Chapter 109 The Invisible Old Man
Yun Zhao hooked a strand of his hair and played with it, "Let's see how you behave."
Qi Yan smiled radiantly, "Zhao Zhao, you're so kind!"
Hanmu Jiao: "..."
Hey, there's a single dragon here!
Besides Hanmu Jiao, there was another person who had been secretly observing Yun Zhao and the other's every move. When Song Zhiyuan saw their intimate behavior, he almost bit his back teeth to pieces.
Although he knew that Yun Zhao had completely fallen in love with someone else, seeing Yun Zhao with Qi Yan, whom he hated, still made him want to take Yun Zhao back immediately!
Things are different now. Before, he could use Qi Yan's identity to blackmail him with a clear conscience, but ever since he learned that Qi Yan and his mother were the victims, when he targets Qi Yan, it's as if he is a despicable and insidious villain.
Of course, Song Zhiyuan doesn't care about these trivial matters, but if the truth comes out one day, the image he has worked so hard to build in everyone's hearts will collapse.
Although Lady Yuan is dead, it's possible that she left herself a way out before she went mad and told others the truth.
Song Zhiyuan always considers the consequences of his actions, and he is especially cautious when it comes to matters involving himself.
Seeing that Qi Yan hadn't provoked him, he decided to treat Qi Yan as invisible for the time being, and wait until he had enough strength before finding a way to kill Qi Yan silently.
Only if Qi Yan also dies will no one bring up the past, and only then will Song Zhiyuan's and the Song family's reputation remain intact.
Seeing Song Zhiyuan's constantly changing expression, Xue Huairui sat quietly beside him without saying a word.
Song Zhiyuan took the initiative to ask her what she had said to Yun Zhao, and what Yun Zhao had said to her.
"Xiao Rui, don't take it to heart. Your senior brother doesn't want to interfere in your private affairs. He's just afraid that Yun Zhao is deceiving you."
"Although Yun Zhao was very good before, her temperament has changed drastically recently, and she acts without any rhyme or reason. I'm afraid she'll bully you."
Song Zhiyuan explained.
Xue Huairui said gently, "I know that you mean well, senior brother. Don't worry, senior brother. I just asked Senior Sister Yun about Hanyue Zhenren's preferences."
"After all, I almost suffered a qi deviation during my cultivation before, and it was Master Hanyue who appeared and saved me."
Song Zhiyuan nodded, "I see. Yun Zhao is indeed the one who understands Han Yue Zhenren the most."
"However, just to be on the safe side, Xiao Rui, you should still have less contact with Yun Zhao."
Xue Huairui nodded obediently, "Yes, I'll listen to my senior brother."
Song Zhiyuan's smile widened. "Good girl, by the way, you mentioned last time that you had some questions about cultivation that you wanted to ask me. Now that I have some free time, I'll tell you about them..."
He patiently answered Xue Huairui's questions, immediately earning her admiring gaze. Seeing this, the other disciples also surrounded Song Zhiyuan, asking him for guidance.
In no time, the place where Song Zhiyuan was located became extremely lively, with disciples from other sects peeking out, eager to find out what was happening there.
Seeing that someone was offering free answers to their questions, another group of people immediately surrounded Song Zhiyuan, completely blocking his way.
Some genuinely sought answers, while others were simply there for the fun of it all. Of course, the area where Song Zhiyuan was located was rich in spiritual energy, and some people took advantage of the chaos to absorb some of it.
Song Zhiyuan was surrounded in the very center. There was hardly any spiritual energy left, let alone any air. But he was proud, so whenever someone asked, he had to say something, regardless of whether he knew the answer or not.
For a time, everyone praised Song Zhiyuan, the senior brother of Qingyun Sect, for his noble character, even at the cost of his own cultivation time, in order to answer questions for others.
Xue Huairui had already slipped away when the crowd gathered around her, and she found a quiet place to continue her cultivation.
She didn't want to be dragged down by that idiot Song Zhiyuan. The spiritual energy at the entrance of Lingxu Palace was several times denser than in other places, and spiritual energy would occasionally emanate from inside Lingxu Palace. She didn't want to use it for cultivation, but rather for gossiping.
Many people thought the same as her. They glanced at the "spectacle" on Song Zhiyuan's side, then looked away and focused on their cultivation.
Instead of focusing on his cultivation when he should be cultivating, he's busy with these manipulative tactics. I don't know whether to call Song Zhiyuan ambitious or foolish.
Yun Zhao sighed, "As expected of the senior brother, we can't compare to his broad-mindedness."
Yu Wei nodded in deep agreement.
At this moment, another wave of spiritual energy spread out, and everyone fell silent, focusing on their cultivation.
Before the Lingxu Palace opened, more people arrived one after another. Yu Wei searched everywhere but couldn't find any disciples of Mufeng.
Although there are fellow disciples here, they are still a layer apart from the brothers and sisters of one peak.
He was not even as close to Yun Zhao and Qi Yan as he was to them.
Yu Wei originally wanted to invite Yun Zhao and Qi Yan to join the other disciples, but Yun Zhao declined.
“Senior Sister Yu, Qi Yan and I are not looking for opportunities or inheritances. We just want to go in and have some fun, and maybe find some rare spiritual plants. We’re on different paths, so let’s forget about it.”
They went in to find the Demon-Transforming Grass. Also, Qi Yan is a demon, and it would be terrible if he revealed his true form in front of others.
"Alright," Yu Wei said with a hint of regret, but quickly came to terms with it. "Take care, junior sister. We'll meet again someday."
Although Lingxu Palace only opens on the night of the full moon, it will open a small door when the midday sun is at its strongest.
The small door and the main door lead to different places. The world behind the small door is less dangerous and is suitable for cultivators with insufficient strength to go in for training and treasure hunting.
Some people, feeling that their cultivation was insufficient, went inside as soon as the small door opened.
However, most people did not move; they were all waiting for the full moon to go to the real Lingxu Palace to seek opportunities and inheritance.
Unseen by the crowd, two elderly men with white hair and beards commented on them:
"That little guy is not bad. The Lingxu Palace is about to open, and he is still persisting in his cultivation."
"I think that one is quite good. His cultivation is outstanding, and he seems clever. Maybe he can..."
They talked enthusiastically, and taking advantage of the fact that no one could see them, they would occasionally weave through the crowd and play pranks on the unsuspecting people.
For example, conjure up a stone to trip someone up, or sprinkle some dirt to blind them...
Well, he looks like a wise and venerable old man, but he's actually a mischievous old man.
Xue Huairui glanced at the two of them casually and muttered something under her breath.
They were having a great time when, when they reached Yun Zhao, an old man, for reasons unknown, took out a pen and tried to draw a flower on Yun Zhao's face.
Although others couldn't see the flowers on her face, the two brothers could!
But before he could draw, two cold gazes fell on him, and the old man suddenly shivered, his hand trembled, and he dropped the pen.
"Huh? What is this?"
Yun Zhao saw a pen suddenly appear on the ground. She bent down to pick it up and realized that it was a talisman pen.
As the name suggests, it is the exclusive brush used by talisman masters when drawing talismans.
Because of Meng Wenchang, Yun Zhao learned what a talisman pen looked like.
"Indeed, its rank is quite high."
