My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 971 Jade Pendant

In the twenty-third level of the tribulation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue were involved in the background of an ancient dynasty. During this period, Zhou Xing became the son of a powerful prime minister, while Ling Xue became a maid in the prime minister's house.

The early morning sunlight shines through the exquisite window lattice and onto the bluestone slab in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The golden light spots sway gently with the breeze. Zhou Xing, the current Prime Minister, was dressed in brocade clothes and jade robes. He was lazily leaning on a finely crafted soft couch, playing with a jade pendant in his hand. His eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about some profound issue.

Ling Xue, as a maid in the mansion, dressed in simple green clothes, was busy preparing morning tea for Zhou Xing. Her movements were skillful and light, as if she was afraid of disturbing the peaceful morning. Her long hair was simply tied back, revealing a delicate face, with a hint of unknown perseverance between her eyebrows.

"Ling Xue, are you ready for morning tea?" Zhou Xing's voice was gentle and distant. His eyes moved away from the jade pendant and fell on Ling Xue.

"It's ready, young master." Ling Xue replied softly, handed a cup of hot tea to Zhou Xing, then stepped back to the side, standing quietly, waiting for the next order.

Zhou Xing took the tea cup and took a sip. The aroma of tea swirled in his mouth, and his brows relaxed slightly. He knew that Ling Xue's tea-making skills were unparalleled in the mansion. He put down the teacup and his eyes fell on Ling Xue again, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"You are always so decent in what you do, Ling Xue." Zhou Xing said, with a hint of imperceptible tenderness in his voice.

Ling Xue smiled slightly, but did not speak. She just lowered her head silently and continued to complete her work. She knew that in this strict identity world, she was just an insignificant maid, while Zhou Xing was the superior Prime Minister. But deep down in her heart, she also has her own pride and persistence, even under such a status gap.

As time passed, Zhou Xing began to notice that Ling Xue was more than just an ordinary maid, and her wisdom and abilities were gradually revealed. In their daily interactions, the relationship between the two is also quietly changing, from the initial master-servant relationship to mutual respect, and even at certain moments, they can feel the deep friendship between them.

In this difficult time of overcoming the tribulation, Zhou Xing and Ling Xue not only have to face external challenges, but also deal with inner conflicts and emotions. They know that only by working together can they overcome this hurdle and continue their journey to ascension.

In the twenty-fourth difficulty of overcoming the tribulation, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing were involved in a brand new world, a modern urban fantasy. Here, their identity changes drastically.

Ling Xue became a university professor. She had long, glossy black hair, which was always simply tied into a ponytail and swayed gently as she walked. Her face is clear and beautiful, and there is an undoubted majesty between her brows, but at the same time, there is always a gentle smile on her lips, which makes people feel friendly. She wore a decent suit jacket, a simple shirt and trousers, which made her look professional yet feminine.

Zhou Xingze became a college student with fluffy black hair and eyes full of youthful vitality and desire for knowledge. He was wearing the casual clothes common on campus, a T-shirt with a rock band pattern printed on it, a pair of jeans, and a pair of sneakers. He exuded a youthful atmosphere.

During this difficult time, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing's daily lives were filled with scenes of love and learning. During the day, they met in the university's lecture hall. Ling Xue stood on the podium, teaching complex theories with her infectious voice, while Zhou Xing sat in a corner of the classroom, listening attentively, nodding or taking notes from time to time. During the break, Zhou Xinghui stepped forward and asked Ling Xue some academic questions. The two exchanged ideas in the ocean of knowledge, and their respect and appreciation for each other grew silently.

In the evening, they walked together on the campus paths, talking about the day's gains and their hopes for the future. The moonlight shone on them, adding a romantic atmosphere to the teacher-student relationship. They would study materials together in a corner of the library, or discuss the latest academic trends in a coffee shop. Each other's presence became an indispensable part of each other's lives.

However, they all knew in their hearts that all this was just a part of overcoming the tribulation, a test of their emotions and cultivation. They need to stay awake during this process and stick to their hearts in order to get through this together and continue their journey to ascension.

