Chapter 1120 Night Talk (1/2)
Zhou Yuan gazed at the rising bonfires of the camp from atop a hill as he stretched his arms towards the sky. The decision to rescue Cangxuan Heaven had already been made. Next, they only needed to notify Hunyuan Heaven’s other eight regions, and they would be able to begin their operation.
Although the Cangxuan Heaven main force was in quite a predicament, Zhou Yuan was still happy that he would soon see many familiar faces.
The friends that had worked hard together back then had begun to reveal their brilliance.
Soft footsteps were suddenly heard behind him.
Zhou Yuan tilted his head backwards, and saw Zuoqiu Qingyu and Luluo approach. The alluring beauty and the sweet and cute young lady seemed to make even the moonlight full of flavor.
They sat down beside Zhou Yuan.
“Zhou Yuan, we really have to thank you for this.” Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression was much more relaxed, evidently no longer carrying a heavy burden.
She knew that the Tianyuan Region would not have accepted so easily if not for Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to be polite. I’m from Cangxuan Heaven too after all, and I also have many friends in the Cangxuan Sect. How can I sit by while they’re in danger?”
Zhou Yuan had deep feelings towards the Cangxuan Sect. Beautiful memories of a certain tiny cave dwelling in the sect were still carved deep in his mind.
While Zhou Yuan was reminiscing, Luluo suddenly asked, “Right, where’s Yaoyao? Your Tianyuan Region friends do not appear to know her?”
Zhou Yuan’s hand went rigid. He was silent for a moment, before he answered, “In that great battle years ago, Yaoyao fought with palace master Sheng Yuan to protect me, and ended up sustaining serious injuries. She has been in a deep sleep till today, and I’ve been working to awaken her for the past few years.”
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s expression changed, while worry appeared in Luluo’s eyes.
Zuoqiu Qingyu comforted him, “Don’t worry, Yaoyao will be okay.”
“I also believe so.” Zhou Yuan smiled. He quickly changed the topic, “Right, I’ve been unable to ask because there were too many people around earlier, but how has the Great Zhou Empire been? And my parents?”
His expression was somewhat nervous.
This was a worry that had plagued Zhou Yuan ever since he left Cangxuan Heaven. After all, the Sacred Palace and him were akin to fire and water. If the Sacred Palace wanted revenge, there was no way the Great Zhou Empire would be able to survive.
He had asked the Cangxuan Sect to take care of the Great Zhou Empire before he left, but who knew what happened since then.
Zhou Yuan breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
This favor is as heavy as a mountain. Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly. The Cangxuan Sect ahd safeguarded the Great Zhou Empire for several years. To them, it might merely be dispatching a single elder, but Zhou Yuan was deeply grateful.
This was why he had to go when senior Chu Qing and the others were in trouble.
Zhou Yuan asked, “Are Li Chunjun, Zhen Xu and the others also here?”
Zuoqiu Qingyu nodded as she displayed a beautiful smile. “They’re currently the pillars of the younger generation in their respective sects, and also managed to advance to the Heavenly Sun stage due Guyuan Heaven’s emergence.
Luluo excitedly elaborated, “The most amazing one is Li Chunjun...he’s created quite a name for himself in Cangxuan heaven. Besides you and the deceased Wu Huang, he’s the finest in our generation.”
