CH 31

Just when Li Fenglan was speechless because of the nightmare just now, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house. As soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar figure.

It turned out that Ling Buyan had come.

Before Li Fenglan greeted him, he saw Ling Buyan standing by the screen, smiled at him and said, “Fenglan, someone will come here to see you soon.”

Li Fenglan almost became the head of Tianmian Palace in his previous life, naturally, there was some understanding of this sect.

It’s really a rare thing for him to cross a tribulation twice in a row and have the cultivation base of the Nascent Soul Stage. It would be strange if the people from the Sect didn’t come to find him!

No one came to Miguang Mountain in the past few days, and it was probably blocked by Ling Buyan. But today’s visitor should be unstoppable by Ling Buyan.

“Who wants to see me?” Li Fenglan asked subconsciously.

At this time, the person Li Fenglan thought of was Jiang Yichang—as the head of Tianmian Palace, he had always been very responsible and liked to do things by himself.

Thinking for the next moment, Ling Buyan uttered an unexpected answer.

He said: “It’s Qiu Wanyou, do you still remember him?”

“What, Qiu Wanyou is coming?!” Hearing this familiar name, Li Fenglan’s tone of voice became a little higher.

He really didn’t expect that Qiu Wanyou, the old man, would come here to visit him in person.

Li Fenglan knows his “master” very well.

Not only was Qiu Wanyou with him, but he stayed in snowy Meizhou for three hundred years.

Even before his ascension, he never left snowy Meizhou for a few times… Qiu Wanyou’s parents were both cultivators, and he himself was dedicated to cultivating the dao. He had no interest in common things.

One doesn’t visit a temple without a cause – Li Fenglan thought silently in his heart.

“Yes, Qiu Wanyou is coming.” Ling Buyan confirmed with him again.

Li Fenglan pursed his lips and said, “I’m just a little cultivator, going through a small calamity, it’s not worth alarming Qiu Wanyou.”

“Then what do you think he came to see you for?” Ling Buyan asked suddenly. He also looked curious.

“Anyway, it won’t be a good thing…” Li Fenglan sighed and said softly.

“Don’t worry.” Seeing Li Fenglan’s mournful look, Ling Buyan smiled and stood up, “If something really happens, you have your Master.”

After saying that, Ling Buyan left.

Although he understood intellectually that Qiu Wanyou had already ascended and if he really wanted to do something, no one could stop him, but after hearing Ling Buyan’s words, Li Fenglan felt a little relieved.

He inexplicably believed that Ling Buyan would not deceive himself.

Speaking of which, before that, Qiu Wanyou not only stopped the maddened Lin Chaochen, but even asked Li Fenglan to replace Li Fuyue to bury the box back in Xihou City.

It was precisely because of this that Li Fenglan thought that Qiu Wanyou had really said goodbye to his past life and transcended the world.

Compared with the previous events, Qiu Wanyou suddenly coming to Miguang Mountain this time really surprised Li Fenglan.

He instinctively said… This was definitely not a good thing.

Qiu Wanyou always did his own thing and didn’t care much about other people’s opinions. When he came to Miguang Mountain this time, he also did not hide his figure.

On this day, half of the people in Tianmian Palace saw a golden light flashing over their heads. Qiu Wanyou, who hadn’t shown up in the lower realm for many days, actually headed towards the edge of the sect.

“Is that Master Qiu?”

“It’s him, I don’t know where he’s going…”

“I see it! He is going to Miguang Mountain. The little cultivator he carried last time is in Miguang Mountain!”

Speaking of this, the cultivators’ tone became ambiguous. It won’t be long before the gossip in the sect will become richer…

When Ling Buyan left, he took Cheng Huang away along the way.

While waiting for Qiu Wanyou, Li Fenglan, who had already healed most of his injuries, sat up first, then suddenly sighed heavily, and laid back as if dying.

——He will never give Qiu Wanyou respect.

Keep pretending to be sick!

Less than half a moment later, Qiu Wanyou, dressed in white and holding a sword in his arms, finally appeared in Li Fenglan’s recuperating room.

Sword and white clothes, a jade crown at his forehead.

Obviously it was an outfit and appearance he was familiar with, but this kind of Qiu Wanyou made Li Fenglan feel very strange.

Li Fenglan, who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick, looked up at Qiu Wanyou, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

… He hoped Qiu Wanyou wouldn’t see that he was pretending to be sick.

Here, Li Fenglan was nervous, but on the other hand, at the moment when he saw Li Fenglan, Qiu Wanyou’s heart was not at peace.

