Chapter 113 Life is full of unexpected encounters.
Tao Xian was startled. She stared blankly at the man in front of her, a blush rising on her cheeks, and her voice softened, "May I ask who you are...?"
This is the Kunpeng, a spirit beast specially used in the pavilion to receive the Holy Son Ye Wuluo. It can travel tens of thousands of miles in an instant, and those who can sit on it and get off are no ordinary people.
Moreover, the other party was dressed in brocade robes and had an extraordinary demeanor; even she couldn't see through his cultivation level.
"Junior Sister Tao." Ye Wuluo, dressed in red, descended from Kunpeng, his peach blossom eyes sweeping over the stunned woman, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.
Tao Xian looked at Ye Wuluo, who walked out from behind the man in blue. Beneath his graceful demeanor, there was a hint of shyness. She did not hear the coldness in his words, and her bright eyes instead held a gentle, watery quality. "Brother Wuluo."
Sang Wanyue chuckled softly.
She still remembered feeling resentful and sad when she heard the other person address Ye Wuluo that way in her previous life. Even after being reborn, she still had a knot in her heart. Who would have thought that after going to the secret realm, she would completely let go of it.
A cold light appeared on Ye Wuluo's beautiful face. He had naturally heard the laughter. Ignoring the disciples who had gathered around him, he ignored Tao Xian and instead moved closer to Sang Wanyue, leaning down gently and saying, "Come with me."
Tao Xian had already extended halfway, but being ignored like this, her heart sank. Ignoring the gazes of those around her, she clutched her heart to her chest and pretended to be heartbroken.
But she still managed a bitter smile, her voice filled with grievance as she followed behind the two, "Brother Wuluo, have we forgotten me because we haven't seen each other for so long?"
“Be mindful of your status,” Ye Wuluo finally turned around and gave her a proper look. The man standing on the lotus steps looked like a demon under the dappled light of the crystal. Although he had a smile on his lips, it was not warm at all. “Junior Sister Tao, you should still call me Holy Son like everyone else.”
The image of Jianjian's indifferent expression towards him in the Xuan Tian Secret Realm flashed through his mind, and his heart ached again.
After Ye Wuluo finished speaking, he turned and left. The surrounding disciples looked left and right, feeling sorry for Senior Sister Tao but also respecting the Holy Son, not knowing what to do.
"Go and take care of things first, I'll be right there." Sang Wanyue transmitted her voice to Ye Wuluo, and after seeing the man nod helplessly, she left.
She lowered her head and looked down at the woman trembling at the bottom of the lotus steps, then glanced at the people around her who were all looking at her with pity, lost in thought.
He still enjoys acting as always.
Tao Xian lowered her head, using her hair to cover her resentful expression. The sharp, piercing gazes from those around her made her even more ashamed and indignant. She wondered if she should pretend to faint to gain some sympathy.
hateful!
Brother Wuluo didn't treat her like this before!
Throughout the entire Sacred Lotus Pavilion, he only allowed her to call him that. Why did his attitude change so drastically after they came out of the secret realm?
Was it because of the injured woman brought back from the secret realm?
She already has enough of a headache dealing with Mu Jianjian, and now other people are getting involved!
Tao Xian trembled and leaned against the maid beside her. Just as she was about to pretend to faint, her vision was filled with a blue light, and the delicate fragrance of flowers and plants wafted over her. She looked up with a pale face and saw the man in brocade robes who came to help her.
"Miss Tao? Are you alright?" The clear voice matched the other person's appearance. After Tao Xian bit her lip and nodded shyly, the other person seemed to calm down. The smile on her lips disappeared in an instant, like a fleeting moment.
Tao Xian's pupils widened slightly, and she etched that smile into her heart. She nervously pulled away from his embrace and heard the sound of her own heartbeat.
She's never been this close to Brother Wuluo!
After the man spoke to her softly, Tao Xian watched him walk further and further away, and finally couldn't help but ask in a gentle voice, "May I ask your name?"
"Moon Mulberry".
In a blind spot where no one was watching, Sang Wanyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the spot where she had just come into contact with the woman clean.
——
On the west bank of Yingzhou, a wooden boat approached the cargo port in the morning light. Nearly a hundred pale-faced people poured off the boat, but only three people disembarked slowly.
Mu Jianjian slept well for the remaining two days she spent on the ship, and was so energetic that she almost had the illusion that she was traveling with her best friend in a past life.
"See you again someday." Wuhen gave the two a bright smile, clasped his hands in a casual manner, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.
Linghu Zhuoyu held the jade slip containing the message sent back by Duan Yuechi in his hand. Before he could utter his words of gloom, he was interrupted by the girl's clear voice.
"Go take care of your business." Mu Jianjian patted the boy's shoulder. "I haven't been home for several days because of you. I'll come see you after I've finished here."
“Sister, Cai Hua hasn’t fully taken control of Jingxu Garden yet, so it’s not a good time to go there. Why don’t you come with me to Duan Yue Pond first, and then we can go together—”
Linghu Zhuoyu's brows were furrowed with worry for the young girl.
"There's no time. Besides, my real target there isn't Cai Hua. At worst, I can just leave if I'm discovered," Mu Jianjian comforted her.
By the time Linghu Zhuoyu arrives, Jingxu Garden will have already been completely overrun. Moreover, Xuan Shuang recently sent word that Jingxu Garden is recruiting cultivators from Yingzhou as personal disciples—
This is the best opportunity to infiltrate the inner circle.
After bidding farewell to the boy, Mu Jianjian headed north and, after three days of rushing, arrived at the Jingxuyuan sect.
Yingzhou is vast, unlike the other six powerful forces on the mainland. Apart from the capital city where the Demon Lord resides, the other five factions divide the remaining territory into five parts, each led by one of the "Five Eccentrics".
The Jingxu Garden she was about to enter was the place where she had killed Cai Chu in the secret realm. After Cai Chu's death, his sister Cai Hua succeeded him.
More than figuring out who was behind Cai Hua, Mu Jianjian was more concerned about the potion that Lin Changkuo had drunk during the internal strife in the Xuan Shuang Sect.
That kind of potion that can instantly raise one's cultivation level by a grade is high-risk and high-reward. If it were to leak out, it would likely cause turmoil throughout the entire continent.
As Mu Jianjian pondered, she stood at the registration point for entering Jingxu Garden amidst the bustling crowds.
Looking at the people around her, dressed in various colors and speaking in different tones, she knew that the scope of Jingxuyuan's recruitment of disciples was very broad.
The people of Yingzhou dressed much more strangely and revealingly than those from other places. Various strange cultivators, including demonic cultivators, were mixed in. Mu Jianjian came to this conclusion by looking at a woman with a seductive figure.
"Engrave the information on the jade slip, then go over there and wait in line." The man in black handed a sign to Mu Jianjian and gestured to the back with his eyes.
Mu Jianjian gently patted the jade slip on her forehead, engraved the fabricated information on it with her divine sense, handed it to the man in black, and then walked to the square where all sorts of people were gathered.
Just as he stepped into the crowd, a particularly loud male voice rang out from the right amidst the commotion, "This young master came from the west of the continent. On his way, he even encountered the legendary sea monster at Black Sea Cliff, but that sea monster was no match for this young master..."
Mu Jianjian: ...
We may meet again anywhere in life.
