Chapter 485 - An Old Friend (1/2)
For a moment, Ziyun’er did not understand why he was so anxious suddenly and asked, “What’s wrong, Lord?” Xiao Chen said anxiously, “There is no time to explain now, Qingluan, hurry!”
Qingluan never saw him with such anxiety and did not ask much. She immediately arched her hands, saying, “Don’t worry about it, Lord, I’ll get people to go after Empress Huangfu now.” Then she moved and quickly went outside.
After a while, Xiao Chen then settled down a bit. Ziyun’er poured him a cup of tea and asked softly, “What happened, Lord?”
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at the wound on the left shoulder. Any previous wound will heal automatically even if it was big, leaving no trace, but this time there was a scar on the shoulder. He said, “Xuanxu Zi will definitely go hurt her.”
Ziyun’er froze, the teacup in her hand almost slipped, and said, “But Xuanxu Zi no longer belongs to Immortals’ League. Why would he hurt us?” Xiao Chen shook his head and frowned. “You don’t understand, because of this, now he has no more worries.”
At this moment, Xiao Chen had completely understood, because Bai Susu, the Immortals’ League would no longer do harm to him in the light, but they would definitely not let him go so easily, they would definitely let him be removed in secret, instead of under the name of Immortals’ League.
That day on Wuyue Peak, for an unknown reason, Xuanxu Zi was determined to kill Xin’er, and now that he was not in Immortals ‘League anymore, it would only be more convenient for him. So his first kill would be Xin’er, the second would be himself, and the next would be everyone around him. This person was indeed bloodthirsty.
Ziyun’er also suddenly got it. She frowned and said angrily, “This Immortals’ League is so two-faced, in the light it’s one thing and then another in the back. It’s really hateful!”
Xiao Chen shook his head and sighed. “As Gui Xian said, he doesn’t have enough strength now, he doesn’t have enough power, so these people will be unbridled, but now it’s good that the Immortals’ League is not involved. At least he doesn’t have to worry about those numerous underlings.”
Somehow, he had a very bad feeling, that he would have a lot of enemies in the future. The Immortals’ League, Order of the Divine Fire and Mo Clan from the so-called Orthodox Paths are just short-term bashing. His real powerful enemy in the future would be that guy named Feng You.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen frowned deeply. “This person named Feng You seems to know many things about himself. Is he really just as simple as an Elder in Dark Shadow Hall? The origin of this person is very suspicious. In any case, he must raise his cultivation as soon as possible to cope with various future problems. He asked, “Right, where’re the other people? Brother Yi Tong?”
Ziyun’er also put away her feelings, smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Lord. Everyone else is okay now, Mister Yi Tong, Mister None-flower get along well with Altar Master Su. Yesterday when they saw Lord’s injury got better, they went drinking together.”
“Is that so…” Xiao Chen nodded slightly and smiled. “Although Su Lianyue is of the devil sect, she should be the same as None-flower Dust, whose idea about the difference of devil and the orthodox path is not as clear-cut as his. Whoever she can drink together with is a friend.
“Ziyun’er, help me up, I want to go out for a walk.”
Although Xiao Chen had recovered much from his injury, he still felt very stiff, and even walking on the ground was a bit too much. Ziyun’er smiled and said, “Okay.” She helped him out of bed carefully now and slowly walked out.
The courtyard was full of fallen petals, with a small pond, and a few narcissuses blooming by the pool. The breeze blew with the fragrance of flowers, and the petals of the tree fell on the shoulders of the two by the wind. After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen felt more comfortable and not as depressed as before.
After walking in the yard, Xiao Chen’s body was not as stiff as when he first got up, but his left arm was still a bit inflexible and did not have much strength. The two then walked out of the courtyard. The scenery of Blue-water Altar was quite quiet. It was in the middle of summer, however, it was not sweltering, and there was a hint of coolness in the air, which was much cooler than other places in the North Continent.
“Actually, the Lord doesn’t have to worry too much. One day, those people dare not come to mess with the Lord again. When that day comes, we’ll walk so leisurely in the court every day and watch the moments of the sky, wouldn’t it be nice?”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “You’re right.” Although his face was smiling, he was still deeply worried in his heart. Even if those people no longer come to provoke him, he still had to find his master to solve the thousands-years mystery. When else could he be strolling so leisurely?
“Although life is short, I don’t insist on becoming an Immortal in the future. I just want to see the liveliness in all the capitals through the seasons. That’s all I wish for. To live freely and stand aloof from worldly affairs. However, to do that, I have to put down everything, but how easy is that?”
When they talked, they suddenly heard the sound of flutes coming from far away, and the sound varied between high and low, which was like stream water hitting onto rocks with a certain elegance. In this valley, it sounded relatively charming. They followed the sound and reached a hillside. They saw a small stone pavilion, surrounded by red fences, and three people were sitting in the pavilion.
Two of them were drinking and toasting at each other. Naturally, it was the two alcoholics, None-flower Dust and Yi Tong, and the person who played the flute was Su Lianyue. Her face was slightly flushed and she seemed to be a little drunk. Her ten fingers pressed lightly on the flute holes and her wide sleeves were fluttering, which made her look very charming.
After a song, both None-flower Dust and Yi Tong applauded, smiled and said, “In life, we only know the meaning of wine. This time to hear the wonderful music of the fairy is far better than ten jars of good wines. ”
Su Lianyue giggled, making the sleeves flutter, and looking more charming and pleasant. She smiled and said, “No, if you talk about the rhythm, I’m not that good, as compared to Mister Xiao’s zither music, I’m way far off from that.”
Yi Tong lifted his head and laughed. “Speaking Mister Xiao, he has arrived. Mister Xiao, will you not come up for two drinks?” At the end, he looked at Xiao Chen who was below.
Ziyun’er smiled and said, “You two alcoholics. Don’t think about it. The Lord’s body is just better now, so he can’t drink.”
