Villain: I am not good at fighting.

"Master, I don't..."

"Alright, Little Twelve, the master and the sect leader will have their say on this matter."

Lin Luo interrupted Liu Muqing and secretly sent a message to comfort her.

"Agree first, and delay as long as possible. Wait until your master advances to the Nascent Soul stage, and then mediate."

Is it really?

Liu Muqing knew that her master meant well, so she lowered her head to avoid Lin Luo's gaze. Her eyes were red as if she was aggrieved, but her heart was actually cold.

At this moment, she saw through many things. Lin Luo's advancement to the Nascent Soul stage and his retreat to consolidate his realm would take at least ten years, and the window period was too long.

If anything happens during this period, no amount of mediation by Lin Luo will be of any avail.

Cultivating immortals is a competition of interests. In order to obtain more resources for cultivation, people will use any means, whether good or evil, to achieve their goals.

After all, it is because my own strength is too weak, so weak that I don’t even have the qualifications for equal communication.

As Liu Muqing raised her head, her mind raced, her Taoism heart quietly transformed, and her entire temperament changed completely, becoming calm and composed. Even Nalan Kongming couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

"Master, I would like to form a Taoist couple with the children of the Nalan family, but the one I like is not Senior Brother Nalan Ze. Can you please change the Taoist partner?"

"Oh~ Which boy of mine do you like?"

Nalan Kongming didn't expect that Liu Muqing actually had dealings with a younger generation of his Nalan family. This might just be a good thing for that kid.

Liu Muqing moistened her throat, took a step forward and said loudly:

"Master, Senior Sister Qingluo and I fell in love at first sight in Kunshan Secret Realm. She came to Luoxia Mountain to spend time with my disciples under the moonlight.

The Sect Master insisted that the disciple choose a disciple of the Nalan family to form a Taoist partner. The disciple begs the Sect Master to help me and Senior Sister Qingluo get together."

Zhao Yan, who was behind Lin Luo, was stunned at first, then she opened her mouth slightly with a look of astonishment, and shouted in her heart, No, this is my future lines.

Nalan Qingluo, who was standing beside Nalan Kongming, had a blazing light in his eyes, and he felt as excited as a good horse meeting a good horse trainer.

"Ancestor, I..."

"Shut up!"

Nalan Kongming's face turned terribly dark. He was so angry looking at these two rebellious juniors.

"You evil thing, go back to seclusion now. If you can't reach the late stage of foundation building within three years, don't come out."

"No, old man, let me explain."

After three years of seclusion, Nalan Qingluo shivered as if she had been poured with cold water, realizing that she had been tricked by Liu Muqing.

She hurriedly opened her mouth to clarify, but Nalan Kongming did not give her a chance. With a wave of his sleeves, Nalan Qingluo shrank strangely on the spot and then flew uncontrollably into Nalan Kongming's sleeves.

"What kind of spell is this?"

Liu Muqing looked at Nalan Kongming's cuffs in surprise. Nalan Kongming thought she was concerned about Nalan Qingluo, and his expression became even uglier.

“Lin Luo, let this little girl stay in seclusion as well. My Daoxuan Sect cannot encourage this kind of evil trend!”

After saying this, the young figure of Nalan Kongming appeared at the door of the hall in a flash, and then disappeared without a trace in a flash. This was the Nascent Soul's magical power - teleportation.

Lin Luo looked at Liu Muqing strangely, wanting to laugh but unable to, with a stiff face he asked sternly:

"Little Twelve, you and Nalan Qingluo..."

"Master, don't you agree?"

Lin Luo's face suddenly fell, and he ordered:

"From now on, you are forbidden to have any contact with Nalan Qingluo."

After leaving the palace, Liu Muqing looked up at the sky and let out a breath of regret. Going against the norm was just a bold attempt.

Since she couldn't destroy her engagement with Nalan Ze, she could only fly away and find a way to avoid the sight of Sect Master Daoxuan, and wait for Lin Luo to advance to the Nascent Soul stage before coming back.

"Xiao Twelve, did you and Qingluo really fall in love at first sight?"