The person lying on the bed at the moment was not wearing a veiled cap.

Even though Qiu Wanyou had already seen Li Fenglan’s appearance, he was still surprised at this glance…

He looked, he was really too similar.

Counting those years of ascension, Qiu Wanyou had not seen Li Fuyue for nearly two thousand years.

Even with his superb memory, the figure named “Li Fuyue” in his mind became blurred day by day.

However, the moment he saw Li Fenglan, the person in Qiu Wanyou’s heart suddenly came alive.

If he hadn’t checked Li Fenglan’s soul when he brought Li Fenglan back from Yanyi Mountain that day, Qiu Wanyou might really have thought that the person in front of him was his disciple.

“Ahem… Master Qiu?” Seeing that Qiu Wanyou didn’t speak for a long time after entering the door, Li Fenglan managed to hold back a cough, and called out to the other party tentatively.

“En.” Qiu Wanyou finally came to his senses, and even smiled slightly at Li Fenglan.

Little did they know that it was this smile that immediately sounded the alarm in Li Fenglan’s heart.

Qiu Wanyou was a true flower of Gaoling*. He treated the head of Tianmian Palace with a look of indifference back then.

* something that can be seen but not touched

The appearance in front of him was definitely a fake…

But what can make him, a cold “good master”, put down airs to pretend?

Before Qiu Wanyou could speak, Li Fenglan spoke first, “I heard that the last time I fainted due to a sudden illness in Yanyi Mountain, Immortal Master Qiu brought me back. I haven’t thanked you enough yet.”

As expected, Qiu Wanyou’s reaction was very strange.

He said, “It was just the slightest effort.”

… Slightest effort?

Perhaps seeing the suspicion in Li Fenglan’s eyes, Qiu Wanyou sat down slowly, he was silent for a while, and said to the person still lying on the bed: “To be honest, you and my big disciple should be from the same family.”

Li Fenglan pretended to be surprised and opened his eyes wide.

Qiu Wanyou was indeed a smart person. Judging from his appearance, it seems that he intends to mix the truth with lies.

After all, Qiu Wanyou can only continue with his plan if he trusted him first.

“Do you still remember the box I gave you last time?”

“Yes.”

Qiu Wanyou nodded slightly and said, “That was the relic of my eldest disciple. I want you, a member of the clan, to bury the things back for him, it would be most suitable.”

“Is that so…” Li Fenglan said softly.

Qiu Wanyou knew that being too enthusiastic would make people suspicious, so he didn’t stay here for too long this time.

After simply talking to Li Fenglan, he made a gesture to leave, as if he really was giving face to his disciple’s fellow-clan member.

But when he was about to leave, Qiu Wanyou suddenly gently put something on the table.

“This is for you. Your soul may be unstable just after crossing the tribulation. Light it every night to soothe your nerves.”

Although he was full of disdain, his current self was just an “ordinary cultivator” after all. Seeing the incense from Master Qiu, Li Fenglan immediately pretended to be surprised and thanked him.

But after Qiu Wanyou went out, the smile on Li Fenglan’s face slowly faded, and he changed from his sickly look just now, and walked off the bed barefoot.

“Soothe the nerves?” Li Fenglan sneered, picked up the incense, and said softly while playing with it, “I think it’s a call to die.”

According to Li Fenglan’s memory, this thing can indeed calm the nerves.

But if he did as Qiu Wanyou said, if he light it, his own flesh and blood will be more pure, and it will be more suitable as a sacrifice for Dongshan Yinhun Banner.

Li Fenglan didn’t speak, he directly twisted the incense into powder slowly with his fingers, and spilled it out of the window without blinking.

It seems that Qiu Wanyou was going to side with Lin Chaochen this time.

Just like last time.

But my good master and junior brother, you said you wanted to resurrect Li Fuyue, and you did not even hesitate to use me as a sacrifice.

Then why is it that I am already standing in front of you, but no one recognizes me?

Do you really want Li Fuyue to be resurrected, or… is this just for the worthless guilt in your heart?

Even after Li Fenglan was reborn, he didn’t want to have anything to do with his previous life.

But at this moment, a nasty thought still rose in his heart – Li Fenglan really wanted to know how those two people would react after finding out that he was Li Fuyue.

After leaving Miguang Mountain, the uneasiness in Qiu Wanyou’s heart gradually spread.

They were too similar, Li Fenglan and Li Fuyue were really too similar.

The resemblance was not only in the appearance, even words, deeds, facial expressions, and movements were inexplicably similar to Fuyue.

