After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 409 Everyone has their own thoughts

"Shall I take you to the library now?"

After asking the question, Bai Lu seemed to remember something, so she smiled and said, "I forgot that you are already at the Qi Sea Realm. In theory, you should be able to get a flying sword from the Heavenly River Society, but the model is a bit outdated."

"You've helped me earn so many Nourishing Essence Pills, how about I give you a flying sword?"

"Why are you suddenly so generous?" Shen Xu couldn't help but be a little surprised. He knew that Bai Lu was rich, but for some reason she was very frugal.

"What do you mean! I've always been very generous, okay?" Bai Lu said, quite dissatisfied.

"Haha, then I'd like to see what kind of flying sword the generous Miss Bai can produce."

He did need a flying sword, but he was short of money.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down." Bai Lu wore a mysterious smile.

"After you help Xiaoruo, come with me to the Tianhe Sword Sect! I also have some things to take care of back there," Bailu suggested.

"Well... it depends on the time. If it takes too long, I might have to go to Hundred Flowers City first."

"Baihua City!" Upon hearing this name, Guan Bi's expression changed.

"Shen Xu, why do you want to go to Hundred Flowers City?" Bai Lu asked, frowning.

"Qingyun wants me to accompany her to the Hundred Flowers Festival in Hundred Flowers City, which will be held around next spring. Is there a problem?"

Shen Xu found their reactions rather strange. As far as he knew, the entire Hundred Flowers City was only a sixth-rank power, and it wasn't even within the territory of the Heavenly River Sword Sect. Bai Lu and Guan Bi shouldn't be reacting like this.

"It's nothing, I was just asking out of curiosity." Shen Xu sensed that Bai Lu's expression seemed a little strange, but since Bai Lu was unwilling to say more, he didn't press her further.

"Did Qingyun say why she wanted to attend the Hundred Flowers Festival?" Guanbi suddenly asked.

Shen Xu found it strange; this wasn't a question Guan Bi would ask. But he still answered, "Actually, Qingyun is from Hundred Flowers City. She just took the opportunity of the Hundred Flowers Festival to go back and see her master."

Seeing Guan Bi's expression, Bai Lu seemed to have made up her mind and said to Shen Xu, "Shen Xu, can I change the condition for what you promised me?"

"Of course, you say."

"Come with me." After receiving Shen Xu's affirmative answer, Bai Lu immediately grabbed his sleeve and pulled him to a place far away from Guan Bi and Xiao Ruo.

"When you and Qingyun go to the Hundred Flowers Festival, can you bring Guanbi along too?" Bailu asked tentatively.

"Uh... if you want to bring Guanbi along, no one's going to stop you!" Shen Xu felt things were getting weirder and weirder.

“That’s not what I meant. I meant you should only take Guanbi with you.”

"How could that be? I was just accompanying Qingyun!"

"What I mean is that when you go to Hundred Flowers City, I will find an excuse to go into seclusion. You need to use a very firm attitude to make Guanbi go with you, otherwise she will definitely stay and accompany me."

Although Guanbi always considered herself my maid, I always treated her like a sister, but she always seemed to treat me like a young lady, and she had to listen to me in everything.

"So I want her to leave my life for a while, so she can see clearly that she should also have her own life," Bai Lu said very seriously.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" Shen Xu's expression couldn't help but look a little strange.

"How could you be so stupid! Even if I go to Guanbi, she'll still have to follow me around. Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if you agree or not!"

"I can agree, but..."

"No buts, it's settled then. Just let me know in advance when you're going."

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she left Shen Xu and returned to Guan Bi's side, leaving Shen Xu completely bewildered.

But since Bailu made this choice, she must have her own reasons, so he should just follow suit.

"Xiao Ruo, can you do me a favor?" Shen Xu said with a smile as he approached the group.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ru tilted her head in confusion.

"See these fallen branches and leaves? If you can collect them all, I'll have the Spirit Crane accompany you to the treatment."

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Ruo replied excitedly, then skipped off to pick up some branches.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lu and Guan Bi immediately cast disdainful glances at Shen Xu.

“I think Xiao Ru is too bored, so I’ll find her some work to do. If you think she’s working too hard, you can help her out,” Shen Xu said to the two of them with a smile.

"shameless!"

Shen Xu couldn't possibly let Xiao Ruo clean up Qingling Creek for him. In fact, the opposite bank of the ancient forest hadn't suffered much damage; what was truly a mess was the area inside the ancient forest itself.

However, he didn't need to worry too much about the ancient forest. The cyan spirit would handle everything for him. After he broke through to the Qi Sea Realm, he once again felt the spiritual fluctuations of the cyan spirit.

He closed his eyes, and the cyan spirit reappeared in his mind, but compared to before, most of the spirit had disappeared.

After conveying an apologetic thought to the cyan spirit, he sensed a weak sense of submission within the spirit's spiritual fluctuations.

With a soft sigh, Shen Xu opened his eyes and began to silently clear away the fallen leaves and broken branches in the ancient forest.

After some time, looking at the ancient forest that had been restored to its former neatness, Shen Xu stopped. The rest would have to be left to time to reshape.

"Why don't you want to see Xiaoruo? We'll be going to the Feather Clan's Holy Temple together soon, so it's best not to have any barriers between us," Shen Xu asked Qiling Baihe, who had been staying by his side watching him work.

"You don't need to worry. I just don't want to see my wings on other people. I'll switch them back with her before we go to the Feather Clan Temple, and I won't avoid her anymore," the White Crane of Prayer explained in his mind.

It's quite a bizarre reason, but it makes perfect sense when applied to the Praying White Crane.

"I don't want you to tell Xiaoruo about this."

"Okay, since it's not an insurmountable problem, I can delay it for a few days."

"Do you know what's inside the Feather Clan's Holy Temple?" He had always wanted to ask this question.

"I don't know either. The inherited memories didn't give a specific description of the Feather Clan Holy Temple. It only said that the Feather Clan Holy Temple contains the inheritance of the Feather Clan's ancestral saints and is related to a very important place." Qi Ling Baihe's gaze was somewhat distant.

“An important place?” He remembered that Bai Lu had also mentioned that the Human Race Temple involved some secrets, which made him feel that perhaps the temples of various races were not simply places where the inheritance of the ancient saints of each race was kept.

"What preparations do I need to make?"

"Find a safe place where the temple can guide the soul. When the soul departs, the safety of the physical body is very important."

"Will others be able to sense when the Feather Clan Temple comes to escort us?"

"We are currently in your human territory. The Feathered Clan Temple probably won't cause too much of a commotion, but it's still best to be careful."

“Then let’s go to White Feather City! There are too many Venerables in the Sword Alliance, and the Four Sword Saints are also in charge. I’m afraid they will discover something.”