In this modern urban fantasy, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing not only have to deal with academic challenges, but also face inner fluctuations. Their relationship was tested under the pressure of the real world, but they supported each other, grew together, and finally found their balance point in this twenty-fourth hurdle.

During the twenty-second difficulty of overcoming the tribulation, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of the Hao Qing Sect were involved in a confusing vortex of time and space. In an instant, they found themselves in an antique wine shop. Surrounded by wooden structures, the smell of pine and sandalwood is mixed, and wind chimes hang under the eaves, tinkling in the wind.

Senior Sister Ling Xue wore a blue satin dress, a belt with exquisite embroidery around her waist, and a hairpin on her head. She sat dignifiedly and elegantly behind the counter, becoming the proprietress of this ancient wine shop. There was a hint of imperceptible perseverance in her eyes. Although she was in an unknown environment, her behavior still maintained a calm and unhurried temperament.

Junior Brother Zhou Xing put on a simple blue cloth gown and a bamboo hat, and became a waiter in the wine shop. He was busy walking back and forth in the wine shop, either pouring wine for guests or carrying wine jars. Although his clothes were soaked with sweat, he always had a faint smile on his face, appearing diligent and loyal.

There are several wooden tables and chairs placed in the wine shop. The guests are sitting or standing, some are toasting and drinking, and some are chatting in low voices. The aroma of wine overflowed and laughter filled the air, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Senior Sister Ling Xue skillfully poured wine for the customers behind the counter, and occasionally chatted with regular customers. The wisdom and humor revealed in her words made the atmosphere in the wine shop more lively.

Although Junior Brother Zhou Xing is just a waiter, he is polite and takes good care of every guest. His hard work and humility win the praise of the guests. In this world of overcoming tribulations, although they are forced to play roles, the tacit understanding and cooperation between the two is as seamless as their cooperation in practice.

As time goes by, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing gradually adapt to this kind of life, and their daily interactions in the wine shop become more and more natural, as if they are really a pair of experienced business owners and waiters. However, they know in their hearts that all this is just part of overcoming the tribulation, and they must always remain vigilant and prepare for the next test.

In the twenty-third stage of overcoming the tribulation, Junior Brother Zhou Xing and Senior Sister Ling Xue were placed in the prime minister's palace of an ancient dynasty. The scene here is full of antique atmosphere, surrounded by a quiet courtyard, with birds singing, flowers fragrant, rockeries and flowing water, giving people a feeling of being far away from the hustle and bustle. Junior Brother Zhou Xing is now a handsome prime minister, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe and a jade pendant around his waist, showing an extraordinary temperament in his steps. His face was handsome, and there was a sense of calmness and confidence between his brows, as if he was a young nobleman of noble birth. His life is full of luxury and honor. He is attended by dedicated people every day and enjoys endless glory and wealth.

Senior Sister Lingxue transformed into a maid, wearing plain clothes. Although her status was humble, her eyes were still firm and fierce. She was busy in the Prime Minister's Mansion, serving Junior Brother Zhou Xing and other people in the Mansion. Her life is simple and ordinary. She gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and is very busy.

In this difficult time of overcoming the tribulation, Junior Brother Zhou Xing and Senior Sister Ling Xue need to face many challenges and tests together. In the process of supporting each other and working together, they gradually enhanced each other's understanding and trust.

In an alien world surrounded by immortal energy and rich spiritual energy, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of the Hao Qing Sect face an unprecedented challenge - to overcome eighty-one tribulations together. These difficulties test their cultivation, wisdom and feelings for each other. After experiencing many life and death tests, they finally reached the twenty-fourth level.

In this level, the two of them are in a completely unfamiliar world. Ling Xue transforms into a beautiful university professor, while Zhou Xing becomes a curious college student. In this modern urban context, they must play their respective roles well while continuing to practice and keep their minds pure.

Professor Ling Xue has an alluring appearance, and her wisdom and gentleness make her highly respected on campus. In her class, students always pay attention, not only because of her profound knowledge, but also because of her calming temperament. As for Zhou Xing, as a college student, he has a strong desire for knowledge and is always curious about all kinds of knowledge. His energetic and unruly personality also make him a famous figure on campus.

