I Have A Dual World Seal

After breakfast, Lu Zheng escorted Liu Qingyan to Renxin Hall and hadn’t yet returned home when he encountered Yuan Jing, who was on his way to Renxin Hall.

Upon seeing Lu Zheng, Yuan Jing visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Junior Brother, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, what’s up?" Lu Zheng asked, somewhat puzzled, not understanding why Yuan Jing would ask him that.

"A few days ago, Elder Grandmaster Yue Luo came to Shaotong Mountain, intending to invite you up for a meeting, but you weren’t around."

Yuan Jing explained, "Yuan Ning didn’t notice at the time, but I noticed Miss Liu seemed a bit absent-minded. She wasn’t attending to her duties at Renxin Hall but instead went to Peach Blossom Plain with Miss Du.

I asked her what you were doing and if you needed any help, but she wouldn’t say, just mentioned you went out with Sect Leader Si to handle some matters..."

"I see."

Lu Zheng couldn’t help but nod, explaining for Liu Qingyan, "It wasn’t intentional for her to keep it from you. At the time, things were still unresolved, and the situation was not clear. Telling you wouldn’t have helped and would only make you worry unnecessarily."

"What was it all about?" Yuan Jing asked curiously, then added, "Is it done?"

"It’s done, just went to the East Sea and killed a Fallen Celestial Demon." Lu Zheng waved his hand, appearing indifferent.

Yuan Jing: (⊙o⊙)

"What did you say?" Yuan Jing momentarily thought he misheard.

"East Sea, a Fallen Celestial Demon, Fiery Heaven-Destroying Demon Dragon King—pretty powerful. The Four Great Dragon Kings all took action, and Lingxi and I were there, so Qingyan felt a bit worried." Lu Zheng said.

Yuan Jing blinked, dumbfounded for a long moment before reacting, "Is that why Miss Liu didn’t tell me, because it involved a Celestial Demon?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Indeed, at that time, the specific situation was unclear, and it was uncertain, so it was all speculation, not worth mentioning."

Lu Zheng asked, "Brother, did you come to town specially to check the situation today?"

"Not really." Yuan Jing shook his head in disbelief. "Although Miss Liu seemed worried, I thought maybe it was just her worrying too much, after all..."

Yuan Jing didn’t finish his sentence, but Lu Zheng completely understood.

Jokingly speaking, Lu Zheng was out handling things with Si Lingxi, what danger could they possibly encounter?

However, if it involved a Fallen Celestial Demon, that would indeed be quite dangerous!

And also, all Four Great Dragon Kings took action?

"What happened! Tell me about it?" Yuan Jing’s curiosity was piqued.

After all, such a major event is just like when Lu Zheng encountered confidential information about top-notch moguls or superstar celebrities back on Blue Star, it’s definitely worth gossiping about.

"That’s a long story. What brings you into town this time?" Lu Zheng asked.

"There’s something off with Landlord Li’s family in the city, I came over last night and dealt with a Rat Demon. I was about to return to the mountain but remembered your situation, so I swung by to check if you were back."

"Then there’s no problem." Lu Zheng said, "Brother, come back with me. By the way, is Elder Grandmaster Yue Luo still on the mountain?"

"No, he’s already returned."

Lu Zheng nodded, then took Yuan Jing home, recounting the events of recent days from start to finish.

From Yue Honghai returning gravely injured with Ao Qin, to the Four Great Dragon Kings joining forces to slay the Black Water Profound Snake and the Fiery Heaven-Destroying Demon Dragon King.

Of course, as for the Golden Dragon Condensing Light Armor, Azure Dragon Heaven-Devouring Saber, Cyan Dragon Soaring Cloak, and Kanli Jade Crystal Sword, there was no need to mention those.

Listening to Lu Zheng’s account, Yuan Jing was stunned, "There was also a Black Water Profound Snake?"

