Ti gradually passed.
It was now night ti again.
Li Nianfan was resting in the room. He did not fall asleep. Instead, he was waiting because he knew they would arrive at the destination tonight.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
As expected, there was the sound of knocking. Swiftly after, Qin Manyun’s gentle voice was heard, “Mr. Li, are you asleep?”
“Not yet.”
Li Nianfan opened the door. “We’ve arrived?”
“Hmm, we have. Mr. Li, would you like to have a look at the deck?”
After spending ti together for so long, Qin Manyun had slowly begun to understand the thinking of the expert. He was living in vacation mode. He liked to look at the view and to enjoy life.
Li Nianfan smiled. “Since we’re here, of course.”
With that, he walked out from the room toward the deck.
Yao ngji and the rest were waiting for him there. They greeted politely, “Mr. Li.”
They were extrely excited. The morning wine helped them to break through. The expert was being too kind to them. What had they done to deserve this!
anwhile, all they wanted to do was to worship the expert.
However, thinking of the expert’s taboo, they repressed this desire. In the eyes of the expert, nothing in the world had any aning. The best way to repay him was to please him, to make sure that he was enjoying himself.
“Mr. Li, that’s the Chuchen Town.” The Holy Emperor pointed in one direction.
It was nad the Chuchen Town because it was located in the northeast direction. It lacked resources and had a small population. There were mostly small towns and villages, nothing close to the Fallen Town. The small towns and villages combined to make up the Chuchen Town.
Although it was nothing close to the bigger towns, its land was very spacious.
Especially tonight, the Chuchen Town was extrely lively. Compared to the Azure Demon Lockdown Ceremony, it was less oppressive. Also, it seed more fun and casual.
Even during the nightti, the heart of the Town was lightened up. Furthermore, there were all kinds of lights shining. Along with the noise, it felt like a market.
From ti to ti, cultivators flew by in the sky in orbs of lights. It was very festive and lively.
The appearance of skyship was shocking to many cultivators. Instead of finding out who was in there, they all chose to make way for it.
It did not take long before the skyship had steadily landed. It was steady, even though the movent was big. It was a majestic sight.
It was as if a luxurious car had pulled up at a poor village.
Although there were many bigshots from all over the places attending this convention, there were not many who ca in a skyship.
Soon, soone recognized them. He called out with delight, “Brother ngji!”
“Oh, it’s the Sect Master of the Linxian Palace, Sect Master ngji!”
“He actually ca! Our Cultivator Convention’s getting famous!”
“You’re all strange. Are you all straight? Why’re you only looking at that old man? Don’t you see the beautiful lady by their side?”
“Gasp...that’s the Saintess of the Linxian Palace, Qin Manyun! So beautiful! So Saint-like!”
“Who’s that woman by the side? She’s very beautiful, too. So mature and elegant!”
Many cultivators called out in awe. They were hesitant.
They wanted to go over and et them, but they only dared to observe from afar.
“Brother ngji, I didn’t expect you to actually co! Your arrival is bringing the Convention up a notch!”
Following so laughter, countless figures approached them. The man leading them was an elderly man with white hair, looking like an Immortal. He had a friendly smile.
Yao ngji’s face straightened as he said politely, “Brother Qingfeng!”
“Thinking back, we haven’t t for five hundred years or so!” Longevous Qingfeng said with a sigh. When he saw Yao ngji, his eyes narrowed and his lips parted. He had a look of disbelief.
“You...you broke through to Cross Tribulation?”
He realized that he could not see through Yao ngji at all. It was apparent that Yao ngji had surpassed him greatly!
“I was lucky, I was lucky.” Yao ngji smiled humbly. If he were to find out that he had already reached the late-Cross Tribulation, his eyes might pop out.
Furthermore, this was achieved within a few months. There was no precedent, he could not even feel it. Thinking back, it felt like a dream!
