Cultivator Lu frowned and tried to recall. "That person wore a green robe and had delicate features. He looked like a cultured and refined scholar."
Pausing for a moment, Cultivator Lu grumbled indignantly, "But it was all a lie! Who would have thought that this frail scholar would be so strong and be so terrifying the moment he attacked? "
When she heard that, Chen Meng Qi's heart skipped a beat.
In her mind, a familiar figure flashed past.
For the past four years, that figure had already been sealed in the depths of her memories and was almost forgotten.
It was only after she returned to her hometown that she recalled some of her childhood memories, adding a hint of melancholy.
After hearing Junior Brother Lu's description, the first person that came to Chen Meng Qi's mind was Su Zimo for some reason.
However, in the blink of an eye, Chen Meng Qi smiled gently and shook her head, denying that thought.
That thought was truly ridiculous.
Su Zimo did not even have a spirit root – how could he cultivate and possess such immense strength?
Chen Meng Qi had never regretted her decision back then. Even if she had to do it all over again, she would choose to leave Su Zimo and Ping Yang Town to follow Perfected Being Cang Lang into cultivation.
After four years of cultivation, she was increasingly certain of one thing.
As time passed by, the gap between her and Su Zimo would only widen until there was no possibility of them ever crossing paths.
"Let's go to the palace. I want to see which blind person dared to hurt a cultivator of Iridescent Clouds Palace!"
Xu You's voice pulled Chen Meng Qi back from her messy thoughts.
Chen Meng Qi frowned. "Senior Brother Xu, that person's cultivation realm is at mid-stage Foundation Establishment but he has the strength to defeat late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators. We can't be careless."
"Yes,"
Xu You smiled. "Don't worry, junior sister. I know what I'm doing. According to Junior Brother Lu's description, that person should have mastered a superior spirit art. He relied on that spirit art to suppress Liang Hao and the others. "
Chen Meng Qi nodded.
"However, the more superior a spirit art is, the more spirit energy it consumes."
Xu You sneered and continued, "If I'm not wrong, that person's spirit energy is already depleted. He won't be able to recover much in a short period of time and is at his weakest!"
"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Chen, let's not delay any longer. Let's make a move now."
"Yes."
Three sword lights rose into the sky. Chen Meng Qi carried Shen Nan, Xu You, and Cultivator Lu towards the palace.
…
Soon, Xu You and the other three arrived at the entrance of the King of Yan's bedroom on their swords. The door was wide open.
From outside, he could see Liang Hao, Liu Hongyi, and the other Iridescent Clouds Palace cultivators kneeling on the ground dejectedly.
Since the four of them were riding on their swords and looking down from above, they couldn't see who else was in the hall.
Xu You and the other three withdrew their flying swords and landed at the entrance of the main hall.
At first glance, the four of them saw a middle-aged man with a head full of white hair sitting in the middle.
Of course, the most obvious feature of this person was the slanted scar on his face. It was hideous and shocking, and it almost split his entire face into two!
Chen Meng Qi felt emotional when she saw Su Hong.
Of course, she knew Su Hong, but she didn't have a deep impression of him.
Even though the person before her had already become the emperor of a country and wielded great authority, compared to her, his standing and strength were still far inferior. It was as if they were clouds and mud.
Su Hong was slightly stunned when he saw Shen Meng Qi.
"A girl from the Shen family?"
After not seeing her for four years, he could barely recognize that gentle and simple girl from back then.
From Chen Meng Qi's body, he could clearly feel a coldness that kept people a thousand miles away.
Although they were both cultivators, Su Hong did not sense that coldness from Su Zimo.
At that moment, Su Hong suddenly felt thankful.
He was thankful that Shen Meng Qi had left his younger brother back then.
They were not the same type of people to begin with.
Shen Meng Qi's gaze paused for a moment on Su Hong's face before shifting to the two people sitting at the side.
A green-robed man sat on a chair at the side of the main hall with his side facing the entrance. He was leisurely tasting the freshly brewed fragrant tea with a calm expression.
When she saw the green-robed man, Shen Meng Qi felt as though she was struck by lightning. Her petite body trembled and she froze on the spot.
Shaking her head gently, Shen Meng Qi's mouth was slightly agape. Her eyes were filled with disbelief and she felt her mind go blank.
Even though it was only a side profile.
Even though they had not seen each other for four years.
Even though this person had matured a lot.
However, Shen Meng Qi still recognized him immediately.
If this was any other time, Xu You would have definitely noticed Shen Meng Qi's abnormality.
However, at that moment, his entire attention was attracted by the girl in pink who was seated below the green-robed man and he had almost forgotten where he was.
The girl in pink looked at him with a smile and her eyes curved into crescents, seemingly filled with tenderness.
"Ah!"
Right then, an exclamation sounded from the main hall.
Shen Nan had clearly recognized the green-robed man's identity and his expression changed.
Back then, this person wielded a saber and fought in a bloodbath in the courtyard of the Zhao family – the impression he left on Shen Nan was way too deep!
It was almost a nightmare that he could not get rid of.
Even though Xu You and Shen Meng Qi were standing beside him, the fear that came from the depths of his memories still caused Shen Nan to be so frightened that he exclaimed.
That exclamation was somewhat familiar.
It was only then that Su Zimo put down the teacup in his hands slowly and glanced sideways at the entrance.
Their gazes met.
Instantly, it was as though space and time had reversed.
Scenes flashed before his eyes and gradually dissipated.
For a long time, he was speechless.
Shen Meng Qi had a conflicted expression.
Su Zimo was slightly taken aback. However, his eyes regained their composure before long.
From the moment he stepped onto the path of cultivation, Su Zimo knew that he would definitely meet Shen Meng Qi again.
However, he did not expect that it would be on such an occasion and today.
Four years ago, Shen Meng Qi left resolutely and Su Zimo suffered a huge blow. He could still remember that heart-wrenching pain even till now.
If not for Die Yue's appearance, it would have been difficult for him to get out of that predicament within a short period of time.
Initially, Su Zimo thought that he was filled with resentment towards Shen Meng Qi.
In fact, he had even imagined that if the two of them were to meet again, he would stand before Shen Meng Qi and tell her proudly that there was nothing great about her world!
However, things were different from what he had imagined.
When he met Shen Meng Qi again, Su Zimo was extremely calm and even carefree.
Unknowingly, Shen Meng Qi had already become a passerby in his life, an ordinary old friend.
However, at that moment, Shen Meng Qi's heart was filled with a myriad of emotions and her mouth felt bitter.
It had been four years.
He did not seem to have changed much. He was still dressed in green robes and exuded a scholarly aura.
However, Shen Meng Qi had just used her Spirit Peering Art and could naturally tell that Su Zimo was already a cultivator.
Furthermore, he was a mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
How could this be?
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the hall turned strange.
Many disciples of Iridescent Clouds Palace knelt on the ground with bitter and confused expressions.
When Senior Sister Shen entered the hall and caught sight of the green-robed cultivator, she became distracted and confused.
It was the same for Senior Brother Xu as he stared at the girl in pink non-stop.
Nobody bothered about them at all.

Some people say that there are only two possibilities if the number of words in a chapter is decreasing. The first is that the website is retarded and can't even count the words. The second is that it's just a delusion, as if you can counterattack.
