Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"In just a few years, Junior Brother Zhou has become close friends with Li Hanlin, and has completely forgotten about me, his senior sister. He even didn't come to say goodbye to me when he left the Bronze Palace."

Zhou Yiqiao had not taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a gentle female voice coming from his ear.

When Zhou Yiqiao heard the voice, he turned around and saw Senior Sister Qiu Yutong standing not far away with a half-smile on her face.

His heart tightened and he quickly explained.

"Sister Qiu, I didn't mean to leave without saying goodbye. It's just that when I went to look for you earlier, your friend said that you were in seclusion, and I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't go to look for you."

Qiu Yutong waved her hand gently and smiled.

"Junior brother, what are you talking about? I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous?"

The smile on her face gradually faded and her tone became serious.

"Junior Brother Zhou, do you still remember what I promised you?"

Zhou Yiqiao was slightly startled, then he remembered something and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

"Senior Sister, are you talking about taking me to see Senior Brother Xu Hanchang?"

Qiu Yutong nodded and said seriously.

"Yes, I did promise you that day that as soon as Senior Brother Xu Hanchang came back, I would take you to see him."

"Now that he has returned, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

A warm feeling surged in Zhou Yiqiao's heart. He bowed to Qiu Yutong and expressed his gratitude.

"Sister, thank you, I..."

Qiu Yutong waved to interrupt his politeness and smiled.

"Okay, Junior Brother, there's no need to do this."

"Sister, I am helping you like this because I was asked by the eldest lady. There is no need to thank you between us."

"Senior Brother Xu Hanchang should be at the Tingyu Pavilion on the main peak now. Let's go there now."

Qiu Yutong nodded slightly, then took Zhou Yiqiao to the teleportation formation closest to the Bronze Palace.

The main peak of Qinjian Villa is very far away from the Bronze Palace. If the two of them were to go there by themselves, it would take a lot of effort. Using the teleportation formation could save a lot of time.

The two stood on the teleportation array, and with a flash of light, their figures disappeared from the spot.

When he appeared again, he had arrived at a teleportation point near the main peak.

After coming out of the teleportation point, Qiu Yutong took out a small and exquisite flying boat and invited Zhou Yiqiao to board it together.

As the magic weapon slowly rose into the air, the two flew towards the "Tingyu Pavilion" on the main peak.

Tingyuxuan is located halfway up the main peak. It has a quiet environment and is a famous gathering place in Qinjian Villa.

Although this place is elegant, because it is located on the main peak, it is usually deserted except for a small number of disciples or distinguished guests who are qualified to enter.

At this moment, the area around Tingyuxuan is extremely quiet. Only the occasional chirping of birds and the gurgling sound of water in the distant mountain stream add a bit of vitality to this quiet place.

The flying boat landed steadily on the open space in front of Tingyu Pavilion, and Qiu Yutong and Zhou Yiqiao got off one after another.

The Tingyuxuan building in front of us has a simple and elegant architecture, with carved beams and painted buildings exuding a otherworldly atmosphere. It is surrounded by lush bamboo forests, like a fairyland isolated from the world.

"Brother, follow me."

Qiu Yutong said softly, and took the lead in stepping into the door of Tingyuxuan.

Inside Tingyu Pavilion, a young man in a green shirt was playing chess with another man.

The man had a handsome face, and there was an otherworldly temperament between his brows.

His eyes were deep, as if containing endless wisdom and power. He was the true number one among the younger generation of Qinjian Villa, Xu Hanchang.

The man who was playing chess with Xu Hanchang was dressed in black, with a stern face and a bit of unruly look between his brows.

His eyes were as sharp as knives, and his whole body exuded an indescribable majesty and domineering aura. He was none other than the former crown prince of Daxuantian, Luo Chen, who had met Zhou Yiqiao once in the past.

The chess game between the two was coming to an end. Xu Hanchang was holding a chess piece, thinking about his next move.

Luo Chen sat aside with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about winning or losing.

The arrival of Qiu Yutong and Zhou Yiqiao did not disturb the two of them. They stood quietly aside, waiting for the game to end.

Finally, Xu Hanchang put down the chess piece in his hand, smiled slightly, and said.

"Brother Luo Chen, I lost this game of chess."

Luo Chen shook his head slightly and said.

"Brother Xu, you are too modest. You are a superb chess player. I just won half a piece by luck."

The two smiled at each other, and then turned their attention to Qiu Yutong and Zhou Yiqiao.

The moment Xu Hanchang saw Zhou Yiqiao, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, which then turned into a gentle smile.

He stood up and slowly walked towards the two of them, his tone somewhat cordial.

"Junior Sister Qiu, this must be the Junior Brother Zhou Yiqiao you often mentioned, right? He is indeed a handsome man with an extraordinary temperament."

Zhou Yiqiao was obviously stunned, wondering why Xu Hanchang pretended not to know him.

But he did not think about it too much. Instead, he followed Xu Hanchang's instructions, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully.

"Brother Xu, thank you for your compliment. I am Zhou Yiqiao, and have heard of your great name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

Xu Hanchang patted Zhou Yiqiao's shoulder gently and said with a smile.

"You don't have to be polite, Junior Brother. You and I are from the same sect, and we should support each other in the future."

"I heard from the eldest lady that you practice diligently and have a very high level of understanding. In time, you will be the first contributor to resolving the rebellion of the great elder."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly spoke humbly.

"Brother, you are too kind. I am just lucky. I have ruined the good deeds of the Great Elder one after another, and I moved to the Great Elder by accident."

"Although the sect's internal troubles have been resolved, the external threats have not yet subsided. We still need you, brother, to lead us through the difficulties."

Xu Hanchang smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Qiu Yutong.

"Junior Sister Qiu, I know you came here to bring Junior Brother Zhou to see me."

"Since the mission has been accomplished, you can go and do your work first. I will talk to Junior Brother Zhou privately about the rest."

Xu Hanchang's tone was calm, and he cleverly guided the direction of the following conversation.

Hearing this, Qiu Yutong understood what he meant, smiled slightly, and said.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore."

"Junior Brother Zhou, if you need anything, feel free to contact me."

After saying that, she bowed slightly to the three people in the courtyard, turned around and left Tingyu Pavilion gracefully.

With Qiu Yutong's departure, the atmosphere in Tingyuxuan seemed to change subtly.

The gentle smile on Xu Hanchang's face instantly became brighter, and his eyes flashed with kindness and eagerness that were difficult to conceal.

He pulled Zhou Yiqiao's hand and said with a smile.

"When Brother Zhou came to my Qinjian Villa as a hostage, I heard the news. However, I have been busy with trivial matters in recent years and have not been able to return to the villa. I am really ashamed that I failed to meet Brother Zhou in advance."
