Absolute Resonance

Chapter 1273: News of Lu Qing'er

Li Luo was shocked when he heard the playful words of the newcomer.

“Sister Qing'e? Is she referring to Lu Qing'er?”

Li Luo took another glance at the girl’s dress. As expected, the Golden Dragon Bank’s emblem was sewn onto it. "It seems you're from the Golden Dragon Bank. Do you know Lu Qing'er?"

The girl blinked and replied in a lighthearted voice, "What do you think?"

Without a doubt, the girl in front of them was Lu Shuanglu.

Li Luo frowned at her reply. He couldn't figure out her relationship with Lu Qing'er.

However, Jiang Qing'e wasn't so friendly. Her cold gaze locked onto her. With a single thought in her mind, brilliant light resonant power burst out of her body and a Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried materialized above. The worldly natural energy in the surroundings came into contact with the light resonant power and was purified instantly.

Then unrivaled Divine Mist poured out of the Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried like an endless stream. It gushed directly towards Lu Shuanglu.

"What a domineering genius."

Lu Shuanglu raised her eyebrows when she saw Jiang Qing'e lashing out without a single word. She lifted her jade-like hand, and ice-cold energy gathered. Her palm was like a piece of icy jade at that moment.

She pushed out her palm, and chilly energy blasted outwards. In a blink, the ground froze up and even snowflakes started condensing around them.

The two energies clashed, sending heart-palpitating shockwaves across the field. Fortunately, the ground that they were standing on was formed by the golden stones that were the namesake of this location and was extremely tough. Only a few cracks appeared as a result of the clash. At the same moment, frozen, crystalline runes appeared on Lu Shuanglu's snow-like skin. The runes completely froze the incoming light resonant power upon contact. She giggled and asked, "Is this how the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li treats their guests?"

"It's still unclear if you're supposed to be a guest," Li Luo replied.

Back in the Spiritual Resonance Cave, it was an internal faction of the Golden Dragon Bank who had taken the initiative to attack Lu Qing'er. As such, he did not let his guard down just because the other party knew her.

Lu Shuanglu shook her head. "Don't you want to know how Lu Qing'er is doing now? She's gotten herself sealed up in ice all because of you." Then she looked over at Jiang Qing'e in mischief. "Or is it because you don't want your fiancee to hear about it? In that case, should I come back and look for him tonight?"

Li Luo couldn't help but grit his teeth as he listened to these provocative words.

"Is she talking about Lu Qing'er?" Jiang Qing'e asked.

Li Luo nodded, then he explained what had occurred in the Spiritual Resonance Cave.

"So she's the Young Mistress of Golden Dragon Mountain's Lu family." Jiang Qing'e was surprised to learn this.

Golden Dragon Mountain was one of the mightiest Heavenly Emperor powers in the world. Its foundation was even stronger than that of the Bloodline of Heavenly Emperor Li.

It was totally unexpected for someone with such a background to have grown up in a remote place like the Xia Kingdom.

"Qing'e has been missing Li Luo so much," Lu Shuanglu said with a grin.

Jiang Qing'e gave her a stare and responded calmly, "I've already told her in the past. House Luolan is large and welcoming; I won't mind having one more person to feed. If she wishes for it, I can make the arrangements." These were combative words that were designed to provoke the opponent. Jiang Qing'e did not plan to let her continue as she wished.

As expected, Lu Shuanglu was completely taken aback by the acrid response. She had expected that Jiang Qing'e would fly into a fury and return with words of her own.

"She's the Young Mistress of Golden Dragon Mountain. I am afraid you can't take care of her."

Then she glanced over at Li Luo. "Not even if you're the Young Master of the Dragon's Fang Lineage."

Li Luo retorted unhappily, "Did you come all the way here just to spout nonsense?"

Lu Shuanglu replied with a delicate voice, "You really are an impatient fellow. I just wanted to take a good look at the guy that my sister misses day and night. Well, I guess he's just a dandy boy who relies on his fiancee."

Jiang Qing'e's eyes turned icy at her words. The Ten-Pillar Duke Bergfried above her head began to shine even more brightly.

"What a protective wife."

Lu Shuanglu pouted when she saw this. "I am just here to pass a message from Sister Qing'e. She's already woken up, so please do not worry. But from the looks of it, it seems like you aren't worried at all. It's just one-sided thinking from my pitiful little sibling."

