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

Chapter 365 Invincible Appearance

"Qiqi, if what that person said is true, that wooden carving might be very suitable for you. Putting aside the inheritance of the strongest person inside, just that trace of the true essence of wood will be of great help to your future cultivation."

"Sister Wang is joking. How could I possibly own that wood carving? Buying it would probably cost an astronomical sum," Yang Qiqi said with a helpless smile.

"You lot are having a good time, but I've been looking for you for ages." Song Qi's voice reached their ears at that moment.

"Head!"

"It seems Master has found a good place to stay," Yang Qiqi said with a smile.

“They’re young but very clever. However, I didn’t find them for you; Shen Xu and Qingshan did.”

"Huh?" The group immediately looked behind Song Qi, only to find nothing there. They then looked at Song Qi with puzzled expressions.

"What I mean is that we got such a good place to stay because of them. If you want to see them, you'll probably have to wait a while longer."

"Could it be the Tianhe Sword Sect's guild hall?" Jiang Yun guessed.

"Xiao Yun is really clever. It is indeed the Tianhe Guild Hall, and she also gained the protection of the Tianhe Sword Sect in return. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the Tianhe Sword Sect as your backer. They are just being polite."

However, there's no need to be overly worried. Even if the Tianhe Sword Sect member just mentioned it casually, he still needs to take responsibility for his words. As long as you don't make any major mistakes, there shouldn't be any big problems.

"Please rest assured, Sect Leader! We can tell what's more important than what's not," Wang Ya replied.

"That's good, let's go!"

"Sect Leader, do you think it's possible for us to go and take a look at Tianjian Mountain?" Wu Qi suddenly asked.

"What are you thinking! You're not disciples of the Four Directions Sword Alliance, why would they let you in? If you're not afraid of death, you can give it a try."

"What a pity," Wu Qi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

“Master, I don’t think it’s impossible. After all, Tianjian Mountain is so big. If Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Lu are willing, they can take us in.”

"This...you'll have to ask them when you see them, but I still think it's unlikely. After all, they're just ordinary disciples of the Four Directions Sword Alliance."

……

"Qingshan, I have good news for you. Can you guess what it is?" Qin Qing asked with a smile from inside Lu Qingshan's attic.

"Does this mean we don't have to patrol at night tomorrow?" Lu Qingshan asked with a bitter face.

"What are you thinking! You know that the night patrols contribute the most points. I worked hard to get them for you, and with my brother leading the team, what are you afraid of?" Qin Qing said with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm just afraid of your brother!" Unfortunately, Lu Qingshan couldn't say these words.

"I can't guess what the good news is."

"The sect you belonged to before joining the Sword Alliance has also come to participate in the Four Directions Auction. They are currently staying at the Tianhe Club. Manager Qi asked me to inform you. Isn't that a pleasant surprise?"

"Really!" Lu Qingshan immediately showed an expression of great joy.

"Who came? Is Elder Huang leading the team again?" he asked impatiently, instantly feeling all the fatigue of the past few days disappear.

"It seems your sect leader is leading the team, but I don't know who else is coming," Qin Qing said thoughtfully.

"Is it the sect leader leading the team? That's not right! The Green Bamboo Sword Sect is only an eighth-grade sect. Logically speaking, they shouldn't be qualified to be invited to the Four Directions Auction. Could they be here in their personal capacities?"

"I asked Manager Qi for you. He said that the Tianhe Sword Sect issued a Blue Gold Invitation to the Qingzhu Sword Sect, so they are qualified to participate in the Four Directions Auction."

"That's even stranger. Could it be because of Junior Brother Shen?" Lu Qingshan fell into deep thought.

"Why do you care so much? In the end, your sect has brought people here, which is a good thing. Why do you have to make it sound like there are all sorts of conspiracies involved?"

"It's been almost a year since I joined the Sword Alliance, and I still haven't seen Junior Brother Shen. He has never participated in any of the events organized by the Tianhe Society."

"Xiao Qing, do you know where Junior Brother Shen lives? I want to go with him to see the Sect Leader."

"I also want to know where he is, after all, Steward Qi asked me to inform him."

You wouldn't believe it, but he's now the most mysterious new member of the Tianhe Society. Everyone's saying that Shen Xu is practicing some kind of unparalleled divine skill somewhere, and once he comes out of seclusion, he'll sweep away all the new disciples in the Sword Alliance with invincible power.

After all, he had already shown his invincible prowess in the Sword Selection, so he couldn't have been sleeping all this time since he last showed up.

Most importantly, he did not join any team, but his name was not on the list of those who did not complete the initial Sword Alliance mission.

What does this mean? It means he completed a Sword Alliance mission all by himself. You know how difficult those solo missions are; no new disciple could possibly complete one like that. So he must be doing something incredibly important.

"Haha, I don't think so. Given Junior Brother Shen's personality, he might just not like participating in those activities."

And don't forget there's one among the new disciples who can make even Junior Brother Shen bow down to her.

Lu Qingshan still remembered the scene where the girl wearing the wooden mask saved him from the clutches of the Earth Demon Bear. It was the first time since he was born that he truly admired a woman.

"Isn't it a bit much to compare Lady Aoki to Shen Xu? She's not even on the same level as us anymore."

“You’re right, she’s no longer from our world.” Lu Qingshan couldn’t help but sigh.

"Then what should we do next? We can't just come to the sect leader and not inform Junior Brother Shen!" Lu Qingshan frowned.

"I'll go ask Senior Sister Bai! After all, she's the one who recruited Shen Xu into the Tianhe Society. She might know Shen Xu's whereabouts. Besides, I'm very curious about the wooden carving that Guan Bi got."

"Xiao Qing, thank you so much."

"It's alright, just take me to see your sect leader when the time comes," Qin Qing said with a smile.

Seeing Qin Qing's smiling face, Lu Qingshan smiled as well and replied, "Okay!"

“Qingshan, you also comprehended the meaning of wood. If you were the one who went to the central square to contact the Praying White Crane, perhaps you would be the one who obtained that wood carving. I think you are more in line with the requirements of the Praying White Crane than Guanbi.”

Thinking about the value of that wooden carving, Qin Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Xiao Qing, you don't need to feel sorry for me. Let's not talk about whether the Qiling White Crane would even take a liking to me. Even if I had gone to the Central Square back then, I wouldn't have been able to come up with those ten thousand Nourishing Yuan Pills." Lu Qingshan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Seeing Lu Qingshan's self-deprecating smile, Qin Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of pity. "Qingshan, you're already very capable. Your background doesn't determine everything. I believe you're no worse than those who came to the Sword Alliance from major sects, and I'll help you too."
