Cheng Qian gave her a glance and walked up to her “Is your Second shi+xiong in his roo hurriedly nodded her head, “Yes, yes, the Second shi+xiong is…”
Fro not too far away, Li Yun's voice was heard, “Why did you co Qian , he turned toward that building
Shuikeng cried out, “Ah! Third shi+xiong don't go, letto wet my pants!”
She had used this trick soever fell for it any Qian shook his head Aopen from a distance away Li Yun poked his head out and s up yourself afterward”
Shuikeng was practically close to tears, “No! Second shi+xiong, Third shi+xiong, I', I don't want to memorize these troublesome scriptures! You can't treat me like this, ourQian couldn't move his head, so he had to turn his whole body around He sent her a sentle voice, “He wouldn't, Little shi+mei Master had treated us exactly like this back then”
Shuikeng, “…”
Cheng Qian ignored his howling shi+ the door behind himself to keep the noise out When he turned around, he ied stances and spoke in her favor, “She's only six or seven years old, ould you restrict her like that? The char, weren't they? Our master had never locked him in the Mission Hall back then”
Li Yun's room was completely filled with all sorts of torn up paper and messed up books, spiritual herbs and char those words, Li Yun poked his head out of the pile of trash and said, “Haven't you realized? Our sect has no proper cultivation method, but we learned to absorb Qi into our body at around the same time other people do Think about it Back then, our Eldest shi+xiong only ever cared to play around, but he successfully began cultivating in three to four years Why do you think that is?”
Cheng Qian, “It can't have been those scriptures?”
“Don't say that,” Li Yun procured a diagram of the meridians from some corner There were circles and dots on the Qian's head throb just by looking Li Yun said, “I noticed a few days ago, there ht be some kind of clandestine secret in our master's Scriptures of Clarity and Stillness”
Only then did Cheng Qian realize that all these years, he'd been so disrespectful to the ‘Scriptures of Clarity and Stillness which hid clandestine secrets' He immediately asked, “What secret?”
“I don't know yet,” Li Yun said irresponsibly, “It's so that had accumulated in our sect for thousands of years, how could it be so easy to figure out? I s out for now”
Cheng Qian, “…”
When he looked out the , he saw Shuikeng, as s out', with her head lowered dejectedly in the circle of charms, lips pursed as she flipped the book of scriptures in her hand Her figure was as pitiful as it could possibly be
Cheng Qian sighed, “Alright, it's not the first tis out' anyway She won't lose anything just fro those scriptures, but… What about her yao aura?”
Li Yun scratched his hair in frustration “I was about to tell you this She's grown bigger and bigger now, those char If we're going to createfor the past year, but still couldn't find it If it really can't be helped… I'll have to figure out a way for people to search outside the island”
Hearing this, Cheng Qian gave hi Qian reached into his robe, pulled out a se, and placed it on the table The tip of the dry Wupeng Herb peeked out of the wrapping
When Li Yun's eyes fell on the package, he was instantly surprised He grasped the Wupeng Herb in his hands, voice changing with his eredient in y If the island has it, people must've set their eyes on it ever since it first sprouted… Wait”
“Nn, I snatched it away,” Cheng Qian waved it off, “Stop asking All is good as long as it can be used I', he turned around, about to leave, but Li Yun suddenly reached out to grab his shoulder Cheng Qian iroan, the pain fro hi out, “Wait! What happened?”
As Cheng Qian grew in the past few years, his ‘bad habit' in this respect had also beco, he wouldn't discuss it with the others and would take care of things himself in the next few days, so he almost constantly had wounds on his body He would only co even when he was asked It was only because he often relied on Han Yuan to ask around for so and the others could figure out what he was doing, his reasons, and who Qian bit back his pain and htly for Li Yun to see, “Maybe I'd woken on the wrong side of the bed today, plus I'd been tapped with a club for a bit Don't tell the Niangniang, I'd rather not have hi at me…”
It is said that onethe day, and never bad Qian even finished speaking, the door curtain of the inner roo e looked at hi about?”
Cheng Qian, “Ahe didn't see the issue for now He put down the old book in his hand and turned to Li Yun, “What you o back to Fuyao Mountain in the near future I'd gained soht recently, so I wanted to look for confirs in our Library were messy and unsorted, we should be able to find sos inherited in our sect Besides…”
He frowned slightly, “Last year, I saw that Xiao-Yue'er and the others had grown up quite a bit, so I sent the girls back At the time, I'd asked them to deliver a letter back hoon Island doesn't forbid sending and receiving letters There's no wind froht have happened along the way I want to go back hoht not be allowed to leave the island so freely after entering the Lecture Hall” Li Yunor Zheshi+ go back in your stead I heard Xueqing had acquired his energy feel soo? Won't he be able to enter the Library?”
“Not everyone with energy feel can enter the Library Back then, Tong Qian and I had been guided by Master hiet it, we're in no hurry to sort out our sect's cultivation method We'll have plenty of ti send a letter hos out for now”
As they discussed this, Cheng Qian was about to escape without their notice But he had only reached the door when Han Yuan suddenly burst in, al the door in his face
“Aiyo Xiao-Qian what are you doing!” He very openly announced Cheng Qian's location, followed by a very loud exclareat news!”
Yan Zheng look, stepped back with a frown, and raised his hands slightly, “Speak slowly, your spittle is spraying all over h and said, “Charcoal Zhang's been beaten by someone His face ollen like aQian Cheng Qian only coughed drily and pretended to look at the view outside the
Han Yuan continued, “Also, a big boat had coone to look for a bit It seems like that pretty boy na Qian finally dropped his plans of leaving He leaned against the door and stood silently at the sidelines, fingers subconsciously resting on his wooden sword
“Last tiuessing so up on the island this time too,” Han Yuan said confidently, “What do you think it is?”
Each ti, he would always act like he was a storyteller All three of his shi+xiong didn't care to indulge him, so Han Yuan could only smile in ridicule and revealed, “I heard that the Lecture Hall is going to hold a grand competition, in which the victors can enter the inner halls of the Azure Dragon Island's disciples to train”
