Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 128: Luo Qiaoqiao, show some backbone! [Seeking subscriptions for 10,000 more chapters]

Perhaps it was exactly what Venerable Huanxi had said to her before: "Xu You can easily deceive you, and you'll lose your bearings."

Xu You saw Luo Qiaoqiao leaving and immediately picked up his plate and followed her. After putting down the plate, he caught up with Luo Qiaoqiao's pace as she left the restaurant.

Outside, the two of them looked at the empty courtyard, and Luo Qiaoqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The evening breeze blew by, finally making Luo Qiaoqiao's complexion less rosy.

"Um, I'll go back first, I have something to do," Luo Qiaoqiao said, avoiding Xu You's gaze and speaking from the side of her face.

Xu You stared at her beautiful profile, a few strands of hair clinging to her delicate skin, and a guilty voice echoed in his heart.

Kiss! Her! Now! And you'll be a couple!

Looking at Luo Qiaoqiao at this moment, Xu You did feel the urge to embrace her, but the terrifying golden scissors restrained his desires. He simply said, "Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

Luo Qiaoqiao paused for a moment, then took a step forward, turned her back to Xu You, and said, "Um, let's hang out together later."

"Okay," Xu You nodded immediately.

"Well, goodbye," Luo Qiaoqiao waved her hand and quickened her pace.

Xu You stood in place, waving goodbye as he watched her figure recede.

At this moment, his mind was filled with the scene just now and the surging feeling brought about by the subtle ambiguity.

Damn it, it seems like I've fallen into it!

The extreme contrast between the excitement after the first ambiguity and the immediate separation brought about a strong aftertaste. Now, Xu You's mind was filled with Luo Qiaoqiao's exquisite and sweet smile.

This damn feeling is too overwhelming.

After a while, Xu You reluctantly shook his head and left.

The next morning, Xu You slowly opened his eyes after practicing all night.

Looking at the sunrise outside the window, he was momentarily lost in thought and suddenly remembered Luo Qiaoqiao.

He shook his head, suppressing the thought of her in his mind.

To be honest, if Luo Qiaoqiao wasn't a disciple of the Joyous Union Sect, Xu You would have no psychological pressure at all to pursue her directly.

Dating a girl like her would definitely be a perfect experience.

It's just a pity that not only does she have the golden scissors, but her master is even more ruthless. If they were to get together and do something out of line, it would be over.

He likes her, but Xu You currently doesn't have the impulse to tie all his future happiness to Luo Qiaoqiao.

Unless... hmm, Luo Qiaoqiao can give up the concept of the golden scissors.

That's a solution. Xu You immediately fell into deep thought, wondering if it's possible to achieve this and make Luo Qiaoqiao abandon the concept of the golden scissors.

Buzz...

The communication jade token in Xu You's pocket rang, waking him up. He took it out and looked at it.

Hey, whoever wants to come, it's from Luo Qiaoqiao.

The content was also very simple: Luo Qiaoqiao wanted Xu You to help her. Today, she was taking her students to hunt demons in the field.

Because she had just started as a teacher and was unfamiliar with this aspect, she wanted Xu You, an experienced person, to help her.

She said there were two reasons for this. First, Xu You had experience, and second, Xu You's popularity among the student group would help establish her "authority" as a teacher.

Her words were affirmative, as if she already knew that Xu You didn't have anything to do today and had the time to help her.

After reading the message, Xu You felt a bit suspicious. The reasons Luo Qiaoqiao came up with were too lame.

But today he really didn't have anything to do, and Luo Qiaoqiao rarely asked him for help.

It would be really unfair if I owed her such a big favor and made excuses not to help her.

Soon, Xu You replied to the other party's message and left Kunlun Tower.

Outside the west city of Tianque City, Luo Qiaoqiao stood quietly on a large flying boat, with her students sitting behind her.

In order to not waste time, she directly arranged to meet Xu You here and was now waiting for him to arrive.

At this moment, Luo Qiaoqiao didn't show any signs of abnormality on the surface, but her toes were tightly gripping the deck, and her eyes occasionally glanced in the direction of Tianque City.

