Xie Lu's fingers were trembling slightly. She could not believe that such a good thing would happen to her. Liu Huai Qu gave her a gentle smile and said, "Xie Lu, compared to this, I think you should sit down first and scare the child."

Xie Lu finally reacted, but she still sat down absent-mindedly. Only after a long time did Tang Ming and the others finish their meal, she raised her head and said, "I …" Can I ask why... "Why is it Qing Ming?"

She waited for Xie Lu to finish her sentence with a smile. Xie Lu thought for a long time before carefully opening her mouth, "Although you may not know what's good for you, but with so many talented disciples, there's no way you wouldn't be able to find someone better than Qingming. Why not Qingming?"

"Likely, it's because this disciple of yours suits my heart the most, right?" Liu Huai Qu took the tea from him and asked, "Is it hard for me to buy the tea for a thousand gold coins?"

"Alliance Chief Liu does not seem to be such a willful person." Xie Lu was still not at ease. Although this kind of thing did not harm the Gu Qing sect, the worst result would be the sacrifice of her own disciple. If it was anyone else, they would have already agreed to it.

However, Xie Lu didn't want to exchange Xie Qingming's life for a good future for the Qing sect. He was Xie Qingming's master, so he had to consider Xie Qingming's future.

"Thank you, Sect Leader, for being such a good Master." Liu Huai Qu sighed with emotion once again, "Your disciple was lucky to have met you."

"Alliance Head Liu, you flatter me." Xie Lu patted Xie Qingming's head.

"Why don't you ask your disciple? Since our conflict is your disciple, why don't you ask the person involved?" Liu Huai Qu stroked the white fox lying on his lap, which lazily wagged its tail.

Xie Qingming raised his head and looked at Liu Huaiqiu. When he saw her gaze, he said with a smile, "I know you can understand. Although you are only a twelve-year-old child, your intelligence shouldn't change at all."

"Yes." Xie Qingming's eyes were very beautiful, not in any purple color, but in a very shallow and elegant purple color. When he stared at Liu Huai Qu, he was like a young predator as he carefully extended his claws and fangs.

"Then, are you willing to go to the Liu City?" Liu Huai Qu lowered his head and looked at Xie Qingming. Xie Qingming thought for a moment and looked at Xie Lu, "Master doesn't want to go to Liu City, is it because I might get hurt?"

"Qing Ming, don't think too much into it, child." Xie Lu patted Xie Qingming's head and looked at Liu HuaiQu, "Alliance Chief Liu, Qingming is still a child, I don't want him to …"

Before Xie Lu could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Xie Qingming's childish voice, "I'm willing to go to Liu City."

Xie Qingming's eyes widened as he looked at Xie Qingming. "Qingming, you …"

Xie Qingming stared at Xie Lu with misty purple eyes, "I'm willing to go to Liu City. If something really happens, I think it'll be because I'm stupid. I can't blame Master."

Xie Lu fell into silence. Liu Huai Qu stood up and said, "Please consider carefully, Sect Leader. Liu Cheng will always welcome the Gu Qing Sect."

"I know."

Inside the courtyard of the Gu Qing sect, Luo Ling was throwing rocks out of boredom. Tang Ming had just helped to clean up the mess of the chivalrous heroes when he saw Luo Ling squatting down and throwing rocks in the pool, looking dejected.

"What's wrong? Why are you so depressed?" Tang Ming approached Luo Ling and smelled it.

"It's nothing. I just felt that Senior Brother had finally agreed to come out and play, but was interrupted by such a messy matter." Luo Ling raised his head to look at Tang Ming. At this moment, Tang Ming was not wearing the black clothes he had always been wearing. Because he did not have any clothes, Liu Huai Qu had prepared a set of blue clothes for Tang Ming.

This was the second time that Luo Ling had seen Tang Ming wear anything other than black, and also the second time Tang Ming wore anything other than black.

"There's no other way." Tang Ming leaned his hands against his back and looked at the fish in the pond. "Maybe the heavens don't want me to be idle?"

"Oh …" Luo Ling curled his lips, his clothes becoming messy from being pulled by Luo Ling: "I just hope that senior brother can stay!"

Tang Ming smiled and did not continue the topic. "Right, where's Miao Miao?"

Luo Ling was stunned.

Ahh!

Tang Ming rubbed his ears, which had been shaken to the point where they were somewhat deaf. To Luo Ling, this was a step up from his level of unreliability.

"Senior apprentice-brother." Before Tang Ming could suggest that they go to the Liu Estate to fetch Xu Miao, a soft voice sounded out, "I thought senior had forgotten about me."

Luo Ling turned around and saw Xu Miao glaring at him angrily. He immediately rushed over and said, "Miao Miao, I'm sorry! I really didn't do it on purpose!"

Looking at the disdainful Xu Miao and Luo Ling, who had already given up on dealing with her once they got to Xu Miao, he didn't know what to say.

"It really is full of vitality?" At some point in time, Liu Huai Qu had appeared behind Tang Ming, and when she looked at Luo Ling, who did not seem to care at all, she could not help but open her mouth and say, "It has been hard on you to take care of this junior brother of yours."

Tang Ming did not know why, but he felt a bit unhappy after hearing what Liu Huai Qu said. Liu Huai Qu sounded like he was taking care of Luo Ling, just like how he was taking care of Liu Huai Qu's junior brother.

Although Tang Ming was not Luo Ling's unscrupulous master, he was not someone to be trifled with. At some point in time, he would definitely not let himself be wronged. Therefore, he coldly looked at Liu HuaiQu and said, "A'Ling was my junior brother before and is now my best friend."

The subtext meant that taking care of Luo Ling was no trouble at all. Furthermore, Liu Huai Qu was an outsider to them.

Liu Huai Qu was startled, but he wasn't angry at Tang Ming's mockery. Instead, he happily opened his mouth: "You misunderstood me at first, I just …"

Before Liu Huai Qu could say anything, Xie Lu came out from the house, "Chief Liu, Young Master Tang!"

Tang Ming turned his head at the same time. Seeing Xie Lu holding Xie Qingming's hand, Tang Ming was the first to speak, "It looks like Chief Liu still has some matters to attend to. Then, I'll take my leave first."

If Tang Ming was still the head disciple of the Cloud Sky Sect, then Tang Ming definitely wouldn't be able to stand idly by. But at this very moment, Tang Ming was only a young master with two sleeves in the clear, and a fragrance as sweet as the old days. For this kind of matter, Xie Lu was the first to come looking for Liu HuaiQu, but Tang Ming didn't want to be a nuisance to him.

As for Luo Ling, because he was too unreliable, he was probably ignored by Xie Lu.

Tang Ming looked at Luo Ling who was hugging Xu Miao and sighed. Luo Ling still had a long way to go!

"If that's the case, I wonder if you have the time to play a game of chess with me tonight?" Liu Huai Qu took a look. Xie Lu asked Tang Ming.

Tang Ming thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
