Rebirth of Adorable Immortal Journey

The memory of the Lu family in Yanzhong has faded in Xiao Ran's mind, whether it is good or bad.

When I left the Central Plains to go to the Far West, I suffered several near-deaths on the way, and my desire to live was so strong that some obsessions I had when I was young lost their original color in this ups and downs.

Forming alchemy, refining Nascent Soul, especially after taking charge of the Lvluo Palace, Xiao Ran didn't take the Lu family in Shanzhong even more seriously.

So much so that whether the man called father is alive or not, and whether he regrets treating his parents and children like that back then, are no longer things he would care about.

Later, he returned to the Central Plains with another identity, and he invited Lu Shi to Qingyumen for one thing after another. Even if he deliberately didn't go to see it, sometimes one or two memories would inevitably pop up in his mind.

To get to the bottom of it, since when did you stop taking the family that was at a loss immediately after you left as your sustenance?

Probably when he learned to love himself, or when someone else came to love him...

Of course, not caring doesn't mean you don't hate it.

In fact, when Lu Hongzhuo brought Lu Chengping and Lu Chengwei who had already entered the inner sect to front Xiao Ran, he didn't even want to move, let alone smile.

Not to mention that Xiao Ran has already clearly expressed his dislike for the Lu family in Shanzhong, with Xiao Ran's current appearance, Qiao Heng can already feel that this dislike has reached the point where he doesn't even bother to perfuse it.

Thus, the cold faces of Qiao Heng and Xiao Ran appeared at the same time, appearing in a tacit understanding...

It should be said that there was a tacit agreement to anger both the patriarch of the Lu family in Shanzhong and the future young master.

But their father and son didn't dare to do the opposite, like this pair, they had an attack on the spot, so they could only take the initiative to greet each other as if nothing happened.

Lu Hongzhuo never thought that the ancestor Qiao of Qingyumen would have such an attitude when facing them directly.

There are many sects, large and small, in the Jianjiang area, but the most powerful ones are none other than Jintingmen and Qixuanmen among the two sects and four sects, and their Shanzhong Lu family.

Jintingmen is good at forging weapons, and the head master Chang Chuan has refined nineteen top-grade spiritual weapons, and it can be said that each of them has caused a sensation in the Central Plains.

The female cultivators of Qixuanmen are not strong in overall strength, but they often marry other sects and get their help.

For example, Patriarch Chang Chuan of the Jinting Gate's Dao Companion came from Qixuan Sect, but he had already fallen when he gave birth to a daughter. Patriarch Chang Chuan even fell into the realm because of this, and was quite hindered in the war of magic.

But because the only daughter's biological mother is like Qixuanmen, she takes extra care of Qixuanmen.

In contrast, although the Lu family in Shanzhong is a family of the same surname, its strength is not weak. Relying on the family's inheritance for nearly a thousand years, there are many outstanding monks in each generation.

Although Lu Chengwei is only the nephew of the patriarch Lu Hongzhuo, he is extremely valued by him.

After all, since Lu Hongzhuo's father, it has been a long time since the Lu family had such a talented sword repair embryo.

In time, if he grows into a generation of great powers, he may not be unable to assist him, or assist Lu Chengping, to create the Lu family's glory again.

When it came to choosing Lu Chengwei as a teacher, there were differences within the family.

An elder believed that Lu Chengwei should not be sent out of the family, so as to have a mentorship with other sects, some things may not be so convenient, and it is not good to decide everything by himself.

Some of them think that if they can worship a great swordsman as their teacher, it will be extremely helpful to Lu Chengwei's cultivation, which is something that the clan cannot provide to Lu Chengwei at present.

As Lu Chengwei's cousin, Lu Chengping didn't want this Jin Linggen's cousin to stay in the clan.

Because this is tantamount to adding a strong competitor, which may not be a good thing for him to take charge of the Shanzhong Lu family in the future.

And Lu Chengwei himself, in fact, prefers to escape from the Lu family and seek a wider world.

His arrogance made him believe that one day he would become the most powerful swordsman in the world. At that time, no matter whether it was the Lu family or the sect he was apprenticed to, they could only be used as stepping stones and would never stop him.

