C21 People Have Three Anxieties

Since the Heavenly Sword Sect was aiming for the position of one of the five great sects, the banquet was naturally not going to be bad. Not long after the host and the guest sat down, Xue Qilin saw plates of delicious food being served one after another.

The Snow Qilin was drooling as it stared at the delicious dishes. At the same time, it thought to itself,'Would it not cause a labor dispute if I were to use child labor?'

Hwa Tianji gave a few introductory remarks as usual, and then everyone started to eat.

However, just as Xue Qilin finished half a bowl of rice, Hwa Tianji suddenly said in a loud and clear voice,

"I feel that just sitting here and eating is a bit too boring. Why don't we all communicate with each other?"

"Then I'll have to thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Hua!" Everyone answered at the same time.

The Snow Qilin, who was originally focused on fighting with a river fish, was shocked. Its hand suddenly shook and it picked up the fish.

With a pa sound, the fish flipped out of the plate and fell onto the table.

The Xue Qilin looked at the fish that it hadn't eaten in a daze. It mourned for a long time.

Then, she slowly put down her chopsticks and looked around.

"Eh? Why are you all standing up? Are you going to end the feast? I've only eaten half a bowl of rice!"

Xue Qilin asked in surprise as it watched the crowd leave.

Lo Qing had just sent away a young man who greeted her and greeted her. He then turned around and said,

"After all, we are people from the martial arts world, so we don't pay attention to those rules."

"Is that so?"

..." Young Martial Ancestor, do you want to walk around?"

Xue Qilin handed the rice bowl to Lo Qing. There was still half a bowl of rice inside.

She had waited for a whole night for nothing, and she had to sleep for a long time. She had missed her morning and noon meals. That was why she hadn't eaten a single thing for nearly half a day. Now that she was able to eat, she naturally didn't have the mood to walk around. She just kept her head down and ate.

"I got it. Then let's sit down." Lo Qing agreed.

She seemed to have eaten her fill and didn't add any more rice. She only occasionally picked up a mouthful of food for the Xue Qilin. Meanwhile, Gong Tianqing, who was sitting on the other side of the Xue Qilin, had already stopped eating. She sat there quietly and occasionally looked around curiously.

According to the Xue Qilin, Gong Tianqing was at an age of great curiosity. If she wasn't such a timid person, she would probably have asked him if he could leave.

When it thought of this, the Xue Qilin took the initiative to speak.

"Qing, if you want to walk around, go ahead. You don't have to sit here and accompany me. I'll just eat by myself. Oh, Little Qing, you too."

Gong Tianqing retracted her gaze and looked at her in surprise.

Xue Qilin pointed its chin at a group of young girls who were chatting in the corner and motioned for Gong Tianqing to join them.

Then, Gong Tianqing looked at Lo Qing with a look of anticipation.

"Since Little Master has said so, you should accept her good intentions."

"Thank you, thank you, young grandmaster."

"What are you thanking me for?!"

Xue Qilin wrinkled its nose and waved its hands as if it was shooing him away.

"Hurry up and go. If they get on your nerves later, you won't be able to go even if you want to."

As it spoke, the Snow Qilin glanced at the approaching young men. Most of their gazes fell on Gong Tianqing.

Gong Tianqing was shocked. She quickly left her seat and walked towards the group of young girls in the corner.

'Don't even think about touching my Qing!' Out of the corner of its eye, the Snow Qilin looked at the group of youths who were depressed because of Gong Tianqing's departure and snorted.

Then, she realized that Lo Qing was still sitting beside her, so she asked with good intentions,

"Little Qing, aren't you going?"

Lo Qing shook her head lightly and said with a bitter smile,

"I am much older than them, so I don't have anything in common."

Much older? Did it mean age? At first, the Snow Qilin glanced at Lo Qing's chest in a dirty manner. However, when it realized that Lo Qing was only at an average level, it then thought about his age.

"Little Qing, how old are you?"

As the saying goes, age was a woman's secret and it was a taboo, but the Xue Qilin asked Lo Qing without hesitation.

Lo Qing was stunned for a long time, but he still answered generously:

"I'm almost thirty years old."

"What? What? You're already thirty years old?!"

'Is he trying to trick me?' The Snow Qilin was so shocked that it accidentally raised its voice, attracting the attention of many people.

Lo Qing's face turned red, which was rare for him. It seemed as if the gazes from the surroundings made it a little difficult for her to express her feelings.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was careless for a moment. I was careless for a moment."

Xue Qilin also realized this and quickly apologized.

"Speaking of which, I thought that Xiao Qing was only a little older than Qi. I didn't expect her to be older than Qi by more than a decade." This time, she purposely lowered her voice.

Lo Qing was stunned for a moment, as if she did not understand why the other party would say that.

"The ageing of those of us who practice martial arts is slower than that of an ordinary person. The Palace Lord stepped into the Earth Stage at the age of two-eighties. I reckon that her appearance won't change much in the next twenty years. "

"Sigh, I forgot that there is such a thing."

Xue Qilin clapped its hands in realization. She had almost forgotten about it.

Qi Guiyuan had said that martial artists aged much slower than ordinary people, and their lifespans were also clearly longer, and this difference would also become more and more obvious as one's cultivation increased. When one's cultivation reached a certain point, one would even be able to freely control the appearance of their body, achieving the effect of rejuvenating their youth.

He was already thirty years old, but he still looked like a child. It was also because he had inherited half of Qi Guiyuan's strength that he had returned to youth.

Of course, the situation with the Xue Qilin was still special. It could even be said to be unique. After all, no one else would be like her and even their gender would change.

"Little ancestor, you..."

The other party's complicated expression caused the Xue Qilin's heart to race.

