I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

"Ok!"

When Su Ru saw Li Qing'an looking at her, she had her answer and stopped thinking about it. She decided to deal with the current situation first.

As for Tian Ling'er, Su Ru felt that given Li Qing'an's current attitude of still treating Tian Ling'er as a younger sister, if Tian Ling'er didn't confess her feelings at the right time, it would be difficult for them to take things further.

Su Ru thought of this, but to avoid Tian Ling'er throwing a tantrum, she interrupted Li Qing'an's next sentence.

"Come on, let's go outside and talk."

Li Qingan didn't think much of it; this was exactly what he wanted, so he followed Su Ru out.

Song Daren and the others did not react, but Tian Ling'er felt a sudden panic and decided to follow the two as they left.

"Ling'er, I'm talking to Xiao An, what are you doing here?"

Su Ru looked at Tian Ling'er and said seriously.

"Is there anything I can't know?"

Tian Ling'er muttered something under her breath, but still sat back down in her seat.

A short while later, the two of them left the kitchen.

Su Ru stopped, turned her head, made up her mind, and then, without waiting for Li Qing'an to speak, looked at him and said simply:

"Go to Xiaozhu Peak now!"

"Ok?"

Seeing that Su Ru guessed what he was going to say without him speaking, Li Qing'an couldn't help but ask curiously, "Does Master's wife know that I want to go to Xiaozhu Peak!"

"And now?"

Li Qingan was puzzled; he had originally planned to go and take a look tomorrow.

Logically speaking, Su Ru came from Xiaozhu Peak, so it was impossible for him to go up Xiaozhu Peak at night.

"No need to ask any more questions, just go."

Su Ru nodded without replying, only speaking in a cryptic manner.

Li Qingan was somewhat bewildered, but seeing Su Ru's serious expression, he couldn't help but worry and began to fret about Lu Xueqi.

For him now, the only person in Xiaozhufeng who can truly capture his heart is Lu Xueqi.

"With Master's wife acting like this, could it be that something has happened to Xueqi?" Li Qing'an wondered to himself.

After that, Li Qingan didn't ask any more questions and flew directly to Xiaozhu Peak on his sword.

After seeing Li Qing'an leave, Su Ru sighed. She moved up the date Shui Yue had mentioned, from tomorrow, to tonight, hoping that Li Qing'an wouldn't have his legs broken by Shui Yue.

This can be seen as her, who has always been competitive, standing up for her daughter!

It could also be for that stubborn girl in white.

Chapter 50 Reunion at the Moon-Viewing Terrace, Shuiyue Arrives

Meanwhile, Li Qing'an, who was speeding towards Xiaozhu Peak, also suddenly felt troubled.

If people found out he went up Little Bamboo Peak at night, his legs would probably be broken, and his reputation in the Qingyun Sect would be ruined. No matter how talented he was, people would still talk about his character...

But Li Qing'an didn't want to interfere at the moment. After several years together, Lu Xueqi held a significant place in his heart, or rather, she was the most important person to him besides himself.

Having witnessed Lu Xueqi's grown-up appearance at the Full Moon Well three years ago, he felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Li Qingan had to admit that he did have feelings for Lu Xueqi; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to Xiaozhu Peak at night after learning that Lu Xueqi might have problems.

After all, he suspected that Su Ru must have discussed this with Shui Yue, but if Shui Yue allowed him to go up Xiaozhu Peak at night, Lu Xueqi's condition must be even more serious.

At this moment, Su Ru was unaware of Li Qing'an's misunderstanding, because she wanted her to go up Xiaozhu Peak at night, but Shuiyue was not there!

At this moment, Li Qing'an increased the speed of his sword flight, heading towards Xiaozhu Peak. He had to avoid the disciples guarding Xiaozhu Peak along the way, as he did not want to waste a single moment.

........

Xiaozhu Peak, Moon-Viewing Terrace

In the night, under the moonlight, a gentle breeze blew quietly by!

Lu Xueqi, dressed in white, stood in the center of the stage for a long time. Her hair was a little messy, with a few strands of black hair trembling gently in the night wind. The moonlight shone on her delicate, jade-like face, but her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were staring blankly at the spot where Li Qing'an had stood three years ago, as if he were right in front of her.

Everything was so calm, yet so sorrowful, as if it had seeped into her very soul, making her appear utterly haggard.

Three years, three years without any news, and the nightmares that kept recurring and felt so real, left her heartbroken.

Although she firmly believed that Li Qing'an could not have simply disappeared, she could not find peace of mind as long as there was no news from him.

"Brother, where are you?!"

Lu Xueqi said softly, her voice weak and choked with sobs.

At this moment, relying on his cultivation level of the Shangqing Realm, Li Qing'an easily bypassed the guards and arrived at the Moon-Viewing Platform on the summit of Xiaozhu Peak by instinct.

Looking at Lu Xueqi standing on the Moon Gazing Platform, Li Qingan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease. At first glance, it seemed that there was no major problem!

"Xueqi!"

