Chapter 485 - An Old Friend

For a moment, Ziyun’er did not understand why he was so anxious suddenly and asked, “What’s wrong, Lord?” Xiao Chen said anxiously, “There is no time to explain now, Qingluan, hurry!”

Qingluan never saw him with such anxiety and did not ask much. She immediately arched her hands, saying, “Don’t worry about it, Lord, I’ll get people to go after Empress Huangfu now.” Then she moved and quickly went outside.

After a while, Xiao Chen then settled down a bit. Ziyun’er poured him a cup of tea and asked softly, “What happened, Lord?”

Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at the wound on the left shoulder. Any previous wound will heal automatically even if it was big, leaving no trace, but this time there was a scar on the shoulder. He said, “Xuanxu Zi will definitely go hurt her.”

Ziyun’er froze, the teacup in her hand almost slipped, and said, “But Xuanxu Zi no longer belongs to Immortals’ League. Why would he hurt us?” Xiao Chen shook his head and frowned. “You don’t understand, because of this, now he has no more worries.”

At this moment, Xiao Chen had completely understood, because Bai Susu, the Immortals’ League would no longer do harm to him in the light, but they would definitely not let him go so easily, they would definitely let him be removed in secret, instead of under the name of Immortals’ League.

That day on Wuyue Peak, for an unknown reason, Xuanxu Zi was determined to kill Xin’er, and now that he was not in Immortals ‘League anymore, it would only be more convenient for him. So his first kill would be Xin’er, the second would be himself, and the next would be everyone around him. This person was indeed bloodthirsty.

Ziyun’er also suddenly got it. She frowned and said angrily, “This Immortals’ League is so two-faced, in the light it’s one thing and then another in the back. It’s really hateful!”

Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed. “As Gui Xian said, he doesn’t have enough strength now, he doesn’t have enough power, so these people will be unbridled, but now it’s good that the Immortals’ League is not involved. At least he doesn’t have to worry about those numerous underlings.”

Somehow, he had a very bad feeling, that he would have a lot of enemies in the future. The Immortals’ League, Order of the Divine Fire and Mo Clan from the so-called Orthodox Paths are just short-term bashing. His real powerful enemy in the future would be that guy named Feng You.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen frowned deeply. “This person named Feng You seems to know many things about himself. Is he really just as simple as an Elder in Dark Shadow Hall? The origin of this person is very suspicious. In any case, he must raise his cultivation as soon as possible to cope with various future problems. He asked, “Right, where’re the other people? Brother Yi Tong?”

Ziyun’er also put away her feelings, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lord. Everyone else is okay now, Mister Yi Tong, Mister None-flower get along well with Altar Master Su. Yesterday when they saw Lord’s injury got better, they went drinking together.”

“Is that so…” Xiao Chen nodded slightly and smiled. “Although Su Lianyue is of the devil sect, she should be the same as None-flower Dust, whose idea about the difference of devil and the orthodox path is not as clear-cut as his. Whoever she can drink together with is a friend.

“Ziyun’er, help me up, I want to go out for a walk.”

Although Xiao Chen had recovered much from his injury, he still felt very stiff, and even walking on the ground was a bit too much. Ziyun’er smiled and said, “Okay.” She helped him out of bed carefully now and slowly walked out.

The courtyard was full of fallen petals, with a small pond, and a few narcissuses blooming by the pool. The breeze blew with the fragrance of flowers, and the petals of the tree fell on the shoulders of the two by the wind. After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen felt more comfortable and not as depressed as before.

After walking in the yard, Xiao Chen’s body was not as stiff as when he first got up, but his left arm was still a bit inflexible and did not have much strength. The two then walked out of the courtyard. The scenery of Blue-water Altar was quite quiet. It was in the middle of summer, however, it was not sweltering, and there was a hint of coolness in the air, which was much cooler than other places in the North Continent.

“Actually, the Lord doesn’t have to worry too much. One day, those people dare not come to mess with the Lord again. When that day comes, we’ll walk so leisurely in the court every day and watch the moments of the sky, wouldn’t it be nice?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “You’re right.” Although his face was smiling, he was still deeply worried in his heart. Even if those people no longer come to provoke him, he still had to find his master to solve the thousands-years mystery. When else could he be strolling so leisurely?

“Although life is short, I don’t insist on becoming an Immortal in the future. I just want to see the liveliness in all the capitals through the seasons. That’s all I wish for. To live freely and stand aloof from worldly affairs. However, to do that, I have to put down everything, but how easy is that?”

When they talked, they suddenly heard the sound of flutes coming from far away, and the sound varied between high and low, which was like stream water hitting onto rocks with a certain elegance. In this valley, it sounded relatively charming. They followed the sound and reached a hillside. They saw a small stone pavilion, surrounded by red fences, and three people were sitting in the pavilion.

Two of them were drinking and toasting at each other. Naturally, it was the two alcoholics, None-flower Dust and Yi Tong, and the person who played the flute was Su Lianyue. Her face was slightly flushed and she seemed to be a little drunk. Her ten fingers pressed lightly on the flute holes and her wide sleeves were fluttering, which made her look very charming.

After a song, both None-flower Dust and Yi Tong applauded, smiled and said, “In life, we only know the meaning of wine. This time to hear the wonderful music of the fairy is far better than ten jars of good wines. ”

Su Lianyue giggled, making the sleeves flutter, and looking more charming and pleasant. She smiled and said, “No, if you talk about the rhythm, I’m not that good, as compared to Mister Xiao’s zither music, I’m way far off from that.”