Could it be that she had seen through it?

Lo Qing wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she sighed in a slightly melancholic manner.

"Little Martial Ancestor, thank you for your hard work."

Her tone was filled with pity and sigh at the same time.

"What do you mean?" Xue Qilin was stunned.

"According to what the Palace Lord said, Little Martial Ancestor, you seem to have been locked up in the Sword Tomb by your master since you were young. Is that correct?"

"Ugh... That's right."

Qi Guiyuan had already colluded with her on this matter.

After getting the answer, Lo Qing lowered his eyes and said softly:

"Although it sounds a little disrespectful, I would still like to say... Young Master, your master did not do his duty. He did not teach you what he should teach you, nor did he give you what he should teach you."

Her tone was very complicated. There was anger and pity.

It wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but Xue Qilin felt a hint of regret and guilt.

However, the Xue Qilin was more concerned about why Lo Qing had such thoughts.

She probably thought that the Xue Qilin was unfamiliar with the world because of the fact that it was locked up in the Sword Tomb.

No matter what the reason was, she was sure that it was because she felt sad and indignant for her.

She was a kind person... Xue Qilin sighed with emotion in his heart.

The atmosphere was a little tense. The Xue Qilin didn't really like this kind of atmosphere.

When she wanted to say something to liven up the atmosphere, she suddenly saw that figure and was instantly stunned.

"Little, Little Qing, what... what's going on? Is there a cosplay now? "

Xue Qilin pointed into the distance in fear as it asked while grabbing Lo Qing's arm.

She was referring to a young girl.

However, this young girl was a little different from ordinary people. She had more than one pair of ears.

There was a pair of ears at the top of the young girl's head. A pair of thin and thin ears that were slightly bent forward like those of a hunchbacked old man were covered with short white fur.

"Crane... quilt?"

Lo Qing looked in the direction where the Xue Qilin was pointing at and blinked his eyes in confusion.

"It's that beast-eared girl!"

..." Beast ear?"

It took Lo Qing a while to understand what was going on, but then he said with a smile,

"Little Martial Ancestor, that's Elder Bai from the Spirit Moon Valley."

"Is that so? No way! I just want to know why she has a rabbit ear on her head!"

"Alas, so that's what you were asking... Because most of the people in the Spirit Moon Valley are Martial Demon! "

"Martial Demon? You mean that Beast Ear Girl is the same thing as Little White who is twenty-one years old?"

Xue Qilin was shocked. It was so shocked that it almost stood up.

No matter what, she couldn't think of a whiteboard that was a cat as the same thing as a rabbit-eared girl who was a human no matter how she looked at it.

"Ohh, oh, Little Grand Master might not know, but after the Martial Demon has cultivated to the Earth Stage, it will be able to transform into a human form. However, there are still some differences between it and a human being, and basically all of them will retain the characteristics of their original body, just like the Elder Bai of the Spirit Moon Valley. She was originally a type of Martial Demon called the Moon White Rabbit, so after she transformed into a human form, she will have a pair of rabbit ears."

After the Snow Qilin heard this, it only felt a wave of dizziness. The fact that the strange beasts that were able to cultivate martial arts were already ridiculous, but they were actually able to cultivate into a human form? Was this world a Xianxia world or a martial arts world?

Just as the Snow Qilin was lost in its thoughts, a strong voice suddenly sounded in the hall.

"Everyone, I am Zhang Yu from Heavenly Sword Sect."

The one who spoke was a young man. From his words, it could be seen that he was a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yu. He cupped his hands in all directions and then raised his voice:

"Today, all the seniors from different sects are here. Why don't we juniors come out and spar with each other so that the seniors present can comment on us, so that we can gain some opinions and experience - Master, seniors, what do you think?"

"Mm... Yu Er's suggestion is not bad."

Hwa Tianji nodded and said in a clear voice:

"The world of martial arts has been peaceful for a long time, and there are very few opportunities to exchange blows with each other. There is still some time before the Community of Martial Arts Conference, and I am honored by your presence at this banquet. It is rare for me to gather people from various sects and it is also a good opportunity for you to exchange blows, but - "

At this point, his tone changed: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"With the younger generation fighting to their heart's content, even us of the older generation will feel a little itch. Furthermore, it is rare that the Heavenly Jade Palace's Little Martial Ancestor, Senior Xue, is also present, so why don't we challenge each other as an exchange? What do you think?"

Hwa Tianji's words caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.

"Young Martial Ancestor, I'm afraid Sect Master Hua is here for us..."

Lo Qing furrowed his brows and whispered into Xue Qilin's ear.

"Is that so? Finally, they have come to look for us! It really is a bad feast... Oh right, what should we do then? Should we use the earth to block them?"

"The Palace Lord means to keep a low profile. As long as they know that there is another Heaven Stage in the Heavenly Jade Palace."

"What do you mean?" Xue Qilin asked casually.

..."Deterrence."

The Snow Qilin acknowledged and began to think.

To be honest, she didn't have much of an opinion about the future development of the Heavenly Jade Palace. She wasn't familiar with everything, so she could only think about herself.

If she accepted Hwa Tianji's challenge, she didn't know how troublesome it would be. Even if no one challenged her, she would at least have to give them some pointers. If that was the case, her martial arts knowledge would be exposed.

Thinking about it, the answer was obvious.

The Snow Qilin made its decision without hesitation. It stood up, turned around, and walked out.

..."Senior Xue, where are you going?" Hwa Tianji's surprised voice sounded from behind.

"Everyone has three worries!"

Xue Qilin didn't even turn its head as it spoke. It completely ignored the shocked and doubtful gazes of the crowd as it floated away.
