Luo Ding Sect, headquarters.
Dao Technique Chamber.
This place was the same as before. Nothing had changed.
There were still huge crowds of disciples queuing up at the square outside. The place was still as lively.
Everyone chatted and bragged as they queued up.
Everyone was talking about the zombie virus that was going to erupt on Mega Planet.
Now, with the efforts of the elders and disciples in the third division, they had resolved this zombie crisis.
However, when discussing the zombie virus, the disciples were especially fearful.
The zombie virus was extremely infectious and fatal. Even immortal cultivators who were immune to all poisons could not resist it. Their fear was inevitable.
They were also curious. Where did this virus come from? Why did it appear on Mega Planet?
All kinds of conspiracy theories emerged.
Qin Chuan listened with great interest.
The people of the Immortal realm were truly imaginative.
Apart from the topic of zombies, they also mentioned Zhu Xiaoming.
Zhu Xiaoming was Qin Chuan.
Ever since the battle of life and death, Qin Chuan had left. There was no more news about him, as though he had vanished into thin air.
Qin Chuan listened attentively.
From these disciples, he learned that after Elder Chen Feng found out that his beloved disciple, Fan Zhibao, had died in that battle. He was especially furious and threatened to avenge his beloved disciple.
Chen Feng was an Immortal King expert with high status. Since he had spoken, it would be very difficult to make him change his mind.
However, Zhu Xiaoming’s performance would allow him to enter the Chosen Roll.
The upper echelons of the sect would definitely not let Chen Feng do that.
After the mediation failed, Chen Feng crushed the elder token and left the sect angrily, announcing his withdrawal from the Luo Ding Sect.
Chen Feng’s departure dealt a heavy blow to the Luo Ding Sect.
Although there were countless cultivators in the Immortal Realm, it was rare for one to cultivate in the Immortal King realm.
The Immortal Kings were all surely prideful when they were young. They all had considerable arrogance.
Killing Chen Feng’s disciple was equivalent to slapping his face. However, Xu Longfei and the others tried persuading him to drop the matter.
But Chen Feng couldn’t agree—he couldn’t take this lying down.
At most, I’m elder of your sect.
Without those restraints, can you still control me?
After Chen Feng left, he even brought many disciples of the Luo Ding Sect with him.
These were basically his disciples.
Anyone who could become an Immortal King’s disciple was quite talented.
Chen Feng’s departure seemed to have brought considerable losses to the Luo Ding Sect.
However, if a disciple on the Chosen Roll were to become an Immortal Emperor in the future, even if ten Immortal Kings were to leave in exchange, the price would still be worth it.
Not long after, Qin Chuan followed the long line to the main hall of the Dao Technique Chamber.
After leaving for so many days, nothing had changed here.
There were still so many people, the voices were still so noisy, and the receptionists were still as good-looking as ever.
Qin Chuan surveyed his surroundings, his gaze stopping at a particular counter for a while. A smile appeared on his face as he walked over.
“Next!”
As usual, Gu Mengyao used her sweetest smile and most professional attitude to serve every disciple who came to the Dao Technique Chamber.
After shouting, Gu Mengyao prepared to receive the next disciple.
When this disciple walked over, Gu Mengyao’s expression changed drastically, and she was stunned.
“Senior Sister Gu, long time no see.” Qin Chuan came to the counter and greeted her with a smile.
Gu Mengyao was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. “Junior… Junior Brother Zhu?”
Qin Chuan laughed. “Haha, seems like Senior Sister Gu still recognizes me. I am very happy.”
“How could I forget a genius like Junior Brother Zhu?
“Speaking of which, you haven’t been here for a long time. I thought you had forgotten about me!” teased Gu Mengyao.
Qin Chuan chuckled. “Aren’t I here now?”
“Which floor are you going to go to? How long are you going to stay?”
“Fifth floor, same as before. A month for now.”
“Alright, hold on.”
Gu Mengyao’s movements were very practiced, and she quickly settled Qin Chuan’s request.
