“Alright, we are almost there!”
“Once we cross this mountain peak ahead, our sect is not far!”
“It must have been a tough journey for you, young friend, rushing all this way!”
In a dense jungle, a group of people was struggling on their way.
Suddenly, an old man walking at the front turned around and spoke apologetically to a slightly younger man behind him!
“It’s nothing, senior, you don’t need to be polite. This distance is nothing!”
“I just didn’t expect that in this age of advanced technology!”
“People in your sect can still dwell in these deep mountains to cultivate. It truly shows your sect’s extraordinary perseverance!”
Hearing the old man’s words from the front, the young man walking behind responded with a smile.
And this young man was none other than Zhou Xuan, who had just left the Lu family and followed a group of Lingyun Immortal Sect cultivators to their sect to treat their elder.
Zhou Xuan’s words were clearly just polite formalities. In fact, his mind was already brimming with complaints.
He didn’t understand why these cultivation sects liked to establish their sects in such desolate places.
Wouldn’t it be incredibly inconvenient to leave or enter the mountain?
He had initially thought that when they spoke of leaving the mountain, it was merely a symbolic expression, but he never expected it to be literal!
“Young friend, you jest!”
“It’s just that our sect has a long-standing rule that we must not interfere with the secular world outside!”
“That’s why we have no choice but to live in seclusion in the mountains. Please forgive me for any inconvenience, young friend!”
Hearing Zhou Xuan’s polite words, the few experienced cultivators would not presume to think that he was genuinely praising their sect.
Just as they were about to offer more apologies, a loud eagle’s cry slowly echoed through the sky, interrupting their words.
“Uncle-Master Wang, Martial Uncle Li!”
“The Sect Master has received your message and specially ordered me to greet our distinguished guest!”
“May I ask where the distinguished guest is?”
Along with the eagle’s cry came a clear, crisp voice of a young woman.
Upon hearing this voice, the two elders who were called by name immediately looked up at the sky.
It was then that they noticed a giant eagle, dozens of times larger than usual, had appeared above everyone’s heads at some point.
And standing on the back of that eagle was a maiden of exquisite beauty!
“Xiao Qingxuan?”
“I thought that eagle’s cry sounded so familiar; it turns out it’s you, girl!”
“Hurry down, the distinguished guest is right here!”
“Take him back to the sect quickly!”
Seeing the eagle and the maiden appearing in the sky, the two elders exclaimed with surprise.
At the same time, they did not forget to point towards Zhou Xuan beside them!
“Is this the divine doctor guest you spoke of?”
“He doesn’t look very old. Can he really do it?”
Upon hearing the words of the two elders, the giant eagle slowly descended from the sky.
The maiden standing on the eagle’s back then leaped down, landing steadily on the ground.
After landing, the maiden slowly circled Zhou Xuan before speaking with a hint of doubt.
“Hey, you little Qingxuan!”
“Since when did you learn to judge people by their appearance?”
“Don’t let Zhou Xuan’s young age fool you; his medical skills are even superior to that of the national physician Mu Yunxi!”
“There were a few difficult cases that Mu Yunxi couldn’t solve, but they were all resolved by young Zhou.”
“Others only agreed to come to our mountain to treat the illness out of respect for Black Tiger!”
“Don’t be so impolite!”
Hearing the maiden’s words, the elder surnamed Wang quickly intervened to smooth things over.
As if he were afraid Zhou Xuan would be angered and leave by the maiden in front of him!
“Hehe, I was just saying casually!”
“You’re not that petty, are you!”
“Hello, my name is Lin Qingxuan. It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Hearing the reminder from the elder surnamed Wang, the maiden realized the problem with her words.
She stuck out her little tongue and then generously extended her delicate hand to Zhou Xuan.
“Of course not!”
“Zhou Xuan!”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
Seeing the maiden’s slightly playful demeanor, Zhou Xuan smiled.
He then extended his palm and gently shook the maiden’s hand, not bothering to dwell on what had just happened.
“Then follow me!”
“Let’s go back first. The elders in the sect have been waiting for you for a long time!”
Seeing that Zhou Xuan wasn’t angry, Lin Qingxuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she greeted Zhou Xuan and stood back on the eagle’s back.
“Are you saying we’re going to your sect on this?”
Looking at the maiden’s actions, Zhou Xuan pointed at the giant eagle lying on the ground with some uncertainty.
“Of course!”
“Otherwise, if you walk with them, it will take at least another hour or so to reach the sect!”
Hearing Zhou Xuan’s question, the maiden replied earnestly.
“This…”
After receiving the maiden’s affirmative answer, Zhou Xuan was somewhat dumbfounded.
Although he was a cultivator and had seen many things incomprehensible to ordinary people,
He had never seen anything like flying in the sky on a giant eagle.
He had been quite shocked by the maiden’s appearance earlier, and now he was going to join her.
“You’re not afraid of heights, are you?”
“Don’t worry!”
“Little Nian is very steady; it won’t let you fall!”
“Many people in our sect have ridden Little Nian before!”
Seeing Zhou Xuan’s hesitant look, the maiden suddenly seemed to think of something and said with a mischievous smile.
“Nonsense, how could I, a grown man, be afraid of heights!”
“I’m just a little shocked!”
“Let’s go, who’s afraid of whom!”
“But if we leave, what about Senior Wang and the others?”
Hearing Lin Qingxuan’s words, Zhou Xuan’s face immediately turned red, and then, like a cat with its tail stepped on, he instantly became agitated!
“Young friend, you don’t need to worry about us!”
“Since the Sect Master and the others are waiting for you in the sect, it’s likely that the senior’s injuries are already critical!”
“You go ahead with Qingxuan, we’ll be there shortly!”
“This… alright then!”
Seeing that Old Man Wang didn’t understand his implied meaning, Zhou Xuan fell silent for a moment before slowly stepping onto the eagle’s back and standing behind Lin Qingxuan.
“Hold on tight, we’re taking off!”
As soon as Zhou Xuan got on the ride, oh, wait, on the bird.
Lin Qingxuan in front smiled mischievously, placed her fair hand to her lips, and blew gently.
As a whistle sounded, the giant eagle flapped its wings and soared straight into the distant sky!
