Chapter 167: Apprentice vs. Immortal (44)
"Why haven't the marchers arrived yet? How long will it take?"
"We're almost there, right? We should be at the street ahead."
"That's good. We've been waiting for several hours, and we can finally see you."
The people around were chattering non-stop, the weather seemed to have gotten a little colder, and the hot air they exhaled condensed into white mist, slowly dissipating.
Xu Jinxiao stood in the crowd, his right hand tightly clasped with Chu Junhe's. He looked at the scene in front of him seemingly unintentionally, his heart filled with joy.
He couldn't help but glance at Chu Junhe from the corner of his eye. He was a little taller than Chu Junhe and could clearly see Chu Junhe's long eyelashes drooping, sparkling in the sunlight, and a layer of warm halo on his cold white cheeks.
The more Xu Jinxiao looked at him, the more he liked him. He kept wondering how there could be such a good-looking person.
Chu Junhe's eyes were long and narrow. He stood quietly in the crowd, allowing the young man beside him to look at him.
The people around them were laughing and talking, but the two of them stood there quietly, and no one took the initiative to speak.
After a while, a strange but pleasant music came from not far away, and the two looked over curiously.
A three-meter-tall orange ceramic statue first appeared in the field of vision, carried by four strong men. There were also several people playing different musical instruments around it, and two people dancing in the front.
These people were all wearing the same orange clothes and marched slowly through the streets.
Xu Jinxiao and the other person were both tall and had long legs, so they could easily see the entire scene. There were also many people around them who were trying to crane their necks to see.
The moment the statue appeared, the crowd burst into huge cheers, and as it passed by, people carrying flowers on the street threw petals from their baskets.
For a moment, it seemed like a rain of orange petals was falling, fluttering down.
"Wow! Here it comes, it's the statue of the God of Autumn!"
"Make a wish quickly! The Autumn God will surely bless us!"
Xu Jinxiao watched with great interest. Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Chu Junhe.
Make a wish?
Most of the people around him closed their eyes and made wishes quietly. He couldn't help but smile and made a wish as well.
What wish would you make? It would definitely be to be with my wife forever.
Upon seeing this, Chu Junhe quietly closed his eyes, and the next second he suddenly felt it was ridiculous that he, the most powerful master in the immortal sect, would actually make a wish to a statue.
He shook his head and slowly opened his eyes. He didn't need to make a wish to anyone, and no one had the ability to help him.
Xu Jinxiao came closer to him and asked, "Master, what wish did you make just now?"
He opened his thin lips and said lightly: "Nothing."
Xu Jinxiao stood up in disappointment, and couldn't help but feel curious about what wish his wife had made.
When the statue of the God of Autumn passed by, the place was bustling with people and the rich fragrance of flowers spread.
The parade slowly passed by them, and people quickly dispersed to go elsewhere to play.
Xu Jinxiao also took Chu Junhe for a walk. There was a lantern riddle guessing stall in the afternoon, and if you won, you would receive an exquisite maple leaf lantern.
Chu Junhe glanced at it casually. The bright red maple leaf lamp must be a perfect match for the young man beside him. If he could get it...
"Master, let's go and take a look!"
Xu Jinxiao keenly noticed his pause and immediately took the initiative to propose.
The two rushed over, and Xu Jinxiao took it down with one move. "Master, this is for you."
Chu Junhe looked at the handsome young man in red clothes holding a maple leaf lantern, smiling at him.
Chu Junhe looked deeply at the scene in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave the scene in front of him deep into his memory.
After a moment, he reached out and pressed the young man's hand, pushing it back, "You hold it, it's more suitable."
Xu Jinxiao was stunned for a moment, but still obediently took it back.
Night fell quickly, and the whole city was lit up with orange lanterns. Every corner was shrouded in a warm yellow halo, and walking in it was like walking in an orange ocean.
The two of them walked hand in hand on the street, and unknowingly walked onto a bridge. The river below was full of river lanterns of various shapes and colors, floating slowly along the gentle river water.
Xu Jinxiao stood by the bridge and watched quietly, and Chu Junhe beside him did the same.
The two admired it for a moment, then continued strolling. Before they knew it, they came to a sparsely populated area where a huge tree stood, with countless red ribbons hanging on it.
"You two, buy a ribbon and tie it on the tree to pray for blessings. It works very well."
A man came trotting towards them, holding a bundle of ribbons in his hand.
Xu Jinxiao bought two immediately. Looking at the ribbons in his hand, he thought to himself, I hope they can really bring good luck.
Late at night, the two returned to the inn and continued their journey early the next morning.
We soon arrived at Yougu Waterfall. Yougu Waterfall is a treasure land for cultivating water spirit roots, so one needs to pass a test and not everyone can enter.
However, Xu Jinxiao's strength in the late Jindan stage naturally allowed him to walk in easily and without any obstacles.
Suddenly, rich water spiritual power enveloped the two of them. At this time, there were already several people practicing, but everyone lived in peace with each other. This was the hidden rule of this treasure land for cultivation.
The towering waterfall in front of me is as blue as water, as if it is flying down from the sky and falling into a huge pool below, splashing huge water. The water in the pool is bottomless and it is unknown how deep it is. It is freezing cold.
Xu Jinxiao came to the side of the pond in a big way, and others couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
After all, the closer you get to the waterfall, the colder it gets, but the water's spiritual power also becomes stronger. If you want to practice efficiently, you must be very strong.
Xu Jinxiao came to the edge of the pond and sat on the ground, and Chu Junhe followed.
"Master, even though we're traveling, we still can't lose our strength. Let's practice together!"
Xu Jinxiao said this and patted the seat next to him.
Chu Junhe pursed his lips silently and sat down next to him.
After practicing for a few days, his spiritual power became a little thinner, and most of it was absorbed by him, and then he set off to other places.
Next, he either went to the holy land to practice or went to the secret realm to kill monsters and steal treasures to improve his strength. Half a month passed unknowingly.
The two hurried to the sect. After returning to the sect, they met Qin Yun'er by chance, and a flash of lightning struck his mind.
Oh no! I forgot about the female protagonist being attacked by a female disciple!
He is not in the sect. Has the previous matter been resolved?
Qin Yun'er took the initiative to walk towards him, her beautiful eyes full of confusion, "Big Brother, where have you been? I haven't seen you for so long."
"Ahem, I went out to practice with Master. By the way, how did the powder turn out?"
Qin Yuner smiled and said, "She has already been punished. She said that she bought the powder because she was too depressed."
Xu Jinxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, but what she said was probably an excuse. I still have to be wary of her in the future."
Qin Yuner smiled and nodded, "I know, Senior Brother."
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Xu Jinxiao was about to leave with Chu Junhe when Qin Yun'er blocked his way, raising her innocent face. "Big Brother, I have some questions about my cultivation that I need your guidance on. Are you free now?"
Xu Jinxiao looked at Chu Junhe in embarrassment. The latter had a blank expression and no emotion could be seen.
