Chapter 88 (1/2)

“I’m sorry, I’m a new disciple. I lost my way and will leave right now.” Xiao Chen cupped his fists slightly and turned to go after these words.

That figure just now was really too familiar. He wanted to use his Divine Sense to probe into this courtyard premise, but sensed a formation barrier around. He did not want to alarm and alert anyone unwisely.

Back at the Wind-riding Pavilion, he still could not remember who that back resembled. Early the next morning, Liu Yunzheng came to see him. “Han Chen, have you recovered somewhat after these days?”

“Thank you for your concern, Master. I have recovered a little in the past few days, but I need some more time torecover completely .” He had already acknowledged his teacher two days ago in a ceremony, so he was nominally a disciple of the Teal Jade Sect. Naturally, he must not forget his etiquette.

Liu Yunzheng cracked a smile. “Never mind. Today, I have asked someone to take a look at you.” Xiao Chen’s heart sank. What will happen will happen, won’t it?

Liu Yunzheng said to the person outside, “Miss Luo, please come in.”

Miss Luo! Xiao Chen was startled.

From the doorway slowly emerged a woman in white, her light flowing attire bearing not a speck of dust. Her peerless beauty hid a long history, it seemed.

Xiao Chen’s sight seemed to freeze at that very moment, leaving only a slight breeze rustling in the courtyard in his ears. He recalled scene after scene from the past. Wasn’t she Luo Shangyan? She had been taken away by the Skygale Sect members. Why had she appeared here?

Luo Shangyan saw him too and nearly called out “Junior Brother Xiao.” Xiao Chen immediately cupped his fists and said, “I am Han Chen. My greetings to Senior Sister Luo!” So the figure that he saw from the back yesterday was really her.

Why had she appeared here? Where was Xian’er? Although Xiao Chen was full of questions and wanted to query her, he could not, since Liu Yunzheng was still by his side. Liu Yunzheng asked softly, “What’s wrong, Miss Luo?”

Luo Shangyan came to herself somewhat and came nearer. “Nothing. I will feel the pulse of Junior Brother Han first.”

Xiao Chen’s heart pounded wildly and he stretched his wrist out. Why did this Senior Sister Luo look so different and unfamiliar? What had happened in the past two or three months?

After a long time, Luo Shangyan finally withdrew her fingers and said slowly, “Junior Brother Han has suffered from the same forceful palm blow as Senior Sister Shen. But his inner strength isn’t as powerful. He needs time to recover. I will go back and look for ways to help him recover faster.”

Xiao Chen did not say anything. He had not suffered any palm blow in the first place.

“So, we shall have to trouble Miss Luo,” Liu Yunzheng said quietly.

Luo Shangyan smiled gently. “I owe my life to Uncle Liu. You don’t need to be so courteous to me, sir.” Her words clearly told Xiao Chen that Liu Yunzheng would not do anything to harm her.

Xiao Chen said hurriedly, “Let me escort Senior Sister Luo out.”

Luo Shangyan turned around. “Junior Brother Han must recover quietly. Make sure you do not mobilize your inner strength and use it forcefully. I will be here to see you tomorrow.” Liu Yunzheng said, “Han Chen, stay in your room. I will see Miss Luo out.”

As he saw the figures of the two leave, Xiao Chen remained quiet. He could ask everything tomorrow. He could not sleep throughout the night, turning and tossing. The image of Luo Shangyan in the day kept rising in his mind.
