Chapter 36 Things Have Changed
A few days later,
Lu Qingyun walked alone on the path of Lingzhi Peak.
"Young master, will you really come back?"
Behind her, Qiuju was almost crying her eyes out.
Although it has only been a little over a year, the feelings between people cannot be measured by time.
She didn't know whether that feeling was seeing Lu Qingyun as family or simply liking him.
But in any case, she regarded Lu Qingyun as a very important person.
But now, it's time to say goodbye.
Lu Qingyun didn't speak, but waved his hand.
Having lived through several lifetimes, his emotions had become relatively weak.
He had long forgotten those feelings of love and romance; in his heart, there was only the path to immortality.
In the Cloud Cliff Spirit Field, he was the only man, but once she left, she would meet the one who was truly worthy of her spending her life with.
Qiuju's sadness today is simply because of habit, the habit of living by his side.
not to mention,
Going to Dade Market is not as safe as going to the sect, so he will not take her with him no matter what.
Lu Qingyun gave her a choice.
Let Elder Chu take care of her, or perhaps she can return to secular life and find a place to live in one of the various properties under the Yunxia Sect.
In the end, Qiuju stubbornly chose to follow Elder Chu, saying she would wait for him to return at the Yunxia Sect.
Lu Qingyun shook his head at this.
He believes that time will change everything.
Yellow leaves covered the ground along the mountain path.
The sect's flying boat will set sail in a long time, heading towards the capital of Great Germany.
Lu Qingyun seemed to be deep in thought.
Even the sacred tree follows the same pattern of autumn harvest and winter dormancy, withering away as the sunlight fades.
Emotions are the same, aren't they?
...
After Lu Qingyun left the spirit field and walked onto the path,
A clear voice came from behind.
"Brother Lu, please wait."
Lu Qingyun didn't need to turn around to know it was Zhang Tianlie.
He was dressed in fine clothes, but his brows betrayed his weariness, and an old servant from the Zhang family was by his side.
Zhang Tianlie waved to the old servant of the Zhang family.
I walked alongside Lu Qingyun for a while, the fallen leaves rustling under our feet.
Lu Qingyun smiled faintly and spoke first:
"Why has Young Master Zhang come to me? Do you know I'm leaving and want to come and make a fool of myself?"
"Brother Lu, although I know you have always held a prejudice against me, I am a true friend to you."
Zhang Tianlie brushed aside the withered vines that drooped to his shoulders, his voice tinged with helplessness, "I'm very sorry about what happened at the spirit field that day."
"I didn't know that Senior Brother Dark-skinned had been possessed by someone from the Demonic Sect, which allowed him to injure Elder Chu. Moreover, I was unable to help with the Cui family's affairs."
"It's enough that you're willing, Young Master Zhang."
Lu Qingyun shook his head, not attributing it to Zhang Tianlie.
"I believe that Elder Chu's matter has nothing to do with Young Master Zhang. After all, we are both losers in this matter."
Lingzhifeng had asked Zhang Tianlie to move out, and he already knew about it.
If the Zhang family were truly the mastermind, why would they shoot themselves in the foot at the most crucial moment in their efforts to win over Lingzhi Peak?
After this incident, Mr. Chu suffered injuries, which may have shortened his lifespan.
The Zhang family's plan to win them over failed, resulting in a substantial financial loss.
He was also relocated to the outer market town, losing his safe life in the spirit fields.
It can be said that no one is a winner.
Even Zhao Qingxuan, who seemed to have nothing to do with it, gained nothing from it.
Because Lingzhi Peak, which was originally close to the Zhao family, completely announced that it would not interfere in the affairs of the Zhang and Zhao families, the Zhao family lost a potential ally.
As for the Zhang family deliberately helping the Demonic Sect to plot against Elder Chu and weaken the Yunxia Sect?
Lu Qingyun shook his head.
That's even more impossible.
The Zhang family's current status is due to their years of accumulated and deeply rooted influence in Danfeng, where they control 30% of the pill business under the Yunxia Sect.
If we're talking about the Zhao family betraying the Yunxia Sect, the possibility is much greater than that of the Zhang family.
"Thank you for your comfort, Brother Lu."
Zhang Tianlie gave a wry smile.
"Just as Brother Lu said, it's not just you; I was also expelled from Spirit Plant Peak. When I go back this time, I'm afraid I'll inevitably be blamed by my father and brothers."
