Chapter 545 Abandoning Ruthlessness (15)
"Cang Ji asked me to come to the Sea Clan to search for elixirs." Mo Jinwu lowered his eyes to look at her, "Come to gain experience?"
"Yes, I've been here for a year." Song Xianning crossed her legs and took a sip of wine. "Senior Brother Mo has never asked about my affairs before, so why did he suddenly ask today?"
Mo Jinwu's eyes moved, and a hint of ice covered his eyes. The skill quietly eliminated all emotions that were not conducive to its operation.
Song Xianning tilted her head to look at his cold face, put the bottle down, stood up and approached him, and asked again: "Brother Mo, have you found the elixir you were looking for?"
"Yeah." Still in a cold and indifferent tone.
"Then why don't you return to the sect?"
"I noticed the flashing of the summons, and came to see that the peach blossoms on Guanchen Peak are blooming."
"So?" she asked with a bright smile, and the lights of thousands of cities were reflected in her curved eyes.
Pursing his lips, he asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"
"Mo Jinwu, if it's not necessary, could you please..." She stopped in front of him, her eyes half drunken and half sober with a natural smile, "Don't show up in front of me?"
Mo Jinwu was slightly surprised, and a sense of helplessness suddenly rose in his heart, "Why?"
"If you can't give me the response I want, then don't care about me at all, and don't say anything that will make me think that you have feelings for me. Otherwise, I will have unrealistic thoughts again and again, and all the thoughts I have tried hard to suppress will be wasted." Song Xianning turned back to get the wine bottle, turned around and walked along the roof into the night.
"You are stronger than me. Before you approached me, you already knew who the person was that the summons had detected. After you confirmed it, you didn't need to come looking for me."
"Can you please save my dignity? I don't want to lose my composure in front of you. Brother Mo, goodbye." Her voice gradually grew colder and dissipated with the ocean current.
Mo Jinwu stood there and frowned. A strange emotion emerged in his eyes, but was quickly suppressed.
He looked inward for a long time to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his body before leaving the Sea King City.
As they walked a little further, a gust of wind blew in their face, and Song Xianning sobered up a little. She realized it belatedly and felt a little annoyed.
I was looking forward to seeing him from time to time, thinking that I couldn't get close to him, and just looking at him from a distance would be enough. However, when I saw him, I felt so wronged that I told him a mixture of truth and nonsense.
Song Xianning threw away the wine bottle and sat on the roof to enjoy the breeze.
Raising her hand and feeling the wind passing through her fingers, Song Xianning sighed.
A blue shadow landed beside her. Song Xianning turned to look. "This is the third time we meet, His Majesty the Sea Emperor. Today is His Majesty the Sea Emperor's birthday. Why are you here?"
Lan Yi was surprised, "Did you guess it was me that day?"
"Your Majesty, your voice is not disguised." Song Xianning smiled and did not ask why he was here. "How can there be wind in the sea? May I know?"
"It's the wind from the sea, transmitted down through the formation, mimicking the wind at the bottom of the sea."
"I'm even more curious about this formation. When I came here, I went around the outer city and the secondary city for a long time before entering the inner city."
Lan Yi smiled and said nothing. The formation was a secret, so how could he tell her?
Song Xianning glanced at him again, then looked away, "Your Majesty, was that bottle of wine specially delivered to me?"
"That's not the case. You just happened to drink that bottle of wine." Lan Yi lifted his robe and casually sat cross-legged on the roof with her. "Whoever drinks it will receive compensation, oh no, a lucky gift."
Song Xianning took out the lucky gift, put it on her fingertips and twirled it. The azure bracelet emitted a soft glow. "Your Majesty let it slip. I guessed right. This is the compensation. Could that bottle of wine be your Majesty's bad taste?"
"I guessed it." Lan Yi said with a smile, "Those elders and guards don't like to drink it, so it's a waste."
"..." Song Xianning was silent for a moment, so he used it to harm the guests?
His Majesty the Sea King is quite... unique. First he sneaked over the wall to go out and play, and then he used strange-smelling wine to prank the guests.
"It sounds like your Majesty is very familiar with me from his words and attitude."
"Fellow Daoist Song can often be seen in the image stones sent back by the Sixteenth Palace Guardians."
"Oh, I'm really flattered that His Majesty the Sea Emperor calls me a fellow Taoist." Song Xianning turned her head and looked at him again. His Majesty the Sea Emperor loved to laugh, which was very different from the serious look she had seen before during the Four Clans Competition.
Lan Yi didn't say anything else. He sat beside her for a while and then left. "It was a pleasure chatting with Fellow Daoist Song. I'll come to see Fellow Daoist Song next time to reminisce about the past."
Song Xianning:? ?
Happy? She didn't seem to have much to reminisce about with him.
I don’t know what’s so special about her that His Majesty the Sea King noticed it.
After wandering around the Sea King City for half a month, every night when I was looking at the different lights on different rooftops, Lan Yi would appear quietly, chat for a few words, and then leave.
Because she had been squatting at the foot of the wall that day and had thought about how to dig out the spiritual plants that coexisted with the formation on the wall, and was happened to be seen by Lan Yi, Song Xianning thought that Lan Yi regarded her as a spy who came to the sea clan to steal the secrets of the formation, so he came to her every day to secretly extort information from her.
"Your Majesty, I will be leaving the Sea King City tomorrow. Please don't come looking for me. I'm really not here to steal the secrets of the Sea Clan."
Lan Yi was stunned when he heard this, "Why would you think so?"
Song Xianning was a little puzzled, "Isn't it?"
Seeing her puzzled expression, Lan Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "No, I just feel more relaxed when I'm with you. I don't treat you as a spy."
"We've met so many times, and since we had such pleasant conversations, can we be considered friends?"
Song Xianning didn't expect things to develop like this, "You want to be friends with me?"
"Why, can't I? Can I call you by your name?"
Song Xianning looked at him for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
It's someone else's territory, what else can I do?
"Then why don't you just call me by my name? Calling me Your Majesty all the time sounds so distant."
Seeing his sincere expression, Song Xianning nodded, "Okay, I'll leave at dawn."
"Why don't you stay in the Sea King City for a while longer?"
"I'm here to gain experience, and I haven't traveled all over the world yet."
"Aren't you interested in battle formations? As a friend, I can let you study something less important."
Song Xianning became alert, "Are you planning something?"
"What are you thinking? Do you want me to use the reputation of the Sea King as a guarantee?"
Song Xianning shook her head. "Since you've said so, it would be disrespectful to refuse."
Lan Yi smiled and stood up, "Then follow me."
Song Xianning followed Lan Yi to the Sea Emperor Palace. Lan Yi sent a formation master to explain to her. She stayed in the Sea Emperor City for another month and was warmly received by Lan Yi during this period.
When leaving, Lan Yi gave her a spiritual plant that she was interested in.
Song Xianning handed him a set of skills. "I won't let you suffer any loss. I found this set of skills in the secret realm. It's quite high-level, but it's useless to me. It just happens to correspond to your spiritual root attributes. As the Sea King, you should have many treasures, but friends should also give and take."
"Since you've said so, I'll take it. Let me know when you leave Sihai and I'll see you off."
