Chapter 90: Lu Xiaoyao’s Assist

“Senior, are you truly not interested in the Southern Wastes?”

In the back mountain forbidden grounds of the Ancient Wood Sacred Land, Lu Xunxian was guiding his daughter’s cultivation when Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng hurried over.

Clearly, they had also learned that the Qingfeng Sacred Land would lead the Righteous-Path sects of the Four Regions to divide up the Southern Wastes together.

And in their hearts, they both knew that the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor had been dealt with by Lu Xunxian. Therefore, the Southern Wastes should naturally belong to Lu Xunxian.

After all, when the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor was still alive, they had not been so arrogant.

“A mere Southern Wastes is not enough to pique my interest.”

Lu Xunxian did not turn back. He guided his daughter’s swordsmanship, his tone incomparably calm.

Forget a single Southern Wastes—even if the Tiansheng Continent were placed before him, he would remain unmoved.

“But Senior, you were the one who dealt with the Heavenly Demon Saint Emperor, yet they want to occupy the results of your efforts. Do you truly feel nothing at all?”

Ye Wushuang hesitated slightly, but still spoke to persuade him.

After Ye Wushuang’s words fell, Lu Xunxian’s movements paused slightly, and his brows furrowed faintly.

It was not that he had become interested in the Southern Wastes. He simply did not want others to touch what belonged to him. That was all.

“I will naturally handle this matter. You do not need to interfere.”

Hearing this, Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their reminder to Lu Xunxian and their indignation on his behalf were one matter. The other matter was that the Five Great Sacred Lands of the Tiansheng Continent were currently evenly matched. If the Qingfeng Sacred Land occupied a small half of the Southern Wastes, the current balance might be broken because of it.

“Then, Senior, we will not disturb you. Also, I have already selected the disciples who will enter the Tiannan Secret Realm this time. Senior Lu, would you like to take a look?”

Just as Ye Wushuang and Gu Feng were about to leave, they remembered an important matter and hurriedly spoke.

In their view, the most important responsibility of the disciples entering the Tiannan Secret Realm this time was to protect the safety of His Highness the Holy Son and Her Highness the Holy Maiden. Therefore, they naturally had to be chosen with great care.

However, Lu Xunxian waved his hand and said calmly, “There is no need. You may decide this matter yourselves.”

He did not intend to rely on the disciples of the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land to protect his son and daughter. A mere Tiannan Secret Realm was not enough to harm them.

The two of them were startled, then immediately thought of this point as well. Thus, they did not linger any longer and turned to leave.

After they left, Lu Qingyun, who was practicing swordsmanship, stopped. She blinked and asked, “Father, does that mean you are going to the Southern Wastes?”

“No. For this kind of matter, it is enough to let Uncle Fu go.”

As Lu Xunxian’s words fell, Uncle Fu appeared before him in an instant.

“Master.”

At this moment, Fu Qitian’s aura was powerful and domineering. After resolving his Heart Demon, he had smoothly broken through to the Mid Saint Emperor Realm. Coupled with Lu Xunxian’s guidance, it could be said that even a Late Saint Emperor Realm cultivator would not be his match.

“Mm. Head to the Southern Wastes immediately. If anyone dares to touch the Southern Wastes, simply kill them.”

Fu Qitian had measures Lu Xunxian had placed on him, and he also possessed an Immortal Sword. Lu Xunxian did not believe anyone on the Tiansheng Continent could harm Fu Qitian.

After receiving the order, Fu Qitian immediately soared into the sky and rushed toward the Southern Wastes.

After Fu Qitian left, Lu Xunxian continued guiding his daughter’s cultivation. As for his son, he had already gone to the Myriad Dao Academy. After all, he had not forgotten his promise to bring his four followers over.

Inside the Myriad Dao Academy.

BOOM!

Inside Luo Qianxue’s Seclusion Cave Dwelling, as Luo Qianxue opened her eyes, a powerful aura at the Peak Saint Monarch Realm erupted from her.

“Finally, the Peak Saint Monarch Realm.”

Luo Qianxue felt a burst of secret joy. At her current speed, perhaps ascending to the Immortal Realm together eighteen years later was not an extravagant hope.

The first thing Luo Qianxue wanted to do after breaking through was to tell Lu Xunxian this good news.

But after she stood up, she sensed something. She hurriedly took out a Transmission Jade Talisman from her Storage Ring.

After listening to the message Lu Xunxian had left for her, Luo Qianxue froze where she stood, her face filled with disbelief.

She had not expected that she had merely entered Seclusion, yet Lu Xunxian had brought two such adorable children to the Myriad Dao Academy.

Suspecting that Lu Xunxian was joking, Luo Qianxue hurried to the front of Lu Xunxian’s residence. After seeing that the residence was already empty, she finally accepted the fact that Lu Xunxian’s family had left the Myriad Dao Academy.

For a moment, Luo Qianxue felt a wave of sorrow in her heart, and she could not help shedding tears.

After all, Lu Xunxian was the first person she had ever loved. Now that he had left without saying a word, how could she not be heartbroken?

But at this moment, a voice came from behind her.

“Big Sister Qianxue, what is wrong?”

Hearing that familiar voice, Luo Qianxue froze. However, she quickly reacted, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and turned around to see Lu Xiaoyao standing behind her.

Beside Lu Xiaoyao were his four followers.

“Cough, cough. Xiaoyao, why did you move away?”

Luo Qianxue forced out a smile and looked at Lu Xiaoyao as she asked.

“This? Father said that we are the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land, so he brought us to the Primordial Sacred Land and the Ancient Wood Sacred Land to receive guidance.”

Lu Xiaoyao thought for a moment, then his eyes rolled. He sighed.

“But...”

“But what?”

Luo Qianxue heard that something was wrong in Lu Xiaoyao’s tone, so she hurriedly asked.

“After Father arrived at the Ancient Wood Sacred Land, his face has been full of sorrow all day. He said he missed the days at the Myriad Dao Academy, and he also missed...”

Lu Xiaoyao’s expression looked somewhat melancholy and somewhat complicated.

“Also missed what?”

Luo Qianxue pressed him for an answer. A faint guess had already emerged in her heart.

“All right, I can say it, but Big Sister Qianxue, do not tell Father that I was the one who said it.”

“Father said he also missed the days he spent with you, Big Sister Qianxue.”

Lu Xiaoyao put on an extremely conflicted expression, but in the end, he still gritted his teeth and said it.

Instantly, Luo Qianxue felt as though she had been struck by lightning, and a blush spread across her face.

She had not expected herself to be so important in Lu Xunxian’s heart. Did this mean that Lu Xunxian also had feelings for her?

Luo Qianxue did not suspect that Lu Xiaoyao was lying to her. In her eyes, Lu Xiaoyao was such an obedient and adorable child. How could he possibly deceive her?

“Then, do you like Big Sister Qianxue?”

“Mm-hmm. I also like Big Sister Qianxue the most.”

When Lu Xiaoyao saw Big Sister Qianxue’s reaction, he knew there was a chance. Thus, he hurriedly nodded.

Then, he seemed to think of something. He hesitated slightly, but in the end, he still became determined.

“Big Sister Qianxue, I have an unreasonable request. I do not know whether you can agree to it.”

“Tell me first.”

Luo Qianxue, who had been immersed in tremendous joy, came back to her senses. She looked at Lu Xiaoyao with a smile and asked in a gentle tone.

“Big Sister Qianxue, can you move to the Ancient Wood Sacred Land? I truly do not want to see Father looking so gloomy all day anymore.”
