"Speaking of which, if I could have a battle with this human immortal, my life would be considered glorious enough, right?"

Lu Zhiqiu thought to himself that Xu Xianxian must be saved. After spending a month with this girl, it was inevitable that he had developed some feelings for her.

Besides, her purpose was to stir up trouble, and having a human immortal as her opponent just fulfilled her wish.

But she still needs to study more about how to deal with this guy. She is still a long way from becoming a human immortal.

With the golden finger in her hand, she is of course full of ambition.

But ambition cannot be eaten. The bigger the thing you do, the more steady and cautious you have to be.

She has always been a person who cherishes life.

Lu Zhiqiu stroked his chin, his mind racing.

……

the next day.

Xu Xianxian and Lu Zhiqiu had breakfast together.

Of course, breakfast was still made by Lu Zhiqiu.

It's not that Xu Xianxian hasn't learned before. She tried it three times. Once she burned the bottom of the pot, once she almost burned down the bedroom, and the last time she managed not to cause a fire. When the dish came out of the pot, it poisoned the dog of Wang Er's family next door.

From then on, Lu Zhiqiu never let her enter the kitchen again.

While drinking porridge, Xu Xianxian felt uneasy and hesitated to speak.

She was now thinking about how to talk to Lu Zhiqiu and ask her to leave Beihong City with her to avoid being chased and targeted by her father's men.

"that……"

"that……"

Two voices sounded at the table at the same time.

Xu Xianxian felt a little guilty and said with a dry cough:

"Sister Lu, you speak first."

Lu Zhiqiu nodded and said:

"Xianxian, let's leave Beihong City. After reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, it's time for me to leave here and see the world."

Xu Xianxian opened his mouth wide: Ah?

……

Noon, Beihong Academy.

Lu Zhiqiu took Xu Xianxian to say goodbye to the headmaster.

The headmaster with white beard, who was over 60 years old, tried to persuade Lu Zhiqiu to stay, but Lu Zhiqiu was determined to leave. He could only sigh and ask Lu Zhiqiu to wait for a while.

in the room.

Xu Xianxian shook the fragrant tea in her hand and asked softly:

"Could it be that this old man is reluctant to let you go and wants to force you to stay? Why does he want us to wait here?"

"I don't want that kind of thing! I want to go out into the martial arts world and become a chivalrous hero."

Lu Zhiqiu grabbed the package, stood up and said seriously:

"Don't talk nonsense. The headmaster is a reasonable man. He probably wants to prepare some money for us. Let's leave first."

"After all, it hasn't been easy for Beihong Academy these years. The remuneration has been paid, so it's better not to take more."

After saying that, she and Xu Xianxian were about to push the door open and leave.

But he just happened to meet the headmaster who was coming.

The headmaster smiled faintly and said:

"I guess you must have thought I was going to prepare some travel expenses and you were embarrassed to accept them, so you wanted to leave first?"

"To be honest, I did think about it, but I knew you wouldn't accept it, so I prepared something else."

The headmaster handed eight letters to Lu Zhiqiu.

Lu Zhiqiu took them and took a look. They were letters of introduction to eight academies.

The headmaster stroked his beard and said:

"From what I heard from you just now, you want to visit this human world, but you don't have a clear destination."

"When I was a student in the capital, I had several close classmates. Now I'm lecturing in various places. I figured you'd be tired of traveling and need a place to rest. You could find a nearby academy to teach and earn some tuition."

Lu Zhiqiu was somewhat moved. He held the letter of introduction and bowed deeply to the headmaster.

The sound of reading continues in the academy, and the clouds in the sky never stop floating.

In spring, wild roses grow along the walls of the academy, and purple buds peek out from the deep green, like attentive old friends, silently bidding farewell at the pavilion.

Xu Xianxian suddenly jumped forward, looked at the letters, scratched his head and asked:

"Speaking of which, Old Headmaster, why did you write these eight letters so quickly?"

"I never knew you were so skilled at your craftsmanship. You're still going strong despite your age."

The headmaster was startled, then suddenly narrowed his eyes and chuckled:

"Actually, I have hundreds of letters like this. I write them whenever I have some free time. Just leave the names blank and fill them in when needed."

The smile on Lu Zhiqiu's lips froze.

Sure enough, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.

……

half a month later.

Lincang City.

Lu Zhiqiu knew that Xu Xianxian was the little princess who ran away and was very rich, but she didn't expect her to be so rich.

He directly rented a 500-square-meter yard in the east of the city.

But who is she, Lu Zhiqiu? She is content with poverty, self-disciplined and respects the rites. How can she live off such a gigolo?

“Ah~ It feels so good!”

Lu Zhiqiu lay in the rocking chair, basking in the sun while gnawing on the big pork elbow from Dongfulou and moaning with happiness.

Xu Xianxian was also beside him, hugging his elbow and muttering:

“Well, after moving to a big city, the skills of the restaurant chefs are all different. This chef is only slightly worse than you, which is commendable.”

Lu Zhiqiu rolled his eyes at her and said:

"If you still want to eat my food, just say so."

Xu Xianxian chuckled and said:

"Let's make a deal. You cook once every three days, and I'll pay you one hundred taels each time."

Lu Zhiqiu snorted and was about to turn his head away, but he suddenly fell silent after hearing the price.

After a while, she looked up at Xu Xianxian, her eyes sparkling:

"Does the meal I cooked before still count? Fifty taels... No, thirty taels is fine too."

