"No, Senior Brother Yan, you..." Zhou hurriedly reached out to stop him, trying to calm him down. But Yan Xiaohu suddenly grabbed Zhou tightly, his eyes red, almost kneeling to Zhou as he pitifully said, "Brother, I’ve never asked anyone for anything in my life. I’m begging you, take me with you, please?" Seeing Yan Xiaohu with snot and tears all over his face, Zhou twitched his face, thinking it seemed like he was abandoning him. "Senior Brother, Master is alone right now..." "You all left, and if I’m the only one left, he’ll beat me up real bad. Plus, he’s still strong and doesn’t need me to take care of him," Yan quickly interrupted Zhou. Then he continued, "And I have dealt with that second uncle before. During the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering, he swindled a lot of money from me. I have some history with him." Yan Xiaohu quickly turned around and started packing swiftly, muttering, "The farthest we’ve been together was to Lingyun Mansion. Now it’s should be the same for Vast Mansion." "Second senior sister and her husband went to Vast Mansion, didn’t they? I need to keep an eye on them for Master. If they mess around, we’ll be uncles too early." "Have you read those novels? Changing maps is a taboo. How can we manage without a familiar face in a new place? It’s awkward." "Of course, the main thing is to see the world and hopefully find a Daoist partner. Here at Taiqing Sect, everyone knows each other too well. Plus, my reputation for spying and grave robbing isn’t good, so all the pretty sisters avoid me." "That second uncle will be our mentor next. You’ve all made such rapid progress. If he gives me some pointers, maybe I can reach Nascent Soul middle stage." Yan Xiaohu kept packing and chattering, leaving Zhou unable to get a word in. Soon, he had packed over sixty bags. "There’s also the old hen. At least with me around, I can help take care of it. You drink some water first, I’ll go talk to Master." Yan Xiaohu hurriedly opened the underground chamber, grabbed three boxes, and ran up the mountain, leaving Zhou nearly petrified on the spot. "Why do I feel a bit dazed?" Zhou scratched his head. What amazed him more was that he didn’t know what Yan told Master, but Master actually agreed to let him come along. "When is the second uncle coming to pick us up? I’m so nervous. What if he doesn’t take me? Should I set off early and start from the bottom of White Jade Taixu Courtyard?" Yan glanced around excitedly. Zhou said, "In two days."

Thinking it over, there was one more person he couldn’t leave without saying goodbye to, to avoid causing worry. So Zhou headed straight for Divine Peak. On the way, all the younger disciples looked at Zhou with eyes full of fervent admiration. Slaying five top talents of Cangyan Daoist Palace single-handedly, he was placed second on the must-kill list. No, actually, after Luo Lingling broke through to Divinity Transformation, if the Five Sects War wasn’t over yet, he’d be first for sure. Moreover, at Canglan Mountain, he turned the tide, anticipating the schemes from Cangyan Daoist Palace and Phecda Sect, choosing to support from outside, helping countless people escape. Ask anyone in the Eastern Domain who practices, who doesn’t know Taiqing Sect’s new rising star, Zhou Qing? Facing the eager gazes of everyone, Zhou could only politely smile and nod as he quickened his pace. Upon entering Divine Peak, those fervent gazes grew overwhelming. Especially the many female disciples gathered, faces blushing, looking at Zhou with eyes full of admiration. Even the usually composed and reserved elders had looks of relief and praise when they eyed Zhou. "Senior Brother Zhou!" Seeing Zhou suddenly visiting, Lu Yaoyao excitedly came out, full of joy. With no one else around, Zhou told her about his plan to leave. Lu Yaoyao’s joyful face instantly froze. Without a word, she turned and left. "Where are you going?" Zhou felt this scene very familiar, a sense of unease rising within him. Lu Yaoyao didn’t look back, "Packing my things, going with you!" "I don’t need you to take care of me!" Zhou hurriedly called out. Third senior brother used taking care of him as an excuse, you don’t need to follow suit. However, Lu Yaoyao responded righteously, "But I need you to take care of me." "If you don’t let me go, I’ll disguise myself again, sneak out like I did last time to Cyan Wood City. If an accident happens on the way, you’ll regret it for life!" Lu Yaoyao said. Wait a minute, what’s our relationship? Is this moral blackmail? I originally wanted to say goodbye to others properly, but with you two making a scene, how dare I speak now? Zhou kept trying to persuade, but Lu Yaoyao was determined to go with him. "I came to Taiqing Sect for you. If you’re not here, what’s the point of staying!" Lu Yaoyao’s sudden remark left Zhou dumbfounded. "What do you mean?" Zhou asked, puzzled. "Nothing!" Lu Yaoyao seemed a bit angry, turning her head away, further confusing Zhou. Do all girls get inexplicably angry ? Before long, Yan Xiaohu came rushing in. "You scared me! I thought you tricked me and sneaked off. Oh right, Junior Sister Lu, what’s this?" Yan Xiaohu saw Lu Yaoyao packing her things and seemed to have guessed something.
