The stars hang at night.
Li Zhōujūn was sitting fishing by the small fish pond he dug in the yard, reaching a state of selflessness.
But suddenly a burst of fragrance floated from Chu Gecqing's yard and entered Li Zhōujūn's nose.
Li Zhōujūn slapped his forehead. "I almost forgot that Chu Gecqing made an appointment with me."
After saying that, Li Zhōujūn quickly put away his fishing gear and walked towards Chu Gecqing's yard on the other side of Lingquan.
As soon as we arrived outside the Chu Gecqing yard, the smell of roasted chicken became even stronger.
"Elder Li, you're here, I thought you were going to break your promise." Chu Gecqing leaned on the courtyard gate and laughed at Li Zhōujūn.
"That's not the case. Li Mou usually doesn't break its promise." Li Zhōujūn said with a smile, "By the way, how did Sister Menglan and the others do in the assessment?"
Chu Gecqing nodded. "Meng Lan's talent is pretty good, and he can look forward to a promising future by practicing at the Tianhai Academy. The other two, Hu Manrong and Nan Sisi, can only be said to have acceptable talents."
"That's okay." Li Zhōujūn nodded.
Chu Gecqing said with some curiosity, "You know that three years later, Tianhai Academy's underground secret realm will be opened, and many eighth-level Daoist masters will come to compete for opportunities. By then, Tianhai Academy will definitely face a crisis due to the residual power generated by the fight between many eighth-level Daoist masters. Why do you still want your sister Meng Lan to join Tianhai Academy's practice?"
"It's okay." Li Zhōujūn smiled.
"I don't understand you." Chu Gecqing shook his head and smiled, "But no matter what, I want to thank you for saving me."
"Nothing." Li Zhōujūn said.
"Can I ask how Chu Shengduan is doing now?" Chu Gecqing asked Li Zhōujūn curiously.
Li Zhōujūn thought of the scene of Chu Shengduan beating Zhang Ziqiang on the chest and said with a smile, "He is very good. He is probably still exercising now."
"Exercise?" Chu Gecqing looked confused.
"Yeah." Li Zhōujūn nodded and asked impatiently, "How's the roast chicken going?"
"It's okay. I've researched a lot of flavors, including spicy and non-spicy, sour and sweet, bitter and salty, in addition to apple and banana flavors, and..." Chu Gecqing introduced it enthusiastically.
Li Zhōujūn's scalp feels numb after listening to it.
But it can be seen that Chu Gecqing is very careful.
"Okay, I have introduced so much, let's come in and eat first." Chu Gecqing smiled at Li Zhōujūn.
Li Zhōujūn bit the bullet and nodded. "Okay."
After entering the yard, Li Zhōujūn saw a long table in the yard, and the plates on the table were filled with various types of roast chicken.
Li Zhōujūn picked up a roast chicken covered in unknown sauce and put it in his mouth.
"Hiss..." Li Zhōujūn's eyes showed surprise.
The roasted chicken is slightly sour in the mouth and melts in your mouth. It is followed by a sweet aftertaste, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance, which makes people feel like they are in the mountains and there is a slight breeze coming towards them.
Chu Gecqing smiled and said, "This is sour roast chicken, how about it?"
Li Zhōujūn nodded. "It's much better than I expected. It's delicious."
"Eat slowly, I will continue to bake." Chu Gecqing smiled.
"Thank you." Li Zhōujūn said.
After a while.
The roast chicken on the table was all dazzled by Li Zhōujūn.
Although these roasted chickens have a weird taste, they actually taste surprisingly delicious.
"Thank you for the hospitality." Li Zhōujūn smiled softly towards Chu Gecqing who was still roasting chicken.
"You're welcome. You saved me. I always repay a favor." Chu Gecqing said with a smile, "Do you still want to eat? I can continue to bake."
"That's enough." Li Zhōujūn shook his head, "You have to know how to eat delicious food in moderation."
"Temperance?"
Chu Gecqing looked at the empty plates on the long table and was speechless.
"By the way, there is something I want to discuss with you." Chu Gecqing said to Li Zhōujūn.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhōujūn wondered.
"The secret realm will be opened in three years. Can you join forces with me, Chu Family?"
Chu Gecqing said, "On your own, it is probably difficult to win a chance among the eighth-grade Daoist masters. Even self-preservation is a problem. But if you work with me, Chu Family, after capturing the secret realm, all the treasures inside can be given to you. Of course, the lifelong insights of the eighth-grade Daoist master must be given to us Chu Family. My father has reached the bottleneck of the eighth-grade Daoist master and urgently needs this thing."
In fact, Chu Gecqing didn't expect Li Zhōujūn to play any role at all. She wanted Li Zhōujūn and Chu Family to join forces. She just wanted to make some money with Li Zhōujūn and repay Li Zhōujūn for saving her life.
Li Zhōujūn shook his head. "I'm not interested in this secret realm."
"Are you sure?" Chu Gecqing was puzzled, "Or will the person behind you take action when the time comes?"
"Who knows, but you can rest assured. Unless something unexpected happens, I won't compete for this opportunity. Don't worry." Li Zhōujūn smiled, "But I appreciate your kindness."
"That's alright." Chu Gecqing looked at Li Zhōujūn and said helplessly, "I don't know what you think, but I don't want all the treasures I picked up for free."
Li Zhōujūn smiled and said nothing.
Three years passed quickly.
Li Zhōujūn In the past three years, I still leisurely wander around here and there, go fishing, and enjoy the roast chicken cooked by Chu Gecqing.
This night.
Tianhai Academy under the night seems to be as calm as usual, but in fact it is dark and turbulent.
Many figures came towards the Tianhai Academy in a low-key manner under the cover of night, and then hid in the void above Tianhai Academy.
In the void, there are many figures as powerful as Gods and Devils hidden at this time.
One of them was dressed in black clothes and had handsome features.
He is Chu Gecqing's father, Chu Zhenjia.
At this time, Chu Zhenjia did not act rashly.
Because he knows that in this void, there are many people like himself hiding in the Tianhai Academy underground secret realm.
Whoever moves first will be exposed first and will suffer the most.
Li Zhōujūn is fishing in the yard at this time.
[Ding: Tianhai Academy is in a storm, and the system has issued a task to protect Tianhai Academy and save Tianhai Academy from being destroyed.
The mission is completed, and the host's cultivation level breaks through the Seventh-Rank Dao Master realm.]
"Li Zhōujūn, why are you still here?" Chu Gecqing came to Li Zhōujūn's yard at this time, and looked at Li Zhōujūn who was still fishing, and said a little angrily.
"Why don't you leave?" Li Zhōujūn laughed.
"I'm ready to leave now. My mission to the Tianhai Academy has failed." Chu Gecqing said helplessly.
"What mission?" Li Zhōujūn asked curiously.
"Before many powerful people arrive, let's see if we can find the entrance to the secret realm in advance." Chu Gecqing said.
"Why did you just ask me to leave?" Li Zhōujūn asked with a smile.
"Did the person behind you really say nothing to you?
The rest of the Tianhai Academy are all Chess Piece of the eighth-grade Daoist masters."
Chu Gecqing said, "The secret realm will only appear today, but if you want to enter this secret realm, you either need a blood sacrifice from an eighth-grade Daoist master, or a sacrifice of the entire Tianhai Academy is just enough.
Do you think the eighth-level Daoist masters will choose to sacrifice themselves?
So now you hurry up and call your friends and come with me, there's still time."
