Chapter 99 Epilogue Part 5
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
Meng Linzhou was Li Fenglan’s disciple. However, Li Fenglan, who watched Meng Linzhou grow up, was hesitant about how to explain their relationship due to their seniority.
As for Ling Buyan…he still stood by, smiling and not saying a word as usual.
In the end, it was the unusually happy Cheng Huang who spoke up.
As a true fierce beast who once dominated the Three Realms and didn’t mind stirring up trouble everywhere, this fluffy Cheng Huang now was not as silly and sweet as before.
Although it also disagreed with Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan being together, seeing Meng Linzhou like this, Cheng Huang inexplicably became happy.
Hehe.
Suddenly, Cheng Huang smiled at Meng Linzhou and said, “What rumors? What rumors?”
“Just…” Meng Linzhou thought that Cheng Huang didn’t understand what he had just said.
But before he could finish his sentence, a wicked smile appeared on Cheng Huang’s cute face, which was quite discordant.
Cheng Huang jumped to Meng Linzhou’s side and whispered in his ear, “Hehe, what you said is not a rumor.”
Cheng Huang’s voice sounded like that of a human child under ten years old, very cute, but at this moment, in Meng Linzhou’s ear, it was like a demon whispering.
Cheng Huang was truly a fierce beast, very skilled at inflicting damage on the enemy while taking damage itself.
Although it was the person who supported Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan being together the least, seeing Meng Linzhou’s confused expression now, Cheng Huang “kindly” said, “Master Fenglan and Ling Buyan are indeed Dao companions. I saw it very clearly that day, and they even…”
Cheng Huang, who didn’t understand humans at all, frowned and said nonchalantly, “They even kissed!”
Upon hearing this, Ling Buyan, who was standing not far away, suddenly raised an eyebrow slightly.
After Li Fenglan realized what was happening, he immediately went forward and covered Cheng Huang’s mouth with his hand.
“Wuwuwu?” Cheng Huang didn’t understand why Li Fenglan was doing this. Wasn’t it just a kiss? Cheng Huang often kissed Li Fenglan as well. Did people have to keep their kisses secret?
Obviously, this kind of thing was inexplicable to a fierce beast like Cheng Huang…
Speaking of Li Fenglan’s disciple, Meng Linzhou, although he looked like he wasn’t very bright on a daily basis, at this moment, when he heard Cheng Huang’s words, Meng Linzhou suddenly became stunned.
He understood Cheng Huang’s meaning!
“Master… master?” At this moment, Meng Linzhou felt like his world was falling apart.
How could this be happening!
His master had abandoned him.
Perhaps Meng Linzhou’s sudden change of expression was too obvious. Even Cheng Huang, who had been trying to make fun of him just now, suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
“That?” Cheng Huang spoke slowly and said to Meng Linzhou, “I have already accepted the reality. Do you need to calm down too?”
Meng Linzhou shook his head slowly and took a step back.
If Li Fenglan hadn’t seen it wrong, Meng Linzhou’s eyes were starting to turn red.
In fact, before coming here, Meng Linzhou had just encountered Cheng Duan, the one who stole Li Fenglan’s dao heart and then ran away. Without any hesitation, Meng Linzhou took revenge on behalf of Li Fenglan and killed him.
So Meng Linzhou had several purposes for coming into the valley today.
One was to have his master clarify the situation, the second was to tell him about this news.
And the third and most important one… Meng Linzhou had personally made a sword tassel for Li Fenglan.
But now…Meng Linzhou silently swallowed these few things. He felt that he needed to calm down.
Meng Linzhou didn’t plan to tell Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan about these three pieces of news today. If he told them today, wouldn’t his behavior be like…giving a wedding gift?
No, no! He must maintain his last bit of dignity.
Meng Linzhou couldn’t bear this grievance. So Li Fenglan and Ling Buyan saw Meng Linzhou, with red eyes, nodding to the two of them and then leaving in a daze.
Meng Linzhou’s fragile heart was somewhat hurt, as for those three things…let’s wait for him to calm down before speaking.
The wind and snow in the Shenwu Mountain Valley finally stopped today. After Meng Linzhou left, Li Fenglan was drawing and suddenly felt a bit sleepy.
Not long after, he slowly leaned on the small table and fell asleep.
This time, Li Fenglan had a dream.
