Chapter 251: All that was missing was the east wind
The old turtle raised his head, opening his half-closed eyes slightly to study the newcomers closely.
One wore a Frost-Colored Cross-Collared Ruqun. She was petite, with delicate features, sweet dimples, and a fresh, charming air.
The other wore her hair in a simple bun. Her features were dignified, and her deep-purple dress outlined her shapely figure.
From a cultivator's perspective, both girls were rather ordinary in talent, aptitude, and aura. They could hardly be called outstanding prodigies and were not even qualified to enter the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
But by human cultivators' standards of beauty, both girls undoubtedly stood out in looks, figure, and bearing. They were first-rate beauties.
"What is your relationship with Chen Beiwu?" The old turtle grew interested, his tone no longer as cold as before.
Hearing this, Xu Ziqing smiled gently. "You know Beiwu, Senior? We're his high school classmates and good friends."
Good friends? Just how good?
That single remark was enough for the old turtle to keenly sense that this gentle girl was no simple character.
Even heroes struggled to cross the barrier of beauty.
That boy certainly had no shortage of romantic fortune.
Sensing the old turtle's gaze, Xu Ziqing remained composed, her smile as gentle as ever.
"Very well. Since you're Chen Beiwu's friends, I'll make an exception."
The old turtle moved aside to clear the mountain path and said evenly, "Go straight up the nine thousand Azure Jade steps. Someone will guide you through the mountain gate."
With that, the old turtle closed his eyes and slowly lay down.
Unlike Chen Beiwu, two cultivators of mediocre talent did not warrant his personally showing them the way.
Xu Ziqing and Xu Lingling exchanged a glance, thanked him, and began climbing.
