Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The dim light imdiately turned bright. ng Qi found himself sitting in a shabby temple. The setting crescent released its bright light throughout the temple.
Opposite him was that huge man who had seated himself cross-legged on the ground and leaned against a table that was about to fall apart. He was dressed in a black robe. He was tall and large, almost a full head taller than ng Qi. His facial features were covered with hair, and his eyes were as deep as the vast sky. There seed to be a twinkling in his eyes.
ng Qi was still suffering from the aftereffects of the Sacrifice Formula. He had grown weak and suffered a bad headache. Fortunately, he had taken the Recover Pill before, so he was gradually getting better. In order to stall for ti and remove his doubts, ng Qi asked, “Seniors…”
“Why do you call ‘senior’? Am I old?” The man mumbled, “Call brother.”
“Hmm. He doesn’t seem to be violent and ruthless…” ng Qi was kind of relieved. Judging from the reaction of Gu Xiaosang, the man had to be sobody. Maybe he was famous in the Terrestrial Rankings and it was impossible to defend his attacks. “Brother, why do you need ?”
Addressing him this way made ng Qi feel awkward, but in order to please the man he did.
The man tapped his thighs and said, “To borrow your True Emperor Seal.”
“How do you know that I have True Emperor Seal?” ng Qi was surprised. He had thought that besides Wang the fraud nobody knew. How did a re passer-by know that he had True Emperor Seal?
The man laughed. “Others don’t know, but I know. True Emperor Seal naturally is connected to real emperors!”
He seed to be complacent.
“A real emperor…” ng Qi looked at his face which was covered and thought of the man’s words, he did not believe the man was a real emperor at all.
However, he would not be foolish and refute him. Instead, he asked him in confusion, “Why did you take away if you just wanted to borrow True Emperor Seal?”
Although he was grateful that the man had taken him away from Gu Xiaosang, ng Qi had to figure out the reason. Since the man only wanted the Seal, why had he kidnapped ng Qi?
The man froze for a mont. Then he scratched his head and said, “Don’t you think that I would be like a bandit if I just ‘borrowed’ the Seal? But if I ‘borrowed you’, I would be more like an expert out of the mortal world. Haha…”
He laughed with a connotation that said, “don’t mind the details”.
“For image…” ng Qi was astonished as he looked at the man. The image of himself in his old age filled his mind.
“If, if I beca a man like him, I would rather kill myself!”
“If you want to take care of your image, you should hide it deeper. You should be consistent. Do you get it?”
He took a deep breath and said, “Brother, when I got True Emperor Seal, I made a Soul-pledging Oath, so I have to bear the consequences. If you want to borrow it, can you mortgage sothing for it?”
As long as he could “sell” the Seal at a nice price, he would kind of sort of have accomplished Sikong Tu’s trust.
“I would return it!” The man said becoming kind of awkward. “I left in a hurry, so I did not take anything valuable with .”
He turned to ng Qi and nodded slightly. He suddenly beca serious. “I know all about cause and effect, but since you bear the results, I’d better have you with . You can still keep the True Emperor Seal.”
“Obviously it’s because you did not have anything valuable!” ng Qi nodded reluctantly. After all, he could not let anyone “borrow” the True Emperor Seal for the consequences were quite serious.
“Brother, what’s your na?” ng Qi asked cautiously. A man who understood cause and effect could never be a nobody!
The man straightened his back and abruptly sat upright. He tried to be cool. “I have kept myself away from Jianghu for several years. I am not a citizen of South Jin either, so you probably did not hear about . Alas, reputation is useless. I am Gao Lan.”
He looked at ng Qi with his bright eyes as if he was waiting for him to be surprised or shocked.
“South Jin? Is he a man of North Zhou?” ng Qi frowned slightly. “I really have not heard about you.”
Except for the famous on Ranking List of Young Masters, ng Qi knew little about other masters outside of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Bohai Sea. Even for Terrestrial Rankings, he rely scanned it because there were too many nas listed.
Hearing ng Qi’s answer, the huge man lifted his brows and said urgently, “Think harder. I’m Gao Lan from Changle!”
“The Gao Family from Chang Le, the imperial family of North Zhou Dynasty… He was an expert of Gao Family… No wonder that Gu Xiaosang was so afraid… It was said that the Gao Family’s ‘Chapter of Heart’s Quietude in Thingless’ was extrely hard to accomplish. One little mistake would lead to insanity. So the Gao Family was known for its violence… Fortunately, he was a funny person…” ng Qi was shocked, so he chose to remain silent to avoid irritating Gao Lan.
Gao Lan frowned. “Still can’t rember who I am? I’ll give you another hint. I’m the Mad Prince. No, Wise Prince Gao Lan!”
ng Qi hit the brick beside him hard and pretended to be extrely shocked. “That Gao Lan! I admire you very much. I’ve often felt sorry having no opportunity to et you. I never imagined that I would et you here today!”
