Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 717 - 719: Follow-up
By the time most people had left, Zhuang Hua was thinking of taking his leave when Xia Liu stopped him, “Come with me to rest at the Lingyun Sect.”
Uh uh uh…
Having Xia Liu speak for him was different from speaking for himself.
What virtues or abilities did he, Zhuang Hua, have to speak to Ling Jue?
“This young friend, since Senior Xia has already spoken, it would be inappropriate for you to leave now. Hurry up and make your stance clear.”
Seeing Zhuang Hua fall silent, Ling Jue whispered in his ear.
“Hehe, then I really thank Brother Xia.”
If Xia Liu considered him such a friend, Zhuang Hua would be slapping his own face if he still called Xia Liu senior.
“Oh yeah! Shiyu, you said you’d take me to see where you practice. Now my chance has come.”
Han Mei said excitedly, grabbing Ling Shiyu’s jade hand.
“Sister Han Mei, even if you wanted to go back now, you couldn’t.”
“Hehe, then let’s head down the mountain first; we’re not very far from the Lingyun Sect.”
Ling Jue said with a smile, looking at the joyful scene.
After that, everyone entered the depths of the dense forest, led by Ling Jue.
After passing through numerous famous sceneries, Xia Liu and the others finally arrived at the Lingyun Sect.
Xia Liu had visited several sects before—the Taiji Sect, the Immeasurable Sect.
The Lingyun Sect was truly worthy of the title ‘sect.’
It covered a vast area, impossible to take in at a glance.
The architecture was also magnificent.
It bore some resemblance to the Immeasurable Sect.
Given the era it was founded, it must also be quite ancient.
Upon returning, Ling Jue immediately sent disciples to wait near Lingyun Mountain, instructing them to offer assistance to any martial artists who emerged from the secret realm.
He also dispatched many disciples to inspect the sites where the vortexes had appeared.
If there was more than one exit and they encountered any solitary martial artists, they could provide treatment.
As for other affairs, he couldn’t attend to them at the moment.
Compared to hosting a Path-Entering Martial Artist at the sect, all other matters could be delayed.
Actually, Xia Liu didn’t want to stay at the Lingyun Sect for long.
When he arrived at the Lingyun Sect, it was the afternoon.
He asked Ling Jue to arrange a room for him, and he didn’t come out of his room until evening.
By then, his spiritual energy had mostly recovered.
Strolling on the vast square of the Lingyun Sect, Xia Liu looked around.
Many disciples were busy with their tasks.
From their conversations, Xia Liu learned that Ling Jue was planning a banquet.
And the protagonist of the banquet, as anyone could guess with their toes, was him.
“Brother Xia Liu!”

Just as Xia Liu was wondering whether he should stop Ling Jue, a pleasant Spirit Sound entered his ears.
Turning around, he saw it was Ling Shiyu, Han Mei, and Han Yan.
“Hello to you all.”
“Brother Xia Liu, you’ve recovered so quickly. My father was worried about you.”
This banquet was especially for Xia Liu, and if Xia Liu didn’t show up, it would never begin.
This was a concern not only for Ling Jue, but also Ling Shiyu, Han Mei, and others.
“Hehe, I just went back to sleep, don’t worry about me,” Xia Liu said with a chuckle.
“Then let’s hurry over. You must be hungry.” Han Mei and Ling Shiyu, mustering courage from who knows where, both stepped forward and took an arm of Xia Liu’s each.
“Hiss…”
Xia Liu drew in a sharp breath as waves of a fresh, fragrant scent washed over him, aware of where the smell was coming from.
At the same time, the strange sensation in his arm was making his heartbeat accelerate.
“Then let’s go together.” After forcibly calming himself, Xia Liu was supported by the two women as he walked away.
Han Yan had already broken out in a cold sweat behind them.
Xia Liu, after all, was a legendary Path-Entering Level martial artist.
Moreover, the techniques he displayed were ones few in Huaxia could achieve.
Such an intimidating martial artist, and yet Ling Shiyu and Han Mei actually dared to drag him away.
That was rather impressive…
“Senior Xia is here.” Seeing his daughter arm in arm with Xia Liu, Ling Jue felt an immense joy in his heart.
“Mm, there’s no need to make the scene so grand, we can keep it simple,” Xia Liu said.
“Yes, yes, we’ll follow Senior Xia’s wishes, let’s go inside then, and leave the outside to the disciples to handle entirely,” Ling Jue naturally dared not say much else.
All of this was done to create a certain atmosphere for Xia Liu.
If the main character disliked it, of course, they would cease immediately.
However, the disciples of Lingyun Sect found it strange.
They couldn’t understand why their Sect Master, a Heavenly Rank High Level cultivator, who stood high above all, would actually listen to a young man.
And that young man was about their own age!
It was as unbelievable as encountering a ghost.
Inside the largest hall of Lingyun Sect, only one table was set up on the red carpet amid the lavish decorations.
At the table, Xia Liu was surrounded by Ling Shiyu and Han Mei.
Ling Jue, Zhuang Hua, and Han Yan were each on a side.
These were all people relatively close to Xia Liu.
The atmosphere at the table was largely maintained by Ling Shiyu and Han Mei.
Both women were in the prime of their youth, and each had their own different feelings for Xia Liu.
It was normal for them to compete to show off.
However, Xia Liu was very aware of his own status; he absolutely could not destroy these two girls who had little experience of the world.
“Sect Master Ling, I will be leaving tomorrow. Please sign for the cultivation techniques you left with me before,” Xia Liu said, stirring his Divine Sense, and hundreds of cultivation technique volumes appeared out of nowhere on the table.
“Uh, uh, uh…”
Faced with the sudden appearance of the books, everyone present was astonished.
But having seen Xia Liu perform this kind of sudden concealment and retrieval several times before, they soon calmed down.
“Senior Xia, on behalf of the Lingyun Sect, I thank you!” If his legs could bend, Ling Jue would have knelt by now.
This time he felt Xia Liu’s power once again, not knowing what spell was cast that made kneeling impossible for him.
“It’s okay, these things are not needed, but when you have the time, copy a few to take back with you. After all, one ought to gain something from a foray into a Secret Realm,” Xia Liu looked at Zhuang Hua, Han Mei, and Han Yan and said.
“Heh heh, Senior Xia is right. I will discuss the details with Young Friend Zhuang later on, so I can sort out the suitable cultivation techniques and martial arts skills for him and his family,” Ling Jue said without any hesitation.
After all, these cultivation techniques were discovered by Xia Liu. Even if they were not given to him, that would have been reasonable.
But since he had given them, he must follow Xia Liu’s words.
Not just copies, he even wanted to give the originals to Zhuang Hua and Han Mei.
However, signing over the originals was definitely something they would not accept.
“Thank you, Brother Xia!”
Zhuang Hua didn’t even know what to say anymore; if these techniques could excite Ling Jue, they must be extraordinary indeed.
“Thank you, Brother Xia Liu!”
“Heh heh, we are fated, and I believe we will have even more ties in the future. I need to head back now; you guys discuss it,” Xia Liu said before leaving.
He didn’t notice, however, that beside the table, a beautiful shadow’s eyes shifted slightly, her thoughts unknown.
Late at night, the wind was cold and the moon chilly. Outside the room where Xia Liu was staying, a dark shadow approached slowly like a specter…