Li Luo heaved a sigh of relief in his heart when he heard that Lu Qing'er had awakened. As a result, he couldn't be bothered to deal with this irritating girl any longer. "Since you've passed the message, you may leave. You've caused quite the commotion here, and I am afraid the Guardians will be coming over shortly."

"How heartless." Lu Shuanglu shook her head.

However, it seemed as though she was not planning to hang around any longer. She turned around and was about to leave, but then she paused. "By the way, here's a friendly warning. An elite talent from Golden Dragon Mountain has come to the World's End River Region. It seems like he's here to find you, his love rival, specifically. If you perform too poorly, I am afraid it will create endless trouble for Sister Qing'e in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, a breeze of chilly air swept across the area and she vanished into the distance.

Li Luo frowned as he stared in her direction. It seemed she had truly just come to deliver information and she truly meant no harm apart from her incisive words.

Jiang Qing'e turned to h im and gave a smile that was not a smile. "Despite being so far away from the Xia Kingdom, you're still in touch with Lu Qing'er. It seems like the relationship between the two of you is extraordinary."

"Well, I had no idea she was from Golden Dragon Mountain..." Li Luo helplessly replied. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

"She's been thinking of you all this while, and her mother, Yu Hongxi, has taken a liking to you. I know she worked really hard to try and get the two of you together in the past," Jiang Qing'e said with her arms crossed. Her eyes were cold and her skin was glowing. It made her appear like a holy and aloof goddess that was interrogating a sinner. At the same time, her posture inadvertently highlighted her impressive assets. "Speaking of which, you're now the Third Young Master of the Dragon's Fang Lineage and she's the precious little princess of Golden Dragon Mountain. In terms of status, you two are a perfect match now. If you really miss her, why don't we get her into House Luolan?"

Li Luo shrugged helplessly. "I am just very good friends with Lu Qing'er. We still don't know if Lu Shuanglu is a friend or foe of hers either. It's best that we don't believe everything she just said. Perhaps she's just trying to sow discord amongst us? She is probably plotting to strain my relationship with Lu Qing'er as well."

Jiang Qing'e glared at him as she could see the worry in his eyes. Her lips curled upwards a little. When it came to relationships, males tended to be particularly slow on the uptake. Li Luo might have truly treated Lu Qing'er as a good friend and didn't have any other thoughts about it. However, the latter did not necessarily feel the same way.

Back in the Astral Sage College, Lu Qing'er had openly questioned the legitimacy of their engagement in front of Jiang Qing'e. As such, Jiang Qing'e knew in her heart that Lu Shuanglu was not lying.

Lu Qing'er had fallen for Li Luo right from the start.

Jiang Qing'e looked at the naive and handsome fellow in front of her as a pang of frustration welled up in her heart. “Why did this brat end up with such good looks?”

However, she did not say anything to Li Luo and kept things in her heart. She did not tell him about how Lu Qing'er had courageously stood up and confronted her in the past. After all, it did not concern him.

Li Luo took a step forward when he saw her deep in thought. He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around Jiang Qing'e’s slender waist. He told her with a smile, "Sister Qing'e, don't worry. I will never forget that I'm engaged to you. The only thing that I'm looking forward to right now is for Father and Mother to return. Then we can have our wedding."

A pale, red blush appeared on her white cheeks when she heard those sudden words. She had been wishing for that day to come as well.

Then the sound of rushing wind could be heard coming from the distance.

Jiang Qing'e got her emotions under control and gave Li Luo a stare, smacking his arm away from her waist. It seemed like she wouldn't be able to continue cultivating today. It was time to return and to rest.

She walked off with long strides, back to the camp.

Li Luo hurriedly followed.

Then a sentence came from Jiang Qing'e that caused him to feel immensely aggrieved.

"You're not allowed into the tent tonight."

This girl was really hard to please.

......

The Golden Stone Valley gradually got more crowded in the coming days. More squads from the various powers, as well as rogue cultivators, had gathered for a share of the harvest.

Despite there being more people, the area had gotten quieter. No one started any fights in the meantime.

This was because the energy shockwaves from a fight would scare off the Golden Stone Spirit Clams.

As everyone awaited in anticipation, the time they had been looking forward to came on the seventh day. Everyone could hear the sounds of gushing water emerging from the depths of the valley.

It was so incredibly loud that the sound could be heard thousands of miles away.

Li Luo's eyes were wide, full of anticipation.

The time had come.
