Chapter 622: Mr. Bai And The Scripture Pavilion (1/2)
“We’re both just people, so why are our lives so different? The Progenitor of Bloodlines placed three bloodlines inside of his sculpture, and if Fat Bro had gotten one of them, then my life would have changed. At that point, Fat Bro would have been able to turn around and suppress even that Autumnfrost Qing. Unfortunately, those three bloodlines have all already been taken. What a pity, what a pity,” the fatty mumbled.
“You better hurry up and search through the rest of the Scripture Pavilion, as more people will be coming since they’re all trying to prepare for The Hunt. Even a freak like Di Fa will come to the Daosource Sect to test his luck, so what do you think Autumnfrost Qing will do if he meets Di Fa? I’m really looking forward to that! I hope that Di Fa will give him a good beating!” The fatty’s imagination began to run wild.
This was not Lu Yin’s first time hearing the name Di Fa, and he seemed to be one of the top-notch powerhouses among the Bloodburn Realm’s younger generation. It sounded like he was a peak existence that truly towered above all others, and Lu Yin hoped that they would not bump into him.
When Lu Yin and Huang San returned to their previous location, they found that Sister Kui and the others were already there, and it was obvious from their expressions that they had not found anything either.
“Fatty, did you find that Pompom Pig bloodline?” one of the men called out teasingly.
The fatty ignored him and glanced around. He quickly realized that Yan Xiaojing was not back yet, and his expression dimmed.
“Oh! It seems our Fat Bro’s bloodline has advanced, and he doesn’t need to care about us anymore,” the man continued mocking.
Lu Yin was speechless. Did these people really like to make fun of others this much? It was quite annoying.
The fatty stood to one side and stayed quiet.
The man continued to mock Huang San a few more times, but he soon lost interest after the fatty refused to respond to anything. Then, he fell silent too.
After a few hours had passed, Autumnfrost Qing returned with Yan Xiaojing, and the fatty’s face changed when he looked over at the two of them.
Yan Xiaojing seemed to be acting a little bit more affectionately towards Autumnfrost Qing, and they were also standing much closer to one another than they had a few days before, to the extent where they were almost stuck together.
Lu Yin looked at the fatty sympathetically, as it was truly difficult to endure such a sight. He hoped that Huang San would not be overwhelmed and charge over to start a fight.
When Yan Xiaojing saw that the fatty had returned, she quickly created a bit more distance between herself and Autumnfrost Qing. Although she did not care about the fatty or even like him, they were still technically engaged.
Autumnfrost Qing did not mind her actions since he knew that Yan Xiaojing absolutely belonged to him. Although the woman could not be considered ravishing, she had a unique personality, and the Yan family’s development in recent years had a rather decent momentum. With Autumnfrost Qing’s status, he could not marry someone from a world Imprinter’s family, so he could only choose someone from an Imprinter’s clan. Thus, the Yan family was a decent choice for him.
Autumnfrost Qing and Yan Xiaojing weren’t the only ones who returned, as there was also another person silently following behind them. It was a man in white clothes.
Lu Yin’s eyes flickered when he saw the man, as he recognized him. Lu Yin and Huang San had bumped into this person once in the last three days, and it was precisely the person who had noticed Lu Yin’s domain.
“Let me introduce this person to you all. This is Mr. Bai from the War Martial Realm, and he will join us when we explore the Scripture Pavilion later,” Autumnfrost Qing explained.
Mr. Bai stepped forward and greeted everyone with a gentle smile. He had a soft expression, and there was an indescribable charm to his smile that gave off a natural warmth.
Sister Kui and the others hurried to welcome him.
“Sorry to trouble everyone, and thank you, Brother Autumnfrost, for accepting me. I can’t thank you enough,” Mr. Bai said to Autumnfrost Qing.
Autumnfrost Qing smiled. “Brother Bai is too courteous. There’s too much distance between the War Martial Realm and Bloodburn Realm, and we should try to get closer.”
“Brother Autumnfrost is right. The strength of the Bloodburn Realm’s bloodlines is well-known, and Brother Autumnfrost’s Sky Overlord bloodline has a renowned reputation. Even I, from the distant War Martial Realm, have heard of it, and I have always wanted to expand my knowledge. I never thought that my wishes would come true, so thank you, Brother Autumnfrost.” Mr. Bai smiled.
Autumnfrost Qing laughed and chatted with Mr. Bai in a very animated manner.
Lu Yin watched their interactions strangely, as this Autumnfrost Qing probably had not realized what Mr. Bai’s true strength was. Otherwise, he definitely would not be able to smile so carefreely around this person, given his personality.
Also, this person’s surname was Bai, so did he have a primeval surname? Or was it just a coincidence?
“Eh, isn’t that rascal the person who we met from the Martial Progenitor Realm? What’s he doing here?” The fatty had only just discovered Mr. Bai’s existence as his attention had been entirely focused on Yan Xiaojing since she had arrived.
At that moment, Yan Xiaojing walked over and spoke quietly to the fatty. “It would be best for you if you head back. The Scripture Pavilion is too dangerous. Even Brother Autumnfrost isn’t fully confident, and it’s rumored that there are people from the Fifth Mainland in there. Many people have already died in the Scripture Pavilion.”
Huang San gazed passionately at Yan Xiaojing. “Xiaojing, you do care about me?”
Lu Yin rolled his eyes.
Yan Xiaojing helplessly responded, “I only want what’s best for you. You’re the only son that the Huang family has left, and if you die, I don’t know how I will answer to your family. Hurry up and go back.”
“I won’t. A man must follow through with what he has said, and since I’ve already said that we’ll explore the Scripture Pavilion, I’ll definitely go in.” The fatty was determined.
Yan Xiaojing sighed. “That’s up to you. I’ve already spoken with Brother Autumnfrost. If you run into danger there, he will try his best to save you, so just don’t go about courting disaster.” She then left after giving this warning.
One of the most tragic things that could happen to a person was for them to be looked down upon by someone they fancied.
“Seventh Bro, this fatty is pretty pathetic. Help him, as this monkey can’t watch this go on any further,” the Ghost Monkey said.
Cracks appeared in the sky from time to time. There was no one fighting, but there was still a strange strength that caused the sky to tear and the ground to fracture.
Before the group set off, Autumnfrost Qing warned everyone that although the Daosource Sect’s ancient battle had ended long ago, there were still some aftershocks from that event that continued to echo in this place. The safest places in the entire Daosource Sect were the four mountain gates and the Budding Terrace, and there was nowhere else that could be considered safe.
This was also without mentioning that their current destination was the Scripture Pavilion, which was known as an extremely dangerous area.
It was not very easy to move from the Budding Terrace to the Scripture Pavilion, as many of the paths had been broken, and there were even a few where the void was unstable. While traveling, the group witnessed someone being torn into shreds by an unstable part of the void. Fresh blood splattered across the area, making for an exceptionally horrifying scene.