"but..."
Zhang Tianlie looked up at the distant sky where layers of clouds were churning, and the outline of a huge flying ship could be vaguely seen there.
His expression was firm, and his gaze confident as he said:
"A temporary setback is not important. In the future, I will make that demonic sect villain pay the price."
"By then, I will also make Brother Lu truly willing to follow me."
As the eldest son of a prominent family, and vying for the position of head of the Zhang family, he needs a trusted advisor by his side.
Over the years, he has come to realize that Lu Qingyun is a man of few words and trustworthy, but he is too fond of hiding himself and protecting himself.
But Zhang Tianlie believed that once he offered a sufficient price, he would surely be able to persuade Lu Qingyun to follow him willingly.
At that time, he could promise Lu Qingyun all the wealth and glory he desired, and grant him a position of power second only to himself.
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang. If fate allows, we shall meet again someday."
Lu Qingyun smiled at Zhang Tianlie.
I was neither moved nor rejected.
In the distance, the Zhang family's enormous flying boat slowly landed, swirling up a shower of fallen leaves.
Watching Zhang Tianlie leave, Lu Qingyun remained calm.
Within the Yunxia Sect, Zhang Tianlie is indeed an extraordinary person.
As the eldest son of a prestigious family, he not only lacks those arrogant and haughty traits, but is also quite adorable.
Over these days, he could see Zhang Tianlie's sincerity.
Despite having many options at his disposal, he remained restrained and persisted in using his words and actions to persuade him to follow him willingly.
However, from beginning to end,
What he wanted was neither wealth nor fame, nor to become a big shot in the Yunxia Sect.
All the previous heads of the Zhang family had only reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage.
Zhang Tianlie could never give him what he wanted.
Moreover, he was already tired of that feeling of being constrained and never intended to follow anyone.
Lu Qingyun turned around and walked down the mountain alone in the opposite direction from the flying boat.
After walking a few more steps, a sorrowful voice came from behind.
"Junior brother, take good care of yourself on your journey to Dade."
Lu Qingyun turned around. Zhao Qingxuan's beauty was still breathtaking. Her skin was as white as snow, and her long blue dress fluttered in the wind. However, there seemed to be a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Zhao Qingxuan didn't try to stop him or try to recruit him into the Zhao family. She watched Zhang Tianlie talk to him without interrupting.
It seemed to be just to say goodbye to him.
Many people learned of his passing today.
Lu Qingyun felt somewhat helpless.
Initially, he planned to leave directly without even informing Chen Xiru and the young marquis.
However, for the direct descendants of these aristocratic families within the sect, finding out his whereabouts was as easy as drinking water.
"Speaking of which, I should apologize to my senior sister."
Lu Qingyun blinked, cupped his hands, and smiled.
"After all, I promised my senior sister that I would help her use her cultivation technique to neutralize the medicinal properties of the spiritual medicine, but now Qingyun is about to leave for Dade."
Back when he was oppressed by the black-robed deacon.
Zhao Qingxuan gave him that piece of golden spirit wood.
This allowed him to successfully tame the Golden Spirit Bee, giving him the ability to protect himself in front of Young Master Cui.
He will always remember this friendship.
"I'm glad that you don't blame me for not helping you these past few days."
Zhao Qingxuan smiled and thought of what Zayifeng had casually said back then.
Then, with a complicated look in her eyes, she looked at Lu Qingyun apologetically.
"It's not that my senior sister is unwilling to help, but a few days ago, her family told her not to interfere in your affairs with the Cui family, as if she was trying to win over the Cui family."
"Therefore, I was confined to the sacred field."
"It's alright, senior sister."
Lu Qingyun remained calm: "I know your feelings, that's enough."
"Unfortunately, my father and brother have probably wasted their efforts."
Zhao Qingxuan paused, then sighed, "The Cui family and the Zhang family have been on good terms for many years. How can they be won over simply by marrying Minglan into their family?"
"My family is no longer what it once was!"
"That Miss Minglan was actually married off to the youngest member of the Cui family?"
Lu Qingyun's mind stirred slightly.
I remember that bright and lively girl in pale yellow back in the miscellaneous servants' quarters.
Only then did he realize why she was nowhere to be found on Lingzhi Peak.
At that time, Zhao Qingxuan wanted to entrust her to him.
Now, however, everything has changed.
