Chapter 1672: Chapter 749: One Sword (2)
Could it be... this guy is upset because I replaced Chen Yunyun, depriving him of the chance to act with her?
What inexplicable possessiveness.
Does he consider Chen Yunyun as his exclusive possession?
Daoist Qing Yan cast an apologetic glance this way at that moment, but that was all there was to it.
Fang Yu was still pondering when suddenly Old Demon Feng Yahu spoke.
"I heard Daoist Qing Yan came to Sui Chong Pass not just for a reunion, but as a matchmaker."
After saying this, Fang Yu looked incredulously at the gossiping Old Demon Feng Yahu, who even humanely glanced over at Dongfang Aotian’s side.
Fang Yu:...
Seriously, you’re a demon, how come you’re into gossip??
Besides, your news is more up-to-date than mine as a human!
But if what Old Demon Feng Yahu said is true.
Then this mission, for Dongfang Aotian, isn’t a rescue mission at all; it’s completely an outdoor honeymoon with his fiancée, plus rescuing his mother-in-law!
The favorable impression, the intimacy, the mutual support along the way, all these opportunities were maximized, the heavens-given chance.
And then... disrupted by an outsider.
And naturally, that outsider is...
Fang Yu scratched his head.
Seriously, buddy, you want to court a girl, but don’t vent your emotions on me, I’m just a passerby hoping to score some rewards, what did I do wrong?
Having sorted through the situation, Fang Yu turned his attention back to the gossiping demon.
Under the premise that this guy doesn’t know she’s a demon and thinks she’s human, surprisingly... she’s not bad?
Maybe it’s my tinted lenses, after all, even among demons...
Rumble!!!
The cave suddenly shook violently a few times, interrupting Fang Yu’s thoughts.
Everyone instantly became tense, but fortunately, the disturbance came quickly and went away just as fast.
Following Daoist Qing Yan’s gesture, everyone relaxed their spirits again.
"It should be a passing demon, no need to worry, our location is quite hidden, generally won’t be discovered."
Daoist Qing Yan explained, but given the current situation, it’s somewhat difficult for everyone to relax and rest; at most, they could partially lie down for a night’s rest.
"Speaking of which, what background does Dongfang Ao have?"
Fang Yu rarely indulged in gossip.
The gossiping demon merely shook her head.
"No idea."
What good are you!
Your gossiping skills are just average!
Looking at the team now.
Dongfang Aotian and Fatty Jia formed a group.
Daoist Qing Yan and Luo Jianqing sat together.
The gossiping demon and Fang Yu were on one side.
Only Guan Anxuan sat quietly in the corner, like a neglected nobody.
Fang Yu hesitated for a moment and beckoned to Guan Anxuan.
Compared with having more gossiping demons around, having an additional human companion seems more reliable.
But unexpectedly...
Guan Anxuan coldly glanced over, then turned her face away, ignoring Fang Yu.
Alright then!
Stay aloof, go ahead!
I’m truly impressed.
Good intentions treated as donkey liver, seeing you being isolated by the team, I tried to reach out, and yet you snubbed me!
Fang Yu decisively gave up.
Anyway, this temporary team, seemingly a strong alliance, is actually full of personal agendas; everyone’s just putting in some effort, don’t expect any deep bonds.
Continuing to ponder the "Six-Star Formation Art" cultivation technique, time passed quickly...
...
Luoying Manor.
Cherry blossoms danced in the air, like snowflakes in December.
Along the long path leading to enlightenment, a girl in pink was being escorted by two servants toward the hall.
The girl’s face was as radiant as a peach blossom, youthful and charming.
Her pink short hair complemented the swirling cherry blossoms perfectly.
Her curious eyes glanced left and right, seemingly very interested in the constantly falling petals.
She held a sword in her hand.
The sword scabbard, black as ink, was engraved with dense patterns, delicate like rain, naturally.
The hilt was wrapped in black thread, yet it exhibited a texture like gold and silver, akin to strands of black gold refined into form.
The sword tassel was made of the same black gold thread as the hilt, adorned with a small black bell.
But, as the girl moved, the bell on the tassel never made a sound, adding to its mysteriousness.
"Miss Zhuge, the manor lord is waiting inside."
The girl in pink responded by poking her head into the hall, finally spotting the man sitting silently in the gloomy corner, repeatedly caressing the object in his hands.
Tap tap.
She tiptoed in, heading directly towards the man.
"You must be the lord of Luoying Manor, Tian Wangheng?"
Once she reached the man’s front, the girl in pink curiously tilted her head, asking.
Tian Wangheng raised his head slightly, looking at the girl in front of him, his gaze filled with doubt and confusion.
Yet his hand continued to rub the token’s pattern with his thumb.
No mistake.
This is... the Black Fire Order!
Suddenly, gripping the Black Fire Order tightly, Tian Wangheng asked in a deep voice.
"Who are you? We have already apologized for that incident years ago, why is there still a Black Fire Order sent to the manor!"
Upon hearing this, the girl in pink seemed rather pleased.
"You want to know who I am? Listen carefully, my name is... Zhuge Shi."
Tian Wangheng frowned.
Zhuge Shi? He hadn’t heard of this name.
But... the Black Fire Order doesn’t lie.
However, before Tian Wangheng could inquire further, he saw Zhuge Shi slowly placing her hand on the sword hilt.
"But..."
In the blackness, the sword was slowly drawn.
"You may also call me another name."
Even in the darkness of the room’s corner, the slow revelation of the black sword made Tian Wangheng’s eyes widen instantly, his whole body trembling, staring in disbelief at the longsword.