Yes, she was very nervous now. She had been in a state of confusion all night since she returned yesterday.

Just thinking about the scene at the Jishi Academy yesterday afternoon, her heart would beat rapidly, completely out of control.

After a night, Luo Qiaoqiao finally understood that her emotions were completely controlled by Xu You.

Damn it!

After confirming this situation, Luo Qiaoqiao didn't feel embarrassed like other girls would, or try to be reserved.

Ambiguity fades away after a period of no contact, so it must be strengthened. Therefore, she overcame the mentality of a little girl and seized the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot!

Today happened to have classes, and the reason was also sufficient. Inviting Xu You to come wouldn't seem abrupt, but rather it would be better because of the presence of these students.

Yes, Luo Qiaoqiao wanted to completely win over Xu You with a series of attacks, so as to avoid having too many dreams as the night grew longer.

Thinking of her, Luo Qiaoqiao, from childhood to adulthood, she always had the determination to move forward and constantly climb higher.

She didn't like cultivation at first, but in order to maintain her master's face and reputation, she worked hard to cultivate and live up to others' expectations, becoming a talented disciple of the Joyous Union Sect at the fastest speed.

She was such a girl with strong initiative and pride.

So when facing Xu You, it was the same. These encounters were all initiated by her, using her master's secret techniques, and the effect was quite remarkable.

At least yesterday afternoon, she could feel that Xu You also liked her, but she didn't know why he was hesitant.

What a timid man, hmph!

This lady has to take the initiative to help him.

At this moment, Luo Qiaoqiao still didn't realize that Xu You's fear was not because he was timid, nor was it because he was shy, but purely because of her golden scissors.

"Teacher, will Mr. Xu really come later?" a student asked curiously, blinking their eyes.

Luo Qiaoqiao's thoughts were pulled back to reality, and she turned her head to smile sweetly at the student, "Yes, he will."

"Teacher, are you close with Mr. Xu?" another student asked excitedly.

Xu You's reputation at the Jishi Academy had been getting hotter day by day, so these students naturally wanted to learn from such a cool teacher like Xu You.

"We are close," Luo Qiaoqiao answered naturally, "We have known each other for a long time and have gone through many things together. Very close."

"Huh, then are you and Mr. Xu a couple?" the young person asked without any filter, without much thought, just casually asking.

Luo Qiaoqiao was taken aback, her ears instantly turned red. She neither confirmed nor denied it, just hummed and said that children shouldn't speak recklessly.

Just when Luo Qiaoqiao was feeling guilty, a figure shot across the sky and landed on the flying boat. It was Xu You.

As soon as he landed, he smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I'm a bit late."

Luo Qiaoqiao looked up at Xu You, looking at his eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth, looking at his beautiful smile under the sunlight.

Then she avoided his gaze and couldn't dare to look anymore, her ears turning even redder.

Damn it, she had overestimated herself.

Before Xu You came, she had great ambitions, thinking about how to handle Xu You later, how to make him surrender under her dazzling charm.

But now that Xu You was here, everything disappeared.

All that remained was the sound of her heartbeat and the mentality of a little girl.

Well, she really was disappointing. Luo Qiaoqiao, oh Luo Qiaoqiao, show some backbone!

Upon seeing Luo Qiaoqiao's behavior, Xu You also realized that the ambiguous atmosphere had started again. He immediately changed the topic and warmly greeted the students behind him.

These students had no idea about the current ambiguous atmosphere and surrounded Xu You, bombarding him with various questions.

Luo Qiaoqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She was extremely grateful that she had chosen this opportunity and setting to invite Xu You.

Having these students as a buffer was indeed very helpful.

Gradually, Luo Qiaoqiao's thoughts calmed down and she slowly returned to her usual self.

After chatting for a while, Luo Qiaoqiao said, "Let's go," and then commanded the flying boat to shoot off into the distance.

On the way, Xu You and Luo Qiaoqiao stood side by side, while the students obediently sat behind them.

