Chapter 255: Qinghan Returns Home
“Third Sister, how’s the progress on the matter that I asked you for help on?”
Previously, after He Mengxi had returned from the Ziyun planet, Zhou Donghuang had asked her for help to find out about the whereabouts of Luo Qinghan. He wanted to know which sect she had entered in the Hengliu galaxy.
Luo Qinghan was not like him.
He had thousands of years of experience from his previous life, which allowed him to be at ease wherever he went.
Luo Qinghan could only be considered someone from a little faraway place among the Hengliu galaxy… in the Hengliu galaxy, even if Luo Qinghan was especially talented, it would be difficult for her to have a smooth sailing journey throughout her life.
Now, Zhou Donghuang already considered Luo Qinghan as his own woman and naturally could not watch her be in danger all alone out there. If she stayed by his side, he could then do his best to ensure her safety.
Of course, by staying by his side, he could not only guarantee Luo Qinghan’s safety, but also allow her skills to attain new levels!
Besides asking He Mengxi for help to find out the whereabouts of Luo Qinghan, Zhou Donghuang had also made use of the galaxy teleporter to make a trip to the Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy, to send some elixirs to the chief of the Luo family, Luo Wuchen.
When Luo Wuchen saw Zhou Donghuang once again, he had already called him his son-in-law, seeming as eager to meet him as if he were his real father.
Of course, as he delivered the elixirs to Luo Wuchen, Zhou Donghuang had also found out from Luo Wuchen that Luo Qinghan had not returned to the Luo family since leaving two years ago.
After informing Luo Wuchen that he was in the Lightning Sword Sect of the Tielao planet of the Hengliu galaxy, Zhou Donghuang had then left, while requesting Luo Wuchen to update him at the Lightning Sword Sect if Luo Qinghan ever returned home.
It did not take very long to teleport between the Luo family and the Lightning Sword Sect using the galaxy teleporter.
Luo Wuchen agreed profusely with Zhou Donghuang’s request and added that he would inform Zhou Donghuang once Luo Qinghan returned home so that they could plan their wedding together at once!
For some reason unbeknownst to even himself, Zhou Donghuang found himself looking forward to this.
“The Tielao planet has three premier sects… but, be it our Lightning Sword Sect, or the Thunder Knife Sect, or even the Xuanyuan Sect, I have asked people to find out, but there has been no Luo Qinghan among the new group of disciples,” said He Mengqi.
“I’ve also sent people to search in the neighboring countries around the Tielao planet, and I should be receiving news soon… as for the other faraway planets, I asked my father to send people to find out as well, but that will take some time before there is any news.”
“Mm.” Zhou Donghuang nodded.
“Little Brother… that Luo Qinghan, from her name, should be a lady?” asked He Mengxi.
“Mm.”
“Who is she?” He Mengxi looked again at Zhou Donghuang, her gaze filled with suspicion.
She had expected Zhou Donghuang to be too shy to reply, but Zhou Donghuang was not only not shy about the matter, but even replied without a second thought, “My woman.”
Zhou Donghuang’s firm answer puzzled He Mengxi, such that she no longer knew how to continue. Finally, she changed the topic and a.s.sured him, “Don’t worry, my father has already sent people to check, so we should have news on her soon enough.”
As she spoke, He Mengxi seemed to remember something and asked, “Da Zhuang, is he still training?”
“Mm.” Hearing He Mengxi mention Da Zhuang, Zhou Donghuang’s lips curled into a slight smile. Da Zhuang was most definitely the most hardworking person he had seen in both his previous and present life.
After realizing that he would have the chance of avenging the deaths of the apes which had taken care of him previously, Da Zhuang had begun to train like a crazed man, working harder than anyone else.
Even Zhou Donghuang could see Da Zhuang’s determination to avenge the deaths of those apes.
“Hasn’t he already reached the mid Dharma stage? Shouldn’t he take a break?” He Mengxi was also shocked because on every occasion that she had visited him recently, Da Zhuang had always been practicing, regardless of whether he had reached the mid Dharma stage or not.
“Is this really alright?” He Mengxi was worried about Da Zhuang.
How could she not understand Da Zhuang’s intentions? Da Zhuang had always wanted to take revenge for the group of apes that had taken care of him as a child, but his chances had always been slim, so Da Zhuang had looked down on himself in the past.
Now that the opportunity lay before him, Da Zhuang was afraid that he would miss this chance, and so had been practicing as if his life depended on it.
“Third Sister, don’t worry,” Zhou Donghuang shook his head and replied. “For most people, practicing like this will surely lead to a poor outcome… but for Da Zhuang, he has the help of the elixirs that I produced to aid his practice, so there will be no problem for him.”
Zhou Donghuang was absolutely clear about the elixirs that he had produced and their effect on Da Zhuang, such that regardless of how much he practiced, it would not take a toll on his body.
“Mm.” He Mengxi fully believed Zhou Donghuang’s words. Since getting to know this little brother, he had brought her countless surprises time and again.
