I Have a Golden Crow-Chapter 594 - 427 Shatang Mansion Newcomers_2
So elegant?
"Master Qing." Fu Jianzhou greeted respectfully.
Yang Qingqing raised an eyebrow slightly, giving Fu Jianzhou an up-and-down look: "You seem to be in good spirits."
"Yes, we're doing well." Fu Jianzhou smiled gently and nodded.
We?
Yang Qingqing seemed to catch the meaning, but said nothing, simply stepping up into the back compartment.
Du Yu blinked, looking up at the man: "You on doorman duty now?"
"Heh." Fu Jianzhou threw an arm around Du Yu's shoulders, locking him in a playful chokehold as they boarded the military craft.
"Hey! Trying to choke me out, huh?" Du Yu struggled, but couldn't pry his senior brother's arm off at all.
"You…" Du Yu was about to say something.
Fu Jianzhou smiled softly, his voice gentle: "Long time no see."
Du Yu: "Uh, long time no see."
"Fu Jianzhou" released his arm and sat down on one of the upright bench seats.
Du Yu scratched his head—if you don't have any observational skills, you really can't communicate with this Senior Brother at all.
The transition between man and woman was seamless, as if two souls were living inside the same body.
Hmm... actually kind of fun?
Du Yu sat down beside him, saying, "Demon Taming General?"
Fu Jianzhou smiled, as warm as ever: "Just got promoted recently."
From the tone, Du Yu confirmed this was the male personality.
Du Yu grinned: "Then you'd better pick up the pace. I'm almost at Great Demon Tamer·Great Success, and Shiwei's nearly at Minor Achievement, too."
Fu Jianzhou: "..."
"Hehe~" On the opposite seat, Yang Qingqing let out a soft laugh.
Because Master Qing had her head slightly lowered, her purple leaf conical hat brim obscured the upper half of her face.
The two disciples could only see the faint upward curve of the Immortal Master's lips.
Du Yu slung an arm around Senior Brother Fu's shoulders: "Hehe~ Master Qing is already at the peak of Demon Taming General, but you…"
Fu Jianzhou looked helpless: "Don't even mention it! That main barrier's got me stuck tight. I was starting to think my talent just stops here."
"No way, you're the Savior!" Du Yu teased. "Is it because Bai Lan keeps pestering you to play the flute every day, making you slack on your cultivation?"
Fu Jianzhou shot Du Yu a mock-glare, spat lightly, and muttered: "Get lost."
Du Yu: "..."
Damn~
This switching between male and female… who can handle that?
Yang Qingqing, rarely, consoled her disciple: "Compared to others, Jianzhou's cultivation speed is already pretty fast. He's not a Paper Crane Disciple, after all."
"Oh." Du Yu nodded.
Just so you know, ages and ages ago, Master Qing had already said Senior Brother Fu had hit the threshold.
Now it's already late November, and only now has Senior Brother reached Demon Taming General Level. You can see what kind of mess that threshold left him in…
As a Paper Crane Disciple himself, Du Yu didn't have a deep understanding of what a "threshold" really meant.
He could only faintly grasp it from the helpless expression on Senior Brother Fu's face.
In fact, not just Du Yu—even Lin Shiwei, Li Mengnan, and the others couldn't understand the suffering of ordinary cultivators.
Those who awakened their powers through the Burning Sun Golden Crow or by bearing the Mother of the Great Xia Demon Spirit Civilization·Kunlun Divine Tree Bark can only be called "the chosen ones."
Fu Jianzhou shook his head a little and snapped back to reality: "Congrats on your promotion, Master Qing."
As he spoke, Fu Jianzhou grinned: "Your cultivation speed is just way too fast."
Yang Qingqing nodded in full agreement.
Ever since meeting Du Yu, her good karma had come in absurd excess…
Just look at a recent example: a few days ago, the Tai Sui Thunder Bamboo actually took up residence in her body!
This is the sort of opportunity most people can't even dream of!
Yang Qingqing had been stuck at a threshold for a long time, and her fate could easily have become like Fu Jianzhou's—eternally struggling, gaining nothing.
But this trip to East Persia changed everything—the Tai Sui Thunder Bamboo just blasted through all her cultivation obstacles.
Threshold?
Forget the threshold—even the door itself could be split open by this bamboo!
"About cultivation…" Du Yu was struck by a thought, turning his head to look at Fu Jianzhou. "Senior Brother, you look like you're in fantastic shape lately, huh?"
Fu Jianzhou nodded: "I also have your song, 'To Bai Lan,' to thank."
"She really likes it. She gets your intentions, and understands your hopes for her."
Du Yu thought to himself—wow, that's a sin, considering the song was meant for Alice.
He waved his hands quickly: "The Shadow Gu Tower taught me that."
Not waiting for a response, Du Yu continued, "I left a house for you in the Sea Realm. If you ever want, you can move in anytime."
Fu Jianzhou was stunned: "Sea Realm?"
"Yep." Du Yu lowered his voice. "Senior Brother, your main cultivation is Water and Wood dual attribute, right?"
"That's right."
Du Yu: "The Sea Divine Tree·Shatang Tree is precisely Water and Wood dual attribute."
From the opposite seat, Yang Qingqing's voice came: "That's also why my cultivation moves so quickly."
"Before, your condition…" Du Yu trailed off, the implication clear. "And, the other Divine·Sea-devouring Dragon Turtle in the Sea Realm hasn't been subdued by me yet.
I was a bit worried the flute music would annoy the Dragon Turtle.
But now, it's all been sorted out.
If Senior Brother Fu wants a quiet place to stay or cultivate, you're welcome in the Sea Realm at any time.
That way, I can always use you—uh, I mean, get hold of you easily."
Fu Jianzhou was shocked: "Solved? Is it what I'm thinking?"
Du Yu shrugged: "Yep, the Ancient Demon Saint has acknowledged me as master."
Fu Jianzhou's jaw hung open: ???
Du Yu lifted his hand, propped Senior Brother Fu's chin, and helped him close his mouth.
"You're welcome anytime, Senior Brother." Du Yu grinned.
Fu Jianzhou just stared at Du Yu in a daze.
To him—in fact, to anyone in the world—a cultivation spot like that is the stuff of dreams!
