The voice came so suddenly that Qingluan and Ziyun'er were startled for seconds before their wide-eyed and open-mouthed incomprehension grew into beaming joy. Those nearby who were leaving immediately turned back when they heard the disembodied voice from inside the Gorge, their faces flushed with disbelief. They scrambled back, screaming vainly, "Please! Young Maestro Liancheng! Save us please!"
But there was no more response from the legendary physician. The two little acolytes echoed themselves yet another time again, "The rest of you can come back again after a month..."
Despite the ceaseless mumbles of begging for help, nothing came from inside the grove sprawled inside the Gorge. Realizing their futility, the people got up, looking positively churlish and disappointed as they dragged themselves away. One of the acolytes came to Xiao Chen and beckoned, "This way please, good sir. The Young Master is expecting you."
Qingluan and Ziyun'er
The flames of the candle lamps flickered and wavered gently. But they could hardly sooth or calm Ziyun'er, whose convulsions only grew stronger. Her lithe and slender frame shook as the rest of her pale purplish dress slipped off her, leaving only the soft and tender white skin of her naked body. The folds of her dress fell into a crumble. A heap clinging to her calves. The girls of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon were sworn to celibacy. Even at the pain of death, they were to guard their chastity without fail. Yet now, with only the filmy sheet of the last remaining bodice on her, the bareness of Ziyun'er's body was utterly revealed under the swaying effulgence of the lamps. The deadly assassin now a petite and meek little lass, the womanly curves down her waist could easily make any man water. Not even Liu Liancheng could hold back his placid demeanor. He had never once laid eyes on a little lass of such ravishing beauty and the tears dribbl
"What... are you talking about?" The voice sounded weak and breathy, although it was no less audible in the silence of the night and the suddenness of it was enough to make Qingluan and Ziyun'er jump. The former scurried over to him. "You shouldn't be here, My Lord. The weather is cold outside." Ziyun'er rubbed off her tears and kept her head down when she rejoined them. But her puffy eyes and the two lines of dried tears failed to escape Xiao Chen's notice. "Why are you crying again?" he asked softly, with a hand on the wall of the cave to keep himself still as he convulsed into coughs again. "I just woke up," a sickly him went on, "And I found you both missing. So here am I, looking for you. What happened?" "No-nothing, My Lord. Let me help you. Let's go inside." They went back to the cave. Ziyun'er cowered in a corner, hugging her knees quietly. Xiao Chen propped himself up against the wall of the cave chamber, the chilly se
The air seemed to be frozen by a layer of ice in an instant. The temperature of the atmosphere suddenly dropped. Qingluan and Ziyun'er did not speak. Xiao Chen's gaze landed still on Liu Liancheng's face. This tension was only broken when a breeze came, which blew off several leaves.Liu Liancheng smiled, bowed, and said, "I'm sorry. My teacher has been retired for many years and doesn't want to be mentioned by people again. Why don't you go to the Phoenix Pavilion in the back with me first, Brother Xiao?"Ziyun'er walked over and said softly, "Lord, let's go."Xiao Chen did not say anything. His gaze was still on Liu Liancheng's face, and he seemed to see something profound between the lines of his words. He said, "Please lead the way.""Okay, okay!" Liu Liancheng laughed again and then looked at a few disciples and said, "You manage things here." After that, he looked at a few other disciples and said, "In the back valley of Phoe
"What are you doing!"The voice was cold and serious. Ziyun'er was startled, as if she had had an electric shock. She quickly released Xiao Chen. Her heartbeat was fast, her breathing became very short and rapid, and she could not speak.Liu Liancheng turned around and deliberately nagged, "Do not look at what is contrary to propriety; do not listen to what is contrary to propriety; do not speak what is contrary to propriety..."In Qingluan's eyes, two cold radiances flashed with emotionless killing intention. She walked toward the house step by step. Ziyun'er was so scared that her face was red and white simultaneously, and she slowly backed away. She had heard others say that kissing could divert attention, and the pain would not be felt if the attention was diverted. She just wanted to help Xiao Chen alleviate his pain."Sister, I... It's not what you think..." Ziyun'er trembled with slight fear in her eyes. She kept backing up,
Gui Xian brushed his robes and sat on the edge of the stone platform, held Xiao Chen's shoulders, and said, "Are you better?"At this time, Qingluan and Ziyun'er also came over. The two sisters bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Gui Xian!" They did not expect this old man to be Gui Xian, whom they were looking for and who was also Liu Liancheng's master.Xiao Chen coughed, cupped his hand, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for helping. I'm fine now."Beside the door, Liu Liancheng's eyes were cold. The more he saw Gui Xian caring about Xiao Chen at this moment, the more resentment he felt in his heart. He stepped forward, smiled, and said, "It's my fault to disturb Master for this."Xiao Chen glanced at him lightly. In fact, he had previously guessed that an apprentice could reach the level of Sixth-order Elixir Saint by the age of 20. In this world, besides Gui Xian, who else had this ability?Gui Xian was indeed the mast
Xiao Chen coughed and put his hands behind his back. He said, "Okay, I know. It's getting dark, and you should all go back to rest earlier."Ziyun'er hid behind him, her hands resting on her lower abdomen. She lowered her head and dared not look at Qingluan, as if she had been discovered doing something wrong.Qingluan said, "My Lord, please rest earlier. I'll leave now." After speaking, she looked at Ziyun'er, who was hiding behind Xiao Chen, and said, "You're still not leaving?""Oh..." Ziyun'er murmured, gently leaped, and flew down the pavilion.The next day in the early morning, the valley was sunny. Only Xiao Chen and his company and Gui Xian were going to Mount Wuyue this time; Liu Liancheng was not going with them. When they reached the valley entrance, Gui Xian turned and looked at him, and said, "Go back."Liu Liancheng smiled while he bowed and said, "Yes, Master."After he walked away, Gui Xian
The cold wind whistled, the temperature around seemed to lower, and everyone was in silence. Xiao Chen and Mo Jinyan looked at each other as if in a silent confrontation. The atmosphere was getting tenser. Some people with low cultivation levels had begun to move slowly to stay away from these two people.They looked at each other in the eye and resigned to playing second fiddle. Only until after a while, Chu Lingjiao pulled Mo Jinyan's sleeves, then Mo Jinyan took back his gaze and not look at Xiao Chen anymore. After this, they went to the direction of the mountain summit.It was not until Mo Jinyan walked far away before the atmosphere on the mountain road finally eased down. Many people started whispering, and some people carefully walked around Xiao Chen and headed for the mountain summit.After a while, Qingluan went to Xiao Chen and whispered, "Lord, let's go up."Xiao Chen nodded, got up and greeted Xiaoyue. He said with a
The crowd quickly got excited. Everyone was looking forward to this battle of the ages. With Xiao Ning getting closer and closer, the exclamation of the crowd was even greater, which made the snow on the cliff edge constantly slip off.In an instant, Xiao Ning was less than ten thousand feet away from the peak. He strolled in the sky with ease like a god with powerful aura, the clouds within five kilometers radius behind him tumbled, like a tsunami in the sky.The snow was falling fast, Gu Feng had stood up, staring at the man who was getting closer. His hair danced wildly behind his shoulders and the Raging Dragon Blade also vibrated as it howled, along with the five great swords behind him. At this moment, all of them vibrated and the iron chain on them cling-clang."Xiao Ning is here!"With a loud voice, Xiao Ning had landed from the air onto the summit platform. As he stepped on the ground with his feet, the ice flakes flew. He