He thought it was only an Upper Realm Demon Dragon, but to think there was also a major figure from the Mortal World.

Although Yuan Jing hadn’t heard of Su Aojun, the ancient bloodline of the Profound Snake, its reputation alongside the Upper Realm’s Demon Dragon King, and its ability to contend with Si Lingxi and the Four Great Dragon Kings, was proof enough of its strength.

Yuan Jing looked at Lu Zheng, his mouth twitching slightly; his junior brother could already participate in battles of this level? In the entire White Cloud Temple, only Ancestor Dongyangzi might have the eligibility to intervene.

Lu Zheng nodded, then patted the gourd at his waist and produced a large piece of smoked meat.

Yuan Jing’s eyes brightened, "This is..."

"It’s Profound Serpent Meat." Lu Zheng handed the smoked meat to Yuan Jing, "Take it back, let Elder Grandmaster Yue Chen and the brothers at the temple have a taste."

The Black Water Profound Snake’s body was enormous, and though the snake meat contained considerable energy, it was generally manageable for people. Moreover, with an excess of meat leftover after setting some aside for Si Lingxi, it was perfect as a gift.

It exuded aura, a gift that made one stand out no matter who they gave it to!

Yuan Jing didn’t stand on ceremony with Lu Zheng, receiving the snake meat and putting it into his own bundle, "Then I’ll thank you on behalf of Elder Grandmaster and the brothers."

"We’re brothers, no need for thanks." Lu Zheng laughed.

Yuan Jing laughed heartily and then chatted with Lu Zheng about recent happenings, the most significant being Master Qing Song’s appearance to drive Venerable Jin Jue, the senior brother of the Profound Yin Mountain lineage, back to the Netherworld.

Lu Zheng had lunch with Yuan Jing, sent him off, then took a stroll to Peach Blossom Plain to ensure everything was fine before once again returning to the present.

"I’m back!"

Lu Zheng called out, only to find the house unusually quiet; a quick scan with his Divine Thought revealed both Si Lingxi and Shen Ying were not home!

"Hmm, where did they go?"

Lin Wan was at work, and after dropping off Liu Qingyan, he thought they wouldn’t go out without him.

Lu Zheng quickly took out his phone and noticed a message from Si Lingxi in the group chat, regarding Gu Tingting’s concert invitation for Si Lingxi and company.

Since Gu Tingting’s visit last year, she had grown closer with everyone and even became quite like a zither student to Si Lingxi, exchanging greetings over holidays and visiting a couple of times.

Due to the burgeoning relationship and her now respectable zither skills, she courageously invited Si Lingxi to the performance.

Si Lingxi, finding herself with nothing better to do, opted to attend in person instead of playing zither or painting at home, leaving a message for Lu Zheng with the performance details, and headed out with Shen Ying.

"Not bad at all!" Lu Zheng nodded, unconcerned.

Both Si Lingxi and Shen Ying have been here for two years now, and Lu Zheng was never worried about them venturing out alone, and even if he were to worry, it wouldn’t be about them.

...

Meanwhile, Si Lingxi and Shen Ying had arrived at the performance venue and met Gu Tingting and her mother, Liu Jingqin.

"Miss Si, hello!" Liu Jingqin reached to shake hands with Si Lingxi. "Thank you so much for your guidance to Tingting."

Si Lingxi extended her hand lightly, smiling indifferently, "She shows some talent and is quite diligent."

Although it was praise, it was delivered calmly. Truth be told, Gu Tingting’s zither skills had already surpassed those of her mother.

Liu Jingqin chuckled awkwardly, yet she already understood Si Lingxi’s personality from Gu Tingting, and had received Si Lingxi’s sharp critiques a year ago, so she was mentally prepared.

Then Liu Jingqin took out two tickets from her bag and handed them to Shen Ying.

Shen Ying glanced at the tickets and spotted the bold words: Haiyuelan Global Music Concert - Hai City Stop.
