Chapter 247 Lu Xueqi Wins the Heart of a Beauty
Just as Ling Feng was heading towards the last small bamboo peak with great anticipation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful and refined yet somewhat aloof and lonely figure on the Moon Gazing Platform of the small bamboo peak.
With Ling Feng's current strength, he can keenly perceive even the slightest changes in his surroundings.
When the figure appeared in the distance, he instantly knew who it was, thanks to his extraordinary perception – apart from Lu Xueqi of Xiaozhu Peak, no one else could exude such a unique aura.
At this moment, Lu Xueqi stood quietly at the edge of the pavilion on the Moon-Viewing Terrace, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance, as if she were lost in thought, lost in a daze.
Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little puzzled: at such a late hour, when everyone had already gone to bed, why was she standing here all alone?
Is something troubling her?
In fact, Ling Feng arranged for Xiaozhu Peak to be the last one to be explored, partly because he wanted to meet Lu Xueqi at night.
After all, Lu Xueqi, as one of the female protagonists in the novel "Zhu Xian", has long been deeply loved by people for her beautiful and elegant image, becoming the white moonlight in the hearts of countless fans of "Zhu Xian", and Ling Feng himself is naturally no exception.
Now that he has the opportunity to meet Lu Xueqi alone by chance, how could Ling Feng easily let go of such a rare opportunity?
Without hesitation, he unleashed his aura, descending slowly from the sky like an immortal, and landed steadily on the Moon Gazing Platform.
Caught off guard by Ling Feng's sudden appearance, Lu Xueqi was immediately filled with astonishment.
So much so that she forgot to react at all, only staring wide-eyed at Ling Feng in front of her, standing there frozen as if petrified.
Just moments ago, she was still immersed in longing and sadness for someone, never expecting that the person she had been thinking about would actually appear in front of her at this moment. This huge contrast truly surprised her.
Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Ling Feng felt a surge of nervousness, but he knew he couldn't remain silent any longer, or the situation would only become more awkward.
So he took a deep breath and spoke first:
"I hope you will not take offense at my unannounced visit!"
As Ling Feng's clear and steady voice rang out, Lu Xueqi finally slowly came back to her senses from her dazed state.
However, when she realized that she had been lost in thought because of Ling Feng's sudden appearance, a wave of shyness washed over her.
You should know that as one of the best among the younger generation of Qingyun Sect, she has always presented herself as calm and reserved. However, she lost her composure in front of Ling Feng, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
However, Lu Xueqi was no ordinary woman. She quickly suppressed her shyness and returned to her usual aloof and proud demeanor.
She slightly raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ling Feng, and softly asked:
"May I ask what brings you here so suddenly, Young Master Ling?"
Upon hearing Lu Xueqi's question, Ling Feng did not hesitate at all. He decided to stop beating around the bush and directly state his purpose:
"I have come here specifically for you, young lady."
After saying this, Ling Feng looked intently at Lu Xueqi, his eyes filled with sincerity and deep affection.
However, Ling Feng's undisguised way of confessing his feelings greatly surprised Lu Xueqi.
In an instant, a blush as beautiful as the sunset spread across her pretty face, clearly indicating that she was somewhat flustered by Ling Feng's words.
Although she did have some affection for Ling Feng deep down, after witnessing the intimate behavior between Ling Feng and Bi Yao, her heart had gradually cooled down, and she even began to feel disheartened.
So when Ling Feng suddenly appeared and confessed his feelings to her, she was completely at a loss for words and could only instinctively reply:
"Young hero, please don't joke like that..."
Seeing this, Ling Feng thought for a moment and realized that Lu Xueqi must be full of doubts, thinking that he was just saying it casually.
So he quickly suppressed his smile, his expression becoming extremely serious, and he earnestly assured them again:
“Every word I have said is absolutely true, and I am not joking at all!”
Ling Feng spoke solemnly, his gaze firm and sincere, as if he wanted to convey all his innermost thoughts to the other person.
In fact, his purpose in coming here was not without the reason of Lu Xueqi.
Furthermore, the reason he dared to reveal his true feelings so openly was because the brief probing earlier had allowed him to discern Lu Xueqi's true attitude.
Otherwise, given Ling Feng's personality and style of doing things, he would definitely go with the flow and cleverly deflect the issue by saying that he was just joking.
