Chapter 157: Chapter 140 Heart Lake with Lotus Pond (An extra update for my brothers’ monthly tickets!) (4000 words, 2 in 1 ga chapter) Chapter 157: Chapter 140 Heart Lake with Lotus Pond (An extra update for my brothers’ monthly tickets!) (4000 words, 2 in 1 ga chapter) It was clearly broad daylight.
The sun shone brightly.
But a certain corner of the Wangque Platform.
Had brightened a few degrees due to the smile of a woman.
Those were the feelings of the owners of the eyes, who either sneaked glances or stared openly.
The ceremony for Dao companions was still ongoing and was nearing its end.
Not far below You Mountain.
Inside a tavern, there was similar bustle.
However.
There was one person who didn’t quite fit with the celebration that filled almost the entire city.
At this mont, Zhao Rong’s face was expressionless.
His smile had gradually disappeared since earlier on.
Zhao Rong’s hands propped up his chin as he unblinkingly stared at a corner above the beaded curtain; the tea in the cup beside his arm was still full, yet it had already gone cold long ago.
Scene after scene had unfolded right before Zhao Rong’s eyes.
Scene after scene.
At first, a little girl in a pink dress had ran to hug Qing Jun.
At that ti, he had evilly amused himself by concocting so lodramatic stories in his mind.
Such as, what if the little girl was Qing Jun’s child and he…well, seed like they had only been apart for half a year, and the child had grown so much?
But he hadn’t had ti to be amused for long.
A young man in white, carrying a sword on his back, had arrived.
This back-carrying swordsman, whose face he couldn’t see clearly, looked familiar to him, but soon had him seeing red.
The swordsman had said sothing to Qing Jun.
And he actually made Qing Jun laugh!
Imdiately, Zhao Rong felt a sense of displeasure.
Ever since he’d awakened his mories from a past life, he hadn’t seen Qing Jun smile!
Zhao Rong felt a sourness in his heart.
After that, every move of that swordsman made him suspicious and paranoid.
The hell, why isn’t this guy leaving? Loitering beside Qing Jun?
Sothing’s not right.
Why is Qing Jun still talking to him?
Damn it!
Why are they standing so close together?
If Su Xiaoxiao dared to do this, Zhao Rong would definitely spank her…
Although Lingfei and Jiang Chebai were maintaining a very normal distance between them, in his eyes, they seed close no matter how he looked…
Zhao Rong stared unwaveringly at the beaded curtain.
A wave of jealousy surged in his heart.
Though he had not yet t Qing Jun or received a response from her,
Zhao Rong still arrogantly regarded Qing Jun as his exclusive preserve.
“Pfft~”
Gui couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Zhao Rong’s face stiff, “What are you laughing at?”
“Cough cough, nothing.”
As a Sword Spirit, Gui existed in a special Soul Body state, residing within Zhao Rong’s ‘third eye’ chakra. It could see Zhao Rong’s Heart Lake, but couldn’t peer into his thoughts.
Usually, when Zhao Rong communicated with it, it was akin to him ntally voicing his thoughts with his mouth closed, which was different from his thought processes.
Even though Gui also knew several taboo secret techniques that could glimpse others’ intentions and could barely execute them now,
It wouldn’t be suicidal enough to use them, because the thoughts within the heart are incredibly complex. Not to ntion whether it could imdiately locate the useful thoughts soone was having at that mont, but the sheer volu of information could overwhelm its spirit.
“Pfft!” Gui laughed again.
Zhao Rong said word by word, “Laugh your ass off!”
Gui didn’t retort, but was inwardly very amused.
While it couldn’t read minds, due to its special soul status, it could see the colors of Zhao Rong’s Heart Lake.
This was a unique perspective of a Soul Body, which could roughly discern soone’s emotions through the colors of their Heart Lake.
Gui took another look at the color in Zhao Rong’s Heart Lake.
Ha ha, wasn’t it just the color that symbolizes happiness? Why has it changed to this color now?
Tsk tsk tsk, I haven’t really seen this color before.
How rare.
Gui coughed, its tone serious, “Zhao Rong, you’ve turned green.”
“…” Zhao Rong.

On You Mountain, atop Wangque Platform.
The ceremony for Dao companions had concluded.
Cheng Guilu and Lu Yao’er, riding on the rainbow clouds, departed leisurely amongst the falling petals, grand music, and the blessings of everyone.
But the attendees of the ceremony didn’t imdiately descend the mountain.
Instead, they waited on Wangque Platform.
To hold a ceremony for Dao companions on You Mountain was a grand event seen once in hundreds of years.
Even the great Wangque sect from the north was filled with pride.
Also, the lady of Tranquility Mansion, who had lent You Mountain to the sect, allowed every person who ascended the mountain to take a Purple-clothed Flower with them on the descent.
Knowing that these Purple-clothed Flowers that bloom all over the mountain were not allowed to be picked indiscriminately on other days, even the masters of several private residences on the mountain were no exception.
Thus, while a Purple-clothed Flower seed to have no use other than its ornantal value, it symbolized the social connections and status of the person who obtained one.
At this mont, amid the anticipatory waiting of the crowd,
A group of coly won, dressed in purple, slowly ascended Wangque Platform, their movents graceful, full of charm, and each uniquely enchanting.
They stood at the entrance to Wangque Platform, offering a Purple-clothed Flower to each departing guest.
The crowd slowly ford a queue.
Having a reserved and calm disposition, Lingfei wasn’t in a hurry to leave and thus waited at the back.
After having talked with Lingfei just monts before, Jiang Chebai felt closer to her and harbored so hidden thoughts, so he decided to wait alongside Lingfei at the back as well.
Seeing this, Lingfei, with a slight frown on her delicate brows, asked, “Brother Jiang isn’t in a rush to leave? I’ve heard there are many affairs to attend to at Punishnt Mansion.”
“No hurry, today is an off day.”
Lingfei nodded lightly, said nothing more, didn’t look at him again, but instead focused her gaze on the beautiful female officer who was distributing the Purple-clothed Flowers.
Her attendance at this ceremony for Dao companions today,
Apart from one of the leading characters being her good sister Teacher Lu,
The main reason was that her teacher from Tranquility Mansion, Teacher Bai, had entrusted her to get a Purple-clothed Flower to bring back.
Before long.
