Soon Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing were traveling along the mountains. They did not stop at the first outpost camp but had departed from the Moon Demon Forest immediately.
After traveling for a few hours, Lu Qingyun said to the smiling Qian Jingjing. "Jingjing, actually I have something to tell you."
Qian Jingjing looked at him curiously, "Brother Qingyun, what is it?"
Lu Qingyun began to sigh softly before he said awkwardly, "Actually, I like a maiden. She is constantly in my heart."
Qian Jingjing looked away as she said quietly, "And she is definitely isn't me because we have only just met, am I right?"
Lu Qingyun smiled weakly, "I don't want to lie to you. We have been through several rounds of life and death situations together already. We are friends."
Qian Jingjing smiled weakly, "Who is she? I am curious."
Lu Qingyun began to stammer, "Actually she is…"
"Your sect leader?" Qian Jingjing said quietly.
Lu Qingyun was startled, "Jingjing, how did you know?"
Qian Jingjing smiled weakly, "I saw her before. She is like a goddess. But are you sure it isn't a one-sided and is it even allowed?"
Lu Qingyun quietly said, "Actually we have pledged ourselves to each other."
Qian Jingjing gasped softly, "Really?"
Lu Qingyun nodded quietly, "That's right."
Then he added with a heavy sigh, "I know that this relationship that is between us is frowned upon but I do not care. She is the maiden of my heart. It is like that she is the maiden that I've been waiting for a long time. It is like I have known her for a long time."
"I have to find her." He added slowly.
Qian Jingjing lowered her glances, "But Jingjing don't understand why she has to leave you without telling you where she is going?"
Lu Qingyun smiled, "I'm sure that she has her own reasons for doing so." He could not tell her that Qin Keqin was actually the Great Saintess Fan Yuqing.
Qian Jingjing was suddenly giggling, "Brother Qingyun, I won't change my mind about you. Just as she is the maiden of your heart, you are the man of my heart. Jingjing knows what to do. Thank you for sharing with me."
Lu Qingyun: …
He began to sigh softly before he smiled, "Jingjing, let me show you a new friend. Alright?"
"Oh?" Qian Jingjing said curiously. "A new friend?"
Lu Qingyun said, "Yan'Er and Xingxin, please come out."
Immediately two little girls about five had appeared.
Qian Jingjing had of course recognized Yan'Er but for Xingxin, it was her first time seeing her. "Xingxin is also a spirit entity?"
Lu Qingyun laughed, "Indeed."
Qian Jingjing was astonished, "Is it even possible to have two spirit entities in the first place? Moreover, you have two sentient spirit entities too."
Then she smiled to Xingxin, "Hello Xingxin. I'm Qian Jingjing. I have a spirit entity too. Yunqing, please come out."
Yunqing smiled as she appeared from within Qian Jingjing's soul sea. "Hello…Xingxin…"
Xingxin was giggling softly, "I have sensed you earlier and have wanted to talk to you…"
Yunqing smiled, "It is good to…have…more friends…"
"This is really so interesting. Three sentient spirit entities…" A voice said above them.
Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing were both startled. They did not realize that someone else was here!
Yan'Er was also startled, "I didn't sense any intruder too…"
Yunqing and Xingxin were both pointing at a white figure that was above them.
And this white figure had made a gentle jump and landed lightly in front of Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing.
He had a silver fan that covered his face as he said coolly, "I'm Young Master Tang Feng."
Lu Qingyun was blinking his eyes but he quickly introduced himself, "I am Lu Qingyun…"
"I know." Young Master Tang Feng was suddenly laughing softly as he put down his fan.
When Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing saw 'his' face, they were so startled that they had both taken a step back. It was especially so for Lu Qingyun and his heart was suddenly pounding hard.
It was because this Young Master Tang Feng was actually Tang Xuefeng, who was dressed in a male attire.
Tang Xuefeng winked at Lu Qingyun as she smiled shyly, "I'm Tang Feng, Feng as in Wind and not Feng as Phoenix. I am not Xuefeng the Snowy Phoenix that you have known."
Lu Qingyun frowned lightly, "But you are Tang Xuefeng…"
"Well, I am Tang Feng now." Tang Xuefeng chuckled softly.
