Xuanxia

Chapter 625 A Shortcut

Zhao Hao did not go forward with Fu Qingzhou.

As mentioned before, he is an intelligence officer, and his external identity is just "Prince Zhao". Unless there are special circumstances, he will not show up easily.

He just left a sentence "I'll come to you if I have new information" and left lightly.

So, only Fu Qingzhou was left walking through the forest path and forward.

Lin Qu was originally watching attentively as the skeleton of the "Star Tower" was being carried into the valley bit by bit, when he suddenly noticed someone coming. He turned his head and his eyes widened immediately.

"Fu, Brother Fu?!"

He stood up in great surprise: "Why are you here!"

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I gave you a sect, come and see what happened?"

Since Zhao Hao said that it was done in his name, he naturally had to cover up the lie.

This kid has done me such a big favor, it's hard to return it——

"It's really you!" Lin Qu was overjoyed: "Those people were mysterious and refused to say who they were. They just said it was someone who wanted to help me. I asked if it was you, but they didn't say..."

As expected, this is Zhao Hao's working style, mysterious.

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Don't blame them. I am also an official of Mingjian Pavilion now. If I give you a sect, people will inevitably gossip about it if you don't keep it secret."

"Hey, that's it."

Lin Qu scratched his head in embarrassment: "Brother Fu, you are really amazing. In such a short time, you have become a high-ranking official in Mingjian Pavilion and even have a title."

He clearly looked a little reserved, wanting to come forward and talk, but also seemed quite awed.

This was not surprising. After all, he and Fu Qingzhou had barely spoken a few words before. They had met once before the Qianlong Hundred Elites Conference, and had not had a good communication during the competition since then.

Now, several months have passed, and "Brother Fu" is no longer the unknown young man.

Seeing him like this, Fu Qingzhou raised the corner of his mouth, took the initiative to walk forward and put his arm around his shoulders: "Why are you standing there? Take me to see the Xingchen Building that Senior Zuo has been thinking about. How is the construction progress now?"

Lin Qu immediately became happy: "Okay!"

This man, who might be the youngest sect leader in the world, led Fu Qingzhou into the valley.

"This valley is called Silver Flower Valley... Oh, yes, it's the place you chose, Brother Fu. You must know it."

Lin Qu smiled and said, "There is a small lake at the deepest part of the valley. The lake is full of spiritual energy, which is really nice. I have built the first building of Xingchen Tower by the lake. The place is not big, but it is also quiet."

The two of them went deeper into the valley, and Lin Qu kept talking about his thoughts.

"The mountain gate should be more imposing, right? I'm thinking of carving the name of 'Xingchen Tower' on the stone wall at the entrance of the valley! Make it bigger!"

"Also, you see, the valley here is narrow, but the two sides are flat. Can we carve some words on it? I want to carve all the stories of my cousin's life on it! And Brother Fu, if you don't mind, I want to write about you as well."

"Also, although the Xingchen Tower is not big, it should have a place to test disciples and practice martial arts, right? I've been to the top of the mountain. The scenery is very nice. You can see the Hongjiang River. We can go up by opening a mountain road here... When we practice martial arts, we emphasize peace of mind and inward search. Building a pavilion on the cliff, overlooking the river and asking questions, is it a good idea?"

Once he started talking, Lin Qu would talk endlessly.

The boy, who is about sixteen or seventeen years old, is actually not much younger than Fu Qingzhou, but he gives people the feeling of a child who has not grown up.

He suddenly had his own territory and was able to build a brand new sect from scratch. There were so many things to be excited about and to imagine.

Fu Qingzhou listened with a smile.

He did not ask Lin Qu how much money and effort this would cost, or how Xingchen Tower would obtain a stable source of income.

He also did not ask where such a small sect with a leader who was only sixteen or seventeen years old would go to recruit disciples.

These things are too realistic and too cold. Lin Qu may have thought about them or may not have thought about them, but they are not what he should talk about right now.

Or rather...just handle this matter yourself.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to Fu Qingzhou's mind.

But before he could open his mouth, Lin Qu pointed ahead excitedly and shouted, "Brother Fu, we're here!"

The valley walkway suddenly opened up, and a small lake covered in silver came into view.

The lake was frozen by the winter cold, and the ice was thick, reflecting the sparse trees and mountains in the distance, like a huge natural mirror. A building was rising from the lakeside. Although it was only half built, its grandeur was already apparent - with flying eaves and angles, and an antique style. Bamboo scaffoldings were erected on both sides, and some craftsmen were hammering on them.

"Brother Fu, look!"

Lin Qu's eyes sparkled with anticipation and pride: "The masters said that it will be completed in just half a month!"

"Lin Qu."

Fu Qingzhou said softly: "I have something that I need your help with."

Lin Qu was startled: "Brother Fu, how can I help you?"

"Akirashi."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Have you heard of it?"

"Minglisi?" Lin Qu shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

"That's because the court has not yet announced this matter to the public." Fu Qingzhou said with a smile: "But this is not a secret, it has already been put on the agenda and will be announced to the public soon. I can tell you about it."

He briefly talked about the Mingli Division, the judicial examination and other matters, and Lin Qu's eyes sparkled as he listened.

"Brother Fu, this sounds very promising!"

He was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Do you want me to join this Mingli Division?"

"That's right." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "The emperor attaches great importance to the Mingli Division and is willing to recruit people from the martial arts world to join the division. Your Xingchen Building has just started and is short of money, people and secret manuals. Joining the Mingli Division is a good way - and it can help me."

"Although the emperor didn't say so, even if I am not directly in charge of the Department of Enlightenment in the future, I will most likely need to take on some of the work... Having more of my own people in it will be of great help to me in the future."

Lin Qu suddenly understood: "I understand! Then Brother Fu, what should I do next?"

"Of course, you should build your sect well first."

Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "But in your spare time, you can read more Dayan Law. If you recruit disciples, ask them to read it as well. After the judicial examination comes out, you must achieve good results in the first major examination and bring your entire Xingchen Building to the Mingli Division."

Lin Qu nodded vigorously, his eyes bright.

"By the way, there's one more thing."

Fu Qingzhou smiled, took out an invitation from his arms and handed it to Lin Qu.

"You should know more or less about the Wulin League... After Jiang Baichuan's accident, Brother Hua Wuying decided to disband the Wulin League and then build the Xuan League with the original people."

He said: "The Xuan League is based in Dayan Jianghu, and it is the Xuan League of the entire Jianghu. With his strength, he is naturally not up to the task."

"Therefore, he hopes to invite all the major and minor sects in the world to come and select a leader of the Xuan League."

"Next year, at the beginning of spring and the Lantern Festival, Luoyi, the original site of the Wulin League - remember to come."

Lin Qu's eyes widened as he looked down at the invitation: "All sects, big and small?!"

"good."

Fu Qingzhou nodded and said, "Now that you are also the sect master and have a sect, you should go there and show yourself."

"Okay!" Lin Qu agreed without any hesitation and carefully put away the invitation.

"Oh, right..."

After putting away the invitation, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Brother Fu, speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something!"

"Hmm?" Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows.

"Because I also won the title of one of the Hundred Heroes at the Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Conference."

Lin Tongdao: "So, I also received an invitation a few days ago... It was sent by Ziqi Xianfeng Temple."

As he spoke, he took out a large red invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Fu Qingzhou.

Fu Qingzhou stared at the big "囍" character on the invitation cover, feeling a little confused.

After opening it, he immediately caught a glimpse of the two words "Qiu Chan".
