Chapter 29
When the Xuanqing sect was established, it occupied an entire mountain range, it has been occupied for tens of thousands of years, and the original name of this mountain range has long been forgotten. Now the world only knows that this is Xuanqing sect, so this mountain range has also been renamed Xuanqing Mountain.
Xuanqing Mountain occupies quite a large area, and it was originally chosen by the Xuanqing Sect Master as a place of cultivation.
But now tens of thousands of years have passed, and the mountains that used to be isolated have long since become places where people gather. Not all cultivators abstain from love, they can still get married and have children. Those who could cultivate stayed in the Xuanqing Sect, while those who were not qualified left the sect and went down to the foot of the mountain.
Gradually, the once desolate Xuanqing Mountain became populated. And these people gathered in one place to settle and develop, from the village to the town, and then from the town to the city. Today, the prosperity of this Xuanqing City does not lose to any other place in the world.
Yun Qingyue is not an ostentatious person, so she carried the little white tiger and flew all the way to the outside of the city with the sword, and then pressed down the sword lightly and landed.
It was not uncommon for the city guard to see this. Only when Yun Qingyue entered the city, he bowed to her and did not say much about the rest. On the contrary, the little white tiger in Yun Qingyue's arms was quite novel when she saw this antique city for the first time. She stood up directly in Yun Qingyue's arms, and her two front paws stepped on her shoulders, then looked left and right.
Naturally, many people saw the little white tiger, but mortals who don't know the identity of the white tiger will not care, and the cultivators who know the value of the White Tiger will not feel that they can meet casually. Even if you have eyes to recognise it, you will find that this little white tiger is so weak that you will only think that you have mistaken it.
Just like that, Yun Qingyue grandly entered the city with the little white tiger in her arms.
The little white tiger looked left and right to watch the excitement. After a while, her curiosity was appeased a little, so she lowered her head and yelled twice. The little paws still stepped on Yun Qingyue's shoulder, and asked, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister, where are we going now?"
Yun Qingyue seemed to have a good understanding with her. When she heard the sound, she said, "Let's go to Yingxian Tower first. The disciples of the Tiandao sect and Buddha sect will arrive in a day or two. I made an appointment with Senior Brother Su Hao of Tianyang Peak and Senior Brother Bei Luo of Luoxing Peak in Yingxian Tower. After meeting the two Seniors, we will discuss the greeting, and then I will accompany you around the city."
When the little white tiger heard it, she immediately became happy—she was too low-ranked to communicate with others, and no one could understand her words except Zhiming Shenjun. But Yun Qingyue is very careful, even if she can't understand her words, she can still be considerate in every way.
Even the system was curious, and asked aside: "Hey, can Senior Sister understand what the host is saying?"
Unfortunately not. Yun Qingyue's reply was just a coincidence. And when she said that she wanted to take the little white tiger to the city, it was just because the little white tiger looked around when entering the city, and seemed to be very curious about the things in the city.
But it will have to wait until the business is done. Right now, Yun Qingyue did not delay and continued to go to Yingxian Tower while holding the little white tiger in her arms. On the way, it attracted the attention of many people. Some looked at the beauty, and some looked at the White Tiger. Fortunately, this is Xuanqing City, and next to it is Xuanqing Sect. No one is bold enough to make trouble here.
Yingxian Building is not far away and is easy to recognise. It is a four-storey building with hanging eaves, and you can see it standing in the city from a distance.
As soon as Yun Qingyue appeared in front of the Yingxian Tower with the little white tiger, she heard someone from upstairs greet her: "Junior Sister Yun, you are here. Come upstairs quickly, Senior Brother Su and I have been waiting for you for a long time."
The little white tiger looked up, only to see a young man on the second floor holding onto the railing and rushing down to greet them—a person cultivates when he draws the air into the body, he will expel the impurities in the body at the same time. As a result, it seems that there is no real ugly person in the entire cultivation world. It was the same with the person upstairs, not only was he handsome, but also his temperament was different.
Who is this man? Is it Su Hao from Tianyang Peak? Or Bei Luo from Luoxing Peak?
The little white tiger's curiosity didn't last long. Yun Qingyue quickly carried her up to the second floor, and then greeted the two people in the box: "Senior Brother Su Hao, Senior Brother Bei Luo, you have been waiting for a long time."
That person was Bei Luo, and Su Hao was dressed in a gentle and refined manner, the closest to an orthodox cultivator in her imagination. He just smiled when he heard the words, then shook his head and said: "You don't have to be like this, Junior Sister Yun, Junior Brother Bei Luo was just joking with you, and we arrived not long ago."
While talking, the two people in the box also saw the little white tiger in Yun Qingyue's arms. Because the little white tiger's aura is not strong, the two thought at first that the cold Junior Sister Yun had suddenly started raising a spiritual pet. After a closer look, why does this little spirit pet look so much like a White Tiger? is there such a weak White Tiger? Even a newborn tiger cub shouldn't be so weak, right?
Although the two of them have high levels of cultivation, they are different from Senior Brother Qu in the Spirit Beast Garden. The latter dealt with spirit beasts all year round, so he naturally recognized the identity of the supervisor at a glance. But they couldn't be sure, so they could only look at this tiger with a suspicious look.
Seeing this, Yun Qingyue also knew their doubts, so she simply said bluntly: "This is the supervisor, the Sect Master and Zhiming Shenjun ordered me to take care of it temporarily."
Su Hao and Bei Luo looked at each other. They didn't dare to underestimate the weak tiger cub. Instead, they both got up and saluted the little white tiger: "Disciple has seen the supervisor."