"Sister, why do you have class today? Didn't you just have a class at the academy yesterday?" Xu You casually asked.

For people like them, classes were scheduled every few days, so it was unlikely to have such a high frequency of classes.

Luo Qiaoqiao's expression slightly froze upon hearing this, and she dared not look at Xu You, feeling somewhat guilty.

She couldn't possibly tell Xu You that she deliberately went to the Jishi Academy yesterday to coincidentally meet him. She vaguely explained, "Oh, it's nothing. Yesterday, I was substituting for my senior sister. She had something to do."

Xu You suddenly realized and didn't doubt her. Such things were common.

Then he asked about the specific details of this teaching task, and it didn't take long for him to understand.

The class Luo Qiaoqiao was teaching today was not difficult; it was a tracking class.

They were going to a place called Gucheng Mountain, over a thousand miles away. Recently, a rabbit demon with the cultivation level of the Third Realm had killed a family and escaped into Gucheng Mountain.

The Great Zhou officials did not send people to hunt and kill it; instead, they arranged for it to be a practical theory class at the Jishi Academy. Gucheng Mountain had a complex terrain, making it suitable for a tracking class.

Luo Qiaoqiao and the students were going to Gucheng Mountain to track down the rabbit demon and bring it to justice.

The rabbit demon was not strong, and rabbits were generally very good at hiding their tracks, so it was a practical exercise.

The journey of over a thousand miles didn't take much time due to the speed of the flying boat.

Looking down from high above, Gucheng Mountain was quite large. Rather than calling it a mountain, it was more like a large mountain range composed of continuous small mountains.

From above, the terrain inside was indeed complex, with many small sects and factions built within the mountains. Naturally, there were also cultivators or demons hiding in this deep mountain.

Luo Qiaoqiao parked the flying boat at the foot of the mountain on the right side and, after getting off, immediately said to her students, "Stay close to me and don't get separated."

"Yes, teacher," the students obediently nodded.

Xu You glanced at the students. Just like the ones he was leading, they were always excited when doing this kind of practical task.

Xu You didn't say much. He planned to let Luo Qiaoqiao teach on her own, and if there was anything she couldn't handle, he would step in.

But he believed in Luo Qiaoqiao's professional abilities. There should be no problem in tracking a Third Realm rabbit and teaching these students well.

And indeed, as Xu You had expected, Luo Qiaoqiao grew up in the Joyous Union Sect and had done many tasks from the beginning of her cultivation until now. She had a wealth of experience, and her thinking was clear when it came to tracking the whereabouts of the rabbit.

She confidently explained to her students, who listened attentively, asking questions and taking notes diligently.

Meanwhile, Xu You observed the surrounding environment while taking out a document about Jiushen County and carefully read the introduction about Gucheng Mountain.

Being cautious was something Xu You intended to uphold throughout his cultivation journey. It was necessary to have a deep understanding of unknown places when conducting tasks there.

After all, Gucheng Mountain was a spiritual mountain and river, so it was essential to be cautious.

The document provided a lot of information about Gucheng Mountain. The name of Gucheng Mountain originated from a city called Gucheng, which was three hundred miles away.

Gucheng City was a medium-sized city within Jiushen County, with a large population and many cultivators. Gucheng Mountain fell under the jurisdiction of Gucheng City.

It was the largest mountain range among the surrounding cities, with over a dozen registered small sects and one medium-sized sect called Gucheng Sect.

There were also many independent cultivators and demonic cultivators scattered in these mountains. Indeed, many offenders would hide here, making it a small ecosystem for cultivation.

Or rather, the reason why Gucheng City ranked high among the cities surrounding Tianque City was largely due to Gucheng Mountain.

It was a great place to accumulate achievements!

So official organizations like the Monster Control Bureau love to come to Gucheng City for rotation, quickly brushing up their political achievements.

After understanding all this, Xu You felt that Gucheng City was like a hunting ground. Does Gucheng City also have the meaning of nurturing enemies?

"Sister, we still need to be careful here. The area is complex, and the cultivation environment is also complex," Xu You reminded.

