Chapter 4 – A Wealth of Knowledge

The young girl arrived in a hurry.

Ye Tianyi heard that the senior brother was in trouble and immediately looked anxious.

At the same time, he didn't understand why, since there was a problem, they didn't go to the elders or the sect master, but came to find Lu Changsheng instead.

Lu Changsheng, however, remained calm, merely raising an eyebrow and saying, "Why is there a problem again? So troublesome!"

"???" Ye Tianyi was stunned.

After the girl explained the situation, she quietly watched Lu Changsheng, her face full of smiles, her eyes already glistening with tears.

The girl's name was Luo Qianling, the daughter of the sect master, and she often came here to follow Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng felt her gaze and said helplessly, "Junior sister, didn't you say the senior brother was in trouble?"

"Yes!"

"Then quickly bring him back!"

"He's already on his way, I came to tell you first!"

"I see!"

Lu Changsheng frowned, feeling helpless about this junior sister.

After all, she was the sect master's daughter, always drawing too much attention, which didn't match his low-key personality.

Taking on a bad reputation wasn't a big deal for him; at most, people would call him a wastrel or a good-for-nothing, which was harmless.

As long as he didn't cause trouble, no one would bother with a useless wastrel.

But if he got involved with the sect master's daughter, that would be a different story.

Thinking of this, he felt helpless.

Soon, several disciples helped a figure walk towards them.

The person being supported was Qingyun Peak's senior brother, Zhou Qingyu.

He was tall and handsome, and even when being supported, he exuded an aura of greatness.

"Senior brother!"

Ye Tianyi hurried forward, anxious, reaching out to check on him.

But Zhou Qingyu pushed him aside and went straight to Lu Changsheng.

"Junior brother, I'm in trouble again!"

"Don't worry!"

Lu Changsheng responded, helping the senior brother into the house, leaving Ye Tianyi standing there dumbfounded.

"What does this mean?" he asked Luo Qianling.

Luo Qianling replied, "Let senior brother Changsheng find the problem and heal him!"

"Him? Find the problem? Heal?" Ye Tianyi said, his brows furrowing tighter. "Isn't this nonsense? Senior brother must be out of his mind!"

He was about to rush into the house, unsure of what was happening, but just thinking about this junior brother made him feel unreliable.

Luo Qianling, however, was displeased, saying, "Every time it's senior brother Changsheng handling it, and there's never been a problem!"

"What do you mean every time?"

Ye Tianyi was taken aback. Could it be that he had wronged the junior brother?

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Could it be that the seemingly idle and lazy junior brother was actually a miraculous healer?

Just as he was thinking this, Lu Changsheng came out of the house, sighing from afar.

"Sigh, always making me worry. Can cultivation be rushed? If this peak didn't have me, it would fall apart sooner or later!"

He muttered as he walked into another room.

Ye Tianyi hurried to check, only to see Zhou Qingyu already sitting on the bed, his previously pale face looking much better.

"Senior brother, what exactly happened?"

"It's nothing, I just accidentally hurt myself while practicing sword intent, so I asked junior brother to take a look. Following his advice, I've almost recovered!"

Ye Tianyi exclaimed, "He even understands swordsmanship?"

Yesterday he helped the senior sister with formations, and today he's advising the senior brother on swordsmanship. Is this the junior brother he knows?

Zhou Qingyu thought for a moment and said, "He understands a bit, though not much!"

"And you still let him treat you?"

"He doesn't know much, but he's read a lot of books. Whenever there's a problem, he can always find a solution in the books!"

Ye Tianyi found it hard to believe.

Soon, Lu Changsheng came over with a book.

"Senior brother, I saw it in this book, and it's very similar to your problem!"

Before Zhou Qingyu could reach out, Ye Tianyi had already taken it and looked through it carefully, finding no issues.

According to the senior brother, it was almost a perfect solution.

"How did you know it was in this book?" Ye Tianyi asked.

Lu Changsheng replied, "I read books when I have nothing to do, and I happened to see it. When senior brother mentioned it, I remembered!"