Seeing Lu Zhiqiu suddenly approaching, Xu Xianxian suddenly became playful and took the opportunity to peck Lu Zhiqiu on the face, smiling and saying:

"Is one kiss enough?"

Lu Zhiqiu was stunned, his face turned red immediately, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu Xianxian covered her mouth and laughed.

After laughing for a while, she tactfully changed the subject and asked:

"Speaking of which, we set out from Beihong City and traveled for half a month. Why did you choose to rest temporarily in Lincang City?"

Lu Zhiqiu had anticipated this and said calmly:

"Do you still remember that young escort leader Lin Pingzhi whom I met in the tea stall outside the city yesterday when I entered the city?"

The Clouds Pave the Way to Your Majesty: Chapter 4: Lin Pingzhi and the Fuwei Escort Agency

Hearing Lu Zhiqiu's words, Xu Xianxian nodded naturally:

"Remember, he was seventeen or eighteen years old, just entering the second-rate class, with mediocre talent, but he had a chivalrous heart. When he saw us being harassed by hooligans, he immediately drew his sword to help."

"It's a pity that he was defeated so quickly that I had to take action."

Xu Xianxian thought of the man in blue clothes who was almost knocked to the ground by the gangsters yesterday. He couldn't help laughing and immediately answered while patting his chest.

Lu Zhiqiu nodded and said seriously:

“When traveling in the martial arts world, you can’t just keep walking aimlessly.”

"I don't have any special skills, nor am I as skilled in martial arts as you. I can only continue to teach. Since there are young knights like Lin Shaobiaotou in Lincang City, I think the atmosphere shouldn't be too bad."

“Virtue is never alone; it always has neighbors.”

"I want to live here for a while and see the people and things here."

Xu Xianxian nodded vigorously. At this moment, Lu Zhiqiu's image in her eyes suddenly became taller again.

Just like a great scholar who is seeking truth from facts.

But she didn't know that Lu Zhiqiu wanted to stay, not for any noble reason, but simply because he took one more look at Lin Shaobiaotou in the crowd yesterday.

……

What a coincidence.

The principal of Lincang Academy is the junior fellow of the old man from Beihong Academy.

With the letter of introduction from the principal of Beihong Academy, Lu Zhiqiu was able to enter Lincang Academy and serve as a teacher.

In the academy.

Lu Zhiqiu sat on the mat, looking at a familiar figure under the podium, and couldn't help but smile.

With a thought, she communicated with the Book of Myriad Worlds, and before her eyes appeared lines of mysterious words that only she could see:

Lin Pingzhi, a student at Lincang Academy, the young leader of the Fuwei Escort Agency, 18 years old.

[My father, Lin Xian, was a top-notch martial arts expert. He was a descendant of Lin Yuanting, a half-step immortal from two hundred years ago. However, due to repeated migrations over the generations and the deliberate concealment of this relationship, no one knew about it. He was a man of great ambition, making friends with many outlaws, and running a thriving escort agency.]

[At the age of six, he was taught martial arts by his father. He was gifted and full of energy and blood.]

At the age of eight, influenced by his family's traditions, he developed a chivalrous spirit and often fought against hooligans and helped the poor in Lincang City with his playmates.

[At the age of ten, he entered the third-rate world of martial arts]

[At the age of twelve, he sneaked out of the city and went with a friend to suppress bandits a hundred miles away. He returned with a broken arm, which his father spent a lot of money to buy Western ointment to reattach. He was ordered not to leave the city again before he turned eighteen, and was arranged to study at Lincang Academy to cultivate his character.]

[At the age of seventeen, he entered the second-rate world of Jianghu]

When she was eighteen, thieves attacked the Fuwei Escort Agency at night and massacred all seventy-six of its employees. Lin Pingzhi escaped the attack because she was hidden in a secret room by her father. After that, her personality changed drastically and she lived a depressed life.

[At the age of 21, he accidentally learned that the thief was greedy for the Lin family's unique skills. Therefore, he returned to the ruins of the escort agency, found the "Evil-Slaying Sword Sutra", and castrated himself to practice it.]

[At the age of 22, with the help of supernatural powers, he became a top-notch martial artist]

[At the age of 25, he tracked down the enemy who had annihilated his clan that day, the Fushan Sect, a major sect in the Central Plains. On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, he climbed the mountain and defeated four top-tier masters, killing seventy-six members of the Fushan Sect before disappearing.]

【At the age of 30, he became a martial arts legend】

[At the age of thirty-three, due to his rapid cultivation, various factions in the martial arts world coveted his opportunity and cast a smear campaign against him, accusing him of practicing demonic techniques and claiming he possessed the power to kill infants, rip out lungs, devour flesh, and drink blood. They then set up a trap to kill him. Lin Pingzhi triumphed tragically, and from then on, his surname and name became taboos in the martial arts world, terrifying those who heard them.]

[At the age of forty, he entered the realm of human immortals]

【? ? ? 】

Seeing this, Lu Zhiqiu couldn't help but look at the young man who was reading quietly twice more.

She understood that the simulation lasted until the age of forty, not because Lin Pingzhi only lived to forty, but because after forty, Lin Pingzhi became an immortal, which her current level of cultivation could not simulate.

Tsk tsk.

What a tragic life.

However, it was precisely for this matter that she stayed in Lincang City.
