C66 (2/2)
One moment, another moment …
After another two hours, on the road that was tens of feet away from the city gate, two men were galloping over. Wherever they passed, it would definitely be covered in dust, and within the smoke and dust, that grey shadow was untainted.
”He's here!”
When the people at the top of the city gates saw this, their thin lips curled upwards, revealing a faint smile. It was as if they were talking to themselves, but it also seemed to prove something. Their beautiful eyes also curled up due to their smiles.
In the blink of an eye, the flying dust had already reached the city walls.
Ji Chong Feng looked up at the blue-robed man and faintly smiled, ”Senior Brother Chuan, long time no see!”
Xin Yuanchuan immediately turned his head and instructed, ”Yan Hui, inform the audience below to welcome His Royal Highness into the city.”
”Yes sir!” The commanding officer immediately descended the city gate.
”...”
”Aren't you afraid that your royal father will suspect or blame you for inviting me here so brazenly?” Inside King Chuan's Mansion, Ji Chong Feng was sitting across from Xin Yuan Chuan, raising his eyebrows and asking him a question.
”About that, you can rest assured. When our teacher left the same sect, it was within reason that I invited you to be a guest in Heaven's Lot City. How could royal father blame you?” Xin Yuanchuan replied fearlessly.
At this moment, a maid served tea and snacks before leaving.
”Where is that monster now?”
Ji Chong Feng naturally knew who the monster he was referring to was. He slowly raised his teacup and shifted his gaze towards the tea leaves in the cup as he calmly said, ”They should be able to arrive here by tonight.”
When Xin Yuanchuan heard this, a ruthless cold glint flashed across his eyes. He chuckled and said, ”This time around, you're really fast!”
”He really is fast!” Ji Chong Feng's gaze suddenly became ethereal. After pondering for a moment, he raised his eyes to look at Xin Yuan Chuan. ”Senior Brother Chuan, there is one thing I still don't understand.”
”Oh? There is actually something you don't understand? ” His junior brother was a rare prodigy, a person personally chosen by his master. In these past few years, he had never let them down, so even he could not understand what was going on this time.
”Senior Brother, please don't tease me. Let me ask you, from Kunwu to Tianxin, other than the road you pointed out to me, is there any other road closer?” He really couldn't solve this question.
”Where is the closest road? That is the closest one.” Xin Yuanchuan thought that Han Li was joking and replied carelessly. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and his eyes narrowed. ”Could it be that the monster knows a much closer path?”
”After I left Lu Jia Village that day, I headed south and rushed towards Tian Luan City without stopping. However, it was Cang Qu …” ”Xin Lin obviously left a few days later than me, so he had no chance of catching up to me. But why did he catch up to me?”
This question stumped Xin Yuanchuan. ”If you say it like that …” ”This is completely impossible …”
”Whatever, let's not bother about this for now. Tell me about your arrangements.” Ji Chong Feng said as he took a sip of tea.
”...”
The crimson clouds reflected the setting sun, painting the horizon with a tinge of redness like a drunk beauty, dotted with the darkening twilight. The cool breeze gently blew past, and the floating red gauze seemed to be making its final appeal, as bits and pieces of petals floated along with the wind, creating an indescribably sad beauty.
Under the flower tree, a white and a red figure stood shoulder to shoulder as they calmly gazed at the distant Heaven's Lay City. Behind them were two fine horses that were crossing their necks. Such a scenery could surpass the immortal realms.
After staring at it for a long time, a cold, astringent, and resentful chuckle emerged from the corner of Xin Cang Qu's lips, and his voice revealed an endless amount of self-mockery, ”Compared to you, this Heavenly Trust Nation's heir … Isn't it very sad? ”Going back to your own capital and not daring to go through the main gate is no different from being a thief …”
”It's indeed very sad!”
He had expected Kungfu to say a few words of sympathy, but when he opened his mouth, he sarcastically said so.
Xin Cang Qu paused and turned her head to look at Kung Wu. The emptiness and sorrow in her eyes had disappeared, and she smiled coyly, ”You're quite frank!”
”Didn't you say that there was no need to put on an act in front of you?” Kunlun acted as if it was the most natural thing to do. He gently waved his jade fan and passed back the words he said that day to him.
Xin Cang Qu laughed softly, as if she had found something interesting, ”Heh …” He even said that he did not fall in love with Ben. Then why did you clearly remember what was said in Ben? ”
”When you can stand on the same side as This King, I wonder when This King will...” I really will fall in love with you. ” Kunlun smirked. He looked at the pair of crimson eyes deeply. He seemed to be trying to figure out something, yet he also seemed to want to conquer something.
