Might you already have someone in your heart, female benefactor?

Then, Chen Changqing didn't hesitate and drew his Rainbow Sword.

Come here!

He gave Hua Yao a wink.

Hua Yao paused for a moment, then moved closer to Chen Changqing with a slightly shy expression.

Then, Chen Changqing grabbed Hua Yao's slender waist, lightly touched the ground with his feet, and leaped onto the sword's edge.

On the other side, the Little Black Dog Wangcai had finished devouring Fan Lao's corpse. With a flick of its body, it flew and landed on Chen Changqing's shoulder.

As soon as it landed, it lowered its head, closed its eyes, and began to refine Fan Lao's flesh and blood corpse.

Immediately afterwards, a crimson Sword Light shot up from the bottom of the valley and then slashed towards the direction where the Dao Sect was located.

Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

At this moment, Chen Changqing arrived at a small town with Hua Yao and the Little Black Dog.

After several days of travel, Hua Yao appeared exhausted, while Chen Changqing remained full of energy.

Xunjia Tavern to rest for a while!

Chen Changqing smiled and looked at Hua Yao.

"Um."

"I'll do whatever Brother Changqing says."

Soon, Chen Changqing brought Hua Yao and the Little Black Dog to a tavern.

The waiter greeted the customers warmly upon their arrival.

After taking his seat, Chen Changqing casually ordered some food and drinks and then waited.

"Brother Changqing, thank you so much this time."

"If I hadn't met you, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of those Demon Sect disciples."

"You even took me with you to the Dao Sect, you're so kind."

Hua Yao said with a grateful expression.

Chen Changqing smiled slightly and said calmly:

"It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"After a short rest, we'll continue our journey."

Hua Yao nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Before long, the waiter brought out the wine and dishes.

Just as Chen Changqing was about to let Hua Yao start eating, a figure suddenly walked over from not far away.

"Donor Li Feiyu!!"

The newcomer was a bald, pot-bellied monk who shouted excitedly.

Upon approaching, the monk made no attempt to stand on ceremony and sat down directly at Chen Changqing's table.

Upon seeing the fat monk, Chen Changqing was surprised. "Master Rujie?"

The monk was none other than Rujie from Heavenly Sound Temple.

Back when Chen Changqing was still in the Core Formation Realm, the two of them had fought against ghosts together.

Finally, they killed the Granny Ghost, who possessed the cultivation of Golden Core cultivator.

Chen Changqing never expected that in such a vast world, he would meet Rujie again in this small town.

"Um?"

Hua Yao glanced at Rujie, then turned her gaze to Chen Changqing.

"Li Feiyu?"

She was slightly startled and questioned:

"Senior brother, aren't you named Chen Changqing?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing looked slightly embarrassed, glanced at Rujie, and explained:

"Cough cough!"

"Master Rujie, my real name is Chen Changqing."

"Li Feiyu is merely an alias used by those who travel the martial arts world."

At this point, Chen Changqing paused slightly, then added:

"As you all know, when you're traveling, it's inevitable to make enemies. It's better to use an alias."

After hearing what Chen Changqing said, Rujie didn't pay any attention, put his hands together, and began chanting Buddhist mantras:

"Amitabha Buddha!"

It's alright.

"I never expected to meet Benefactor Li... Chen again here."

"It seems we are truly destined to be together!"

Chen Changqing smiled faintly, just about to ask something, Rujie Rujie's gaze suddenly shifted and stared straight at Hua Yao.

"Ah?"

Suddenly being scrutinized like that by Rujie, Hua Yao seemed somewhat flustered and stammered:

"Master, why... why are you looking at me like that?"

For some reason, Hua Yao always felt that Rujie was not very proper. Although he was wearing monk's robes, the way he looked at her seemed somewhat offensive.

Just as Hua Yao was at a loss, Rujie chuckled and said:

"This female benefactor, my Buddhist name Rujie, and I am a monk from Heavenly Sound Temple."

He is twenty years old, kind to others, and unmarried.

As Rujie finished speaking, Hua Yao was immediately stunned.

Indeed, what Rujie said was far too strange.

It sounds like I'm being asked to go on a blind date.

Before Hua Yao could react, Rujie asked again:

"Does the lady have someone she loves?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yao quickly snapped out of her daze, her cheeks flushing red, and she felt completely at a loss.

Just then, Chen Changqing coughed lightly twice.

"Cough cough..."

Hua Yao didn't know this, but he knew very well.

Despite his monk-like appearance, Rujie is actually an extremely dissolute and unorthodox monk who indulges in drinking and eating meat.

"Master Rujie."

How did you end up here?

"Could it be that some kind of evil spirit is causing trouble around here?"

Chen Changqing quickly came to Hua Yao's rescue.

Rujie paused for a moment, then shifted his gaze from Hua Yao and replied:

"No, no."

"This humble monk is on my master's orders to travel to the Dao Sect."

"Dao Sect?"

Chen Changqing exclaimed in surprise and pressed for an answer:

"So, Master Rujie is heading to the Universe Secret Realm of the Dao Sect?"

Rujie hearing this, Ru Jie was startled and quickly said:

"How?"

"Is Benefactor Chen also heading to the Universe Secret Realm?"

Chen Changqing nodded and replied:

"I'm going to the Universe Secret Realm."

"This is Miss Hua Yao, a disciple of Medicine God Valley. She's passing by and will be making a stop at the Dao Sect."

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Rujie was overjoyed and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"That's great!"

"It's perfect that we go together; it'll be good to look out for each other on the way."

"Once we get to the Universe Secret Realm, there will be many areas where we'll need to rely on you, Senior Brother Chen!"

As he said this, Rujie gave Chen Changqing a wink.

He had witnessed Chen Changqing's strength firsthand.

Back in another small town, Ru Jie had already noticed Chen Changqing's extraordinary abilities, Rujie took the initiative to approach him, wanting him to help deal with the ghosts.

Later, within that barrier, they encountered Ghost General Granny Ghost general equivalent to Human Race Golden Core Realm cultivator.

At that time, both Chen Changqing and he were only at the Core Formation stage.

In the end, it was Chen Changqing who made the move and killed Granny Ghost.

According to Rujie, Chen Changqing is also going to enter the Universe Secret Realm, and there might be a possibility that they can cooperate then.

Chen Changqing had no objection to what Rujie said.

This Rujie, Rujie, may seem a bit unconventional, but he does possess a righteous heart and is quite an interesting person.

On the contrary, Hua Yao seemed somewhat reluctant when she heard that Rujie wanted to travel with them.

"Benefactor Hua Yao!"

"We'll have to look out for each other during our trip together!"

As he spoke, Rujie looked at Hua Yao with a grin.

Seeing Rujie's excited expression, Hua Yao quickly looked away and muttered, "I don't want to help you!"

Afterwards, the three people and their dog ate and drank for a while, rested at the tavern, and then set off on their journey.
