Chapter 98
In the Guixu Immortal Realm, one can shatter the void and travel thousands of miles in one breath, but Chu Jinglan did not take Xiao Mo with him and teleport to the Jinxiu Pavilion in Baichuan City in the blink of an eye. Instead, he summoned a flying boat, took Xiao Mo's hand, and boarded the boat.
Obviously prepared to go through it at a leisurely pace.
The flying boat was still the one left by the Moon Lord. It was made of top-notch materials, but it was not very large. If it was mixed in with the group of boats, it would definitely not be the most conspicuous one.
After getting on the boat, Xiao Moben subconsciously wanted to let go of Chu Jinglan's hand and sit down opposite Chu Jinglan, but he let go of her hand, but Chu Jinglan did not.
With this delay, Xiao Mo had no choice but to sit down next to Chu Jinglan.
A sword puppet walked out of the flying boat and raised his hand to make tea for the two people.
The sword puppet wore an iron mask and was silent. Although it was a high-level puppet, its cultivation and aura even surpassed Xiao Mo, and its movements were no different from those of an ordinary person, the aura of silence on its body was too obvious, heavy and thick.
Xiao Mo was held by Chu Jinglan's hand, and sat beside him, so it was inconvenient for him to look into his eyes. He stroked his teacup. The bustling streets were gone, and it was just the two of them. Xiao Mo finally made a serious opening statement: "Did you see the letter I left before?"
"Yeah." Chu Jinglan began to place the spiritual food out of the storage container.
At the speed of the flying boat, it wouldn't take much time to travel fifty miles, but he still had to put the spiritual food out.
Xiao Mo: "Before, oh no, I should say what happened back then, I can explain it."
Chu Jinglan didn't seem to care at all. He was using his spiritual consciousness to select the best spiritual food in the storage container: "You tell me."
His casual and easy-going tone made Xiao Mo relax a lot. Originally, Xiao Mo was worried that in Chu Jinglan's eyes, the two of them were separated by 300 years, and he was afraid that a wrong word would make them seem unfamiliar. However, after meeting again, Chu Jinglan acted as if they really just parted yesterday and met again today.
"I am actually an outsider. I entered the world for important matters. The inner demon is just an accidental and temporary identity. At first, I forgot some things, but then I slowly remembered my mission. In the past, I couldn't tell you due to the law, but now I can." Xiao Mo didn't know that Chu Jinglan had recovered his previous memory. He explained the situation in simple and easy-to-understand words, "After recovering from the inner demon, I went to a place and stayed there for only a short while, maybe less than half a day. I hurried back, but I didn't expect that three hundred years had passed in this world."
Chu Jinglan's hand paused as he opened the food box.
Less than half a day?
Xiao Mo finally finished his story: "What I wanted to do has been completed unexpectedly, and there is no need for me to do anything. From now on, I am the real person here and I will never leave."
After Xiao Mo finished speaking, he found that Chu Jinglan had no reaction or reply, so he turned his head to look at him: "Chu Jinglan?"
"...I see. I won't leave. That's good." Chu Jinglan said in a steady voice. One hand had already dug its nails into the palm of his hand through his sleeve, and the other hand slowly released Xiao Mo's palm. "I'm going to get something from another room."
Xiao Mo had no doubts: "Yeah."
Chu Jinglan walked quickly to the door, and just before he stepped out of the door, he stopped. He wanted to turn his head, but his face was only half turned to the side, and his neck was stiff. He refused to move, but he still insisted on finishing his words: "Wait for me here."
Xiao Mo: “Okay.”
Xiao Mo had no intention of going to the deck to enjoy the scenery for the time being, so he would naturally sit here and wait for Chu Jinglan.
After Qiuqiu got on board, he stepped on a flower basket by the window as a decoration. After Chu Jinglan left, he heard their conversation. Hearing Xiao Mo's familiar voice and seeing Chu Jinglan's attitude towards Xiao Mo, he asked hesitantly, "You, you are..."
Xiao Mo smiled at it and said, "Qiuqiu, it's me."
Chu Jinglan did hear the sudden scream of Qiuqiu in the room behind him, but he could not care about it for the time being. As soon as he entered the other room, Chu Jinglan immediately set up a soundproof barrier, and then with a "bang", he pressed his hand hard on the table.
He clenched his fingers and carved deep grooves on the hard black stone table. His fingertips were pale, just like his current face.
Half a day, for Xiao Mo, their separation was no more than half a day.
But when they met again today, the look in his eyes was so shaken and nostalgic. He thought, he thought Xiao Mo also spent three hundred years somewhere else.