After many efforts, Lu Chengwei still wanted to leave the Lu family, and he did so in a graceful manner.

At that time, there were only two goals set, one was the Cliff Cave of Qingyu Gate, and the other was the Sword Sect of Shoushan, choose one of them.

As for the three-level trial of Qingyumen and the three-way sword array in front of Jianzong's gate, they didn't pay attention to them.

On this issue, Lu and Lu Chengwei themselves did not struggle for too long.

They have a tacit understanding that they prefer Qingyumen.

Although Gu Laozu of Jianzong is much older than Qiao Heng, he obviously has no corresponding advantage in terms of realm.

On the contrary, the younger Qiao Heng has more potential, and it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Gu Laozu in his lifetime.

From Lu Chengwei's point of view, if he wants to be a teacher, he must have the most powerful sword cultivator as his teacher.

Looking at it now, it might still be Patriarch Gu, but in the long run, Patriarch Qiao of Qingyumen is definitely better.

Moreover, Old Ancestor Qiao has another great advantage, which is extremely attractive - that is, he has not yet accepted a direct disciple!

The Shoushan Sword Sect is the same as the Lu family, the same surname is respected by the same family, although there are other surnames, but most of them don't get too much attention.

No matter how talented Lu Chengwei is, he definitely doesn't have the opportunity to receive special preferential treatment like Lu's children in Shoushan.

But the situation with Patriarch Qiao is completely different.

If he was the only apprentice in the Cliff Cave Mansion, he would naturally get most of the master's attention, or even all of his attention, and there would definitely be a lot of resources.

In addition, Qingyumen is the only school in the Central Plains that has Taoists who have crossed the catastrophe, and its strength has soared suddenly, and its scenery is infinite.

In general, worshiping under the Qingyu Gate is very attractive.

So when Mo Xunshan opened the mountain gate and waited for all parties to climb the heavenly steps, Lu Chengwei went to Qingyumen with the expectations and confidence of his family and himself.

Who knew, heavenly ranks, phantom formations, competitions... Lu Chengwei passed all the way and was invincible as he thought at the beginning, but he failed to stay in the end!

Lu Hongzhuo who heard the news was naturally very angry. He felt that this was an extremely embarrassing thing.

——When did their Lu family suffer such a great humiliation?

On the one hand, he felt that Lu Chengwei was not up to the mark, and on the other hand, he also secretly hated that old ancestor Qiao who had eyes but didn't know gems.

Later, after listening to Lu Chengwei's defense, I added another "blue face and disaster", that "famous" golden pill, to my mind.

Lu Hongzhuo originally thought that Qingyumen's revision of the book recommended Lu Chengwei to Shoushan Sword Sect because of Qiao's willful and reckless behavior, so he spared no effort to make up for it.

He had also thought that when he met Patriarch Qiao at Shoushan Sword Sect this time, he could graciously express that he didn't mind, which could not only save face, but also repair the relationship with Qingyumen.

Who knew that Qiao Heng and Xiao Ran didn't even have a smiling face, just looking at their expressions, it meant that they didn't want to see them.

Old Ancestor Gu, who had been paying attention to their side for a long time, smiled inwardly when he saw this.

——This young Qiao Heng has become famous, and he has always thought that he is the best in the world... Although the head of the Qingyu Sect is mediating with him, Qiao Heng is afraid that he still doesn't take Lu's family seriously, which is why he is so indifferent.

He thought for a while, gave some instructions to the disciples around him, and then walked towards them.

"Junior Brother Qiao is able to come to our sect to watch the ceremony, it's really an honor for me!" Patriarch Gu swept away his arrogance in front of others, and even had a smile on his face when facing Qiao Heng.

If the title of Senior Brother and Junior Brother in the Zongmen is placed outside, it will only be used between sects with very close relationships, and it is usually called Zunhao or Daoyou.

Gu Jiangyi took advantage of himself as a sword cultivator and an older monk of the same rank to deliberately call Qiao Heng "junior brother" in order to suppress him.

If Qiao Heng is called Patriarch Qiao, it will obviously fail to achieve this purpose.

Qiao Heng glanced at Gu Jiangyi, and although he saluted back, his expression remained calm, as if he didn't intend to care about the scheming of the title.