Is he really going to kill him? Qiu Wanyou was shaken.

But the next moment, the heart that was shaken just now was suppressed by the thought of resurrecting Li Fuyue.

…

The few things that happened recently really made Li Fenglan more and more angry.

After Qiu Wanyou left, after resting for many days, he finally changed his clothes and walked out of the apse of Miguang Mountain.

Seeing him go out, Cheng Huang, who was taken away by Ling Buyan just now, ran out from nowhere.

“Woooooo!” It circled around Li Fenglan, muttering something in its mouth.

Although he couldn’t understand Cheng Huang’s words, this time Li Fenglan actually felt that he seemed to understand what Cheng Huang was doing.

Li Fenglan suddenly knelt down and asked it: “Are you tattle taling? Because Ling Buyan took you out just now?”

When the news came to his ears, Cheng Huang immediately became excited.

“Sure enough.”

Li Fenglan had already discovered that Cheng Huang seemed to be particularly hostile to Ling Buyan. However, due to the disparity in strength, this little guy usually only dares to secretly tattle tale to himself when the other party was not around.

The appearance of Qiu Wanyou just now made Li Fenglan’s mood extremely bad.

He played with Cheng Huang outside the main hall of Miguang Mountain for a while, and then suddenly called out his spirit sword.

In Li Fenglan’s last life, whenever he was not in retreat, he would practice sword every day.

After his rebirth, his spiritual veins were broken and he was not suitable for holding a sword. In addition, Li Fenglan was not that obsessed with cultivation in the first place, so the number of times he had raised his sword since his rebirth can be counted on his fingers.

Miguang Mountain at noon was unbelievably quiet.

“It’s a pity that it’s not Finished Karma…” Li Fenglan wiped the blade lightly, and said with a little regret.

As soon as the words fell, when he held the sword again, his eyes changed.

As the former No. 1 person in the cultivation world, the sword was what Li Fenglan was most familiar with.

The noon sun was a little strong, so he simply closed his eyes, followed his heart, and danced with the long sword in his hand.

Li Fenglan didn’t know what kind of sword technique he was using now, he just swung the long sword in his hand instinctively as he did thousands of years ago.

In a trance, he even felt that he had returned to snowy Meizhou, the sword energy fell down the misty plum, and finally turned into a red cloud…

After all, Li Fenglan just survived two nine-nine-heavenly thunder tribulations.

Not long after, he stopped due to fatigue.

But at this moment, behind Li Fenglan, there was a burst of applause.

Li Fenglan:! ! !

I just… didn’t do anything strange, did I?

After hearing the inexplicable applause, Li Fenglan paused for a moment, then turned around slowly and looked back.

The person who came was wearing a purple brocade robe, with his long hair tied in a golden crown, he looked like a mortal rich man.

“Shi…Shu?” Li Fenglan called out these words with some difficulty.

How could it be Mo Shenyu!

Li Fenglan has long been at the bottom of his heart, acquiescing Ling Buyan as “one of his own”.

Therefore, he thought that he and Ling Buyan were the only two on Miguang Mountain, so he practiced the sword without any scruples.

Unexpectedly, Li Fenglan forgot that there was another Mo Shenyu who was retreating at Miguang Mountain! And he happened to be out today.

Compared with the last time they met, Mo Shenyu’s condition is obviously much better. He got out a folding fan from who knows where, fanned it twice before walking towards Li Fenglan.

“What? Unhappy to see Shi Shu?”

Yes, of course – Li Fenglan complained in his heart.

The original owner in “Tianmian Daosheng” died in an accident when he was with Mo Shenyu. So from the day of his rebirth, Li Fenglan decided to avoid him.

Although he thought so in his heart, he still said: “Of course not, I was just a little surprised.”

Mo Shenyu came and stood opposite Li Fenglan, he smiled and looked at the person in front of him for a while, and then said: “It turns out that my nephew’s injury has healed, it’s the first time I’ve seen you not wearing that veil in so many years.”

Li Fenglan remembered that his veil had fallen into the forbidden area, and now his face was completely exposed. In front of Mo Shenyu.

Fortunately, Mo Shenyu had never seen his appearance in his previous life, and Li Fenglan heard what he said so he was not particularly nervous, but Mo Shenyu never disappoints.

Before Li Fenglan could say anything, he heard the other party say in a distorted manner: “It’s a pity that my nephew doesn’t show his face, and it’s a pity to be a cultivator and stay on Miguang Mountain all day.”

He knew it.