If Qi Zhengyan had been here, he probably would have laughed at ng Qi’s pretentious reaction. But Gao Lan laughed as he raised his face toward the sky. He was very much flattered. “Haha. I thought that everyone in Jianghu might have forgotten since I hid myself for so many years. You are such a wise man!”
“Don’t call senior. Just call Brother Gao!”
“Brother Gao, your reaction was also kind of exaggerated…” ng Qi’s eyes twitched. He continued to flatter him to please him. But ng Qi did not ntion any real event because he knew nothing about Gao Lan!
ng Qi and Gao Lan were both pleased. Before he could not find any other words to flatter Gao Lan, ng Qi quickly changed the topic. “Brother Gao, should I keep your destination a secret? I was taken by a demoness, so I’m afraid that my friends will worry about . I want to leave them a ssage to tell them I’m well and safe.”
Gao Lan retreated his smile and casually waved his hands. “It doesn’t matter. Nobody can stop if I want to do it!”
When he spoke, he was so mighty that it felt like he could rule the world.
“Although he is kind of mad, he really looks like an expert…” ng Qi was not so worried. “Thank you, my dear brother. If we enter Jun City or other cites, I want to leave a ssage for Sword Washing Pavilion and Huanhua Swords Sect…”
Before ng Qi finished, Gao Lan ca close to him and lowered his voice, saying, “But if we’re blocked by anyone, things would not go well. Leave a simple ssage for your friends, but do not tell them our location.”
“…” “Brother Gao, I just praised your bearing!” ng Qi froze before he collected himself. Then he said with a fake smile, “Okay!”
“After all, I don’t know where we are going…”
…
ng Qi and Gao Lan entered Jun City.
Maybe it was because Gao Lan had not entered Jianghu in several years, but everything was new to him. He was interested in everything, like a child. Controlled by his mood, he sotis laughed, and at others he kept talking.
“After I finish, I will treat you. Let’s drink until we are thoroughly drunk!” Gao Lan said while tapping ng Qi’s shoulders.
He seed to have been born with great strength. Even though ng Qi practiced Eight Nine Mysteries, Gao Lan was still powerful. ng Qi almost failed to bear his tapping.
They arrived at Appreciating Sword Pavilion of Sword Washing Pavilion. After taking a breath, ng Qi stepped into it and walked toward the manager.
“I’m Su ng. I’m honored to visit you.” ng Qi gave his salute.
The manager’s expression changed. He looked ng Qi up and down. “Killing Blade Su ng?”
“Yes. In order to trace Wolf King, I left Ying City. I’m afraid that Lady Jiang will worry about , so I’ve co here to inform you.” Gao Lan was just by his side, so ng Qi could use the Wolf King issue as an excuse.
The manager was relieved. “Junior Sister Jiang was looking for you. Fortunately, you’re safe.”
“And please remind her that Wolf King has mysterious Dharmakaya moves that allow him to transform into a sword. Tell her to be on her guard around him.” ng Qi did not keep the Wolf King’s secret. Instead, he hoped that everyone knew. Had it not been for that move, ng Qi could have killed Wolf King inside Happycloud Heights!
But thanks to his initiative position and precious weapons, ng Qi was not hurt by the killing Qi. Instead, if Wolf King’s left hand did not get proper and tily treatnt, it would be incurable. Five Thunder Bombardnt of Sky destroyed his ridians so greatly that he was badly hurt. Even with elixirs, it was impossible for him to open Hidden Latch within a year.
He rolled his eyes and said with a smile, “Oh. I t a senior nad Gao Lan several days ago. Do you know him?”
ng Qi pretended to test his knowledge.
Gao Lan stepped forward to get closer to ng Qi and listened carefully.
“Gao Lan? Gao Lan from Changle?” This Disciple of Sword Washing Pavilion was overwheld with surprise.
Gao Lan coughed and put his hands behind his back, the posture of a master.
“You also know him.” ng Qi was “surprised”.
The Disciple of Sword Washing Pavilion inhaled sharply. “How could I not know him. To be honest, in the past 20 years, Uncle Master Su has been the bright moon at night which was outstanding in the Ranking List of Young Masters and Terrestrial Rankings. You’re a huge pillar that all the masters in Jianghu cannot get away from. But in the previous 20 years, there were two bright stars that shocked the world. One was Evil Master Han Guang and the other was Mad Prince Gao Lan. They were equally strong. Later, Evil Master claid Dharmakaya, so Gao Lan was left behind.”
“However, Evil Master was killed by Kong Wen Luohan and Mad Prince went insane and was restrained in Changle by sects of North Zhou Dynasty and so aristocratic families. As they passed away, they were forgotten… It’s surprising that Mad Prince is still alive. Master Su, did you mistake him for soone else?”
As he said, Gao Lan’s expression gradually grew into a poker face. He hid his montum to an unfathomable depth.
With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked out of the Appreciating Sword Pavilion. ng Qi did not dare irritate him, so he hurried to say goodbye to the manager and followed Gao Lan.
Looking at the dawn, Gao Lan suddenly exhaled heavily.
“Let’s go to the Dragon platform.”
