Chapter 1416: Chapter 857: Star-crossed Lovers, The Daoist of Five Treasures’ Request (Happy New Year)

”Mr. Lu, just a little further ahead, we’ll reach the sect where I was born.”

Above the sky, several figures were slowly flying, and the two at the front were Lu Qing and the Five Treasure Taoist.

This time, only Little Yan and Little Li followed along, while Qin Zheng and the others, still digesting their insights, remained in seclusion in the Cave Mansion.

At this moment, the Five Treasure Taoist was pointing ahead, speaking to Lu Qing.

Lu Qing looked forward, seeing an area ahead where the land was a Spirit Mountain Blessed Land with rich spiritual charm.

Within were floating clouds and waterfalls, with Spirit Peaks standing tall.

Immortal cranes and spirit birds flew between the mountains, the spirit trees were dense, making it all a delightful sight.

”It seems the sect the Daoist resides in is not weak, being able to occupy such a large Spiritual Charm Blessed Land,” Lu Qing said somewhat surprised.

To know, although the Heavenly Origin Great World is vast and incredibly resource-rich.

Similarly, as a Great World where the Immortal Cultivation prosperity has existed for unknown eons, the competition is extremely fierce.

Most Blessed Lands, over the long ages, already have owners.

That the sect of the Five Treasure Taoist can occupy such a large Spiritual Charm Blessed Land, it can be inferred their power is certainly large.

”I wouldn’t dare say that; the sect I’m from can only be considered a second-rate force in the Heavenly Origin Great World, barely comparable to the lowest among the Thirty-Six Upper Clans.”

Speaking of his sect, the expression of the Five Treasure Taoist was quite complex.

There was pride, but there seemed to be hatred as well; it’s unknown what he had gone through there.

”Daoist, since we’re here, you should be ready; what do you want me to help you with?” Lu Qing asked.

The Five Treasure Taoist hesitated for a moment, finally seemed to have made a decision, and said, ”Actually, it’s nothing else; I want to ask Mr. Lu to help me kill someone!”

”Oh?” Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, ”Who do you need killed?”

”The Young Sect Leader of our sect, also our Sect Leader’s only son, Shao Sida!”

The Five Treasure Taoist said this almost word by word, with his tone filled with hatred.

It seemed that just saying that name could give rise to countless grievances in his heart.

The killing intent in his words shocked even Little Yan and Little Li.

It was the first time they saw the Five Treasure Taoist like this; could this still be the always cheerful fat Taoist?

”The Young Sect Leader of your sect?” Lu Qing was even more surprised, ”What hatred or enmity does he have with you, for you to have such a killing intent toward him?”

The Five Treasure Taoist’s character was something Lu Qing understood somewhat.

He usually treated everyone very peacefully, hardly ever getting angry, considered to have a very good temper.

Despite being shrewd and not simple-minded, he was quite principled, or Lu Qing wouldn’t have become friends with him.

To make such a person harbor such hatred, it certainly must have been due to something very serious.

”Actually, to put it simply, it’s just a very ordinary thing; don’t laugh at me, Mr. Lu, but it’s for a woman, though she’s the most important woman in my life.”

The Five Treasure Taoist said with a bitter expression.

Lu Qing said nothing, but waited quietly for him to continue.

The Five Treasure Taoist seemed to sink into memories, revealing a story long buried in his heart.

Above the sky, the Celestial Gale roared, brushing past the slightly chubby frame of the Five Treasure Taoist, but it could not disperse the bitter and somber look on his face.

The Spirit Mountain Blessed Land beneath their feet became clearer, and concealed among the Spirit Peaks were orderly Daoist temples. The green-tiled flying eaves glistened with a gentle sheen under the sunlight. When the Immortal Cranes circled and let out a few clear cries, it made this land seem even more ethereal and sacred.

But this scene, full of immortal charm to the eyes of others, seemed to the Five Treasure Taoist like sharp blades quenched in ice, each glance adding a bit more pain to his heart.

He slowly looked away, lowering his head to brush over the Taiji patterns embroidered on his sleeve, which had already been worn at the edges, mended by his junior sister years ago.

Upon touching those coarse stitches, the Five Treasure Taoist’s voice finally sounded again, carrying a slight tremble, as if afraid of disturbing that gentle past hidden in time.

”Her name is Yun Shu, an orphan my master picked up during his early travels, and she entered the sect three years after me.”

The Five Treasure Taoist’s gaze drifted into the distance, as if through layers of clouds, he saw the scenes of decades ago.

Back then, he was just a little Taoist boy who had just entered the mountain gate. With mediocre talent, his cultivation progress always lagged behind his peers, and coupled with his round and plump stature, he was often teased by his senior brothers.

Only Yun Shu, the little girl who held onto their master’s clothing timidly upon arriving, would quietly hand him a sweet Spirit Fruit when he was being laughed at.

”Master said she had extraordinary root bone, a once-in-a-million prodigy in the path of Cultivation, and thus took her under his wing, making her my junior sister.”

From then on, the two were inseparable.

During the sect’s morning classes, he always struggled to get up, and Yun Shu would stand early outside his door, calling ”Senior Brother” in her clear voice.

When facing cultivation bottlenecks, staring frustratedly at the Cultivation Technique, Yun Shu would sit by his side, patiently helping him sort through the complexities, sharing her insights one by one.

Even during training trips down the mountain, the two always journeyed together.

Though his talent was average, he was always thoughtful, knowing how to avoid danger ahead of time.

While Yun Shu, with her outstanding Cultivation, protected him through dangerous situations time and again.
