Chapter 77
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
For a long time, Qiu Wanyou unconsciously regarded Lin Chaochen, his youngest disciple, as a burden that he had to take on, a responsibility that he had to bear involuntarily.
Perhaps even he himself was not aware of this subconscious thought.
However, this idea deeply affected Qiu Wanyou’s attitude towards his disciple – when he taught Lin Chaochen martial arts and cultivation techniques, he never held back, but there was always a barrier between him and his young disciple.
Especially after realizing that Lin Chaochen harbored the same thoughts as himself, Qiu Wanyou became even more disapproving of this young disciple.
But Li Fuyue, who was single-minded in the previous life, did not realize this, even though he lived with them day and night…
People like Qiu Wanyou always tend to dislike their own kind.
Even though Lin Chaochen left Snowy Meizhou to establish himself, his existence was like a mirror that always made Qiu Wanyou see his own not-so-bright side unintentionally.
“Perhaps you won’t believe me even if I tell you,” Qiu Wanyou suddenly smiled and said to Li Fenglan, “In recent days, I have been recalling everything that happened during our millennium. I realized that I was not a good master, not just to you, but also to Lin Chaochen.”
Hearing Qiu Wanyou’s words, Li Fenglan tightened his grip on Finished Karma in his hand.
After expressing the meaning of farewell, the words spoken by his previous master unexpectedly caused ripples in the previously calm heart of Li Fenglan.
He couldn’t help but sniff, then whispered, “You’re a good master.”
Indeed, Li Fenglan thought so, after all, as a master of a disciple himself, he was even less responsible than Qiu Wanyou.
The person holding the long sword smiled and shook his head. He turned to look at Lin Chaochen, then said to Li Fenglan, “I will take Lin Chaochen away from here, but the rest will depend on his fate.”
This was the last thing Qiu Wanyou could do as a master, even though he had already ascended and couldn’t change the reality of Lin Chaochen’s demonic possession. The only thing Qiu Wanyou could do now was to take Lin Chaochen back to his mountain, Yanyi Mountain. If Lin Chaochen went demonic on the main peak, then no one could help him.
After saying this, Qiu Wanyou looked deeply at Li Fenglan, flicked his sleeve, and then disappeared into the green light with Lin Chaochen in the next moment.
It was so sudden, Li Fenglan didn’t react.
He didn’t even say “goodbye.”
“Master…” Seeing those two rays of green light, Li Fenglan unconsciously whispered like that.
Did he just leave like that…
This was too sudden.
Li Fenglan didn’t know what kind of feeling he was experiencing right now. Facing the suddenly empty Xieguang Tower, he was a little confused for a moment.
What he didn’t know was that in the moment he turned and left, Qiu Wanyou’s heart was hurt deeply.
Was Qiu Wanyou really as suave as he appeared?
Of course not, a person’s nature wouldn’t change in such a short period of time.
Compared to his disciple Li Fenglan, Qiu Wanyou was truly a clever person. He knew what he should do at this moment. Only by leaving now could he leave a good impression in Li Fenglan’s heart.
Qiu Wanyou looked suave, but in reality, he made this decision because he couldn’t let go.
“Master… this?” Meng Linzhou was still thinking that something was wrong with the sect’s technique when he looked up and saw Qiu Wanyou disappear.
“En,” Li Fenglan turned around and lightly nodded when he heard his disciple calling him, “Let’s go back.”
Li Fenglan was thinking about other things now, so when he spoke, he didn’t even notice that he had said the word “back” himself.
But Meng Linzhou was different.
Of course, he heard Li Fenglan say they were going back.
As someone who held a heavy responsibility in the Law Enforcement Hall, Meng Linzhou, upon hearing this word, decisively chose to follow Li Fenglan to Miguang Mountain while Li Fenglan was not yet aware.
Before leaving Xieguang Tower, Meng Linzhou couldn’t help but take a look at Li Fenglan’s pure white sword.
–The withered tassel on the pure white sword looked a bit mismatched.
Meng Linzhou made a resolution in his heart. After a while, he would definitely get a tassel that matched Li Fenglan’s Finished Karma and give it to him…
After finishing a big task and returning to Miguang Mountain, the first thing Li Fenglan did was to gently knock on the closed door outside Ling Buyan’s meditation room, although he didn’t have much hope for a response.
Even though he was disappointed by the lack of response, Li Fenglan didn’t know how long Ling Buyan would be in seclusion. After returning to Miguang Mountain, he continued to live his life, oscillating between busyness and boredom, moving towards the future, day by day.
However, during this time, Li Fenglan did not have much idle time. For example, he used his free time and his disciple’s “position” to sneak into Tianmian Palace’s main peak several times and secretly set up a large formation outside Xieguang Tower.
After all, according to “Tianmian Daosheng,” Mo Shenyu would soon go there to seize the sword. Since he knew the plot, he naturally had to be prepared early.
