Faced with the curiosity of the two, Lu Yaoyao explained with a smile.
"It was by accident that I saw it in an ancient book. I had nothing to do, so I carved them out and gave them to Senior Brother Zhou. In fact, the outside world is far more exciting than we can imagine. If I have time in the future, I can take Senior Brother Zhou to have a look."
Hearing this, and seeing Lu Yaoyao’s encouraging eyes, Zhou Qing felt a warmth in his heart and instantly understood this girl’s intention.
She was really thoughtful.
"Thank you!" Zhou Qing sincerely expressed his gratitude, but his eyes couldn’t help but look at Lu Yaoyao’s hand. Her slender fingers were slightly swollen, and even the fingertips had many dark spots left by wooden splinters.
Did she carve these overnight?
But Zhou Qing didn’t expose this, instead, he smiled and accepted all these wooden carvings.
"Since you are here, let’s eat together!" Zhou Qing invited.
Lu Yaoyao beamed, "Sure, sure."
Then the few of them sat down and started eating.
During the meal, Lu Yaoyao would occasionally steal glances at Zhou Qing, the smile never leaving her face.
[Heart Mirror Points +8]
Under Zhou Qing’s surprised gaze, the note [So Heartache] above her head, which had just changed a couple of days ago, instantly turned into [So Strong].
This left Zhou Qing in a mix of tears and laughter.
But sometimes, when he calms down to think, if he really became useless this time, could he still live as carefree as now, eating and drinking without worrying about anything?
Yan Xiaohu suddenly spoke mysteriously: "I have some insider news. In a few days, Immortal Xuan You will come to our Taiqing Sect with Cui Yingying and others, seemingly to see you."
"I mean, what’s so interesting to see?" Zhou Qing was speechless to the extreme.
It’s been hard for him to lay low. As a sect leader, how can you travel such a long way just to see me? Aren’t you afraid of others gossiping?
Yan Xiaohu said: "Maybe it’s because we saved Cui Yingying and the others before. Now that you are in trouble, they probably want to express their gratitude."
Lu Yaoyao hesitated for a moment, then looked around before whispering: "I think Sister Xuan You has ulterior motives."
"What do you mean?" The two looked at her in confusion.
Lu Yaoyao said: "Before Sister Xuan You left last time, she was always asking about Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff. She even often came to Little Spirit Peak to find Uncle Mo. By the way, when we came that time, Uncle Mo deceived us by saying you were in seclusion."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing fell silent, seemingly understanding something.
It’s also true, Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff is now the first among the younger generation who might comprehend the realm and step into the Divinity Transformation Realm, and he has a Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment.
It looks like Immortal Xuan You considers Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff as her "Heavenly Destiny People" who can save her.
So, coming to see him this time is just a prelude.
Just like Senior Sister Shi Zhen.
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but smile.
Yan Xiaohu blinked and then was shocked, "Oh no, then Sister-in-law... no, how can Senior Sister Shi Zhen compete with that? Just her dowry alone is unimaginable. Apart from youth, what else does Senior Sister Shi Zhen have to compare?"
This time, Senior Sister Shi Zhen went into seclusion for half a year but still couldn’t break through the Nascent Soul, and Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff’s step into Divinity Transformation might happen in a few years.
If Immortal Xuan You really takes a liking to Senior Brother Ghost Mastiff, the two of them would be at the same realm, and might even help each other, cultivating together.
Lu Yaoyao, of course, knew who Senior Sister Shi Zhen fancied, but in such matters, she really couldn’t do anything to help.
But soon, Yan Xiaohu seemed to think of something, and said joyfully: "Old Fourth, if Immortal Xuan You becomes our sister-in-law, won’t we have more resources for our cultivation?"
"Go, go, it’s absolutely impossible for the two of them!" Zhou Qing said firmly.
Immortal Xuan You will never be moved by anyone. What she pursues is merely the person who can help her get out of her predicament.
Once she gets her freedom, believe it or not, she will pull out a storage bag, throw some spirit stones at you, and then say, ’Let’s pretend last night never happened. If you dare spread it around, don’t blame me for being rude to you.’
Afterwards, she will still be that high and mighty sect leader, a Divinity Transformation Realm powerhouse, leading countless people behind her to strive for survival in this chaotic world.
Unless she could bear your child, from a responsibility standpoint, there might be a slight chance.
But the probability is too low, because as the cultivator’s cultivation becomes stronger, the chance of having offspring becomes lower.
How could it hit the mark on the first try?
Of course, it’s not entirely impossible. After all, the future of Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown is limitless, provided you can grow to that level.
"Why is that?" The two asked curiously, hearing Zhou Qing’s negation.
Zhou Qing just smiled: "It’s insider news, we can bet on it if you don’t believe me!"
Once Immortal Xuan You confirms that Senior Brother is not a Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Nascent Soul, she will definitely abandon him without hesitation and continue to search for a new target.
Yan Xiaohu and Lu Yaoyao shook their heads together, they wouldn’t dare to bet.
After a few bites of food, Zhou Qing turned his gaze towards Lu Yaoyao and after hesitating slightly, said: "Junior Sister Lu, there’s something I want to ask you, can I?"
"Sure, Senior Brother Zhou, you can ask anything." Lu Yaoyao put down her chopsticks and blinked her bright eyes.
Zhou Qing gave Yan Xiaohu a subtle look, Yan Xiaohu immediately understood what Zhou Qing was going to ask, and began to curiously observe Lu Yaoyao.
Zhou Qing slowly began, "Well, do I particularly resemble a relative of yours?"
Lu Yaoyao, who was full of curiosity, couldn’t help but tremble slightly, and her hands subconsciously clenched upon hearing this question.