However, just because he doesn't care, doesn't mean that other people don't care about him.

Li Xiao Ran took a step forward almost immediately, bowed his hands to Gu Jiangyi with a smile on his face, and said, "I've seen Senior Brother Gu."

——You want to take advantage of our sword cultivators?All right, then I'll let you have enough!

Gu Jiangyi looked at Xiao Ran who seemed to be well-behaved and polite, but his teeth itch in his heart.

He called Junior Brother Qiao Heng because he wanted to suppress the other party, but when he was disturbed by Xiao Ran, he didn't take any advantage at all!

Although Xiao Ran is a direct disciple of a Daoist who upholds the Fa, he is still under 30 years old. A powerful man over 400 years old like Gu Laozu is called a senior brother by him. Not only does he not feel friendly, but it is very inappropriate.

But this head was opened by Gu Jiangyi himself.

Xiao Ran and Qiao Heng are brothers of the same school, since Gu Jiangyi can call Qiao Heng "junior brother" in an intimate manner, then Xiao Ran should also be able to call Gu Jiangyi "senior brother" by taking advantage of the trend.

This is tantamount to throwing a rock at his own foot, I am afraid that Gu Laozu will have a mouthful of blood stuck in his chest, want to vomit but can't, want to swallow but can't swallow this breath.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, Xiao Ran added thoughtfully on purpose: "Senior brother Gu is worried about nephew Ximo's marriage ceremony, but you must take care of your health."

He is both a senior brother and a senior nephew, and he forcibly lowered the seniority of Gu Laozu, and even verbally took advantage of Gu Ximo, the future young master of Jianzong.

Whether he has an advantage or a disadvantage in terms of tongue, it doesn't actually affect Qiao Heng.

But Xiao Ran smiled and pretended to be innocent, which made Patriarch Qiao very rare.

——When this person uses this expression to tease him, he looks very good... When he uses this expression to tease others, he also looks very good!

Finding that Old Ancestor Qiao looked at Xiao Ran as if no one was there, and didn't care how rude he was, this not only angered Old Ancestor Gu, but also made Lu Chengwei, who had witnessed this scene, feel hatred in his heart.

In his opinion, it was Qiao Heng's unprincipled love for this golden core that made him lose the opportunity to become a direct disciple of the Huashen Sword Cultivator, and also made himself and his family lose face. wait!

However, in front of the elders, Lu Chengwei could do nothing but stand by without saying a word, silently enduring the humiliation.

Old Ancestor Gu had a bad start, but he was the suzerain after all, he didn't gain the upper hand, and he didn't lose his demeanor in front of outsiders.

He remembered his purpose of coming here, and called Lu Chengwei to come over to greet Old Ancestor Qiao.

"Thanks to the noble family and Junior Brother Qiao, this child will soon join my Sword Sect. This fate is also due to Junior Brother Qiao."

Old Ancestor Gu pointedly said: "Next, we will hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for him. If you don't want Junior Brother Qiao to stay, you can witness it."

Qiao Heng looked at Gu Jiangyi, and responded: "It has been a while since we have been ordered by our master to come to the Emperor Guizong to observe the ceremony and congratulate him. I am afraid that there will be no further delay now, and we will set off immediately to return."

Not to mention that he didn't want to get involved in the affairs between Jianzong and the Lu family, just because Xiao Ran didn't like the Lu family, Qiao Heng didn't plan to stay to witness any teacher apprenticeship ceremony.

Gu Jiangyi was waiting for his words.

He immediately said in an extremely regretful tone, "That can't be forced", and at the same time looked sympathetically at Lu Hongzhuo and the others who were standing beside them with embarrassing faces.

……

After returning to the guest courtyard, it took almost no time to clean up. Qingyumen and the others immediately prepared to return.

Daoist Jiang Chen came over again to try to keep them, because he didn't really mean to keep them, so naturally he didn't impress Old Ancestor Qiao and Xiao Ran.

Therefore, the members of Qingyumen and most of the sects who did not stop after watching the ceremony left Shoushan one after another on their respective flying instruments.

