Volume 12 is missing Chapter 33: Above the Sky
On top of the towering Tang building.
Zang Xiu leaned over the railing and said sullenly to his wife beside him, "I still don't like this boy."
Ming Yu smiled and said, "Isn't Lu Qingshan pretty good? He has a high level of cultivation and is still young. It's rare for Xiao Jian to have a friend of the same age who can talk to her. This is a good thing. As a father, don't you want your daughter to make friends?"
"I didn't say that," Zang Xiu retorted, "It's just that there are so many people on the island, why does Xiaojian have to make friends outside the island? I can't trust someone whose background I don't know."
"Just like that boy said, our girl is very smart. You have to believe in her judgment of people. If he really is a bad guy, why would Xiaojian be so enthusiastic about him?" Ming Yu said softly.
As a mother, doesn’t she know what kind of personality her daughter has?
Although she is innocent and naive, she is not a foolish girl who trusts others easily.
He didn't even think about it. Apart from this human swordsman, who among all the people on the island could gain such trust and admiration from his own daughter?
"You women just think he's good-looking," Zang Xiu said angrily, "Men are like this. The better-looking they are, the more cunning they are and the more likely they are to deceive women.
Although his talent is “okay”, his behavior is neither humble nor arrogant, and he can be considered so-so, but I can tell at a glance that he is a playboy who likes to flirt with women…”
Zang Xiuben wanted to continue expressing his views, but he saw his wife looking at him with a strange look, and finally her eyes fell on his face. She seemed to understand something, and a look of sudden enlightenment flashed in her eyes, and then she shook her head sympathetically.
After years of friendship and tacit understanding between husband and wife, how could he not understand what this meant?
The head of the Tibetan family, who was originally just generally indignant, could no longer bear it, "I'm not ugly, am I?!"
Mingyu looked at her husband's appearance carefully again.
He has thick hair, bushy eyebrows, a straight nose and a wide mouth. Although his eyes are not big, they are sharp. Even if we ignore his cultivation and temperament, his appearance alone cannot be considered ugly. He can even be barely classified as a handsome man.
"It's not ugly. In fact, it's quite attractive if you look carefully." Mingyu said with a smile.
Zang Xiu nodded with satisfaction, this is more like it!
"But it also depends on who you compare it with. Compared with ordinary people, it's definitely okay, but compared with Xiaojian's friends, it's far worse." Mingyu added.
Zang Xiu clenched his fists, wanting to refute but not knowing how to refute, and finally said angrily: "What's the use of being good-looking? Whether making friends or looking for a Taoist partner, the most important thing is to look at the other person's character and talent."
"You women are so superficial!" he concluded.
"Oh? So that's it..." Ming Yu stretched out his tone and laughed, "Why, when you first saw me, did you fall in love with me at first sight? Did you see my talent at first sight, or did you see my character at first sight?"
Zang Xiu suddenly felt guilty and stopped talking angrily.
The woman rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "But I agree with what you said before. It's obvious that he came to the island not just to visit our daughter."
Mingyu is very rational. Although he admires Lu Qingshan, he will not lose his vigilance.
The man laughed dryly, and walked down the stairs very tactfully, saying, " Why ? They obviously want to win over our Lingye Island to join their human camp."
"Not to mention that our Lingye Island has always remained neutral and will never get involved in irrelevant fights in the outside world. Even if we join the camp, the gap in strength between their Cangqiongtian and the demon clan is obvious, so they are definitely not the first choice." Ming Yu said softly.
Zang Xiu reminded: "That was before. If we are really forced , it seems that we can only choose Cang Qiong Tian."
"That demon king of the demon clan broke into our Lingye Island and had two conflicts with us in succession. We have already formed a grudge against each other."
"That's nothing," Ming Yu shook his head. "No one died. You just taught them a lesson. Besides, even if someone died, it doesn't matter. The demons are so cold-blooded. As long as the benefits are great, there will be no absolute hatred."
"That's true..." Zang Xiu agreed with what his wife said.
"That's why, if we really have to choose between the two, we absolutely cannot choose the demons." Ming Yu said coldly.
Zang Xiu was startled and stared at Ming Yu blankly...
How come I told you all the good and bad things? So what should I say...
"Similarly, for the demons, as long as the benefits are sufficient, there will be no absolute allies..." Ming Yu continued: "The existence on the top of the mountain is definitely more valuable than our Lingye Island."
Before she finished speaking, Zang Xiu already understood what his wife meant.
"That doesn't guarantee that the human race will be better than the demons in this regard?" Zang Xiu frowned.
"At least they will be more trustworthy than the demons." Ming Yu said calmly.
Although only some.
"Fortunately, it hasn't come to the point where we have to choose between the two. If he brings it up, we'll just refuse tactfully." Zang Xiu thought for a moment, shook his head, and said this without thinking any more.
"But you still have to treat her well, and don't give her a cold shoulder," Ming Yu nodded and warned, "It's rare for our daughter to make friends, and as a father, you can't let her lose face."
Zang Xiu smiled awkwardly and said weakly: "I know..."
He thought about it, and suddenly said helplessly: "This kid is more complicated than you think."
