After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 435 Different paths lead to the same destination

Spring Dew Pavilion.

Bai Lu said to Guan Bi, "Put Shen Xu in my room!"

"Miss, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Guan Bi advised.

"Would it be suitable to put it in your room?"

"Miss, that's not what I meant. There are still quite a few empty rooms in Chunlu Pavilion."

Besides, Shen Xu will be staying at Chunlu Pavilion for a while; we can't let him stay in Miss's room."

"It's too late today, and it will take time to prepare a room. Let him stay at my place first, and I'll sleep with you tonight."

"Since Miss insists, then we have no choice but to agree."

After settling Shen Xu and Jiao Jiao in, Bai Lu and Guan Bi left the room and sat in the pavilion outside the building, gazing at the bright moon and stars in the sky.

They all had so much to say, yet they didn't know where to begin.

"Guanbi, do you think this wouldn't have happened if Shen Xu had taken the Golden Feather Sword from Lord Baiyu City?"

"I'm sorry, Miss. I shouldn't have stopped you from using Kendama."

I told him not long ago that we could help him, but this time he's left to face it all alone again. Guan Bi couldn't help but lower his head.

"Your choice at the time was correct, but I never expected that Old Ghost Dan would target us all."

The woman in red kept staring at us, and no matter what, I couldn't use Kendama at that time.

While Heaven bestowed upon him the Dao Seal, it also brought down calamities.

If Shen Xu had taken that golden feather sword, he wouldn't have obtained the Dao Seal, and the person behind the scenes wouldn't have attacked him.

Everything is preordained; this is his destiny, and there's nothing we can do to help him. You don't need to feel guilty about it.

"Miss~" Guan Bi looked at Bai Lu with great surprise.

"However, Shen Xu is truly amazing now. Without us even realizing it, he has grown to a point where we have to look up to him."

He was actually able to fight against the Transformation Treasure with his Qi Sea body.

"I don't even know how to catch up with him. Among us, perhaps only Xiao Yi can surpass him in the future." Bai Lu smiled helplessly.

"In the path of cultivation, the right way is to accumulate knowledge and experience gradually. There is no need for us to rush to catch up with Shen Xu. We just need to make sure we don't fall too far behind him."

Shen Xu's talent for cultivation is undeniable. Without special opportunities, his cultivation will only improve at a slower pace, giving us ample time to catch up with him.

Moreover, Miss's greatest talent doesn't lie in cultivation; of the three thousand paths to enlightenment, all lead to the same destination.

……

In a daze, Shen Xu's consciousness returned to his body, and he felt the softness beneath him, a sensation he had never experienced before.

I tentatively grasped it with my palm, and an extremely smooth and soft feeling came through my hand.

This feeling gave him a jolt, and he instantly opened his eyes. When he saw that he was the only one on the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Rubbing his groggy head, Shen Xu struggled to sit up and began to look around at his surroundings.

The room was brightly lit and extremely luxurious, with every detail exuding exquisiteness and perfection. However, the overall style clearly indicated that it was a girl's boudoir.

"This fragrance...is this Bailu's room?"

Shen Xu scratched his head. Why would Bai Lu put him in her room?

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Shen Xu quickly checked his physical condition.

Only then did he realize that the purple markings that had seeped into his body were still eroding his flesh and blood, while the abundant blue energy within him was mutually consuming the purple markings.

Moreover, the internal injuries he suffered from being struck by Old Ghost Dan's large hand were slowly healing under the blue aura, and even the pain in his body was greatly reduced.

"What is this blue aura? And who saved me?"

Gently stroking the still-sleeping Jiaojiao beside him, Shen Xu's gaze deepened. He didn't know Dan Laogui, and didn't even have any enemies in the Four Directions Sword Alliance.

Old Ghost Dan did not decide to refine him on a whim after seeing him obtain the Dao Seal; rather, he had meticulously planned it for a long time. What was inside him that made Old Ghost Dan go to such lengths?

Unable to figure it out, Shen Xu simply got up and pushed open the door. He wanted to know where he was.

As night falls, the distant silver Milky Way resembles a starry galaxy, encircling numerous buildings of various shapes and sizes, creating a grand and majestic scene. Faintly, one can hear the roaring waves, like the fury of a dragon.

