Qing Shuang looked at Luo Chen gratefully, knowing that Luo Chen always considered her well-being.

...

Dusk.

The two rented a small courtyard in the town.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang planned to stay in this town for a few days to rest.

Meanwhile, they could also sort out their thoughts.

Consider where to focus their training in the future.

"Qing Shuang."

In the town, within the small courtyard.

Luo Chen silently sat under the Stone Pavilion, while gazing at the bright moon in the sky, he softly tossed words to Qing Shuang beside him: "What do you think of this town?"

Qing Shuang leaned gently against the railing of the Stone Pavilion, moonlight casting a gentle glow on her delicate face.

She contemplated for a moment before slowly speaking: "This town is very peaceful, people live in tranquillity, seemingly isolated from outside disturbances, but I feel we should not stay here too long, as our goal is to improve ourselves, to explore the unknown."

Luo Chen nodded in agreement, knowing that Qing Shuang’s words made sense.

Though they could find temporary peace in such a town, their journey was far from over, with more challenges awaiting them.

"You’re right, Qing Shuang," Luo Chen stood up, walked to Qing Shuang’s side with a resolute gaze, "We cannot forget our initial resolve; although this town is calm, our path is still long."

Qing Shuang turned, standing alongside Luo Chen, looking towards the distant night sky.

She said softly, "We might stay a few more days in the town to sort out our thoughts, but then we must continue onward, perhaps we could gather some information about the outside world, preparing for the journey ahead."

Luo Chen agreed with a nod; they decided to go to the town’s teahouses and taverns, as they were usually hubs for news.

The next day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang woke early, had a simple breakfast, and headed towards the town center.

They arrived at a bustling teahouse, filled with various types of people: merchants, travelers, and local residents.

They found a corner seat, ordering a pot of tea and some snacks.

While sipping tea, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang listened intently to the conversations around them.

"Have you heard? The northern border isn’t peaceful lately; there’s an assembly of foreign troops," a middle-aged man with a beard said worriedly.

"Yes, I’ve heard too; it’s said they’re searching for the legendary ’Tianqi Stone,’ which is rumoured to have world-altering power," a young scholar next to him added.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, aware that this information was of great importance to them.

If the foreign tribes are truly searching for such tremendous power, they must uncover the truth quickly to prevent potential disaster.

"Qing Shuang, seems we have a clear direction now," Luo Chen said quietly to Qing Shuang, "Shall we head north and uncover the truth about this ’Tianqi Stone’?"

Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen’s decisions were always well-considered.

They decided to stay another day in town, gathering more intelligence on the northern frontier, then set out north.

In the following day, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang scoured the town for news, gathering useful information from various sources.

They learned that indeed, there was a foreign army active at the northern frontier, and they seemed fixated on the "Tianqi Stone."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang packed and prepared to leave the small town.

They knew the road ahead would be filled with the unknown and danger, but they understood that only by facing challenges could they grow stronger.

On the morning of their departure from the town, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood at the town’s entrance, looking back at this place where they once found tranquillity. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

They knew this departure might mean a long time before they return.

"Let’s go, Qing Shuang," Luo Chen said gently, eyes glowing with resolve.

Qing Shuang nodded, gripping her sword’s hilt tightly, as she and Luo Chen stepped side by side towards the northern journey.

They traversed the fields surrounding the town, crossed the rolling mountains, and finally arrived at a desolate frontier area.

The air here was filled with tension and unease, with signs of foreign army activity everywhere.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang carefully avoided enemy patrols, venturing deep into the frontier’s heart.

They discovered an ancient ruin occupied by the foreign army, seeming to be the location of the "Tianqi Stone."

The ruin was riddled with various traps and mechanisms.

Moreover, formations, restrictions, and even demonic beasts that usually appeared only in ruins were here.

"This place is dangerous."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a knowing glance, aware that every step ahead needed utmost caution.

Luo Chen took out the newly purchased Jade Pendant from his waist, handing it to Qing Shuang, "Wear this, perhaps it can help us resist some unforeseen dangers."

Qing Shuang accepted the Jade Pendant, hanging it around her neck, sensing the gentle warmth emanating from it, as if there was indeed a mysterious power flowing within.

They continued deeper into the ruin, avoiding traps with every careful step.

Luo Chen excelled at observation, while Qing Shuang had a keen intuition for danger, complementing each other, allowing them to navigate obstacles smoothly.

Finally, they arrived before a massive Stone Gate, adorned with ancient runes glowing with a soft light.

Luo Chen examined the runes thoroughly, noticing a connection with the patterns on the Jade Pendant.

"Qing Shuang, look at these runes; they seem to resonate with the patterns on your Jade Pendant," Luo Chen said.

Qing Shuang nodded, removing the Jade Pendant, trying to bring it closer to the Stone Gate.

The Jade Pendant emitted a brighter light as it neared the Stone Gate, the runes appeared to activate, slowly rotating.

The Stone Gate opened gradually, releasing a heavy rumbling sound.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang held their breath, cautiously entering the chamber beyond the Stone Gate.

Inside the chamber, a gigantic Crystal Stone floated silently in the air, emanating a gentle glow.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were captivated by the beauty of the Crystal Stone, soon realizing it must be the legendary "Tianqi Stone."

However, as they prepared to approach it, a silhouette suddenly appeared from the shadows, blocking their path.

It was a foreign warrior, eyes filled with vigilance and hostility.

"Who are you? Why have you intruded here?" the foreign warrior demanded.

Luo Chen stepped forward, responding calmly: "We are here to investigate the truth of the ’Tianqi Stone’ with no ill intentions."

The foreign warrior sneered, "You humans always have insatiable greed for power, but the ’Tianqi Stone’s’ power is beyond your reach."

Qing Shuang gripped her sword tighter, ready for battle should it come.

Luo Chen attempted to persuade the foreign warrior: "We are not driven by greed; rather we fear the ’Tianqi Stone’s’ power falling into wrong hands may cause disaster."

The foreign warrior was silent for a moment, pondering Luo Chen’s words.

Eventually, he slowly lowered his weapon, saying, "I can trust you, but you must prove your sincerity."

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged a determined glance, recognizing this opportunity and challenge.

They had to demonstrate their strength and sincerity to gain the foreign warrior’s trust.

Luo Chen stepped forward, explaining their origins and purpose, showcasing the intelligence and evidence gathered along the way.

Qing Shuang supported quietly beside him, her mere presence an unspoken strength.

After a thorough exchange, the foreign warrior was finally moved by Luo Chen and Qing Shuang’s sincerity.

He revealed that the "Tianqi Stone" indeed held immense power, but also great risk.

The reason the foreign tribes sought it was to prevent it from falling into evil hands.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang understood the foreign warrior’s concerns, pledging to help protect the "Tianqi Stone," ensuring it does not become the source of catastrophe.
