Chapter 1447: Reminiscence and Sharing

After Lu Ruyan retreated with her cronies, the hubbub died down. That said, numerous surprised gazes still lingered on Li Luo and Jiang Qing'e. Jiang Qing'e's reputation in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda had been resounding for the past few months. On top of that, her third-grade Transcendent cultivation was eye-catching. That coupled with her otherworldly temperament and appearance had made her the secret topic of discussion among basically everyone. There were even some self-confident and exceptional talents with outstanding backgrounds who had attempted to get closer to her to earn her favor and improve their relationship. Unfortunately, regardless of what methods they employed, they failed to earn even a moment of her attention, which had greatly frustrated them.

Now that they heard of her relationship to Li Luo, they finally understood.

This flower already possessed an owner.

In addition, they weren't just dating, they were already married!

Numerous men felt a deep sourness in their hearts. How could Li Luo have been favored by this exceptional woman? Their jealous eyes turned towards him, filled with questions and scrutiny. Wasn't looks all that this brat had going for him? In terms of talent... a second-grade Transcendent? Huh? He was this young and yet had such exceptional talent. It was shocking. Their gazes gradually turned bitter. What they had hoped to see was someone who could not match up with her. Only then could they feel a warped sense of satisfaction in their hearts, but the truth was uncomfortable.

Damn it! This guy was amazing too! Although being a second-grade Transcendent didn't make him unbeatable in the Celestial Mirror Pagoda, it demonstrated Li Luo's potential and worth. Given time, he could not be underestimated, even if his third Duke Bergfried wasn't a Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried. Even Diwu Mingxuan only had two Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfrieds!

If he was able to exceed expectations and obtain yet another Ten-Pillar Golden Duke Bergfried, he would be able to match up to Jiang Qing'e as a third-grade Transcendent!

In the end, the envious gazes dispersed. They realized that even in this gathering of the cream of the crop, those who could match Li Luo were few and far between.

Li Luo himself had sensed the changing looks towards him, and he felt a hint of superiority. It looked as though even Jiang Qing'e's blazing light could not overshadow him completely anymore. His efforts had not gone to waste.

As he relished in his temporary limelight, Jiang Qing'e retracted her resonant power and approached Li Luo. A gentle fragrance wafted over and a smile appeared on her gorgeous face. "Not bad, you've regained your second-grade cultivation. It looks like the time spent in seclusion was not wasted."

Li Luo looked at the girl before him, who overflowed with a divine aura like a goddess, and grinned. "It's been half a year since we last saw each other. Did you miss me?"

Jiang Qing'e glared at him. Ever since their relationship had taken a step forward, this brat seemed to have gained newfound courage. If it were before, he would never have dared to talk like this.

Jiang Qing'e nodded. "I did."

Li Luo was a little surprised. He hadn't expected her to reply to his teasing so bluntly. After all, she would have completely ignored him in the past. He licked his lips and took in the sight of her, a heat rising within his heart. However, she immediately looked past him, focusing on Lu Qing'er.

"Junior Qing'er, it's been a while."

Lu Qing'er replied lightly, "It has been many years, Senior Jiang. Your radiance continues to dazzle everyone. I have to thank you for your assistance."

When Jiang Qing'e sensed the flowing chill coming from her, a look of surprise flickered through her eyes. The ice resonant power she was emitting was incomparably pure. This meant that her ice resonance was of a high grade, which meant that Lu Qing'er had advanced yet again.

"Junior Qing'er, you are far too courteous. President Yu always took good care of us in the Xia Kingdom, and seeing that you're travelling with Li Luo yet again, I naturally could not just stand by," Jiang Qing'e continued.

Lu Qing'er calmly replied, "Senior Jiang, you are mistaken. I'm merely joining the Astral Sage College's squad."

She then nodded before lowering her eyes slightly and making her way towards the back of the group.

Jiang Qing'e was taken aback by her actions. Unlike that blockhead Li Luo, she had known that Lu Qing'er had feelings for Li Luo since their time in the Astral Sage College. In fact, Lu Qing'er had once confronted her over this. Thinking back, her reaction was kind of cute. So how had things changed to the point that she even seemed distant from Li Luo?

Jiang Qing'e turned her head and glanced suspiciously at him. "What? The young mistress of Golden Dragon Mountain no longer fancies you?"

Li Luo didn't know whether to laugh or to cry as he replied helplessly, "I only told her of the relationship between us."

Jiang Qing'e fell silent before slowly saying, "That's a little too cruel. House Luolan doesn't lack empty rooms."

"Stop with the superfluous words...." Li Luo unhappily replied.

She then changed the topic. "How did you end up with the Astral Sage College's squad?"

Li Luo then explained the Astral Sage College's situation to her.

"I had not expected their situation to worsen." Jiang Qing'e frowned upon hearing this. She did have some affection for the Astral Sage College, and furthermore, when House Luolan was in danger, she had borrowed their might to frighten their opponents. Only then were her opponents put on guard, unwilling to deal with her directly.

Otherwise, any of those Dukes could have made a move on her before she had matured, and she would have been hard-pressed to survive.

"It's a pity I couldn't represent the Astral Sage College. If I could, we would be together," Jiang Qing'e said with a hint of pity.

She had officially joined the Hallowed Coruscation Ancient College as a student to cultivate and was not in the same set of circumstances as Li Luo. If she insisted on joining him, she would bring unnecessary trouble to them.

"It's alright. I alone should be enough. After all, the battles between the outer divine continent sage colleges aren't as intense as the ancient colleges," Li Luo said with a smile.

Jiang Qing'e sighed. "That said, the rewards fought over by the outer divine continents are a bit too small. When it comes to it, the amount of Celestial Mirror Sand you can obtain will not be enough. Knowing you, you're definitely looking for a perfect breakthrough."

"It seems you understand me best." Li Luo beamed.

Jiang Qing'e glanced at him with an amused look in her deep, golden eyes. "So I suppose your goal will be the Sand Seizing Battles?"

Li Luo nodded solemnly. "I'm hoping you will carry me along, Sister Qing'e."

The Sand Seizing Battles had the winner-takes-it-all rule. It was incredibly merciless, but the higher the stakes, the better the reward. With how small the outer divine continents’ allocation was, even if Li Luo contributed the most, the amount of Celestial Mirror Sand he would receive would be nowhere near sufficient. At this point in time, he needed a teammate with abundant capital.

Jiang Qing'e understood this point and nodded slightly. It looked like she would have to work a little harder in the Domain Traversal Battles and help Li Luo out a little.

"Oh, yes." Jiang Qing'e suddenly piped up.

"I've managed to obtain some information on the Greater Acquired Resonance Godly Forging Art."

Li Luo immediately snapped to attention and his eyes lit up. Seeing his reaction caused her to smile sweetly.

"As expected, I found some information on it."
