Chapter Ch373 - Person from the Liu Family
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but smile when he rembered Liu Zhaoyue crying for his parents as he fled to Lin Xuanzhi’s yard for protection and dared not go out for several days. “This boy boldly circled around Senior Martial Brother Zhan all the ti a few days ago and was beaten by Senior Martial Brother Hai.”
Yuan Tianwen, “......”
Duan Yuyang clicked his tongue, “It seems that this boy sotis fails to win and is hated.”
“No.” Lin Xuanzhi shook his head, “On the contrary, Senior Martial Brother Zhan likes Liu Zhaoyue quite a lot and plans to accept him as his disciple. That’s why he angered Senior Martial Brother Hai. Otherwise, Senior Martial Brother Hai won’t care about him.”
Yuan Tianwen, “......”
Duan Yuyang, “......”
Yuan Tianwen rubbed his chin as he spoke with profound aning, “It seems that those of you in Sinking Sword Peak like to digest internally.”
The ambiguity between Zhan Fengting and Hai Kuanglang had always existed, not to ntion that Hai Kuanglang was raised single-handedly by Zhan Fengting. They were normally inseparable. Whenever soone tried to approach Zhan Fengting even a little, they would be t with Hai Kuanglang’s death glare; this was a well-known thing, which was enough to make people think about their relationship.
However, no one knew about the relationship between Bei Shitian and Wan Yitong. Although Lin Xuanzhi could see a lot of clues and knew what had happened between them, he would not blather freely about other people’s private matters.
Duan Yuyang could not resist his curiosity for gossip and winked at Lin Xuanzhi. “Are those two really getting along, or are they just close martial brothers?”
Lin Xuanzhi said with a smile, “You’ll have to ask the parties involved. However, I haven’t seen the two of them act too closely, and as for in private, I don’t know about that. It is not easy to see.”
Duan Yuyang rolled his eyes, “You might as well have not said anything.”
Carelessly, the topic drifted away again.
After resting for an hour, the crowd got back into the carriage and headed for the border of the West Continent.
However, Liu Zhaoyue moved from the original carriage he shared with Jian Yunxi to the chariot with Bei Shitian. Even Jian Yunxi had to admire Liu Zhaoyue’s fearless spirit of defying life and death in order to flirt with beauties.
Along the way, Jian Yunxi already had enough of Liu Zhaoyue chatting away nonstop in his ear, and at this ti he finally got peace and quiet. Although his heart felt so discomfort and contempt for Liu Zhaoyue, it was because Liu Zhaoyue’s behavior had made the reclusive families lose a lot of face.
Duan Yuyang had always been looking forward to seeing Bei Shitian throw Liu Zhaoyue out of the carriage. However, they never saw him being thrown out, even after they arrived in the small town on the border of the West Continent.
It was not early, so they found an inn in a small border town to rest and recuperate. They planned to set off again the next day.
Before leaving, Lin Xuanzhi even went to the innkeeper to inquire about the current situation of the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest. Perhaps it was because this place was too far away from the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest, or because this place had more contact with the mortal world. Therefore, the innkeeper did not know anything about the Forest.
It was another three days before the crowd reached Fenghui City, which was located on the Northern part of the West Continent.
Fenghui City was the third-largest main city in the West Continent, surrounded by three secular dynasties. There were two second-rate families and five third-rate families in the city. On normal days, it was calm and peaceful.
However, in recent years, the three secular dynasties had been in constant dispute. So royal families even secretly found Fenghui City’s Seeking Immortality School as their backing and had gotten many benefits. Therefore, the relationship between these aristocratic cultivator families was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface, and infighting was not uncommon.
After entering the city, there were many demonic beasts out on the broad streets, which had a totally different style than the East Continent.
Whether it was a senior or a child, most of them had a small beast around them. So were ferocious and so were clever. The sight made Yan Tianhen amazed.
In this atmosphere, Lin Xuanzhi and others did not stand out much.
“Dage, a rabbit!” Yan Tianhen saw a round rabbit rolling up in front of him, and could not help exclaiming with pleasant surprise.
Lin Xuanzhi raised his eyebrows slightly and used his hand to pull back Yan Tianhen, who was about to hold the little rabbit. He heard a loud bang and the round rabbit turned into a hairy hedgehog.
Yan Tianhen, “......”
He wanted to swear but didn’t know if he should.
“Hahaha! Were you scared!” A young man with a clear and crisp voice ca running over. He was wearing a robe that was unique to West Continent cultivators and had no shoes on his feet. He kicked the hedgehog with his bare feet, and the hedgehog shrank into a ball once again and rolled onto the young man’s leg.
Yan Tianhen didn’t even blink once as he watched this. “Wow, how can this be?!”
The young man said joyfully, “Isn’t it great?”
Yan Tianhen nodded in worship, “It’s very great.”
Liu Zhaoyue ca over and couldn’t help laughing. “What’s so great about this? This is just the nature of the Cocklebur Rat. The Cocklebur Rat has so illusion abilities and is very clingy. It’s rely for playing with children.”
The boy was also not angry. Instead, he saluted Liu Zhaoyue, “I haven’t seen you for a long ti. Young Master is more handso than before.”
“Boy, do I still need you to say this kind of thing?”
When they heard this, they realized that he knew the youth.
Yuan Tianwen asked, “Who is this?”
The young man showed eight white teeth refreshingly, “My na is Fu Zisang, you can just call
Xiao Sang. I am a servant of the Liu family. I ca to welco you guys when I calculated that you had almost arrived.”
Liu Zhaoyue raised his eyebrows, “You guys? Didn’t you co to pick
up?”
