My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 51: The Pavilion Nearest the Water Gets the Moonlight First, Tianji Pavilion

“Oh? Didn’t you say that you would not take another master? So why have you done so now?”

After they had moved away from Lu Xunxian’s residence, Xu Ruoshan looked at Luo Qianxue and asked with a knowing smile.

At that moment, Luo Qianxue put on a shy, maidenly expression.

“Master, I merely realized that Senior Lu is exceptionally gifted. Besides, a master for a day is like a father for life. Since it was Master’s command, I could only accept it.”

How could Xu Ruoshan fail to see through his disciple’s thoughts? In truth, he would have been delighted to become even closer to Lu Xunxian through marriage ties.

But he also knew that an existence like Lu Xunxian would likely not be moved so easily. Moreover, Lu Xunxian already had a son and a daughter. Although he did not know where the children’s mother was or what condition she was in, she was presumably still alive.

Thinking of this, Xu Ruoshan spoke to remind her.

“I will not stop you from doing what you wish, but I must remind you of one thing. Senior Lu already has a son and a daughter. As for Senior Lu’s Dao Companion, even I do not know where she is or what her situation is.”

At those words, Luo Qianxue’s expression turned serious. Reason briefly suppressed her infatuation, and she asked,

“Then how long has Senior Lu been at our Myriad Dao Academy?”

Because Luo Qianxue had been in Seclusion earlier, she had no idea that her master and the instructors of the entire academy had all been thoroughly overwhelmed by Lu Xunxian.

“For four years.”

“If she has not come in four years, then she is probably no longer among the living. Besides, those two children are still young, and they are so adorable. They must be lacking a mother’s love. I think I have a duty to take care of them.”

Her infatuation once again gained the upper hand, and Luo Qianxue spoke with absolute seriousness.

Seeing this, Xu Ruoshan said nothing further. He believed that his disciple knew her own limits.

“So be it. We shall do as you say. I am about to enter Seclusion. The day I emerge will be the day of my Ascension.”

“Yes, Master.”

Luo Qianxue cupped her hands and watched as her master departed.

After he had gone far away, Luo Qianxue turned once more toward Lu Xunxian’s residence, and a look of absolute determination appeared on her face. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“Lu Xunxian, I, Luo Qianxue, am definitely going to win you over.”

Since it was still early, Luo Qianxue decided to head back first and grow closer to Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.

Very soon, Luo Qianxue returned. When Lu Xunxian sensed her presence, his brows furrowed slightly, unable to understand why she had come back after leaving.

“Master.”

“Do you need my guidance now?”

Lu Xunxian opened his eyes, somewhat puzzled. Naturally, he could see where Luo Qianxue’s current shortcomings lay. With only a little guidance from him, he could help her break through into the Saint King Realm.

Moreover, Luo Qianxue was only three hundred years old at present, so she was still within the age limit for the Tiansheng Grand Tournament. She would likely take part in it.

But to Lu Xunxian’s surprise, Luo Qianxue shook her head and turned to look in the direction of Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.

“Master, I think your two children are extremely adorable. May I play with them?”

At those words, Lu Xunxian frowned slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he did not refuse.

“You may.”

Only after receiving Lu Xunxian’s permission did Luo Qianxue walk over to Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.

At that moment, the two of them were playing hide-and-seek with Wangcai and Yuyu, the name Lu Qingyun had given the White Jade Horse. When Luo Qianxue approached, they stopped their game and looked at her curiously.

“Who are you, big sister?”

“As for me, I am called Luo Qianxue. I am your father’s disciple, and I came specially to play with you.”

Luo Qianxue crouched down and smiled at Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun.

After all, she was a woman who intended to become their stepmother, so naturally she had to leave them with a good impression.

When the two little ones heard that Luo Qianxue had come to play with them, they immediately jumped up.

“Hooray! Sister Qianxue is here to play with us!”

At present, Lu Xiaoyao and Lu Qingyun were still very innocent. As soon as they heard that Luo Qianxue was there to play with them, they pulled her into their game.

Not far away, Lu Xunxian watched the harmonious scene of Luo Qianxue and the children getting along merrily together, and he could not help feeling somewhat at ease inside.

Perhaps this was not so bad either?

But very quickly, he shook his head. He should observe a while longer. This matter required caution, and he could not act rashly.

Chengtian City, Chengtian Province.

After spending some time on the road, Wu Wuji finally arrived in Chengtian City with Feng Qingyu.

As one of the Three Great Merchant Guilds of Tiansheng Continent, the main headquarters of Tianji Pavilion was naturally located in Chengtian City, just like the Myriad Treasures Pavilion.

Before long, they entered Tianji Pavilion.

The moment they stepped inside, a middle-aged man in a black robe, wearing round dark glasses and sporting a mustache, walked up to them.

“Honored guests, how may I assist you?”

“Someone of your rank is not qualified to handle this. Have one of your Stewards come out.”

Wu Wuji had come to Tianji Pavilion several times before, so he naturally knew that the Agent before him could not sell information of too high a level. If they wanted to purchase intelligence on the level of Fu Qitian, they would need at least a Steward-level figure.

Seeing that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, the Agent also knew that this was not something he could handle. He therefore quickly went down to summon a Steward.

Soon enough, a Steward dressed in a gray robe and likewise wearing round dark glasses came before them with a smile.

“Honored guests, how may I assist you?”

“Let us go to a private room first. This is not a place for such matters.”

Wu Wuji glanced around, then strode into the deeper parts of Tianji Pavilion.

He was a regular patron of Tianji Pavilion and naturally knew where the private rooms were. Before long, he was seated inside one of them.

After they had all taken their seats, Wu Wuji got straight to the point.

“We want to purchase Fu Qitian’s current location.”

The moment Wu Wuji finished speaking, the Steward before them immediately grew excited. This was a major transaction.

The Steward rubbed his fingers together and said,

“Esteemed guest, Fu Qitian is known to everyone across Tiansheng Continent. If you wish to purchase information on him, I am afraid it will not come cheaply.”

“Money is naturally not a problem. Do you think our Qingfeng Sacred Land cannot afford it?”

Wu Wuji frowned slightly as he spoke.

Upon hearing that they were from Qingfeng Sacred Land, the Steward’s smile deepened at once, and he hurriedly said,

“I understand. I shall summon a Diviner immediately.”

With that, the Steward hurried out of the private room to fetch the Diviner.

After all, Fu Qitian was no ordinary person. On top of that, he had not shown himself for some years. If they wanted to learn where he was, they would need to make use of a Diviner’s power.

After the Steward left, Feng Qingyu frowned slightly and asked with some hesitation,

“Fifth Elder, will this not cost a little too much?”

“Do not worry. Even if Fu Qitian has recovered his cultivation, he is still only at the Peak of the Saint Monarch Realm. Even if we use a Diviner to calculate his location, it will cost no more than ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Crystals.”

“Your master can still afford that much.”

After Wu Wuji finished speaking, the Steward from earlier returned, leading an old man inside. In the old man’s hand was a Bagua Compass. He was precisely one of Tianji Pavilion’s Diviners.
