Bai Hua Palace.
It was like Gu Qing Shan never left at all.
As he looked, the scene that was on Bai Hua Mirror before is still playing out.
Peacock Beast Saint recovered each and every Beast Saint corpses, together with Blade Emperor’s corpse and flew towards humanity’s frontline.
On the ten thousand flower throne, Bai Hua Fairy Xie Dao Ling said: “Gong Sun Zhi’s wounds are quite serious, my incarnation is dealing with it, she’ll return shortly”
“Thank you Shifu” Gu Qing Shan said.
Suddenly Bai Hua Fairy stopped for a bit, then ordered: “Let him in”
Just a few moments later, Leng Tian Xing staggered into Bai Hua Palace.
As he saw Gu Qing Shan, he looked at Gu Qing Shan shook his head.
Bai Hua Fairy spoke: “Of all the items you found, there’s only one that fit my requirements”
Leng Tian Xing clasped his hand and bow dejectedly: “Yes”
But Bai Hua Fairy then smiled, and spoke: “However, my disciple said that you and him were quite closed, and begged me to help you, so I’ll consider you to have barely passed”
Disciple?
Leng Tian Xing looked around, only to see that aside from himself, there’s only Gu Qing Shan in this place.
———he became Bai Hua Fairy’s disciple?
Leng Tian Xing was extremely shaken.
One of the three Saints, Bai Hua Fairy herself, has decided to accept a disciple today!
If this were to get out, it would rock the entire world of cultivation.
He could easily guess, within the next few years, the amount of people that’ll come to Bai Hua Immortal country to attempt Bai Hua lists will become even more numerous.
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Bai Hua Fairy, seeing her nodded, he knew that this was her giving him a chance to expand his circle.
Gu Qing Shan tapped Leng Tian Xing on his shoulder, saying: “Why don’t you hurry and say your request?”
Leng Tian Xing finally regained his senses, looked at Gu Qing Shan in gratitude and hurriedly made his request.
Bai Hua Fairy ordered him to take off his clothes, so she can take a look at that demon spider herself.
“A rare species indeed” Bai Hua Fairy waved her hand at the demon spider: “Come out”
The demon spider jumped out from Leng Tian Xing’s chest without any hesitation, quickly arrived right below the ten thousand flowers throne and sat down on the spot.
“Break your link with him, go get a badge from Thousand Poison Temple, from now on you can cultivate yourself there” Bai Hua Fairy thought and said.
The demon spider bowed his head over and over, then retreated from Bai Hua Palace.
As soon as the demon spider left, Leng Tian Xing’s whole body shook as the excess spirit energy filled his body, raising his spirit pressure immense, finally stopping at Golden Core mid stage.
His cultivation finally isn’t held back anymore and has fully returned.
“Thank you Saint” Leng Tian Xing exclaimed in joy.
“Hm, you can go out from the main gate of the palace, Gong Sun Zhi is waiting for you there” Bai Hua Fairy said.
“General Sun Zhi is? Understood”
Leng Tian Xing was a bit happy, but at the same time confused.
He quickly excused himself and left.
As he left, he took out a communication talisman and gave it to Gu Qing Shan.
Using this, Gu Qing Shan is able to reach him at any time.
After Leng Tian Xing left, Bai Hua Fairy told him: “I’ve saved Gong Sun Zhi, and my incarnation at the frontline has told them everything, your contributions this time isn’t small, so I believe your ranking will increase by at least one rank”
“Thank you Shifu” Gu Qing Shan said.
As he glanced at the War God UI, he found the Quest displayed as “Finished”.
But since right now isn’t a suitable time to check on it, Gu Qing Shan only let loose his tense spirit and temporary paid no attention to it.
Bai Hua Fairy smiled in a strange manner, then said: “There’s still one other person, you can go in place of teacher and escort them to meet up with Gong Sun Zhi”
“Who?” Gu Qing Shan asked back in surprised.
Bai Hua Fairy looked at him like she was looking at an idiot and answered: “I’ve told her to wait at Sky Hall, you’ll know when you see her”
“Go” Bai Hua Fairy swung her sleeve.
