Chapter 295: The Arrangement of Two Women (Two-in-One Chapter)
“Junior Sister, do you need to return to your cave dwelling to make some preparations?”
After two hours, they had arrived near Color Lotus Mountain, and Liu Yu asked without turning back, having finished explaining the key points of the cultivator duel.
“No need to go back. Qiushui usually stays in Jinxing Bazaar, and there’s nothing important in the cave dwelling, so there’s no need to tidy up.”
“Let’s just go to Color Lotus Mountain together,” Jiang Qiushui said softly, still tightly holding on without letting go.
Seeing this, Liu Yu nodded slightly and asked, “How have the arrangements at Jade Alchemy Hall been? You’ve brought the second-tier elixirs with you, right?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiushui’s expression became slightly unnatural as she replied, “Qiushui received a summons from the sect, and due to the urgency, I directly closed the shop and let the staff return to rest.”
“There are still some things I didn’t manage in time.”
“The second-tier elixirs are in my storage pouch, but some first-tier elixirs are still at the shop with the staff.”
“Now that the protective formation of the sect has been activated, messages can’t be sent out, so those first-tier elixirs can’t be retrieved.”
At this point, she looked a bit frustrated, clearly feeling that she hadn’t handled things well.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s not your fault. The situation arose suddenly, and we can’t go against the sect’s will.”
“Besides, those first-tier elixirs aren’t worth much spiritual stones anyway,” Liu Yu said expressionlessly.
The value of some first-tier elixirs is around one thousand spiritual stones, which he truly doesn’t care about at this point.
“Thank you for your understanding, Senior Brother.”
Hearing this, Jiang Qiushui revealed a smile.
After a brief silence, they finally reached Color Lotus Mountain.
Jiang Qiushui reluctantly released her tight embrace, feeling the fleeting joy of the moment.
“Junior Sister, you wait outside; I’ll go in and tidy up a bit.”
Liu Yu stored the Mother-Child Soul Pursuing Blade and said to Jiang Qiushui.
“Senior Brother, I…”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiushui slightly parted her pink lips, wanting to say something.
But seeing Liu Yu’s frown and serious expression, she held back her words.
Over the years, she had learned to obey and knew that her senior brother didn’t like her to counter or dig deeper.
Seeing Liu Yu seemed a bit displeased, her voice immediately quieted down.
Liu Yu didn’t explain anything either, turned around, took out a token, and opened the formation to enter.
Upon entering the main hall, there was no sign of Ji Ruyan, but there was a pot of steaming spiritual tea on the stone table; his spiritual consciousness scanned and found that she was cultivating in her room.
Seeing this, Liu Yu didn’t immediately disturb her but first went to the training room, the bedroom, and other rooms to gather some items he often used.
Then he arrived at the already cold and damp spiritual beast chamber.
“Sizzle”
Little Qing heard the sound, saw the master arrive, and immediately dashed over, rubbing its little head against Liu Yu’s pants, expressing its joyful emotions.
Liu Yu smiled slightly and played with Little Qing for a while before taking one of the spiritual beast pouches placed in the corner of the room and opening the pouch, signaling it to get inside.
“Sizzle”
Little Qing shook its little head, looking anxiously at the dark pouch opening, twisting its body uneasily.
Liu Yu calmed it down a bit through the master-servant contract and then commanded the little creature to enter the spiritual beast pouch.
Little Qing hesitated, looking at the pouch opening, still feeling uneasy, but under the constraint of the master-servant contract, it instinctively chose to obey, wriggling its snake body and burrowing inside.
Pulling the pouch opening tight and securing it, Liu Yu checked for any leaks and nodded in satisfaction, hanging the spiritual beast pouch at his waist.