Jiang Mo was shocked. She subconsciously looked at Yun Qingyue, but saw that she looked calm and not surprised. In fact, it was normal for Su Hao and Bei Luo to react like this, because they were the Eldest Brothers of their respective peaks, and their visions were naturally not comparable to ordinary disciples. Ordinary disciples may only see the weakness of the little white tiger at this moment, but they can understand the significance of having this Divine beast in the sect.
Zhiming Shenjun is already 8,000 years old. Although outsiders don't know what level he has cultivated to, his blood is pure, and he is estimated to be not far away from ascending.
It is a good thing that he has a high level of cultivation, but once this Divine beast leaves, the impact on the Xuanqing sect will not be insignificant.
Although the White Tiger was small, her presence represented hope, so Xuanqing naturally had to make offerings.
Jiang Mo didn't know this, but seeing Yun Qingyue's expression, she knew that she didn't need to be surprised, so her mentality stabilized. She jumped out of Yun Qingyue's arms, landed on the table, raised her head and chest to the saluting two people and raised their paws, signalling that they don't need to be too polite.
The white tiger is the God of war and should be a majestic existence, but the one here is obviously too small.
Su Hao was fine, he was originally a gentleman, and he had a lot of respect for the future Divine Lord. But Bei Luo is different. He has a free and unrestrained temperament.
Seeing the little white tiger in front of him with her head up high, pretending to be majestic, he finds it a little funny. So he deliberately picked up a plate of jerky on the table to tease her: "The supervisor has worked hard all the way, are you hungry? Do you want some jerky to grind your teeth?"
Jiang Mo wasn't a real cub, so how couldn't she see Bei Luo's teasing? Even though he was good-looking, but with Yun Qingyue here, she didn't pay much attention to him. So she raised her claws and pushed the plate of jerky away in a serious manner.
Seeing this, Bei Luo sighed regretfully, took a piece of jerky and threw it into his mouth to chew.
Jiang Mo refused Bei Luo's feeding, but that didn't mean she didn't want to eat jerky. In fact, after eating the goose stew, her appetite has been aroused. The meagre milk could no longer satisfy her, she was tired of eating peaches, and the elixirs couldn't be eaten as a meal... The jerky in front of her undoubtedly attracted her, but she was fed by the wrong person.
Glancing at the dry meat, Jiang Mo was really embarrassed to immediately backtrack, so she subconsciously turned her attention to Yun Qingyue again.
Yun Qingyue was keenly aware of her gaze, and while laughing inwardly, she also took two steps forward to the table and sat down.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the little tiger, she picked up a piece of jerky and handed it to the other party's mouth.
This time Jiang Mo was not polite, "Aww" she ate the jerky in one gulp, and her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Seeing this, Bei Luo, who failed in feeding, shook his head and said in a half-sentimental and half-joking way: "You won't eat it if I give it to you, but if Junior Sister Yun is the one who offers, you will eat. It's really sad that the supervisor treats us so differently."
He said he was sad, but his eyes were bright and smiling, no one would take it seriously—Yun Qingyue knew that he was too lazy to talk about it. Not to mention Jiang Mo, who gnawed on the jerky with relish, and didn't even give him an extra look, which was to carry out the differential treatment to the end. In the end, it was Su Hao who saw that the topic was going too far, so he came out to smooth things over and brought the topic back to the upcoming martial arts debate.
In fact, there is still more than half a month before the three sects compete in martial arts. The reason why the disciples of the Tiandao Sect and Buddha Sect came so early was to see the Xuanqing Sect Grand Competition.
The so-called Grand Competition is for the selection of disciples who will participate in the Jiazi. Except for the Xuanqing sect, the disciples of Tiandao and Buddha sects had already competed before they came, and the ones who came were the winners. But this time, as the host of the whole competition, the Grand Competition was postponed, waiting for the arrival of the other two sects' disciples before starting the selection. Firstly, it is to warm up for the future, and secondly, it is to show strength.
This is a customary practice. Even if the disciples expose their cards in the Grand Competition, there is nothing they can do, because it was the same when the Tiandao Sect and the Buddha Sect held the martial arts debate in the past. In this way, no one will suffer a loss, let alone take advantage of the other party.
The three people present are all Elder disciples of each peak, so they naturally have a plan for the inter-sect competition, and they don't put too much thought into the Grand competition. Bei Luo put away the sloppy jokes, and suddenly asked seriously: "Who are the ones from Tiandao and
Buddha sects that are coming here this time? Did Senior Brother Su and Junior Sister Yun get any news?"
Yun Qingyue is cold-tempered and seldom communicates, so she is not used to inquiring about these things: "No, I have never inquired about it. But people will come in the next two days. You will know when you see them arrive."
Su Hao has a gentle temperament and is good at speaking with others, so he is better informed than the other two. But with Yun Qingyue's words, he didn't know whether to speak or not. After a while, he laughed: "Junior Sister Yun is right, but it is always good to know yourself and your enemy.
Among the people from Tiandao is Jiang Shen. It is said that he has the Heavenly Spiritual Root of Thunder. His cultivation speed is fast and his skills are domineering. A few years ago, there seemed to be a Buddhist in the Buddha sect, but the people of the Buddhist sect have always kept a low profile, so we don't know the details, so don't underestimate them."
After Yun Qingyue and Bei Luo were informed, they soon started talking about other things.
The little white tiger listened without saying a word, as if listening to a story that had nothing to do with her. Taking advantage of the few people not paying attention, she stretched out her claws and secretly stole the plate of jerky, then ate the whole plate.