Lu Xueqi gazed at Ling Feng quietly. Seeing his calm and genuine expression, she couldn't help but feel a surge of indescribable shyness.
At the same time, in the most hidden corner of her heart, a faint, almost imperceptible joy quietly rose.
After all, she had always harbored feelings for Ling Feng, but she had always kept them buried deep in her heart and never revealed them.
Now, she unexpectedly discovered that Ling Feng had the same feelings for her, how could she not be overjoyed?
However, as a woman who devoted herself to Taoist practice, she should not have such obvious emotional fluctuations and outward expressions.
Just as described in the original work, although Lu Xueqi deeply loved Zhang Xiaofan, she always kept that feeling buried deep in her heart, appearing exceptionally reserved and introverted.
However, the gears of fate took a subtle turn—she met Ling Feng from the future.
For Ling Feng, that kind of extremely pure, subtle, and profound way of loving was simply beyond his control.
In his view, if you truly like someone, you should say it out loud without hesitation.
Of course, the reason he chose to suppress his feelings and not express them before this was not because he lacked courage or sincerity, but because he was worried that being too hasty would frighten the beauty he admired and cause him to miss this wonderful opportunity.
Therefore, he patiently waited for the most suitable opportunity to arrive.
However, now that everything has been taken care of, Ling Feng knows that he is about to embark on another journey through time.
Although he couldn't be sure when he could return to this world, he really didn't want to easily miss out on the woman who was like a white moonlight in the hearts of fans of the novel.
If the other person has no feelings for him, he may have no choice but to give up.
But judging from her current behavior, it's clear that both parties are interested in each other.
Now that things have come to this, how could Ling Feng possibly back down in the face of battle?
Immediately afterwards, the conversation between the two became more and more harmonious, and the atmosphere gradually warmed up.
At first, Lu Xueqi mistakenly thought that Ling Feng was just teasing her. However, faced with Ling Feng's sincere and firm assurances time and time again, she finally decided to put aside her doubts for the time being and choose to believe Ling Feng this time.
After all, Ling Feng had experienced the years of being a loser in his previous life, and with the tempering and growth in the world of Tianlong and the current world of Zhuxian, he could now be considered a seasoned veteran in the game of love.
In contrast, Lu Xueqi was like a blank sheet of paper in this regard, innocent and naive.
Therefore, when she encountered a master of romance like Ling Feng, it was naturally difficult for her to escape his grasp.
Not long after they realized each other's feelings, Lu Xueqi became deeply immersed in the relationship and couldn't extricate herself.
Lu Xueqi began cultivating the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique of the Qingyun Sect from a young age. This profound and unfathomable technique not only endowed her with great strength but also shaped her unique and aloof temperament.
Her daily cultivation made her temperament as cold and aloof as ice and snow, as if nothing in the world could stir up any waves in the depths of her heart.
This aloof temperament destined her to be like an icy mountain in matters of the heart, difficult for ordinary people to climb.
She rarely falls in love easily, but once she does, her affection is unwavering and indelible until death.
Unlike other women, she did not approach relationships with fiery passion or grand gestures, but rather with the reserved and subtle nature of a secluded orchid in a deep valley, revealing her feelings only unintentionally.
But fate played a cruel trick on her, leading this aloof and elegant beauty to meet Ling Feng—a seasoned veteran in love.
Once Ling Feng discerned Lu Xueqi's feelings, he launched a fierce romantic offensive without hesitation.
With his years of experience and keen insight, Ling Feng quickly found the key to unlock Lu Xueqi's heart, successfully making her fall into this passionate love and unable to extricate herself.
The two were immersed in sweet love, enjoying the wonderful time spent together.
Finally, at some point, Ling Feng decided to confess to Lu Xueqi his true purpose for coming to Qingyun Sect.
Of course, Ling Feng chose to conceal the truth about the mysterious sword.
This was not because he distrusted Lu Xueqi, but because he was worried that revealing the whole story might cause unnecessary trouble and unforeseen events.
Lu Xueqi didn't really care too much about Ling Feng's intentions.
She has never been interested in sect affairs or conflicts in the martial arts world. As long as she can stay with her beloved, everything else is insignificant to her.
Since she didn't care at all, Ling Feng finally felt relieved and completely at ease.