In this dream, his unlucky junior brother did not come down from the sky in the middle of the night.
And he himself stayed in Miguang Mountain alone for a long, long time.
Long enough that he became an ordinary gentleman in Tianmian Palace just to pass the time.
Perhaps this was another possibility…
The first sect in the world of cultivation, Tianmian Palace, has very strict requirements for its disciples. In the past, young disciples only learned martial arts and sword techniques. Many years later, the sect leader Jiang Yichang suddenly felt that these disciples were a bit rough and should learn some poetry, calligraphy, music, etc.
In the eyes of sword cultivators, reading and writing were not as interesting as practicing swordsmanship, so no one wanted to learn these things until a new teacher named Li Fenglan appeared.
One day, in the poetry and calligraphy hall, before the hour of the dragon, the new teacher was surrounded by people, and the disciples handed him their calligraphy for inspection. The young cultivators surrounded him, but he didn’t seem to mind.
“Teacher Li, how’s my calligraphy?” A young man squeezed his way to Li Fenglan and placed his calligraphy on the desk.
With just a glance, Li Fenglan shook his head and took out a pen to make some corrections. “Your brushstroke is too hasty.”
After quietly watching Li Fenglan write, the young man suddenly looked at him admiringly and said, “I always feel that there is a sword intent in Teacher Li’s calligraphy… By the way, why have you been staying here instead of practicing on the mountain?”
He also subconsciously glanced under Li Fenglan’s hat, but unfortunately, Li Fenglan was now lowering his head, and his whole face was covered by the hat.
Li Fenglan suddenly laughed, stood up and said, “Practice? It’s not comfortable up there.”
After hearing his words, everyone around him also laughed. They all thought that Li Fenglan was joking, but little did they know that Li Fenglan’s words came from the bottom of his heart.
After all, this was his biggest hobby in childhood… He, who had once stood at the top of the world of cultivation, had no desire to practice anymore.
After the laughter died down, someone approached him and asked, “Seriously, why do you stay here?”
Li Fenglan knew that these young disciples were more interested in gossip than in class, but he had no intention of exposing anything. Finally, he spoke seriously, “I was injured by a fierce beast, which left me with a scar on my face and it crippled my spiritual root.”
“Is that so…”
Upon hearing Li Fenglan’s words, the room suddenly became quiet.
Since Li Fenglan’s first day here, they had been curious about what this new teacher looked like and why he wore a veil. Now that they had heard him explain himself, they felt that it would be inappropriate to pry into his scars.
After speaking, Li Fenglan subconsciously touched the face hidden under the veil. “Aren’t you afraid?” He felt a bit strange when he saw that everyone was silent.
The disciples around him shook their heads in unison, looking at Li Fenglan with reverence. In their eyes, Teacher Li, who had once fought a fierce beast, was even more formidable than before.
For a while, it was lively around Li Fenglan.
But he remained focused on grading his students’ homework.
“Green trees on the Qingling hills, standing tall like cypresses…” When the young disciple wrote up to this point, his sentence suddenly stopped, obviously forgetting the rest of the content.
Just as Li Fenglan was about to write it for him, he suddenly heard a strange voice in his ear.
“Stones in the Lei Lei stream. In this world, we are like travelers passing through.” The person smiled and filled in the rest of the poem.
Upon hearing this, Li Fenglan was startled and looked up at the person.
…Who was he?
Before Li Fenglan could remember who this person was, the man who had suddenly appeared beside him in a black robe smiled and said, “Fenglan, it’s been years. Don’t you recognize your master?”
Master?
After being reborn for many years, Li Fenglan had almost forgotten that he had a master.
It was not until the other person appeared here that Li Fenglan finally remembered – he seemed to have a master.
However, since Li Fenglan’s rebirth, the man had been in seclusion, and he didn’t know how to get along with him.
…But who can predict the future?
In a moment, various thoughts flashed through Li Fenglan’s mind.
“I’m called Ling Buyan,” the man suddenly smiled and stood in front of Li Fenglan, slowly writing down the three characters. “Do you remember me?” He asked with a smile.
Ling Buyan, Master?
The originally unfamiliar words were deeply imprinted in Li Fenglan’s mind at this moment.
And at that time, he had not yet thought that the meaning of these three characters would be more than just a master.