As for how the Shoushan Sword Sect recruits disciples, and how certain sects take advantage of Gu Ximo's marriage ceremony to specially come here to have a good "communication" with the Sword Sect, that's not something they have to consider at all.

Because there were too many people at the couple ceremony, li xuan sent the little fur ball into the spirit beast ring, now back on their own flying machine, li xuan immediately let the little guy out.

Probably because he was in a good mood, Xiao Ran picked up the little fur ball and rubbed it around, looking very happy.

—— After so many years, seeing Lu Hongzhuo and Lu Chengping's expressions like that, it's really satisfying!

He still didn't know that his slanted brows and genuinely happy appearance were seen by Old Ancestor Qiao, which could make the other party's heart surge.

"Ah, why are you so cute, I just want to rub your face!"

Xiao Ran gently rubbed the little furball's small round face, rubbing the little guy very unhappy, twisting back and forth excitedly.

Originally, I used the little guy to express my inner joy, but who knew that the old ancestor Qiao heard this, and his heart moved.

At this time, Li Ran saw Qiao Heng walking towards the bed suddenly, and just waiting for him to ask the other party "what to do", Jianxiu stretched out two hands, and gently held Xiao Ran's face, just like Xiao Ran Rubbing his face like rubbing a little furball.

Although the other party still didn't speak, and his face was very flat, but the focused eyes could clearly represent Qiao Heng's answer.

It seems to be repeating what Xiao Ran said just now - you are so cute, so I also want to rub your face...

Fortunately, there are only ignorant little furballs in the room at this time, otherwise anyone who sees it will probably be so stimulated by the feeling between them at this moment that they wish they could go blind.

But even the little hairball, seeing the sword repairer suddenly start to move towards its Xiao Ran, and disturbed the two of them making out, was a little furious.

"Aww, ow~" It ran over, kicked a few times to climb up Xiao Ran's legs, then stood up, and stretched out its little claws to grab Qiao Heng's sleeve.

It's a pity, with what kind of skill and speed is the old ancestor Qiao, how could he repeat the same mistakes of the past, and still not know that he was attacked like Zhou Xi?

However, even though he withdrew his hand, his eyes remained on Li Ran's face, making Yaoxiu feel a little embarrassed when he saw it, and his ears turned red.

"Ahem..." Xiao Ran quickly hugged the little furball that was about to jump on Qiao Heng's body, and patted its little buttocks: "Do you want to play with Qianji Pan? Or do you want to play with Furry?"

When Xiao Maoqiu heard these two things, his eyes lit up, and he immediately forgot about "teaching the sword repairer".

It didn't expect Li Ran to be in such a good mood. As soon as he turned his little head, he used his little paws to hold onto Li Ran's skirt, his little tail was raised high, the tip of his tail was wagging and wagging, his face was full of anticipation.

Looking at it, Xiao Ran didn't know its little idea.

But this time he didn't refuse, but replied very straightforwardly: "You can play both."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Unexpectedly, Xiao Ran agreed.

Then Xiao Ran didn't break his promise, he really took out the thousand machine disks one after another, and conjured up the reincarnation of the ancestor's soul for it.

The little guy had things to do throughout the return journey, so happy that he often forgot to look for Xiao Ran.

As a result, the time when the two of them had been alone together, which Ancestor Qiao had dreamed of, finally passed for another four full days. He was probably more satisfied in his heart than the little hairball, but it was not so obvious on the surface.

……

Bringing the little Maoqiu who was reluctant to leave and Qiao Patriarch, Xiao Ran returned to Qingyumen.

In the past, the only people who could greet them at the entrance of the cliff cave were Yin Peng and Song Yaoqi, who were in charge, and a group of servants.

Now there are six more disciples and a bird to welcome them.

Little Fuqiu was still nostalgic for the happy days of the "double baby" on the flying magic weapon. Now when he saw the short-tailed bullfinch on Zhou Xi's shoulder, he immediately remembered that he was a "family" cat. How could he be like this? I don't feel guilty about not returning home for many days and nights.

Still in Xiao Ran's arms, it stretched out its small neck and called to the short-tailed bullfinch from a long distance away.

"Wow~" Xiao Huihui, the baby is back, do you miss the baby?

