C185 (1/2)
On the street, Lin Yue was stunned to see the twelve wisps of smoke being dispersed by the wind.
The scholar continued to recite a poem along the way, and as he walked forward, he had already reached the heart of the street. He slowly stopped, turned around, smiled at Lin Yue, and said: ”Little brother, can you invite this old man to have a drink?”
Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, he was shocked, immediately came down from the roof, clasped his hands at the scholar, and said respectfully: ”Thank you senior for saving me, junior Lin Yue will repay you in the future!”
The scholar shook his head in displeasure and said, ”You brat, I'll make you treat me to a drink now. You said that you would repay me in the future. You are cheating!”
Lin Yue scratched his head in embarrassment and said: ”This junior did not bring any wine nor money with me.”
”So it's like that. He's even poorer than me. What a waste. Then …” ”If fate wills it, see you again.” The scholar's face was full of pity as he shook his head before walking off into the distance.
Lin Yue was stunned, this scholar was extremely unrestrained, all the way to and fro, as though he was a god leaving and leaving.
Seeing that the scholar was about to disappear, Lin Yue suddenly became alarmed, and immediately shouted out: ”Senior, I wonder if you could tell me your name, in the future, I will definitely return the favor!”
The scholar did not turn his head and only waved his hand a few times. His voice was light as he said, ”There's no need to say much. We will meet again. When that time comes, you must treat me to a drink!”
With that, the figure turned around the corner and disappeared under the moonlight.
Lin Yue blankly stared at the empty long street. He was shocked and also felt that it was quite unbelievable.
This scholar's actions and actions were hard to fathom. His final sentence, that they would meet again, made Lin Yue ponder deeply, and went to an unknown place to meet.
These kind of people, even if they were to step all over the Pan'gu Continent, they would not see another one.
The night wind was soft and cold.
Lin Yue suddenly remembered that Zheng Wan had been thrown out by him, her expression changed as she thought that it was really bad, she immediately shook her head and put this matter aside, and quickly rushed to the bustling area ahead.
Therefore, Zheng Wan was safe and sound, there were no accomplices to the assassination.
Upon seeing Lin Yue's return, Zheng Wan immediately burst into tears, threw herself into Lin Yue's embrace and tightly hugged his neck, not willing to let go. She was afraid that the moment she let go, Lin Yue would send her away.
Lin Yue comforted his as he lifted his hand to wipe away the crystal clear tears on Zheng Wan's face and said warmly: ”If I can't protect my woman, what other martial arts do I, Lin Yue, practice my divine body for? My most important cultivation goal, is to protect those who love me. However, if I abandon you and run away on my own, then in this life, I'm afraid that my heart will no longer pursue you.
Zheng Wan raised her head, her eyes filled with tears as she looked at Lin Yue, and said softly: ”But in my heart, I hope that you can continue living well. I also hope that you can be protected from any harm, for you to do this for me, how can I be at ease?”
Lin Yue was silent. This kind of thing, after a while, he shook his head and said, ”No matter what, I am just doing my duty. You are still too weak.
After he finished speaking, Lin Yue held Zheng Wan's hand, looked at the bright lights in front of them and said, ”The night is too late, let's go back.”
Zheng Wan nodded and followed behind Lin Yue.
However, a glint flashed in her eyes, as she thought to herself: ”It's all because I'm too weak, that's why hubby can't focus on facing enemies. I must properly cultivate, or at least have the power to protect myself!”
But it was limited to talent, Zheng Wan's Martial Soul was a spirit plant, they were not good at attacking, which meant, her fighting strength in the martial way, would definitely not be too high, even if she were to level up, her fighting strength was still very weak.
Zheng Wan followed Lin Yue and walked along, pondering about ways to improve himself along the way. After returning to the inn, Lin Yue went back to cultivate by sitting cross-legged and she too returned to his room. He sat on the bedside and thought about it silently.
In the darkness, there was light shining through the panes, causing the ground to turn yellow, like a sunset.
Looking at the moonlight on the ground, he could see that the wind was blowing. The branches swayed in the wind, messing up the moonlight. The light on the ground curled up like flames.
”Flames?”
Zheng Wan suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.
She raised her hand and looked at her slender, jade-like fingers. The lush, tender fingers were sparkling and translucent.
Zheng Wan closed her eyes slightly. The Genuine Essence began to move and a faint blue flame started to burn at the tip of her fingers. This flame was very small, but it was very pure, like a blue stream of light.
