He Lu followed Liu Shuang all the way to the foot of the mountain. When she just left Hongzun Cave, she happened to meet Xu Jie.
Seeing Liu Shuang and the others, Xu Jie took the initiative to greet them.
"Second Senior Sister, what are you...?"
"The people from the Luoxia Sect said they were engaged to one of my servant disciples from Divine Sword Peak and asked the master to break off the engagement."
Liu Shuang replied calmly. Hearing this, Xu Jie glanced at He Lu.
Facing Xu Jie, who was dressed in white and had outstanding temperament, He Lu blushed slightly, lowered her head and said shyly.
"He Lu has met senior brother."
Xu Jie nodded casually and turned to look at Liu Shuandao.
"Let's go together then. We're on our way."
Xu Jie planned to go to the kitchen. Although it was still early, he had nothing to do. He wanted to grab a seat first so as not to suffer any loss.
Hearing this, Liu Shuang had no objection, and the three of them walked together. However, He Lu kept secretly looking at Xu Jie on the way.
This is a direct disciple of the Taoist sect. He is truly a young talent. She, He Lu, will definitely be a Taoist companion like this in the future.
He Lu thought secretly in her heart, but Xu Jie completely ignored her meaning.
When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, more than a dozen Luoxia Sect disciples who came with He Lu were already waiting here.
They were inner disciples of the Luoxia Sect, so naturally they were not qualified to enter the Hongzun Cave, so they were directly arranged to rest in a guest room on the mountainside.
At this time, when He Lu arrived, everyone expressed their intention to go with He Lu, and some disciples even said so unscrupulously.
"Sister, don't worry. With us here this time, we will definitely make that kid retreat when he sees difficulties."
"That's right, a toad wants to eat swan meat. How can a mere handyman disciple be worthy of Senior Sister He Lu?"
The words of these disciples were full of contempt for Ye Changqing, but they were completely unaware that this was the territory of the Taoist Sect after all. In other people's territory, they were humiliating the disciples of the Taoist Sect in this way in front of others.
Even if he is just a handyman disciple, in the final analysis, he is still a member of the Taoist sect.
Therefore, after hearing these words, Liu Shuang immediately snorted coldly, and a chill spread out from her body.
Feeling a chill, all the Luoxia Sect disciples realized that they had said the wrong thing and closed their mouths one after another. He Lu even took the initiative to apologize.
"Senior sister atones for her sins, that's not what they mean."
"Don't let me hear similar words again. Also, if you want to break off the engagement, you must give compensation."
Hearing this, Liu Shuang glanced at He Lu coldly. She had no idea before, but now, if He Lu wants to break off the engagement, she must give compensation.
In response, He Lu nodded without any hesitation.
"Sister said yes."
Ignoring these Luoxia Sect disciples, Liu Shuang continued to walk towards the foot of the mountain, while the Luoxia Sect disciples behind him were all silent at this time, not daring to say another word.
"I said, how can you care about these things?"
Xu Jie didn't care about walking side by side with Liu Shuang and asked casually.
"Master arranged it."
Liu Shuang naturally didn't want to pay attention to these things, but even if the master spoke, there was nothing she could do.
"Well, luckily Master didn't call me."
Xu Jie expressed his gratitude that Hong Zun did not let him be responsible for this matter. Hearing this, Liu Shuang glanced at him displeased. Is this guy gloating?
Along the way, many disciples from the Divine Sword Peak were all in a hurry, and some even used their physical skills to rush on their way.
Facing this scene, all the disciples of Luoxia Sect felt strange. Why are they so anxious?
Naturally, they didn't know that these disciples were all rushing to the kitchen, which was still some time before the meal time. Otherwise, when the meal time was approaching, the scene of many disciples running wildly along the way would be wonderful.
It is like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers.
Liu Shuang asked after arriving at the handyman disciple area all the way.
"What's that man's name?"
I had forgotten to ask who He Lu's engagement partner was, but I only remembered it now.
The surrounding disciples who were rushing to the kitchen and passing by also stopped to watch curiously after seeing Liu Shuang and others.
It was obvious at a glance that He Lu and others were disciples of the Luoxia Sect, but he was curious about what they were doing in the Dao Yizong.
After asking, I found out that he was actually here to break off the engagement, and the person was a handyman disciple.
Under the gaze of many Divine Sword Peak disciples, He Lu replied truthfully.
"Ye Changqing, a disciple of Shenjian Peak's kitchen."
It was a normal answer, but Liu Shuang was stunned as soon as he said this, as was Xu Jie beside him, as well as many disciples from the outer and inner sects of Divine Sword Peak around him.
Everyone was stunned in place, and it wasn't until Liu Shuang came back to his senses that she continued to speak.
"Your engagement partner is Ye Changqing? Do you want to break off the engagement with him?"
I don't know if it was an illusion, but He Lu always felt that Liu Shuang was colder than before. Moreover, why did this cold breath seem to have a hint of murderous intent?
Maybe she felt wrong. He Lu kept comforting herself and nodded in reply.
"Yes, I am a family friend of Ye Changqing's family. When I was a child, the elders of the family made a marriage contract for the two of us."
"But now he is just a handyman disciple. The engagement back then seems to be a wrong choice now, so........."
He Lu wanted to explain clearly, but before she could finish speaking, Liu Shuang interrupted directly.
"Shut up."
Following the words, spiritual power fluctuations were seen rising from Liu Shuang's body. At the same time, a force of ice swept across the surroundings. The extreme cold made He Lu and other Luoxia Sect disciples shiver.
I don't know why Liu Shuang suddenly acted like this. The disciples of Luoxia Sect were still confused. He Lu was about to speak. Xu Jie on the side also narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of danger in his eyes.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Changqing. So you think Junior Brother Changqing is not good enough for you and want to unilaterally regret the marriage?"
After hearing what Xu Jie said, He Lu nodded subconsciously before she could react.
"After all, the status gap between the two of us now......"
He still wanted to explain, but the Luoxia Sect disciples on the side kept pulling on He Lu's sleeves.
In response, He Lu turned around and shouted in a low voice, dissatisfied.
"doing what?"
Hearing this, the Luoxia Sect disciple winked at the surroundings and motioned He Lu to observe the situation of the Daoyi Sect disciples around him.
Following the disciple's gaze, He Lu realized that the many Dao Yizong disciples who had gathered around him had already turned extremely unkind eyes towards them.
As if there was any grudge, the chill in his eyes made He Lu's heart sink, and she was also filled with doubts.
What happened to this Divine Sword Peak disciple? Why did it suddenly become like this, as if I had a grudge against them.
I didn't say anything just now. I just said something about Ye Changqing.
On the other hand, the Luoxia Sect disciple on the side whispered.
"Senior sister, is your fiancé a handyman disciple?"
Seeing Liu Shuang and the others, Xu Jie took the initiative to greet them.
"Second Senior Sister, what are you...?"
"The people from the Luoxia Sect said they were engaged to one of my servant disciples from Divine Sword Peak and asked the master to break off the engagement."