“Little Brother, I’ll go and practice too.” As if she had been inspired by Da Zhuang’s determination, He Mengxi left after chatting for a short while with Zhou Donghuang.
After she left, Zhou Donghuang also prepared to return to his room to practice.
“Zhou Donghuang! Zhou Donghuang!”
Before he could return to his room, Zhou Donghuang heard an excited voice from behind him.
“My little girl is here… together with her are some of the other female disciples from her sect, they all look stunning. Based on your handsome looks and your martial arts talent, you can definitely take their fancy… what a brother I am. I came to find you immediately with this good news.”
This was none other than the only son of the Head of the Spring Valley, Liu Lang, the notorious playboy of the Lightning Sword Sect.
As for the little girl that he mentioned, it was simply a lady disciple from a small neighboring sect. This playboy changed partners many times a year.
However, Zhou Donghuang paid no attention to Liu Lang and returned straight to his room and shut the door without a word.
Liu Lang was not surprised by this, muttering to himself, “What a bother… this lad seems to have no interest in anything. What must I do to become his friend?”
Liu Lang struggled to find an answer.
Since Zhou Donghuang defeated the Thunder Knife Sect disciple, Han Yuzheng with a single blow two months ago in the outer sect arena, Liu Lang had been heading to the Autumn Valley more often.
Every time he came, he pulled a new trick to get closer to Zhou Donghuang and become his friend.
However, Zhou Donghuang paid no attention to him at all.
If it were anybody else, even if they were uninterested, they would also show Liu Lang some face on account of his position as the sole son of the Head of the Spring Valley, Liu Fenggu.
But Zhou Donghuang paid him no respect at all!
“It’s still a little too slow… the second Dharma power has only just reached the mid Dharma stage.”
Sitting cross-legged on the mattress, Zhou Donghuang took a look at the green dragon of Dharma power that had just reached the mid Dharma stage following the white tiger and sighed heavily.
Of course, he also knew that this was the fastest speed possible.
All things had a limit.
Now, Zhou Donghuang’s progress was already nearing the limit, and if he continued to progress further, both his inner core and his body would not be able to take it.
…
The Ziji planet was a planet in the Hengliu galaxy and had a similar level of resources as the Tielao planet where the Lightning Sword Sect was.
The Tielao planet had three supreme sects, while the Ziji planet had just two main sects.
“Qinghan, you are so talented… we entered the sect together, but you are now an inner disciple, while I am still an outer disciple,” in the market of the Ultimate Frost Sect, one of the two supreme sects of the Ziji planet, a tall pretty lady exclaimed to another lady beside her.
The other lady was even more beautiful than the one who had spoken, her body long and elegant as if there were no imperfections at all.
This was none other than Luo Qinghan, who had entered the Ultimate Frost Sect a year ago.
A year ago, Luo Qinghan and some other talented adepts from the Tianxuan planet of the Luohe galaxy had been brought to the Hengliu galaxy after being scouted by an alliance formed by the great sects of the Hengliu galaxy.
As a female, Luo Qinghan had been accepted by the Ultimate Frost Sect.
The Ultimate Frost Sect had a proportion of nine female disciples to each male disciple.
However, even then, Luo Qinghan’s extreme beauty caused her to become the subject of interest of many male disciples in the sect.
Luo Qinghan had been widely acknowledged to be the most beautiful lady in the sect.
“I’m just lucky.” Luo Qinghan smiled slightly.
Normally, one had to reach the Dharma stage before the age of thirty to be able to enter the inner sect of the Ultimate Frost Sect.
However, the Ultimate Frost Sect had also set up a test for the Golden Essence disciples within the sect who were younger than thirty years of age, and whoever pa.s.sed the test would be able to enter the inner sect earlier and become an inner sect disciple and enjoy its privileges.
Of course, after these people became inner sect disciples, if they did not reach the Dharma stage by the time they reached thirty years of age, they would also be kicked out of the inner sect.
The inner sect of the Ultimate Frost Sect was not a place for worthless disciples.
This was similar to the Lightning Sword Sect in this aspect.
In fact, most of the supreme sects of the Hengliu galaxy all used the same methods.
“Qinghan, since you’ve entered the sect, you haven’t gone home once… when do you plan to go back?”
The girl beside Luo Qinghan smiled and said, “Actually, I haven’t been home in a long time too… when you want to go back, let’s go to the nearest teleporter nearby.”
“I don’t plan to go back for now,” replied Luo Qinghan with a shake of her head.
However, after the other lady had left, on her way back to the inner sect, Luo Qinghan’s lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
“You think I don’t know your ulterior motives for getting closer to me?”
After being tricked once, Luo Qinghan had been extremely cautious.
Although that outer sect disciple had entered the Ultimate Frost Sect at the same time as her, they two of them had not been close initially, and she had only begun to try to get closer to Luo Qinghan recently.
After confirming that the other lady had not discovered her tracks, Luo Qinghan then left the Ultimate Frost Sect, her eyes filled with longing and excitement. “I haven’t been home in so long… who knows if Father and Granny are well.”
