188: Lu Xueqi

Chapter 188: Lu Xueqi

Hearing this, Xiao Bai's nine fluffy little tails swayed gently.

"Go, go, don't disturb this fox's rest..."

Only after licking smooth the fur that Su Han had messed up did she find a comfortable position on the quilt again and curl up.

Then, no longer paying attention to Su Han, she fell into a deep sleep.

Su Han looked at Xiao Bai's cute appearance. "The difference between her fox form and human form is huge..."

"One is a mature older sister, the other is cute."

Su Han shook his head, then no longer paid attention to Xiao Bai and instead walked towards Lu Xueqi's room.

He estimated that by this time, she should have finished meeting with Shui Yue and returned to her room.

"I wonder how the sword technique I taught her is coming along?"

While thinking.

Soon, Su Han arrived outside Lu Xueqi's courtyard gate.

Knock knock knock~

Su Han gently knocked on the door of Lu Xueqi's room.

After a moment of silence, the door slowly opened, and Lu Xueqi's tall and slender figure appeared at the doorway.

She was wearing a moon-white long dress, the fabric of which seemed to be high-quality silk, delicate and soft.

The hem of the dress swayed gently with the breeze, like a secluded lotus quietly unfolding its petals under the moonlight, exuding a cold and elegant aura.

Her beautiful hair was as smooth and lustrous as black satin, falling down to her waist without a single strand out of place.

A few strands of hair playfully scattered on her fair, snow-like cheeks, as delicate as mutton-fat jade, further accentuating her exquisite and beautiful face, making it seem like a painting.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, slender and slightly upturned, revealing an innate heroic spirit.

Her eyes were clear and cold, but the moment they saw Su Han, a fleeting, almost imperceptible hint of surprise flashed through them...

Immediately after, a trace of joy quietly emerged in the depths of her cold eyes, but it was quickly and expertly concealed, so fast that it was almost impossible to catch.

However, very quickly.

Lu Xueqi looked at Su Han in front of her, a hint of doubt arising in her heart.

She felt that the Su Han before her was somehow different from before.

Although Su Han had always been handsome and extraordinary.

"But now, Senior Brother seems to possess an indescribable charm that makes me unconsciously want to get closer?"

Feeling this very subtle sensation.

Lu Xueqi thought to herself, "Is it because of Senior Brother's experiences down the mountain during this time that his temperament has changed?"

Lu Xueqi shook her head; she couldn't pinpoint exactly where the change had occurred.

But she didn't dislike this feeling.

And at this moment.

Su Han looked at Lu Xueqi, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and said with a smile, "Senior Sister Xueqi, long time no see."

"Yes, Senior Brother, you're back too."

Lu Xueqi's voice was soft and melodious, yet carried a hint of coolness, like a murmuring stream in the mountains, pleasant to the ear but with a touch of chill.

"This is not the place to talk."

Saying so.

She slightly turned sideways, inviting Su Han into the courtyard with an extremely elegant posture.

Su Han didn't stand on ceremony and walked directly into the room.

This was the first time Su Han had come to Lu Xueqi's room.

Taking a quick glance, the room was simply and elegantly furnished.

A carved wooden bed was placed in the corner, the bed curtains were made of plain, light gauze, gently fluttering, appearing and disappearing.

A bookshelf stood by the window, on which several volumes of classics were quietly placed.

In the center of the room was a square wooden table, surrounded by several chairs, and a set of purple clay tea ware was placed on the table.

Apart from that, there were only a few prayer mats and nothing else.

At this moment, Lu Xueqi moved with light steps to the table, her slender and fair hands gently picking up the teapot.

The spout tilted slightly, and the golden tea liquid poured out like silk, falling into the cup.

Her entire movement was elegant and composed, like a beautiful painting.

"Senior Brother, please sit."

Su Han sat down as instructed, extending his hand to pick up the teacup.

He first brought it to his nose to gently inhale the rising tea fragrance, then took a small sip, slightly narrowing his eyes, as if savoring the essence of the tea.