Chu Jinglan gritted his teeth, and deep cracks began to appear on the Xuan stone table top.
So in Xiao Mo's eyes, what he saw half a day ago was still himself three hundred years ago.
Chu Jinglan herself couldn't even remember what Chu Jinglan was like three hundred years ago. Where could he find the Chu Jinglan of the past for Xiao Mo?
“Bang!”
The extremely hard black Xuan stone that could be used to forge weapons was turned into powder by Chu Jinglan and fell to the ground.
Black gravel rolled to the ground. Chu Jinglan breathed heavily and raised his eyes to meet the mirror in the room.
His facial muscles were tense and his eyes were filled with hostility. Even though Chu Jinglan almost forgot what he used to look like, he knew that this was definitely not the case.
Stubborn and ugly.
Chu Jinglan couldn't bear it any longer and raised his hand. The mirror shattered and hit the ground, with debris splashing everywhere.
The former Chu Jinglan can't be found again, but... why must he be the former one?
Afraid that Xiao Mo would be scared away? But sooner or later he would see his true appearance.
No, you shouldn't worry about that. Xiao Mo is just a Yuan baby now. Even if he is really frightened, he can't escape from him.
Chu Jinglan's fingers loosened a little bit, and his expression gradually smoothed out.
Xiao Mo said that he would not leave the world of cultivation, which is good. Even if Xiao Mo hates Chu Jinglan for who he is now after discovering his true identity, he will never let him leave his side.
If you want something, just go and grab it. He has waited long enough and doesn't want to wait any longer.
Never let Xiao Mo leave again, never.
Chu Jinglan's shocked expression calmed down again. He waved his hand, smoothed the mess in the room, picked up an incense burner, and carried it back to the room.
In the room, the tea was still steaming, and Qiuqiu had already recognized Xiao Mo as his relative. The bird, which was over 300 years old, was crying loudly and had really turned into a ball.
"I still remember how comfortable your shoulder was. After you left, no one stroked my hair anymore. Woohoo, and the master, even though he's so famous, he's so lonely around him. The sword puppets are all made of iron and can't talk..."
Xiao Mo was rubbing Qiuqiu's head with his hand when Chu Jinglan walked into the room, put down the incense burner, and lit the incense that could calm the mind.
When Qiuqiu saw Chu was shocked, he sobbed, shook his feathers, and couldn't continue speaking.
Although he didn't say anything bad about his master, he inexplicably felt guilty as if he had been caught talking, so he quickly shut his mouth and just enjoyed Xiao Mo's flattery.
Chu Jinglan glanced at it with a calm look, really without any expression, but seeing the feathers of the ball explode, it immediately flew out from under Xiao Mo's hand cleverly, shrank back into the flower basket, pretending that it didn't exist.
When Xiao Mo heard Qiuqiu say that Chu Jinglan was lonely, he whispered, "Chu Jinglan, is there any special reason why the Du'e Sect doesn't accept disciples?"
It occupies a vast tract of land and is not just a small sect. Not only does it not accept disciples, but even Yan Chun Chu Xia and Mo Zhi were rejected. Until now, they can only find a place to stay at the foot of the mountain gate. Chu Jinglan is the only one guarding such a large place, all alone.
"I don't have the heart to teach others right now." Chu Jinglan stared at Xiao Mo with his dark eyes, "There are other reasons... I'll tell you later."
Chu Jinglan motioned for him to look out the window: "We've arrived at Baichuan City."
In Baichuan City, Jinxiu Pavilion is holding a treasure banquet today. The whole city is very lively and everyone is benefiting from it. The Jade Stage is the main banquet venue and is used to entertain distinguished guests.
Originally, the banquet should have been held long ago on the Jade Stage, but at this moment, whether it was the head of the Jinxiu Pavilion or the distinguished guests from other aristocratic families, they were all waiting without complaint and looking forward to it with their heads cocked.
Chu Xianzun, that Chu Xianzun is coming! It is simply a blessing in disguise. It is worth it no matter how long they wait!
Originally, many people imagined that there would be some grand scene when Chu Xianzun appeared. It was said that Chu Xianzun had a black iron flying boat, which was pitch black and murderous, and as spacious as a city fortress. When he went to the battlefield in the Demon Realm, the black iron flying boat covered the sky and the sun, and Chu Jinglan and two hundred sword puppets dominated the battlefield. Just one look at it made people feel breathless.
I wonder if I will be lucky enough to see such a scene today. Even if I will be scared to death, as long as I don’t really die, I can take a look at it and brag about it to others!
There were quite a lot of guests at the treasure banquet in Jinxiu Pavilion. People from the six Yunduan sects and the major sects of the Immortal Alliance came to appreciate and collect treasures. Yue Ming, as one of the mainstays of the Yingyue Sect, was also present.
