ten days?”
In the pavilion, Qin Jue thought for a moment and said, “Alright, I understand. Thank you.”
With that said, Qin Jue ignored Long Zhan and took out a pot of spirit wine to drink.
Originally, Qin Jue didn't plan to wait for Long Xiaoyu at all, but because of Long Zhui, he needed to stay for a few more days and wasn't in a hurry to leave.
On the other hand, Long Zhan was rather depressed. He didn't expect that from beginning to end, Qin Jue had no intention of letting him in. He could only slowly retreat.
However, after retreating out of the courtyard, a black figure immediately appeared beside him and said, “Elder!”
“Did you find anything?”
Long Zhan asked.
“No.”
The black figure shook his head and said, “From yesterday until now, that human has not taken half a step out of the courtyard.”
“Continue monitoring. Inform me immediately if anything happens.”
Long Zhan instructed.
“Yes!”
The black figure distorted slightly and gradually disappeared.
After a long silence, Long Zhan muttered to himself, “Strange, could it be that Her Highness the Divine Maiden really has a human friend?”
Even though he personally saw the identity jade tablet in Qin Jue's hand, Long Zhan was still full of doubts and unwilling to believe it.
This time, he only told Qin Jue that Long Xiaoyu was returning in ten days to test Qin Jue's reaction.
If Qin Jue had lied about being Long Xiaoyu's friend, Long Zhan believed that Qin Jue would definitely be afraid after hearing the news of Long Xiaoyu's return. Long Zhan thought that Qin Jue might even flee through the night to avoid being exposed on the spot and dying without a grave.
But Qin Jue's tone did not sound panicked at all. It was as if he had heard something insignificant.
Even if he didn't see Qin Jue's expression, Long Zhan could tell that he was definitely very indifferent.
“We can only wait for Her Highness the Divine Maiden to return.”
Long Zhan sighed.
To a Great Void Stage expert like him, ten days would pass in the blink of an eye. Most importantly, Long Zhan didn't know what Qin Jue's cultivation was, so there was no need for him to take any unnecessary risk.
In the next few days, Qin Jue stayed in the courtyard and didn't go out. He either slept or drank wine. Occasionally, he would catch a few fish and small beasts to roast. He felt relaxed and content living here, making him almost not want to leave.
In the meantime, Qin Jue had also been using his spirit sense to pay attention to Long Zhui.
It had to be said that Long Zhui was very cautious. He didn't even tell Long Ming about his meeting with Qin Jue and continued to pretend that he was severely injured to prevent anyone from detecting anything amiss.
After a few days of adaptation, Long Zhui's blood qi had finally reached its peak. He seemed to be able to control the spirit qi of the world with his every move.
If not for the fact that he was unwilling to expose himself, Long Zhui really wanted to run to the Elders Guild to test what level his bloodline had reached.
Unknowingly, ten days passed quickly. During this time, Qin Jue went to find Long Zhui and directly helped him advance from the late-phase to the peak of the Grand Saint Stage. After that, Long Zhui was so happy that he danced with joy and almost couldn't help but hug and kiss him.
On this day, Qin Jue woke up and found that Yun Xi had actually fallen asleep on his body. This little fellow had been cultivating diligently recently. He didn't expect that she would run over and pester him as soon as her cultivation ended.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Qin Jue put Yun Xi aside and then stood up to leave.
As usual, the spirit qi in the courtyard was ethereal, making it feel like a paradise. In these ten days, Qin Jue had already explored the entire place and lost interest.
“Ha, I'll eat something first.”
Stretching lazily, Qin Jue focused his attention on a rabbit in the distant forest.
Just as he had said before, there were mountains and rivers in this courtyard, so there was naturally no lack of animals. Moreover, these weren't ordinary animals. Any small rabbit here had the strength that was comparable to an Earth Stage fiend beast.
Not long after, the cute rabbit was skinned and pulled out by Qin Jue. He roasted it on the fire, emitting an enticing fragrance.
Unfortunately, before Qin Jue could taste it, Long Zhan's voice suddenly sounded from outside. “Senior, are you there?”
“What is it?” Qin Jue said impatiently.
“Her Highness the Divine Maiden has returned.”
Qin Jue was stunned. Thinking about it, it had indeed been ten days. Therefore, his figure flashed and he appeared in front of Long Zhan with the roasted rabbit.
“Let's go.”
Qin Jue tore off a piece of rabbit meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Since she was back, there was no harm in meeting her.
Long Zhan was dumbfounded. He looked at the roasted meat in Qin Jue's hand and then looked at Qin Jue. “This is…”
“Oh, I caught a rabbit from inside. Why? Do you want to eat it too?” Qin Jue said casually.
Long Zhan was perplexed.
The corner of his eyes twitched slightly. If he didn't remember wrongly, there were indeed many rabbits in this courtyard, but weren't they meant for admiring?
He couldn't believe that Qin Jue had roasted one and was currently eating it.
Long Zhan wondered if he was seeing things correctly.
“Cough cough, Senior, please follow me.”
Long Zhan forced a smile and lowered his head.
No matter what, Long Zhan was still a Great Void Stage expert. There was no way he would eat the rabbits that were meant for admiring.
Qin Jue didn't care about this and continued to eat his roasted meat.
Under Long Zhan's lead, the two of them quickly landed on a stone platform. This was a high-level teleportation array formation that could help them cross millions of kilometers in an instant.
Because the White Dragon World was too huge, even a Great Void Stage expert would need a long time to travel around. Therefore, teleportation array formations were set up everywhere to shorten time needed to travel long distances.
The area Qin Jue was currently in belonged to the border area of the White Dragon World. In other words, the two of them had to take several teleportation arrays before they could get to where Long Xiaoyu was.
After all, Long Xiaoyu was the Divine Maiden of the White Dragon Race, so she naturally lived in the core area of the White Dragon World.
“There's no need to go through so much trouble.”
Qin Jue spread out his spirit sense and quickly captured Long Xiaoyu's aura and exact location. Then he grabbed Long Zhan and directly disappeared from his original spot.
When Long Zhan regained his consciousness, he felt his legs go weak and almost knelt on the ground.
For a moment, he forgot who he was and where he was.
He was puzzled.
Long Zhan opened his eyes in confusion, not knowing what to do.
“Mm? Who are you guys?”
A voice filled with endless dignity suddenly exploded in Long Zhan's ears. The pitiful Long Zhan had yet to react to what was going on when his vision darkened and he fainted.
Qin Jue :”…”
Qin Jue was confused as to why Long Zhan fainted.
Speechless, Qin Jue looked up at the person who had just spoken. He was a handsome and refined middle-aged man. His figure was tall and straight, deep and vast. Just by standing there, he gave off an unparalleled feeling.
The last time Qin Jue encountered such a situation was when he met Long Zhen.
However, Long Zhen had the aura of a main character, but the man in front of him did not.
“Eh? Senior, you're here!”