Fu Zisang smiled, “Young Master, you should run away while the family head hasn’t seen you yet. After the family head left closed-door cultivation, he found that soone incited you to run away. Until now, he was still angry because you left ho without informing him. Earlier, he said that if he caught you, he would lock you in the secret chamber for a year without going out.”
Liu Zhaoyue got a fright and cried in a strange voice, “When did my eldest brother leave secluded cultivation? How co I didn’t know?”
Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help glancing at Liu Zhaoyue.
This boy truly was the Liu family head’s biological younger brother. Even Lin Xuanzhi knew that Liu ngchen had co out of secluded cultivation a month ago, but this younger brother did not even know anything.
Jian Yunxi also could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
According to principle, Liu Zhaoyue should have been the first to know, but ever since he went up Sinking Sword Peak, nobody cared about him and nobody looked after him, so he went to muddle along like a duck to water. On normal days, he did not even co out of the mountain gate. Those Liu family disciples who wanted to contact Liu Zhaoyue also had no place where they could contact him. As a result, even he, a mber of the Jian family, knew about such an important matter, but this boy did not know anything.
Jian Yunxi couldn’t help but feel sad for Liu ngchen.
It’s really hard for him, having such an unreliable brother.
Fu Zisang shrugged and spread out his hands. “You should not let the family head know that you are indifferent to him. Otherwise, your cri will be aggravated.”
Liu Zhaoyue rubbed his nose wryly, “Where is my older brother? I’ll et him.”
Fu Zisang asked, “Do you really dare to see him?”
Liu Zhaoyue smiled, “After all, I haven’t seen him for more than two years. At the very least, I am his younger brother, so I naturally miss him very much.”
Fu Zisang nodded with gratification, “It seems that you still have so conscience.”
“Hey–” Liu Zhaoyue thumped Fu Zisang with a fist, “How can you talk like that?”
Fu Zisang laughed.
Jian Yunxi coldly watched the two Liu family mbers “flirting” here.
Fu Zisang wouldn’t neglect the others too much either. He quickly explained, “Young Master Lin, your family’s Young Master Qing Zhu is also a guest in the Liu family right now. It is better to go to the Liu family together.”
Lin Xuanzhi inquired, “Why is Qing Zhu in the Liu family?”
Fu Zisang scratched his head, “It’s... it’s a long story, but now Young Master Zhu is our guest of honor. If you guys go, you guys will certainly receive the sa treatnt.”
Liu Zhaoyue spoke excitedly, “Go ahead, my eldest brother is seldom willing to invite others to my family on normal days. I don’t think there’s any fun in my family, but that’s only because I am tired of looking at my family’s residence. In reality, my family is quite interesting.”
He didn’t even need Liu Zhaoyue to say that. Since Qing Zhu was in the Liu family, Lin Xuanzhi would definitely make a trip to the Liu family.
However, before going, Lin Xuanzhi still needed to confirm with Qing Zhu.
“Just a mont.” Lin Xuanzhi took out the Voice Transmission Bell and shook it with his spiritual Qi.
There is a distance limit for the Voice Transmission Bell. The shorter the distance, the better the effect. If the distance was too long, more spiritual Qi would be consud.
When Lin Xuanzhi was as far away as the East Continent, they could only expend Voice Transmission Talismans, which were extrely expensive, so if there were no important matters, the two did not communicate very often.
However, it should be much more convenient since they were now all on the border of the West Continent.
However, Lin Xuanzhi shook the bell a few tis but received no response.
Liu Zhaoyue also knew Lin Xuanzhi’s Voice Transmission Bell. Seeing this, he ca over, “Senior Martial Brother, the bell is useless.”
Lin Xuanzhi glanced at him.
Liu Zhaoyue explained, “At the very least, the Liu family is a reclusive family. Reclusive families must reside in a location isolated from the world, so there is a barrier around the Liu family. It is very difficult for Taoist techniques from the outside to enter.”
There was no need for Liu Zhaoyue to give an explanation. Lin Xuanzhi had already guessed this.
So he put the Voice Transmission Bell away, “How do you contact your family?”
Liu Zhaoyue took out a stack of Voice Transmission Talismans from his storage ring and stuffed them into Lin Xuanzhi’s hand. “Use this, but the Voice Transmission Talismans are not very easy to use. You can only say one sentence with one talisman. If you want to chat with him, you’ll have to use one stack at a ti.”
Lin Xuanzhi, ” ......
Yan Tianhen, “......”
Rich and imposing!
One Voice Transmission Talismans needed hundreds of gold. Not only did he actually carry a pile with him, but he also casually gave them away for chatting. This was a little too excessive.
Even Yuan Tianwen, who grew up in an elite family, was also moved. He had a new understanding of the reclusive families’ financial resources. Although he felt no pressure when using the Voice Transmission Talismans himself, he still couldn’t chat casually.
Voice Transmission Talismans could be transmitted for thousands of miles in a split second. The first instant it would still be in one’s own hands, but the next instant it would be in the other person’s hands. After a split second, it would return to one’s own hands again. Although there were requirents for space, there are very few restrictions when passing through barriers, which was sotis more advantageous than the Voice Transmission Bell.
Lin Xuanzhi was also not at all polite. He took the Voice Transmission Talismans in his hand, took a piece of it, and poured his spiritual Qi into it. “Brother Zhuzi, why are you in the Liu family?”
Soon, Qing Zhu’s voice, which sounded sowhat tired and angry, rang out–
“Liu ngchen, this son of a bitch, has detained
in the Liu family. Don’t follow his n here and head straight to the Myriad Beasts Demonic Forest!”
Qing Zhu was probably extrely angry, so his voice sounded a bit loud.
