Chen Xiao squeezed Xi Yunting's fingers hard, which brought him back to his senses.
Chen Xiao asked him with a serious expression: "What happened?"
Xi Yunting pursed his lips tightly, shook his head gently, and said, "I'm afraid I'm just worrying too much. Brother Xiao, don't worry."
Chen Xiao was a little confused. In his opinion, the bodies of immortal cultivators were extremely healthy, pain-free and disaster-free. When they reached the Taisu Zhenren Fusion Stage, they were like living immortals.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't guess what Xi Yunting was worried about.
Xi Yunting had something on his mind that he didn't want to tell him, which made him feel heartbroken.
This is not the first time Xi Yunting has behaved like this. They had a conflict over this before. Chen Xiao did not expect that the situation would not improve now.
He was unhappy, but he managed to suppress his irritability and pretend nothing had happened.
Xi Yunting was thinking about something and was a little absent-minded. He took Chen Xiao and flew towards a familiar route unconsciously.
Chen Xiao let him lead him silently, glancing at his profile from time to time.
I wanted to ask him, when will he be able to be someone that I can open up to? Is it because he hasn't done well enough to make Big Brother feel reliable?
Obviously, everyone was very happy and in a good mood until yesterday. Chen Xiao didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he had to swallow the words that were about to come to his lips.
Their hands tightened and they stopped.
There was a large mountain range below. Chen Xiao was just trying to figure out where this was when he heard Xi Yunting say, "Brother Xiao, I'll take you to Brother Jing. I have some things to do. Can you wait for me there?"
Chen Xiao became even more depressed. Xi Yunting had already made the decision and was just notifying him.
Since Xi Yunting wouldn't take him with him, he naturally had no choice but to wait!
Chen Xiao nodded with a somewhat stiff expression and said, "Go and do whatever you want. I can help Ershun find Wu Xinzhi."
Xi Yunting originally planned to deal with this matter with him, but now he has more important things to confirm.
After sending Chen Xiao to Jing Hui's residence, he sent a communication talisman to Zhao Fang.
Zhao Fang was not his closest disciple, but he knew the most about Xiaodi's affairs, so for convenience's sake, he had no choice but to look for him.
Chen Xiao watched Xi Yunting expressionlessly as he flew away in another direction. He exuded a gloomy aura, which scared Shen Yanxing so much that he dared not step forward.
Jinghui said casually: "Why are you angry? Did the couple have a fight?"
Chen Xiao turned around and glared at him angrily, it would be better if they really had a quarrel.
Jing Hui scratched her head in confusion, "What happened? Did they really have a fight? Let me make it clear first, although I am on your side, this is the Chongxuan Sect, and if we really fight, we have no chance of winning."
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at his words. He said angrily, "Don't say we didn't have a fight. Even if we did, you shouldn't take sides! You didn't even ask a question and just resorted to violence. Haven't you heard the old saying that it's better to destroy ten temples than to break up a relationship?"
Jing Hui said in confusion: "Is there such an ancient saying? I have never heard of it. What is a temple?"
Chen Xiao then remembered that although there was a world of immortal cultivation in this world, there was no Taoism and Buddhism. The Taoist and Buddhist practitioners here did not need offerings from pilgrims, so naturally there were no temples.
Chen Xiao waved his hands helplessly, "I'm too lazy to explain to you! Yan Xing, take me to find Er Shun."
He and Yan Xing left directly. Jing Hui sighed towards Liu Lang, "See? Your master is really hard to serve. I helped him but made a mistake."
Liu Lang wisely remained silent. Anything he said at this moment would be wrong.
The architectural style of the Shaokun Mountain, the fifth mountain of the Zhongxuan Sect, is similar to that of a palace, and its scale is only slightly smaller than the several large halls of the Jikun Mountain mentioned above.
Ershun had never lived in such a luxurious place. He did not sleep well all night and was afraid of breaking the bed when he turned over.
Wan Qing was even more frightened than her. She was holding the basin which was made of something other than gold or jade, and she was so tense that her whole body ached.
Everything he saw was beyond Ershun's imagination.
My originally determined heart was shaken in this environment, and I couldn't help but feel inferior and unconfident. Am I, such an ordinary person, worthy of my brother from the Wu family who eats gold and swallows jade and lives a life of cultivating immortals?
With such worries, when Chen Xiao reappeared and wanted to take her to see Wu Xinzhi, her anxiety reached its peak, and her fear gave birth to courage.
The worst that can happen is a letter of cancellation of the engagement and returning to my hometown to spend the rest of my life!
"Brother Xiao, I'm ready, let's go!" Er Shun put on her brand new dress like a battle armor, straightened her back, and looked like she was going to the battlefield.
Chen Xiao looked at Ershun who was dressed up carefully, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, the journey is quite far for you, I have asked someone to prepare a flying sedan. Besides..." He looked at the others, "Only Ershun and I can go, you don't have to go."
Wan Qing showed a look of disappointment, her lips moved slightly, but she did not dare to beg.
Shen Yanxing and Liu Lang gave Ershun some words of encouragement.
During their time together, they all had a favorable impression of this gentle and tenacious girl and hoped that she could achieve her dreams. Of course, they also secretly thought that if things didn't go well, they would represent the Chen family to beat Wu Xinzhi up.
Chen Xiao is older than me, so it is not convenient for him to take action. If there is anything, I will do the work for you.