Yi Tong lifted his head and laughed. “Speaking Mister Xiao, he has arrived. Mister Xiao, will you not come up for two drinks?” At the end, he looked at Xiao Chen who was below.

Ziyun’er smiled and said, “You two alcoholics. Don’t think about it. The Lord’s body is just better now, so he can’t drink.”

“My wine only makes the heart sad but never hurts the body. Mister Xiao, what do you say?” Su Lianyue said with a graceful smile and looked at Xiao Chen as well. Xiao Chen saw that her watery and seductive eyes, with a hint of drunkenness on her face, and he felt she was very charmed. He smiled and said then, “Since the Miss has invited, I had no choice but to drink.”

Ziyun’er pulled his sleeves and frowned. “Don’t, Sister Bai has specifically exhorted before she leaves that we can’t let you drink. Don’t you listen to Sister Bai’s words anymore?”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Just two small drinks, it’s okay.” As he spoke, he had walked to the pavilion and sat down. There were flower gardens outside the pavilion. Most of them are precious flowers such as beautiful tears and drunken concubines. They were glamorous yet elegant.

Su Lianyue chuckled, held the White Jade jug, and slowly poured it into the sapphire cup. The wine was poured into the bottle, and it was as clear as a mountain spring, without the smell of wine, but with a slight fragrance.

“Mister, please.” Su Lianyue slowly raised the wine glass in front of him. Xiao Chen took it with both hands and smiled gently. “I have troubled the Miss.” He then drank the wine. The wine was not spicy, but with a touch of sweetness as it entered the mouth.

When Xiao Chen looked at Su Lianyue again, Xiao Chen could not help but feel a bit of pity. The wine was sweet with seven parts and three parts bitter, and he felt a bit grievance after drinking.

Su Lianyue gently smiled and said, “This is Xiangfei Tears. Can the taste be justified?”

“Xiangfei Tears?” Xiao Chen has never been heard of this wine before. Yi Tong smiled and said, “Come again.”

At present, the four of them were drinking wine in the fragrant breeze, laughing and joking and Su Lianyue was also very good at talking. When it came to the situation of the world, she was no less of a man. However, with topics on Fort Raksasa, Dark Shadow Hall, and Bloodied Fiend, these Great Devil Sects, she always avoided talking, pushed the cup with a smile, and switched the subject.

After a few rounds of wine, Su Lianyue’s cheeks were redder and she was slightly drunk, but she looked more and more charming. Yi Tong wanted to toast again, but she shook her hands, saying, “No, I’ve had too much. If I drank more, I would be making a fool out of myself.”

“You really should stop there.”

At this moment, a cold and emotionless voice of a man came from outside the pavilion, and the atmosphere was immediately destroyed. Su Lianyue frowned. This moment, she seemed to be awake, and immediately took another drink. She said coldly, “In this world, only my sister can control me. Who do you think you are?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen and Yi Tong felt a little embarrassed. Only None-flower Dust was still drinking, as if nothing had happened. Xiao Chen turned around and couldn’t help but be stunned. The man turned out to be Leng Ningfeng of Wuwang Wind Cloud City before, who was the former Junior Brother of Yu Yifeng, and the man behind Leng Ningfeng was…

“It’s you!” the two said in unison.

The woman behind Leng Ningfeng was in fluttering white clothes, and her face was like still water, expressionless. It was Mu Chengxue. Xiao Chen did not expect to meet her here. After the Wuwang Wind Cloud City incident, Leng Ningfeng then took her away and he never heard from her again. He never expected to meet her here after two years.

“Miss Mu, why are you here?”

Xiao Chen was a little agitated, and at this moment, many memories emerged out of his mind. When he could not practice back then, it was all because she had sacrificed three parts of her Life Span to break open the Spiritual Meridian seal for him. If he had not met her, he would have been expelled from the Xiao family, and be straying in the Human World. It could be said that she had changed his Destiny.

“You… Why are you here?” Mu Chengxue saw him, slightly surprised, came up and asked, “How’s Woodblock Yu?”

“Brother Yifeng…” Xiao Chen thought of the last incident at Corpse Refinery Sect, and could not help but feel a bit bitter, then he slightly smiled and said, “He went to Kunlun.”

“He went to Kunlun huh…” Mu Chengxue muttered to herself as if there was a little wave in her heart upon her hearing Yu Yifeng’s leaving at this moment.

Xiao Chen looked at Leng Ningfeng and he could not help but recall the situation when he went to Wuwang Wind Cloud City with Xiaoyue and his party. At that time, the 18-member party was packed with the top-notched people of the sects of that time, but they were all trapped by Mu Luo in the back mountain and almost could not leave.

In fact, for Mu Chengxue’s brother Mu Luo, Xiao Chen really admired him. This person was able to bind an Earth Spiritual Meridian and become lord of a city, while the other sects did not dare to mess with him. He even had the ability to attract cultivators to fight for him and create favorable conditions for opening the Blood Soul Formation. In those 100 years, he had also created Mu Family Village illusory land that even he could not distinguish, and made Mu Chengxue half alive, but no one could see through it.

All of the above, both the brains and strength, Xiao Chen was way beneath Mu Luo. Unfortunately, this man was willing to sacrifice himself in order to resurrect his sister. If he was still alive, he must be a top gun character in this troubled world.

“Oh yeah, Miss Mu, why are you here?” Xiao Chen put away these fragmented memories and asked Mu Chengxue.

Hearing this, Mu Chengxue’s eyes suddenly became extremely cold, as if with endless hatred, and she said coldly, “Soul-consuming Evil Flower.”
