Chapters 947 and 948: A Fleeting Moment
Xie Qingui glanced at Mu Jingshen's ever-cold face and sighed, "You're still the same as you were five years ago, always with the same expression..."
"We're having a welcome dinner for Rong Yu tonight, and we'll finally get together. Can't you at least put on a little nicer face?"
Mu Jingshen raised an eyebrow slightly, put down his teacup, and the coldness on his handsome face softened a little: "I heard that you and Fusang are getting engaged soon, is that right?"
Xie Qingui's ears turned red. He coughed lightly and immediately poured tea for Mu Jingshen: "...How did you, the guy who's constantly being sent by the sect to protect the royal family, hear so much news?!"
"Your happy news will spread throughout the entire Lingyun Kingdom; it will be hard for anyone not to know."
"..."
Yun Fusang also showed a rare hint of shyness, and she silently raised her eyes to look at Xie Qingui beside her.
Just then, Xie Qingui was also looking at her, and their eyes met unexpectedly.
Mu Jingshen looked at Xie Qingui and Yun Fusang, who were blushing, and smiled slightly.
Five years ago, after spending three months in the Absolute Cold Pool, he was finally released by his master.
After he came out, his body was corroded by the ten-thousand-year-old ice energy in the Absolute Cold Pool. He couldn't even hold a sword, let alone use spiritual energy. He could only recuperate at the Ten Thousand Swords Sect for half a year before he recovered.
Since then, he has devoted himself to cultivation with his master for three whole years. During these three years, he has only left the Ten Thousand Swords Sect a handful of times, and he feels as if he is isolated from the world.
One day, he had a long talk with his master and learned that because he and Xiao Fei were teammates, the Holy Sect had caused trouble for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect more than once.
It turns out that his master made the difficult decision to keep him in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect in order to protect him.
Later, he was invited by the royal family of Lingyun Kingdom to become their exclusive bodyguard.
And that young girl who had once fought alongside him was buried deep within his heart.
He remembered that on the day he heard the news of Ye Fei's death, he sat alone in the Wan Jian Sect's confinement room for a whole night.
He didn't want to believe her death, but he couldn't help but lament the unpredictability of life.
He was born to slay demons, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it with Ye Fei.
That same night, he felt a deep sorrow for this fleeting girl.
...
There was a knock on the door of the private room, pulling Mu Jingshen back to reality.
Xie Qingui immediately got up and went to open the door. Standing outside the door was Huang Rongyu, dressed in a green robe. He took off his veil, revealing his long, snow-white hair, and looked at him.
"You're finally back!"
Xie Qingui happily hugged his good brother, not forgetting to curse, "You bastard, you've disappeared completely in the past five years! I don't believe you don't even have the skill of telepathy!"
Huang Rongyu smiled gently, just as before: "It was my fault, I apologize."
"Come in quickly, everyone's waiting for you... Huh?"
Xie Qingui's surprised gaze fell on the young woman and the boy in white behind Huang Rongyu: "Are these two your friends?"
Huang Rongyu narrowed her eyes: "Let's go inside first, and we can talk slowly later."
The door was closed, and Huang Rongyu cast a soundproofing spell.
Seeing his actions, Xie Qin Gui suddenly became curious about the identities of the two strangers in front of him: "Guests are welcome, how should we address you?"
The boy in white smiled and said, "My name is Hua Ling."
"Painting Spirit? That's an interesting name... And this young lady..."
Before Xie Qin Gui could finish speaking, Ye Fei took out the Mirror of Myriad Phenomena and restored it to its original state.
Xie Qingui froze on the spot when he saw the familiar face. It took him a while to react before he exclaimed in surprise, "Xiao Fei? It's...it's you?!"