"Okay," Luo Qiaoqiao nodded, then said to the students, "Now I will teach you a technique called Seeking the Hidden Art. This is specifically used to find the whereabouts of Monster Cultivators who are good at hiding."

This rabbit monster is good at shapeshifting and can transform into any plant or stone. If you are not careful, it will escape. So we need to maintain a constant state of using the Seeking the Hidden Art."

As she spoke, Luo Qiaoqiao taught her students the incantation.

This technique is actually very simple, and the students at Shiji Academy all have talent. After teaching for an hour, most people have mastered it.

At this time, Luo Qiaoqiao released a small bird and let it fly away. She said to the human disciples, "This bird will hide within a ten-li radius. You have the time it takes for an incense stick to use the Seeking the Hidden Art to find it."

Upon hearing this, the students excitedly scattered to search for the bird.

Luo Qiaoqiao and Xu You stayed in place. Xu You looked at Luo Qiaoqiao with some surprise. From just now until now, he discovered that Luo Qiaoqiao has the potential to be a good teacher.

This straightforward teaching method is very effective, and her perception easily covers this area. There is no need to worry about any accidents happening to these students.

"Sister, you're amazing. I realize that I'm not here to teach you, I'm here to learn," Xu You laughed.

"It's not bad," Luo Qiaoqiao said, standing with her hands on her hips, looking around. "But that rabbit monster is not easy to find in these vast mountains. We can't let the students search separately."

"Do you have a solution?" she asked.

"I do have a solution," Xu You smiled. "There is a sect called Gucheng Sect here. I can go to Gucheng Sect and ask their disciples to help us find the rabbit monster."

As the local power, Gucheng Sect should be able to find it quickly. Once we determine the hiding place of the rabbit monster, we can explore in that direction."

"Oh, that works too," Luo Qiaoqiao blinked her eyes and looked at Xu You. "But isn't this cheating?"

"For many things, fighting alone not only wastes time but also has no meaning. Cooperative combat is also a part of teaching and is worth learning," Xu You said with a smile. "Unity is strength. Moreover, we can take a detour on the way. The focus of this teaching is not the result, but the process of searching."

"As long as they can find it and use the Seeking the Hidden Art flexibly, then today's teaching goal will be achieved. Asking for help from others only greatly shortens the meaningless time we would have spent on this process."

After listening to Xu You's words, Luo Qiaoqiao seemed thoughtful. At first glance, it seemed like a simple way to complete the teaching faster, but it seemed to involve more comprehensive considerations that a young person might not think of.

"Why do I feel like you are more mature than me, even though I'm older than you?" Luo Qiaoqiao muttered.

Xu You paused for a moment. "I grew up poor and my master didn't really take care of me, so I had to rely on myself more. I learned a lot through practice."

"Doesn't Senior Mo take care of you? Isn't she a good person?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked curiously.

"Senior Mo is okay to me, but she lacks a sense of responsibility, you know. Besides, I'm not following her Great Dao, so there are many aspects she can't teach me. So I rely on myself more."

The conversation then turned to the two's teenage years, and they began to learn more about each other's pasts.

When a man and a woman start talking about these things, it often means that they are not far from the final step, but both of them obviously did not realize this.

They were just casually chatting about their lives and masters, gradually gaining a deeper understanding of each other.

"My master doesn't have any serious hobbies. She's lazy and just stays in bed all day reading some gambling manual. I can't stand her lazy and aimless attitude. I don't even know how long it's been since I last saw her in closed-door cultivation. She's not ambitious at all!"

"What? Is Senior Mo like that? That's not right. She's a sword immortal."

"What sword immortal? She made a name for herself when she was young, but now she's just living off her past reputation. She doesn't take care of most things in the sect and leaves them to the elders. Many times when the sect leader asks her to attend meetings, she doesn't care. In recent years, she has become more and more reclusive."

"She looks good and young, and she was indeed powerful when she was young. That's why you have a filter on her. But if you look closely, she's just like that. Looking good doesn't put food on the table."

(Note: Couldn't control myself and talked about two chapters of romance again.)
