The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 505 Why is there no note above Yao Yao's head? (Third update)

Zhou Qing nodded in agreement with Gui Cang's idea.

"That makes sense. It's just a pity that I have a lot of things to take care of right now and can't go back with you."

"Otherwise, I would really like to go to Jiyuan Temple with you."

Guicang quickly waved his hand: "Uncle, what are you saying! I understand your current situation. Logically speaking, I should stay and help you..."

"Alright, alright," Zhou Qing interrupted him with a smile, "Let's not stand on ceremony between father and son."

"I know your hardships, and you know mine; now we can be considered father and son who have gone through thick and thin together!"

Guicang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, his eyes full of warmth.

Zhou Qing's smile faded, and his tone became serious: "In that case, I won't keep you any longer. You should get some rest first, and set off tonight, lest something unexpected happens."

“Alright,” Guicang replied. “The ancient Buddhas in the temple are unaware of Ku’e’s scheme.”

"If I encounter any trouble after returning home, I can ask them for help. Uncle, you don't need to worry."

Zhou Qing nodded, then, remembering Li Niang's story, he asked about the details of Li Niang's arrival at Jiyuan Temple.

Gui Cang patiently answered each question.

The two chatted until midnight.

Guicang stood up and solemnly knelt before Zhou Qing and his second uncle, his forehead touching the ground: "Uncle, second uncle, I take my leave!"

Zhou Qing quickly helped him up, patted his shoulder, and all her words boiled down to one sentence: "Be careful on the road and take care of yourself."

Watching Gui Cang's figure disappear into the night, Zhou Qing finally let out a long breath, his heart filled with worry.

I wonder when we will meet again, and whether Guicang will be able to establish himself safely at Jiyuan Temple.

He took out a communication jade slip, gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, and sent a message to Shen Yunzhou: "The crisis is over. You can bring Yao Yao and the others back now."

……

Two days later, a yellowish-brown streak of light came from the horizon.

As soon as the flying boat came to a stop, a small figure descended on a sword. Yao Yao opened her arms and flew into Zhou Qing's arms like a little bird.

"Father—" The soft, sweet voice carried a hint of urgency.

Zhou Qing bent down to catch her, a gentle smile on his face: "Did you miss your father?"

Yao Yao buried her head in the crook of his neck and nodded vigorously: "Yes! Dad, are you alright? Uncle said you were in danger, I was so worried!"

Zhou Qing patted her little head and said in a relaxed tone, "What could possibly happen to Dad? Don't worry, everything's been taken care of."

Immediately afterwards, the people on the flying boat disembarked one after another—Shen Juefeng, Shen Lieyang, Shen Yunzhou, and Yu Yan.

Seeing that Zhou Qing was unharmed, the group breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on their faces finally dissipated.

"Where is the Buddha's disciple?" Shen Yunzhou leaned closer and asked in a low voice, his eyes full of curiosity.

Zhou Qing raised an eyebrow: "Of course I'm going back to Jiyuan Temple. What, you want to see him?"

"No, no, no," Shen Yunzhou quickly waved his hand, "I'm just curious, how did you deal with the tower of obsession sealed inside his body?"

Just as Zhou Qing was about to explain, Shen Juefeng, who was standing to the side, suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he had discovered something.

He stepped forward and pulled Shen Yunzhou backward—Shen Yunzhou was caught off guard and fell flat on his backside, wincing in pain.

Before Shen Yunzhou could complain, Shen Juefeng stared intently at Zhou Qing, his tone filled with disbelief: "You've broken through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Slaying Realm?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Shen Lieyang and Yu Yan immediately looked at Zhou Qing, their eyes filled with shock. Even Shen Yunzhou, who had fallen to the ground, ignored the pain and got up, trying to sense his brother-in-law's presence.

No matter how they probed, they could only sense a faint but unseen pressure, but they couldn't pinpoint its exact level.

However, this oppressive aura was far stronger than when my brother-in-law was in the late stage of the Spirit Severing Realm.

Shen Yunzhou's eyes widened: "Brother-in-law, you're not kidding me, are you? It's only been a few days, and you've already gone from late stage to perfect?"

Zhou Qing touched his nose and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, facing the shocked gazes of the crowd.

"I guess you could call it a gift from my godson. I broke through to the next level without really understanding what was going on."

Everyone: "..."

"Daddy is so amazing!" Yao Yao hugged Zhou Qing's neck, her little face full of admiration.

Now that she has embarked on the path of cultivation, she already understands what "the Great Perfection of the Spirit Severing Realm" means.

That was a height that seemed so distant to her, even when she looked up at it.

Zhou Qing smiled and gently flicked her little nose with his fingertip: "You're amazing too, you can already fly on a sword independently, even better than your father was back then..."

Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Qing suddenly stopped, his smile froze, and his eyes turned serious.

He tightened his grip on Yao Yao slightly, his gaze fixed on the top of Yao Yao's head—it was empty, without any familiar golden annotations.

A chill suddenly rose from the bottom of Zhou Qing's heart, and he suddenly realized something extremely important.

Whether it was Sima Yaoji before, or Senior Sister Pei Yan, or this time Gui Cang and Ku E.

Because they had been bound to one of them, they were able to ascertain their true identities and thoughts.

She also helped him avoid traps and see through disguises on many occasions during crises.

But he was tied to Lu Yaoyao from the very beginning!
The daughter whose psychological impression of him always begins with the word "good".

Although she later returned to her own timeline, she is now reborn rather than dead, so the entry's notes shouldn't have disappeared!

"How could there not be..." Zhou Qing muttered to himself, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

In recent years, he has been so busy dealing with various crises that he completely overlooked such a crucial detail.

He looked down at Yao Yao in his arms, his gaze carefully sweeping over her eyebrows and eyes.

Six-year-old Yao Yao vaguely resembles Han Yi in her eyebrows and eyes, but her nose and mouth are very much like her own.

Apart from that intimacy, there was no resemblance whatsoever between Lu Yaoyao, the twelve-year-old girl I first met at the Taiqing Gate's Shenyue Peak.

Six years may have passed, and a girl's appearance may have changed, but the basic features of her face should not have changed so much.

"Could it be that Yao Yao and Lu Yao Yao are not the same person at all?" This thought exploded in Zhou Qing's mind, making him shudder.

Thinking of this, strangely enough, besides a strange sense of nervousness, he also felt a strange, indescribable excitement.

Back in the Holy Martial Dynasty, Lu Yaoyao suddenly appeared, repeatedly saying "Wrong, wrong," could she be referring to this incident?
But this isn’t right either.

If Lu Yaoyao isn't Yaoyao, how could she know about the future?
When Han Yi became pregnant with Yao Yao, her body gradually became partially transparent, and she was forced to leave when Yao Yao was born.

Lu Yaoyao had never met her mother, yet she was able to draw a portrait of herself, weathered and worn, carrying her as she evaded the Demon Emperor's pursuit.

There are also the Bloodwing Phantom, the Blood Phoenix Calamity Crystal, the Broken Sword, the Taiqing Sect, the legacy of the Xuanqingzi elder, and even recognizing the Swift in advance...

All of the things Yao Yao mentioned have now come true.
