Lu frowned as he recalled, “That person wears a green robe and he looks refined and elegant, like a cultured scholar!”
Pausing for a mont, Lu grumbled indignantly, “But, it’s all a lie! Who would have thought that the frail scholar would be this powerful? He was so terrifying when he attacked!”
Upon hearing this, Shen ngqi’s heart skipped a beat.
A familiar figure flashed across her mind.
In the past four years, this figure had been buried deep in her mories, almost forgotten.
It was only because she had returned to her old ho that brought back so of her childhood mories in a lancholic manner.
Upon hearing Junior Brother Lu’s recount of the incident, the first person that ca to Shen ngqi’s mind was Su Zimo.
However, she smiled and shook her head, denying her thoughts in the blink of an eye.
The thought was indeed rather ridiculous.
Su Zimo did not even have a spirit root. How could he cultivate and possess such trendous strength?
Shen ngqi had never regretted her decision. Even if it happened again, she would choose to leave Su Zimo and Ping Yang Town to follow Perfected Being Cang Lang on the path of cultivation.
After four years of cultivation, she was even more certain of one thing.
That was... with the passage of ti, the gap between her and Su Zimo would grow to a point where it was no longer possible for them to have any interactions.
“Let’s go to the palace! I want to see which idiot would dare to harm the cultivators of Iridescent Clouds Palace!”
Xu You’s voice pulled Shen ngqi back from her ssy thoughts.
Shen ngqi frowned. “Senior Brother Xu, even though the person is at mid-stage Foundation Establishnt, he has the strength to take down late-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivators. We mustn’t be careless.”
“I see.”
Xu You smiled. “Don’t worry, junior sister. I know my limits. According to Junior Brother Lu’s description, this person must have obtained a high quality spirit art and made use of that to defeat Liang Hao and the others.”
Shen ngqi nodded.
“However, the higher the quality of the spirit art, the more spirit energy it would consu.”
Xu You smirked coldly and continued, “If I’m not wrong, that person should be almost drained of spirit energy. He won’t be able to recover much in this period of ti – he is now at his weakest!”
“Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Shen, let’s not delay any further and move now.”
“I see.”
Three rays of sword light rose into the air as Shen ngqi carried Shen Nan and sped towards the palace with Xu You and Lu.
...
Before long, the four of them arrived at the entrance of the King of Yan’s chamber. The door was open.
From the outside, they saw Liang Hao, Liu Hongyi and the other Iridescent Clouds Palace cultivators kneeling on the ground in a dejected manner.
As the four of them were looking down from their flying swords, they could not see who else was inside the chamber.
Withdrawing their flying swords, Xu You and the others descended at the entrance of the chamber and looked inside.
At first glance, the four of them saw a mature man sitting in the middle of the room. Even though he was only middle-aged, he had a head of white hair.
Of course, the most prominent thing about the man was a slanted scar on his face. It was terrifyingly ferocious, almost splitting his entire face into two!
Upon seeing Su Hong, Shen ngqi felt a little emotional.
She naturally knew him although she did not have a deep impression.
Even though this person before her was already the king of a country with considerable power, compared to her, he was nothing in terms of status and strength.
When Su Hong saw Shen ngqi, he was slightly stunned.
“The Shen family girl?”
After four years, he could barely recognize the gentle and simple girl from back then.
Shen ngqi exuded a clear, cold aura that kept people at arm’s length.
Even though they were both cultivators, Su Hong did not feel the sa coldness from Su Zimo.
At that mont, he suddenly felt relieved.
He was relieved Shen ngqi chose to leave his brother back then.
They were not the sa type of people to begin with.
Shen ngqi’s gaze moved away from Su Hong after pausing for a while and turned to the two people seated at the side.
A green robed man sat on a chair at the side of the chamber. His side view was facing the entrance as he leisurely sampled freshly brewed tea that emitted a fragrant scent with a calm expression.
Upon seeing the green robed man, Shen ngqi felt as if she was struck by lightning. Her body trembled slightly and she froze on the spot.
Shaking her head gently, her cherry lips opened slightly as disbelief filled her eyes – her mind was going blank.
Even though it was just a side profile...
Even though it had been four years...
Even though that person had matured a lot...
Shen ngqi recognized him at the first instance.
If it was any other ti, Xu You would definitely notice sothing unusual about Shen ngqi.
However, at that mont, his full attention was drawn in by the girl in pink sitting beside the green robed man. He almost forgot where he was.
She smiled at him tenderly, her eyes curved into crescent moons that were filled with love.
“Ah!”
Suddenly, an exclamation was heard from the chamber.
Shen Nan had obviously recognized the green robed man and his expression changed.
Back then, the impression left on Shen Nan by this man wielding a long saber in the courtyard of the Zhao family while drenched in blood was too deep!
It almost beca a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
Even though Xu You and Shen ngqi were beside him, the fear that was deep-rooted in his mories still frightened Shen Nan into shrieking.
It was a sowhat familiar shriek.
At that mont, Su Zimo finally placed the teacup in his hands down slowly. Turning slightly, he glanced towards the entrance.
Their eyes t.
Instantly, it was as though space had changed and ti had reversed.
A series of images flashed past his mind and gradually dissipated.
There was silence for a long ti.
Shen ngqi’s expression was complex.
Su Zimo was slightly startled. However, his eyes regained their calmness before long.
From the mont he stepped onto the path of cultivation, Su Zimo knew that he would definitely et Shen ngqi again.
However, he did not expect that it would be under such circumstances, that it would be today.
Four years ago, she left resolutely and Su Zimo suffered a huge blow. He could still rember that heart-wrenching pain till this day.
If not for Die Yue’s appearance, it would have been difficult for him to get out of that ordeal so quickly.
Su Zimo initially thought that he would be filled with resentnt towards Shen ngqi.
He had even imagined that if they were reunited, he would stand proudly before Shen ngqi and tell her that there was nothing tough about living in a world without her!
However, reality was different from imagination.
Now that he t Shen ngqi once more, Su Zimo was extrely calm. In fact, he seed relaxed.
Unknowingly, Shen ngqi had turned into a passerby of his life and was just an ordinary old acquaintance.
At that mont, Shen ngqi felt a mix of emotions and bitterness in her mouth.
It had been four years.
He did not seem to have changed much – he was still dressed in green and exuded a scholarly air.
However, Shen ngqi had just used her Spirit Peering Art and could naturally tell that Su Zimo was now a cultivator.
Furthermore, he was a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt Cultivator!
How could that be?
The atmosphere within the chamber suddenly beca strange.
The disciples of Iridescent Clouds Palace were kneeling on the ground, looking extrely miserable and perplexed.
For so reason, Senior Sister Shen looked distracted and confused after she entered the chamber and caught sight of that green robed cultivator.
It was the sa for Senior Brother Xu who was staring at the girl in pink.
No one was bothered about them at all.