Xi Yunting on the other hand came to Liu Shaoguang's cave, which was also located in Shaokun Mountain.
After Tai Su succeeded as the head, Liu Shaoguang's status rose rapidly, from an ordinary head to a powerful figure. At that time, he moved from the third mountain where the inner disciples lived to the current cave.
When Xi Yunting was young, his master had no time to discipline him, so he came here to lay the foundation with his senior brother and lived here for a long time.
Liu Shaoguang is very close to Xi Yunting. His disciples all know how much their master values Xi Yunting, so when they saw him barging in, they didn't dare to stop him.
Xi Yunting entered Liu Shaoguang's study room unimpeded. Liu Shaoguang said without even looking up, "Junior brother, why did you find time to come to my place? Are you short of spirit stones?"
Xi Yunting stood in front of his huge desk, using his heavy power to force Liu Shaoguang to raise his head. He asked Liu Shaoguang seriously, "When was the last time you went to see Master?"
Liu Shaoguang frowned and said, "Three months ago, what happened?"
Liu Shaoguang is extremely busy. He has to deal with affairs and maintain high-intensity practice, leaving him with almost no free time.
Therefore, Xi Yunting was not surprised that he had only seen his master once in three months.
"Did Master behave abnormally at that time?"
Liu Shaoguang's expression also became serious: "Nothing unusual."
Xi Yunting asked again: "Brother, do you know when Master started his retreat recently?"
If the master was really in seclusion, Liu Shaoguang would not have told him yesterday! Even if he had not seen Tai Su recently, someone would have told him whether Tai Su was in seclusion.
As expected, Liu Shaoguang said in surprise: "Master is in seclusion again?"
Xi Yunting closed his eyes, rubbed his brows, and said worriedly: "The gatekeeper disciple at Master's place said that he has been in seclusion for more than a month. I'm afraid that Master doesn't want to see me and is making up an excuse at the last minute."
Just saying that she had started her retreat yesterday or today was like trying to cover up her guilt, and it was clear that she didn't want to see him. So Tai Su found an excuse, but it was too lame and Xi Yunting saw through it right away.
Liu Shaoguang wanted to laugh, but couldn't. "How could Master not want to see you?"
Xi Yunting was not joking, his expression became more serious, "Before I left last time, I noticed that Master was getting older and older, and I was afraid that the situation would get worse, so I didn't want you to find out."
Liu Shaoguang was taught by Tai Su himself, and Tai Su had a strong prestige in his heart, so Liu Shaoguang never thought that there was any problem with Tai Su's cultivation and the possibility of hiding it from him!
At this time, the disciples of Shaokun Mountain on the other side delivered the flying chariot.
The one who arrived with the flying chariot was Zhao Fang. Chen Xiao exchanged a few words with him, and then the three of them got on the flying chariot and flew towards the first mountain, Bokun Mountain.
This flying chariot is the legendary flying magic tool, and it is a relatively high-end and comfortable one.
By the time we arrived at Mount Bokun, it was almost evening. Red clouds were rolling in the sky, dyeing half the sky red.
"A sunset cloud." Chen Xiao looked at it from a distance before turning around and helping Er Shun get off the flying chariot.
The girl's hands were cold, and her palms were covered in sweat. Her face looked pretty good under the red glow of the sky.
Chen Xiao helped her stand steadily and whispered in her ear: "Don't be nervous, I'll support you." Chen Xiao now has the confidence to say this.
Ershun looked at him gratefully, and his tense state, which was about to cramp, finally eased a little.
Chen Xiao let her go and turned to Zhao Fang and said, "How are we going to find Wu Xinzhi?"
Zhao Fang was now thankful for the preparation he had done. He said quickly, "Senior Chen, please wait a moment. I will ask the manager here to look for them. It may take an hour or so." He looked at the sky and added, "It will be evening soon. Even if they are out practicing, they should be back home soon. It will be easy to find them."
Chen Xiao glanced at Er Shun, who was listening attentively, and nodded.
"Then arrange a place for us to sit and wait."
Wu Xinzhi was not practicing as Zhao Fang said. He was shocked to hear the news about Ershun yesterday. He did not sleep all night and tried every way to use his connections to meet Ershun.
At this moment, he was not at his own residence. He went to the homeland of the group of disciples who entered the inner sect early, hoping to ask them to contact the inner sect disciples.
The steward searched all over the world for him, and was so anxious that his hair turned white, that he finally found him.
"Wu Xinzhi! You're so hard to find!" The manager rushed over angrily, "Follow me quickly, there's a visiting guest who wants to see you!"
Wu Xinzhi stood up suddenly, ecstatic and incredulous, "Is it Ershun?"
"What?" The steward panted. Wu Xinzhi hurriedly asked, "Is it a girl?"
The steward put his hands on his waist and took a deep breath, then nodded: "It was a girl who came with a fairy master with outstanding temperament."
Wu Xinzhi could no longer hear anything, so he rushed out, then came running back in a moment, anxiously asking, "Where are they?"
The manager was both angry and amused: "Why are you panicking? The person is right there, he won't disappear!"
Wu Xinzhi felt embarrassed by the laughter, so he calmed down and politely saluted the steward: "I was impatient, please don't blame me, steward."
The manager hummed, made a slight move, and then stopped, taking Wu Xinzhi with him to the place where Chen Xiao and the other two were resting.