Zhao Yan's resentful voice came from behind her. She knew clearly the change in Nalan Qingluo's mentality after returning from Kunshan Secret Realm.

The funny thing is that she was still like a crying fool, begging and refusing to let go.

"Seventh Senior Sister, I was just testing the waters for you. Look at the attitudes of Master and the head of the sect. There is no hope for you and Senior Sister Qingluo. Besides, she is not a person who will always be loyal."

Zhao Yan frowned and said anxiously:

"I won't let you say that about her!"

A love-struck person is short-sighted and will infinitely magnify the other person's strengths, and will even turn weaknesses into strengths in his or her mind.

When asked what love is in this world, Liu Muqing suddenly understood why she had not been able to master the "Yijian Lingxiao Jue".

"Okay, let's stop talking. Seventh Senior Sister, let's go. I brought back some local specialties from the Cambrian Kingdom. I'll treat you to fish today."

Liu Muqing pulled Zhao Yan, who looked melancholy, towards the bamboo house where Xie Xiaoyu and Li Zhiyun lived.

"You haven't answered me yet. What's the relationship between you and Qingluo falling to the ground?"

Liu Muqing recalled the first time she met Nalan Qingluo, when she took off her azure robe, revealing her arms and shoulders, and threatened to make her her Taoist partner.

"Well... at most we are honest with each other, but there is no love between us."

……

Bamboo House Courtyard

Liu Muqing took out a storage bag full of Cambrian local specialties, mainly various fish, and gave it to Xie Xiaoyu for disposal.

The three sisters haven't seen each other for a year, and they have endless family stories to talk about with each other. Xie Xiaoyu has already reached the great perfection of Qi Refining, and she only needs to wait for the Qianyuan Secret Realm to be opened so that she can advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

Her relationship with Fang Jianyi has made rapid progress in the past year. Once she reaches the foundation-building stage, the two of them will formally register with the Marriage Palace and become Taoist couples.

The spiritual roots in Li Zhiyun's body completely dissipated and she became a mortal. She was no longer protected by her spiritual roots during life, aging, sickness and death. Fortunately, her senior brothers and sisters cared about her and gave her many elixirs to strengthen her body.

She is also very open-minded and is not obsessed with cultivating immortals. She prefers to play with her sisters and fellow disciples on a daily basis. There are vegetable gardens all around the bamboo house, all of which she planted in her spare time.

However, she was not responsible for cooking. She was just a porter in the vegetable garden. The cook was Xie Xiaoyu.

The three sisters were talking and laughing. Liu Muqing told them what happened in the Cambrian Kingdom, polishing it again, removing the dark parts.

During the conversation, Zhao Yan also interrupted the two and told them that the sect leader had arranged a marriage for Liu Muqing and Nalan Ze to become a Taoist couple.

Xie Xiaoyu was very pleased after hearing this and praised:

"I have met Senior Brother Nalan. He is a handsome man with good talent and strength, but he has a bad temper. Mu Qing, you might as well try to get along with him."

"Okay, Sister Xiaoyu."

Liu Muqing agreed with a smile. Li Zhiyun looked at her for a while, then suddenly turned her head and pointed at the flapping pot lid in the kitchen, and said in surprise:

"Ah! Sister Xiaoyu, the fish is mushy, go and turn it over quickly."

Xie Xiaoyu quickly stood up, then sat down again, rolled his eyes at Li Zhiyun and said:

"This is steamed, why turn it over? The frying hasn't started yet."

"Oh~"

Li Zhiyun stuck out her tongue, then blinked at Liu Muqing and raised her hand and said:

"Sister Mu Qing, don't practice all the time. Sleep with me tonight and let's talk."

Sharing the joys and sorrows, she could see that Liu Muqing was worried.

"What kind of private message? Can't you add me?"

Xie Xiaoyu protested, and Li Zhiyun looked at her with disdain and imitated her vividly:

"I don't know who it was last time, but he hugged me in the middle of the night. Ah~no, ah, Brother Fang, don't pity me..."
