A day later, Lu Xin and Ji Yue left An Guo City, enjoying the scenery along the way to the location of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
After more than three months passed in the blink of an eye, the two finally reached their destination, took out their invitation, and were quickly welcomed inside.
"Brother Lu, you've finally arrived." Upon receiving the news, Tian Zijing hurriedly greeted him, then saw Ji Yue holding Lu Xin's hand and asked in surprise, "This is?"
Lu Xin explained, "Ji Yue, my Dao companion. Last time you went to the East Flower Divine Palace, she was in seclusion."
"So it's Miss Ji Yue, Tian is being polite." Tian Zijing cupped his hands in greeting.
"Greetings, Brother Tian." Ji Yue returned the greeting as well.
Afterward, the three talked for a while, and Tian Zijing led Lu Xin to an elegant residence, "Brother Lu, Miss Ji Yue, I'm truly sorry, but I have matters to attend to and can only ask you two to stay here for now."
Lu Xin quickly waved his hand, "Not at all, Brother Tian, please attend to your important matters. There's no need to stay with us."
"Then I'm being impolite."
Tian Zijing apologized repeatedly and then left in a hurry, looking very busy.
"As expected of the Central Continent Holy Land, Transformation God and Refinement Void cultivators are everywhere." After Tian Zijing left, Ji Yue strolled around the courtyard, sighing with emotion.
Lu Xin nodded in agreement, "After all, their heritage is ancient. Alright, you must be tired from playing these past few days, take a good rest."
"Mm, hold me."
...
On the other side, Tian Zijing, who had left in a hurry, was stopped by two figures, "Big brother."
Tian Zijing looked at the two with some helplessness, "It's Ziya and Miss Qiushui, what's the matter this time?" he asked, looking at Tian Ziya.
Tian Ziya teased, "What? Big brother is in a hurry to see his sister-in-law that he doesn't even want to see me, your little sister?"
Tian Zijing scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? I just received a good friend, and now I'm in a hurry to handle the ceremony, I don't have time to fool around with you."
As he spoke, he was pulled back. Tian Ziya said unhappily, "Is it fooling around when a little sister talks to her big brother?"
Tian Zijing knew he had misspoke, "Good little sister, big brother really has urgent matters. You take Miss Qiushui and have a good time at the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion first, and I'll talk to you when I'm free."
Tian Ziya snorted coldly, "I can let you go, but you must first tell me, who is this good friend that you're so busy that you have to make time to greet? Male or female?"
Seeing her unrelenting appearance, Tian Zijing helplessly recounted the events in the Yellow Springs Holy Land, "That's roughly what happened. Brother Lu and I are friends who have gone through life and death together, so no matter how busy I am, I have to make time to greet him."
"Sanwu Zhenren? Interesting." A look of interest appeared on Tian Ziya's face. She had seen people pretending to be weak before, but this was the first time she had seen such a unique one.
"Alright, I won't bother you anymore, you can go." She let go of his hand.
Tian Zijing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left, but after walking a few steps, he returned, "Wait, you're not going to see Brother Lu, are you? I'm telling you, he already has a Dao companion."
"Has a Dao companion?" Tian Ziya wasn't too surprised, then angrily said, "Can't I see him just because he has a Dao companion? Does the fact that a woman is seeing a man mean that big brother, you have such dirty thoughts?"
"Suit yourself." Tian Zijing knew he had misspoke again and was too lazy to argue. He lifted his foot and left, then returned again, then left again, repeating this several times before finally reminding her:
"Brother Lu is a distinguished guest of our Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, you must not be as unruly and willful as before."
Tian Ziya was too lazy to pay attention to him and left, pulling Qiushui away.
"Forget it, she should know what's appropriate now." Tian Zijing sighed and finally left completely.
"Your big brother doesn't seem to trust you." Qiushui looked back.
Tian Ziya snorted coldly, looking displeased, "He still thinks I'm the same as before."
Qiushui smiled, "Alright, don't think about these things anymore. I just saw your expression, you seem very interested in that Senior Lu?"
Tian Ziya shook her head, "I'm just very interested in the idea of Sanwu Zhenren. I'll use it in the future."
"Perhaps the person who came up with this idea should also be very interesting." Qiushui suddenly said.
Tian Ziya was stunned, it seemed to make sense. Then, she realized that the other party was teasing her, and when she turned her head, she saw a face with a smile that was not a smile.
"Good, you dare to tease me too."
In the end, the two did not go to see Lu Xin.
However, someone still came looking for him. It was Li Mulin, representing the Yuan Ze Holy Land, "Brother Lu, I heard you arrived long ago."
Li Mulin said after they met.
"There's no other way, I live far away, so I could only leave early." Lu Xin explained, then said, "How is your great-grandmother now?"
"Great-grandmother has already been reborn by seizing a body and is recovering her cultivation." Li Mulin said, looking behind him, "I heard that you have a Dao companion?"
Lu Xin coughed, "That, she was too tired last night and is still sleeping."
Li Mulin's face turned slightly red, "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb you."
"I'll see you out."
After seeing Li Mulin off, Lu Xin returned to the house, only to be hugged from behind, and a faint voice sounded in his ear, "A confidante."
"Don't talk nonsense, just a friend I know. Moreover, the reason I'm related to her is because of one person, and you know this person too."
"Who?" Ji Yue was a little curious.
"Li Youlan." Lu Xin explained Li Youlan's identity.
"It's such a coincidence." Ji Yue was a little surprised.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the ceremony to begin. Lu Xin brought Ji Yue to the ceremony venue. Amidst the sound of drums and music, Tian Zijing and Nalan Zizhu slowly walked out, first adding honorific titles, and then completing the Dao companion formation ceremony.
It was quite grand.
"Lu Xin, I want to have this too." Ji Yue suddenly transmitted her voice.
"Okay, we'll have it in the future too." Lu Xin agreed, suddenly feeling several gazes fixed on him. He scanned over them without showing any expression.
One of them was an old man, with a late-stage Great Ascension cultivation base, his gaze carrying some scrutiny and some ill intentions.
Lu Xin was a little puzzled. He was sure he had never met this person, and he didn't know where his ill intentions came from.
He carefully sorted out the events since his debut. The Suspended Holy Venerable was a lone wolf, and after that incident, the people related to him were either exterminated or lived in anonymity.
So it was unlikely to be related to him.
The Yuan Ze Holy Land was even more impossible, Li Mulin was sitting next to him.
As for the three Great Ascension cultivators who were calculated to death by the Suspended Holy Venerable, they had even less to do with him.
So, after thinking about it, he felt that the most likely thing to be related to this person was the Sang Hong clan that he had destroyed.
After all, the Sang Hong clan was a large family, and it was impossible for him to kill them all, and it was normal for some forces to have marriage ties.
He secretly kept this matter in mind.
As for the other two gazes, they were from two women, and he had seen them before. They were the two who had stopped on the street in An Guo City to listen to him and Ji Yue talking.
He didn't care about them either.
Soon, the ceremony was completed, and next was the banquet.
The banquet was not only rich in dishes, but also had many performances in between. The banquet of cultivators naturally involved performing various spells, and they were also choreographed, making them very entertaining.
Lu Xin watched with relish.
"Qiushui, I asked, I didn't expect that the two people we met on the street some time ago were my brother's good friends." Tian Ziya said in surprise.
Qiushui was also very surprised, "And he is also a Great Ascension powerhouse, I actually guessed that he was a Refinement Void."
"Let's go, let's go pay a visit to him."
