Chapter 1458: Chapter 1417 Treating Illness

“Old Mu, do you know who lives on Little Frost Peak?”

“Little Frost Peak? Why are you asking about that?”

“Just pure curiosity, if you can’t say, then forget it.”

“It’s not exactly a secret in the Penglai Immortal Sect.”

Mu Changchen waved his hand and said solemnly, “The daughter of the sect master, Sun Zhaozhao, lives on Little Frost Peak. Speaking of which, the sect master’s daughter’s talent is also excellent and has already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm at a young age. Although compared to Lu Chuan…”

Seeing Mu Changchen was about to go on a long tangent, Lu Chuan quickly interrupted the old man, helplessly saying, “I was just casually asking, no need to explain so much.”

“Hey, you rascal, why are you so disrespectful to your elders?”

“Yes, yes, I’ll come back later to pay my respects. I’m heading out.”

“Where are you off to now?”

“Back to the Outer Sect for a bit, I’ve left some important things there, I need to retrieve them.”

“Go, go, just come back quickly.”

Mu Changchen saw it openly. After all, he too was young once. A strapping young man, there are some things that shouldn’t be said and shouldn’t be asked. In cultivation, there’s no such thing as the taboo against losing one’s virginity. Who hasn’t indulged when they were young?

“But, you young man, should watch your health, don’t take things too far.”

“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”

With that, Lu Chuan waved and got up to leave Sky-Reaching Peak.

The sky was growing dark, and the moonlight draped like a thin veil over the endless peaks, presenting a rare beautiful scene. Lu Chuan hummed a tune as he made his way to the foot of Little Frost Peak, but before he could approach further, a sword was already pointed at his neck.

Lu Chuan had naturally sensed the presence of the shadow early on, but to avoid revealing his identity, he refrained from saying much and feigned ignorance. It wasn’t until the shadow appeared that Lu Chuan expressed great surprise.

“It’s you? The person from earlier today.”

“Qin Tao, this is Little Frost Peak, outsiders are not allowed to approach, don’t you understand?”

“What is there to understand that doesn’t suit me to come on my own? It’s your young lady who invited me here. Otherwise, do you think I’d relish traveling far in the night to come here?”

With a cold laugh, Lu Chuan tapped the longsword pointed at his neck and said in a deep voice, “The sword is nice, if you don’t believe me, feel free to ask your master. I’ll wait for you for ten minutes, if after ten minutes you haven’t appeared, I’ll be sure to head straight back.”

Seeing ‘Qin Tao”s confident expression, the shadow furrowed his brow and pondered for a while, deciding to go ask the lady for clarification.

“Do not move from here, I’ll go…”

“Retract the latter half of your sentence! If you dare say it, I’ll fight you right now, do you believe it?”

“What the latter half… you’re really boring.”

Sighing lightly, the shadow sheathed the long sword and vanished from the scene.

Before long, the shadow returned. Lu Chuan glanced at the time – indeed not yet ten minutes had passed, still punctual.

Compared to earlier, the shadow’s attitude was now noticeably more polite, and in his gaze towards Lu Chuan, there was a hint of doubt.

“The young lady says to invite you up.”

“See, what did I say? If it weren’t for your young lady inviting me over, do you think I’d relish coming?”

“Don’t be too smug, boy, though the young lady hasn’t explicitly stated why she invited you, I can clearly tell you, should you dare cross any boundaries with her, I’ll kill you!”

“Oh dear, I’m so frightened. Threatening me? Do you believe I’ll leave right now?”

“You! Get up there quickly!”

The shadow grabbed Lu Chuan’s collar and directly threw him onto the steps. Lu Chuan stumbled a few steps, grumbling, “Is handling counted too? If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely turn and leave!”

“I can’t be bothered to listen to your nonsense.”

Being someone appointed by the sect master personally to protect the young lady, arguing with such a person was utterly pointless. The shadow waved disdainfully, urging Lu Chuan to hurry up.

Following the steps straight to the mountain top, Lu Chuan reached out with his perception power. Hmm, only Kong Zhaozhao’s presence was on the mountain top. Apparently, the woman wasn’t vicious enough to ambush him with a group of axemen at the mountain top, waiting to charge and hack Lu Chuan into pieces when she gave the signal.

But then, considering Qin Tao’s apparent Golden Core First Layer, Kong Zhaozhao, being at the Nascent Soul Realm, naturally wouldn’t be scared of Qin Tao.

Straight to the mountain top, Lu Chuan parted the bamboo blocking his path and saw Kong Zhaozhao seated in the Lake Heart Pavilion. She wore a light blue long dress, its hem floating on the water’s surface, while a gentle breeze rippled the pool of spring water.

“You’re here.”

Without lifting her head, Kong Zhaozhao continued to draw on the desk. Lu Chuan nodded helplessly and said, “Here, but your subordinate is so impolite, pointing a sword at me right off the bat.”

‘The shadow did it for my protection, hope you don’t mind.’

“Can I not mind? I detest being pointed at by someone with a sword in my lifetime. Forget it, let’s get started, I still need to go back and rest.”

Lu Chuan yawned, gently stepping on the water’s surface, much to Kong Zhaozhao’s surprise, Lu Chuan didn’t sink into the lake but instead steadily walked across the water, gradually approaching the Lake Heart Pavilion.

“Your control of spiritual power is meticulous, not something achievable at your realm.”

“That’s because you don’t know my talent. In a place like the Outer Sect, the cultivation resources allocated yearly to me are nearly all embezzled. The fact that I’ve managed to break through to the Golden Core Realm is enough to prove my talent.”

“That’s true.”

“Alright, enough with the nonsense, let’s get started.”

Lu Chuan lifted his hem, gesturing for Kong Zhaozhao to come closer, but Kong Zhaozhao remained unmoved and gently said, “No rush, let me finish this painting.”

“I’m not in a hurry anyway; it’s not my reputation at stake. So, what are you painting?”

Lu Chuan moved behind Kong Zhaozhao, looking at the spread paper on the desk, his eyes lit up instantly.

He saw on the paper a painting of black-gray bamboo, with vigorous branches and leaves, lifelike evidence of superb artistry.

“Oh, not bad! Didn’t expect you to have this skill?”

“The frost poison worsens day by day, I’ve long been unable to continue cultivating. If I don’t find something to do, wouldn’t it be a waste of time? The last stroke… Okay, done.”

Putting down the brush, Kong Zhaozhao picked up the paper, examined it closely, then smiled and said, “Seems my skills haven’t dulled. Alright, let’s begin.”

“No problem, first put out your hand, let me check your pulse.”

“You know how to check pulses?”

Upon hearing that, Lu Chuan realized he’d misspoken and quickly corrected himself, “I really don’t, but isn’t that what people normally do, regardless if it works, to look professional?”

“Boring, just get started.”

“Are you the one healing, or am I the one healing? Why all the nonsense, just do as I say and put your hand out!”
