Chapter 165: Apprentice vs. Immortal (42)
There was mist all around him, and a cool breeze blew from all directions. Xu Jinxiao's red clothes were blown by the wind, and the magic sword under his feet carried him quickly through the clouds.
The young man had an extremely handsome face, and his crimson robe made him look free and unrestrained, yet bright and passionate.
Chu Junhe followed beside him, wearing a plain white robe without any decoration, unlike the low-key luxury in the sect.
He caught a glimpse of the young man's attire and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Master, shall we go to Yougu Waterfall first?"
He tilted his head and smiled brightly at Chu Junhe, his perfectly shaped fox eyes narrowed.
The Valley Waterfall is suitable for water spiritual root cultivation and is not far away, so he must go there to practice for a few days first.
Chu Junhe understood after hearing this. It seemed that his disciple's travels were mainly focused on cultivation. This was very good. Cultivation could not be neglected.
She turned her head to look at him, and was about to praise him, but was caught off guard by the young man's smiling eyes. His long eyelashes drooped a little, and a few strands of black hair swept across his handsome face.
Chu Junhe took in his expression and his heart skipped a beat.
The young man's appearance was already superior, and it became even more stunning in recent days. He looked at people with curved eyebrows and eyes, which always seemed to be full of affection and tenderness, entangled and deep like a whirlpool, and he was always unconsciously touched by them.
Being stared at by the young man, his heart beat faster and faster. He looked away as if to cover up, then nodded slightly.
Xu Jinxiao smiled happily, with bright light dancing in his dark pupils.
The two of them walked across the sky together, and gradually the cool clouds and mist dissipated.
Soon the sky brightened, and the warm sunshine sprinkled down, generously illuminating all things on earth.
The two passed through a town, and the bustling scene in the town attracted their attention. Looking down, they saw what looked like a unique orange gem.
Xu Jinxiao was immediately attracted and excitedly pulled Chu Junhe's sleeve and shook it coquettishly.
"Master, let's go down and take a look!"
Of course Chu Junhe couldn't refuse, the key point was that he was also quite curious.
The two flew to the small town together and were curious about its current situation.
In order not to alarm the people, the two men came to the city gate and prepared to line up to enter.
Xu Jinxiao tilted his neck and looked inside with great interest. Chu Junhe stood quietly beside him, and his lips curled up unconsciously as he looked at him.
"This famous festival in Qiuyu City is truly extraordinary. Seeing is believing. I can feel it just by standing at the door."
A tall and thin man who was still waiting in line couldn't help but start a conversation with the people around him.
"Yes, I heard about it a long time ago. I missed the time several times I came here before, but I finally made it this time."
The middle-aged man next to him was slightly plump and dressed luxuriously. He seemed to be from a wealthy family.
"It's far away, isn't it?"
"Of course, there are always breakdowns along the way, but this time we finally made it on time."
The middle-aged man smiled helplessly and shook his head.
"Ahem, excuse me, I happened to be passing by here. Could you tell me some details about the festival?"
Xu Jinxiao's ears moved and he couldn't help but join them.
The tall and thin man turned around and briefly introduced him:
"Little brother, you may not know this, but this city is called Autumn Rain City. Every year at this time, they hold the Autumn Festival to express gratitude for the abundant harvest. The whole city participates in the festival and celebrates."
Xu Jinxiao nodded suddenly. So that's how it was. It was normal for people who depended on food to have this festival.
"Yes, yes, yes. The festival officially begins tomorrow and the city gates will be closed. Today will be the last day people can enter the city as the city is being decorated and cleaned and a banquet will be held for all."
Xu Jinxiao asked in surprise, "So we're lucky to have met by chance?"
"That's right."
Xu Jinxiao couldn't help but smile brightly, and tilted his head to look at Chu Junhe, his fox eyes unblinking, "Master, Brother Chu, you and I are so lucky."
Chu Junhe met the young man's smiling eyes. He was stunned at first when he heard his address, and then he smiled.
Although the team was long, it moved very quickly and the two entered the city in no time.
When you walk into the city, you will see orange everywhere, as if you are trapped in an orange ocean.
Most of the items on the street are orange, and there are two orange lanterns hanging in front of every door, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Xu Jinxiao's dark pupils reflected it, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really good."
Chu Junhe looked around and was dazzled by the beautiful scenery around him. He nodded in agreement.
"Hey, gentlemen, come in and buy a peace amulet to pray for the blessing of the God of Autumn. This is an annual tradition in the city. People will buy a peace amulet for themselves or important people!"
A waiter in orange and white clothes stood in front of a store, enthusiastically selling the store's amulets to the two of them.
Xu Jinxiao raised his eyebrows and had to buy one for his wife.
Without saying a word, he pulled Chu Junhe over and said to the waiter in a very proud manner, "Bring out all the best-looking and most expensive things in the store for me. I want to pick one."
The waiter immediately bent down with a smile, "Okay!"
Xu Jinxiao came to the store, and soon dozens of amulets of different colors were placed in front of him.
He carefully selected for a long time and finally picked out an orange-blue amulet, which was exquisite and beautiful with clear handwriting.
"This is the only one, Brother Chu...you can pick one too."
Xu Jinxiao picked up the amulet, turned to look at Chu Junhe, and looked at him with eyes full of expectation.
"good."
Chu Junhe nodded without hesitation. While Xu Jinxiao was choosing, he was also carefully selecting and immediately picked up a blue one.
Xu Jinxiao looked at his amulet curiously, "Master, have you chosen one so quickly?"
"Um."
"Okay, then these two."
Xu Jinxiao bought it immediately, and the waiter was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, as if he had met the God of Wealth.
The two walked out of the door. Xu Jinxiao clenched his fist, took a deep breath, stopped, handed the amulet in his hand to Chu Junhe, and whispered, "Master, this is for you."
Chu Junhe looked at the amulet in the young man's hand, his eyes widened and his heart was in turmoil. Although he had expected it, he was still very excited.
Xu Jinxiao's forehead was covered with sweat due to nervousness. If his wife didn't accept it, he would definitely be heartbroken.
Just like what the waiter said just now, buy an amulet and give it to the most important person, and now his wife is that person.
Chu Junhe tried his best to control the hand that wanted to reach out, gritted his teeth secretly, "No..."
Xu Jinxiao's pupils shrank. Is his wife really that heartless?
Chu Junhe said quickly: "Don't be so polite, Master has some too."
Without waiting for Xu Jinxiao's reaction, he handed the amulet in his hand to Xu Jinxiao and superimposed it with the original one. "But I don't need it, so I'll give it to you."
Before Xu Jinxiao had time to feel heartbroken, Chu Junhe put his amulets in his hands. He blinked blankly, staring blankly at the two amulets in his hands.
What does his wife mean by this?
Could it be... that he thinks his cultivation is too low?
By the time he reacted, Chu Junhe had already walked away. He quickly put away the amulet and chased after him, "Master, Brother Chu, wait for me!"
The tips of Chu Junhe's ears turned red, and a blush appeared on his cold face. He softened his heart and gave him his amulet. He originally wanted to let him give it up, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't bear to see him sad.
Forget it. It was originally chosen for him. He would feel it would be a pity not to give it to him.