In this world, their daily lives are filled with scenes of love life and study. Professor Ling Xue often saw Zhou Xing immersed in studying in the library. She would walk over and quietly ask about his study progress and give him guidance. Zhou Xingze would discuss academic issues with Ling Xue after class. The two would swim in the ocean of knowledge, inspire each other, and grow together.

As time goes by, their lives in this world become more and more stable, but they do not forget their mission. After studying, they will discuss their cultivation experiences together and help each other solve their doubts about cultivation. During this process, their relationship also grew quietly, gradually transforming from respect and trust between teachers and students into deep emotions.

However, the road to overcoming the disaster is never smooth sailing. In this world, they also encountered various challenges and temptations. Sometimes they are involved in academic battles or face human greed and jealousy. But in the face of these challenges, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing always adhered to their inner purity and trust in each other. They used wisdom and courage to overcome one difficulty after another.

In the end, after countless days and nights of study and practice, they successfully passed the twenty-fourth tribulation. When they stood on the ascension platform again and looked back on this dreamlike journey, they knew that not only had their cultivation level been improved, but the emotions between them had also been elevated to a new level.

In the remaining difficulties in overcoming the disaster, Ling Xue and Zhou Xing moved forward hand in hand more firmly, and their love and wisdom became their most powerful weapons. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, they have confidence because they know that as long as they work together, there is nothing they can't overcome.

One morning, the sun shone through the window lattice in the courtyard. Junior Brother Zhou Xing was handling official business in the study, while Senior Sister Ling Xue was polishing ink for him. Junior Brother Zhou Xing looked at the official document in his hand and frowned, as if he had encountered some difficulty. Seeing this, Senior Sister Lingxue asked softly: "Sir, is there anything I can do to help?"

Junior Brother Zhou Xing looked up at her, a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and said, "Ling Xue, please help me read this official document. I always feel that something is wrong." Senior Sister Ling Xue took the official document and read it carefully. Then she discovered the problem. After pointing out the problem, she put forward her own suggestions.

After hearing this, Junior Brother Zhou Xing suddenly realized and said with emotion: "Ling Xue, you are really my right-hand man." Senior Sister Ling Xue smiled slightly and said: "Young Master is too generous, I just tried my best."

In this way, they supported each other and grew together during this difficult time. And this experience will become an unforgettable memory on their way to ascension.

Su Waner's heart was deeply touched, and she knew that Murong Yi's heart contained tenderness that she had never touched. But she also knew that the identity difference and secular prejudice between them was an insurmountable gap.

Just then, a loyal guard found them and brought urgent news: the emperor was suddenly seriously ill, someone in the court took the opportunity to cause trouble, and the empire was in turmoil.

Murong Yi knew that he must go back immediately to stabilize the situation. He took a deep look at Su Waner, his eyes full of reluctance and determination: "Su Waner, I can't take you back, but I promise you, I will definitely come back to find you."

The sun shines through the gauze-like clouds, dappled with greenery. In this twenty-first level of tribulation world, Senior Sister Ling Xue and Junior Brother Zhou Xing of Hao Qing Sect changed their names to Lin Xue and Zhou Xing and became a pair of gardeners focusing on flowers, plants and trees.

Lin Xue, also known as Senior Sister Ling Xue, was wearing an elegant green bamboo dress with a plain white apron tied around her waist. Her hands were gentle but strong, and her fingertips seemed to contain the breath of life. Her eyes were focused and deep, as if she could see through every leaf's thoughts. Junior Brother Zhou Xing is wearing a bamboo hat and simple gray cloth clothes. His techniques are steady and delicate, and every pruning is just right, showing his deep understanding of the laws of plant growth.

Their garden shop is located in a peaceful countryside setting, surrounded by lush vegetation. In front of the shop is an open courtyard, filled with a variety of flowers and trees, from delicate peonies to tall pine trees, each of which grows exceptionally lush under the careful care of Lin Xue and Zhou Xing.
