Chapter 372

Seeing that figure, Long Chen’s body instantly stiffened, and he even forgot to breathe .

“Meng… Qi…”

The person who had come had willowy eyebrows, eyes like limpid autumn waters, and shapely lips . A waterfall of black hair cascaded down to her waist . She seemed like an immortal who had descended amongst mortals, filled with a transcendent, untainted charm . That woman was Meng Qi .

Meng Qi looked at Long Chen with eyes filled with delight . Two scarlet clouds appeared on her otherwise jade-like face .

In the blink of an eye, they had been separated for over a year . Long Chen had grown far too much during that time . Meng Qi could sense the berserk energy hidden inside his body .

It was as if Long Chen was a dormant volcano . Normally, you wouldn’t be able to see anything, but once it erupted, it could exterminate the world .

The thing that made her heart tremble the most was that in this year, all the immaturity on Long Chen’s face had disappeared, replaced by a determined smile .

“Long Chen, it’s been a while . ”

A bit of panic appeared in Meng Qi’s eyes . She had opened her mouth and had had no idea what to say, in the end saying a simple, standard greeting .

“You must be senior sister Meng Qi? Sister really is beautiful . ” Chu Yao now spoke out . Even as a woman, she greatly admired Meng Qi’s beauty .

Meng Qi possessed a unique mannerism that was able to make all living things admire her, making people unconsciously form a good opinion of her .

“You must be junior sister Chu Yao? I’ve heard of you . ” Facing Long Chen, Meng Qi was a bit nervous, but facing Chu Yao, she was much more relaxed .

Chu Yao was delighted . Long Chen had already told her about Meng Qi, and now seeing that Meng Qi didn’t have any negative reaction to her allowed her to sigh in relief .

She had just been about to reply when a voice rang out, “Meng Qi, do you know her?”

Only now did Long Chen realize there was a long-haired man behind Meng Qi . With his delicate features, he truly was extremely handsome . But it seemed he was displeased that Meng Qi was talking to them .

“Oh, Long Chen? You are that Long Chen?” That man’s expression suddenly turned cold .

“Correct, I am Long Chen . And you would be Feng Xiao-zi?” Long Chen became slightly irritated because he had guessed this person’s ident.i.ty .

“Arrogant . Do you think the name of this junior pavilion master can be spoken by you?” The long-haired man’s expression sunk .

As Long Chen had thought, this fellow was Feng Xiao-zi . His fury immediately soared . If his hand wasn’t still injured, he would have definitely given him an especially big slap in the face .

Although the flesh of his hand had grown out at this time, this new flesh was still tender like a baby’s . If he did slap him, it wouldn’t cause any damage to Feng Xiao-zi, but it would definitely mangle his flesh .

“Junior pavilion master, Long Chen is not a member of the Wind Spirit Pavilion, and he doesn’t need to call you by your t.i.tle,” interrupted Lu Fang-er .

Feng Xiao-zi was the pavilion master’s son, and as a person, he was arrogant and aloof, stubborn and self-opinionated . He enjoyed using his status to suppress others . In the entire Wind Spirit Pavilion, other than those people who deliberately sucked up to him, there was not a single person who liked running into him .

Lu Fang-er was Meng Qi’s good sister, and the two of them were even closer than real sisters . In order to give Meng Qi a good impression, Feng Xiao-zi didn’t wish to offend Lu Fang-er .

As for Lu Fang-er, because Feng Xiao-zi constantly pestered Meng Qi, causing her to be constantly distressed, she naturally had nothing nice to say to him .

Although Feng Xiao-zi hated Lu Fang-er, he could only put on a ‘magnanimous and open-minded’ act for the sake of Meng Qi . And so he had always endured .

But now Lu Fang-er’s words caused his expression to sink . If this had just been in front of Meng Qi, that would have been one thing . But now she was contradicting him in front of this many outsiders . Many of those distant spectators were experts who were secretly watching, immediately putting him on the spot .

Meng Qi suddenly interjected, “Long Chen is my friend . I hope the junior pavilion master won’t make things hard on him, or everyone might end up affected . ”

Her words were extremely flat, but it was obvious she was taking Long Chen’s side, which caused Feng Xiao-zi to become even more infuriated .

Feng Xiao-zi glared at Long Chen without saying anything . He had placed all his hatred on Long Chen now .

Long Chen sighed in relief inside when he saw Meng Qi take his side, and he was filled with delight . This feeling was much better than giving Feng Xiao-zi a slap in the face .

“Sister Chu Yao, how did you end up here together?” Meng Qi amicably asked Chu Yao .

Chu Yao was an amiable person with a warm temperament, which was similar to Meng Qi . The two of their temperaments were very similar, and so it was easy for Meng Qi to form a good opinion of her .

“It’s because I noticed this Seven Heartsea Cherry-Apple tree-heart . ” Chu Yao already felt that Meng Qi was one of them, and so she didn’t hide anything .

Both Meng Qi and Feng Xiao-zi were surprised by that ancient tree . There were many kinds of tree-hearts, but this particular one was definitely top grade . It was absolutely priceless .

“I’ve taken quite the liking to this tree-heart . How about you give it to me? You can ask for any price,” suddenly said Feng Xiao-zi .

Chu Yao’s expression immediately changed . This tree-heart was a must-have treasure for her cultivation . How could it be given to others? She turned to look at Long Chen .