He couldn't help but confirm with Wang Yichen again: "Is the news true?"
"It's absolutely true." Wang Yichen said, "When have you ever seen Jinxiu Pavilion selling fake news?"
"I'm just kind of... well, incredulous."
Yue Ming stared at the sky and sighed: "To be honest, if he can really come out, it would be a good thing, as long as he is not a person with bad intentions."
Wang Yichen unfolded his folding fan: "I've also thought of another possibility, is it possible that Chu Jinglan found a substitute, so it can't be considered true love?"
Yue Ming frowned: "He is not that kind of person."
Wang Yichen gently waved his folding fan: "Love is the most tormenting word. Three hundred years ago, do you still remember what he did when someone insulted Mo Lan out of anger after his plan to please him failed?"
Yue Ming thought of the scene that day and remained silent.
At that time, Chu Jinglan had not yet become an immortal. It was precisely because of this that some people dared to provoke him. Not only did they try to use despicable means on him, they even made a fuss about his dead Taoist partner.
But soon no one dared to do so.
Because they have all witnessed Chu Jinglan's power and his madness.
Madmen are always hysterical, crazy, bursting and erupting, but after seeing Chu Jinglan, they realized that someone can be so crazy and cold that it can chill people's backs.
Chu Jinglan was neither angry nor smiling when he killed the enemies. He did not seem to want to kill anyone, but he killed them very easily, as if he could kill anyone present.
When Yue Ming knew that they had found a miraculous medicine and even wanted to influence Chu Jinglan's memory, he became furious and even drew his sword to kill someone himself. However, he was shocked by the way Chu Jinglan killed people later.
It wasn't brutal, just one sword, but it was terrifying enough.
Wang Yichen put away the fan bit by bit: "Those of us who are familiar with him know that his temper has been too dead since he became an immortal. You have been with him longer than I have, and you said that his temperament changed drastically after his Taoist partner died. As time goes by, who knows if he has figured it out, or has become even crazier?"
Chu Jinglan brought the Golden Silk Diagram out of the Nine Secret Pagoda and became the great benefactor of the Wang family. Wang Yichen loved talented people, so he frequently contacted Chu Jinglan in the name of repaying his gratitude. Even if Chu Jinglan treated him coldly, he would always get close to her.
Later, Chu Jinglan established the Du'e Sect. Sometimes he would come to Chu Jinglan with wine, and occasionally he would be kicked out of the sect.
Wang Yichen always patted his clothes without caring, and said to others: "He just knocked me down, and I was neither injured nor killed. This shows that he is not really angry. I can still talk to the Immortal Venerable."
Yue Ming touched the hilt of the sword impatiently: "Anyway, I hope it's a good thing."
He turned his head and said to Jun Bushu beside him, "Fortune teller, why don't you tell me your fortune?"
Jun Bushu still looked sickly: "There is nothing, no way to calculate. Even if I want to estimate something, at least I have to see the two of them."
"I hope it's a good thing too." Wang Yichen said, "But we have to see for him. Chu Xianzun is invincible, and his only weakness is the old wound in his heart. He can't stand any tragic torture, so here it comes-"
There was no grand ceremony. What came was just a medium-sized flying boat. Others could not recognize it, but Wang Yichen, Yue Ming and the others could recognize it.
The flying boat stopped in mid-air. Before some people could react, Wang Yichen had already led the people from Jinxiu Pavilion to salute first, saying loudly, "Welcome Immortal Chu!"
The others just reacted and said in unison: "Welcome Immortal Chu!"
He was wearing silver clothes and a jade crown, wearing a sword at dawn, and his face was as cold as frost. It was definitely Chu Xianzun, but there was someone beside him.
I thought Chu Xianzun's face was the best in the world, but when I saw the people around him, I realized that there are always people better than you and there are always mountains better than you. They are different from Chu Xianzun and have a completely different kind of beauty.
Dancing in red, with graceful figure and melodious voice under the rosy clouds and moon.
One is frost and snow, the other is the autumn moon, both are unique in the world.
Outsiders only knew that Chu Jinglan was coming, but they didn't know that Chu Jinglan brought a living person with him.
They did not dare to raise their heads when they were paying their respects, until Chu Jinglan walked up to them. When they saw him, they were all horrified.
Their focus was not on how good-looking the Immortal Master and that man were, but on their clasped hands.
The two of them came hand in hand.
A living person being held in the hands of Chu Xianzun!
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Xiao Mo: What is this person's origin and what is his relationship with Chu Xianzun!