After calming himself down a bit, Ling Feng looked intently at Lu Xueqi and asked softly:
"Xueqi, would you be willing to travel the world with me someday?"
Upon hearing Ling Feng's words, a rare and touching blush appeared on Lu Xueqi's usually cool and aloof face, and a hint of surprise and anticipation flashed in her beautiful eyes.
Clearly, she was actually very tempted by Ling Feng's suggestion.
However, just as she was about to agree, the image of Biyao involuntarily appeared in her mind.
The thought that Ling Feng already had Bi Yao by his side made Lu Xueqi feel a strange sense of resentment.
As for Ling Feng, he had already considered Bi Yao long before he proposed the idea.
After all, he genuinely loved both Biyao and Lu Xueqi, and he was unwilling to give up on either of them easily.
The most urgent task right now is to find a way to properly handle the relationship between the two of them.
So, Ling Feng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and slowly began to tell Lu Xueqi about his past experiences and details with Bi Yao.
As Ling Feng recounted his story, those sweet and sad memories unfolded before Lu Xueqi's eyes like a scroll painting.
After Ling Feng finished speaking, Lu Xueqi's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the slight resentment in her heart also lessened considerably.
Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If we're talking about who came first, Ling Feng and Bi Yao knew each other first, while I was the one who came later.
Thinking this way, Lu Xueqi's state of mind gradually became peaceful.
Seeing this, Ling Feng, who had been keeping a close eye on her expression, quickly seized the opportunity to continue his "brainwashing" work.
Ling Feng said with a serious expression:
"Xueqi, for us cultivators, it is usually one person for life."
But... I simply cannot bear to part with either of you, which is why I have dared to entertain such a greedy thought: to have both of you by my side at the same time!
After listening to Ling Feng's story, Lu Xueqi fell into a long silence and inner struggle.
On the one hand, she felt somewhat hesitant and uneasy about Ling Feng's request to travel together;
On the other hand, she seemed to be moved by certain elements in Ling Feng's words.
After a long and intense internal struggle, Lu Xueqi finally reluctantly agreed to Ling Feng's request, despite her great inner turmoil.
After settling things off with Lu Xueqi, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief, but he knew very well that there was an even more important matter waiting for him to deal with—that was to persuade Bi Yao.
Ling Feng wasn't particularly worried about Bi Yao's situation, because he felt that given his relationship with Bi Yao, persuading her shouldn't be too difficult.
However, Ling Feng was truly surprised that he was able to obtain Lu Xueqi's approval so easily; it was an unexpected and delightful surprise.
Although he had successfully taken the first step, Ling Feng knew that his most crucial goal for coming here had not yet been achieved.
So he decided to put aside his joy for the time being and focus on getting the important business done.
Now that Lu Xueqi knew his true purpose for coming, Ling Feng no longer tried to hide his identity. Instead, he frankly expressed his hope that Lu Xueqi would lead the way so that they could explore the entire Xiaozhu Peak together.
Lu Xueqi did not express any objection to Ling Feng's request.
Perhaps out of trust in Ling Feng, or perhaps to help him complete his mission as soon as possible, Lu Xueqi readily agreed and took on the role of guide, leading Ling Feng to explore the entire Xiaozhu Peak.
And so, under Lu Xueqi's guidance, Ling Feng roamed freely and unrestrainedly through every corner of Xiaozhu Peak.
Along the way, they superficially conducted a cursory investigation.
In reality, the mysterious sword within the Lingfeng system space had already begun scanning to the maximum extent, leaving no possible hiding place unchecked.
Persistence pays off. After some investigation, Ling Feng discovered a fragment of a mysterious sword!
Ling Feng silently memorized the relevant characteristics and location of the fragment, planning to find an opportunity to ask Dao Xuan for it the next day.
Finally, after some searching and exploration, no further discoveries were made.
So, Ling Feng gently took Lu Xueqi's soft, boneless hand and headed back to the tranquil and beautiful Moon Gazing Terrace.
After all, the two had just frankly expressed their long-held feelings for each other, but this relationship still needs to be further strengthened and deepened.
They sat together on the Moon-Viewing Platform, gazing up at the twinkling stars in the night sky, whispering their innermost thoughts and feelings.
Time seemed to stand still, flowing silently by. Before we knew it, the sky was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.