Upstream from the Milky Way, the cliffs on both sides are as sharp as if cut by a sword, and nine waterfalls cascade down. A twelve-story white pagoda is rooted on the top of the main waterfall, its body wrapped in chains formed of sword energy. A lightning pearl floats on the top of the pagoda, from which a low roar of a dragon seems to emanate, causing the clouds to surge and undulate continuously.

"Tianhe Sword Sect!" Shen Xu suppressed his inner shock and slowly walked down the pavilion. He saw Bai Lu and Guan Bi in the pavilion below.

"Shen Xu, when did you wake up?" Upon seeing Shen Xu, Bai Lu immediately stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I just woke up, how did I end up at the Tianhe Sword Sect? What happened next?"

"After you fell into a coma, the Judge saved you, but your body was also tainted by that purple energy, and your condition was very dangerous. Aunt Lan said that the Thunder Spirit Liquid inside the Heavenly River could repair your body, so I brought you to the Heavenly River Sword Sect."

"Thunder Spirit Liquid? Then what is the blue aura within my body?"

"That's Aunt Lan's healing breath. It can only slow down the spread of the purple markings on your body, but it can't completely solve your problem."

Upon hearing Bai Lu's answer, Shen Xu frowned. "How can I obtain Thunder Spirit Liquid?"

"Thunder Spirit Liquid exists only in the Thunder Pool Secret Realm deep within the Milky Way and cannot be brought to the outside world through any container. The entrance to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm only appears during the Milky Way's great tide."

If you want to obtain Thunder Spirit Liquid, you must gain the opportunity to participate in the Heavenly River Tide.

"I'm not a disciple of the Tianhe Sword Sect, so am I still qualified to participate?"

"You are not a disciple of the Tianhe Sword Sect, but you are a member of the Tianhe Society. In addition, the Sword Master is willing to vouch for you, so you can have the opportunity to compete with other Qi Sea Realm disciples of the Tianhe Sword Sect for the qualification to participate in the Tianhe Great Tide."

The full moon will be here in two days, and most of the current qualifications have already been assigned. If you want to obtain a qualification, you must snatch it from the disciples who have already obtained it.

"However, most of the disciples who qualify are probably already at the peak of the Qi Sea Realm, so you should be mentally prepared," Guan Bi explained.

"This..." Shen Xu felt a little bitter. He had just broken through to the Qi Sea Realm and was now being asked to snatch something from the peak of the Qi Sea Realm.

"Shen Xu, can you use that golden light spell again?" Bai Lu asked.

"I'm afraid that won't work." Shen Xu shook his head. He and Jiao Jiao had forcibly used that supernatural power, which had already damaged the seed of that power.

"Don't worry, even if that supernatural power can't be used, I have other methods," Shen Xu reassured them with a smile.

"Divine power!!" Bai Lu and Guan Bi were shocked. Sure enough, only spells at the divine power level could have that kind of power.

"Bai Lu, please find me another room to sleep in! I can't keep staying in your room forever."

"You knew that was my room?" Bai Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It smells like you."

"You...you lecher!" Bai Lu blushed instantly.

"It wasn't me who climbed into your bed on my own initiative!" Shen Xu felt helpless.

"What are you saying! That's too much!" Bai Lu said, then turned and left the two of them in a fluster.

Shen Xu looked at Bai Lu's back with some confusion. Was what he said really that bad?

"Miss, are you shy? Let me find you a room!" Guan Bi said with a light laugh.

Seeing Guan Bi's smile, Shen Xu immediately became wary. "Let me make it clear first, I'm still injured, so you can't lay a hand on me."

“You’ve been unconscious so many times, and every single time I’ve carried you on my back. There’s nothing about you I don’t know.” Guan Bi smiled as she approached him.

"That's outrageous!" Shen Xu immediately stepped back a little.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the young master in front of Miss!"

Hearing this, Shen Xu turned to look at the attic behind him and, sure enough, found Bai Lu peeking from up there. Upon noticing him, she hurriedly went inside.

"Will Miss have a wet dream tonight, sleeping on the bed where her husband once slept?" Guan Bi murmured softly.

Are you all such perverts?