Unlike Tianmian Palace, which was covered in snow all year round, Miguang Mountain was like spring all year round, with lush vegetation.
But this day, as soon as Li Fenglan walked out of the room in the early morning, he saw a large number of trees not far away that had fallen over at some point, as if they had just been crushed by something, looking especially pitiful.
Although the cultivation world had been peaceful and uneventful lately, no one’s mood could relax at this time. So when Li Fenglan saw the fallen trees, he immediately became nervous.
Feeling the change in his master’s mood, Finished Karma, who had been hiding his presence, suddenly appeared next to Li Fenglan and made a humming sound.
“It’s okay,” Li Fenglan turned around, took Finished Karma back from the suspended position in mid-air, and lightly patted the sword, “No one should dare to intrude on Miguang Mountain.”
To take a step back, the ancient fierce beast, Cheng Huang, has a strong ability to sense external events. If there was any danger, Cheng Huang would have come to notify its owner last night.
However, just as Li Fenglan was thinking this, a huge white figure suddenly flashed before his eyes…
Li Fenglan: “?”
What was that thing that just passed by?!
As it disappeared behind him, Li Fenglan, who was holding Finished Karma, quickly turned around to see what it was.
Then he saw…Cheng Huang, who had become the size of a house, suddenly slapping his paw like a hand at a tree.
The trees behind Miguang Mountain have been around for at least hundreds of years, and their trunks cannot be knocked down by Cheng Huang’s palm, which has grown to the size of a house.
“Wu wu wu! You bullied me~ I’ll tell Fenglan~”
Looking closely, it turned out that Cheng Huang, who was currently patting a tree, had redness in its ice-blue eyes. It looked so wronged that it couldn’t be any more wronged.
“Cheng Huang? What are you doing?” Although Li Fenglan thought that his spirit beast would never get angry for no reason, he also felt that the tree in front of him should not have provoked it.
When Cheng Huang rushed past Li Fenglan’s room earlier, it ran so fast that it didn’t even see Li Fenglan there.
Now, when it suddenly heard Li Fenglan’s voice, Cheng Huang finally realized that its owner was already up. It quickly turned around and looked at Li Fenglan with a look of grievance.
“Wu wu, Fenglan~” Cheng Huang whimpered and suddenly shrank, rushing into Li Fenglan’s arms.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. What’s wrong with you?” Li Fenglan gently patted Cheng Huang’s back as he held it.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, Li Fenglan felt like Cheng Huang wiped its tears on his clothes.
Cough cough.
The white, furry head rubbed against Li Fenglan’s shoulder several times. After a while, Cheng Huang finally looked up at Li Fenglan and said, “It’s her, that golden bird, she bullied me!”
Wow, Cheng Huang was actually going to file a complaint?
It was only then that Li Fenglan realized that Cheng Huang had gone to the tree to hit it because Duan Wannian had shrunk and hidden in the tree…
Did he really have to solve this case for them?
“What’s wrong with her?” Li Fenglan took a look and saw no sign of Duan Wannian coming out, so he held Cheng Huang and walked forward.
At this point, Meng Linzhou, who had been holding paper and pen mysteriously, unclear what he was doing, also came over to watch.
Cheng Huang suddenly stretched out his paw and hesitated for a moment before pointing to his own tail.
“Fenglan, look here, it’s here!” Cheng Huang said angrily.
Cheng Huang had become a bit fat lately, and Li Fenglan, who was holding him, couldn’t really see where he was pointing.
Seeing this, Li Fenglan called over his only disciple and laborer on Miguang Mountain, Meng Linzhou.
Although Cheng Huang was a bit unwilling, he finally pouted and jumped into Meng Linzhou’s arms.
“So heavy.” Meng Linzhou sighed sincerely.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly exclaimed, “Master, your spiritual beast is biting me!”
“Hmph!” Cheng Huang didn’t like it when someone called him fat.
Li Fenglan wasn’t interested in his disciple’s interaction with the spiritual beast. He looked at Cheng Huang’s back, but couldn’t see anything for a long time.
“What’s wrong with your tail?” he couldn’t help but ask.
Seeing that Li Fenglan had finally returned to the topic, Cheng Huang first “hmphed” at Meng Linzhou, then quickly changed his expression and said very aggrievedly to Li Fenglan, “It’s that Duan Wannian!”
“Hm?”
“She said she wanted to build a nest, and then… while I was asleep, she plucked the fur from my tail~ sniffles.”
Li Fenglan: ???
Meng Linzhou: “Wow.”
After speaking, Cheng Huang finally couldn’t help but return to Li Fenglan’s arms, while not far away the little golden bird also timidly poked its head out.
Is this the conflict that should arise between ancient fierce beasts and the princess of the demon race?!
While feeling amused, looking at the scene before him, Li Fenglan suddenly felt – besides the fact that Ling Buyan had not yet come out of seclusion, everything around him was so perfect.
He was even a little reluctant for time to continue moving forward.