Lu Qingyun smiled weakly, "Well, hello Tang Feng."
Tang Xuefeng averted her eyes as she said shyly, "I'll be joining your party."
Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing were startled as they looked at each other.
"It has been a long time since I have joined an experiential expedition. So I'm thinking of joining your party." Tang Xuefeng looked shyly at Lu Qingyun.
"Erm, is it even allowed?" Lu Qingyun muttered. "I mean that you are a golden celestial of the Heavenly Fragrance Villa. Are you even allowed to leave your duties…"
Tang Xuefeng interrupted with a soft laugh, "Then what about you? With your master and sect leader?"
Lu Qingyun was startled, "You have overheard?"
Tang Xuefeng averted her eyes shyly, "Rather than saying that I have overheard, it is better to say that I've known about it."
Lu Qingyun: …
He was thinking, "Just how many people already know about Keqin and I? Isn't this supposed to be our secret?"
Qian Jingjing asked curiously, "Since you have already known that Brother Qingyun already has the maiden that is in his heart, why are you here?" She was really direct.
But Tang Xuefeng did not seem to mind as she laughed shyly, "Like you, I have already decided who is the man in my heart is and that is why I'm here."
Qian Jingjing: ...
Lu Qingyun: …
"You don't welcome me to join your party?" Tang Xuefeng asked quietly as she averted her eyes shyly.
Lu Qingyun said awkwardly, "It isn't that but we are going to a dangerous place. We are going to fight the heretic cultivators and it is not a good thing to…"
"To bring me along?" Tang Xuefeng added for him.
"If something were to happen to you, Supremacy Yufeng's wrath and the Heavenly Fragrance Princess' wrath will be upon me." Lu Qingyun laughed weakly.
Tang Xuefeng chuckled softly, "Then you ought to watch out for me and make sure that you don't allow me to come to harm."
Lu Qingyun: …
Then she lifted her lovely fingers to point at Lu Qingyun with a soft chuckle, "Or else I will complain to the Great Saintess Fan Yuqing about you."
Qian Jingjing was gasping, "The Great Saintess Fan Yuqing? She is still around?"
Tang Xuefeng winked at her, "I can even introduce you to her."
"Really?!" Qian Jingjing was beaming with excitement. "I wonder if she is willing to accept a disciple then."
Lu Qingyun smiled weakly to Qian Jingjing, "Honestly, I don't think it is a good idea. You will never learn anything from her. In the end, you are better off alone."
Qian Jingjing: ???
Lu Qingyun added with an even weaker smile, "I mean she is too busy to teach anyone."
Tang Xuefeng was laughing softly as she watched Lu Qingyun and Qian Jingjing. "Yes, the Great Saintess Fan Yuqing is really extremely busy, especially if she is seeing someone."
Lu Qingyun: …
Lu Qingyun quickly said with a flustered look, "Celestial Xuefeng really knows how to joke."
Tang Xuefeng chuckled softly, "I can really make a good guide. I can promise you I won't lead you wandering in circles unlike someone here."
Qian Jingjing smiled weakly, "I just need a good map, that's all. Who says I have no sense of direction?"
Tang Xuefeng giggled, "Did I say you have no sense of direction?"
Qian Jingjing: …
Tang Xuefeng laughed softly, "So am I welcome to join your party?"
Actually Lu Qingyun was more than happy to welcome her because there were still many things that he could learn from her in alchemy. It was just that he was worried that it may not be safe for her. So he could only muttered, "Of course, we welcome you..."
Tang Xuefeng giggled softly as she winked at Lu Qingyun, "Maybe you can introduce Yan'Er, Xingxin and Yunqing to me first before we continue our way?"
Lu Qingyun muttered awkwardly, "You've already overheard us earlier…"
But Tang Xuefeng had turned to say to the spirit entities, "Hello, I am Celestial Tang Xuefeng. But now I am traveling incognito and will be known as Young Master Tang Feng. I'll be traveling with your masters now."
Qian Jingjing muttered with a displeased look at Tang Xuefeng, "Welcome, welcome…"
Lu Qingyun was not blind to see that Qian Jingjing was not entirely happy to see Tang Xuefeng so he laughed aloud to drown out her bitter tone, "Welcome, welcome…"
