Baili Qiushui: Young Master Lu Was Her Long-Lost Dearest Friend and Family!!

Baili Mingyue finally came to her senses at this moment.

She suddenly realized what she had just done, and her fair face instantly turned as red as if it were about to bleed, the redness spreading from her cheeks to her ears, and then burning up to her neck.

Her eyes quickly became empty and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul, her face filled with doubt about life and a sense of despair.

This world should just be destroyed...

Suddenly, the previously quiet atmosphere became even more awkward and unsettling.

Su Jinxuan pursed her lips and looked away, while Jiang Shiqing and Liu Yaoyao wisely remained silent.

Baili Qiushui blushed slightly, knowing she couldn't count on this girl. She forced a dry laugh to smooth things over, "Young Master Lu, this is my disciple, Baili Mingyue. She's rather shy..."

At this point, she paused, unable to continue.

Shy...

Would a shy person stare at someone like that?!

I even saw them swallowing their saliva!

That's absolutely insane!

Baili Qiushui gave a dry laugh, managing to smooth things over. "Mingyue rarely goes out and hasn't seen many male cultivators. And you, young master, are exceptionally handsome, so... Mingyue was a little out of line. I'm truly sorry."

Lu Yang glanced at Baili Mingyue, who was standing motionless behind Baili Qiushui, looking completely broken, and his lips twitched slightly.

He actually wanted to laugh, but he felt that if he did, the socially awkward Golden Core Realm female cultivator would probably break down on the spot.

So he forced himself to stay calm.

It has to be said that it's a bit difficult to stay calm when faced with something like this.

He smiled slightly, his tone gentle and frank. "It's alright. This... Aunt Mingyue is innocent and simple-minded, quite interesting indeed. I don't mind."

Hearing this, Baili Qiushui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried about angering this distinguished and extraordinary Young Master Lu.

Despite being a grandmaster of Formation Dao and a supreme elder of the Mystic Mystery Palace, he has a certain reputation in several nearby major states such as Qin Province, You Province, and Jing Province.

But she truly lacked confidence in the face of this wealthy young man.

Fortunately, this Young Master Lu is gentle and a good person.

Baili Qiushui was even touched for a moment.

Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Baili Mingyue's previously empty and lifeless eyes gradually regained a glimmer of light.

It's good that you didn't pay attention...

Then I won't destroy the world...

Sure enough, such a handsome young man is kind at heart.

Even when facing a female cultivator as insignificant as dust, he could be so tolerant and gentle.

Baili Mingyue glanced at Lu Yang again, then quickly lowered her head, as if she had done something shameful. She moved her feet lightly and quickly shrank back behind her master.

A woman as lowly as herself should stop looking at the young master with her filthy eyes.

Fortunately, she had already memorized the young master's appearance beforehand, remembering every detail clearly.

I can easily access those memories later!

A secret joy welled up in Baili Mingyue's heart.

If you ever encounter difficulties in comprehending the Formation Dao and the Heavenly Dao, just look at this young master and relax!

Hopefully, this young master will be magnanimous and won't mind that such a lowly woman is using his looks to do this kind of thing...

While Baili Mingyue was lost in thought, Lu Yang looked at Su Jinxuan and asked curiously, "Elder Su, what brings you three here...?"

Su Jinxuan explained, "Qiushui needs to scout the terrain before she can create an array for the forbidden area. I'm taking Qiushui and Mingyue with me to check it out now."

Lu Yang suddenly understood, then nodded and smiled at Baili Qiushui, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Baili."

Baili Qiushui quickly waved his hand, his tone sincere and humble. "Young Master Lu, you're too kind. Since I've already accepted this job, it's simply my duty. It's not hard work at all."

At this point, Baili Qiushui suddenly stopped.

She hesitated for a moment, a shy expression appearing on her scholarly face. Finally, she gritted her teeth, looked at Lu Yang, and cupped her hands, saying, "Young Master Lu, Qiushui has a favor to ask."

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled. "Senior Qiushui, what can I do for you? Please speak freely."

Baili Qiushui pursed her red lips, her voice tinged with nervousness and anticipation. "It's like this... The other day I saw that the array patterns on your dragon chariot were exceptionally mysterious, and I've been itching to study them ever since. I was thinking... if you don't mind, could my disciple and I examine the array on that ancient chariot together?"

At this point, Baili Qiushui quickly added, "We won't just watch for nothing! If you need us to set up an array, we, master and disciple, will do our utmost to help you, and we'll even provide the materials needed for it ourselves!"

Lu Yang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

He had originally planned to find an opportunity to talk to Baili Qiushui about the protective formation of Eastward Prospect Mountain.

After all, the concentration of Spiritual Qi in Eastward Prospect Mountain is getting higher and higher. Although Wang Ershi and the others are guarding it, it's still a bit inadequate without a sect-protecting formation.

However, Baili Qiushui is currently focused on setting up the forbidden area array of the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, so he probably won't have time to spare.

