Chapter 129 Immortal from the West
Chapter 129 Immortal from the West
Sunset at dusk.
Tang Lian and Luo Mingxuan were sitting in the courtyard, speaking in low voices. Tang Lian\'s expression was serious, and Luo Mingxuan, who always had a mischievous smile on his face, was also frowning harder and harder.
"So, Tang Clan intends to betray Snow Moon City?" Luo Mingxuan asked in surprise.
Tang Lian nodded. "Although I don’t know the Grandmaster’s specific plan, it’s obvious that they’re not going to maintain the alliance with Snow Moon City. He already has a better choice."
Luo Mingxuan drew in a cold breath. "This is not a trivial matter. Shixiong, we should hurry back to Snow Moon City together and report it to Third Citymaster!"
"No, I can\'t return to Snow Moon City yet." Tang Lian shook his head.
"Why? Are you still not decided, da-shixiong?" Luo Mingxuan said anxiously.
Tang Lian shook his head. "Tang Clan is my family, but Snow Moon City is my sect. I don\'t want to betray either of them. I just want to prevent this from happening. You return to Snow Moon City, and I have something more important to do."
"What is that?" Luo Mingxuan asked.
"Lei Clan Fort will be holding the Heroes Banquet soon. But right now, Lei Clan Fort and Snow Moon City don’t know that Tang Clan has turned on them. So, that Heroes Banquet is probably the beginning of the Tang Clan’s betrayal. I want to stop that from happening. You return to Snow Moon City to seek the help of Third Citymaster, and I will go to Lei Clan Fort and stop the Tang Clan from taking action," Tang Lian said with a serious face.
"Da-shixiong, this matter…" Luo Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, but didn\'t go on.
"I know, this is not something I can do." Tang Lian finished for Luo Mingxuan. "But you have to always do your best so that you’ll have no regrets. By the way, has there been news from shifu recently? "
"First Citymaster?" Luo Mingxuan shook his head. "Still no news."
"Oh." Tang Lian sighed, looked at the sunset, and thought in his heart, If shifu were here with me right now, maybe I wouldn’t be at such a loss.
On the other side, Xiao Se was lying on the rooftop, lazily basking in the last of the twilight.
Lei Wujie leaped up to Xiao Se\'s side, and Xiao Se raised his eyelids slightly. "Finally relieved?"
"I’ve been watching for four hours. It’s been okay." Lei Wujie smiled and sat down beside Xiao Se. "Xiao Se, I realised that you have a hobby. You always like to lie on the roof."
"Because it\'s quiet," Xiao Se replied.
"No, it’s because on the roof, you can see a place that’s very, very far away, and that place is your hometown." Lei Wujie paused, and then said, "You and Ye Ruoyi knew each other in that place that\'s very, very far away."
"Yes, Heavenly Revelations City. That\'s where we met." Xiao Se unexpectedly did not refute.
Lei Wujie thought for a while, then said, "Xiao Se, you always seemed reluctant to talk about everything that happened in your past. In fact, sometimes I’m also curious, why do you want to deliberately forget everything from your past?"
"When something you believe in suddenly collapses, you will also think, just raze it all to the ground and start over, a whole clean slate." Xiao Se opened his eyes and looked far away in a daze. "Then everything is a new beginning, everything has a chance of redemption. I want to have a whole new life."
"So when you met Miss Ye the first time, you deliberately didn\'t recognize her?" Lei Wujie asked.
"Yes. She is an old friend. The so-called old friend is someone who shouldn\'t reappear in this life," Xiao Se said softly.
"Okay." Lei Wujie nodded, and the Heart sword from his waist suddenly left its sheath and nailed down right in the middle of Xiao Se’s crotch.
Xiao Se was taken aback for a moment, and yelled furiously, "Lei Wujie, what are you doing!"
"I want to say that although we are good brothers, when it comes to love, I won’t give way! We compete fairly!" Lei Wujie looked at Xiao Se with a serious expression.
Xiao Se just cursed back hotly, "Good brothers my ass! Who’s competing with you! What love? You’re crazy!"
“Are you saying there’s no competition between us because you don’t intend to steal Miss Ye from me, but there’s no helping it since Miss Ye just likes you?" Lei Wujie flicked his finger, his Heart sword was about to move.
"I didn\'t say that!" Xiao Se snapped.
"Resheath." Lei Wujie said faintly, and the Heart sword was sheathed. "Anyway, I don\'t care, brothers are brothers, and love is love."
Inside the hall, Sikong Qianluo sat alone watching over Ye Ruoyi. She looked at Ye Ruoyi, who was sleeping soundly, and muttered to herself. "You and Xiao Se have known each other for so long. And… it doesn\'t sound like a simple relationship.
"But you obviously met before, so why didn\'t you recognize each other?
"Could it be that you were ex-lovers?
"That’s too much!"
Sikong Qianluo babbled on, and suddenly heard Ye Ruoyi release a low moan. She hurriedly stood up, but she saw Ye Ruoyi\'s complexion turned flush. Her forehead was drenched with sweat and a look of pain crossed her face. She was about to turn around in terror to call everyone outside, but suddenly she saw a person walking towards her.
The person appeared out of thin air, as if he were walking out of the void.
The man was dressed in a white robe, with white beard and hair, and a white horsetail whisk in his arm. His long beard hung down to his waist, but his face did not appear old at all. He was still handsome, his pupils were bright, and he gave off an immortal aura.
"Imm… immortal?" Sikong Qianluo was stunned.
The old immortal smiled faintly at Sikong Qianluo, walked to Ye Ruoyi\'s side, and touched Ye Ruoyi\'s forehead with his finger. He nodded slightly and said, "Don’t worry." Then he flicked his horsetail whisk, and Sikong Qianluo saw a white light pour into Ye Ruoyi\'s chest. In an instant, the painful look on Ye Ruoyi\'s face disappeared, and her entire person calmed down again, complexion finally returning to normal.
The old immortal turned his head, looked at Sikong Qianluo, and said with a smile, "You must be the daughter of Spear Immortal?
Ordinarily, if someone said to her the most taboo four words, "daughter of Spear Immortal", she would have beaten them with her spear. But facing this old man with the appearance of an immortal, Sikong Qianluo looked frightened. "I… I am. Dare I ask old immortal is…"
"I have met your father before." The old immortal shook his horsetail whisk lightly, and his whole body suddenly flashed to Sikong Qianluo\'s side. He picked up Sikong Qianluo’s spear with a light hand. "Silver Moon Spear, Break Your Soul. This is an inauspicious spear, but it has a very good owner."
Sikong Qianluo didn\'t see how this person snatched her spear. She even had an illusion that after this person walked to her side, she somehow handed the spear over. It was a strange feeling, but she didn’t feel any fear in her heart, just because the old man didn\'t seem to have any dangerous aura at all.
