Soon after, Perfected Qing Yun left Lu Changsheng's place.
He came here specifically for the purpose of preparing Lu Changsheng for the upcoming grand meeting, where he would officially become the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect.
The Eldest Senior Brother…
Lu Changsheng rubbed his head, feeling quite helpless and worried. He couldn't imagine what would happen when people knew the truth about him.
Maybe it was because he read too many web novels before his transmigration, now, Lu Changsheng felt very uneasy.
Although his Master's words more or less made sense, Lu Changsheng still knew that most people couldn't reach such a realm of lofty thought.
Despite the great number of people who admired him, there would probably be more who would feel extremely envious.
Upon thinking of the common plot shared in the web novels, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but take a deep breath and sigh.
'I'm not that talented in cultivation… but maybe I can make a big achievement for myself in something else?' Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
In the past three years, Lu Changsheng failed to make any major achievement despite practicing meditation everyday. However, this didn't necessarily mean that he was a good-for-nothing.
Everyone was good at something. Therefore, Lu Changsheng believed that, besides his face, there should be something that he was good at.
He couldn't change anything except his own mindset.
Therefore, Lu Changsheng decided to switch to a different perspective.
In the world of cultivation, there were a variety of ways to finally become immortal, this included refining pills, making weapons and items, and as well as arraying troops for battle.
Lu Changsheng became convinced that he wasn't going to be good at nothing at all.
After all, he was the protagonist of this story!
'Maybe I should start with learning how to refine pills…' Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
At this time, a sweet and crisp voice suddenly floated into his ears, "Senior Brother Changsheng!"
Hearing the female voice was as pleasant as a nightingale singing. Because Lu Changsheng wasn't highly educated, this was the most beautiful sound he could come up with.
A young lady in purple walked in.
She was so gorgeous that a single glance at her could make anyone fall in love. She had a pair of bright eyes and shining long, purple hair that hung to her curved waist. Her elegant demeanor gave her a heavenly aura like a fairy. Lu Changsheng didn't know how to describe her beauty any better.
This female was Zi Yun, the second immediate disciple in Zenith Heaven. Before Lu Changsheng came here, Zi Yun was in fact respected as the Eldest Senior Sister in the sect by all the disciples.
"Perfected Zi Yun," Lu Changsheng stood up and said these words slowly in an elegant manner. Zi Yun, however, appeared to be quite casual. "Senior Brother Changsheng, how many times do I have to tell you? You're the last student of the Sect Master, my big Uncle-master, this means you're my Senior Brother. You can just call me little sister Zi Yun if you don't mind. You calling me Perfected Zi Yun really distances us from each other."
Zi Yun was only this sweet and lovely in front of Lu Changsheng. On most occasions, she was too cold and dignified to talk to in most disciples' eyes. If this scene was caught by someone else, they would definitely feel very surprised.
After all, Zi Yun was one of the top ten beauties in Middle-Earth. But what also contributed to her fame was her guts. She once headed for the East Sea on her own and even captured a Purple Scaled Dragon to ride. The icy beauty's story was well-known to everyone in the world of cultivation, however, she was so gentle in front of Lu Changsheng.
So the old saying was really true…
All young ladies were sweet and gentle; if one wasn't, then it was because she hasn't met her true love yet.
Even though Lu Changsheng knew that Zi Yun had a crush on him, he still chose to keep a distance from her. It wasn't because he didn't like Zi Yun, but Lu Changsheng knew that he was in fact just an ordinary man, and thus, he dared not become closer to Zi Yun in fear that the truth would be revealed.
If that ever happened, Zi Yun would surely blame Lu Changsheng for lying to her. If she ever decided to take her revenge on Lu Changsheng, he would be in huge trouble.
What attracted Zi Yun was only Lu Changsheng's appearance after all, not his heart.
Who knew the preference of a cultivator could still be so shallow?
"So, Junior Sister Zi Yun, what can I do for you today?"
It didn't do any harm at all calling her Junior Sister. This was also because Zi Yun looked younger than him.
"Can't I just come and check how you're doing?" Zi Yun answered. She didn't directly sit down, looking a bit shy.
"Take a seat." Lu Changsheng poured a cup of tea for Zi Yun. "I heard that the sacred shrine of Langya is opening soon. You should be prepared."
Lu Changsheng found a topic to talk to her with.
Zi Yun sat down and took a sip of the tea. "It's indeed very important, but gaining the advantage of a day or two won't really make a big difference. Before I went there, I wanted to see you first, Senior Brother, just in case I won't be able to come back."
"Don't say that! You're one of the most outstanding cultivators in our sect, you're blessed by Heaven and Earth. You will definitely come back safe and sound."
Lu Changsheng instantly disputed Zi Yun's words with a slight amount of anger in his tone, almost like an elder brother gently scolding his little sister.
Zi Yun was too proud to let anyone scold her, but Lu Changsheng was clearly an exception. Instead of being angry at him, but for a second, Zi Yun's eyes lit up with joy, "Senior Brother Changsheng, tell me seriously, will you miss me if I don't come back?"
This was such a cliche question.
Although he wasn't very experienced as he wasn't blessed with a romantic relationship in his previous life, he still read lots of books, including the ones in the romance genre.
"I will," Lu Changsheng answered very seriously.
Giving a wrong answer might have a serious consequence right now.
Making Zi Yun feel better wouldn't do any harm to Lu Changsheng. However, if Lu Changsheng kept being cold and distant to her, it would be very inappropriate because, after all, they belonged in the same sect.
Lu Changsheng's response obviously greatly surprised Zi Yun.
She never expected that Lu Changsheng would directly answer like this.
Although this was still far from a confession of love, Zi Yun felt very content.
While she was feeling warm and sweet, Zi Yun opened her hand and exposed her fair-skinned palm, above which floated a five-colored lotus.
This was a Five-color Golden Lotus.
It was named so because its root was golden and the petals were of five colors.
Lu Changsheng instantly recognized the flower.
In the past three years, Lu Changsheng studied hard for his cultivation, he once read about the lotus in a book.
The flower was so precious that the entire Zenith Heaven might not have one of these.
Why did Junior Sister Zi Yun have it?
Lu Changsheng was really surprised.
Also…
What did this mean?
Was she going to give the lotus to me?
Was she turning him into a freeloader?
This was humiliating!
I'm not that kind of person!
These thoughts quickly flashed through Lu Changsheng's mind, but soon after, he pulled himself back to reality.