After Li Fenglan was reborn, he hadn’t met Mo Shenyu a few times, but every time they saw each other, Mo Shenyu’s topic would always be—you better give up cultivation.

Accustomed to the other party’s unscrupulous appearance, Li Fenglan also followed his words this time: “If I go elsewhere, I won’t know anything.”

As he spoke, he subconsciously pulled a sword flower, and put the long sword in his hand back into the scabbard.

And at this moment, the person standing opposite Li Fenglan suddenly made a move.

The folding fan in Mo Shenyu’s hand suddenly attacked Li Fenglan.

Seeing this scene, Li Fenglan instinctively raised his left hand, and used the scabbard to knock out the folding fan.

“Good swordsmanship!” Mo Shenyu suddenly said with a smile.

“Shi Shu, what exactly do you want to do?”

Li Fenglan just asked, when Mo Shenyu took out a spirit sword from nowhere.

He smiled at Li Fenglan and said: “It’s not a big deal, nephew, don’t worry. I just want to compete with you.”

Help!

Mo Shenyu, how could he think it and do it?

Before Li Fenglan refused, the sword in Mo Shenyu’s hand came directly towards him.

Although he didn’t use spiritual power, the speed of this strike still told Li Fenglan – Mo Shenyu wasn’t just doing that, he was playing with himself for real!

Li Fenglan narrowed his eyes and clenched the sword in his hand.

Although his cultivation was not high, his swordsmanship was unmatched by anyone in the world.

In addition to seeing Qiu Wanyou just now, Li Fenglan’s mood was really not very good. This time Mo Shenyu could be regarded as hitting the muzzle of a gun.

In the blink of an eye, Li Fenglan had bypassed the man in purple and appeared behind him.

With a “swipe”, the bead chain hanging beside Mo Shenyu was cut off by Li Fenglan’s sword.

The fine Dongzhu on the chain just spilled all over the ground.

Hearing this, Mo Shenyu subconsciously looked towards the ground.

But to Li Fenglan’s surprise, Mo Shenyu didn’t show any signs of getting angry.

He smiled, and said: “My nephew is really good at swordsmanship!”

Li Fenglan: “…”

Mo Shenyu’s behavior reminded him of Duan Qianli in his previous life.

The cultivators of Tianmian Palace were all first-class masters in the cultivation world. In addition, Mo Shenyu was also a genius who was specially written by the author in “Tianmian Daosheng”, so although he was at a disadvantage, he was still calm and stable.

Here Mo Shenyu seemed to be enjoying the sword competition, but he didn’t know that on the other side, Li Fenglan was thinking about other things.

It was said in “Tianmian Daosheng” that Ling Buyan and Mo Shenyu died together in the end.

But after these moves, Li Fenglan didn’t feel anything unusual about Mo Shenyu.

He was indeed powerful, but this kind of power cannot be compared with Ling Buyan…

Although Li Fenglan was thinking about other things, after a few moves, Mo Shenyu was still clearly at a disadvantage.

Just waiting for Li Fenglan to draw out the sword for the last time, the cold blade landed on the opponent’s neck.

“You lost.” Li Fenglan said.

Feeling the cold temperature on his neck, Mo Shenyu was stunned for a moment, and then threw the long sword in his hand to the ground.

“I concede defeat.” He said these words with a smile.

Li Fenglan was just recovering from a serious injury, and Mo Shenyu was not easy to deal with. So after this fight, Li Fenglan’s condition was not so good.

He adjusted his breathing a little, and his eyes fell on the long sword lying on the ground involuntarily.

Li Fenglan was a swordsman after all. Although the sword on the ground was not his own, seeing it lying alone on the ground, Li Fenglan subconsciously bent down and picked up the long sword on the ground.

“Here you are.” He said to Mo Shenyu.

Li Fenglan just picked it up casually, he didn’t expect that just as he straightened up, he saw Mo Shenyu standing in front, smiling and looking at him with an unpredictable expression.

“Shi Shu?” Li Fenglan was a little terrified when he saw him.

“It’s nothing.” Mo Shenyu shook his head lightly and said, “I just suddenly felt that nephew, you are quite interesting.”

Quite interesting? Hearing these words, Li Fenglan subconsciously took two steps back.

Although he was not familiar with Mo Shenyu, upon hearing the tone of the other party’s words, he somehow felt something was wrong…

Mo Shenyu smiled, glanced at Li Fenglan, and gently took the long sword from his hand .

At this moment, Mo Shenyu suddenly approached, and said in Li Fenglan’s ear: “I lost this time, next time, I will come to compare moves with my nephew.”