Stupid disciple, teacher can only help you so much.
Bai Hua Fairy sat on her throne and silently thought.
As Gu Qing Shan walked towards the Sky Hall, it wasn’t until halfway that he was able to react.
Since Gong Sun Zhi is at the main gate, then the other person would of course be Ning Yue Xi.
Strange, so the two of them were treated separately?
Ning Yue Xi is a female cultivator, so the wounds on her body mustn’t be seen by outsiders, since Bai Hua Fairy brought her to Sky Hall to treat her, that must have been the reason.
Yup, that must be it, as expected, Shifu wouldn’t do things without a reason.
Gu Qing Shan thought to himself.
As he got to Sky Hall, sure enough, he saw the familiar figure.
A white mask, a snow-white long Blade, slender golden armor that closely covered her body, as well as accentuate it.
Before she even reveals her face, her first-rate beauty could already be seen from her figure.
“How are your wounds?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“The Saint has treated them for me, together with my old wounds as well”
“That’s great to hear, General Sun Zhi is waiting for you at the main gate”
“Be my guide, we’ll leave together”
The two of them walked side by side.
On the long jade road of the palace, there was a light smell of flowers, as well as the gentle breeze of the wind, but no one to be seen.
Ning Yue Xi looked at Gu Qing Shan, settled her tone then said: “This time I owe you for saving my life”
Gu Qing Shan dismissively waved his hand: “No need to be so formal, you and I met on the verge of life and death, don’t mention it” (1)
On the verge of life and death huh, Ning Yue Xi repeated that in her mind, then glanced at the sword on Gu Qing Shan’s waist.
Gu Qing Shan’s heart sank, blunder, how could he have forgotten to stow the Earth sword away.
Sure enough, right after, Ning Yue Xi asked: “This sword ——-“
Gu Qing Shan already cut off her words: “The Saint gifted it to me”
Since it was a gift from the Saint, as a qi training realm cultivator, Gu Qing Shan of course would not dare to refuse.
Not to mention, the Saint has just saved you, healed your wounds and dealt with all the demons by herself.
Would you dare to say something to disgrace the Saint’s reputation right now?
This line of thought was extremely easy to arrive at, enough so that Ning Yue Xi could only hesitate for a bit before silently accepting.
She spoke with a low voice: “If you’re able to not learn the sword, then try not to learn it, ok?”
Gu Qing Shan took that time to nod his head.
Don’t joke, this is a peak Rejuvenation realm cultivator, with Gu Qing Shan’s current cultivation, he simply can’t beat her.
And he doesn’t want to have to grovel on the ground and beg for forgiveness.
Ning Yue Xi then said: “After I leave, you have to work hard, learn some real skills from the Saint, otherwise you’ll get trouble everywhere because of your low cultivation”
“I know” Gu Qing Shan said.
“Remember, I forbid you from learning the sword” Ning Yue Xi said again.
“Of course” Gu Qing Shan said with confidence.
Ning Yue Xi calmly looked at him, then took off her mask to reveal her stunning beauty.
She said: “Later, if you have the time, come visit Heaven’s Limit Sect, just tell them my name”
Gu Qing Shan didn’t think too much of it and only replied with the flow: “Sure”
As she heard him said “sure”, Ning Yue Xi suddenly felt her face flushed, then quickly put on her face.
———–luckily she made it in time, otherwise when her face flushed, he would definitely have noticed.
“Hoh! Could that have been a bit too unnatural?” she silently thought.
It was only now that Gu Qing Shan was able to react in time.
Ah?
Did I just get hit on!?
But time doesn’t go backwards, and so Ning Yue Xi had already quickened her pace and continued walking.
“Hah! This disciple of mine! Why did he have to chicken out at such a crucial time!”
At the same time, in Bai Hua Palace, Bai Hua Fairy slapped her ten thousand flowers throne as she complained full of regret.
Note:
(1) meeting on the verge of life and death: I’m not sure how to translate this properly, but it basically means “a friendship forged from going through life and death situations together”. What he’s basically saying is they’re comrades, no need to explicitly say it every time they save each other’s lives.