Therefore, he planned to tell Baili Qiushui about this after she finished setting up the forbidden area's grand formation.

Unexpectedly, Baili Qiushui brought up the matter himself.

Moreover, both Baili Qiushui and Baili Mingyue meet the system's criteria for female beauties.

You'll receive a favorability reward simply by adding friends.

In that case, wouldn't this be killing two birds with one stone?

Lu Yang immediately chuckled and said, "So that's what it is. Of course, no problem. Senior Qiushui and Junior Nephew Mingyue can go and study it anytime. That ancient carriage is parked on the summit of my mountain."

Upon hearing this, Baili Qiushui's eyes lit up, and her pretty face lit up with barely suppressed joy. She quickly cupped her hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Young Master Lu!"

She hadn't expected it to go so smoothly!

This Young Master Lu is truly generous!

These are array patterns on Supreme-Grade Spirit Treasure!

Moreover, the array patterns on it looked much more profound than those on ordinary Spirit Treasures!

If she could understand its mysteries, it would be of great help to her Formation Dao and even her cultivation!

If she, a grandmaster of Formation Dao, is treated this way, then what about her foolish disciple who is only at the Early Golden Core!

This was an incredible fortuitous opportunity for both of them, master and apprentice!

Upon hearing about the array patterns, Baili Mingyue, who was standing behind Baili Qiushui, lost some of her initial timidity.

Seeing that Lu Yang had agreed, a glimmer of anticipation and excitement flashed in her large, dark eyes.

Her previously timid face brightened considerably, and she even mustered the courage to steal another glance at Lu Yang.

Hmm... it's so beautiful!

Lu Yang smiled slightly and said, "In that case, Senior Qiushui, Martial Aunt Mingyue, how about we exchange a sound transmission mark? After you finish studying the array patterns on this Nine Splendors Cloud Chariot, I'll see if I can find other similar array patterns for you."

Upon hearing this, Baili Qiushui's eyes reddened.

She felt that this Young Master Lu was hardly the gentle young master she expected.

They were practically her long-lost best friends and relatives!!

This level of formation is so powerful that ordinary people can't even catch a glimpse of it, yet Young Master Lu intends to show them even more?!

Where in the world can you find such a kind person?

Only someone as ethereal as Young Master Lu could be so generous as to show them such fine things, right?

The Baili Mingyue is even more moving than the Baili Qiushui.

This Young Master Lu didn't mind her staring at him like that earlier, but now he's actually willing to show her this level of array patterns?!

So dazzling!

This young master is absolutely radiant!

Even a humble being like her, hiding in a dark corner, was illuminated by that light!

She even felt as if she had been purified by light, and her whole body felt light and airy.

Want to be this young master's favorite... um...

Baili Mingyue quickly lowered her head, and a blush returned to her face, which had just recovered.

How could a woman as lowly as myself have any connection with a young master like him?

That's too greedy!

The fact that Young Master Lu was willing to exchange telepathic marks with her was already an immense favor to her.

I should even kneel down and express my gratitude!

Baili Mingyue's legs went weak for a moment.

But seeing his master in front of him, he gritted his teeth and forcibly controlled himself.

I cannot disgrace my master. I have already disgraced him once; I cannot disgrace him a second time!

Seeing that Lu Yang was planning to exchange telepathic marks with his friend and his friend's silly disciple, Su Jinxuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

Knowing Lu Yang as she did, could this guy... possibly have taken a liking to her friend and his apprentice?

Su Jinxuan glanced at Lu Yang, who had a gentle smile, and couldn't help but transmit her Sound Dao, "... Young Master Lu, Qiushui is a bit silly, and Mingyue has a tragic past, which is why she's so introverted... You mustn't bully them."

Lu Yang: "????"

He looked completely bewildered.

How did I bully them?

He turned to look at Su Jinxuan and innocently Sound Dao, "I didn't bully them. I just wanted to show them the formation."

Su Jinxuan transmitted her Sound Dao: "... With your lecherous nature, who among those people on your mountain peak, and even the headmaster and his brothers, doesn't know?"

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly.

Well, my image in the eyes of the sect's higher-ups is probably already fixed.

He didn't deny it, but replied with a half-smile, "I'm not the kind of person who would bully female cultivators. If Elder Su is worried about them, just keep an eye on me, okay? Or, why don't you come and stay on my mountain peak?"

Su Jinxuan: "..."

She gave Lu Yang a disapproving look, a slight smile playing on her red lips, "Never mind."

Lu Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Su Jinxuan's favorability rating was only 72 at the moment. It was definitely unrealistic to expect her to live on his mountain peak.

Lu Yang was just joking and said it casually.

He stopped communicating with Su Jinxuan telepathically, and instead took out Sound Transmission Jade Token, smiling slightly, "In that case, let's exchange telepathic tokens!"

Lu Yang was filled with anticipation.

This master and disciple pair, one at the Nascent Soul Realm and the other at the Golden Core Realm, should get pretty good rewards for adding each other as friends.
