Chapter 369 A big drama
"Hopefully, when we get there, the sect leader and the others will still be at the Tianhe Guild Hall. Otherwise, Tianjian City is so big, it will be really difficult for us to find them," Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Qin Qing replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Qingshan, they must be inside the Tianhe Club. I informed Manager Qi before I came and told them to wait for us at the club for the next two days."
The current Heavenly Sword City is a mixed bag, and it's easy for them to get into danger if they go out on their own. It would be better if we took them to explore Heavenly Sword City.”
Hearing Qin Qing's words, Lu Qingshan frowned and said, "Qing, you're very thoughtful."
"How arrogant!" Shen Xu couldn't help but sigh. Since Lu Qingshan had so casually brushed the matter aside, he didn't say anything more and just assumed that Qin Qing was acting out of kindness.
But then he heard a very dissatisfied voice in his ear.
"I remember the Green Bamboo Sword Sect seemed to have checked into the Tianhe Club with a Blue Gold Invitation. Is this how your Qin family treats the distinguished guests of the Tianhe Sword Sect?" Bai Lu's voice was full of coldness.
"Senior Sister Bai..." Qin Qing seemed surprised by Bai Lu's strong reaction and was momentarily stunned.
"Senior sister, I..." Qin Qing was about to explain when Bai Lu interrupted her.
"I don't care what your reason was, but the end result is that the people of the Green Bamboo Sword Sect have lost their right to freely enter and leave the Tianhe Guild Hall because of your words. I want you to apologize to them when you get there."
"Okay!" Qin Qing couldn't help but lower her head.
Shen Xu looked at Bai Lu with great surprise, but there was no acting in Bai Lu's eyes, as if she was genuinely angry about Qin Qing's actions.
"Sect Leader, Xiao Qing is only doing this for our own good. She probably doesn't have any ill intentions towards the Green Bamboo Sword Sect," Lu Qingshan defended Qin Qing.
Bai Lu glanced at Lu Qingshan with some disgust, then said indifferently, "I know."
They arrived at Tianhe Club in silence, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
The guards at the door immediately changed their expressions upon seeing Bai Lu, then straightened up and respectfully bowed, saying, "Greetings, Miss."
Bai Lu ignored them and walked straight into the guild hall.
"Bai Lu, what brings you here? Does the Sword Master have any instructions?" Yu An appeared beside Bai Lu without her noticing, but he was puzzled when he saw Qin Qing and Lu Qingshan behind Bai Lu.
“I have some business to attend to down the mountain, so I can give them a ride.”
"I see." Yu An's gaze shifted to Shen Xu.
"You must be Shen Xu! You are indeed a handsome man. I remember when the Sword Alliance was recruiting, we searched all over Tianjian City but couldn't find you. I never expected that you would voluntarily join the Tianhe Society." Yu An couldn't help but laugh as he recalled the incident.
"Actually, it wasn't voluntary. I had made an agreement with Bai Lu to join the Tianhe Society, but the Tianhe Society also suits my tastes very well," Shen Xu replied with a smile.
"It seems Bai Lu made the right decision back then. Alright! You all wait in the reception room for a while, I'll send someone to fetch them."
"Thank you, Elder Yu," Shen Xu said, bowing slightly, while secretly wondering who would be coming to Heavenly Sword City this time.
He only wanted to see Wu Qi and Yang Qiqi; he didn't care about anyone else.
But Lu Qingshan's performance earlier made him look forward to their meeting with Wang Ya. He wondered if Lu Qingshan could still maintain his composure when facing Wang Ya.
The reception room of Tianhe Club is decorated in a very luxurious and magnificent style.
"I wonder who Senior Brother Lu most wants to see?" Shen Xu asked with a smile.
"It must be Qingqing. I've been taking care of her both at home and in the sect. I don't know if she'll be able to take care of herself after I leave."
"Lu Qingqing?" Shen Xu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"What, didn't she tell you she's my sister?"
"This..." He really didn't know that Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingqing had this kind of relationship, but they did look somewhat similar in name and appearance.
"Qingshan, you actually have a younger sister!" Qin Qing said with some surprise.
"Xiao Qing, you've never asked me about this, so I haven't mentioned it to you," Lu Qingshan said apologetically.
"It's alright! I also really want to meet your sister, Aoyama. I imagine she's a very well-behaved girl."
Upon hearing this, both Shen Xu and Lu Qingshan had somewhat strange expressions.
"Shen Xu, who do you most want to see?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.
“I guess it should be Wu Qi. He’s Junior Brother Shen’s best friend in the sect, without a doubt,” Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
"Senior Brother Lu guessed correctly. I wonder if he has broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm yet."
"Shen Xu, you're underestimating me too much. I've already broken through to the Qi Condensation Realm." At this moment, a cheerful voice came from outside the open door.
Shen Xu turned his head and saw Song Qi leading Wu Qi and the others into the reception room.
"Greetings, Sect Leader!" Shen Xu and Lu Qingshan bowed to Song Qi.
"No need for such formalities. Your future achievements will far surpass mine. It would be beneath my dignity to bow to you." Song Qi hurriedly helped the two of them up.
"Sect Leader, you flatter us. We would never have come here without the Green Bamboo Sword Sect. You are worthy of this honor," Lu Qingshan said solemnly.
“Senior Brother Lu is right,” Shen Xu agreed.
"Ah! You are all good children. The Green Bamboo Sword Sect should be thanking you."
Bai Lu looked at the group of people behind Song Qi. There were four women and one man. Two pairs of eyes fell on Shen Xu, and two pairs of eyes fell on Lu Qingshan.
The only man was looking around; he must be Wu Qi, whom Shen Xu had mentioned.
But the other two girls' gazes were a bit off; they seemed to have a special relationship with Shen Xu.
Just as she expected, Shen Xu would attract girls no matter where he was. It was definitely the right decision for her to come along. She absolutely could not let these two girls fall into Shen Xu's clutches.
She gave Qin Qing a wink, and Qin Qing immediately understood what she meant. So she bowed and apologized, saying, "It was Steward Qi who made you all wait for a while. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience caused."
"What's the big deal? It didn't take long," Song Qi said nonchalantly.
"But Qingshan, who is this young lady?" Song Qi looked at Qin Qing, who was standing next to Lu Qingshan apologizing, with some confusion.
"She is..." Before Lu Qingshan could finish introducing her, Qin Qing interrupted, "Qin Qing is considered Qingshan's Daoist partner."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the Qingzhu Sword Sect members all changed, with Wang Ya and Lu Qingshan's expressions becoming particularly grim.
Wu Qi's face was ashen, and he tried several times to break free from Wang Ya's grasp, but Wang Ya stopped him each time.
Song Qi sighed softly and then said, "What a wonderful Daoist partner! I'm also very happy to see that Qingshan has found his home. I hope that Miss Qin will take good care of Qingshan in the future. He's like a child I've watched grow up."
"Please rest assured, Sect Leader Song, Qingshan is very talented. With my help, he will definitely achieve even greater success in the Four Directions Sword Alliance." Qin Qing took Lu Qingshan's hand.
"Then I'm relieved." Song Qi couldn't help but sigh again.
Seeing that Lu Qingshan remained silent, Lu Qingqing turned and walked out, while Wang Ya chased after her in a flustered manner.
Yang Qiqi and Jiang Yun looked at Bai Lu. If Qin Qing was Lu Qingshan's Daoist partner, then who was the girl next to Shen Xu?
Seeing that Wu Qi seemed to want to question Lu Qingshan, Shen Xu frowned and shook his head at him.
Wu Qi's face turned cold, and after letting out a cold snort, he also walked out.
