Who Taught You To Cultivate Immortality Like This?

Chapter 57: Exploring Together

There were snack stalls everywhere on the street, and Luo Qiaoqiao was clearly very interested. She walked and stopped along the way, buying and eating whatever delicious food she saw.

"It's not like you don't eat anything?" Luo Qiaoqiao asked Xu You, biting into a pastry.

"I'm not hungry," Xu You shook his head.

"What do you do besides cultivating?"

"Preparing the things needed for cultivation."

"Don't you get tired of it?"

"It's alright, I'm used to it."

"How boring."

Xu You smiled, "Actually, I..."

Before he could finish his retort, Luo Qiaoqiao lightly ran towards a pancake stall on the left, holding up her dress.

"Shopkeeper, two pancakes, with extra meat."

She said, leaning slightly forward, fanning the steaming aroma with her hand and breathing it in.

Xu You looked at Luo Qiaoqiao in a daze, stopping in his tracks. Looking at Luo Qiaoqiao's current appearance, he inexplicably felt a sense of relaxation.

It had been a long time since he had experienced this feeling.

Having been in this world for over three years, his mind was indeed filled with cultivation, forgetting to open his eyes and look at the subtle aspects of this world.

Like this, Xu You turned his head and looked at the lively scene around him, completely different from the modern world.

Simplicity, hope, beauty, scenes after scenes directly splashed onto him, as if the ancient paintings that had never been real suddenly came to life in his eyes.

"What are you looking at?"

After who knows how long, Luo Qiaoqiao waved her left hand in front of Xu You, waking him up.

"This is delicious, try it." Luo Qiaoqiao handed Xu You a piece of pancake.

Then she couldn't wait to put the other piece into her mouth, taking a bite, and the delicious juice dripped from the corner of her mouth.

The pancake was steaming hot, Luo Qiaoqiao blew on it, fanning it with her left hand.

How could an immortal cultivator be burned by food?

Only then did Xu You realize that Luo Qiaoqiao didn't use any cultivation at all, completely enjoying the food like an ordinary person.

This Luo Qiaoqiao was indeed a strange girl.

Xu You also picked up a pancake and started eating. The taste was indeed delicious, and he couldn't stop after the first bite.

Luo Qiaoqiao continued walking, casually saying, "You know, I often like to go outside to eat. It's not that the food in the mortal world is tastier. It just has a different flavor in my eyes."

"Did you grow up in the Joyous Union Sect?" Xu You gradually adapted to the state of being with Luo Qiaoqiao and asked.

"No, I grew up in a small town. I was admitted to the Joyous Union Sect when I was twelve," Luo Qiaoqiao replied.

"I see, what you're eating is not just delicious food, but also the memories of your childhood that give you a more flavorful taste," Xu You smiled.

Luo Qiaoqiao turned her head and looked at Xu You, scrutinizing him up and down, making him feel uncomfortable. Xu You touched his own face, "Is there something on my face?"

"You're so cheesy. What a cliché line from a romance novel," Luo Qiaoqiao mercilessly mocked.

Xu You was momentarily stunned, unable to react to the other party's advanced thinking.

"But your idea just now was quite innovative," Luo Qiaoqiao opened her arms and took a deep breath, "I do enjoy the bustling secular world, it reminds me of happy childhood memories. I didn't expect someone as boring as you to say something like that."

"Boring?" Xu You retorted, "I am a cultured person, are you saying I'm boring?"

"Mhmm," Luo Qiaoqiao nodded absentmindedly, then pointed eagerly at the large square ahead with shining eyes, "We're here!"

Xu You helplessly followed her gaze.

There was a huge stage over there, adorned with various gemstones that shimmered in different places, making the grand stage look magnificent.

The area around the stage was packed with people, both cultivators and ordinary folks, creating a lively atmosphere. The name they were all shouting together was "Miss Huo Xianzi."

At this moment, many people on the stage were busy making final preparations before the music appreciation event began.

Xu You looked in astonishment at the music appreciation event in front of him, which was comparable in scale to the grandest concert.

But the May Pavilion had really gone all out this time.

Not only was the stage luxurious, but the entire core area of Xichuan City was also decorated with lights and decorations, creating a festive and lively atmosphere.

At first, Xu You was a little puzzled, but he soon learned from the comments of the surrounding audience that all of this was orchestrated by Princess Zhou Wujin of Xicheng County.

In three days, it would be the 90th birthday of Madam Shangguan Changge, and the city had already begun preparations for the celebration. This music appreciation event, including Huo Lianyi's performance, was personally invited and supervised by Princess Zhou Wujin.

It would last for three days to celebrate Madam Shangguan's birthday.

After understanding the reason, Xu You was somewhat speechless. It seemed that Zhou Wujin loved his wife very much. If he were to stubbornly give a birthday gift to his wife, wouldn't that be ignorant?

Luo Qiaoqiao, who was beside him, immediately handed two tickets to the organizer, and someone led her and Xu You to the spacious front row.

The view here was excellent, and the large stage in front could be seen clearly.

Xu You looked at Luo Qiaoqiao's face, full of surprise and excitement, completely resembling a starstruck fan. It could only be said that Luo Qiaoqiao had quite a few idols.

"Luo Shijie, besides doing business with me and watching Huo Xianzi, do you have any other business in Xichuan City?" Taking advantage of the preparations on the stage, Xu You asked his doubts.

Luo Qiaoqiao restrained her excitement and looked at Xu You without hiding anything. "There's a senior sister who betrayed our sect and is now hiding in Xichuan City. I came here to handle this matter."

"Another betrayal?" Xu You looked at Luo Qiaoqiao with a strange expression.

It was normal for Xue Beishang to betray them last time, but another betrayal in such a short time was not logical.

Which disciple would easily betray the Five Sects and Seven Schools?

Unusual occurrences must have a cause.

Luo Qiaoqiao was indeed clever. Without waiting for Xu You to inquire further, she took the initiative to explain, "Do you remember the strangeness of Xue Beishang last time?"

"Of course I remember," Xu You nodded.

"After investigating, our sect found out that Xue Beishang's Dao Foundation was infected with demonic seeds. It should have been planted by a cultivator from the demonic path during a mission."

"This caused him to undergo a complete mental transformation and directly embark on the evil path," Luo Qiaoqiao explained.

Xu You's face wrinkled slightly. He hadn't expected this answer.

Ordinarily, cultivators from the demonic path wouldn't easily deal with the people of the Five Sects and Seven Schools. It was a taboo.

The demonic path was not as powerful as before. In the last Great Dao Era, the demonic path almost lost its heritage. It was only in the past few thousand years that it had slowly recovered some vitality.

But overall, their strength was far inferior to that of the righteous path cultivators, with a significant gap.

"Which sect would dare to do such a thing to the Joyous Union Sect?" Xu You asked.

"At the moment, it is highly probable that it was done by the Demon Alliance, but we don't know which sect within the alliance," Luo Qiaoqiao shook her head, "However, our sect speculates that it's not just the Joyous Union Sect facing this situation, other sects might also be affected."
