Xiangyun City was located in the north of Tenryū Province. It was only separated from Sky Dragon City by Changqing City. Several days later, two unfamiliar faces stepped into Xiangyun City.
One of them was tall and strong. He carried a long sword on his back and was dressed in coarse clothes. After entering the city, he looked around with sparkling eyes, just like Grandma Liu visiting a grand garden. He was obviously a poor kid from the countryside. Sometimes, when he saw a pretty girl, he would stare at her fiercely, and many people would roll their eyes at him. When he saw something strange that he had never seen before, he couldn't help but walk over to touch it. When the seller saw him like that, he directly drove him away without asking if he wanted to buy it.
On the other hand, the other person was thin and weak with a cold and stiff expression. He didn't say a single word as he walked, and when passersby inadvertently met his gaze, they would feel a chill run up their spines. All of them were so frightened that they hurriedly moved their gazes away and left in a hurry.
"Hey! Ice-cube face, do you really know where Brother Ye lives in Sky Dragon City? We've been walking for so many days, and we still haven't arrived yet. Don't tell me you've forgotten the place after three years of absence? " Chu Jingtian asked suspiciously. While he was asking, his eyes were still looking around excitedly. That's right! This was the dazzling world that only existed in his dreams!
Cold Cliffs snorted as an answer. The scale of Tenryū Province was not something that a stupid bull who had never seen the world could understand.
"Whoosh, whoosh … Wow! What's this smell? It smells so good. "Chu Jingtian wrinkled his nose and followed the smell to a restaurant on the side of the road. He had lived for so long, but he didn't know what delicacies were at all. Cold Cliffs had no choice but to walk a few steps forward and drag him back. In this restaurant, there was an old man telling a story. He was telling a story about the Yeh family, Ye Wuchen, that everyone knew but would never get tired of. At this time, it was the end of the story.
"… Alas! It was said that after Ye Wuchen died, it rained heavily for three consecutive days in the Great Wind Country. Even the heavens were crying over the passing of this heroic youth … "
This short sentence stunned Chu Jingtian and Cold Cliffs. Cold Cliffs was too impulsive to care about anything else. He rushed forward and grabbed the old man's collar. He said coldly, "Who did you say died?"
Cold Cliffs's move just now was as fast as the wind. Everyone only saw a shadow flash before a person appeared in front of the old man, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up. The atmosphere suddenly became a little chaotic.
The old man was obviously frightened. When he met Cold Cliffs's wolf-like eyes, his heart trembled even more. Anyone who saw such eyes couldn't help but think of a madman who regarded human lives as worthless. He said in a trembling voice, "It's … It's Ye Wuchen who died. Everyone knows he's dead …"
Cold Cliffs tightened his grip and lifted the old man up without touching the ground. His face was cold and twisted. "Which Ye Wuchen is it?!"
"Of … of course it's the Yeh family, the most powerful Yeh family in Tenryū Province. He's General Ye's grandson, General Wei Long's son …" The old man didn't dare to struggle anymore and explained while trembling.
Leng Ya felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. The coldness spread from his body to his heart. He put the old man down weakly and murmured listlessly, "Dead, he's dead … He's actually dead …"
Chu Jingtian, who was behind him, leaned against the door. He didn't care where he was and immediately burst into tears, "Brother Ye is dead. How could Brother Ye die like this? It shouldn't have happened … I should have come out with them …"
The old man rubbed his throat and took a few steps back. Like everyone else, he looked at the two of them as if they were looking at idiots. This incident was known to the world three years ago. These two people … Did they come out from a crack in a rock?
"… What about Sister Ningxue? How is she? " Chu Jingtian suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly went forward and lifted the poor old man up like Cold Cliffs, "How is Ningxue? Where is she now? "
"Ningxue … I don't know. I don't know her." The old man waved his hand in panic.
"She's a little girl with white hair and two scars on her face!" Chu Jingtian shouted anxiously.
"Ah! I know, I know. Back then, Ye Wuchen carried a little girl with white hair and jumped into the Death Abyss. They died together. "
Chu Jingtian let go of the old man and once again burst into tears like a pitiful child.
Back then? Cold Cliffs quivered and asked in a low voice, "When did they die? Tell me quickly!"
"Yes, it was three years ago, in Gale Nation."
Three years ago? Wasn't that the time when he followed Ye Wuchen's instructions and left Sky Dragon City to find Chu Cang Ming? He actually died three years ago …
Cold Cliffs's heart became very confused and cold. It was funny that he had always wanted to repay Chu Cang Ming and even wanted to follow Chu Cang Ming, but Chu Cang Ming had already left three years ago … Then what was the reason and persistence that he had been cultivating so hard all these years, and the determination that he had told himself time and time again in his dreams?