A very familiar voice reached Lu Xueqi's ears.

Lu Xueqi, who had been in a daze, seemed to have found her soul and a place to belong.

Turning her head, she saw Li Qing'an's face, the one that had haunted her dreams and kept her from finding peace for years, appear before her.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

Lu Xueqi ran forward and looked at Li Qing'an, who was within reach. Her voice trembled as she reached out and touched Li Qing'an's face.

Lu Xueqi felt warmth in his palm, and then, to Li Qingan's surprise, she hugged him!

As if afraid I was dreaming again!

"You've grown up, but you look so haggard!"

Li Qingan didn't resist. As usual, he patted Lu Xueqi's head and smoothed her slightly messy hair with his hand, just like before they went up the mountain. After smoothing her hair, he comforted her, "Is something bothering you that you didn't listen to me about? Did you not tell your senior sister and the others? I told you that keeping it to yourself will make you sick."

"I....."

Hearing those familiar words, Lu Xueqi's eyes reddened, and she choked with sobs, unable to speak.

Feeling the girl's dependence in his arms, Li Qingan said slowly, "It's alright."

A gentle breeze blew, and Li Qing'an could smell the fragrance of Xiao Xueqi's hair.

"It's been three years since I last saw you. Why are you still crying even though you've grown up?"

Li Qingan released Lu Xueqi, wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes with his right hand, while Lu Xueqi held his other hand tightly.

Li Qingan didn't care; in fact, one could say he was more than happy about it.

Lu Xueqi calmed herself down and looked up into Li Qingan's eyes. "Where have you been for the past three years? Why haven't I heard from you at all? You promised to send me messages."

"piece of cake!"

Li Qingan held Lu Xueqi's slender hand in his, watching her hair fall onto her delicate face. He then gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and looked into her eyes. "We've only been trapped in one place for a while, there's nothing dangerous! Why are you so worried!"

A person always wants to talk about the difficulties they have experienced in a light and easy way, especially in front of their relatives!

This isn't about self-respect or self-reliance; it's simply a heartfelt desire to avoid worrying those closest to us.

Li Qingan looked at Lu Xueqi's face in the moonlight and couldn't help but touch it; it was soft and smooth.

Lu Xueqi felt the large hands on her face and blushed involuntarily, but then she remembered Li Qingan saying that he was trapped in a place, and couldn't help but think of her nightmare.

He then slapped Li Qingan's hand away, frowned, and looked at Li Qingan, saying, "Were you trapped at the bottom of the sea by a giant beast, where it was pitch black?"

Li Qingan, who had originally planned to conceal some key information, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the serious Lu Xueqi, exclaiming in surprise, "How did you know!"

Upon hearing Li Qingan's admission, Lu Xueqi felt a sharp pain in her heart, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "It's true, my dream was real. You almost didn't come back, you almost didn't come back..."

Lu Xueqi kept repeating these words.

Seeing Lu Xueqi's sad appearance, Li Qing'an's heart tightened. He kept wiping away her tears and said, "I'm back now, give your brother a smile."

After a moment, Li Qingan looked at Lu Xueqi, who had recovered, and asked curiously, "Little Xueqi, how could you dream about my situation?"

Seeing Lu Xueqi shake her head, he then chuckled and teased her:

"Could it be that we are telepathically connected?"

Lu Xueqi blushed, but did not refute. She simply held Li Qingan's hand tightly and said, "If you ever want to travel down the mountain, I want to go with you."

She really didn't want to experience this kind of pain again. Before she went to Qingyun Mountain, if she didn't see Li Qing'an for half a day, she might see him with a bruised and swollen face. At that time, she could only watch as he simply treated some of his wounds. Now that she had joined the Qingyun Sect and become a cultivator, Li Qing'an had been gone for three years. In those three years, she almost learned that Li Qing'an had been trapped and died, but she was still helpless. She was really afraid that if Li Qing'an went out again, he would really never come back. So she decided to go with him, so that no matter where they went, he would have company.

Lu Xueqi felt utterly devoid of interest in everything and her heart was ashen whenever she thought about Li Qing'an's absence.

"Okay, I promise you."

Seeing Lu Xueqi staring intently at him, Li Qingan had no choice but to agree.

Then, seeing Lu Xueqi's haggard appearance, he felt sorry for her and said, "You're like this because of a dream? Can't you trust me?"

He had just checked Lu Xueqi's physical condition and found nothing wrong, except that she was not in a good mental state.

He was relieved.

.............

And just as the two were chatting.

Worried about her apprentice's condition, Shuiyue sighed when she saw that no one was in Lu Xueqi's bamboo hut, and also walked towards the Moon Gazing Terrace.

She had already made up her mind that if Li Qingan didn't come tomorrow, even if Lu Xueqi tried to stop her, she would still go to Dazhu Peak to teach Li Qingan a lesson.

Thinking of this, she sighed again. What a tragedy! She finally had a disciple, but he became so haggard because of a dream.

She poured a great deal of effort into this disciple.

"Indeed, love is the most destructive thing!"
