Chapter 34

Pleading for recommendations...

------------------------

"Oh..." Akizuki responded, not continuing to ask, as it would seem like prying if he did.

"Little junior brother, have you got that medicine these few days..." Qitian pulled Buzheng aside and asked in a low voice.

"What medicine?" Buzheng asked, a bit puzzled.

"It's the one that makes you last longer in bed." Qitian, after much hesitation, decided to put aside his pride and whispered very softly.

"No, that medicine requires some special ingredients, which are always scarce. What do you need it for? Do you have a martial partner?" Buzheng shook his head and asked.

A martial partner is generally a romantic partner, a polite way to refer to a couple. Since Buzheng and Qitian were not very familiar with each other, they would naturally use more direct terms like "woman" or "lover."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have a martial partner, it's for drinking at a flower party." Qitian continued in a low voice, grinning lecherously.

"Flower party?" Buzheng was puzzled. He had almost never heard of such a term, and in his small village, he had no chance to come across such words. In the Qingyun Sword Sect, he was always busy collecting herbs and refining elixirs, so he had few opportunities to encounter such things.

"You don't understand, this is what men should do. You're still young, you'll understand when you grow up." Qitian smiled, only then remembering that Buzheng was just fifteen, still a pure youth.

"Oh..." Buzheng nodded, not asking why he would understand later, since he was told he would understand later, so he would wait.

At this moment, the square seemed to become much livelier. Most people were used to setting off at this time, not that they disliked getting up early, but there were many things to prepare, and they needed to give themselves some time.

"Hey, Qitian, why are you pulling Little Junior Brother? Are you trying to snatch my stuff? Let me tell you, I've got Little Junior Brother's medicine covered." Zhao Zhuyin's voice came before he appeared, and unlike Qitian, he was not shy, shouting loudly.

"Covered my ass, Little Junior Brother can give the medicine to whoever he wants." Qitian said angrily, about to lose his temper, but suddenly calmed down, straightened his clothes, and looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, pretending to be indifferent.

"Little punk!"

Zhao Zhuyin cursed inwardly, but he could understand Qitian's behavior. Among the disciples he brought, there was a presence like a fairy, and even if he knew it was unattainable, he would still act like a gentleman in front of the fairy.

The arrival of this fairy not only made Qitian pretend to be indifferent but also made the male disciples of Qingniu Peak excited, with some even rushing to the fairy's side.

At the same time, the attention of the people nearby was also drawn to this fairy. No matter where this fairy went, she would become the center of attention, which was a common occurrence. Because of this, Chu Xiong just waved his hand and did not stop the new Qingniu Peak disciple who rushed over.

At this moment, apart from the senior disciples, it seemed that only Buzheng showed no change, perhaps because he did not even look at the fairy.

"Qin Shuang, I didn't expect we would be together." The new Qingniu Peak disciple said excitedly in front of the fairy.

Qin Shuang?

Isn't she the girl from the trio who competed on Qingyun Dao? The one Buzheng directly surpassed, and then tried to find information about Buzheng but couldn't find anything.

Of course, Buzheng did not know this. He now saw Qin Shuang's face but had no impression of her, as at the time, his eyes were only on the wages. He just thought the girl was very beautiful, but not as beautiful as his wife.

At this moment, if someone knew Buzheng's thoughts, they would surely curse him, saying he should bring out his wife for a comparison, and that he would die if he didn't stop boasting.

However, Buzheng naturally would not say this, and no one knew. Because many disciples were immune to Qin Shuang's beauty, Buzheng's behavior was not unique and did not stand out.

"Little Junior Brother, hello!" Qin Shuang said, her voice slow and beautiful, and she was right next to Buzheng when she said this.

"Ah?" Buzheng was stunned and blurted out, "Hello..."

"..."

Qin Shuang was stunned, and so were the others, who were temporarily at a loss.

"Haha, Little Junior Brother, the Qin Junior Sister was not calling you, but this kid from Qingniu Peak, who also surnames Bu." Zhao Zhuyin patted Buzheng's shoulder and laughed.

At this moment, Qin Shuang and the others understood. It turned out this kid just happened to have the same surname, which was a funny misunderstanding.

"Ah, so that's how it is. No wonder I couldn't remember who she was." Buzheng scratched his head, embarrassed.

"You can't remember who she is? She's Qin Shuang Junior Sister, haven't you heard of her?" Zhao Zhuyin thought Buzheng was pretending and called him out.

"Qin Shuang..." Buzheng thought for a while, shook his head, "I haven't heard of her. Where I come from, I'm the only one, so I'm quite ignorant."

Tsk, what a pretense, trying to get Qin Shuang's attention, huh?

Most people thought this about Buzheng, believing he was lying. He must have heard of Qin Shuang's name, and saying he hadn't was a tactic.

"Hey, Little Junior Brother, since we're so familiar, what peak are you from, and what's your status?" Zhao Zhuyin asked.

"I'm at the Alchemy Peak, a miscellaneous disciple." Buzheng did not intend to hide it, as there was no need, and it would be more awkward if he were exposed.

"What, a miscellaneous disciple?"

A miscellaneous disciple's status immediately made others look down on Buzheng, thinking, "I thought he was someone important. Seeing how the senior brother treated him so well, it turns out he's just a miscellaneous disciple."

No wonder he hadn't heard of Qin Shuang; a miscellaneous disciple had no right to know about Qin Shuang!

Originally, Buzheng and others would have considered him a potential rival, though they thought the possibility was low. Now, they had completely ignored him.

"Being a miscellaneous disciple is fine. As long as you work hard, you can become a regular disciple. But, why haven't I heard of this Alchemy Peak? Does our sect even have an Alchemy Peak?" Akizuki asked, puzzled.

Most Qingyun Sword Sect disciples thought there was no such place as the Alchemy Peak. Otherwise, why would they always seek others for alchemy, never their own sect's Alchemy Peak, even for ordinary elixirs?

"That's right, what Alchemy Peak? I've been in the sect for a few years and have never heard of such a place. If you don't want to say, you don't have to, but don't lie." The Little Junior Brother said, seemingly not very fond of Buzheng, perhaps because they shared the same surname.
