Chapter 1380: Chapter 1379: Visitors from the Lianshan Sect

Lianshan Sect, the largest sect in the Southern Border, might be seen as half the territory of the Southern Border itself; such a view may be exaggerated, yet to only say they hold a considerable influence in the Southern Border could be an understatement.

It’s widely known that the Southern Border is vast and sparsely populated, surrounded by impoverished mountains and treacherous waters, mingled with demons and ghosts, making it difficult for ordinary humans to live, where deep mountains and pools often harbor bloodthirsty demons and soul-devouring anomalies.

And Lianshan Sect is the largest sect that shelters ordinary humans within the Southern Border’s territory, with many of its high-ranking members being human.

Though the Sect Leader may not be the foremost expert of the Southern Border, they certainly belong to the top tier, and most importantly, within Lianshan Sect, the cultivation technique collection is the widest and most diverse, with the largest number of mid-level experts.

Even Phoenix Mountain would not overlook the influence of Lianshan Sect.

The Primordial Saint Sect, also a human sect, naturally has connections with Lianshan Sect.

The experts of Primordial Saint Sect are also familiar with the members of Lianshan Sect, such as Priest Fan, who is friends with many hall masters, village chiefs, and squad leaders within Lianshan Sect.

Now, there is a familiar friend who heard about the setting up of a branch by the Primordial Saint Sect in the Central Plains, hence they came to visit while traveling.

Gao Liangyou mentioned, Du Yueyao thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, let Priest Fan entertain the guests first, I’ll come by in the afternoon and host a banquet tonight to welcome the guests."

As the headquarters, foundation, and followers of the Primordial Saint Sect are still in the Southern Border, it is natural to treat the guests from Lianshan Sect well.

Liu Qingyan said, "If you have things to attend to, go ahead, Renxin Hall has me there."

Du Yueyao laughed and said, "No rush, having Priest Fan entertain the guests is enough, what’s more..."

Du Yueyao blinked and softly said, "I’m still unsure whether the guest is truly here as a casual visit or has come with intentions."

"Eh?" Liu Qingyan exclaimed lightly.

Being from an official family background, Du Yueyao naturally thought more thoroughly, "Lianshan Sect is the largest sect in the Southern Border, but the Primordial Saint Sect has established their branch safely in the Central Plains, and as the Sect Leader, I’m still the daughter of the Ministry of Rites’ Assistant Minister."

Liu Qingyan suddenly understood, "Ah! There’s so much behind this!"

"Of course, it might also be that I’m overthinking." Du Yueyao smiled and said, "Last year the Primordial Saint Sect had a misfortune, with Sister Kong Lan stepping in to help, everyone knows Phoenix Mountain is our supporter, not to mention Sister Lingxi is friends with the Sect Leader of Lianshan Sect."

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "It’s okay, thinking more does no harm, Lingxi being friends with the Sect Leader of Lianshan Sect doesn’t mean there aren’t others within Lianshan Sect thinking differently."

Liu Qingyan turned to look at Lu Zheng, worriedly said, "Then Yueyao..."

"No worries." Lu Zheng laughed and said, "With Lingxi around, what kind of waves could those below stir up?"

Seeing Lu Zheng confidently using Si Lingxi as a backer, Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao couldn’t help but laugh.

Eating soft food so firmly, besides Lu Zheng, there’s really no one else.

After sending Gao Liangyou back to report and prepare the evening banquet, Du Yueyao continued to consult at Renxin Hall.

Until afternoon, when Du Yueyao left, Lu Zheng then took Liu Qingyan home.

As soon as they arrived home, they saw Liu Qingquan leaning against the window sill, idly watching the dry leaves fall one by one from the tree.

Liu Qingyan waved a hand in front of Liu Qingquan’s eyes, "What are you looking at?"

"Eh? Sister? Brother-in-law?"

Only then did Liu Qingquan notice the two had appeared, saying with surprise, "Why did you come back today?"

Just one sentence made Liu Qingyan’s maternal instincts burst, hugging Liu Qingquan tightly.

Lu Zheng scratched his nose, "We only went for a picnic five or six days ago, how could it feel like we haven’t met for years?"

Liu Qingquan wrinkled her adorable little nose, huffed lightly, "It’s seven days! You now don’t stay home often, I don’t even know what you’re up to, you always don’t take me along!"

Madam Liu carried two plates and walked toward the front hall, speaking as she walked, "Brother Lu is paired with your sister, why take you along?"

"Humph! I don’t care!"

Liu Qingquan raised her head, "I want to follow them always!"

Liu San followed behind Madam Liu, carrying a pot of chicken soup, teased as he walked, "Following them always, not finding a husband yourself?"

"Humph! I won’t look for one!" Liu Qingquan shook her head like a rattle, "The scholars described in picture books won’t do, and those at the county school are even worse, far inferior to brother-in-law!"

Everyone, "..."

Liu Wu just came out from the kitchen, carrying a large wooden tray with four plates of dishes on it.

"If you want to find someone by the standard of the brother-in-law, I reckon you need another hundred years."

"If it’s a hundred years, then a hundred years!"

Liu Qingquan was completely unbothered, "Until I find one, I’ll just keep following sister!"

...

Liu Qingyan recently has either been attending hospital consultations or borrowing books from the university library, when free, she’s either reading or shopping in Hai City, which indeed made it a long time since she returned home.

Seeing Liu Qingquan missing her elder sister, she decided to stay and accompany Liu Qingquan for a night.

Thus, Lu Zheng went home alone under the apologetic gaze of Liu Qingyan.

Then, he traversed dimensions.

Exiting while supporting the wall the next day.

...

"How was it yesterday, who came?"

No guests were at Renxin Hall.

Elder Liu lay on the redwood rocking chair Lu Zheng specially made for him, rocking and sunbathing at the entrance.

Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao were sitting in the hall, brewing tea and nibbling on melon seeds.

"It’s the hall master of White Water Hall from Lianshan Sect, named Zeng Changlong, an old acquaintance of Priest Fan." Du Yueyao said.

Liu Qingyan asked, "Did he come with intentions?"

"Could not tell."

Du Yueyao smiled and said, "At least on the surface, it’s purely for traveling and catching up."

"But Primordial Saint Sect doesn’t have secrets, nothing that can’t be shared with others." Du Yueyao said, "Priest Fan retained the guest, inviting him to stay longer."

Liu Qingyan nodded, showing no concern.

Then Du Yueyao asked, "Feels like sister recently has new insights into medical skills, watching sister consult the past few days, there’s something different?"

Liu Qingyan laughed at the words, "You noticed?"

Du Yueyao lightly bit her lip, couldn’t help but leaned closer to Liu Qingyan, softly asking, "Did Brother Lu give you special treatment?"

Liu Qingyan blushed, softly slapping Du Yueyao, "What are you saying!"

Du Yueyao merely giggled, "Right, sister’s medical skills are now higher than Brother Lu’s, sister’s the one giving him special treatment."

Du Yueyao thought it might be Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan researching medical skills in the inner room; even if she was envious, she couldn’t make a request to join!

Liu Qingyan turned even redder, strongly holding back the embarrassment in her heart, broke free from Du Yueyao, took out three books from her jade bracelet.

"I’ve acquired some medical books recently, here are some conclusions I’ve organized and summarized, you help me review to see if there are any oversights."

"Eh?"

Du Yueyao took the books, opened them to see, exclaimed in shock, "So much, and so many cases of difficult and complicated diseases?"

"Exactly." Liu Qingyan nodded, "Being free recently, let’s research together now."

Du Yueyao nodded repeatedly, also filled with interest, said, "Alright!"
