Chapter 276: Chapter 133: Xiao Xiyue’s Request_4 Lu Changsheng also bowed slightly, roughly understanding that this concept was not far off from his own initial thoughts. “It’s not about guidance, just a few suggestions,” he said. Although Xiao Xiyue’s visage was cold and detached, like a fairy from the Moon Palace above the nine heavens, her words carried no arrogance and were very gentle. Thus, with Xiao Xiyue’s participation, the atmosphere of the conversation became even more harmonious. Especially in the aspect of cultivation, Xiao Xiyue, a fairy who had achieved Perfection in Qi Refinement, often illuminated the path for others with just a few words, leading to great epiphanies and gains. This also made Lu Changsheng realize the importance of “companionship” within wealth, companionship, law, and land. In the lengthy process of cultivation, nearly everyone would face some difficulties and doubts. If one were to work in isolation, it would be hard to get far. But with a mentor and a group of like-minded Daoist friends to exchange thoughts with, things would be much better. During the conversation, Xiao Xiyue also occasionally asked Lu Changsheng about some matters and questions of everyday life. This was also her reason for engaging in the conversation and chat. From Lu Changsheng, she saw the opportunity for her own breakthrough. However, she couldn’t directly bring up emotional tribulations or matters of cultivation. She needed to observe and understand Lu Changsheng’s situation first. After all, emotional tribulations could harm oneself and others if not handled well, and affect others. Although her emotions had gradually become indifferent, she wouldn’t become coldhearted just for the sake of cultivation. Lu Changsheng was somewhat surprised by this concern. But hearing that Xiao Xiyue’s descent from the mountain was mainly for Mortal Heart Tempering, he didn’t mind. After all, they had all experienced many worldly affairs. However, Xiao Xiyue and her two companions had always been cultivating in Immortal Sects and rarely dealt with mundane chores. There is no feast that doesn’t come to an end in this world. Seeing that the sun was setting, everyone concluded the gathering and bid each other farewell. Zhao Qingqing mentioned that she had a mission to do. And Han Lin was heading home to visit his relatives. “Lu Daoist, I have descended the mountain to wander the secular world in search of opportunities,” she said. “But I am not very familiar with many worldly and Cultivation World matters, and I have no specific destination in mind. May I ask you to take me with you for a while, if possible?” she asked. Before departing, Xiao Xiyue didn’t leave immediately but turned to Lu Changsheng and spoke. She was clad in white robes purer than snow, her complexion cold and peerless, like the bright moon in the sky, calm and indifferent, with an aura of otherworldliness. “Eh?” Lu Changsheng was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. However, from their recent conversation, he knew that Xiao Xiyue’s descent was for Mortal Heart Tempering and to break through Foundation Establishment. Such a request didn’t seem abrupt to him. “I usually just travel between Ruyi Prefecture, Qingzhu Mountain, and the marketplace. If Daoist Xiao temporarily has no destination, I am certainly willing to take her along for the journey,” Lu Changsheng said after a moment’s consideration. As a disciple of an Immortal Sect and moreover, a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal, Lu Changsheng naturally wished to maintain a good relationship. Just taking her along for a part of his journey, as far as he was concerned, was not a troublesome matter, so he agreed without hesitation. Whether or not it bore fruit, he would still be owed a favor by her. The favor of a disciple of a Nascent Soul Immortal from an Immortal Sect also counted as a connection and backing. Especially since his Qing Zhu Mountain was under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect. “Thank you, Lu Daoist,” Xiao Xiyue said, her cool eyes revealing a hint of warmth, like a night-blooming cereus unfolding. “I’ve always been in the secular world and have some understanding of the Cultivation World. Why didn’t you ask me?” Hong Yi remained silent on the side but couldn’t help feeling a tinge of sourness in his heart.