Although the room was simple, the tea leaves were first-rate.

After all, although Qingyun Sect didn't prioritize indulgence, they were still considered 'Immortals' in the eyes of ordinary people.

"Senior Brother, may I ask why you came to see Xueqi this time?"

Hearing Lu Xueqi's question, Su Han put down the teacup and smiled slightly.

"Having not seen Junior Sister for so long, naturally I was thinking of Senior Sister Xueqi..."

Saying so.

Su Han leaned slightly closer to Lu Xueqi. "Has Junior Sister missed Senior Brother?"

"Senior Brother..."

Lu Xueqi looked at Su Han approaching, forcefully suppressing the urge to run away, her eyes filled with nervousness.

And seeing Lu Xueqi's nervous appearance, Su Han burst out laughing.

"Alright, Junior Sister, I won't tease you anymore."

A moment later, he looked up at Lu Xueqi, his gaze filled with concern and anticipation. "Senior Sister Xueqi, as for why I came this time..."

"First, I wanted to see you."

"Senior Brother..." Lu Xueqi pursed her lips.

Su Han didn't mind, continuing with a smile, "As for the second reason, I wanted to ask you how the Taishang Sword Canon I taught you is coming along?"

"Are there any parts you don't understand?"

Lu Xueqi slightly lowered her head, her waterfall-like long hair sliding down in front of her, adding a touch of softness.

Hearing Su Han's question, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and responded softly.

"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. The Taishang Sword Canon has now achieved a small success, reaching the third layer..."

After speaking, she also picked up the teacup, her movements gentle and elegant.

Then, with her cherry lips slightly parted, she took a small sip of tea. Every movement she made exuded a cold and noble grace, as if she were a Fairy who had descended to the mortal world, untouched by worldly affairs.

Although she was in the secular world, she maintained a subtle distance from it.

Only after putting down the teacup did she speak again.

"However, there are still many shortcomings."

"I was planning to personally ask for guidance after Senior Brother returned. Since Senior Brother is here, then I won't be polite?"

Setting aside the fact that Lu Xueqi cultivating the Taishang Sword Canon could increase Su Han's Luck and enhance his strength.

Simply based on his relationship with Lu Xueqi, Su Han had no hesitation in guiding her.

Therefore, he naturally didn't hesitate.

Su Han immediately said.

"Senior Sister Xueqi, why be polite with Senior Brother?"

"If there's anything you don't understand, just ask."

Lu Xueqi nodded slightly, a hint of gratitude flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Saying this, Lu Xueqi picked up the book containing the Taishang Sword Canon with a look of confusion.

Opening to a certain page, she said to Su Han:

"Senior Brother, there is a stance in the third layer of the Taishang Sword Canon whose fierceness I have grasped somewhat..."

"But when circulating Spirit Energy, it always feels a bit sluggish, making it difficult to unleash the sword's full potential."

"I wonder what the reason is?"

Su Han looked at the elegant handwriting in the book, easily recognizing that it was written by Lu Xueqi herself.

Moreover, the corners of the book were slightly creased, indicating that it was frequently read.

Su Han looked at this scene, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"As expected of Senior Sister Xueqi, I truly didn't misjudge her!"

Then he turned his gaze to the sword stance Lu Xueqi was pointing to.

After a moment of thought, he slowly said, "This sword stance requires extremely high control over Spirit Energy. You need to condense the Spirit Energy in your Meridians like silk, guiding it to the sword body as if directing your own arm, only then can you perform it smoothly."

Saying so.

Su Han walked to Lu Xueqi's side.

"I'll use Spirit Energy to guide you and give you a demonstration."

"Follow my Spirit Energy, and try to slow down the sword moves first, using your intent to guide the Spirit Energy."

"Feel the path of the Spirit Energy flowing through the sword body, and gradually increase the speed once you are familiar with it."

And Lu Xueqi looked at Su Han's actions, her pupils instantly constricted slightly, becoming incredibly nervous.

"S-S-S... Senior Brother, you... I~"