"Hmm?" Mingyu knew her husband's character very well. Such an evaluation showed that Lu Qingshan was indeed unique, but she didn't see it and immediately became interested.
"When I looked across the island, I saw five swords hidden in the space around him, and each one was unusual..."
"You have just seen the strongest one."
"It must be that Miss Yitian." Mingyu said.
"Yes, it is unheard of that the spirituality of a sword can reach that of a god." Zang Xiu was an expert and praised sincerely.
Fortunately, he is a kind-hearted person and does not have too much greed for this. If he were someone with a more vicious mind, he would have already started to plot ill by now - of course, it is also because he was born with thirteen orifices, and now all thirteen orifices are full.
"That's not all. When I saw him just now, while you were talking, I observed him carefully and found that he had not only five swords hidden beside him... but there were more swords. It's just that these swords are far inferior to those five swords, so I didn't notice it before." Zang Xiu paused.
"How many are left?" Mingyu asked casually before realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"Two hundred thousand."
…
…
"So, what about you?" Zang Xiaojian tilted his head and looked at Lu Qingshan.
"My cultivation level has improved so quickly because of Hidden Weapon. What about you?" She stared with round eyes, full of curiosity.
Lu Qingshan thought for a moment and said frankly: "I also have a very special talent similar to 'hiding weapons', called..."
"Deep blue."
"It's just that the specific manifestation of this talent is a bit special, and I can't really explain it. Anyway, this talent can help me improve my cultivation quickly."
It’s not that Lu Qingshan had any tricks up his sleeve, it’s just that the panel is really hard to understand for cultivators.
Zang Xiaojian's eyes sparkled, "Your talent is amazing too."
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Mo Yan is not bad either. Although his cultivation is not as good as ours now, he is not far behind."
When the three of them met, they were all just small foundation-building cultivators on Jiaolong Island, but now they have become high-level cultivators, capable of suppressing an area.
And less than twenty years have passed.
The wonders of the world are so amazing that it is hard to describe in words.
Hearing Mo Yan's name, Zang Xiaojian's eyes lit up and he looked at Lu Qingshan expectantly, "Will you meet again in the future?"
Lu Qingshan understood what he meant and began to mutter, briefly narrating to Zang Xiaojian some of the interesting things that had happened since they parted on Jiaolong Island.
From the peach blossoms on Qingqiu Mountain to the discussion of the seven realms in Zhongtian Domain, he and Mo Yan became famous together.
From the sword fight on Qingyaping in the Sword Sect to the departure of the senior brother Ji Chuan in the Yellow Spring Realm.
From the fifty-two consecutive victories in the dojo competition to the Burning Moon Region’s “If I don’t speak, no insect dares to make a sound”.
Finally, it starts from Li Qiu's defeat and opening of the Heavenly Gate, until half of the Sword Sect marched west, the Candle Dragon Hall marched east with all its strength, and Xie Qingyun, the unrivaled Sword Immortal...
Zang Xiaojian was shocked and fascinated by what he heard.
She never expected that the twenty years that were so dull and boring for her would be so eventful for Lu Qingshan.
"My father has never allowed me to leave the island..." Thinking of this, Zang Xiaojian couldn't help but wrinkled his nose and complained.
She also wants to travel the world and wield a sword!
"Aren't you letting me go now?" Lu Qingshan was curious.
Before, Zang Xiaojian’s cultivation was not high, and he was afraid that something might happen to her, otherwise it would be understandable for her to leave the island.
But Zang Xiaojian has reached such a high level of cultivation that he is fully capable of protecting himself. Does Zang Xiu still need to lock up Zang Xiaojian? Wouldn't that make him a flower in a greenhouse?
Zang Xiaojian saw Lu Qingshan's confusion and explained, "It's not that my father is too strict, but the duty of us in the Zang family is to protect the things above the sky of Jingjian City."
"My father said that I have grown up and should gradually take over this responsibility. When I enter the Ninth Realm, he will completely hand over the Zang family to me. Then he can go out for a good walk with mom, so..." When he said this, Zang Xiaojian stuck out his tongue.
"Something above the sky?" Lu Qingshan wondered.
"My father won't let me tell you what it is, but it's something really, really powerful."
Although it is an absolute secret of the collector and my father told me that I "must not tell" it, I didn't say what it was specifically, so it shouldn't be considered a leak of secrets, right?
Zang Xiaojian thought in his heart.
She thought about it carefully, then nodded vigorously, successfully convincing herself.
Yes, definitely not.
Zang Xiaojian said he couldn’t say, so Lu Qingshan didn’t ask any more questions.
But he had already vaguely guessed that the so-called "it" should be the source of the thunder of the calamity on Lingye Island.
"By the way, you just said that you still want to communicate with my father and mother. Is there something important?" Zang Xiaojian suddenly remembered the "tit-for-tat" conversation between Lu Qingshan and his father just now.
"I have another purpose for this trip, which is to invite your Lingye Island to join our Cangqiongtian camp." Lu Qingshan said frankly.
He is a straightforward person, and his friendship with Zang Xiaojian is already there, so there is no reason for him to hide anything and just make people feel disgusted. It would be better for him to be frank and open and talk about it.
