Chapter 1249 - 1248: Yuan Jing Can’t Hold the Fort
Liu Qingyan handed the bullet to the staff, and then they went back with a strange look along with the bullet and the brown bear.
As for the poacher who injured the brown bear, since they’ve been discovered, naturally, the relevant personnel will handle it, so it’s not up to Lu Zheng and the others to meddle.
Next, they played and took photos as they wished, and only after everyone’s desire to be heroes had been fully satisfied did they return to the hotel.
Meanwhile, their photos caused a stir in their friend circles and even online.
"Holy crap? The big shots of the Full Armor Fighting Club went hunting in the snow mountain?"
"Could it be that the experts in the club did the hunting and they just posed for photos?"
"Brown bears are national second-class protected animals, you are breaking the law, I’ve reported this!"
"To the one upstairs, the blogger didn’t make it clear, I suggest you check out @Wu Yue Full Armor King’s blog, they actually rescued a brown bear wounded by poachers."
"An injured brown bear? Is it really that docile?"
"Oh wow, go check out @Zhao Xiaodao and @Zhang Weili’s Weibo, they were actually there too!"
It’s hard enough to get a photo with a brown bear, how could anyone not show it off?
Moreover, Zhao Xiaodao is a celebrity, and Zhang Weili also opened a martial arts club, so they need publicity as well.
So both of them uploaded their photos with the bear on Weibo and tagged each other.
This interaction instantly made it to the hot search.
At the same time, it also helped drive a wave of popularity for the Full Armor Fighting Clubs.

When they got back to the hotel, a few rich second-generation kids eagerly pleaded for Lu Zheng and the others to join them for a meal, begging earnestly.
Lu Zheng saw their sincerity almost to the point of tears, so he agreed and had dinner with them.
In the following days, Lu Zheng and his group visited around the resort and then took Zhao Xiaodao and Zhang Weili for a tour around Red Chess Lake, before sending them back to Beidu and returning to Hai City himself.
...
"Mr. Fan, how is your health?"
"Thanks to your blessings, much better. Now even flying back to the Primordial Saint Sect on my own wouldn’t be an issue!"
Seeing Fan Boyu again, Lu Zheng noticed that his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were in great condition, almost like a rejuvenated transformation from before.
Kidding, of course!
With the Master of Southern Border Phoenix Mountain as backing, what does he have to worry about?
The only concern might be if Si Lingxi goes too hard and sends down a Phoenix Divine Fire that burns the entire Primordial Saint Sect to ashes.
"We plan to go to Phoenix Mountain for the New Year this year, heading out in advance, first stopping by the Primordial Saint Sect to help Yue Yao take over," Lu Zheng said, "Of course, Yue Yao still has to go to Phoenix Mountain with us, and she’s usually in the Central Plains. So if Saintess Yuanlu and Saintess Zhi Lan need time to heal, the responsibility of hosting the Primordial Saint Sect affairs might fall on you."
"I accept the mission without hesitation!" Fan Boyu immediately assured, thumping his chest, "Everything will proceed with Saintess Yue Yao as the Holy Sect’s first saintess in mind!"
Lu Zheng nodded in satisfaction; Fan Boyu really understood the subtleties of things.
"Then Mr. Fan, please rest up, we’ll set off in three days," Lu Zheng said.
"Alright!"
...
Lu Zheng left home and quickly arrived at Renxin Hall.
Liu Qingyan, Du Yueyao, and Yang Caiyi were all there in the medical shop.
Oh, and also Elder Liu.
"Uncle Liu, you’re really not going to Phoenix Mountain?" Lu Zheng asked with a smile.
Lu Zheng originally intended to bring the entire Liu family to Phoenix Mountain, but Elder Liu declined.
"No, you young ones go together; we old couple won’t intrude on the fun," Elder Liu replied.
Lu Zheng blinked and instinctively looked around.
Yang Caiyi didn’t understand his intent, while Liu Qingyan and Du Yueyao merely smiled without daring to speak.
Lu Zheng understood why Si Lingxi didn’t interact much with Elder Liu and his wife.
"Alright then, but we have to bring Qing Quan. She’s been mentioning it several times," Lu Zheng said.
Elder Liu nodded and didn’t object.
A daughter grown cannot be kept at home.
Liu Qingquan may not compare to Liu Qingyan in talent and effort, but having learned the "Moonlight Scripture" and "Celestial Demon Nine Transformations Blood Refining Technique" since childhood, and later cultivating the "Tushan Scripture" that suits her, combined with support from Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan, has now far surpassed Elder Liu and Madam Liu in cultivation.
With Lu Zheng and Liu Qingyan watching over, Elder Liu wasn’t worried about his younger daughter’s safety, allowing them to go on their way.
"I just saw Mr. Fan; we’ll set off in three days," Lu Zheng said; this was the timing they agreed upon yesterday, just discussed today early in the morning after he came across.
Du Yueyao and Yang Caiyi nodded, evidently already informed by Liu Qingyan.
The days close to the New Year would put some strain on Elder Liu to keep Renxin Hall running.
Lu Zheng took a stroll around Renxin Hall, didn’t head to Peach Blossom Plain, but went up to Shaotong Mountain to inform Yuan Jing of this matter.
"What?" Yuan Jing looked puzzled, "I was thinking of letting you take me back to White Cloud Mountain this year."
Lu Zheng, "..."
"No way, I don’t want to walk to White Cloud Mountain; it’s too far!" Yuan Jing shook his head repeatedly, not being polite with Lu Zheng at all, "When are you leaving? Take me to White Cloud Mountain first."
"We leave in three days."
"So soon?" Yuan Jing exclaimed, "You guys could fly there in a day; why leave so early?"
"We need to first visit the Primordial Saint Sect, help Yue Yao take it over," Lu Zheng explained the upheaval within the Primordial Saint Sect to Yuan Jing, "Since the New Sect faction called in outsiders, Yue Yao sees no need to proceed bit by bit with her cultivation; it’s better to cut through the mess swiftly and secure the Primordial Saint Sect."
Yuan Jing also knew of Du Yueyao’s affairs, just he didn’t expect the speed of her taking over the Primordial Saint Sect would be so swift.
"So will Miss Du... be stationed permanently in the Southern Border in the future?" Yuan Jing asked.
"The Southern Border will be run by the two saintesses and Fan Boyu, and Yue Yao will just visit occasionally." Lu Zheng shook his head, "At that time, she can establish a branch of the Primordial Saint Sect in Tonglin County to protect the safety of the local people."
Yuan Jing, "..."
"Then I really need to go back this year, at least send another senior uncle from the temple over here, otherwise, it’s hard to maintain the scene here!" Yuan Jing spoke helplessly, "If only Master would return."
Daoist Mingzhang was called back to White Cloud Mountain, and Yuan Jing served as the master of the Shaotong Mountain branch temple, while the chief temple at White Cloud Mountain did send two helpers over, Yuan Xing and Yuan Fu, but these two’s Dao practice was even lesser than Yuan Jing.
For an ordinary county, it might be fine, but given the current Tonglin County...with such cultivation, it really can’t hold up!
"Master..."
Lu Zheng rubbed his nose, not daring to say more.
