Chapter 1236: Believe It or Not
Qi Xuansu asked, “Since you’ve been trapped here for so long, why didn’t you go to Lingshan?”
“Do you think I didn’t want to?” Qi Jiaoyao said indignantly. “I only found out that Lingshan was sealed off after I got in. I simply couldn’t enter. That means others can’t get in either. The person you mentioned who got there first can’t be the Earthly Preceptor, right?”
Qi Xuansu thought to himself, Of course, it was someone from the Yao family. Just because you can’t get in doesn’t mean they can’t.
Qi Jiaoyao observed Qi Xuansu’s expression and said, “It seems you didn’t know that Lingshan was sealed either. So are you still going?”
“Well, I’m unwilling to just give up like that. We have to go and take a look. What if we can get in?” Qi Xuansu asked.
Qi Jiaoyao said, “Then we can travel together.”
Qi Xuansu did not refuse, believing that a Daoist was always more trustworthy than an Ancient Witch.
The two of them fell into silence, with only a faint trace of blood-red moonlight shining in from outside.
However, Qi Xuansu still could not completely relax and wanted to probe for information, so he made conversation out of nothing. “Sage Qi’s name is Qi Jiaozheng, and you’re Qi Jiaoyao. Why isn’t Qi Muyu called Qi Jiaoyu?”
Qi Jiaoyao retorted, “Why are you called Qi Xuansu and not Qi Xuandu or Qi Yongsu?”
Qi Xuansu was left speechless.
That said, he had not always been called Qi Xuansu. He had been named by his master upon graduation. Back when he was at the Wanxiang Daoist Palace, he had another name, something starting with “Yong,” without a last name.