Longevous Qingfeng opened his mouth and said with a bitter face, “Se—Senior....”
Yao ngji corrected him, “Brother Qingfeng, you’ve helped a lot. If you call Senior, I’ll be mad at you.”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Longevous Qingfeng nodded. Deep in his eyes was a hint of delight and loneliness.
Back then, this man was still a kid. Yet, he had sohow exceeded him. Was he so much worse? Was he still able to Immortalize?
His heart thumped violently. Would he still have the chance to et her?
He did not want to think any further. He was already half-dead, why bother thinking!
He shook his head. He heard Yao ngji say, “Sect Mistress, this is Brother Qingfeng. After you had Immortalized, the Master was under the attack of the Natural Tribulation. Our Master survived due to his help!”
Gu Xirou halted. She said, “Oh? Then, we owe it to him!”
This voice...
Sect—Sect Mistress?
Longevous Qingfeng jolted. He looked up abruptly and stared at Gu Xirou. In just a mont, hot tears overflowed from his watery eyes.
It was her! It was really her!
His lips trembled as he said, “Senior...Gu...”
Gu Xirou halted. “Hm? Do you know ?”
Longevous Qingfeng said, trembling, “Senior Gu, do you rember the young boy who almost got eaten by a demon back at the Tianyun Mountain?”
“That was you?” Gu Xirou looked shocked.
“It’s normal that you can’t recognize ,” Longevous Qingfeng said bitterly. “Senior Gu’s still glowing like always while I’ve already aged.”
He grimaced. He was extrely bitter.
Li Nianfan instantly had a strange look on his face. He could easily tell what this man was implying.
Was this a movie about the beautiful heroine saving the boy? However, this realm was indeed ssed up. It was the real-life model of the saying of ‘age is not a problem’.
When he was twenty, he fell for an Immortal. He cultivated bitterly for thousands of years to chase after her. In the end, he ended up with white hair all over while she was still an Immortal.
Was there a more cruel tragedy in the world?
Li Nianfan shook his head. He looked at this Longevous Qingfeng sympathetically.
As the saying went, ‘a 3,000-year-old Immortal woman would still be stunning’. This was true.
“Longevous Qingfeng, you... You... You...” Yao ngji’s face changed as he pointed at Longevous Qingfeng, trembling. He was so angry that his beard stood up. “I can’t believe you’re like this! I treated you like a friend, and yet, you... you...”
‘I treated you like a friend, and yet, you tried to get it on with my Sect Mistress? What if you actually got her? You’d end up being my Sect Master!’
“Heart of a wolf! Heart of a wolf!” Yao ngji was very angry. He felt cheated.
He called out angrily, “So, you’ve always had this intention! You’re like a toad trying to eat the at of a swan! You’re a bastard!”
“ngji, be nice,” Gu Xirou said elegantly. “People do fall in love at tis. After all, your Sect Mistress is so attractive, it’s hard not to fall for . Qingfeng, get rid of this unrealistic fantasy. You’re not good enough for . You’re so old now. Find a partner, if you’re still capable. Who knows, you could still make so babies.”
Longevous Qingfeng blushed, not out of anger but sha. He was embarrassed.
Why did he not conceal his emotions when he saw her alluring figure? His lack of control made him want to drill a hole and hide in it right away.
“Senior Gu, Brother ngji, I’m sorry. I was poisoned with a drug not long ago, causing to speak gibberish from ti to ti. Please, don’t take it seriously,” Longevous Qingfeng quickly covered up. He said, “Since you just ca, you probably don’t have a place to live. Let arrange one for you.”
He was in his late-Combination realm. His reputation was positive and he had quite an authority in this area. He was the one in charge of the Cultivators Convention.
Yao ngji looked at Li Nianfan to seek advice. “Mr. Li, should we check in now?”
“Alright, it’s getting late,” Li Nianfan nodded. He added, “Mr. Yao, don’t make it too troubleso. Don’t waste too much money.”
