After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Qingyun Sect——

Lu Xingchen, who had been practicing sword skills for a whole day, was exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep as if all his strength had been drained.

As a result...he had that dream again, a dream he had no idea how many times he had had...

There was a white, furry fox in the dream.

Its snow-white fur is like a soft cloud, fluffy and smooth.

The fox's eyes are like two shining gems, sparkling with mysterious and charming light in the dark.

Lu Xingchen stretched out his hand cautiously and tried to touch the beautiful fox.

The fox did not dodge, but instead gently leaned its head against his palm. The warm touch instantly spread throughout Lu Xingchen's body, making his heart melt.

He gently stroked the fox's back, feeling its soft fur sliding through his fingers, the delicate touch was like silky satin.

The fox squinted its eyes comfortably and let out a soft whimpering sound. The sound was very pleasant to hear, as if expressing its inner joy.

Lu Xingchen took out a piece of carefully prepared pastry from his pocket and put it to the fox's mouth.

The fox first sniffed it with its nose, then opened its small mouth, took a light bite, and chewed it with relish. After eating, it licked Lu Xingchen's fingers with its tongue.

Lu Xingchen was amused by its cute appearance. He held the fox in his arms and rocked it gently. The fox curled up in his arms obediently, rubbing its head against his chest from time to time. The intimate behavior was full of dependence and trust.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Xingchen felt a wet touch on his face. It turned out that the fox was licking his cheek with its tongue. The warm and wet feeling woke him up from his dream.

Lu Xingchen subconsciously touched his cheek and found it was dry, not wet.

For some reason, an indescribable sense of loss welled up in his heart.

I don’t know...Xiaoxue, is it okay?

Xiaoxue was a little fox he picked up when he was playing in the snow when he was five years old.

At that time, he had not yet entered the Qingyun Sect and was still living happily with his parents.

He still remembered that the day he picked up the little fox, it snowed heavily, as if it was going to bury the entire world in this white world.

The sky and the earth were covered in silver white. Snowflakes fluttered down, covering the world with a thick white velvet blanket.

Just as he was running and playing happily in the snow, a slight movement caught his attention.

When he got closer, he found the poor little fox.

Its body was covered with wounds, and the criss-crossing wounds were shocking.

It was lying in the snow, dying. Its fur, which should have been soft and smooth, was now disheveled and covered in blood.

The blood flowing from the wounds on its body stained the white snow, like a stain of crimson ink splashed on a flawless canvas, which was shocking to the sight.

The little fox curled up into a ball and shivered, as if it was trying to find the last bit of warmth in this snowy and icy place.

Its eyes were closed tightly, and its breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. Every labored gasp was accompanied by a tremor in its body. Its tiny body curled up into a tiny ball, looking extremely pitiful.

Lu Xingchen took it home with heartache, and with the careful help of his parents, he cleaned its wounds and gave it meticulous care.

Because he picked it up in the snow, he named the little fox "Xiaoxue".

As the days passed, Xiaoxue's injuries gradually improved, and it became more and more lively, and stayed inseparable from him.

Wherever he went, Xiaoxue followed, her furry tail wagging happily.

At that time, Lu Xingchen naively thought that he would always be with the little fox, or rather...the little fox would be with him.

However, when he was six years old, Xiaoxue suddenly disappeared one night.

He searched all the places where they had played together, but still couldn't find it.

He was heartbroken and cried bitterly. It was the first time he experienced separation... Of course, he would experience it many times... Many times...

For a period of time afterwards, whenever I missed the little fox, I would still go to the place where I picked it up. I would do nothing but stand there quietly. After a while, I would go back with a heart full of loss.

But soon, he couldn't even go to that place...

Because a year later, he entered Qingyun Sect because of his "natural sword body", and met the annoying He Lanzhi in the sect.

Now, many years later, he still thinks of Xiaoxue often.

How he wished that one day, when he turned around, he could see Xiaoxue running towards him happily again. Of course, he knew clearly that this was impossible.

Perhaps, Xiaoxue has already lived a free life in some unknown place; or perhaps, it is still silently missing its former owner.

He prayed silently in his heart, wishing Xiaoxue was well, no matter where she was.

Lu Xingchen shook his head, but... it has been hundreds of years, his... parents have... left him, and Xiaoxue is just an ordinary fox. No matter what, it should be... gone now, right?

Lu Xingchen sighed softly, as if he wanted to spit out the heavy haze in his heart and force himself not to think about those sad things.

He picked up a headband at random, and fiddled with it nimbly with his slender fingers, half-tying his inky hair. Then he stood up and changed into his daily clothes in an orderly manner.

He reached out and grasped the sword that had been with him for many years. The sword body emitted a faint cold light. He forced a smile at the sword and then left the room.

He was practicing the fifth move of the Qingfeng Sword Technique - Qingfeng Luoyan, but he had never fully comprehended it before.

But in recent days, he seemed to have a flash of enlightenment, so recently he has been trying to hold on to this fleeting inspiration.

Therefore, the best solution was to find disciples from other peaks to compete in sword skills.

On the one hand, you can test the results of your understanding in actual combat, and on the other hand, you can gain more inspiration from discussions with others.

Just as Lu Xingchen was about to fly away from Cangjian Peak to head to Duanjian Peak to challenge disciples, he saw Gu Qingze hurriedly flying towards them on his sword.

"Senior Brother Lu!"

When Gu Qingze saw Lu Xingchen, his eyes suddenly lit up. What is this? This is effortless.

Originally, he planned to find Senior Brother Bingling first and hand over the "Sanshenghua" to him.

Unexpectedly, Senior Brother Bing Ling went into seclusion for a short period of time. He made inquiries from various sources and found out that he would not be able to come out for another two days, so the matter of the "San Sheng Hua" had to be put on hold for the time being.

So, he went to the Mission Hall and explained the details of the mission he had taken on to his senior brothers and sisters in the Mission Hall in detail, and then received one hundred spirit stones and thirty stubborn seaweeds.

Although these rewards were nothing to him, they were the reward he deserved for completing the task. Besides, even a small amount is still meat, so he gladly accepted them.

The only thing left was Senior Brother Lu's matter. Just when Gu Qingze was about to go find Senior Brother Lu and hand him the things that Senior Brother Helan had prepared for him, he happened to meet him. Now, he didn't have to look for him anymore.

"Junior Brother Gu, long time no see. May I ask...do you have anything to ask me?"

Lu Xingchen looked at Gu Qingze with shining eyes and asked with some confusion.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingze coughed lightly, tried hard to control his slightly excited emotions, and carefully considered the words he was about to say.

"I... do have something to talk to Senior Brother Lu about, but it's not urgent. If Senior Brother Lu has something to do, I can wait until Senior Brother Lu comes back."

Lu Xingchen shook his head and calmly changed the direction of his flying sword: "It just so happens...My business is not very urgent, so I'd better listen to Junior Brother's business first."

As he spoke, a gentle smile like the spring breeze appeared on his face, and he looked at Gu Qingze softly:

"That's perfect. I can use this time to catch up with Junior Brother Gu. After all... I haven't seen Junior Brother Gu for a while."