"Who killed him?" Cold Cliffs clenched his fists tightly and said each word with difficulty. Every cold word was squeezed out from the gaps of his teeth. That trace of hatred and that extremely shocking murderous aura made the entire restaurant feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave. The people who were originally watching a good show all shivered under this terrifying aura. Their bodies trembled violently and they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Even if it was an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts, under this kind of frightening aura, they would not doubt that this cold-faced young man had extremely terrifying strength.
The pitiful old man felt as if he was being stared at by a venomous snake. If he made the slightest movement, his throat would be bitten off. After seeing that no one dared to step forward, he could only swallow with difficulty and start to honestly narrate the cause of Ye Wuchen's death, which was already known to everyone.
He was originally a storyteller. He had told the story of Ye Wuchen's battle in the Great Wind Nation many times, so he could not be more familiar with it. At first, he was a little timid, but as he spoke, he got into the role and completely forgot his situation and Cold Cliffs's eyes were constantly changing. From Ye Wuchen breaking into the Great Wind Imperial Palace to save his sister, to killing War God Feng Zhaoyang, and to killing tens of thousands of soldiers … He told the story vividly and vividly, which made people feel as if they were there in person.
When Chu Jingtian and Cold Cliffs left Xiangyun City, their hearts were as heavy as stone. Chu Jingtian was no longer as excited as before. He looked a little lonely, and his heart seemed to be blocked by something, which made him very depressed.
"Before we left, grandpa said, 'When you travel the world, you will often encounter unexpected storms, so you must be prepared.' Grandpa already knew that Brother Ye was dead, but in order not to distract us, he never told us," Chu Jingtian said with a sigh. "The time when I hung out with Brother Ye and Sister Ningxue was the period of time that I missed the most. I didn't expect that they would be gone after leaving for such a short time. "
Cold Cliffs: "…"
"Hey, Ice Face, are we still going to Sky Dragon City?"
Cold Cliffs: "…"
"I didn't ask. You should miss your mother very much, right? She must be fine. Don't worry. We can also go and pay our respects to Brother Ye. Fortunately, he had found his family before he died and killed so many people. Now, there was no one who didn't know his name, so he should be able to die without regrets. It's just that I didn't expect him to find his parents so quickly. When my grandpa picked him up, he was only seven years old. I watched him grow up day by day. How did he find his parents? What I didn't expect was that Brother Ye was so powerful. Even the God of War, Feng Zhaoyang, who was as powerful as grandpa, was … "
At this point, Chu Jingtian suddenly became alert and immediately stopped talking. At the same time, he secretly glanced at Cold Cliffs's reaction, only to find that his face was still cold and expressionless.
"I say, Ice Face, what are you thinking?"
"…"
"Say something!" Chu Jingtian rubbed his body with his arm twice.
"To Sky Dragon City!" Cold Cliffs stared ahead and finally said four words that were as good as not saying anything. He had gotten used to Chu Jingtian calling him "Ice Face" after a long time. Of course, it was just Chu Jingtian. If others dared to call him that, he would let them know what regret was.
"I know we're going to Sky Dragon City, but what about after that? You still have a mother to go to, but I don't even have Brother Ye. I originally wanted to follow Brother Ye around the world like grandpa said, but now … "
Chu Jingtian's voice was suddenly cut off. His eyes widened and his mouth opened to the widest in an exaggerated way. Cold Cliffs also stopped. His whole body was stiff, and his pupils kept shrinking as he stared ahead.
They were far away from Xiangyun City and close to Changqing City. Although the road ahead was flat, it was in the wilderness and it was hard to see people. The further they went, the fewer passers-by they saw along the way. In front of them, there was a person facing them with a gentle smile on his face. It was a kind of joy of reunion after a long time. He was not standing there, but sitting on a wooden wheelchair with his hands casually on both sides. On each side of him stood a young girl. The one on the right looked about ten years old. She was petite and had snow-white hair, snow-white skin, and clothes. There was a happy smile between her eyebrows. On her face, there were two crisscrossed hideous scars. The girl on the left had a completely different color from her. She had dark hair, a dark dress, and dark eyes. However, her skin was especially white, as if it was smeared with a layer of cream. Her face was even more exquisite. At the age of twelve or thirteen, she released a soul-stirring charm, which made people feel amazed.
"Brother Daniu, I haven't seen you for a long time." The girl in white arched her eyebrows and smiled happily. Except for Ye Wuchen, Chu Jingtian was the first person in the world who treated her well. This girl … was Ningxue!
This sweet voice awakened Chu Jingtian from his stupor, but he still opened his mouth wide and looked at the man on the wheelchair with great surprise. He stammered, "You … You are Brother Ye … and Sister Ningxue? This, this, I, I … "
(Ah, the life of an otaku is finally over. Tomorrow, I will start packing up, moving, and going to work … Damn it, I am addicted to being an otaku. So annoying!)
