67 Keqin/ Yuqing? (2/2)

Qin Keqin looked up to him as she murmured, \”I don't want to be your master. Why are you so dense? It is just an excuse to get you out of trouble. I too, have liked you since the very start.\”

Lu Qingyun muttered with surprise, \”Keqin has also liked me from the very start…I didn't know…how it is possible…am I dreaming?\”

Qin Keqin looked at him dreamily, \”It isn't a dream. We're finally together…\”

Lu Qingyun held her tightly with his trembling fingers. As long as he could have Keqin by his side, there was no need to question her further. Although he did not know why Qin Keqin had added the starforge substances into the divine pills but he was not bothered at all.

It was because she was the maiden of his heart and that he felt that he had known her for a long time…

Qin Keqin muttered softly as she cast him an anxious look, \”Let's keep our new relationship a secret first. I don't want my two sisters to know as they are great gossipers. And don't let my mother consort knows as well.\”

\”Fairy Jade Light?\” but he quickly replied, \”Alright.\”

Qin Keqin explained sheepishly, \”My mother consort is actually very mean and may not like us to be together. You should get into her good books first, am I right to say so?\”

Lu Qingyun nodded and sighed, \”Yes, I really need to get into Fairy Jade Light's good books…\” He was only a lowly fourth realm cultivator while her daughter was only a seventh realm cultivator. Would she agree to their unison?

Qin Keqin was actually thinking, \”That Fairy Jade Light is a fake. I need to settle her first. In the meantime, I mustn't let her know anything about Qingyun and I or it will be disastrous for me…\”

With that they had walked hand in hand in blissful delight as they headed back to the Heavens Ridge Villa.

Lu Qingyun simply could not believe it that he was actually holding the hand of the maiden of his heart at this moment.

Even Qin Keqin could not believe it as she blissfully thought, \”I have finally broken my ill-fated curse? I hope that this time it will last and not fade…\”

\”Keqin, you really like me? But I am just a lowly cultivator…\”

\”What does liking you to do with your cultivation level?\”

\”Because I may grow old one day while you are young forever…\”

\”That is not a problem right? You just need to cultivate to the fourth realm and you will never grow old. Mm, you seem to have attained to the fourth realm now, am I right?\”

\”Right but I will pass away before you unless I've attained to the fifth realm…\”

\”That is easy enough to reach the fifth realm, right?\”

\”It isn't easy…\”

\”The Seven Hearts Hollow Pill is almost ready. I'm sure that you will be able to attain to the peaked fourth realm or even the fifth realm after you have taken it…\”

\”I don't think so…\”

\”Then I can just make more divine pills to aid you. After all, I am a high level alchemist now…\”

\”Actually...\” There was a long pause from him. He did not want to tell her that her alchemist skills were just so and so hence the long pause.

\”Huh? What is that you're trying to say?\”

\”Nothing…I just want to say that alchemy is too expensive and not worthy of the time. It is better that I cultivate to a solid foundation first…\”

Qin Keqin was quite startled when she had returned to the Heavens Ridge Villa. It was because she had received words from the grand elders that they had attacked the Solitary Manor and was actually quite successful.

Even Lu Qingyun was startled that they were just behind his footsteps.

But the credit had to do with an earlier unknown assailant that had taken down two of the golden celestial elders of the Solitary Manor. No one knew who he was but his actions had caused the morale Solitary Manor to plummet and had even caused Supremacy Wen to flee in the cover of the night.

Qin Keqin was actually quite touched but said nothing, \”They have actually raided the Solitary Manor because of me? Mm, I am beginning to like this place.\”

The news of this raid had also quickly spread like wildfire in New Empyrean City that the Heavens Ridge Villa had actually attacked the Solitary Manor and was even successful. It had suddenly become a hot talking point among the commoners and the dozens of celestial clans.