“I understand, don’t worry, Mr. Li.” Yao ngji nodded. He then ordered, “Longevous Qingfeng, quickly arrange for us to check-in.”
Longevous Qingfeng did not mind. However, he looked at Li Nianfan and opened his mouth but nothing ca out.
“What’re you standing there for? Hurry!” Yao ngji pestered as he signaled to him with his eyes.
Longevous Qingfeng was left in the dark, but he was no fool. He repressed his suspicion and said, “Please, follow .”
Li Nianfan followed the group. It was not hard to tell that the cultivators attending this Convention were not too high ranking.
On the way, so cultivators would greet Yao ngji from ti to ti. It was apparent that Yao ngji was already a bigshot to them. He got lucky being able to follow him around.
Furthermore, there was an Immortal in the group! How amazing!
Longevous Qingfeng grew more and more suspicious. He could feel that Yao ngji, and even Gu Xirou, respected Li Nianfan genuinely. They were observing Li Nianfan from ti to ti, and whenever he had any question or need, they would solve it for him right away.
However, he looked like an ordinary man from any angle!
“Stop looking, look at the road!” Yao ngji scoffed in a low voice. He was very serious.
Longevous Qingfeng was curious. He said in a low voice, “Brother ngji, this man...”
“This man’s forever beyond your imagination!” Yao ngji said with a serious look. “Stop asking and cast away your curiosity. Arrange for the best and most quiet room in here. Also...don’t let anyone disturb this expert. From now onward, you’d better shut up!”
Longevous Qingfeng did not speak further but his heart was thumping heavily. Since he was no fool, he beca more nervous.
Senior Gu was an Immortal. Even she did not make a fuss. This man...
He took in a deep breath to repress the shock in him. He grew uneasy as he anticipated the unknown.
They made a few turns to let Li Nianfan admire so sights. They saw two cultivators fighting, one striking the other here and there. They were not high-ranking cultivators and the fight was not grand. However, it was quite interesting.
It did not take long before they arrived at the hostel.
It was a big compound located in the Northwest of the Town. The compound was very big and it had a pavilion. It was quiet and indeed quite a nice location.
Longevous Qingfeng said, “Here it is. There are plenty of rooms.”
Yao ngji looked at Li Nianfan and asked, “Would you like to check in right away?”
Li Nianfan nodded. “I’m quite tired indeed. Where’s the room?”
“Mr. Li, please, follow ,” Longevous Qingfeng said with a serious look. He took the lead politely.
After showing Li Nianfan to his room, Longevous Qingfeng let out a long sigh of relief. He felt as if he had done sothing impressive.
He looked at Yao ngji and said excitingly, “Brother ngji, who is he actually?”
“This is a big deal. You, follow !” Yao ngji brought Longevous Qingfeng to a secluded corner. He asked, “Brother Qingfeng, how much longer can you live?”
Longevous Qingfeng first froze. He then lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly. “Probably less than three years. I won’t be able to break through anymore. I’m ready to quit cultivation.”
Yao ngji said in a solemn tone, “Don’t you say that I didn’t help you. Since Mr. Li has co here, this will be the greatest opportunity in your life. Breaking through the bottleneck is part of the deal, but whether you can grasp it depends on you.”
Longevous Qingfeng’s heart thumped heavily. He looked at Yao ngji suspiciously. “You’re not lying to ?”
“You’re really lucky. To make you believe , I’ll have to part with my love,” Yao ngji sighed. He then took out an orange that he had kept for himself.
After hesitating for half a mont, he cautiously peeled it and handed a small piece to Longevous Qingfeng. Painfully, he said, “Take this. You’re welco.”
Longevous Qingfeng’s excited face instantly froze. He looked at the piece of orange and then at the stingy look on Yao ngji’s face. He felt dumbfounded.
His mouth twitched and he could not help saying, “Brother ngji, you’re insulting !”