“Junior Brother, keep your identity card well.”
“Senior Sister, I’ll get going then. Talk to you later.”
Qin Chuan put away his identity token and didn’t stay any longer. He turned around and left, heading upstairs without looking back.
Watching Qin Chuan leave, Gu Mengyao couldn’t help but feel a sense of disappointment.
It was noon.
In the staff lounge of the Dao Technique Chamber.
Gu Mengyao and Lu Yiping sat against the wall, juice in their hands.
Gu Mengyao said seriously, “Yiping, I have something to tell you.”
Lu Yiping was stunned. Such an expression was rare, and it wasn’t difficult to guess that it must be something important.
“Speak!”
“Yiping, I saw Junior Brother Zhu this morning.”
“Junior Brother Zhu?”
Lu Yiping was stunned for a moment before asking, “You mean Zhu Xiaoming?”
Gu Mengyao nodded. “Yes, I received him.”
“Yo! Then you can continue your relationship!”
Lu Yiping smiled wickedly and nudged Gu Mengyao with her shoulder.
“What do you mean “continue your relationship’? Don’t spout nonsense!”
Gu Mengyao gripped the fruit juice cup tightly with both hands. There was a hint of red appeared on her delicate face, and her heart raced.
“Look at you, you’re blushing.” Lu Yiping leaned over and said.
“I’m not!” Gu Mengyao’s expression turned solemn. She pressed his hands on the table and took a few gulps of fruit juice.
Lu Yiping waved her hand. “Forget it. I won’t tease you anymore.
“But seriously, Junior Brother Zhu is so outstanding, and he basically meets all your criteria for choosing a partner. You can really consider it.”
Gu Mengyao said in all seriousness, “Being eligible doesn’t mean anything. If there’s no attraction, it doesn’t matter how outstanding one is.”
Lu Yiping rolled her eyes.
Hehe, keep pretending!
As her best friend, Lu Yiping knew Gu Mengyao best.
She was just refusing to admit it.
She’s still a little girl! She’s too embarrassed to admit that she likes someone.
But the person you like is also the person I planned to woo previously.
Heavens, why are you so blind!
Lu Yiping had deduced Zhu Xiaoming’s true identity.
She was 100% sure that this Zhu Xiaoming was Qin Xiaochuan.
When she saw her best friend, whom she hung with day and night, Lu Yiping made a decision.
She chose to back out and fulfill her best friend’s happiness.
I know I still have some feelings for Zhu Xiaoming… no, Qin Xiaochuan.
But, my best friend is a little shy and won’t take the initiative. I have to create some opportunities for them.
Someone like Qin Xiaochuan not only does he have great luck, but he’s also talented and good-looking. He simply fits the fantasies of all girls.
If you don’t take the initiative, he’ll be snatched away sooner or later.
“Mengyao, in two months, the Changping realm’s once-a-decade fireworks festival will begin.
“Why don’t we invite Junior Brother Zhu to go check it out? “suggested Lu Yiping.
“Ah!” Gu Mengyao was shocked. “But we don’t have time, we have to work at the Dao Technique Chamber!”
Lu Yiping said, “You can apply for leave! Anyway, it’s only for a day or two. I’ll talk to the elders about it. Why wouldn’t they approve it?”
“Um…” Gu Mengyao was still hesitating.
“What else are you thinking about? It’s decided!”
“Then… will Junior Brother Zhu agree?” asked Gu Mengyao softly.
“Go ask him about, he’ll probably agree!” said Lu Yiping.
“Me?” asked Gu Mengyao in surprise. “That doesn’t sound good, does it!”
“What’s there to worry about?
“If you don’t dare, I’ll go.” Lu Yiping looked disappointed.
Gu Mengyao thought for a while and said, “Alright! I’ll find a time to talk to him about it.
“But I can’t guarantee that he won’t go. ”
“That’s fine. In any case, I think Junior Brother Zhu will agree.”
Lu Yiping was very confident in her judgment.
