C78 (1/2)
After the wolf-spirits were eradicated, Hu Ji went somewhere, maybe to the brothel.
The atmosphere between the three of them was a bit gloomy, but the villagers were all elated. After learning that the rabbit essence had helped them to ascend into the immortal, these villagers built a new temple to worship the rabbit immortal, to keep the peace of the rain and the wind.
Gu Changge and her group once again set foot on the road to Qinghua, but communication between the three of them was extremely little.
After a day of travel, they reached the Ze City at the foot of Yuxiao Kongque Mountain before nightfall. Because there were so many teachings on the mountain, Bai Ze suggested that he should stay at Ze City.
Even if Bai Ze didn't bring it up himself, she would do it because she was really afraid that if Bai Ze caused any trouble on the mountain, he wouldn't be able to keep a low profile and return home.
After arranging everything for Bai Ze, Changge Imperial Sword and Dongfang Yu headed up the mountain.
A few years ago, she was still complaining about the rugged path up the mountain. Not only did the gentle man beside her not blame her, he even kindly made an exception for her and brought her up the mountain gate on his sword.
It had to be said that she only had one expectation at that time — to be able to control the sword and never have to walk again, that must have been great.
After arriving at the mountain gate, the disciples guarding it she did not recognize.
Before coming here, he had told Dongfang Yu that he wanted to keep a low profile so that he wouldn't need to spread it. Dongfang Yu also understood the unfair treatment that she had received at Qinghua, and being able to leave Qinghua was also a good opportunity for her. Now that she had returned, she was sure that there were many people that she did not want to see.
Today is a disciple recruitment event, I originally didn't plan to take in disciples on my travels, but since I'm back, I might have to take in a group of disciples tomorrow.
Only then did Chang Ge notice that the Flashy Hall beneath the flying sword was brightly lit. The new disciples that had finished their day of competition were in the midst of the final round of disciple recruitment.
I heard that Sect Leader Li Weng is no longer taking in disciples, and those young disciples that joined Qinghua with Chang Ge had not cultivated up to the Half-immortal yet, so they are not allowed to take in disciples.
Speaking of which, couldn't help but look at Changge in a new light when the disciple with the most shallow aptitude became the Half-immortal instead.
The two of them stopped their swords outside the Flashy Hall. The hall was very lively, the new disciples were all eager to try, and wanted to become disciples with their own hearts.
Yet, Changge's eyes were attracted by a white silhouette in the hall. She stared at that figure without moving, her gaze penetrating the entire hall's splendor. Everything was an illusion, and only that person was real.
Xiao Ziyang was dressed in luxurious clothes that were like water and sat on the seat of Sect Leader.
The dark markings on his white shirt were like flowing moon patterns, exuding a brilliance that could not be looked at. His black hair was like a waterfall, sliding down his back, and a few strands of hair hung straight onto his legs.
There was no expression on his face. The coldness and loneliness of the thousand-year ice seal gave him a prideful look. His long, thin, sword-like eyebrows slanted into his hair, and Dan Feng's ice-cold eyes peeked out of the hall, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Although she knew that she had not been discovered, her heart was still pounding like a drum. She didn't know how to describe her current mood. She wanted him to see her, but she didn't want him to see her.
If you see it, she can proudly interrogate him. Are you regretting that you didn't accept me as your disciple back then?
If she didn't see him, she could hide in the shadows, quietly, quietly, and watch as this man who shouldn't have existed in the mortal world walked out of her line of sight, never having any more interactions with him.
Dongfang Yu walked to her side, seeming to understand her feelings. Not only did the master you wanted to take in you as a disciple, but he also gave you up as a disciple, I know that you feel bad, but after so many years, didn't you also manage to cultivate your Half-immortal?
Chang Ge forced out a pale smile, and spoke to Dongfang Yu with a disapproving tone: ”I'm not feeling bad, it's just as you said, it's over. Grandpa and Bai Ze have treated me very well.”