"Chirp, chirp, chirp~" Oh.

Little Fuqiu doesn't care about the indifference of the short-tailed bullfinch, it just thinks that the half-moon disappears, and Xiao Huihui is even cuter.

——This is the feeling that Xiao Ran said when he was in the sword repair retreat, "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like you haven't seen each other for three autumns" feeling!

"Welcome Patriarch Qiao, Uncle Xiao!" Everyone immediately saluted Qiao Heng and Xiao Ran when they saw Qiao Heng and Xiao Ran.

As usual, Qiao Heng only said "Well, thank you for your hard work" and then remained silent, but Xiao Ran enthusiastically told Zhang Yufeng, Zhou Xi and the others about the excitement of the ceremony.

"Of course it's not as powerful as Master's Enlightenment Ceremony, but it's not bad."

"Although we saw a lot of sword repairers this time... But to be honest, they are all so-so, so, it's enough for you to meet Patriarch Qiao in your life, really."

Everyone: "..." The best feeling in the whole world for Old Ancestor Qiao, you should enjoy it exclusively with Uncle Xiao.

The little fur ball was lying in Xiao Ran's arms, staring at the short-haired gray sparrow on Zhou Xi's shoulder, making Xiao Ran also look at Zhou Xi.

He thought of something, and asked, "How is Taoist? Did he call you over?"

When Xiao Ran was about to leave, he handed over the responsibility of entertaining his relatives in colorful clothes to Zhou Xi, but now that he returned to the gate, the Taoist master, who worshiped the Dharma, was in seclusion again, and they hadn't had time to pay their respects, so they asked this question.

"The Taoist didn't call me." Zhou Xi shook his head.

But he didn't feel sad or unhappy.

In fact, although he was recommended by Xiao Ran, he knew very well how honorable a Taoist is, how could he have the time to meet a minor foundation-builder like him.

It's just that sometimes I still can't help but look forward to it, as if even being asked by that master uncle is a great honor, enough to make people infinitely happy.

Xiao Ran saw that Zhou Xi's face was calm and free and easy as usual, and he also felt that there was no need to say any more comforting words, so he stopped asking about this matter.

Not to mention how the little furball who returned to his own territory "confessed his heart" to the "dozens of autumn-disappeared" short-tailed bullfinch, Xiao Ran was waiting for Taoist Chongfa to leave the customs.

In fact, Daoist Chongfa was just too lazy to socialize, and he simply kept himself quiet without the chattering disciples around him.

Now that Qiao Heng and Xiao Ran are back, he still can't help calling people over to ask a few words.

When he learned that Patriarch Chang Chuan didn't go to Shoushan, he was a little surprised and always felt strange.

But there were some things that he didn't intend to mention to the juniors, so he didn't continue to dwell on this issue.

"Going out for so long, you have to calm down when you come back, practice hard, and study the formation diagram."

"Yes, master!" Xiao Ran saw that Taoist adoring the Fa seemed to have something on his mind, but it was not easy to ask directly, so he was extraordinarily well-behaved.

Probably because the peaks have taken in new apprentices, the peak masters and master Hanjing Zhenren have become busier than before.

In the past, Xiao Ran drew the formation in front of Taoists advocating the Fa, and occasionally Daoist Han Jing came to accompany him, but now such opportunities are rare.

Facing the increasingly silent Daoists, Xiao Ran was somewhat worried in his heart.

He couldn't figure out why he asked Qiao Heng, so he thought about whether he should take Zhou Xi there, and the two of them discussed and discussed in front of Taoist Chongfa, so that Houfeng would be more lively.

Sometimes he babbled from beginning to end by himself, looking really sad.

So one day, Xiao Ran began to take Zhou Xi to Houfeng.

At first Zhou Xi was not allowed to enter the hall, but he was only asked to stand outside and wait. Later, seeing that Taoist Chongfa didn't care about this person, Xiao Ran asked tentatively.

Daoist Chongfa didn't pay much attention to other things because of some things recently, so he didn't refuse.

However, when Zhou Xi walked into the hall with infinite excitement, before he had time to salute the Daoist, he heard Xiao Ran whisper: "Master, what's wrong with you?!"
