“I wonder what business does Senior have at my Bi Lake Mountain?”
The Lu Family disciples and cultivators stationed at the mountain gate immediately cupped their hands in salute upon seeing the woman.
Although their Bi Lake Mountain was a False Core Family, they still held Foundation Establishment cultivators in high regard.
After all, no matter where, Foundation Establishment cultivators are like an elder; it's best not to offend them if you can avoid it.
Besides, they were only Energy Refining cultivators, so they felt instinctive reverence before a Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
“May I ask if Lu Ping'an is at home?”
The woman in black spoke out.
After speaking, she added, “I have an affair to discuss with him.”
“Hmm?”
Upon hearing this, the two Lu Family disciples exchanged glances, saying, “Does Senior have a token?”
Currently, Lu Ping'an was akin to an ancestral figure on Bi Lake Mountain; even if they knew his whereabouts, they wouldn't disclose them.
After all, letting others know that their ancestor was out was an extremely risky matter.
“A token?”
The woman in black was startled and said, “You can notify him, just say that his friend Qin Yi has come to visit.”
“A friend? Please wait, Senior, I will go and notify you.”
One of them spoke, heading off to inform the Family Head, Lu Xingyang.
“Qin Yi? Does my brother have such a friend?”
Lu Xingyang, busy handling affairs, frowned slightly as he pondered upon hearing this.
Then he went to consult Lu Yun.
“Qin Yi?”
Lu Yun shook his head, indicating he had never heard of this name.
He paused his refinement of the ‘Dragon Blood Tree' and went to the mountain gate, saying, “This Senior, my brother is currently in closed-door cultivation. Do you have any tokens? Otherwise, previously my brother instructed that he not be disturbed unless there is an urgent matter.”
Qin Yi knew this was the excuse used for refusing guests.
She hesitated and said, “Is Lu Mingyue in the family? She should know me?”
“Lu Mingyue?”
Lu Yun was baffled, carefully recalling if there was such a person in the family.
In his impression, there wasn't such a name.
But there were indeed many siblings in his family, perhaps he had forgotten.
After pondering for a moment and confirming there was no such person, he said, “Is Senior mistaken? We do not have a ‘Lu Mingyue' in our family.”
“No!?”
Qin Yi frowned slightly.
The letters she received constantly praised a sister named Mingyue, almost to a ridiculous extent.
And Qin Yi also realized that the letters she received were not from Lu Ping'an, but from the girl named Lu Mingyue.
“Could she be using an alias?”
Qin Yi speculated in her heart immediately.
After all, judging by the letters, this person was quite unreliable.
“Mingyue might be a nickname she uses, claiming to be Lu Ping'an's sister. Do you have someone like that in your family?”
Qin Yi spoke out.
Even though she had quite a few letters in her possession.
But the content of these letters wasn't too embarrassing; even if it wasn't the person herself, it couldn't serve as a token.
“Nickname?”
Lu Yun contemplated upon hearing this and suddenly thought of his sister Lu Wangshu's small courtyard, named Mingyue Residence.
If the woman before him was a Foundation Establishment cultivator and came seeking his elder brother, also recognizing Wangshu, it made some sense.
But the problem is that Lu Wangshu is currently not at home either.
Otherwise, going to Bi Shui Lake might lead to this sister.
“It seems we have someone like that, but coincidentally, she is not in the family right now.”
Lu Yun said politely, “If Senior could leave contact information, once my brother exits seclusion, or when Mingyue returns, I will inform them?”
“Alternatively, Senior could stay at our Bi Lake Mountain for a few days.”
Having served as Family Head for many years, he had developed some skill in recognizing people.
Judging by speech and expressions, he felt the other person was not like a deceitful loose cultivator and could indeed be an acquaintance of his elder brother.
“Alright.”
Qin Yi nodded, understanding that in the Cultivation World, it was very cumbersome to meet someone.
Especially since Lu Ping'an had already become the Lu Family Ancestor, it was even more unlikely he would meet guests easily.
After Lu Yun invited Qin Yi to stay at Bi Yun Villa reserved for guest reception, he also instructed Lu Xingyang to send someone to White Tiger Mountain to inform his elder brother.
…
White Tiger Mountain.
After practicing fists with his sister Lu Linghe, Lu Ping'an returned home for a meal.
Ordinary cultivators might often fast.
But Body Refining cultivators, often eat more than ordinary people, requiring demon beast meat for every meal.
“Brother, Xingyang has sent a message saying a woman named ‘Qin Yi' claims to be your friend, seeking you. Do you know her?”
Seeing his elder brother feasting, Lu Qingsong said casually.
“Qin Yi?”
Lu Ping'an's expression froze upon hearing the name, and he asked again, “Who did you say?”
Seeing this, Lu Qingsong immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to his elder brother.
“Why did she come…”
Upon seeing the black-clothed woman in the jade slip, Lu Ping'an's tall and robust figure grew stiff.
“You know her?”
Lu Qingsong had never seen his elder brother like this and asked aloud.
“I know her.”
After a brief silence, Lu Ping'an spoke softly, not expecting her to come to Bi Lake Mountain looking for him.
Yet she was truly daring and sincere, straightforward in her character.
In his youth, she embarked alone to travel far, seeking the Heavenly Sword Sect to become what she called a Great Sword Immortal.
Previously, during the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, she had also directly called out to him.
Yet he… was timid and dawdling.
“Eh, Big Pot, who is it.”
Lu Linghe, who was munching on her food with oil all over her mouth, asked curiously.
“An old acquaintance.”
Lu Ping'an softly replied.
At this moment, both Lu Qingsong and Lu Linghe noticed something was amiss in their elder brother's expression.
“Is it someone Big Pot likes?”
Lu Linghe with clear big eyes looked at her elder brother and asked aloud.
“?”
Seeing his elder brother silent and speechless, Lu Qingsong was surprised and suspicious, feeling his sister might have guessed right.
Could such a person as his elder brother feel this way about romantic feelings?
At this moment, a hint of gossip sprouted in his heart.
“Sister once said if someone likes another, they'll become dull. Big Pot looks dazed now.”
Lu Linghe, as though oblivious to her elder brother's expression, took another bite of meat and mumbled.
“Is Brother going to see this Miss Qin?”
Lu Qingsong, upon watching his silent elder brother, asked cautiously.
After a long silence, Lu Ping'an said softly, “Yes, I will go to Bi Lake Mountain.”
In the past, he could pretend not to know or not to think about it.
But since she had come to Bi Lake Mountain, he could no longer act as though he didn't know.
“Big Pot, I also want to go, I want to meet this sister!”
Lu Linghe, with no sense of propriety, exclaimed crisply.
“Alright, first finish eating.”
Lu Ping'an lovingly rubbed his sister's bun hairstyle, speaking gently, wondering how to face her.
Miss Qin, long time no see?
“Ah.”
He sighed inwardly.
