Chapter 381.2 (2/2)

After knowing each other’s names, Cao Kang happily handed over his duties to a few Harmonious Spirit Realm servants and got someone to replace him. Then, he followed Ning Fan into the Green Bamboo Palace to enjoy some wine.

When the other Harmonious Spirit Realm servants saw that Cao Kang had found a wealthy visitor, each of them revealed a look of jealousy and admiration.

Right after Ning Fan and Cao Kang entered the Green Bamboo Palace, two young ladies dressed up like mistresses arrived at the entrance. One of them wore a set of blue robes while the other wore a set of green robes. A bevy of young maidservants following them from behind. There were twelve of them in total.

Each maidservant revealed a Vein Opening Realm cultivation base while the two mistresses ahead emanated Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivation bases.

However, all of that was just a cover. The two mistresses were actually Divine Transformation Realm old ancestors.

The mistress in blue robes had a gentle and elegant appearance. She held an oiled paper umbrella as she walked. From the beginning until the end, she remained silent. Her mind seemed to be preoccupied by something that made her unwilling to speak. However, after Ning Fan entered the Green Bamboo Palace, only then did she gently lift her head and stared at him, as if she was thinking of something. Her large, watery eyes glinted.

“Sister ‘Dan Tai’, what are you looking at? Is that Vein Opening Realm junior very good-looking?” The lady in green robes teased.

“Oh, it’s nothing. Something just caught my attention. That young man seems a little extraordinary.” The lady holding an umbrella puckered her lips and smiled.

“Sister must be joking. How extraordinary can a Vein Opening Realm cultivator be? By the way, aren’t we supposed to recruit the vice sect master of the Bi Yao Sect on behalf of the Zifu Academy? Why are we taking the longer route and came to the Green Bamboo Palace instead? Don’t tell me that Sister wants to drink again?”

“You’re really like a clever yet mischievous little elf. Yes. I want to drink. So Sister Lu Zhu, do you want to make a complaint to our master?”

“Aiyo… How can I be so bold…?”

Lu Zhu purchased a heaven grade bamboo plate while Dan Tai got herself a yellow grade bamboo plate which was the same choice that Ning Fan had made.

Because Lu Zhu had purchased the heaven grade bamboo plate, countless cultivators guessed that she was a Divine Transformation Realm old ancestor. Thus, no one there dared to underestimate this group of ladies. However, Miss Dan Tai’s wish of keeping a low profile while drinking wine was destroyed just like that by her companion’s eye-catching move.

Even the palace lord of the Green Bamboo Palace had come to receive them personally. How could they still be low-key?

Not long after they entered the Green Bamboo Palace, a white-robed middle-aged man who only had a single arm appeared outside the entrance. He carried a sword at his back and had a face filled with desolation. He looked carefully at the group of ladies who had just entered the palace.

“Did the Zifu Academy of the Southern Heaven Immortal World set their eyes upon some geniuses of the righteous path…?”

The white-robed man only thought briefly about the ladies and cast the thought aside in the next moment.

The reason why he came here was not for the members of the Zifu Academy. Instead, he was here to give someone a test and give him the token of a revered being.

He pressed his glabella and his divine star shone. In a spin, he turned into a white-robed gentleman. Even though he did not carry a sword, his heart contained one. Even though his arm was severed, he was able to conjure a fake arm with his magic power.

He recalled Ning Fan’s figure and was absorbed in his thoughts. This would be his first time meeting him. However, he had already heard of Ning Fan’s personality prior to this.

The rumors said that Ning Fan was a wild and brutal devil who slaughtered countless cultivators and annihilated sects without mercy. The rumors said that Ning Fan was a lustful person and could have sex with one thousand women all day long.

This white-robed man could not understand why a person like him could become a revered being of the Rain Palace.

Even though it was to obtain that item, he felt that the Divine Sovereign’s decision was a little too reckless.

However, after he saw Ning Fan in person, he suddenly had a wrong impression and the rumors he heard seemed unreliable.

Usually, one could understand a person’s personality by looking at their back.

It was because they might wear a fake expression on their face but they could not hide the loneliness of their shadow.

The white-robed man noticed that the real Ning Fan he saw was actually similar to him. Both of them had a lonesome shadow.

“Zhou Ming, who is now under the alias of Yun Fan entered the Green Bamboo Palace just to get himself drunk…? An interesting kid. Hmm. Yun Fan… Why does this name sound so familiar…?”

The white-robed man remained silent for a moment.

He had forgotten some very important things which were much more important than his own life.

Besides, he had even forgotten how angry he was in the past that urged him to kill the fourth prince of the Rain Palace!

He was searching for an answer in his entire life.

The White-Robed Sword God, Yun Tianjue.

His shadow was as lonesome as Ning Fan’s.