His tone was very serious. After saying this, he gently blew Li Fenglan’s long hair. Mo Shenyu played around in the mortal world, he was very familiar with this kind of action.

It was this action that gave Li Fenglan goosebumps all over his body.

So without thinking, when he heard those words, Li Fenglan pulled out the long sword sheathed just now.

In an instant, the blade landed on Mo Shenyu’s neck again.

Seeing this, Mo Shenyu stretched out his hand and flicked the blade lightly, “Don’t be angry, nephew, I’m serious.” After saying that, the man stretched out his hand and pushed the blade down, and then left Miguang Mountain without looking back.

When he left, he did not forget to say to Li Fenglan with a smile: “see you later”.

“Inexplicable…” Li Fenglan said softly.

Seeing Mo Shenyu leave, Li Fenglan finally put the sword in his hand into the scabbard solemnly again.

Just when Li Fenglan was about to turn around and walk into the room, he suddenly saw a familiar black figure appearing on the other side of the cliff.

At the same time, the other party’s gaze also fell on Li Fenglan.

No way.

Today was a very fulfilling day.

Seeing the person coming, Li Fenglan silently took a step back.

At the moment when he retreated, the other party finally got off the flying sword and stepped onto the cliff.

Li Fenglan: “…”

This time, he really wanted to cry for help in his heart.

Not far away, the Xiezhi pattern on the robe of the man in black was glowing faintly in the sun. He really wanted to pretend that he didn’t see it… When did this rebel disciple come to Miguang Mountain!

Li Fenglan silently took two steps back.

Meng Linzhou took four steps forward silently.

Li Fenglan turned his head and walked quickly into the house.

Meng Linzhou trotted and grabbed his arm.

Li Fenglan:! ! !

“You…” Meng Linzhou finally spoke, and his voice could be heard trembling slightly.

After a pause, he said the following sentence: “Who taught you those sword moves just now?”

At this time, Li Fenglan turned his back to Meng Linzhou. He didn’t know that when he spoke, the eyes of the other party had become red.

Meng Linzhou stared at Li Fenglan’s back without blinking.

“Sect swordsmanship…of course it was taught by my master.” Li Fenglan didn’t even think about it, and directly pushed the blame on Ling Buyan.

At this moment, Meng Linzhou’s voice was not only trembling, but even the arm he was holding Li Fenglan was trembling too.

“And your face…why is it so similar to him?” When Meng Linzhou said this, his voice was extremely low, but he was too close to Li Fenglan, and the words still reached Li Fenglan’s ears without a word missing.

Before the wind blew the veiled hat, Meng Linzhou had a glimpse of Li Fenglan’s appearance.

He had always known that Li Fenglan was somewhat similar to his master.

But this time, when the face of the other party was fully displayed in front of him, Meng Linzhou was still in a daze.

Li Fenglan gritted his teeth, and he pretended to be calm and said: “Just now Master Qiu Wanyou came here, and he told me that Li Fuyue and I were of the same family…that is, relatives in the mortal world.”

“No.” These two words suddenly popped out.

His rebel disciple always seldom talked, but he suddenly popped out these two words. Li Fenglan didn’t understand what Meng Linzhou meant.

“What do you mean by no?” He tried to move forward, but Meng Linzhou pulled him too tightly.

As soon as Li Fenglan’s voice fell, Meng Linzhou said: “I didn’t say who ‘he’ was, why did you think of my Master Li Fuyue?”

D*mn it.

Wasn’t this rebel disciple not smart?

Why did he suddenly react now?

It’s a pity that Li Fenglan, who was a respected master, admitted for the first time that his disciple was smart, and it was because of this incident.

The situation was already very critical, but Li Fenglan still pretended to be calm and said: “…Because someone said we looked alike before.”

Meng Linzhou, the rebel disciple, usually had a stink face.

But at this moment, Li Fenglan actually heard him laughing standing behind him.

Meng Linzhou let go of Li Fenglan slowly. He walked around to the front, stared at the man, and said softly: “But I saw it, you know the sword technique created by my master.”

While speaking, Meng Linzhou’s eyes were red, and his upper and lower teeth were even stumbling.

Li Fenglan never thought that one day Meng Linzhou would appear in front of him with such a posture.

In the next moment, Meng Linzhou, who was already the sect’s law-abiding immortal, actually lightly grasped Li Fenglan’s hands, and knelt down on the ground little by little.

“I miss my master, do you know where he is?”

He just knelt on the ground, looked up at Li Fenglan and asked.
