Both Ye Family Bloodline and Qiu Family Bloodline
"Okay, Master, where are we going now?"
Tang Yu stood up again, focusing on the issue that concerned her most.
This woman said she wanted to find a good place to break through her limitations, and he wanted to know what a good place was.
He would absolutely refuse to cultivate in a place like a girls' dormitory, where it would easily disrupt his concentration.
Qiu Xiaozhu stood there, frowning and deep in thought.
After a moment's thought, she muttered to herself, "Forget about these three places; they're all a bit too dangerous and could be fatal."
"..."
Tang Yu was already thinking about running away; the Nine Heavens Alliance was blind and worthless, so he might as well leave them behind!
"I've actually thought of a good place. Come with me, but before we go, come to my place first. I'll leave the cleaning there to you from now on."
Qiu Xiaozhu had just heard this guy say he wanted to be her slave, so it wouldn't be right to let him off so easily.
Tang Yu silently followed behind Qiu Xiaozhu, intending to catch a few rats to scare this vengeful master as revenge.
Qiu Xiaozhu did not live on the inner side of the gate, but lived in a small valley.
The valley is quiet and the scenery is extremely beautiful, covered with all kinds of unknown wildflowers.
Her small courtyard was nestled amidst a sea of flowers. Tang Yu followed her inside and discovered that the house was a mess, clearly never having been tidied up.
Tang Yu even saw Qiu Xiaozhu's underwear on the bed.
"This is where I live. I'm usually too busy to clean it, so I'll have to trouble you from now on."
Qiu Xiaozhu couldn't help but blush slightly as she spoke. She was still a bit too thin-skinned for Tang Yu, who was shameless, and lying made her feel somewhat embarrassed.
The main problem is that she doesn't really like tidying up; she finds it troublesome and would rather spend that time fishing or relaxing.
Anyway, in this boring place called the Nine Heavens Alliance, her biggest interest was just spacing out and being a couch potato.
"OK."
Tang Yu nodded. The room wasn't very big, so tidying it up wouldn't be a problem.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the cultivation area. You can go there and cultivate in seclusion."
Qiu Xiaozhu then led Tang Yu away from her residence, and after walking for a while, the two entered a large bamboo forest.
After walking behind Qiu Xiaozhu for a while, Tang Yu couldn't help but ask.
"Master, why hasn't the Nine Heavens Alliance considered having more contact with the outside world? You've made this place too closed off, like a modern version of The Peach Blossom."
I chatted with the disciples of the Nine Heavens Alliance these past couple of days.
Tang Yu then realized that the lockdown here was more severe than he had imagined.
Many members of the Qiu Family have lived their entire lives here without ever leaving, seemingly with a natural aversion to the outside world.
"The outside world isn't necessarily a good thing."
Qiu Xiaozhu said calmly.
Tang Yu hummed in agreement, glancing at Qiu Xiaozhu's world-weary face, and felt an urge to pinch it a few times.
Like the old woman from the Divine Tree, she's strangely cute.
As Tang Yu walked, he heard the sound of flowing water ahead. After passing through the bamboo forest, he saw the familiar waterfall and Ye Qiu sitting cross-legged under the waterfall, meditating ascetic.
[I'm blanching it, autumn!]
[Why is this guy cultivating here?]
[I get it, he was sent here to be punished, so so should I be?]
Tang Yu immediately stared wide-eyed at Qiu Xiaozhu.
Qiu Xiaozhu tidied up a few stray strands of hair that had fallen across her forehead and nodded.
"From today onwards, you will cultivate here, just like him, twelve hours a day will suffice."
She paused, then added.
"Don't worry, I'm doing this for your own good. If you're really too tired to continue, you can come out and rest for a while. I believe you'll understand my good intentions after some time."
"Thank you for your dedicated guidance, Master."
Tang Yu forced a smile.
"Go quickly. From now on, come to my place to clean every afternoon at two o'clock, and also go and call that guy over here."
After making clear arrangements for Tang Yu, Qiu Xiaozhu turned around and walked to the edge of the bamboo forest to wait, her eyes becoming somewhat complicated.
Tang Yu walked reluctantly to the water's edge, and when she saw Ye Qiu sitting naked in the water, she almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This thing is so small, it looks like a peanut!
Then he remembered that it was because he had secretly modified this guy's cultivation method that caused this.
So he quickly expressed his happiness for Ye Qiu.
This way, he can put aside women and focus on cultivation, which can be described as a blessing in disguise.
Women should just handle these kinds of troublesome matters themselves. Lust is a dangerous thing; if I don't get hurt, who will?!
After Tang Yu arrived, Ye Qiu keenly noticed Tang Yu's gaze, and his expression instantly darkened.
What are you doing?
He deliberately raised his legs to block his little brother from being seen by the guy.
"Greetings, Senior Brother. The Holy Maiden sent me here to cultivate, and then asked me to call you to come and find her."
Tang Yu calmly pointed to Qiu Xiaozhu in the distance.
Ye Qiu looked in the direction Tang Yu pointed and froze on the spot.
After a while, he silently jumped from the waterfall to the shore, grabbed a towel to dry himself off, and began to put on his clothes.
Seeing Ye Qiu go to find Qiu Xiaozhu, Tang Yu vaguely sensed something.
However, he couldn't find a small animal to eavesdrop on, so he had to give up this opportunity and choose to take off his clothes and crawl under the waterfall to cultivate.
After squatting on the ground for a while, Qiu Xiaozhu slowly stood up when she saw Ye Qiu arrive, her expression complicated.
"You're Ye Qiu?"
Hello, Auntie.
Ye Qiu's voice instantly became a little hoarse, and his eyes even turned slightly red.
After Ye Qiu called her "Auntie" and she came out.
Qiu Xiaozhu paused for a moment, then said in a complicated tone.
"I heard from the Second Elder that a new disciple named Ye Qiu had arrived, and he was very satisfied with him. At the time, I had a suspicion that it was you. I never expected it to actually be you. Weren't you already dead back then?"
Ye Qiu is not only a descendant of the Ye Family, but also a descendant of the Qiu Family!
Because his mother was the previous Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Alliance and also his older sister, Ye Qiu called her Aunt.
But because of that bastard Ye Family's vicious plan back then.
The two companies have ultimately reached this point.
The Nine Heavens Alliance suffered a severe blow and has yet to recover.
The Ye Family, once the most prominent family in Yanjing, was reduced to the point of being wiped out.
Only that old monster fled overseas, and to this day he dares not and cannot return to his country.
"I thought I was going to die, but a retainer of the Ye Family risked his life to take me away and save my life. If it weren't for that old retainer raising me, I would have been a ghost long ago."
Ye Qiu slumped to the ground, his eyes reddening, and the lie he had rehearsed countless times in his mind came out of his mouth.
"After the old elder died, I met my master. If it weren't for him, I would never have known where the Nine Heavens Alliance was, nor would I have ever met you, Auntie."
Qiu Xiaozhu's eyes reddened.
She and her sister had a very deep relationship back then, but she never expected that her sister would choose to betray the Qiu Family for the man she loved.
After the Ye Family was eventually destroyed, according to the rules of the Nine Heavens Alliance, her act of betrayal as a Holy Maiden naturally led to her death.
My sister has no regrets about it.
After drinking the poisoned wine, she held her own hand on her deathbed and said that the child was innocent and hoped that she could take care of her only bloodline in the future.
Qiu Xiaozhu had considered finding the child when the Ye Family was on its last breath.
But the Qiu Family would not allow it, and in the end, she could only hear the news of the Ye Family being wiped out, and she carried a heavy sense of guilt for many years.