Zhou Qingyu didn't say much, taking the book and flipping through it, nodding as he read, feeling that his problem had been perfectly addressed.

But as he continued, he found the pages blank.

"Where's the rest of the content?"

"I don't know, it was just these few pages when I found it!" Lu Changsheng explained.

Ye Tianyi also noticed that his fingers were blackened, seemingly stained with ink!

"This..."

"The weather has been humid lately, probably causing the ink to bleed!" Lu Changsheng explained, and the others didn't mind, though Ye Tianyi still felt something was off, but couldn't pinpoint what.

Soon, their attention turned to Zhou Qingyu.

As the senior brother of Qingyun Peak, he was exceptionally talented, not yet thirty and already at the ninth level of Condensing Yuan, close to Golden Elixir.

The sect valued him highly.

Among all the disciples in Cangzhou, he was a top-tier presence.

Moreover, he practiced swordsmanship and had comprehended the sixth level of sword intent, hailed as a once-in-a-century swordsmanship genius.

He was even known as the Little Sword Immortal of Cangyun.

After all, swordsmanship was difficult to cultivate; ordinary cultivators struggled to even get started, and reaching the second level was a lifetime achievement for many.

If one could comprehend the ninth level of sword intent, they might touch the legendary state of Sword Heart Clarity.

A dream pursued by countless sword cultivators throughout their lives.

No such remarkable person had ever emerged in the entire Yue Kingdom!

Zhou Qingyu was no exception. Besides cultivating, he constantly sought to understand swordsmanship, never pausing for a moment.

Day and night, he worked tirelessly, and even though Lu Changsheng stayed on this peak all the time, he only saw him twice a month.

And every time he came, it was to ask if he had seen any similar problems in the books, forcing him to make things up on the spot. This time, he almost got caught.

Seeing that there were no more problems, Lu Changsheng was about to leave the room.

Zhou Qingyu called out, "Junior brother!"

"What?"

"The Ning family has arrived, go handle it!"

"Alright, no problem!" Lu Changsheng replied and left the room.

But watching Zhou Qingyu seriously delve into his studies again, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Isn't swordsmanship something you can just do with your hands? Is it really that hard?"

He didn't understand.

Ye Tianyi stayed behind, wanting to have a good talk with the senior brother about the junior brother's issues.

After all, even if he was well-read and had insights, the foundation of a cultivator was still cultivation. Without cultivation, where would the power come from?

Luo Qianling chased after Lu Changsheng.

"Senior brother Changsheng, where are you going? Wait for me."

Seeing her catch up, Lu Changsheng asked, "Does junior sister Luo need something?"

"I don't need anything, I just want to chat with you!"

Luo Qianling said, her face showing a bit of shyness.

Lu Changsheng responded, "Then let's wait until I'm free, I have something to do now!"

"What do you have to do?"

"Senior brother just mentioned it, so I have to go to Cangyun City!"

"For what?"

Lu Changsheng replied, "There's quite a bit to do. Ning Yuxin has come to Cangyun City, and I need to meet her!"

"Ning Yuxin? The daughter of Cangzhou's wealthiest man?"

"Yes!"

Lu Changsheng confirmed.

Luo Qianling raised an eyebrow. The Flower Queen was one thing; she knew Lu Changsheng often went there.

But Ning Yuxin was the daughter of Cangzhou's wealthiest man. Her father had mentioned that the master of Qingyun Peak seemed to have a close relationship with this wealthy man and had once arranged a marriage for a disciple with Ning Yuxin!

"Why is she here? Could it be to discuss marriage?"

Luo Qianling felt a sense of crisis, just about to ask, but Lu Changsheng was already gone.

Even though he didn't say who, she was worried. What if the other party took a liking to Lu Changsheng?

"No, senior brother Changsheng, you can't go, let..."

Before she could finish, he was already gone, and Lu Changsheng had already reached outside the Cangyun Sect, heading towards Cangyun City.
